The sound of rain hitting the windshield was the only thing breaking the silence between the two. Benni gently went over the freshly made bruise around his eye with his hand as he gazed out the window. Flashbacks from the events prior plagued his mind until Rion initiated a conversation, like he always does.
"Hey, you can turn on the radio if you want." He said.
"No, it's fine."
"At Least you won. Kinda like ending the year with a bang huh?"
"Yeah, you can say that." Benni said with a chuckle.
"You wanna just hang out at my dorm? That way we can still chill and I'll drive you home in the morning."
"For sure, now tonight won't be a total buzzkill."
"Yeah fuck parties."
Further down the road, the two made it to Rion's college and made their way to the dorm.
"My roommates are out doing shit and won't be back till tomorrow." Rion stated.
"Sweet, you got any clothes I can change to?" Benni asked, hanging his jacket over a chair.
"Yeah, just a sec...." Rion said, heading to his room.
He came back wearing flannel joggers and a white t-shirt. Rion gave Benni a similar outfit. As he changed in the bathroom, Benni had intrusive thoughts once he was completely naked.
He was bisexual and everyone in his friend group knew this, including Rion. And now it was strange being alone with another guy who knew that about him. But Rion is straight, he wouldn't mind.
Benni walked out of the bathroom all changed up only wearing the joggers and shirt Rion provided that were a little loose on him.
"I got some beers in the fridge, you wanna hop on the Zbox and just chill?" Rion asked.
As the night was still young, they played Call of War until they got buzzed and decided to just watch TV.
"You think pizza delivers this late?" Benni asked.
"It's 11:22, Pizza Castle closes at midnight I think." Rion replied. "Lemme call em."
"Get the breadsticks too."
"Wait. I can't make this call."
"Why not?"
"Sara works there...."
"So what? She's your fucking girlfriend!"
"We broke up, dude." Rion said, and Benni sat in silence for a moment.
"How long ago was it?"
"Like, two weeks ago. To be honest, the break is hitting me hard."
"I'm sorry man.... if there's any way I can help make you feel better...."
"Actually there is."
"Yeah? What is it?"
"Suck my dick." Rion said before the two burst into laughter.
"You're so stupid." Benni giggled.
"I mean, unless....." Rion said with a slight smirk.
"Nah, you're not serious."
"Go ahead." Rion said as he relaxed back into the couch.
Benni's heart stopped and so did his giggles. He felt his face burn and knew that Rion could see him which made it all worse. He always found Rion quite attractive, but he was his friend and never had
those
kind of thoughts with him until now.
Benni scooted closer to him and Rion hooked his waistband with his thumbs and slid them to his knees.
