The drone of so many voices filled the air that it morphed into something like the hum of industrial machinery. The evening was warm, but with a bit of merciful breeze to keep the air from becoming too stagnant. That would be key later when I'd be sandwiched miserably between hundreds of bodies.
I struggled into my heavy graduation robes, hoping they wouldn't stifle the breeze too much as they became a shroud over my white dress shirt. There were dozens of graduates filtering past through the parking lot, heading for the school's football field where we'd hopefully get this over with.
I adjusted my tie uncomfortably. I'd never liked the stupid things. I preferred to wear things like soft and silky comfy clothes, something that my best friend Lee always told me was "girly." He'd always looked better in nice clothes, with his muscular frame filling out dress shirts like he was a model on the few occasions that he bothered to dress up.
But this was a rite of passage, I supposed. And besides, graduation couldn't have come soon enough. Even though I was nervous to be striking out on my own, I was excited to be done with school and get my own job. I hadn't really figured out my living situation yet, and my parents said they could only let me stay with them until the end of the summer. My dad had even insisted I start paying rent when I graduated, too. I had to find my own place, and that was easier said than done.
Before I knew it, I was worrying about it again. I squinted into the wind, gears churning in my head. Lee already had his own place, a good job, and seemed to be doing well money-wise, but I was about to be a poor, struggling graduate in comparison. Not only was he totally hot and irresistible and would have no trouble dating, he was in a good spot in life too. How was this guy always ahead of me at things?
"Honey, what's wrong?" My mother asked from the other side of the car trunk. "You look grumpy all of the sudden."
"I'm not grumpy," I griped. "Just ready to get this over with."
"You sure? You're not still worrying about this summer, are you?" She asked as she handed me my graduation cap.
I sighed. Was I that obvious? "It just popped into my head for a second. I'll be fine."
"I wish you wouldn't worry so much about it! You're smart and handsome and will have no trouble finding a job and an apartment." This was typical mom stuff, but it didn't hurt.
"I wouldn't know where to start, and besides it's not like I have a ton of friends outside of school. I'm excited to be done with school--I'm just not looking forward to this next part, okay?"
My mother put her hand to her chin the way she did when she was about to talk my dad into something. "You know, honey... you could move in with Lee."
I froze mid-way through adjusting my cap, my eyes wide in the reflection of the car window. "What?"
"He's your best friend, and he already has a place, right? Why not see if he'd be willing to share the space with you?"
My "best friend." I'm not sure that accurately described Lee anymore. Sure, we had been friends. I'd try and compete with him even though he was hotter and stronger and manlier than me. I'd always felt jealous of him, getting all sorts of thoughts mixed up when it came to wanting his body and liking his body.
Over the past two months, however, my feelings for him had gone from jealousy and competitiveness to outright burning lust and obsession. It was hard for me to lie to myself anymore about how attracted I was to that fucking asshole.
First I'd made a stupid bet and had to sit on Lee's lap and grind on him, staying weird gay stuff to him, and the next thing I knew things had gotten out of control. I'd taken a bath with him and let him spank me and cum on me. Then I'd sucked his cock in my backyard, and eventually I'd let him fuck me in the ass in my own bed. Every step of the way I was Lee's bitch, and for some reason that made me like it more.
Now I thought about sex with Lee constantly. Almost every night I jerked off to the memory of him plowing me, making me moan and whimper into his lips as his dick drove deeper and deeper into my asshole until he was shooting loads of his hot semen inside me. He was so hot. I loved the memory of sex with him.
But I was scared. I was too fucking scared to admit that I was gay and wanted Lee--to admit how I really felt about him, that I wanted to be his. That I wanted a relationship with him. That he'd become the focus of my thoughts and feelings to such a point that I couldn't see myself with anyone else. More than that, I was scared to let go of any attachment I had left to being a manly man and competing with Lee as a guy. If I became his boyfriend and started letting him rail my butt every night, I couldn't go back.
And so even though he'd been pestering to me to officially date each other, to be his boyfriend, I kept telling him I needed time to think about it. Even when he sent me pic after pic of his nude body, his muscular butt, his thick, veiny cock resting comfortably against his thick leg, as if bribing me to say yes, I told him I'd make up my mind after graduation.
I mean, yes, I masturbated to pretty much every pic I'd gotten from him, and yes he'd convinced my stupid slutty ass to take nude pics and send them back--usually of my butt in submissive poses that just made me all the more horny. Maybe he was getting to me, because I could almost feel myself weakening and wanting to beg him to make me his boyfriend. The fact that he seemed to be getting frustrated with me made me fantasize about his jaw tightening, his strong hands grabbing my body and forcing me to the ground out of repressed lust.
It was so hot that I felt my heart beat a little faster. I almost forgot that my mother was waiting for me to reply so I hastily mumbled, "Move in with him? I couldn't do that to him, mom. He has his own stuff to worry about. Besides, he has a one bedroom."
"Like that's ever stopped boys your age," my mom tittered. "You would make it work. You two are really close."
I caught her gaze, feeling myself flush slightly. It had only been a few weeks ago that she'd walked in on us having sex in my bed. I hadn't gotten any indication that she'd realized that, but it still worried me all the time. What if she got other clues and started putting the pieces together? Would she find out?
"Y-yeah, of course," I answered her. "But it would still be weird, alright?"
My mother's eyes were dark and calm. "Honey, I want you to know I'm always supportive of you. I believe in you. And I know how much you care for Lee. I think you two can make it work."
My heart beat faster still. What was she saying? Was she still talking about living together? "What do you mean?" I got out, feeling nervous now. I mean, the moment she'd walked in on us that fateful night, I had been moaning and trembling with an orgasm. Did she know?!
"I have a lot of faith in you, okay?" she answered with a smile. "I think living together will probably be easier than you think."
Fuck, what was she talking about? I couldn't tell! My mind was spinning and my face was flushed with embarrassment. Did she know about Lee fucking me? About how I felt about him? There was no way, right?
"Hey, what's the hold up?" My dad's voice suddenly broke through my reverie. "I still have to move the car!"
"Yes, yes!" My mother answered. "Okay, are you all set, honey?"
