Tonight was the night. Hal had heard about this place, it was a common spot where lonely guys went to get their needs satisfied, or at least that was the rumor. He was looking forward to checking out this spot, he even made a point to abstain from cumming for the week. His balls were full, he thought, and he was hoping to find a like-minded deviant to help drain them tonight. He just had some things he needed to take care of beforehand. The time on Hal's phone read 7:38 PM, there were some friends he had planned to hang out with, just a regular get-together, nothing special. He'd go make an appearance, have a beer to calm his nerves, and leave. "Oh, I have some classes I need to study for" he could say, which was not entirely untrue. Hal was just starting university and it was the perfect cover to leave parties early since he was, in actuality, starting to take his studies more seriously these days.
Then he decided that he would take off and go for a cruise. This was not the first time Hal was going to have a gay encounter in a car. He had done it once before, years back when he was still in high school. Hal thought of that night in the back of Mike's car, the memory still as vivid as the day it happened.

Hal stood at the corner outside his school waiting for the city bus. He noticed that the one he had planned to take must have driven off while he was still smoking a joint with some stoner buddies. Hal was having issues with his education. He was 18 years old and was going to age out of the program after this year. It was a nice night, heading closely to early summer. Not too hot during the day, and the night time maintained some of that warmth. A cool breeze could roll up and cause a shiver on the back of the neck if you weren't wearing a jacket. Hal kept his hands in the pockets of his olive drab jacket. A car rolled up ahead of him. In the driver's seat was Mike.
Mike was the same age as Hal, and had the same scholarly difficulties as him. They were told time and time again that students like them, they just get distracted easily. Mike was a cute young man with a flowing swoop in his dirty blonde hair and bright, blue eyes. Mike's face was strikingly feminine, with no hint of facial hair, and was free of any blemishes of any kind. He had a good build as well. You would not call him skinny but had a bit of muscle under a slight layer of baby fat. Mike had a sturdy look about him, Hal thought. Mike was an acquaintance from the theatre club. Mike landed a leading role in the play while Hal worked on set construction and lighting.
"You want a lift, Hal?" Mike, in his car, asked from the road. "We're in the same neighbourhood anyway!"
"Sure bro, it beats waiting for the bus," Hal said. The bus would have taken another thirty minutes to arrive, and even then, it was known to take the 'milk run'. It would go through the entire city, then finally wind up on the far side of town, where he needed to go.
The car ride through town was mostly uneventful. The radio was playing some pop music Hal didn't really know. He was still on his metal and classic rock kick. They talked about what they would be doing after graduation. Mike was going to college to study theatre. Hal had no fucking idea what was in store for the next few months. He thought he would just take the summer off, work part-time at his job pumping gas and enjoy life for a bit. The car slowed down once Mike spotted a wooded parking lot next to the start of a hiking trail in the forest.
