Just some time ago a Kathrine ran into me in the gym with Luke. She stood us side by side that day. She saw it, she saw that I was a physical copy of him. She compared, touched and laughed.
Suggested what fun we could have with David (Lukes' partner) if we'd blindfold him, sad that there was no way she could have that fun with us now that she'd noticed. Not that Luke would have agreed anyway.
He and I even sounded the same, just different accents, one british, the other australian-ukrainian.
And then we saw it as well, only the skin, eye and hair colours, tattoos and beards were different, otherwise physically we were almost identical. We'd been friends for a year or so and we'd never noticed. We were like interracial twins.
We laughed and imagined how puzzled David would be. Even though he worked together with me, we both doubted that he had noticed the similarities, because at the same time Luke and I were so different.
But I wasn't really interested in men, yes I fucked them, but it was rather domination that did it for me and not at all that they were men. And Luke appreciated a rather conservative lifestyle, so Kaths grand plan was put to the shelf.
Luke wanted to see me one day months later, inviting me to his place. We often worked out together or just hung out, but that day seemed out of the ordinary.
We sat down in the living room of their townhouse, David was working that day and Luke served me whiskey at noon - something had to be up, he never day drinked. And we always had a reason to meet, we never 'just hung'.
"So Seb, I realise this is out of the ordinary." He said sitting across from me and I cracked a good laugh.
It was like having a real elephant in the room and he'd be pointing at it saying that there's an elephant in the room. Oh you don't say? "Did someone die? Do you need help hiding a body?" I laughed.
He laughed with me before setting his glass down and tried to make a serious face "You know I really don't appreciate the lifestyle you live." he said without a hint of his recent laugh.
"I do, but if this is an intervention, then you're not really good at it."
"No, uhm, it's just that David... he has some taste for it, fantasies and so. At one point I'm going to have to compromise."
"I really am not the one to go to for relationship advice."
"No, you definitely aren't. But Kath has a point, we could use our unmistakable similarities to toy around with David. Nothing too wild, just blindfold him and let him guess."
"You want me to fuck the man of your life? Together with you? Me?"
"Yes, that was the idea."
"You do realise that I'm straight, right? And remember who I am?"
"You fucking John every other night sounds very straight indeed."
"You know fucking well, that it's not like that and we are not talking about it."
