Thinking about Blair while I’m getting off with B or flirting with B… my brain makes a connection between those activities and the man standing a few feet away from me.
He hasn’t noticed me yet, having immediately opened a locker and stuffing his bag inside, yanking his shirt up over his head and tossing it in. His back is to me, showing off the masterpiece etched into his skin.
Those branches that outline his ribs wrap around to a big, hollow tree trunk taking up the lower half of his back. The trunk has words—symbols—carved into its base, but they aren’t like anything I’ve ever seen before. Above that, across both shoulder blades and trickling down his spine right above the tree trunk is an entire constellation of stars.
More than that, it looks like a night sky, with a bright—almost iridescent—crescent moon and swirls of colors that remind me of galaxy paintings. Green, pink, purple, blue. Amongst all the black and silver ink, they seem to shine.
Maybe he feels eyes on him, or maybe it’s just timing, but he turns before I can look away and there’s that sweet smile he always gives me. Soft and kind, but his eyes are tired even as he steps up and leans his shoulder on the locker next to mine.
“Hey. How’re you doing?”
I laugh away the nerves fluttering around in my stomach and turn to him, patting my abs like a food baby. “Working off that french toast from the cafeteria.”
His eyes drop from mine to follow my hand, and something uncertain passes over his face. He bites down on his lip and scrunches up his nose in that cute way he does when he’s in thought—how have I never realized the attraction here before?
He shakes his head, slowly trailing his eyes back up to my face… and I wonder if Blair is interested in men, too? He’s never mentioned one way or the other, and I don’t think I’ve ever met a girlfriend or boyfriend of his.
“Are you okay?” I ask as he scrubs a hand over his face.
“Just a… weird thought. It’s alright.”
“Gotcha. Hey, me and Shiloh are gonna grab a bite here in a bit. You wanna join?”
He smiles but dips his head. “Nah. Got tutoring to do. Just thought I’d stop in and… exercise?”
“You don’t sound sure.”
“There’s a pool here, right? Does that count?”
We both laugh, and I motion towards a set of double doors on the other side of the room.
“That way. Though, that’s not exactly swim gear.”
Blair looks down at the pair of joggers he’s wearing, and—shit, those are the clothes I lent him.
“No, it’s not.”
My brain can’t get past seeing him in my clothes. Reminding me of how I couldn’t stop staring at him that night. Bringing up images of how this would go if this was with B, if we were having one of his ‘thought experiments’.
I’d pull him to me, grip his hair, and sink my lips down on his. I’d press us together, push him against the lockers if I needed, and while his mouth was preoccupied with mine, I’d find every line on his body and trace it. I want all of his inked skin under my fingertips.
My dick twitches behind the towel, and I barely manage to hold back a gasp. Right now? Looking at Blair while he blinks up at me like he’s considering touching me as much as I want to touch him? Which is ridiculous.
I’ve never mastered the art of discreetly hiding a hard on, so I just have to hope Blair doesn’t look down and notice it filling out.
“You look good,” he says, and I don’t know why this feels so awkward. I’ve known Blair most of my life, and we’ve always been friendly, but it’s never felt awkward before. Even when I stared at his junk, he just laughed it off.
It must be me. I’m thinking of all the things B and I have talked about, and I want. It’s like nothing I’ve ever felt before.
“Thanks,” I manage to croak out as his eyes dip to my chest and his mouth parts slightly.
No. You’re just seeing the reactions you want. You’ve spent way too long suspending reality that now you’re mixing it all up.
That doesn’t stop the words that come out of my mouth.
“Are you gay?”
His eyes shoot back up, lips quirking up and the awkward air evaporating in a flash. Too bad it’s not taking my sudden arousal with it.
