This idea come to me one day in the dinning hall watch two guy, who were roommates, eat together. The thought passed through my head the two of them would be the cutest couple if they ever started going out. I then started to think what their first time as lovers would be like for them. A day later I started on this story. I hope you like it.
As he looked around the room, everything on his side seemed to be in order. Bed made, desk tidy, computer hooked-up and on-line. Yep, everything was in place. Maros sat down at his desk and clicked his media file folder. He double-clicked on a Pink Floyd album and leaned back in his chair. Maros sat and grooved, wondering when his new roommate would come in. The guy had already been here and set up all his stuff, but Maros hadnât seen anything of him.
Man, I hope this guy isnât a fucking jerk like the other two
. Since freshman year, Maros had had rotten luck with finding a good roommate. Maros shook his head and picked up his guitar. After an hour or more of playing, Maros heard the door open. He stopped and looked over at the door. There stood in the doorway a young man of twenty-two, wearing a blue coat and baseball cap. He had blue eyes and a blonde goatee neatly trimmed on a square masculine jaw.
Maros watched the guyâs well-defined brow and nose twitch as he saw Maros. Then, the young man lowered his head and mumbled a hello. Maros bobbed his head in reply and went back to his playing.
The first few weeks of school went by. Maros had been taking his meals with a few girls he knew from last year. Every so often, one would come by the room to chat and have a cigarette with him. Maros didnât mind the girls, but he felt that he had lost touch with them over the summer. So, Maros soon strayed from his female companions to spend more time with his new roommate, Jason.
Maros had found that he and Jason had much in common. They were both into science as their field of study. Both liked to unwind on the weekend with a few drinks and both enjoyed long drives in the local mountains. Soon, Maros was spending all his time with Jason. The two of them had a blast.
There was only one problem: Jason had a girlfriend. Jason had been dating this chick for a while and, frankly, Maros did not care for her. For one, she seemed to Maros a prude. Everything seemed to be dampened when she was around. Two, she was small and mousy. There is nothing worse than a person that you want to hide away in a closet somewhere.
More time passed, and the two boys found themselves inseparable. Every day, they had classes together and it was no different on the weekends when they got wasted. It was always a good time.
Soon, Maros found himself not wanting to be way from Jason. It was embarrassing that he would find himself daydreaming about the fun things they would do together when Jason came back from work or a date. Sometimes, when they were doing homework, Maros would turn to look to see how Jason was doing and would find Jason dreamily staring back at him.
Both boys would jump at being caught by the other and hurriedly go back to their work. Soon, Jason and his girlfriend called it quits. Jason never said why and Maros never asked. He was too happy to be rid of her. Now that she was gone, he and Jason could do even more fun things together.
That Friday night, Jason had gone out and come back with a bottle of vodka. Maros was elated because vodka was his favorite drink. Maros slapped Jason on the back and they both took a shot, then another and another after that. After an hour of taking shot after shot of vodka, the two of the sat in the beanbag chairs they had on their floor in silence. Jason broke the silence as he rolled his head to look over at Maros.
âHey come herrre⌠I haave sumting to teell yooou.â Maros, as best he could, rolled over on the beanbag toward Jason. Jason moved also, trying to get closer to his roommate. Soon, they were eye to eye, trying to hold their heads straight. Jason mumbled something that Maros couldnât hear.
âWhaâ te fook did âou say?â Maros stammered this out and Jason blushed. Jason shook his head to clear it a bit and started again.
âI wanted ou too knoow sumthingâŚâ
âYea⌠what?â Maros by now had propped himself on his elbow to hold himself upright. Jason blushed again and before another word could be said, he cupped the side of Marosâ face and planted his lips on Marosâ mouth.
Maros sobered up in two seconds and felt heat rush to his face. Jason had closed his eyes and was now beet red, but he never let up on his embrace. Maros felt Jason take one of his hands and Maros surprised himself when his hand clasped back. As suddenly as the kiss had started, it was over.
Maros looked at his roommate with eyes wide and mouth agape. Jason looked away, pulling his baseball cap down over his eyes. By now, both were flushed with heat and as red as it was humanly possible to be. Maros stood up and moved over to his desk. He leaned on the back of his chair and looked back at Jason, who was now looking at the floor with shame and embarrassment. Maros shook his head and laughed.
It was a little too loud and too forced to be anything but hysteria, but he didnât care, anything that would break this moment. Jason looked up at Maros, surprised and a little hurt. Maros stood upright and nodded his head.
âHey man⌠itâs late and we have had waaay too much to fucking drink. Ummmm⌠letâs go to bed.â Jason nodded.
âYeah, that is a good idea. We have had a bit too much, so getting some sleep would be good for us. So letâs go to bedâŚ.in our own beds of course.â Jason fidgeted the whole time he spoke and Maros awkwardly followed his every word.
âRight, man.., our own beds⌠like we would want to go to bed with each other.â
âYeah, as if we would want to do thatâŚâ At that, both let out a nervous laugh and moved to their respective sides of the room. They dressed for bed, not looking at each other. Jason then climbed into his loft and Maros simply had to lie down since his bed was closer to the ground than Jasonâs was. They mumbled their goodnights and went to sleep.
Maros didnât go to sleep right away. The lingering thought of the kiss danced through his head. He pushed them away and rolled over, facing Jasonâs side of the room.
