The end of January in New England is not a place you want to be, especially if you're in the middle of nowhere in central Maine. The temperatures are as cold as they get, well below freezing and hovering around zero. Throw in a little wind and sleet and a few feet of snow and -- well, shit -- you could probably be convinced you were on Antarctica. The only thing missing are penguins and polar bears.
The weather can be so disagreeable during the long, cold, dark winter months that many people hibernate -- coming out of their homes only to shop for food. But, on a college campus tucked neatly away in an idyllic setting, there are many things to keep students occupied.
One of the most pleasant activities that students engage in is sex. There's nothing like being naked, nice and warm under the covers with another person, when it's too cold to go outside. And that is exactly where Aidan Simmons and Logan Temple could be found one dull, gray Sunday afternoon that winter.
They had just finished messing around -- for the second time that day -- and were now curled up together drifting in and out of consciousness.
The two roommates were spending their sophomore year together in the same dorm room they shared the previous year. However, unlike their freshman year when they got to know one another and began to fool around and experiment with their sexuality, their second year together had presented some challenges for them to overcome.
First, they had endured a painful physical assault the previous summer which had caused Logan to retreat into a hole until a couple months ago when he started seeing a counselor on campus. Then, to add insult to injury for Logan, his mother passed away over Christmas break. After a terrible argument with his father, Logan returned to college vowing never to go home again.
Thankfully, Aidan had been there to support him in his grief and decided Logan could simply move in with him and his mom in Massachusetts. The few valuable items Logan had at his house in California had been packed in a box and shipped to Aidan's address in Framingham, something they dropped off at the nearest post office on the way to the airport to fly back east to begin their spring term.
What had initially started as a fun friendship between the two boys, sharing an interest in porn and masturbation, evolved into further experimentation together and with others. Then, they fell in love and had been practically inseparable ever since.
As January transitioned into February the weather warmed just slightly, but that was the best that could be said about the situation as the days were still short, chilly and overcast. The boys grew restless and sought to sprinkle some adventure into their sexual routine.
While they were certainly exclusive together, both Logan and Aidan still had a desire to experiment and play around with others. As they came to realize and accept -- it was physical, not emotional. Alone they could take care of each other's emotional needs with love and selflessly satisfying each other in a meaningful way. Yet, on occasion the boys desired something different -- something extra to pacify their racing hormones and masculine urges for release.
One evening at dinner, as the roommates sat at a long, white table with their friends, inspiration struck Aidan when someone made a joke about a couple of guys getting busted jerking off in one of the small, private study rooms tucked away on the second floor of the library.
Logan had just gulped down a mouthful of something the cafeteria advertised as "Chef's Surprise," which looked and tasted like some cheap interpretation of chicken parmesan, when he noticed Aidan's eyes open wide and a look of enlightenment spread across his face.
Eventually, their group of friends and acquaintances wandered off as usual, leaving just Logan and Aidan behind at the table -- something Logan knew was not by accident. "Well?" he asked, looking expectedly at Aidan, waiting for him to divulge what was on his mind.
"What?" answered Aidan innocently as he put a spoonful of butterscotch pudding into his mouth.
Logan looked at his roommate skeptically. "Don't play coy. I saw the bolt of lightning hit your brain when they were talking about the two guys getting caught in the library. Now, what is it?"
Aidan laughed so hard that some of his pudding squirted out one side of his mouth. After he swallowed and wiped his mouth, Aidan continued. "Well, I was thinking..."
"Here we go," Logan interrupted, which prompted Aidan to laugh again. He looked over at his friend and love filled his heart.
My God
, Aidan thought.
He's so hot. I fucking love him
. "Ok. So, I thought since it's winter and we're all cooped up in our dorm room all the time, we should step up our game a little. Find some different places around campus to jerk off and have some fun. I know we've done this a little bit but...well...I thought we could maybe be a bit more daring and adventurous, you know?"
Logan processed what his friend was saying but couldn't help but feel slightly cynical. "I don't want to get caught like those guys did. I mean, I don't mind fooling around and all but we need to be careful."
"Yeah yeah," Aidan interjected. "Of course. But, we've only ever done it in a few places. Let's scout around all over campus -- buildings, classrooms, wherever we can. And, we need to add a bit of risk to it or it's no fun and we might as well just stay in our room and whack off."
"Uh huh," Logan said. He was deep in thought. "What about including some other people too? Make it really fun for everyone."
Pushing his finished pudding aside, Aidan's eyes lit up. "Fuck, yeah," he eagerly agreed. "That would be hot. But who?"
"Derek," Logan answered immediately. Derek was one of their friends who the boys hung out with often. All three had messed around together a few times during their freshman year and Aidan had by himself back in the fall when the two roommates were experiencing difficulties with each other.
This time Aidan stood up at the table in excitement. "Holy shit, yes!" He started picking up his things immediately to leave. "This will be great. I'm excited to start and getting more turned on by the second."
As it turned out, their first adventure happened that very evening but it was just the two of them as they couldn't locate Derek. The boys trekked out into the cold night air and trudged through the snow to make their way over to the Student Center. This was where any number of activities took place and there was an auditorium where movies were shown on Friday and Saturday nights.
Most of the people inside were freshmen and sophomores who were required to live on campus and had nowhere else to go. Logan and Aidan drifted around the building, going from room to room and looking in on different activities taking place without trying to look too suspicious. Truthfully, they were searching for a place to jerk off and had almost given up hope when Aidan pushed on the Auditorium door.
Expecting it to be locked, Aidan gave it a harder than normal push. The door flew inwards as the force caused Aidan to almost topple over onto the floor. He reached out to brace himself against the back of one of the cushiony chairs in the last aisle. "Holy shit," he exclaimed, then started giggling.
The room was dark -- the only light shining in from the hall where the boys stood. Quickly and quietly, Logan shut the doors behind them before they started making their way toward the front.
