Tyler is a freshman student at Creepside College. Gay and closeted, he has some troubles controlling his urges surrounded by frat guys, sexy professors, his hot brother and most importantly, his stunning straight roommate: Austin. The story is divided into 2 main parts - semester 1 (ch. 1 to ch 12) - semester 2 (ch. 13 to ch. 24).
*****************************
My First Year in College.
Chapter 23: Property of Austin.
I guess that being involved in one sex scandal is ok, but two in just one semester, that's a bit much. First, I was having sex with my Laws professor, then, I was cheating on my boyfriend with my straight roommate.
Most of the people who supported me through the Fletcher thing seemed to consider I was a sex maniac now.
To be fair, I deserved all of the crap I was getting. Steve did love me. He had always been caring and respectful and I was cheating on him. I was fully aware of what I was doing and I did not even make that much effort in hiding it.
Austin was the one I was most concerned about. I felt like he was living what I had been through a few months prior: a non-consented outing in a middle of a scandal.
The whole situation was a mess. Steve and Austin were training together three times a week for football and wrestling, they had the same friends, they were part of the same frat, lived on the same floor, they hung together a lot. And now, everybody had found out that they were both fucking the same guy.
Awkward.
I would have asked Janice for some help but she did not appreciate what I had done, and took side with Steve. Again, I understood it very much.
I would have asked my brother for some advice, but he had just learnt that I had catfished him and he was probably hating me. I would hate myself too.
I would have asked Gary, but he was gone.
And who else did I have? The rest of the football team? Even if Martin, Luis and Henry were still friendly with me, they were objectively all closer with Steve than they were with me.
I had Austin of course. But what were we supposed to do now? He seemed worried about me, at least, as much as I was worried about him.
Austin decided he did not owe anyone any explanation and we tried to focus on our finale tests, isolated from the rest of the world in our room. We did not have sex though. Or did anything of that nature. We mostly studied or discussed harmless topics like sports or manga. Until one day.
"I don't think I'm gay". Austin said to me at some point, waking me up from my boredom, reading the same line from my history class for the hundredth time.
"Ok... Who says you are?"
"Nobody. Well, there's probably a lot of people saying that I'm gay, or at least, thinking it. But I don't care. They can think whatever they want."
Surprisingly, Austin seemed way more relax about people thinking he might be gay than I ever was.
"What's the issue then?"
"There's none. I've just been thinking a lot these last couple of days and I don't think I'm gay Ty. I don't think I'm attracted to men, in general."
What was he trying to say? That he was not attracted to men, at all, or was Austin saying he was only attracted to me? A glimmer of hope passed through my mind.
"Well, Steve is bi. He is attracted to both sexes. Maybe you are too, to some extent. This is not a big deal; you don't need to label yourself." I tried to reassure him.
"I don't even think I'm bi either... But Ty... It's not that. I don't really care about defining what I am or what I may be. I'm only telling you this because I don't want you to feel like I'm using you."
"What are you talking about? Austin, I don't think that you are using me. And I don't want you to think I'm using you either!"
I was not sure the conversation was going the way I wanted it to, but at least, we had broken the ice and this talk was overdue.
Austin was now looking at me with his piercing blue eyes. This was always unsettling.
"Look Ty, you have lost your boyfriend because of me... And I thought it was important... That I should clarify. I don't think I could ever be your boyfriend."
That was it then.
He was worried I would get my hopes up. He was worried that I had messed things up with a great guy, just for a good fuck with him.
"Oh... OK..." I did not want to look disappointed or to upset him. I searched for my words and said: "You know, I'm the one worried about you. I'm fine with what happened, everyone knows that I'm gay already and I've been through much worse anyway, but you, you had to leave the wresting team (Steve had given up his place on the football team and Austin had given up his place on the wrestling team), you had to break up with... with... What was her name again?"
We both busted out laughing. Austin had had so many girlfriends the past couple of months, it was impossible to keep track. Laughing felt so good.
"Cristina." Austin said with a smile. "I will dearly miss her."
"Austin, I feel responsible for putting you in this position. I was the one proposing that you... well... I quite literally asked you to fuck me."
"Maybe we could stop apologizing and blaming ourselves, we were just having fun and we knew the risks we were taking. To be honest, a big part of the excitement for me was the forbidden and secret aspect of it. I knew what I was doing."
That hurt me a bit, what he loved most was the secret side of this whole thing, and the secret was out now. I could feel Austin slipping through my fingers.
"I don't want to label you in any way you would not want to, but you did like it when we were having sex...? Right?" I asked, genuinely wondering. I had been asking myself those questions for the previous few weeks. I guessed this was as good as a time as any to get some answers.
"Yes! That did mess up with my brain a little but I did love it. Although, to tell you the truth, I loved it until that moment when you came on to me in the bathroom..."
Ouch, that hurt some more.
"Oh god... I'm so sorry Austin, I just wanted to try, see if..."
"Please, do not apologize!" He cut me off. "Why would you not have tried? We were having sex! It's not like I was not fully involved in it. It's just that once we were done with the wig and the make-up, I felt uncomfortable."
"Don't you think the blond wig was a stupid gimmick? I mean, who were we kidding with that?"
"I'm not sure how to explain it, I'm not even sure I understand it, but I was literally curious. I had never thought of doing anything with a guy. For me, jerking off with a mate did not mean anything... But you sucked my dick and I learnt that you were gay. Later on, I understood that you were into me, I just thought "where is the harm in trying?". When you proposed to dress as a girl, I told myself, fuck yeah! Let's do this! It will be like with any other girl unless this time, it will be even kinkier! You gay guys seem to have so much fun in the sex department."
"Good Lord Austin!" I said, rolling my eyes.
