I watched as bodies moved against each other across the screen, music playing to their little orgy. They exuded nothing but erotic attraction and passionate sex, but I knew this was nothing more than a scripted film to entertain the masses. I looked around my room and noticed everyone else's attention focused on the group of guys and girls in their little moment of heated lovemaking.
Sam and Brian were curled up together, Sam sitting between his legs as he draped his arms over her shoulders. Jake, Mitch, Melissa and Tim were all next to each other on the couch, all occasionally reaching into the bowl of potato chips sitting in Mitch's lap. I almost laughed, knowing how weird watching something like this with not only my friends but my brother as well. As for me, I was flopped into the bean bag chair that sat in the corner of my room.
As the video neared its end, I picked up the remote, pausing it as I stretched my body.
"That was hot," Sam said.
"What I tell you, it's good, right?" I said, smirking at her.
"Yep, I'm obsessed. What are fans of Sense 8 called?" She asked, to which I shrugged my shoulders. What? Did you think we were watching porn? C'mon, we're not that messed up.
"How many episodes have we binged?" Mitch asked. I looked back to the screen, seeing the episode number on Netflix as I repeated it to Mitch. "Holy shit, we've sat here for almost six hours?"
I looked down at my watch and saw that it was just past 1 a.m. on a Friday night. Okay fine, it's technically Saturday morning, but as long as I haven't gone to bed, it's still the same day.
"The curse of Netflix and binge watching. It's always 'one more episode' and next thing you know it's five episodes later," Melissa said.
"Well I think we can continue this another day," I said as I exited the app on the TV.
"I can't be the only one who thought that scene was hot right?" Sam asked, looking back at Brian. "I know you did, 'cause I could definitely feel something poking me in the back."
"Hey, TV show or not, a guy just needs a little stimulation to get aroused," Brian defended with a laugh.
"Not just guys mind you. Girls too, especially when you throw straight actors into gay situations. I swear I turned into a fangirl immediately," she said, turning back to me. "Do you know if any of them are actually gay?"
"I have no idea."
"Well then, I'll just pretend they're all straight. Nothing hotter than a straight actor comfortable with his sexuality enough to not be put off by a gay scene."
"Well then, you're gonna like a lot of guys in school then. Plenty of guys that don't mind a blow job, even though they're straight." Jake chipped in, a smirk on his face. I couldn't help but agree with him. While the school is very accepting of gays, there's just something about some form of anonymity in the community, especially when it involves straight people.
"Really? Who?" Sam pressed. Jake responded by zipping his lips. "Oh c'mon, you know what's said in this company stays between us." There were nodding agreements from everyone else as they looked between Jake and me.
Jake turned to me as if asking if he should. Like I said, we have a sort of LGBTQ+ community within ourselves, and we don't really betray that. Then again, our little squad was more than a community. We were family.
I shrugged, in effect telling him 'what the hell, go ahead'.
"Tommy Mayweather," Jake said. I smiled a little to myself. Trust Jake to choose the one guy who was pretty cool about other people knowing he occasionally sleeps with guys. Heck, the guy tells his girlfriend; they have some weird form of an open relationship. Of course, this fact wasn't known all over school to the point that this wasn't news to the other people in the room.
"Really, Tommy?" Sam said, eyes going wide and turning to me for confirmation. I gave a small smile and a nod. "Oh, my god, that's so hot."
At this, Brian raised an eyebrow. "Wait, so a straight guy doing things with another guy instantly makes him hot?"
"Yes. Yes it does,"
Brian immediately turned to me. "Dude, kiss me."
At first I thought maybe he was joking, but the way he said it, didn't point to Brian being kidding at all. Actually, scratch that, I knew he wasn't joking. I mean, I knew the guy since we were kids and he was using his completely serious face.
"What?" I asked, completely shocked at his sudden and frankly, weird question.
"Kiss me," he repeated.
"I'm not gonna kiss you," I said, giving him a look that said 'what the fuck'.
"C'mon. It's gonna make Sam love me even more," he said. I gave an incredulous look to Sam, wordlessly asking her to confirm her boyfriend's insanity.
She gave me an apologetic look in return. "He's not exactly wrong."
"Woohoo, get him gurl!" Mitch called out, causing Jake, Melissa and Tim to laugh till they were clutching their stomachs.
"You're all crazy," I rolled my eyes, crossing my arms.
"C'mon it's just a kiss. It's not like you love me," Brian said. At his words, everything went silent. I looked around and saw everyone looking at me expectantly. "Wait...you're not in love with me...right?"
"Oh, my god, no!" I shouted.
"You know, I would gladly share him if you are, right?" Sam said, a smirk on her face.
"Yeah, and I will totally try to satisfy you," Brian added.
"Shut up, both of you," I said, shuddering in my seat.
"Okay seriously, though, just kiss me then."
"Dude, stop it. Seriously," I scolded. "I'm not gonna kiss you because firstly, it's gonna be weird. Secondly, and more importantly, I don't need Sam getting all horny and you both deciding to screw in my room tonight while I sleep a few feet from you two." What I said made sense, but even I knew it wasn't the complete truth.
"Ah, la la la," Tim screamed, closing his ears trying to not hear what I just said. I just raised an eyebrow at him.
"You're totally fine about seeing another guy kiss your brother, but you can't hear about Brian and Sam fornicating?" I asked.
"Um...yes? Sam's like a big sister and I don't want to hear about her having sex," he replied.
"But you're totally cool about your biological brother having sex," I deadpanned. "You're so weird."
"While we're on the topic of hooking up, what's new with you and Jessie?" Melissa asked Tim.
"We're not hooking up, geez people," Tim shouted, before quickly quieting down. "But as for us, nothing much really. We've been talking more, and we text and everything, but I haven't actually made any move," Tim said, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Is there a reason you're procrastinating? You like her, right?"
"Yeah...but...I'm just trying to take things slow."
Turning to Sam, Melissa said, "You think little Timmy will make the wall?"
"Who knows. Maybe?" Sam replied, smirking.
