I was counting down to the end of my shift, ready to get off work and go to my friend Bryce's house. We worked together at the local Lowes Hardware. I was 25 years old, openly gay (just not at work) and had a bit of a crush on him. My name is Eric. Im a little guy, just 5'5 130 lbs. I have short brown hair, hazel-green eyes and tanned skin that had a pink tinge to my cheeks. I have a decent body, though I'm not as toned as I used to be in my younger years. People still tell me I look like a college kid all the time though.
Bryce is 5'10, around 175 pounds and 21 years old. He has curly jet black hair that he kept short, light blue eyes and fair but not pale skin. He kept a 5 o clock shadow and had a great body.
Bryce was a total ladies man, he literally got hit on daily by soccer moms that would come in to buy whatever for their homes. He would tell us stories about whatever girl he was hooking up with at the time and, according to him, they were all satisfied participants in the dirty sex he enjoyed having. He didn't necessarily do it to brag as much as to entertain us when business got slow.
It was obvious our manager and some of the married gentlemen lived vicariously through his stories. But me? I lived vicariously through the various women he hooked up with. He was one of those guys that started having sex super young and got a reputation in high school for being the hottest guy in school.
To be honest, I thought he was a douchebag at first. And I'm sure he sounds like it through what I've said about him so far. But in all actuality, he was a good guy. He was always straightforward with the girls he entangled himself with, wasn't the kind to lead someone on and he wasn't a one night stand kind of guy unless the girl was. He was a bit of a mama's boy, but only in a sweet, do anything for her kind of way.
We started getting closer the more we interacted with eachother and eventually I decided I'd trust him with my secret. I was openly gay outside of work but I never came out at work, for fear of workplace discrimination. We'd both gotten off at the same time a couple weeks before and walked out together. When we got to my car, I decided to go ahead and rip the bandaid off.
"Man, I'm gonna trust you with something and if you don't like it that's fine but please keep it to yourself."
"Okay? What's up, you gay or something?" Bryce said with a smirk.
"Uh, yeah...actually I am" I said, a little defensively.
"Oh dude, I didn't mean anything by that! I kind of got the vibe from you but I didn't wanna say something and risk you like being offended or whatever! I'm totally cool with it, I've got gay relatives" he explained.
"Ah yes, the old "I can't be racist because I have black friends" logic, very nice" I said, chuckling.
"Well, I have black family too but I guess I'll keep that to myself" He said, laughing.
We ended up standing by my car for 30 minutes just chatting until he was like "Dude you busy? You wanna just go get a beer or something? We've been standing here forever!"
Of course, I told him yes and we went to a bar and grill. We had dinner and a couple drinks and ended up talking for a couple of hours. He seemed to be very curious about my being gay. That's not unusual, most non-homophobic straight guys tend to find it interesting. How did you know? Ever had a boyfriend? When did you first have sex? They tend to treat you like one of the guys, discussing things like they would talk about them with other straight guys.
"You don't act gay, the only reason I thought so is because you don't seem to get much of a kick out of my stories as the other guys."
"Act gay? Sorry, I need to go back to the university of faggotry and re-learn some things I guess" I teased him, every straight guy said something to the affect "youre not gay enough" to me so I wasnt bothered really. They don't mean anything by it but they also don't understand that it's a little insulting. "And I do enjoy your stories, I'm just not a 40 year old pervert that only has sex with his wife twice a year."
Bryce howled with laughter. He really was so easy to get along with. We ended up parting ways that night and that was when I really started to develop a little crush on him. We hadn't hung out again since, but he texted me to ask if I wanted to come over to his apartment, drink some and play some games. I told him yeah and so we had plans for that night. We both would be off work the next day so the idea was we didn't have to worry about hangovers. Besides, I didn't really drink alot. We both smoked alot of weed though. I really hoped maybe somehow we'd hook up but I didn't really expect it so I wasn't thinking about it much.
I got off work at 7pm, changed into the clothes I'd brought with me so I didn't have to drive all the way home and put his address into Google maps.
When I got to his door, I could smell the weed already. He opened the door, already a little toasted.
"Wazzuuuup" He greeted me.
We sat down on his couch, played some NBA 2K, smoked a couple blunts and drank a couple beers while talking shit about the lazier coworkers and Karen's that came into our store. Eventually, the conversation turned to one of the milfs who'd given him her phone number at work.
"Shes so hot but the lay was meh. She was kind of vanilla, I like it a little more wild than missionary...and she struggled to take my dick to be honest." Bryce told me non-chalantly. Even though he told stories all the time, he'd never mentioned anything about that.
"Oh big man huh? That was the most non-chalant brag I've ever heard."
"I mean, I'm not THAT big but apparently, most girls say it's the biggest they've ever been with. Normally, they take it pretty well but some of the real petite girls really struggle" Said Bryce.
"And no girl has ever let me try anal." He added like an afterthought. My curiosity piqued.
"Well, that's unfortunate...I've only ever had anal sex so I can't relate." We both laughed.
"Ima spark this" Bryce told me, referring to a blunt he had rolled and set aside. After he hit it a few times and passed it to me, he spoke again.
"Wait, so you're a top?"
My eyebrow raised and he explained quickly that one of his cousins has talked about it to him.
"Oh, yeah normally I top. I've only ever bottomed twice, the first time was awful but the second was nice. Most guys always want to bottom though, it's kind of annoying. I'm too damn short to be the top most of the time." It was odd for me to be so open about this kind of thing but Bryce had a way of making you feel at ease and un-judged.
Bryce laughed and a silence kind of fell over us for a minute as we smoked. I was the one to break the silence.
"I feel like I just made things weird" I said, knowing full well he's the one who had directed this conversation. I was just hoping to continue it honestly.
"Nah bro, I don't really get weirded out easily" He said with a smirk.
"I don't know man, I could definitely make things weird." I shot back. The weed gave me a bit of courage to see where this would lead.
"Okay then try me!" He dared me.
I know, it's juvenile but most of the time, first gay experiences for people are. Rarely is a straight or bicurious guy just gonna come out with their true intentions. Its "too gay", ironically enough.
