I had known Brian for about 3 months now. I met him when I started working at a newer factory, him being new as well. Being in our late 20s and being new to the job, we hit it off quickly, joking around at work and hanging out regularly.
It was one weekend night at his house, enjoying one or two beers, playing some video game, when Brian complained about a spasm in his lower back.
"Ah," he said, leaning forward on the couch, rubbing his lower back. "Some days, all the lifting at our job just gets to me." He seemed to be in real discomfort, but I just found it odd, Brian being a bit bigger than me physically. I never had any problems from working, but I sympathized with him.
"Sorry man, that sucks," I said, finishing off the last sip of a beer.
"This may sound crazy," he says, turning towards me. "But I have this massage table I got as a gift, I've never gotten the chance to test it out. You think you could maybe work my lower back a bit?"
"Wha?" I am confused at Brian's request, unable to answer. He just laughs.
"Look," he says, "Nothing weird, ha. I just could really use the help, and it's not like there's any ladies here or professional masseurs."
"I, um.." I try to think of an excuse, a way to say no. "I don't know the first thing about giving a massage, I'd probably make it worse." This makes Brian laugh again, it almost seems like a nervous laugh.
"No, come on, you'll do great. You've got these little dainty hands." He reaches out and squeezes my hands after saying this. I immediately pull them away, laughing.
"Hey!" I exclaim. "That's a bit rude!" Still laughing, Brian stands up and goes to his nearby closet. He pulls out the folding massage table, and sets it up in front of the couch. I merely sit and watch, curious now.
"Oh, come on," Brian lifts his shirt off and tosses it aside, shocking me. The first thing I notice is how defined his body is. I mean, I kind of knew from being around him, but seeing him without a shirt shows off every detail of his ripped abs and pecs. "Just try it, come here."
"Oh, k.." my mind is sort of stun locked after seeing Brian's body. I'm not gay or anything, it just really is impressive. Feebly, I stand up, and move towards the massage table, Brian already laying face down on it.
"Oh, I forgot," he says, turning his head, reaching into a bag. He grabs some oil, and hands it to me. "It's supposed to be warming oil, good for pain relief. I don't know, feel free to use some." I stare at the oil, setting it aside for the moment, my eyes returning to Brian's long back on the table in front of me.
"Ok. I might have to." I stand next to the table, and place my hands about halfway down Brian's back. I begin to do my best massage impression (I've seen a few videos) mimicking the movements of kneading and squeezing the muscles.
"Wow," Brian's voice is noticeably lower and calmer than a few seconds ago. "That already feels incredible. Keep going, please."
"Ok, good." I feel proud of myself, able to help my friend out like this. He mentioned his lower back, so I move my hands down lower, massaging a few inches above Brian's shorts. He lets out a deep sigh as I hit this area, so I know that I'm doing the right thing. I can't lie, I become a bit mesmerized at the way Brian's strong back feels beneath my hands.
"Mmm," Brian nearly moans out. "That's starting to feel incredible. Feel free to use the oil."
"Oh.. yeah." I had nearly forgotten about the oil. I pop it open, and hold it over Brian's lower back, watching as a few drops splash down, causing another sigh, near moan to come from Brian's lips. For some reason, this makes me smile as I begin to work it into his lower back, some of it trickling down onto his shorts.
"Fuck yeah," Brian moans out, his voice much lower and deeper than earlier. As good as this feels helping out my friend, it's really awkward trying to massage his back from the side of the table. I try to move towards the back, but it's too long of a stretch for my shorter arms.
"Here, I may have to try something, to get a better angle," I say to Brian, grabbing the sides of the massage table. I pull myself up onto the table (hoping the entire time that this thing will support both our weight) and sort of gently sit on Brian's legs, my legs hanging off the sides.
"Mmm, yeah," Brian doesn't seem to mind at all. "That'll definitely help get a better angle."
"Yeah.." I say, returning my hands to his lower back in this new position. I work the oil over his smooth, strong back, going down lower. I grip onto his belt buckle for support, rubbing smooth circles over his lower back. But the way I grip it, his pants sort of accidentally slide lower, the top of Brian's ass cheek nearly popping out. I want to apologize, but Brian doesn't seem to mind. He seems deeply relaxed, making the occasional moan or sigh of approval.
"How, how's this feeling?" I ask Brian, my voice suddenly sounding a bit shaky, softer than earlier.
"Mmm, so good, thank you," he replies. Suddenly, at his soft, deep voice, and the sight of his oily back, the top of his ass cheek exposed, I feel something coming over me, rushing through my body. My cock begins to harden. I nearly panic. But I don't say anything, my hands still running over Brian's lower back, my thumbs barely grazing the top of his ass.
Up to this point, I've never had a gay thought, at least one I've ever acknowledged. But this is a very peculiar situation, one I've never been in before. I feel so embarrassed, I try to readjust, maybe to hide my boner, but that only causes it to brush against the bottom of Brian's ass, hardening it even more. My face feels red, I suddenly want to run away, this can't be happening. But Brian turns his head, his eyes barely open, almost whispering.
