Well, there was that.
Wait. Why am I naked? I can just keep my briefs on.
But you always sleep naked.
Just wear shorts.
“I hope it's okay I used your toothpaste. I forgot mine.”
“Totally fine.”
“See you in a bit.”
Yeah, totally fine.
“Hey.”
“Hey.”
“Can you turn the light next to you on?”
Luke leaned over to do that, so I could flick the overhead light off. “You want the ceiling fan on?”
“Either way.”
I turned the fan on too. I could feel butterflies in my stomach. I had no clue why. I’d had sleepovers before.
Because this is your first time in bed with a guy since you’ve discovered they’re bangable.
To be real, Luke was hot, but felt like a brother. I had a little kink in my system, but I didn’t think I’d ever go that far. I didn’t think Luke would either, but I had never seen him like this.
“You gonna watch me undress, bro?”
See, I could be casual.
“I’ve seen it before. I want your cuddling, not your body.”
“Oh, so we’re cuddling?” I asked, pulling my shirt off.
“I kinda figured if it was okay on the couch, it was okay in the bed.”
“Sounds like a bumper sticker.” I pulled down my shorts and kicked them towards the hamper. I checked my bulge to make sure it wasn’t obscene or anything, and readjusted my waistband. I gave myself a once over in the mirror, then turned to-
“Are you embarrassed?”
I froze. “What?”
“I don’t know. You paraded around the locker room in just your medal. I’ve seen your dick a hundred times.”
“I know! It’s just…different now.”
“How so?”
“That was all before…you know…when I was straight.”
He laughed. He actually laughed at me.
“Just because you’re turned on by Declan doesn’t change our relationship. We’re still bros. Right, bro?”
