The trip got to an end, and I felt stuck again. The last thing I needed right now was to be alone again. In desperation, I decided to call up Coach again.
I wanted to feel safe and carefree because that's how I felt the last time I was at his place.
A heavy weight fell off my shoulders once I heard Coach tell me to come over. I packed some stuff and headed off. Since the trip, I've tried to think about Mike as little as possible.
Once I arrived and saw Coach Tom on his patio, a sparkle of joy and relief traveled through me. He smiled and waved at me. Coach was wearing a dark blue tracking outfit and had on slippers.
The zipper on his top couldn't stay completely closed, and you could see that he was wearing a white shirt underneath, which complimented his white socks.
His feet looked more like fins if I was being honest.
Coach greeted me with a hug and invited me inside.
"Want something to eat or drink?"
"I'm good, Coach, thanks... Ehm, where's Martha and your daughters?"
"Oh, they left for a trip to see their grandparents. I got the house for myself now. Good thing you're here now. It's not so lonely anymore."
There was that smile again. I loved seeing it.
"Well, if you're here, could you help me with something? I was unpacking the new squat rack I ordered. Wanna help set it up?"
"Of course, it would be rude not to help."
"Thanks, buddy! Let's go over to the gym room!"
We talked about all sorts of things while setting up the rack. Our workout routines, football, video games... I was surprised by how easy it was to talk to Coach. It felt like I was talking to someone my age, not a 37-year-old man.

Meanwhile, at Jessica's:
"Oh! Faster! Faster!"
Mike knelt on the bed as Jessica was standing behind him.
"Damn, Babe, you really want it today, huh?"
Jessica started to thrust her hips into Mike as hard as she could.
The insert on the strapon's inside hit her clit with every thrust.
She liked the feeling, but the psychology behind the act was much more pleasurable. She gave Mike's cheeks a hard slap.
"Oh fuck yes bro!"
"Bro?"

It took us some time till we finished setting everything up. Although it was not a huge accomplishment, I felt proud when looking at the finished squat rack. So was Coach, it seemed. His smile was even brighter than before.
"There we go! Good job bud!"
"Come on, Coach, this was nothing."
"Take some credit for your work; come on! It's nice that you helped me out."
"I guess..."
"What is that supposed to mean?!"
"I'm not nice Coach."
Coach's smile faded away. I looked away from him as a feeling of shame came over me.
"What is it?"
There was silence in the room, and I did not know what to say.
"Should I be worried?"
"No! I... I'm a bad friend Coach. I'm just a bad person."
I was staring at my feet. My whole body tensed as a shiver of pressure and sadness enveloped me. I wanted to run away and hide but had nowhere to go.
Please don't cry! Please don't cry!
"Hey. Hey! Buddy! What's wrong? You can tell me!"
I looked up at Coach, trying my hardest not to cry. That must've looked stupid.
"Tell me what's wrong!"
He grabbed my right shoulder and looked me in the eyes. He was searching for something in them.
"I, I ruined everything! Mike and I were best bros for life."
Coach started to circle his thumb against my shoulder.
"What did you do?"
"Please don't hate me, Coach. I did bad things to Mike. I called him bad things."
"What things?"
He looked a bit more serious now and scared me a little. He got me, and I would tell him everything at this point.
"What did you say to him!?"
"I... I called him a faggot..."
I couldn't look at Coach anymore; I was too ashamed. All I could hear now was him exhaling deeply. I looked up at him slowly. He had a concerned look and was still caressing my shoulder.
"Can you tell me why you called him that?"
I was scared shitless, but a more significant part of me finally needed to tell someone the truth.
"We did things guys don't do Coach... Gay things."
My heart dropped as soon as I said that. Coach, on the other hand, was softly smiling now.
"You got me worried there for a sec. Listen! There is nothing wrong with what you did. But you are right! What you called him was wrong. We need to fix that."
"I don't understand Coach."
"I know, but that will change! So you and Mike made each other feel good, right?"
I looked down at my feet for a sec again.
"Yes."
"And you both enjoyed it?"
"Y-Yes."
"So there is ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with what you did!"
"No?"
"NO! In fact. I did something like that too. More than once, actually."
He smiled mischievously and gave me a little wink.
"You liked his body, right?"
Where was this going?
I was getting even more nervous now.
"Yes, I did."
"Well, with big guys like us..."
Coach put his hands against my chest.
"...it is normal to be attracted in a way to other big guys. It's in our nature.
And it's normal to explore that... curiosity."
His hands left my chest while my heart started racing like hell.
"Nothing is wrong with you, okay?"
"Okay Coach."
"Say it!"
"Nothing is wrong with me."
"Exactly! You will tell Mike the same thing and that you don't mean what you said to him anymore, Okay?!"
"Yes sir!"
"Good!"
"Now, let's get you changed and work out those muscles! I need to show you some things."
"Oh-Okay sir!"
