It took one night for things to get weird.
The next day after our drunken gaming/fucking session I saw Ray for maybe ten minutes. He smiled, said good morning and went about his day. I didn't see him at all that night and the next morning started my workweek.
He worked the opposite shift and was gone by the time I'd get home. I'd be gone when he got back.
Four days went down this way. My last night working, I came home and noticed his truck was missing. He texted me, "Hey dude, going to the lake for the weekend. Hold down the fort!"
Ray came back the night before we went back to work, opened up a beer and handed me one, "Hey, How's things?"
I shrugged, "Doing ok, you?" If he wasn't going to bring it up, I wasn't.
Another week went by, three days this time. I went to bed after work and woke up just before Ray got home. I went to the gym, did some weights and decided to go on a run through the park.
I came to the clearing where I'd seen Ray and the two other guys a few weekends ago. The table was there, the bench was there, and a guy was there.
My memory kicked in. He was the very first guy I'd seen Ray with. A somewhat dumpy, pudgy fellow maybe 5'5", balding head, a pair of ill-fitting glasses. I nodded to him as I put a leg up and started to stretch on the table.
"Good morning." I offered.
He nodded, "Morning." I noticed he was rubbing his crotch as he sat there. I wondered what he was going to get up to.
Ray's truck was in front of the open garage when I got back. I walked in that direction to see him checking oil on his Harley, "How's it going, Ray? Going on a ride?"
"Thinking about it." He replied, "What're you up to?"
I chuckled, "Just got back from a run. Saw that first guy...the one I first saw you with a few weeks back. He was at the picnic table." He glanced at me, "looked like he was waiting for something."
He nodded, "Yeah, our buddy Gregory...he's the younger guy from the second time you checked things out. They were working it out on group chat yesterday."
"Group chat?" This was new, "What's up with that?"
He chuckled at the side of the V-Twin, "Just a thing."
As he grabbed a bit driver to look at his air filter I decided to put it out, "Hey, man. You seem to be a little preoccupied. What's up?"
He pulled the two bolts off the cleaner and looked down, then at me, "I've just been..." He sighed and looked at the floor, "...Well, I've been feeling pretty bad lately. I mean..I guess...I just want to say I'm sorry. I didn't mean for what happened to happen. You were drunk, I was drunk and that's not the way you get into an encounter or anything. You'd never done anything with guys before, and here I was basically using you. I'm sorry about that, I shouldn't have done it and I feel like a complete asshole."
I was kind of shocked. I mean, I'd figured what we did was consensual from the get-go. I had no idea he'd feel guilty about something we both enjoyed like that. His reasoning was sound, I got it, but it was unnecessary.
"Dude, if I hadn't wanted to go through with things I could have stopped it at any time. You didn't pressure me into anything. If you're feeling guilty, please, don't. I enjoyed almost every part of what we were up to." I sat down on a bag chair we had in the garage, "Hell, I was nervous that I was so bad at things you didn't even want to talk about."
He swiveled to look at me, "You say that now, but hindsight is twenty-twenty. It doesn't help my mentality that I feel like I took advantage of a drunk guy, much less my roommate and one of my best friends. It's a me thing, I screwed up." He shrugged, "I might get over it, but not too soon."
His phone was in his hand a second later with a screen up, "On another note, this is that group chat thing. We're on a gay hookup site and we just have an open thing for whenever we're in the mood. Dave...he's the guy at the park this morning...was asking two days ago if anyone was up for some fun. Gregory answered." He pointed to the bottom of the screen where there was a countdown timer currently at 20 hours, 14 minutes, "Yeah, that's the next time I'm supposed to get involved in some fun times. Looks like tomorrow afternoon at Paul's place." He looked at me, "Paul...from work...the guy who used to work out on the floor but moved to sales."
I thought around and when I realized who it was said, "Huh, I didn't know he was bisexual. I mean, how do you know, right? He just seemed very kind of..alpha, you know?"
Ray actually laughed this time, "Dude, he's not bi. He's completely 100% gay. He does the alpha thing at work to assert his dominance...you have to do that in sales. Seriously, he's completely homosexual and completely bottom. I've never seen him apply his penis to another person. Pretty much just him taking it. Taking it very well too." He turned back towards the bike, "Are you interested?"
I took a step back. He sort of winced at it as I answered, "Uh...not...no...not really just...just...well, yeah interested, but in a...casual kind of way." I stammered.
He snickered at my indecisiveness. "Just 'Casual', huh?"
"You know what I mean...purely for educational purpose." I winced at my terminology, "I mean...shit...purely academic."
He was full-on laughing now, "Oh, You'd definitely learn some things."
I went in the house after our little bit of dialogue and jumped in the shower. Ten minutes into my routine the door opened, "Hey dude, can I start cleaning up?"
"Sure" I answered. The shower took me a couple more minutes, then I stuck my head out, "Want me to leave the water on?"
"Go ahead, yeah." He was standing at the sink just finishing shaving, naked. I noticed his ass in a way I hadn't before, the fact that it wasn't as hairy as I was, smooth and muscular.
I stepped out of the shower and began towelling off. He turned while brushing his teeth to look at me.
The bathroom isn't that big. It's not tiny, mind you, but if you're next to the sink you're only a few feet from the tub. Him turning around as I was towelling off my legs put my face about a foot away from his thick, flaccid cock. I looked straight at it.
I was as close as I'd ever been and in better lighting. His head was a tan color compared to the pale of his bikini area. It was more angular, more pointed than mine...the only real comparison I had. His shaft was relatively smooth with some excess skin wrinkled just behind the glans, his circumcision scar a pinkish band surrounding it.
