"Gay for a Day"
Max had just gotten off the phone with Cindy Margolis, who with very little finesse, dumped him. He had been dumped before although it had been a while. The problem was tomorrow was Halloween. The best parties of the year would be all over campus and now he didn't have a date.
Thankfully finding ladies had never been that difficult given his long blonde hair, blue eyes and washboard stomach. He reached for his little black book when there was a knock at the door.
"Hey Lance!" he smiled, "What's up? Come on in."
Lance was his roommate from last year. Six weeks into the semester his original roommate quit school and moved back home. One week later Lance took the room. Now Lance was pretty much the perfect opposite from Max. Where Max had blonde hair and blue eyes, Lance had dark hair and brown eyes. He was from Belize, had that little accent, and was handsome by any measure.
The problem was Lance was gay. And to his credit he announced as much to Max that first day hoping to avoid any issues. Max found it hard to believe that Lance played for the other team. He would have been the perfect wing man.
But none the less they had a long discussion and set down all the rules. And they had lived by those rules for the rest of the year without incident. They both saw plenty of action. Lance had his 'dates' over. They would go inside his room and have their fun. There was no PDA outside his room as set by the rules. And that same rule applied to Max and his girlfriends. Of course that didn't stop the moans and groans coming through the thin walls of the dorm. And there had been plenty of those.
The one thing they had in common was the gym. Once they discovered that, that worked out together all the time. And that bridge helped them become the best of friends. Lance moved to an apartment at the end of the year, but they had stayed in touch.
"How's it going man?" Max asked.
"Not too bad," Lance smiled. "Just six more months and I graduate. Do you believe it?"
"It just goes to show the failures of higher education," Max teased. "You got plans for tomorrow night? I love Halloween."
"Well a friend of mine throws this kick ass party every year. Everyone goes all out for this thing. The costumes are outrageous. It is by far the wildest event of the year."
"Sounds cool," Max said. He tried to picture a bunch of gay guys dressed in outrageous costumes, but who was he to judge.
"Actually...that's why I dropped by," Lance said. "I know you won't believe this, but I have been seeing this guy for a while."
Max was stunned. Lance had more lovers than anyone he had ever known. He couldn't imagine him trimming down to just one guy.
"Hell must be pretty chilly right about now..." Max teased.
"Yeah, I know. Go figure," Lance smiled. "I was going to go with Rusty, but that asshole dumped me this morning." Max could see there was more to it than Lance was letting on. "So now the biggest party of the year is tomorrow and I don't have a date."
Max could remember a time when talking about relationships with Lance would have been unheard of. But somewhere along the line that had changed.
"Bummer dude."
"Do you have plans for the big night?" Lance asked.
"No, not really. I'm pretty much in the same boat." Max grinned, "As impossible as this sounds, I got dumped too. I'm pretty sure this is a sign that the end of the world is near," he chuckled.
"Yeah, no shit," Lance laughed pulling out a joint, "but not before we get high." He lit it and passed it to Max. "So I have a favor to ask of you. I know it sounds petty, and I guess it is really, but what the fuck. I want to make Rusty jealous, as in really jealous. I want you to go to that party with me."
Max coughed up the hit he had just taken.
"Let's face it," Lance said, "you're a fucking hunk in both worlds." They bumped fists as Lance took a hit. He passed it back to Max and let the smoke out slowly. "Rusty will absolutely freak when he sees me showing up with you."
"Dude, the gay scene just doesn't do it for me. You know that. Partying with a bunch of guys...I can't see it," Max said taking a hit.
"Oh they'll be plenty of chicks there...hot chicks," Lance said taking a hit. "Your team doesn't like to dance...mine does. Chicks dig it." He let the smoke out slowly, "And since all the guys are gay...they really cut loose."
Max liked what he was hearing.
"A man could have a field day at this party...a straight man that is. He would have all those chicks to himself," Lance said taking another hit. "Chicks love a challenge. And showing a 'gay' man the error of his ways...it's like fucking catnip. They can't resist." He knew Max would like that part. "But here's the deal. You have to be gay for a day. Rusty has to see you with me. Now if you just happen to get a few numbers while he is not looking..."
"Fuck man...I don't know about this," Max said going back and forth in his mind. "What about costumes?"
"Dude...got it covered. All you got to do is show up. It would mean a lot to me," Lance said honestly. "And hey...to show you how much it means to me...I'll throw in the best blowjob you ever had."
Max thought back to all those moans and groans coming through that dorm wall. This party really meant something for Lance to offer sex.
"Dude...you know I don't play that way," Max said. "But if it means that much to you...I'll do it."
The next afternoon Max knocked on the door. "Hey brother, ready to be gay for a day?" Lance teased letting him in.
"Yeah, right," Max grinned a little uncomfortable. He followed Lance into his bedroom.
