Part one.
A new morning and year embrace Houmn's University with a beautiful sky.
This is the story of our boy Fred, who is new to Houmn's. He is only 21 years old and got transferred from his town because of his amazing talent and skill for football. He is a jock who loves outdoor activities and sports trips. Doesn't care much about his studies or being in a confined space. The AFSS (American Football Supreme Society) is his main goal since he was 12.
"This is only one step toward the AFSS," he thought, "just wait for me to make it happen, dad."
Fred would use all the sunrises and dusks to run around the campus. This routine let him be fully familiarized in only 3 days with the college's lands and the locations of its buildings that he needed for success, like the library for his homework or the training fields for football. Although academy studies are not part of his aptitudes, he is smart himself and is exceptionally good when it comes to conversing and treating other people. Doesn't hesitate at all, and can quickly befriend teachers and classmates to help his grades.
In just a short time, he is already the wet dream of every girl who knows him. Fred, not only is smart and has an athletic trained body because of the football and gym, but he is handsome and funny.
He is the young man everyone wants to befriend, except for one thing Fred hides from everyone. He is gay and doesn't want to come out. His family is conservative, so he never dared to come out during his high school years, as his dad and friends would probably be ashamed of him being the reason behind a lot of stress in Fred's life.
His big flaw is that every time the subject of gay people is on the air, he panics and responds aggressively about gay people, out of fear, not hate. This is the result of growing up with a conservative family in a homophobic little hometown.
***
After weeks in Houmn, Fred had already identified a good bunch of gay people. To avoid any confrontation, he always took different paths to get to the classroom and sat far away from them. His envy was mostly what made him act like that. He wasn't free to do what he desired. He was always occupied making his dad proud, and being gay was not the way to accomplish it.
It was until one day when two gays who shared one class approached him: one of them constantly wears a red jacket called Lance, and a short guy with sharp hair called Randy. Both tried to befriend him, but they put Fred on the defensive when one of them touched his shoulder in not such a friendly way.
"Get OFF me, you idiot," Fred was mad at the act
"Calm down man," Randy tried to avoid conflict and raised his hands, making the gesture for his words.
"Yeah, we just want to know you man," Lance explained, although they found Fred attractive and wanted to know if he was like them.
"Oh, you only want that, right? I know you are gay, you faggots! You only want to fuck normal people like me!" Fred raised his arms in front of him as he was ready for a fistfight. "I can take both of you, come on!"
Despite the two gays' real intentions, this situation was Fred's fault. It was fear that made him act aggressively. However, his classmates came in between before someone got hurt. They held Fred tightly so he couldn't attack Randy.
"I would want to see that, idiot," Randy was also agitated, but he was being held too.
"Calm down both of you or get out of my class!" The professor yelled, "I won't give you another chance!"
The professor's warning quieted the whole group, and the class proceeded as usual. For 1 hour, everyone behaved as if nothing happened between Fred, Randy, and Lance. When the professor finally left the classroom, Lance approached Fred, who was putting his notebook and pens inside his backpack.
"What do you want?" Fred angrily asked, "haven't you already bugged me enough?"
"You were the one who acted with aggression first. You should apologize to us, we didn't do anything to you," Lance replied. "You better be on good terms with us."
"Pff, Fuck off," the jock turned his back on Lance, only to disappear by going upstairs at the end of the hallway.
"He is not worth it man, not yet," Izaan said, "not until the boss says it" Izaan, who had just arrived, patted his friend's shoulder.
"Izaan is right, we have better things to do, he can go fuck himself," Randy was next to Izaan.
"I guess so," Lance lay on the wall and breathed deeply to calm down. He now wanted to get back at Fred for being aggressively homophobic.
Unknown to Fred and most students, Lance, and the other two guys are from a rather favored gang on the campus.
Fred went to the football fields after that conflict and drew all his anger as fuel to train the rest of the day. He was so unchecked with his movements that even the coach noticed it. His training partners were also perplexed, all of them minus Brandon, the second component of the team more valuable after Fred.

The incident stayed in the past, everything proceeded as usual, with the exception that the coach talked every day with Fred after the boy told him about the incident in the classroom, but he never revealed the real reason.
The coach was probably the only person Fred felt he could talk to about his goals. It was a way to release his anxiety without telling the truth about being gay. He only said his father had high expectations from him, and because the coach valued him so much as he was his best player, never really questioned him.
Days turned into weeks, and Fred was always training for the Quarterback position of the football team: The Unicorns. However, the position has another prospect: The Redhead Brandon, his rival in football since he got on the team. Both were almost equally good in each skill department: physical condition, discipline, and mind for maneuvers and tactic play, with the only difference being Fred's speed against Brandon's durability.
Another thing is that Fred knew Brandon was openly gay, as he had seen him kiss other men around the campus several times. This only fueled, even more, his determination to be better than his rival.
"You can't be defeated by a faggot, you would only bring shame to this family," he heard his father's words in his mind.
"No gay can be better than me in football," he thought as doing his press bench series in the gym.
Brandon, however, attempted several times to befriend Fred: offering his help to train better, giving a hand with homework, sharing ideas for the football team, or even a casual conversation, though Fred just disregarded his efforts and blew him off every time. This occasionally got on Brandon's nerves, as he found Fred fascinating and handsome, he wanted to be part of his life.
Every day, both men were challenged with diverse trials to qualify the best of them. It was until one Friday that their football coach finally announced the position of the quarterback on the boards: Fred was the chosen one. And Brandon, although disappointed about not getting the position, decided to congratulate his rival. Maybe with this, he can finally get Fred's sweet side.
After the practice, all the guys were in the shower room cabins. Fred was sitting on the bench with only a towel wrapped around his waist, showing his beautiful body with well-developed pecs and a magnificent six-pack. He was waiting patiently for his turn until being alone, as he didn't want to bathe with other men to avoid his dick having an erection in front of them.
Brandon came out of the showers, only modeling his good athletic body in a towel too, and caught Fred peeking at his body, but his rival immediately looked to the other side. Brandon smiled as he lay eyes on Fred's delicious body, focusing on his brownish nipples and his noticeable well-sized bulge under the towel.
"Hey, what's up? Most cabins are already empty, you know?" Brandon came near as he spoke.
"Hey, okay," Fred replied uninterestedly, crossing his arms to show some modesty. He turned his head to the other side, avoiding eye contact with Brandon.
"Everything good?" Brandon sat on the bench next to Fred, licking his lips as he fantasized about the taste of Fred's neck in his mind.
"Sigh," Fred, didn't see Brand's lick movement, but was still nervous and slipped half a meter on the bench to put distance between them.
"I wanted to congratulate you for having won the quarterback position. You are gifted, I must admit," Brandon said with a subtle depraved smile on his face.
"Yeah... thanks," this made Fred smile a little.
The Redhead wanted to give him a good hug to feel all the smooth skin of his rival body, but Fred immediately heavily pushed him aside.
"What's wrong with you?" Brandon was surprised, as he knew Fred wasn't friendly to him, but never expected this reaction.
"What the fuck are you doing?" Fred got up with an enraged expression on his face.
"Nothing, I just wanted to congratulate you with a hug," Brandon replied with an angry tone, still sitting on the bench with a shocked face.
