Stephen: You know, you can stay with me if you want.
My heart leapt in excitement as I saw the text message from my brother. I had just graduated from college and got a job offer in New York, where he was living. After enjoying a much needed vacation in Florida, I had been looking for a place to rent once the job began. I had reached out to my brother, hoping he could give me some advice.
Stephen was my idol. He was 7 years older than me and definitely got the good genes from my father's side. He was athletic, charming and probably the kindest person I had ever known. When I first came out to my family 4 years ago, he was the first one to give me a hug and tell me that everything was going to be okay.
Me: Are you sure?
Stephen: Yeah. Since Lindsay isn't here, I can turn the office into a second bedroom if you're okay with it.
I was nervous. It had been a while since I had seen my brother, as I was busy in school on the other side of the country. However, this was a pretty good offer that I couldn't refuse.
Me: Sure. Let's do it.
...
I stood nervously in the baggage claim area of JFK airport, scanning the busy crowd as I tried to corral all my luggage together. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him.
He was taller than I had remembered, and bigger too. As he noticed me waving and made his way over, his smile made my heart pound.
The truth was, I had a giant crush on my older brother.
"What's up bro?" Stephen said as he embraced me in a hug. He was a little taller than me and I could feel the strength of his muscles as he held me in a warm embrace. It was really nice to see him again. He was chatty as normal, asking me what my impressions were of the city even though I hadn't even gone outside yet.
As he effortlessly grabbed a couple of my suitcases and started leading the way out, I couldn't help but feel comforted. They said New York was a lonely place, but I already felt better knowing that I had someone close to help me around. It also helped that as I walked behind him, I got a front row view of Stephen's ass in his pants. For someone who was approaching his thirties, he was still in excellent shape, as he had definitely been working out more since the last time I saw him.
As we took a cab to his apartment, he asked me if I was excited about my banking job and if there was anything else I needed to do before I stared the following week. I told him that everything was fine and shifted the conversation away from my life to his. What had he been up to? He was a real estate agent in the city, but business had been kinda rough in his firm the last year or so. They had a new leadership team and some favoritism in the firm meant that he was getting stuck with some of the harder-to-move properties. Even so, he still had a positive outlook for the quarter.
It felt good to listen to him talk. He was confident and bold, something that I had always admired about him. As he talked, I looked at his warm brown eyes, one of the few features we seemed to share. They seemed to sparkle as he chatted about his favorite restaurants in the city and the other cool places he wanted to show me.
I tried to listen, but was mesmerized by the face I hadn't seen up close in a while. Where my face struggled to even grow a few hairs, his short beard was both wild and styled at the same time, framing his handsome face. The blend of control and chaos matched his perfectly personality.
As we got to the apartment, I was surprised at how convenient a location it was. As we made our way inside, I already felt at home. There was a sizable living/dining area that merged into the kitchen at one end. I set my luggage down as Stephen gave me a tour.
"So, this is my room," He said, guiding me to one of the rooms off to the side. "And that will be yours."
I opened up the other door to reveal a smaller room. There was a small desk, a chest of drawers and a small bed.
"Sorry about the size," Stephen said as he brought my bags in. "It was originally only meant to be an office, so I could only fit a extended twin in here."
"Its fine," I reassured him. After all, I had just come from the cramped lifestyle of dorm living and even a whole room to myself was considered an upgrade. Also, as we had come up with an arrangement to split the rent, I found out that Stephen had gotten an amazing deal on an apartment like this, considering the size and location. One of the perks of being in the real estate game I guess.
"You should be okay you little twerp," Stephen said, giving my head a small push. "When I first moved into the city, I had to share a 2 bedroom with 5 people."
"Thanks," I said, giving him a smile of appreciation.
"Just remember," he added, sticking his tongue out playfully. "The walls are thin, so I'll hear you and anyone you bring over."
I rolled my eyes, "That goes both ways."
For a brief second, I saw an uncharacteristic flash of pain on Stephen's face.
"Fuck," I thought to myself. The whole reason that I had gotten this room in the first place was that my brother had broken up with his long-term girlfriend.
Broken up was putting it nicely. Lindsay had actually dumped him and as much as my brother wanted to move past the topic, I knew he was still hurt inside.
Either way, I was extremely grateful for the place to stay and was determined to be as amiable a roommate as possible.
Over the next few weeks, I started working and things got much busier. His job was more steady and he was always back at the apartment by the time I arrived, haggard from the hectic days of training. We had settled into a rhythm. I would get up earlier than him and make breakfast and coffee for us both, while he would cook or order an extra portion of food for me to eat whenever I arrived home. Even our weekends were busy as I had been consistently called into the office on Saturdays.
Despite living in such close proximity to each other, we didn't see each other often. By the time I got home late at night, he was already in his room and in bed.
However, there was one place I saw Stephen consistently.
Every night, tired from a hard day's work, I would lay in bed and close my eyes. In the darkness, I would picture Stephen. His clothes off, his muscles flexed and his cock hard and ready to fuck me. Every night I would imagine a new scenario, whether it be on the kitchen table, in a park, or even in a cab. The fact that a single wall separated me and my brother only served to turn me on even more. With no time in my busy schedule for a hookup, much less a relationship, the tantalizing fantasies of my older brother carried me to sleep nightly.
After a particularly difficult week, the project I had been working on was finishing up and the team leader called us in for a meeting. He thanked us for our hard work and told us that we were getting rewarded with an early night off and time off the following day. As ecstatic as I was, it was still 7pm and I was tired. A few of the people wanted to go out for drinks, but most of us opted out and decided to catch up on the sleep we had been missing the last few weeks.
As I headed to the apartment, I was excited for the opportunity to get a break. I couldn't wait to tell Stephen so that maybe he could show me around the city the following day as he had promised.
