Two friends play out a ritual during the summer of 1973.
...
Chapter One: Anticipation.
The shower turned off, causing my heart to start beating even faster. The bathroom door was about 6 feet away from the bed where I was pretending to sleep, and I saw the shadows of movement break the light at the bottom of that door.
On the other side of that door, my best friend Kenny was probably drying off, and as the steam came out from under the space at the bottom of the door I visualized what Kenny was doing.
Having already dried his long medium brown hair, I envisioned him rubbing the towel through the thick tufts of hair that sprouted out from under his arms before drying his slender, hairless chest and moving downward.
Maybe Kenny had his back to the doorway with one foot up on the edge of the tub, sliding the towel up and down his legs, starting down around his ankles and moving up his rather hairy calves to his thighs. If it were not for that door, I imagined that I would be able to see his balls dangling down in their over-sized pouch while he did this drying, his little bubble butt pale and damp.
My visualization came to an abrupt halt when I detected movement at the other side of the door, followed by the door opening and Kenny emerging from the steam-filled room. Silhouetted by the light behind him, he looked more like a rock star making an entrance through the mist than what he really was; a skinny 18 year old kid that I had known my entire life.
He came out naked with his towel in hand, just like he always did, and why wouldn't he? I was "sleeping" in the bed of the studio apartment, and after all we were both guys so there was no need for modesty.
In Kenny's case, there was much less need for modesty than it would have been for me, and I opened my nearly shut eyes a bit more to get a better view of what I had become obsessed with over the last few weeks, which was the cock that was swaying lazily in front of Kenny as he walked across the room.
On someone with my build, the long and slender penis would have seemed quite normal, but on Kenny's short and slight frame - 5'7" and maybe 125 pounds tops - his cock looked enormous. It was in its semi-turgid state right now, no doubt the result of some vigorous drying, with maybe a few of those long pulls that he gave himself from time to time.
Kenny's cock right now was just as long as it would get, somewhere in the neighborhood of 7". Certainly no less than that. When fully erect, it would not get any longer although it might gain a bit of thickness. I was rather embarrassed that I had such an encyclopedic knowledge of my best friend's genitalia, but not so humiliated as to keep me from getting an erection as I squinted.
I had seen his dick in virtually every state recently; from the modest little stem that when flaccid was no bigger than my own, to the long throbbing erection whose size had stunned me when I first saw it, and every stage in between. What had started out to be a curiosity had become a full-blown obsession.
Now, as Kenny came back into my line of vision and headed for the bathroom to turn off the light, I forced myself to keep from hyperventilating because once that light went off and the room became dark save the night light and the numerals of the clock radio, everything would change.

Chapter Two: Heavy breathing.
There was no need to keep my eyes nearly closed once the lights went out, so I was able to concentrate on trying to keep my breathing quiet and at a somewhat normal rate as Kenny walked around the bed.
I was "sleeping" on my side at the edge of the bed closest to the bathroom just like usual, so Kenny came around the other side of the queen-size bed. I sensed the covers get pulled back and then felt the mattress move as Kenny slid into the bed. What happened next would determine what kind of mood Kenny was in.
Having been in a relationship with a ball-busting virgin for the longest time, Kenny frequently arrived at my apartment that he practically called home, in a very frustrated state, his chaste girlfriend not giving him any kind of release. I figured that was why he had become somewhat of a roommate of mine since we had graduated high school, despite living with his parents in a much nicer place on the other side of town. Not because, like he claimed, that the job he had to go to the next morning was near here.
