I'm sorry it's been years since my last story. But since many have asked, I've finally finished this and decided to submit it to Literotica. Both boys featured are of legal-age (18 or over). If gay sex isn't your thing, please take a pass. I'd love to hear from guys who can tell me if I well-demonstrated the physical and psychological aspects of an emerging top/bottom, dominant/submissive. All the best and happy reading!
--------------------------------------------------
It was nearing the end of my senior year of high school and one of the last big social events was the Senior Prom. Of course, being a bit socially inept, I hadn't gone to my Junior Prom and, not having dated, I hadn't taken any steps to rectify the situation. To be honest, I hadn't even thought of asking a girl to go out with me at all let alone to the Prom. Realistically, I'm not sure any would have accepted even if I did. It's not that I wasn't reasonable looking. I was just a little less than average in my mind -- you know, about 5'8", 130 pounds, brown hair, light colored eyes. You get the picture. And, I was really more of a geek and definitely NOT a jock. And then there was the sexuality issue. I just wasn't sure what mine was. Like anybody in their right mind, I wanted to be straight. While enjoying jerking off, I was otherwise totally without experience. It didn't help that access in our home to the internet was totally restricted leaving little options to "research!"
My best friend in all my mediocrity was Joey Chen. Joey's dad brought the family over when his Chinese company started manufacturing in my home town. My dad worked for the company on the production line while Joey's dad was one of the senior managers. The fact that his dad was senior to mine never really entered into my thinking. I just always liked Joey. He was about an inch taller than me at 5'9", had pitch-black hair and piercing dark eyes. He had initially been a bit shy having not learned English until his family moved to my rural, Georgia town.
Perhaps that's why we got along so well. I know most of the locals could be a bit standoffish, but I, in my untraveled mind, had always found Joey and his family to be a bit on the exotic side. And then, Joey was smart....being pushed by his family to succeed academically. He was certainly smarter than I was but never made an issue out of it, seeming to enjoy me being his American side-kick.
Because Joey's family stressed academics, Joey had not played on any team sports. Unlike me though, he probably had the innate ability and coordination necessary but since we were both not jocks by either choice or ability, it always made us feel like outsiders in terms of our school's social hierarchy.
Perhaps it was because of circumstance or fate, but Joey and I had a deep bond. Despite his being the newcomer, he always seemed to be the leader, determining what we'd do when we were together. I never really minded it nor even thought about it much. It just was the way things were for us. Perhaps that's why I guess I didn't question it when Joey announced, "We're going to the Prom!"
"How, Joey? Who are we going with?" was the first question out of my mouth. You see, given all their inherent prejudice, the local white Southern girls hadn't shown any interest in Joey at all having rebuffed any and all attempts he'd made to ask them out. And there was no way Joey would ask one of the black girls in their stead. Unlike me, at least Joey had tried. However, his own lack of experience made him seem to naΓ―ve to the local crowd.
As for me, the girls never gave me the time of day. They were simply way beyond me. I thought I was just a late bloomer but I'd soon learn that wasn't exactly the case. I could never figure it out but, if I was honest, I wasn't all that interested in them either....except that I knew I should be.
"Well," Joey said, "well simply go stag. Dad trusts me and said he'd let me drive and will arrange for a hotel room for us to use in case we get lucky."
"That will be the day," I responded, even as I noted Joey's hopeful eyes.
I had been working at a local fast-food joint on most Saturdays and had saved enough to rent a tux, buy new shoes and pay for my own ticket. At least I didn't have to pay for a date's as well as being stuck paying for her dinner and maybe a corsage!
My parents were thrilled I was going to the Prom. I wonder if that was simply wishful thinking that I wasn't gay after all. It wasn't something that was ever discussed but my lack of athleticism and interest in sports didn't always go down well with my rather blue-collar Dad. Still, Mom hoped I might have enough brains to get a scholarship to a modest college knowing there was really no place for a sensitive boy like me in my home town.
Given Joey's Dad's rather senior position with the town's major employer, my parents were always supportive when I asked if I could go with him on outings or to participate in activities. My parents certainly had no problems with him taking me to the Prom and knew we were both very unlikely to do very much given our lack of experience and the reality that neither of us belonged to the in crowds.
So after they took a few pictures of Joey and me in our tuxes and my Dad jokingly telling Joey to treat me right and protect my virtue, whatever that meant, we were off in his Dad's Mercedes to the Prom.
I really don't know why we went. The kids that ignored us before didn't miraculously change. Almost everyone else came as a couple and the others that came alone were a clump of pathetically ugly girls with zits. Joey and I quickly came to the realization that we would have far more fun simply being together than with a bunch of immature high school kids that wouldn't give us the time of day.
By 10:30 p.m., we were ensconced in the rather nice hotel room his dad had reserved for us downtown. The view was rather striking and I think we both felt better being on our own. "Man," Joey said, "My Dad said to get laid and lose my virginity before I come home and you're my only chance!"
Of course, I thought he was joking and said sarcastically, "Sure, I'll just drop my trousers and bend over for you!"
"It doesn't have to be like that," Joey responded, causing me a bit of confusion. "Look, we're going off to College soon and neither of us even knows how to kiss. If you play your cards right, this could really be good for both of us. Just play along and I'll make it right for you." I wasn't sure exactly what Joey meant, but as I more or less always did what he wanted, I soon found myself willing to cooperate.
"Hey Billy, I've got an idea! One of us could play the role of a girl so at least one of us can get some experience."
"What do you mean?" I replied. "How would we do that? How could one of us be like a girl?" I asked, rather stupidly.
