"Crazy how fast the year went by, isn't it?" Michael looked over at me as he finished taping up one of the last boxes scattered around the room. I couldn't believe that less than a year ago, I was a cheery-eyed freshman moving away from home and now it was already time to leave.
"Yeah." Was all I could say as I watched him stack up his boxes in preparation for move-out day tomorrow. This was it. I took a deep breath as I steeled myself for what was coming next. You see, I've had a huge crush on my roommate since I met him. When I first moved in, I was shocked by how handsome he was. He was tall, charming and had a smile that would light up any room he was in.
Throughout the year, we didn't hang out too much outside of our dorm, mainly because he was an Engineering major and I was in the Business school. He had his friends and I had mine. However, we had shared the same room and that counted for something. We both shared a lot of coffee as we diligently focused on our studies and even shared some of our hobbies with each other. I had taught him some basic Frisbee skills in the field next to the dorm, and he was enthusiastic about sharing his love of football. While I wasn't particularly a big fan of the sport, it was fun to watch him get super excited every Sunday night in front of our TV. He would always tap his foot on the hardwood floor incessantly if the scores were close and would jump up whenever his favorite team scored.
Despite the time we spent in close proximity, I was still careful with my secret. I hadn't told anyone other than my closest friends about my sexuality, and I didn't want to bring it up if I didn't need to. While Michael had a gentle and kind demeanor, our school was in a conservative state and the topic of sexuality had never come up in our conversations. He hadn't brought any girls back to our dorm overnight, but I still assumed that he was straight and didn't want to pry. It was a shame though as I only grew more and more attracted to him throughout the year.
We were both the same height, but he had a more trim physique. He had been determined not gain the infamous freshman fifteen. Not only had he achieved that goal, but the regular gym sessions had given him some more definition than he had at the beginning of the year. It was hard not to notice the changes as I saw him every day. The tank tops he wore around the room showed off his broad shoulders and his athletic shorts hugged his smooth ass as he walked. Throughout the year, I was even able to catch glimpses of the bulge in his underwear as he changed, although I forced myself to look away for the fear of getting found out. It wasn't long before he had become the center of my fantasies. While I was careful keeping my late night jerk-offs secret, the fact that the subject I was thinking about was less than 10 feet away made it even hotter.
It was because of my growing infatuation that I made sure to keep him at arms reach. When invited to accompany him to the gym, I always turned him down. As much as I wanted to watch him work out and see his muscles in action, the thought of being caught staring kept me away. However, over the last few weeks, I had steeled myself because I knew this would all change.
"Hey, can I tell you something?" I asked, taking a gulp as my voice came out hoarse and cracked.
"Yeah, sure. What is it?" He set down the last of his boxes and made his way over to my side of the room.
The butterflies in my stomach made me want to throw up and my legs felt like they would crumble at any moment as he got close.
It was now or never. I had been talking myself into it and knew that if I didn't do this, I would definitely regret it.
"Promise you won't get too mad, OK?"
He cocked an eyebrow as I nervously asked him the question.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?"
"No, well, kinda, actually no, but," I began stammering as his expression grew more concerned.
Fuck it.
"The truth is, I really find you attractive and think that I would kill myself if I didn't do this." With that, I took the small step to close the gap between us and gave him a kiss. It was short and I stepped back almost immediately, but the slightly warm sensation seemed to linger on my lips.
I had my head down ready to face the aftermath, but my eyes drifted up to look at his expression.
He was frozen, his mouth slightly open and eyes wide in shock.
"I'm so sorry," I began as I started to backpedal further.
It seemed to snap him out of his daze, but the look of uncertainty still remained.
"No... I'm confused... surprised... its... weird? No I don't mean to say you're weird, but," he began to stammer."I don't think I'm gay?"
