I grew up in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney. In high school I was part of a tight group of friends. There were four of us and we stuck together through a lot of crap; it wasn't easy being outside the 'in' crowd at times. We did all the usual teen boys things plus the nerdy ones, and of course sometimes there were jokes about sex and the like. Pretending to offer head for instance. I joined in with them but they did make me a little uncomfortable because I was never sure I was actually joking.
Anyway, school finished and we were set to go our different ways. Most of us weren't going too far afield but Evan was going overseas. The night before he was flying out we all went out to dinner, then we headed back to his place for a couple of drinks, just like old times. But it wasn't like old times. The other two had to go early to get ready for their own departures to unis across the state. I was going to one locally so I stayed behind to make sure he enjoyed his last night. At the time I didn't realise how much.
A few drinks in we were comfortably numb to the world. We were looking at porn on his computer for some reason I can't remember. We'd done it before but nothing ever followed, we just showed each other girls we liked or things we'd like to do to them. I never showed them the all male things I also looked at.
His computer was in his bedroom which was quite narrow so we were actually sitting on his bed. At this point I swear I had no plans or even wishes of having sex with Evan. He was my friend and I hadn't accepted that I was bi at the time. Looking back, I almost certainly did want to subconsciously. He worked out and had a great upper body and strong arms which were frequently shown off with a tight white T-shirt. And his face was cute and usually marked with patches of stubble the same light bronze as his mass of unruly hair. So in hindsight what followed next is little wonder to me.
I was still sitting up at the computer picking out links to follow and naked girls to admire. He'd fallen back on the bed and was propping himself up on his elbows, so when I looked over at him that muscular chest was even more exposed against the thin cotton of his T-shirt.
