I am a straight male with some bisexual tendencies. I apologise if this story does a poor job of representing gay people or gay culture. It is a fictional story, though it is sort of based on a true life experience. I had the same opportunity as my character Eric, but never followed through with it. I always wondered and fantasized about what could have happened if I did, and that is the basis for the following story. It starts out slow, but I promise that it gets a lot hotter in the second half and then the second part. Without getting to know the characters before the sex starts I never really get too much into the story. This is my first submission to Literotica and was self-edited, so please be kind and constructive with your criticism.
Prologue: A Winter Encounter
Elena and I rushed in from the cold, holding each other's hands. It was late December and it was practically a blizzard outside. The mall we walked into had decked its halls in Christmas lights, Christmas trees, and paper snowflakes. We were both freshman in college and this was the first week of our holiday break. We were trying to do some last minute shopping for each of our parents. This would be the first Christmas we would spend with each others families and so we wanted to make a good impression.
Elena and I had met the second week of the semester and had been dating for about two months. I slept with a few girls back in high school but never felt for any of them the way I did for Elena. I was her first lover, and she was devoted to me. We had been throwing around the "L" word but wanted to take our time before totally committing ourselves.
She had long, dark hair that ended in natural curls. She had a round, but pretty face with a button nose and sensuous lips. Her eyes were a dark brown, almost black. She wore heavy eye makeup and lipstick that made her look like a glamorous movie star from the 1930s.
I looked a bit more conventional. I had shaggy brown hair and blue eyes and had been told I was handsome by many girls but never really felt that confident in my appearance.
"Oh my god, Daniel!" yelled Elena. I looked up to see her running toward another young man she saw from the other side of the lobby and enveloping him in a big hug. She also allowed him to give her a kiss on the cheek. Even though she was getting very friendly with another man, I wasn't jealous in the slightest.
"When did you get back?" asked Elena.
"Late yesterday, my finals were done last Wednesday but I decided to try looking for a job for the spring while I was still in Illinois", Daniel replied.
Daniel was Elena's best friend. He had left go to to Northwestern in Evanston, Illinois while Elena enrolled in our hometown university like I did. I had heard a lot about him but had not met him yet. He was very skinny and definitely had a "hipster" look going on. He had large glasses and a little bit of stubble on his cheeks and chin. He hair was cropped short and beneath his glasses I could see he had blue eyes like mine. He was wearing a striped scarf, a sweater jacket and tight jeans. Daniel had come out as gay before leaving for college and seemed to be very comfortable with his sexuality.
"So this must be Eric," Daniel said as he turned to face me. "I have heard a lot about you." Daniel reached out his hand to shake mine and I returned it. His grip was quite strong, though I didn't really expect it to be effeminate or anything.
Daniel said to Elena, "Wow, he is really hot. You did a nice job this time, Elena." We all chuckled, but I started turning a bit red when Daniel winked at me.. I had never had my looks complimented on by another guy before. "It sounds like he keeps you well satisfied in bed too."
"Oh, will you stop it," Elena said, hitting Daniel playfully. If you thought my face was red before, now I was crimson.
"Who are you kidding girl, you are such a floozy," Daniel replied. "I have got to run though, I am supposed to be meeting someone. It was great seeing you! Hope we can meet up a few times before break is over" Daniel gave me another handshake and gave Elena another hug before he departed.
"So you talked to him about our sex life?" I asked incredulously after he left.
"Who else was I supposed to talk to? He is my best friend," Elena retorted. It was true, she didn't have very many friends, though the ones she did have were very close. "Why does it bother you so much?" she asked.
I replied, "I don't know. It just feels weird. Him thinking about me having sex in that way."
"You are not going to go all homophobic on me now, are you? I thought you were better than that."
"No, not at all. I love gay people!" I said the last part loud enough that a couple people around us overheard and turned their heads. Elena started to snicker and I said, "Not in that way either. Ha ha."
Elena leaned in close to my ear and whispered, "Well, to make it even I can tell you about his sex life. Two weeks ago when we talked on the phone he told me that he had given a blowjob for the first time in his life. Does that make you feel weird?"
"Of course not", I said.
But what I could not tell her was that it did make me feel weird in a way I had never experienced before. And I would be thinking about Daniel's mouth on my penis for months to come.
Act I: Spring Awakening
Daniel found out a few days later that he had scored a job interview back in Illinois that was scheduled two days after Christmas. With all the busyness of the season and Daniel having to go back early, Elena and him never got to meet up again. Elena and I hit it off very well with each other's families and our relationship got even more serious. Even though we were still so young, we had already begun discussing marriage and having kids after we both graduated from college.
While I was still living in the dorm, Elena had moved in with her sister who was a few years older than her and already graduated. Elena had been living in a sorority, but unsurprisingly she hated it and moved out after only one semester. That made meeting up a little more difficult, but her sister was gone from the house a lot so that gave us lots of chances to sleep together.
I ran on the Cross Country and Track team for the University, but blew my knee out in a freak accident during a race at an Indoor Track Meet. It was going to take a year to fully recover enough so that I could run again, and I decided just to quit racing. I had academic as well as athletic scholarships so I could still afford to go to school. Before my accident I was a complete straight-edge. I never smoked and rarely ever drank. After the injury though, I began to drink and go to parties (wearing crutches of course) and I also became a bit of a stoner. Elena didn't care much for me smoking pot but she knew my injury gave me constant pain so she didn't begrudge it too much.
Towards the end of the semester I finally had surgery done on my knee which put me out completely for a few weeks. After a few weeks of recovery I finally could stop wearing the crutches and boot and start bending my knee. I didn't smoke or drink for a few weeks and couldn't be intimate with Elena either. I was practically dying after just a week without any of those things. It sounded like Elena was planning a bit of a surprise for me though.
It turns out that Daniel was finally going to be back in town but unfortunately it was the same week that Elena's family was going on vacation. She was super pissed about it, but glad that they could at least see each other one day before she left and he went back to Illinois. Apparently I wasn't enough a part of the family yet, so I was not invited to go with them on their vacation to California. Elena and her sister did ask me to house-sit and feed their cat while I was gone though, so I decided to just spend the night at their place for a few days instead of at my parents where I had moved back for the summer.
Elena invited Daniel to come over and have a few drinks and watch something with us. Elena and I started a little bit early and were already two drinks in when we heard a knock at the door. Elena opened it to let Daniel in. He was wearing shorts and a Arcade Fire T-shirt and it looked like he had gotten new glasses since I had seen him last. He was also clean-shaven now instead of having the beginnings of a beard. Elena gave him a long, deep hug and then Daniel surprised me by giving me a hug as well.
We weren't 21 yet but Elena's sister did keep beer and other drinks in the house. I told Daniel, "I am not much of a bartender but I can try and make you something. There is instant Cosmopolitan or Margarita mix or we have beer."
"A Cosmopolitan would be great, Eric," Daniel replied.
I made a Cosmopolitan for Elena and Daniel and grabbed a beer for myself then went downstairs where Elena and Daniel were talking on the couch. We decided to watch some episodes of Arrested Development since Elena and Daniel were both in shock that I had never seen the show before. Before we started Elena nodded to Daniel and he pulled a pouch out of his pocket. In it was a bag of weed and a small pipe.
Elena said, "I know how badly you have wanted to smoke these last few weeks. I asked Daniel to pick up some pot so you could smoke together."
"Wow, thanks El! I didn't know you smoked, Daniel."
"On occasion, particularly when I am in the right mood." He filled up the pipe with some very green looking bud. He had definitely spent some money getting that good of stuff. He gestured for me to start and so I took a lighter from him and lit the green in the bowl.. After taking a puff, I asked if Elena wanted to try it and she shook her head. So I handed the pipe to Daniel instead. We started watching a couple episodes, slowly getting high and imbibing more alcohol all the while..
"Lucille Bluth is like my spirit animal," Daniel said during a particularly funny part.
Elena retorted, "Well that makes sense, since you are such a catty bitch!"
"Ouch" I said. "But you really shouldn't be one to talk, Elena." Elena punched me in my side and Daniel howled with laughter.
"Oh, I like him Elena." Daniel said between laughs. "He is a keeper."
While Daniel was laughing I started looking at his face for what looked like the first real time. I don't know if it was because I was a couple drinks in or was in an altered state of consciousness but I started looking at him differently. With his face shaven and with smaller glasses I could tell that he was really pretty. He actually looked prettier than a lot of girls I knew. I quickly banished such thoughts from my mind and kept paying attention to the show.
We watched a few more episodes and then Daniel declared, "I need a cigarette!"
"Ugh, you two go ahead," said Elena. I shrugged and nodded and went upstairs with Daniel to have a smoke. Elena still came outside with us while we smoked and chatted. After a while she excused herself to go to the bathroom and get a new drink. While she was gone Daniel and I just chatted nonchalantly about school and our hometown. Somehow, we got on the subject of his first boyfriend and how much of an asshole he ended up being. It must have been the alcohol or marijuana affecting my inhibitions but I began to just start asking whatever question came to mind.
