Lets get further into exploring these straight guys dealing with a COVID and MONKEYPOX lockdown and figuring out how to use each other to solve their blue balls...
Also, this is my creative work, so you know. Don't be a dick.

Straight Roomies During Lockdown | Chapter 3
----------------------------------------
Where we left off...
"Monty, so there is going to be a next time, huh? Fuck, just saying that is making my dick get hard again, roomie!" Chase says as he leans over and play-punches me again. Then he pulls me into a hug from top to bottom.
"Chase, I know how I am going to spend the rest of my birthday money. In addition to lube, I am going to get us some toys from the adult section of Amazon. If this is going where I think it is going, I don't want it to hurt," I say with a dirty smile on my face.
"What are you going to get?" he asks with an equally sexy smile.
"You'll see!"
----------------------------
I hear a knock at the door; it must be a mail call as we just got our morning food delivery. They don't want us to answer the door right away so we are supposed to give it a full two minutes before we open the door. We have been in lockdown now for a week and a half. Things have been so easy between me and Chase.
The only fight we had was with the skinny fucker almost stole the cheesecake that came with our dinner last night. Chase and I like the same movies, we like the same shows, and since we are both taking almost the same load of classes it has just been... well comfortable, but we are getting a bit stir crazy, constantly being together. I have taken to reading to take me out of this room for a while; Chase has taken to playing video games. Anything to escape this small closet of a room.
Chase gets me, and I really get him. Man, he had a fucked up childhood that he is going to have to work through for a while. When he had his first crush on a girl, his parents terrorized him, reading him the riot act about staying pure and making sure he didn't get her pregnant and how that could ruin his life as well as his eternal life. He was fucking 11 years old, and it was completely innocent. Damn, that shit isn't right.
Last night he really opened up to me. He cried for an hour recounting all he's been through. His father is a real prick and his mom clearly hates men with every fiber of her being. They must both have their own trauma, and they take it out on Chase. It got worse for him in high school and as he started to make friends. However, the worst of it was when COVID hit and they basically locked him in his bedroom, and didn't allow any contact with his friends, and certainly not any girls. This isolation hit him hard. He couldn't really communicate with any of his friends without being under the constant watchful eye of his mother or his father. He felt so alone, so he worked out; he ran and ran. The only way they would let him out of the house was his running in their back field. The isolation scared him, and he didn't get to develop the deep friendships that you normally do in High School.
I felt so bad for this kid that he didn't have anyone close to him, anyone around to enjoy being a kid. Instead the weight of his "eternal life" was held over his head like a sword of Damocles with his parents rooting for him to fail. The fucking relished in the moment when they got to scold him for making a mistake. That is fucking wrong. I held him in my arms and just let him cry. I didn't even know what to say, but I just wanted to protect the kid, wanted him to know he had me now to watch out for him. I placed my left arm around him to hold him tight and I placed my hand on his chest and felt his heart beating so fast. My right arm was under him and holding his right hand. Slowly I could tell his racing heart was slowing down; he leaned back into me and took a huge breath,his cheek touched mine as he took another huge breath and slowly exhaled.
As he calmed down a bit and really started to relax, he asked me about what it was like growing up... and, well, it was my turn. I lost it too and started crying my eyes out. I honestly am still fucked up and I haven't come to terms with it at all. Until perhaps last night.
Chase lost his grandparents to COVID, which I know was super hard on him. I lost my best friend. Ron. Fuck, I tell Chase the entire story and for the first time confront my emotions about losing my best friend of 15 years.
Ron had been my best friend since kindergarten. That first day, some asshole kid stole something from me... I don't know what it was, but I know I was really upset about it. Ron showed up and punched the kid and gave it back to me. Ron was my hero. As we started growing up, we were inseparable. Ron wanted to play baseball, so we both joined Little League. We had a blast. The second year, they tried to separate us, and both of our dads pitched a fit pointing out how good we played together on a team. The coaches finally just gave up and we always played together on the same team from that point forward.
We convinced our parents to send us to summer camp together. Junior High was a blast because we both started wrestling and track. Ron really excelled at wrestling and I crushed it at sprinting; turns out I was a fast little fucker. I suppose I held my own in wrestling as well. We just supported each other. We were close.
We made it to high school, and freshman year, Ron insisted we try out for the football team. As he grew he started putting on a ton of muscle. Man, I wish I had his body. He was just thick. He could bench press twice as much as I ever could, just solid. I tried out with him and, with my speed and agility, they ended up putting me on the team because I could outrun almost everyone. Ron would block them, I would go long. We became heroes of our team.
We were in wrestling season when we first started hearing about COVID-19. We heard that kids didn't have to worry about it so long as we were healthy. They said we had to worry about the old people. Then, we started hearing about the cases starting to grow here in Louisiana. It was scary because it seemed at first like we heard about cases so far, far away in places like Washington State and Oregon, but then overnight it was all about right here! It wasn't long before we heard the announcement that school was going to go virtual. It would close for a few weeks and they expected us to be back in a month.
The first sign that we knew it was serious was when wrestling season was canceled.
