“There. Was that so hard?”

“Well, it’s not hard, but it’s getting there, bro.”

We laughed. The sex talk was getting me there too, honestly.

“Which do you enjoy more?” I asked.

“Holy cow, Luke. You really are desperate.”

“What? Can’t two friends talk about gay sex?”

“I guess so. I just haven’t before with this much depth.”

“Hmm. That’s kind of sad.”

“Is it?”

“I don’t know. Gay people are already non-traditional. Why should we let societal constraints limit what we’re supposed to talk about with other people and just be more open instead?”

“I...hadn’t thought of it that way. But, also, you’re super horny and that’s making you want to talk about sex. I’m afraid if you don’t talk to Cam soon, we’ll be cleaning your-” he motioned to my groin, “-off of all the equipment at some point.”

“So, I’m just going to erupt and it’s going to go straight through my shorts? Now, who’s fantasizing?”

“Ehhh.”

“What?” I asked.

“Sounds like you’re describing Declan, actually.”

“Wait. What?!”

“He’s...uh...kind of a big shooter.”

“I’m guessing you don’t mean guns.”

Ty shook his head. “It’s kind of messy. It just goes everywhere.”

My mouth hung open. I was half in shock, half incredibly aroused.

“Was that too far for Mr. I Don’t Let Societal Constraints Limit My Conversation?”

“No.” I tried to compose myself. “No, of course not.”

“Okay good. I don’t have many people to talk to about this kind of stuff. It’s weird, but kind of nice actually.”

“So, it’s like a geyser? How many spurts on average?”

“Okaaay. It was kind of nice. And now it feels weird again.” Ty blushed. “I can’t believe I told you that.”

After a few more run-throughs with Cassandra, Coach was calling us all over for a meeting.

“You guys look great out there. I’m confident we’ll be prepared for Friday. We got the team bronze in Brisbane and I know we’ll do better this time around. Just keep doing what you’re doing. We have podium training tomorrow, so we’ll be at the O2 arena instead of here.” He continued, “And also tomorrow, we have something else. This Olympics, NBC wants to do a story on Luke and Cam.”

My heart skipped a beat, and I couldn’t help but find Cam in the group. He looked just as confused as I felt.

Cassandra asked what I was feeling. “Why would they want to focus on them?”

“NBC is highlighting veterans of the games and they’re our team’s two veterans,” Coach answered.
