I've known Jon since freshman year of High School. We tried to start a band, but none of the kids we played with were good enough to make it through a single song. Sometimes he'd just come over by himself and we'd play guitar together. Even then I remember thinking about him in a different way than all of my other friends.
I could never put my finger on why I liked him. All I know is that ever since I started finding porn on the internet I've wanted to try sucking dick, and if anyone's dick was in my mouth I wanted it to be his.
We're both twenty-three now and out of college. Not once in all the years since I first met him have we ever talked about sex of any kind, let alone me sucking his dick. From time to time I've suspected that he wants it, something at least, but I can never be sure. He's had a string of girlfriends up until last summer, and since then all he can talk about is his latest celebrity crush. It seems like his last break-up has opened his mind up to things exciting and new. Maybe he's trying to hide, under all his talk, whatever gay side he might have. I didn't know--until last Saturday that is--last Saturday I found out.
Saturday was cold and windy and bunch of us were playing football. After a while the games always broke down. People would leave, or show up, and create lopsided teams, then one team would score touchdown after touchdown. This happened after an hour. As we were walking to the parking lot Jon asked if anyone wanted to go to his house and play the new Guitar Hero game he just ordered online. I agreed, everyone else had somewhere to go.
After dropping the rest of our friends off, Jon and I went to his new apartment. He had just moved in a month ago.
"Nice place," I said. "How much is this costing you?"
"Twelve hundred a month."
"Wow, really? So it's twenty-four hundred a month total?"
"No," he said as he switched on the game console and picked up the guitar controller. "That's the full price."
"Oh, I thought I heard someone say that you had a roommate."
"No, not yet. My old college roommate is coming up in a couple of weeks, he's just got to finish his old job. I'm all alone for now."
"That's cool." I was really hoping that he wouldn't start whining to me about how he needed a girlfriend. He didn't.
"What level do you want to set the game on?" he asked.
"I don't know, hard I guess."
"Hard is pretty tough, I've already beat it on hard." Jon had a somewhat annoying habit of talking about how good he is at everything. To be fair, he is better than the average person at most of the things he brags about, video games, football, lacrosse...
"Well, I'm sure I can manage it, I was always better than you at guitar anyway."
"Yeah, right!"
An idea leapt into my head. "Want to make a bet then?"
"Okay. What do I get if I win?"
"How about loser gives the winner head?" I did my best to make it sound like I was completely joking, just in case he was weirded out by the suggestion. He didn't seem to be.
"Fine," he said with a laugh.
He picked a song and started playing. When the scoring screen came up at the end of the song, it tallied to 224,623.
"Pressure's on!" he said as he handed me the guitar controller.
I started out just okay, my timing was a bit off on some of the faster parts of the song, but I managed to get the "star power" bonus and use it at all the right times. I glanced down at the score in the bottom corner of the screen and saw that the number started with a two but the song's solo kicked in and I had to turn my attention back to the notes flying at me.
