Thomas had told me he was bisexual several months earlier, and I had barely thought of it since. I guess it made sense when he told me, since he only seemed to express an interest in the girls that everyone was interested in, but I decided to put it in the back of my mind so as to best keep his secret. When he invited me on a vacation to Florida with him for a week the summer before our senior year of high school, I was happy to go along. Not many days before we were due to leave, though, I was jerking off, and I got to thinking. "I'm already eighteen years old," I said to myself, "and I've never even done anything below the waist with a girl." This wasn't right - I'd had girlfriends, shouldn't I have been more experienced? Okay, sure, but when would I get my next girlfriend? This wasn't the most inspiring masturbation session, to say the least. For some reason, that night I needed something plausible. Then it hit me - what if Thomas wanted to let me fuck him? If not that, maybe something else? This kept me hard, and I kept thinking on it even after I came.
Our first few days at the beach weren't very eventful. We swam, biked around, and went kayaking. The weather was a little hot for my taste, but we had the water to cool down in, so everything was good. Then, four days into the six day trip, I was coming out of the ocean when I thought I saw Thomas staring at my bathing suit, in a spot he shouldn't have been staring. He had told me about his bisexuality, so I wasn't offended, maybe even flattered, but he looked away when he saw that I noticed. Not long after that, I was headed back into the water as he swam in on a wave. As he stood up and pulled his long brown hair away from his eyes, I decided to sneak a glance at his crotch, and make sure he saw me. I couldn't tell if he noticed or not - his face betrayed nothing this time - but I wasn't about to stand there staring at the outline of his dick for minutes at a time, so I went back to looking for waves.
We were staying on two twin beds in the same guest room of the house his family had rented for July. The main bedroom was reserved for his sister and her friend, but fortunately they'd kept out of the way for our whole stay, and the acoustics of the house were such that we could stay up and play video games or talk until four in the morning and no one else would be able to hear us. We stayed up late, and when the conversation hit a lull, I figured I'd better tell him, and see what I could get out of it. "I think I'm bisexual, too."
"Really?" he sounded tired, and not as interested as I had hoped. I hoped my timing hadn't been too bad.
"Yeah. I think so. How did you know when you were?"
"Easy," he said, but he still sounded cautious, or suspicious, or something. Suddenly I was very paranoid - what if he wasn't bi anymore, or it was an attempt for me to confess something? I had no idea why he would have done that, but this was the first time I'd spoken anything like this aloud, mostly because I hadn't thought anything about it before. "I noticed that I was checking out guys. How do you know you are?"
"I said I just thought I was. I'm not sure."
"Bullshit, Andrew. You know. You were looking at me weird today. You were thinking something."
"It's just..." I started to say, but now I was really regretted saying anything at all, but it had been almost a week since I had jerked off, and that must have made me bolder than I normally would have been. "Normally I think about girls giving me head, or something. Then one day, I thought up a guy, and realized I didn't care too much, and then thought I might actually like that." I didn't tell him he was the guy. That would still be too much.
"Yeah," he said, and now he sounded at ease. Maybe he was suspicious of me at first, too? Who else had he told? Anyone? "That happened to me, too. And then..." His voice dropped to a whisper. "And then I thought about actually giving a guy head. And I thought I would like that."
There was a long silence. Neither of us knew what to say. I thought it'd be best to make sure he knew I was merely bi, and not completely gay. "The thing is, there aren't that many hot girls at our school..."
"Man, I know. There's, like, just Carrie, Katie, and...Emily? Maybe?"
"I don't even think Katie's that hot," I said. "I usually just use the other two."
