"Are those new shoes?" It was the man Tommy always noticed at the bus stop. The one who always had his tie in an immaculate double windsor, a gleaming fist of silk around his neck, sharp lapels and waistcoat, crisp French cuffs and cufflinks with gleaming patent leather shoes like angular black mirrors on his feet. Always immaculate in 3-piece suits. And today he was wearing a beautiful long camel hair coat over it all, along with his derby and umbrella.
"Yes, sir." Tommy gulped, blushing a bit. The rain spattered all over Tommy's glossy black wingtips. "I just got them yesterday."
"Well done, lad," remarked the well-dressed man.
That was always the extent of their conversations. Tommy would wait at the bus stop. He could time his watch by it, the arrival of this well-dressed passenger every morning. An inspiration. Tommy always had a thing for suits, and now that he was just out in the world--out of high school, taking a gap year before college--he was just beginning to take his wardrobe seriously. Granted, he had to keep alternating between his only two suits and multiple shirts and ties, but at least he had a second pair of shoes now.
Even though he was similarly dressed in a suit and tie, Tommy felt woefully inadequate standing next to this man. He was clearly a superior dresser and Tommy was convinced he'd never seen him wearing the same suit twice.
"You're becoming quite the dapper dresser..."
Tommy looked up from his shoes and saw the man admiring him. It was far beyond just a casual bit of admiration, the man was eyeing him up and down, pausing suggestively when his eyes landed on Tommy's crotch. Tommy was unnerved by this, but subconsciously he loved the attention from this older sartorial master. "I'd love to see you in a three-piece like me some day... I think you'd look quite dandy. Now I think it's time we properly introduced ourselves," he said as he stretched out his hand for Tommy to shake. "I'm Gerald Simmons, but since I'm much, much older than you, you can call me Mr Simmons."
Tommy took his hand. "Tommy." Mr Simmons held the shake for much longer than was customary while almost smirking... Tommy was confused. Was Mr Simmons interested in him? What was going on?
"I suppose I should call you Mr Tommy, then?"
"Uh, no sir. Tom Smith. Call me Mr Smith, uh, please."
"Mr Smith, then." Mr Simmons was still holding the handshake.
Tommy's hand quivered. He tried to squeeze his fingers to make the handshake firmer, the way his high school teachers told him that businessmen were supposed to do. He could feel the buttery soft leather of Mr Simmons' calfskin gloves, and his eyes were glued nervously to the perfect mirror shine of the older man's patent shoes, beaded with water.
Even Mr Simmons' smile felt dapper, somehow. He finally let go. "Well, Mr Smith, it's grand to see a young man like you taking his appearance seriously. Good day."
"Th--thank you, uh, sir."
And that was the first conversation Tommy ever had with the elegantly dressed Mr Simmons.
A few months passed. Every morning, Mr Simmons would show up at the bus stop in his finery. Sometimes a camel hair overcoat, or a black topcoat. Sometimes gloves and an umbrella. Always a hat, always a three-piece suit underneath, always a mighty double windsor knot at his neck, always patent lace ups shined like mirrors. Mr Simmons would nod at Tommy and smile, giving a polite greeting each day as Tommy switched back and forth between his same two suits, saving up for his next purchase.
But it was nerve racking, the way Mr Simmons seemed to suggestively leer at Tommy's groin. Always with a knowing smile on his face.
Tommy had to admit that Mr Simmons was beginning to enter his fantasies. Tommy was definitely interested in men, but this was the first time he found himself strangely attracted to a much older man. His impeccable sartorial choices definitely played a big part in it, indeed Tommy had always been drawn to powerful men in suit and tie.
Late at night, Tommy had begun imagining being seduced by Mr Simmons... he wished the older gent would just grab him by the tie and pull him into a kiss. Tommy wondered what it would feel like to be pressed against Mr Simmons, to feel his hardness pressed against his own. Even just thinking about that was enough to get Tommy rock hard, jerking and gushing ropes of warm and guilty boy cum.
It was fresh from one of these nocturnal activities that Tommy found himself once again at the bus stop with Mr Simmons. This particular morning it was pouring rain and both men huddled close under the protective awning. The bus was absurdly late for some reason and Tommy was getting increasingly anxious that he'd miss his connecting train. Mr Simmons was agitated as well, and muttered something under his breath.
Tommy checked his watch periodically... at 30 minutes past the scheduled pick up time he'd officially missed his train.
"Seems like we've been abandoned by the bus driver today, Mr Smith."
Mr Simmons saying his name was like electricity to Tommy. "Yes sir, it does."
"Well I'm officially too late for my morning meetings, so I guess I'll work from home. What about you, Mr Smith? Do you have anywhere to be?"
"I think I'll be too late for my shift, so I'll probably call in sick" said Tommy.
