During the middle of summer, while my little brother was away at camp and my dad was on a business trip, my mother and I had connected during a period of mutual loneliness. My dad had been having an affair, and my best friend and lover, Mark, had moved back to Texas. My mother and I had a drunken night of sex, that led to a few more exploratory sessions, before we eventually agreed to end things and move on.
Now it was time for me to start college in Wisconsin, a few hours from home. I was accepted late, and on-campus housing was already filled, so I had to find a nearby apartment. There were a number of people advertising for roommates, so I called around and met Chris. He was 19 like me, but his shorter height and skinny frame made him look a few years younger. Chris seemed like a nice guy, and when we hit it off during our first meeting, he offered to let me move in.
It was an upstairs 2-bedroom apartment a few blocks for campus. Our downstairs neighbors were a group of three guys a few years older. I was lucky that there was an extra parking space where I was able to keep my beat up Chevy.
Chris was pretty shy and modest. I would never see him unless he was fully dressed. He wasn't dating anyone, and I decided not to tell him about Mark and me. I wasn't sure if he would accept the fact that I was bi, and since I really needed a place to stay, I kept quiet.
School was good, and I took a part-time job at a grocery store to help make some money. Sometimes I worked late, so I had irregular hours.
Living with Chris was getting comfortable, and I started relaxing around him. Occasionally I would walk around the house in the morning in just my boxers and a-shirt. I would catch Chris checking me out, and he would quickly look away. He wasn't really my type, but I enjoyed the attention and was a little lonely without Mark in my life.
I started showing off a little more in front of Chris. Sometimes just wearing boxers and no shirt. I was having fun catching Chris glancing at me.
One night around 10 while studying on the couch, Chris came out of his room with a full laundry basket.
"I'm going to the laundromat. See you later."
"It's pretty late. Do you want a ride?"
"No thanks, I can walk. It's not too far."
"Otherwise I was going to do some laundry tomorrow. I can drive us then."
"No, I'm busy the next few days, and I gotta get it done tonight. I'm all out of underwear", he laughed.
"Hell, I'll lend you some underwear for a few days."
"Ummm, no thanks. I can get it done tonight."
"Hey, it's not weird for me, if it's not weird for you. Just don't leave any skid marks in them."
"Well, I don't know..."
"I'll get you some and then you won't have to go tonight."
I went into my room and found three pairs of boxers for Chris, in light blue, yellow, and white with triangles and circles.
"Here you go. You need any t-shirts or anything?"
"Thanks. No, I have enough shirts. I've never worn boxers before."
"I just started wearing them last year, and I like 'em a lot."
"Yeah, I see you wear them around here."
"Well, good. Then I can see you wear them around here too. Go ahead, try them on. Let me know how you like them."
Chris went into his room and came out a few minutes later, still fully dressed.
"Yeah, they fit great. Thanks."
"Hey, I thought you were going to model them for me? Come on, you've seen me in them."
"Right here?"
"Yeah. Take off your jeans and walk around for me."
Chris quickly followed my suggestion and took off his jeans, showing the light blue boxers.
"Anything else?"
"Yeah, take off your shirt and t-shirt too."
"Ok."
Chris stripped out of his shirt and t-shirt and stood in front of me in just his boxers. He seemed to like being ordered around.
"Turn around for me."
Chris obeyed and turned in a circle.
"Very nice. Those boxers look good on you."
"Not as good as you look in yours," Chris replied quietly.
"Do you like seeing me in my underwear?"
Chris looked down and nodded. "Yes."
"Would you like to see me in my underwear now?"
"Yes, please."
I was enjoying this immensely.
I stood up and slowly took off my shirt and a-shirt. Then I slowly undid my belt and opened my jeans, letting them drop to the floor. I stood in front of Chris, wearing just my white boxers with red and blue paisley designs on them.
