I had just been dropped off at my college. I told my parents to leave me at the entrance, I didn't have much suitcases anyway. I just find it embarrassing for your family to walk you all the way to your dorm room, so I decided to do it myself. After a lot of waiting I finally got the key for my new room. I was having mixed feelings about the college life, but I was mostly excited. I could finally start my independent life away from my family. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love them, but I just dread to live on my own and have my own privacy. Well, relatively, considering I´m going to be having a roommate. But honestly, I was excited about that too. I´m excited to make new friends. Maybe I´m being way too positive about all of this, but as long as he isn't some kind of homophobic douche, everything will be ok.
After walking for what seemed like ages, I finally found my room and opened the door.
"Oh, shit you scared me..." my apparent roommate said, jump scared.
"Oh, I´m sorry."
"Haha, its ok! I´m Lucas! You must be my roommate!"
"I guess I am," I said, awkwardly. "I´m Collin, nice to meet you." I said stretching my hand.
"Nice to meet you too, Collin." Lucas said, shaking my hand. Thank god he did, otherwise would´ve been awkward.
"So, um, you just got here?"
"Yeah, kind of, was getting ready to unpack, but now that you´re here, it´s only fair you get to choose your bed."
"Oh, it´s fine, I don't mind." I said, trying to be nice.
"Are you sure? I don´t want you to think I´m being rude."
"Nah, its fine. I really don't mind."
"Sweet! Then I´ll get the left side."
With that I got to the right side of the room and we both started unpacking. Lucas seemed genuinely nice and a fun guy. He had brown curly hair, hazel brown eyes and tanned skin. He had a slim body, not so toned, but not so skinny, and around 5´7. Overall a really cute guy, not going to lie. But he wasn´t my type. I like taller guys, and well, more jacked. I´ve tried to convince myself I was vers my whole life but that wasn´t going to work. I´m totally a bottom. I had wavy dark brown hair and eyes, and about 5´5, making Lucas taller than me, which I didn't mind. We both had similar body type, but was probably on the skinnier side of the table.
But I wasn´t going to try to hook up with my roommate anyway. Besides, he didn't look gay to me. We eventually got our stuff sorted and stayed silent for a while, scrolling on our phones.
"Hey," Lucas broke the silence. "Wanna grab something to eat? I´m starving."
"Sure." I replied.
I wasn´t really that hungry, but I wanted to get to know him better. We left our room and started walking around campus. A lot of new people were arriving still, even though it was the middle of the week. My parents insisted to drop me off today so I can meet new people and explore campus without worrying about classes. Maybe they were right. I mean, Lucas didn't seem to know anybody, so if I got here on Monday he could´ve met someone else.
We eventually got to the cafeteria and he got some kind of sandwich and I just got a water.
"Are you sure you don't want anything else?"
"Yeah, I´m not very hungry."
"Cool.
"So, what´s your story?" Lucas asked me.
"What do you mean?"
"Tell me about yourself, dummy."
"Oh, haha. I um... well I´m majoring in Marketing and... don't know many people yet."
"Yeah, same." Lucas said taking a bite of his sandwich. "I was looking forward to meet you though. I mean, my roommate. You seem cool."
"Thanks!" You´re cool too."
"Thank you! I was just scared they paired me with some straight asshole."
"Oh, you´re gay?"
"Yup."
"Cool! I um... I´m gay too."
"Yeah, I know"
"You do?"
"Of course! Just look at you! No offense."
"Haha non-taken."
"You´re cute." Lucas said, looking directly at me.
"Oh... umm, t-thanks..."
"Oh I´m not into you dude, don't worry. But I can appreciate a nice face when I see it."
"Haha thanks. You´re cute too. Not into you either, though."
"Cool! Just two twinks sharing a room." He said laughing.
I laughed too.
.........................................................
We chatted for like an hour and I got more comfortable around Lucas. He was majoring in psychology, so we wouldn't be in any classes together, but we could have lunch together most of the week. We talked about childhood, school, family. I told him about my experience coming out to my parents, who thankfully where very supportive since the beginning. Apparently, his parents were supportive of him too, which was nice. We also ended up talking about our sex life and our taste in guys. Apparently, he liked white fit guys.
"Well that´s understandable."
"Haha, fuck you!
"Hey, it's getting dark soon. Wanna look around campus some more?"
"Sure. Where do you wanna go?"
He looked at me with a grin.
