Victor tried to compose himself as he walked. He was nervous. It'd been a long time since he last did one of these. Usually, he'd just stay in his hotel room and jerk off to some porn. But today, in addition to being bored and in need of release, he also felt a strange compulsion to live a little. He decided to reinstall Grindr. To his surprise, his old profile was still intact. His pictures from three years ago, which showed a younger and fitter version of himself, still remained. Begrudgingly, he took a new photo of his torso in a tank top, leaving out his face just like before.

He got a few hits from blank profiles, which he didn't reply to because he'd always thought those were sketchy. After a few scrolls, he decided to message "Anon Fun," who was allegedly 33 years old, and had a pic taken from their hips down. The man was wearing a pair of skimpy gym shorts that showed off his beautiful tan legs, thick thighs, and a nice bubble butt. Victor could see a bit of black hair right above the waistband of the shorts, a treasure trail that led up to what he could assume was a very toned body.

"Looking to get dicked down good and have a load dumped inside me," the profile said.

Victor didn't expect a positive response, but "Anon Fun" surprised him. Thus, he was now walking to the address he'd been given, an apartment building not far from his hotel, trying to calm his nerves. Within the last three years, he'd only had sex with one man, so he wasn't the most confident about his abilities, especially considering that "Anon Fun" seemed to be very experienced.

The door to the building opened mere seconds after he pressed the buzzer. When the elevator opened, he was met with two teenage-looking boys kissing each other. They turned to him with blushing cheeks before running out, hand in hand. Victor pushed the button for the sixth floor and sighed as the doors closed.

When the elevator opened again, Victor checked his phone before heading down the hallway. "Apartment 603. Front door is open. Bedroom is first door on the right," he'd been told. He stopped before the correct number plate and took a deep breath as he turned the handle. A single lamp beside the sofa lit up the living room and the kitchen. Victor quietly closed the door behind him.

It wasn't a huge space, but it was cozy. The furniture had a minimalistic but homey feel. A big bookcase stood next to the TV in front of the sofa. Potted plants were scattered around the apartment. There were a few big ones by the large window opposite the front door, a few small ones on some of the shelves of the bookcase, and one little cactus plant on the dining table.

To the left of the front door was the kitchen, and Victor looked to the right where there were two doors. The first one was slightly open. Victor gulped. He took off his shoes and slowly walked towards it. When he opened the door, the sight before him made his heart pound. "Anon Fun" was naked, lying on the bed with his bare ass up, pointing almost straight at Victor, while his face was pushed into a pillow.

Victor controlled his breathing as he took off his pants and underwear, dropping them onto the floor. He got on the bed, kneeling right before the beautiful ass. And beautiful it was. Plump cheeks covered with a light dusting of black hair. A hole that looked incredibly delicious. Victor stared at it with envy. He was jealous of guys his age who could still beef up and maintain their body in the gym. And by the looks of the man's muscular back, arms, and thighs, "Anon Fun" was definitely one of those enviable guys.

The man wiggled his ass in front of Victor, inviting his entrance. Victor put a finger at the opening, caressing the ring of muscle, while his other hand stroked his hard cock. The hole winked at the touch of his finger, which made Victor's boner throb. Realizing that he needed lube, Victor turned to the bedside table. But just when he was reaching over to fetch the bottle, Victor stopped, his eyes drawn to the photo next to it. There were four people in the picture: an older looking couple standing arm in arm, a handsome man and a younger, pretty woman sitting in front of them. All of whom Victor recognized, even though it'd been two decades since he last saw them.

"Wait," Victor gasped and snapped to the side, staring at the back of the man's head. "C-Caleb?"

Startled, the man lifted his head up from the pillow. Both of their eyes widened as they registered each other's faces.

"Holy shit," Caleb said. "Victor?"

Victor could not believe it. Caleb was right here in front of him. It'd been twenty years since they last saw each other. And Caleb still looked as handsome as ever. No, he looked more handsome than when he was 18. He had a fully-fledged beard now. His hair was longer and more wavy. And he certainly didn't have this body back then.

"You're... you're here," Victor stammered. "You're actually here."

"This is so fucking crazy," Caleb suddenly sprung up from the mattress. Victor's eyes instantly darted to Caleb's torso, which was just as toned as he imagined from the Grindr pic. Caleb's pecs were nicely formed, not bodybuilder-size but still bulging, and coated with a light mat of fur. His stomach was flat with a hint of abs. Victor followed the treasure trail of black hair down to Caleb's hard cock. He was admiring its upward curve and the messy bush around the shaft when he realized that Caleb was staring at him.

"Oh shit, sorry," Victor turned his attention back to Caleb's face and gave him an apologetic smile.

"It's all good," Caleb smiled back. "Not like I wasn't looking at yours too."

Victor looked down at his crotch, his cock now a semi. He turned back at Caleb and blushed. They stared at each other, and a beat passed before both of them chuckled.

"This is so weird," Victor said.

"I know, right," Caleb scratched his beard. Another silent moment passed before he continued.

"Um, so, I know we were going to... fuck," Caleb smiled shyly. "But do you wanna just hang out and catch up? I can break open a bottle of wine for us."

Victor looked at his old friend, still in disbelief that Caleb was in front of him. "Yeah, of course," he said.

"Awesome. Um, give me a moment to get dressed. Wait for me in the living room, okay?"

Caleb fumbled around his cabinets for the corkscrew. He thought he'd put it in with the utensils, but it was nowhere to be found. The bottle of red wine sat impatiently on the counter.

"Everything good?" Victor called from the sofa.

"Huh? Oh, yeah. I just can't find that damn corkscrew," Caleb answered. He checked the fridge, but of course it wasn't there. What was he thinking?

"The corkscrew? It's right here," Victor said. Caleb turned around to see him pointing at the coffee table. The corkscrew was there, lying between the TV remote and a short stack of books.

"Oh, damn," Caleb sighed and smiled. He walked over to Victor and took a seat on the sofa. Their thighs touched. They made eye contact with each other, but neither of them pulled away.

"This is fucking crazy, dude," Caleb said as he began screwing into the cork. "It's been twenty years."

"I know, twenty fucking years," Victor said. Caleb felt Victor looking at him, so he turned to the side and found exactly that. Victor's tender eyes boring into him.

"Wait, why did you say you were 33 on your profile?" Victor asked.

"It's Grindr," Caleb answered, matter-of-factly. "If you want to get dick, you have to play the game. And it's not like I can't pass for 33, right?"

"Fair enough," Victor nodded.

"So what's going on with you these days? Finally became a big-shot professor at an Ivy League?" Caleb said. He realized that he forgot the glasses, so he hurriedly ran to the kitchen.

"Ivy League, yes. Professor, no," Victor said as Caleb returned with two wine glasses in hand. "I'm an admissions officer at Cornell."

"Oh, cool," Caleb nodded and started pouring. He remembered in high school, Victor was bent on becoming a lawyer. It saddened him a bit to see that Victor didn't accomplish the dream that, from freshman all the way to senior year, Caleb had heard him plan out.

"What about you?" Victor accepted a glass from Caleb and brought it to his lips. "You didn't even go to our ten-year reunion."

"Oh, yeah. I was in Spain back then," Caleb said. "I was there to train with this doctor I met during med school, but I have my own clinic here now."

"What kind of clinic?"

"Dermatology."

"Very nice," Victor said, taking another sip. "CPR finally became a doctor."

Caleb let out a small chuckle. It was his nickname from high school. Caleb Pham Rodriguez. CPR. Everyone joked about it back then, but he never thought he'd actually end up working in the medical field.

"So you're living in New York now?" Caleb asked. Victor nodded. "What brings you all the way to Texas then?"

"Just some info sessions. I go to high schools and, you know, tell kids to apply to Cornell."

"Oh, how long are you gonna be here for?"

"Um, let's see," Victor counted with his fingers. "Today's Saturday. I got one school on Monday and another two on Tuesday, so that's... four days. Then Wednesday morning, I'll head for San Antonio."

"Right," Caleb muttered. Four days. Only four days.

Victor spoke after a second of silence. "You like men?"

Caleb's brows shot up, then scrunched together. "Uh... yeah. But I thought you already knew that."

"What? No, you never told me."

"Dude, how many times did I say I wanted to get under Liam Calloway? Our school's quarterback?"

Victor looked like a deer in headlights. "You were being serious? I thought you were joking the whole time."

Caleb laughed. "No, idiot. I guess I never told you explicitly but, come on, you really didn't know?"

"I swear I didn't. Everyone was making gay jokes back then," Victor shook his head and laughed. "This is so crazy."

"Fine, it's my fault for not actually coming out but if anything's crazy here, it's you liking men," Caleb said. "You literally had a crush on, what's her name, um, Allison... Park? Yeah, her. You liked her for basically three years."

"Two years," Victor shot him a glare. "And I still like women, okay? I just did a lot of discovering in college."

"Yeah, I bet you had a wild time," Caleb said. "What did you do? Take a shot every time you finish a twenty-page paper?"

Victor giggled as he chugged the rest of the glass. "Fuck you. I'm wild, okay?"

"Sure," Caleb nodded. "I guess you did come to fuck an anon bottom from Grindr."

"Oh," Victor sighed. "Let's not talk about that. That's the most awkward shit I've ever experienced."

"Come on, it's not awkward."

"It is."

"It's not."

"I was about to finger you, Caleb."

"And?"

They looked at each other and burst out laughing. Victor punched Caleb in the shoulder. For a split second, Caleb thought about how good it'd feel to have Victor's arm around him, or Victor's hand on top of his body.

"Oh, God," Victor slumped back onto the sofa. "I miss us."

"Yeah, me too," Caleb nodded.

"Hey," Victor looked at Caleb, his face somber. "I'm sorry I stopped calling. School was busy and I got a boyfriend and-"

"Dude, it's fine," Caleb raised his palm. "I stopped calling, too. It's just how things go."

"But," Victor looked down at the empty glass in his hand. "It's... sad. We used to be best friends and, now," he sighed. "We're just... two strangers trying to hook up."

"Trying? So you still want to...?" Caleb lifted a suggestive eyebrow.

"No, you perv," Victor grinned. "I'm just saying, it sucks how people just fall out of your life like that."

"Yeah, I know." Caleb sighed. He looked at Victor. He no longer knew much about his life anymore, but Victor still looked more or less the same. His hair was still short and messy. His dark brown eyes still looked gentle as ever. Even his stocky build didn't really change.

Caleb studied Victor's face for a while. He felt a sudden urge to go in for a kiss.

"Um," Victor said, snapping Caleb out of his thoughts. "It's late. Maybe I should... go."

"What?" Caleb's eyes shot up. "No, stay. It's barely past midnight."

"Yeah, but maybe I should turn in early. I haven't been getting the best sleep lately. Aging, am I right?" Victor set his glass onto the table.

"No, we still have so much to catch up on," Caleb said. "Come on, dude."

"We can still meet tomorrow," Victor said. "We can go out for lunch. Or dinner. Or both."

"We totally will, but," Caleb grabbed Victor's arm and looked intently into his eyes. "Please, stay."

"Caleb..."

"Stay the night. With me."

Victor seemed hesitant. Caleb noticed him glance down at his wrist where Caleb was holding and loosened his grip.

"If you're tired then we can just sleep, okay? I promise. Nothing else."

"I... I don't know... " Victor muttered.

"Please," Caleb said, softly. "I can lend you a toothbrush, a change of clothes. Just... sleep in bed next to me. That's it."

Caleb searched Victor's eye for an answer. He knew he was being pushy, and he didn't like the position he was pushing Victor into, but he also needed this. It'd been years since he last slept next to someone. Victor just had to say yes.

Finally, Caleb saw Victor's face relax. He took a sigh of relief.

Victor was on his side turned away from Caleb. He didn't know whether Caleb's back or face was behind him, but he didn't want to find out. Instead, he stared at the columns of light on the wall that cast a gentle glow in the dark of Caleb's bedroom. Their blueish color somewhat calmed him, but he couldn't sleep, which was exactly what he expected would happen if he stayed with Caleb. If he was already struggling any other day, then how would he fall asleep with his old friend, who was now unbelievably hot, on the other side of the bed?

Victor shifted his body, Caleb's t-shirt and shorts rubbing against his skin. Caleb had a slimmer build, so his clothes were a tight fit on Victor's body, but they weren't uncomfortable. They smelled faintly of flowers, though Victor didn't know what kind. He wondered if this is what Caleb smelled like now. Back in high school, all boys smelled like sweat and hormones, including Caleb and himself. But they weren't in high school anymore, which made Victor a bit sad, now that he thought about it.

Victor could hear Caleb's steady, soft breaths behind him. The thought of leaving crossed his mind. He knew Caleb was a heavy sleeper. Countless times he had barged into Caleb's room in the morning, with Caleb's parents' permission, and quite literally wrestled him off the bed so that he could drive him to school. But no, leaving would be immature. And what if Caleb wasn't such a heavy sleeper now? They were thirty-eight, and as Victor reminded himself again, he didn't know Caleb anymore.

"Victor?" he suddenly heard and turned his head around. Caleb was looking right at him.

"Woah, I thought you were asleep," Victor said.

Caleb slightly shook his head. "Can't," he said.

"Me neither," Victor rolled his body over, face to face with Caleb. Even in the gloom of the night, Caleb looked great. The soft light was casting off his cheekbones and his eyes were shining like brown crystals.

"What do you do when you can't sleep?" Caleb asked.

"Um, just try not to think about stuff, I guess."

"What stuff?"

Victor took a deep breath, then let out a sigh. "This is so embarrassing."

"I saw you choke on milk once, Victor. Straight up milk. And two hours ago you saw my asshole. We're way past that point," Caleb smirked.

Victor laughed quietly. "Fine," he said. "I was just thinking about... my past relationships."

"Tell me about them," Caleb said. Victor saw a warm sparkle in his eyes.

"Well, I had that boyfriend in college. It wasn't that serious, now that I think about it, but it lasted a year."

"He broke up with you?"

"Eh, I think we broke up with each other."

Caleb grinned. "Sure, who's next?"

"Then I met a girl in grad school. Her name was Olivia and we... got married."

"Woah," Caleb's eyes widened. "For how long?"

"Almost four years."

"Woah. Any kids?"

Victor shook his head. "Neither of us really wanted kids. I still don't."

"So what happened?"

"She was cheating towards the end of our marriage," Victor said. "It wasn't really a shock. I knew we kinda lost that spark for some time. So we divorced and I never saw her again. That was before I moved to New York for Cornell."

"Right," Caleb said. Victor noticed his eyes space out for a bit before they turned to him again.

"And then I dated this girl named Prishna for a couple months before I called it quits. Then dated this guy named Dean for almost a year before he called it quits. They weren't awful. It's just... I don't know, something felt off after a while," Victor let out a deep breath. "Then I met Reed."

"A guy?"

"Yeah. He was amazing," Victor said. "He was kind, loving, adventurous, funny. He was a photographer, mostly travel stuff, so he took me to a lot of places. It was just... fun to be with him."

"Why did you guys break up?"

"I think it was just that both of us were traveling a lot. We barely had time at home together, so..."

"I see," Caleb said. "That sucks."

"Yeah," Victor licked his lips. "I don't know. I think I haven't been in, like, a bad relationship, you know? They just don't work out in the end for one reason or another."

"Wait, how long ago did you break up with Reed?" Caleb asked.

"Just a year ago. Took me a while to get over him."

"Wow," Caleb said. "You're always the romantic kind. That never changed, huh?"

"What do you mean? I was literally about to fuck you without knowing who you are."

"But do you do that every other day like me?" Caleb raised an eyebrow.

"Every other day? Are you serious?" Victor's voice rose a pitch. At this age?

"Yeah," Caleb said. "But my point is you're the type for long-term relationships, which is nice and very... you."

"What about you?" Victor asked. "There's no way you've just been getting dicked down by random guys for the past twenty years."

Caleb snorted. "No, but... that's a story for another time. I don't really want to get into it right now."

"I respect that," Victor nodded. Caleb seemed a bit sad, but he didn't want to prod despite curiosity.

They continued to talk, face to face, inches away from each other on Caleb's bed. Victor found out that Mr. Rodriguez had passed away, which made him feel bad that he couldn't say his goodbye, for Caleb's dad was always exceedingly nice to him. Mrs. Rodriguez lived with Rosie, Caleb's sister, and her husband, Ethan, but she was actually in Vietnam for a month-long visit. Apparently, Rosie and Ethan were very happy that she was out of the house, even though they didn't mind her living with them and the kids. Victor had always liked Caleb's family and their warmth, which stood in stark contrast to his own family, most of whom he hadn't seen in years.

"Years?" Caleb asked.

"Yeah. I visit my mom sometimes, but my dad and brothers can suck it," Victor said.

"Still homophobic?"

"Don't know. Don't care," Victor scoffed.

As the night went on, the conversation took several turns. They talked about their jobs, including the funniest patients Caleb had ever met and the cringiest essays Victor had read. They talked about hobbies, where Victor boasted about his recent endeavor into baking and Caleb described his workout routine, which made Victor realize that he'd much rather stick to eating pastries. They talked about aging and joked about their impending midlife crises, which Victor planned to preemptively attack by jumping into therapy the day after his fortieth birthday.

"It's like we're on a date," Caleb suddenly said. "Getting to know each other, you know."
