Frat Boys

The day was a blast and everyone was having a great time. AJ texted the group and let us know Craig was trying to get him to stop back by the event on his way home. He had put him off as long as he could – he had a busy week of planning in Olympia but wanted to hang out with us so was heading back to the river. He had yet to respond to Craig and was turning his phone off but would be back in about an hour as long as someone would let him bunk with them. Everyone let him know we would find him a warm body to cuddle tonight. He texted me directly apologizing again for the incident from this morning.

I called AJ and let him know it was not a problem and reiterated that I would gladly bottom for him if he ever decided to take the plunge. We laughed and he thanked me for being a friend. I was looking forward to 4 years together with this group of guys and we needed to influence who the other 5 pledges were. I had been a bit reluctant to agree with AJ’s request to team up with Brent and me but he was hard to refuse and at the end of the day was right about everything he said.

Just before AJ arrived, Craig, Trav and Jer cornered me and Brent away from the others asking all sorts of questions, their frustration evident and growing. Trav practically yelled – “He had the balls to tell me we were second for him behind ATOs, what the…”

AJ could be heard before being seen – “Hey pretty boy, if you have questions about me, ask me don’t badger my friends. You asked me where my head was regarding rush earlier and I answered you honestly. I have a good friend from high school that is an ATO, he and his brothers have not been so hardcore with the prospects. Let me finish – I had a great time yesterday; the use of the shower was much appreciated but this incessant pushing to get us to commit is wearing thin and honestly making the other houses look better. I understand the desire to have things wrapped up but if this is how it is going to be when you want us, how shitty will it be if you get us?”

Craig stepped in and went to smooth things over. It was clear that Trav was in a position of being a bad cop which he didn’t appear to like knowing he had been played by Craig. AJ was quick to spot it and point it out – “Craig – I appreciate the sentiment but I’m also certain that no one here from the house will do/say anything unless you have agreed – you are the rush chairman and therefore in charge. I know you are a legacy just as I am, which means that you know I have some information on the Greek system and how all this works. My brother was an AGR, one brother-in-law was an ATO and another a Phi Delt so I have a lot of chatter in my ear. All we are asking is that you put your best foot forward and we’ll do the same. Let’s have fun, create some friendships and see where we wind up.”

I stood there thinking to myself – ‘this guy is ballsy with a capital ‘B’ but definitely not wrong. They were being self-centered and a bit over the top. AJ hugged both Brent and me, telling us that he was leaving to drive the point home. He let Craig, Trav and Jer know that he was going to say goodbye to the other prospects and thank the brothers for their efforts but was going to be leaving. He walked away to where the other prospects/brothers were and began talking to the small groups that were talking and thanked the brothers for their hospitality and letting the prospects know he was heading out but wanted to connect before he left. AJ had intended to make it quick but it took him almost 45 minutes to talk to everyone.

In the meantime, Craig, Trav and Jer were trying to figure out how to get him to stay. It would have been comical if it weren’t so sad. I had enough – “Listen up you idiots – between us and AJ we have the commitment from the other 7 of your top prospects to go together as a package deal. Brent and I want to be AGRs but right now it is obvious that you have fallen to number 3 on our list. If you keep up the antics my guess is AJ will drop the house from his list altogether. Look at him over there, everyone one of the 20 prospects are all but kissing his feet and the brothers that are with them are enamored as well. Do you honestly think that if he were to walk into ATOs and said – I’m in if you give me and my friends bids they will turn him down?”

Craig started in – “Well, it is a process…”

Brent snapped – “The fuck it is. It is a popularity contest – group 1 – hot ass jocks, group 2 – hot ass smart guys, group 3 average jocks and smart guys and so on down the line. Objectively speaking AJ O’Brien is at the top of groups 1 & 2, he graduated valedictorian and was accepted at every school he applied to, including Harvard, Yale and Stanford. So, stop the games – we all know that this weekend was to get us aligned and the last event is to have the seniors come in and close. . My five brothers were/are AGRs so I get how this works, stop making this hard. Apologize before he gets in his car and let’s have some fun. I want in but I will go where the 10 of us agree to go and by the looks of it, AJ has 7 of the 10 drooling over his every word and has most of your brothers fawning all over him.”

Craig started in on brotherhood, commitment and respecting traditions and our brothers that came before. Unfortunately, AJ had overheard part of Brent’s speech and all of Craig’s. He approached Trav, putting his hand on his shoulder – “Hey Trav, I wanted to apologize for winding you up earlier. I hate to lose and I knew we could not have you performing at your best, no hard feelings?” AJ stuck his hand out and Trav shook it – “AJ, if I would have recognized you, I would have been able to deal with it but you distracted me and I fell into it.”

AJ pulled Trav into a hug and bid everyone goodnight. Craig started the marketing campaign and AJ cut him off – “Craig, I understand you have a job to do but you are overbearing and frankly, everything Brent told you is spot on – I know who has which house ranked where and AGR has fallen in stature based on the hardcourt press. I will talk to my brother and let him know I’m not likely to be in his house. Steve / Brent, we should talk about the pact and re-think it as I now understand your motivation and desire to be an AGR.”

Brent and I both responded immediately – “We are sticking with our pact. Yes, we both want AGR but we will do what is best for all 10 of us.”

I was disappointed in the behavior but knew my pledge brothers would be with me my entire college career, not these three.  “I think we are going to head home as well. Gentlemen thank you for your hospitality and you gave us a great deal to think about.”

Brent had been texting his brother a senior in the house the entire weekend. As Brent, AJ and I walked to our tent AJ apologized for causing issues. Brent was quick to say he was disappointed in the behavior but his brother Chad had told him Craig was a wild card, he was surprised he was named rush chair and had asked Brent to let him know how things went because the seniors were concerned about his brash approach and sometimes hot head.

The other prospects were right behind us arriving at the tent as they did not want AJ to leave. It was interesting watching the other 17 guys get pulled into AJ’s orbit, you would have thought he was a rock star, not a recent high school graduate. AJ said his final goodbyes and was two steps away from the group when Craig appeared – “AJ please stay. I want to apologize for my brash approach – I want this rush to be the best in our house’s history and I got ahead of myself. I will guarantee you that I will back off and we can just have fun if you agree to stay and enjoy the rest of the weekend.”

The conversation drifted toward AJ’s car Craig made progress because he returned to the tents and agreed to stay. He still needed a place to sleep and I was hesitant to offer up our tent given what happened that morning. I wasn’t complaining – I got my dick wet and a dick in my ass and woke up next to two freaking hot guys. What more can a gay boy hope for, that said I knew AJ was wigged out about it. I did let him know that we would be happy to have him with us again but understood if he was too wound up about ‘the incident’. AJ laughed and thanked us but would be bunking with Todd – a close friend of his family. Todd was another good-looking, athletic jock type and he seemed to be somewhere in the middle of the Kinsey scale.

We all sat around the campfire, drinking beer and shooting the shit until well after midnight. It was a great night and very enlightening – we played ‘never have I’. It was clear that there were more people in the 2 – 4 categories than in the 0 or 6 on the Kinsey scale. This could be an exceptionally good college experience. Of the 8 key pledges, no one professed to be a 0 and admitted they had either thought about it or done something with another guy. It’s nice growing up in the 2000s, more people are willing to admit and explore their sexuality.

The most intriguing question of the night was – ‘never have I ever had carnal knowledge of anyone around this fire’. At the time of this question the top 8, were there and 4 of the other prospects along with 10 brothers. After a bit of clarification of the question – only 5 could state emphatically they did not have carnal knowledge of someone around the fire. AJ’s cheeks turned bright red thinking about this morning. I nudged him light-heartedly. Interesting times ahead, indeed.

After we all retired – Brent and I were so horny we fucked like rabbits – Brent was lying on his back with his legs wrapped around my waist. I drove my cock in and out of his hot tight hole over and over adjusting my angle to abuse his prostate. Because I was laying on him the pressure from my abdomen combined with the constant punishment of his prostate, he blew a huge load between us while biting down on my neck. That little bit of pain sent me over the edge and I filled his ass up. I continued to lie on him, kissing his nipples, his neck his ears and his lips until we were both breathing normally again. Brent loved to be the little spoon most of the time but tonight he rolled me away from him and slid in behind me, his cum was now on my abdomen and my ass – I’m going to need a long shower.

We talked about the revelations of the evening and tried to piece the partners together but came up short in several areas. But decided it would be awesome to find out who was who in the zoo. I grabbed Brent’s cock and squeezed it between my thighs, we both drifted off to sleep and slept like logs. I woke up with Brent’s cock in my ass – as I said before bottoming was not my normal position but I like to occasionally get that itch scratched Brent did quite nicely just like this morning.  He was sawing in and out and at a decent pace, when he felt me stir, he got more aggressive and rolled me over on my stomach and began to pound away at my prostate. He fucked two loads out of my balls by the time he filled me up. Fuck that was nice.

When we crawled out of the tent there were six pairs of eyes staring at us – Jeff, Seth, Kyle, Brady, Todd and AJ all sat in a semicircle waiting for us to emerge. Seth was pretty direct – “So are you two a couple or just fuck buddies?”

I was floored with the directness, I looked at Brent who nonchalantly replied – “Seth if you were interested all you had to do was ask.” He continued to the shower block where he disappeared into the building. I followed on but overheard

AJ – “I told you to be direct but I thought you were going to ask if you could join them next time or something, serves you right for being coy.”

When I got to the shower block, I found Brent getting cleaned up and laughing his ass off. That was priceless. We’ll see how this goes moving forward but they obviously know we are gay. I relayed that AJ had chastised Seth for beating around the bush, he wants to join us in the future. We discussed all of the top candidates and felt really good about them all but felt like AJ was going to be an awesome pledge brother and lifelong friend.

We wrapped up our showers and got dressed. Seth was waiting for us when we arrived back at the tent. He apologized for beating around the bush, he told us AJ had let him have it. Seth found Brent extremely hot and wanted to know if he would consider seeing where things could go when we all get to WSU or at least be a friend with benefits.

Breakfast was pretty awesome and we were all soon on the river to ski. Travis wanted to try and beat AJ on a slalom run and see how fast they could take the course. AJ passed which annoyed Travis – “Pretty boy, I whooped your ass yesterday and at every competition, we have ever been at together, what makes you think you can beat me today?”

It was becoming obvious that Travis was into our boy AJ. He professed to be straight but had carnal knowledge of someone around the fire last night and he was always staring at AJ with a look of lust in his eyes. Jer was right at Trav’s shoulder – his feelings about AJ were harder to read but it was clear he was into Trav in a big way. Gaawwdd I love “straight” boys that are open to hooking up once in a while.

The day was great, Craig melted into the background and let the Sophomores take point. The day was spent on the water, the shore and just getting to know each other better. The brothers were a great group of people. Around 11 AM a group of older brothers showed up and headed straight for Craig. One of them was Brent’s older brother Chad, two others appeared to also be older brothers and alumni. Before I could ask Brent pulled me aside – “Chad, Marcus & Joe are here with the house president and pledge trainer. I can’t remember their names. It looks like the frustration boiled over from the upperclassmen. It will be interesting to see how today shakes out but it is clear that the leadership of the fraternity is not up for the antics with the house’s top 10 prospects in the balance. It also appears AJ made it clear to his brother JT that he was not interested in AGR.”

The conversation was short and to the point. Craig quietly packed his stuff and was headed to his car when AJ stopped him. The conversation started with Craig gesticulating wildly with his hands and appeared to be yelling at AJ. The leadership guys headed in that direction but it appeared AJ had waved them off. AJ stood still listening intently to Craig. By the end of his diatribe, he was much calmer and it now looked like AJ was winding up to take his turn. There were several points where Craig would look at the sand instead of AJ, when that happened AJ would stop talking until Craig would look at him. After 20 minutes Craig and AJ hugged, Craig, picked up his bag and tried to head to his car. AJ grabbed the bag and would not let go. He pulled Craig along with him over to a point and waived the leadership guys – Tim, Kevin and Chad over.

That group talked for 15 minutes with Craig saying barely a word but it was clear AJ was making the case for Craig to remain there and continue as the Rush Chair. When all the talking was done Craig remained with all of us for the rest of the day. The seniors also stayed to keep an eye on things. It was clear AJ should be our pledge class president but it was not clear whether he would or not given his other commitment. It’s too bad he did not run for state office his junior year of high school, he would have been a great addition to our group and bumped the only lame person from the slate of officers.

The weekend wrapped up on a high note and we all headed back for our last summer before college. I got a call from Brent telling me that AJ had to promise to keep AGR on the shortlist if Craig was allowed to stay. I immediately conferenced AJ in – “Wow that took you two long enough to call me. I should have tried harder to get you two alone but I didn’t want more drama today. It was clear to me that Craig was being forced out because I pushed things too far. I also know in my heart you two want to be in the house. I’ll be honest I don’t like Craig and it will be a painful 2 years around him but the two of you mean more to me than any issues that he may bring to the table.”

We attended the remaining AGR, ATO and Phi Delt summer events. It was clear to all 10 of us that it was between AGR and ATO. We all agreed to keep an open mind and the night before bid day we would take a walk and do a secret vote on which house to be at first thing on bid day. It would up be a 5/5 tie on the first vote and wound up being a 6/4 split on the second vote. We talked through the pros and cons of each house and voted again. It was 9/0 on the final vote. AJ announced the count and said he would go along with the group’s decision. To this day I have no idea if he was one of the votes for ATO or not, he has never said but my guess is he was ATO all the way but his commitment to our brotherhood outweighed his desires. He was/is our brother for life.

All 10 of us were at the AGR house an hour after bid day started. Our phones were lighting up from both houses but we needed a bit of time together before making the commitment official. When we walked through the doors of the house, we were immediately walked to the chapter room where the full leadership team offered us bids. We all accepted in unison, AJ stepped away from the group and disappeared for an hour. We later found out that he had gone next door and talked to their leadership team and thanked them for their recruitment. Let them know it was a very tough decision and that we were all looking forward to growing our friendships. It cemented a good relationship between the two houses for the four years we attended WSU and it carried on well beyond that time.

When all the bids were given and accepted, AGR had 15 new pledges and only had to go down to number 16 on the list. The core group of 10 had influenced 13 of the 15 pledge brothers and the final 2 were not well known to the group but would soon be great additions to the pledge class.

Tonight, it was all about getting to know each other and pitting the freshman against the seniors in various contests – physical and mental. They all devolved into drinking games and culminated in a chugging contest. What was funny about the whole thing is it wound up being one freshman and one senior standing. The kicker was that AJ won the whole thing – he was not a big drinker but evidently, his Irish roots made him perfect for putting away alcohol and remaining functional. The seniors and freshman all made their way to bed while the sophomores and juniors stayed up partying. AJ joined that group as he was loose but not intoxicated.

The next morning AJ was waking us all up to help clean the house. He was so fucking annoying it was ridiculous. Most of the girlfriends of the sophomore and junior classes came over along with some of their sisters and pledges. AJ would not shut up about this stunning blonde goddess, he insisted that they would get married and have many babies together. Trav and Jer were poking fun at AJ and how gaga he was for Sydney; he was nuts for this girl. It turned out that Sydney was in Jer’s girlfriend’s house and Cyn’s little sister in the house, she came over with some other girls. AJ was quick to point out that Trav had been following Jules around like a lost little puppy but was getting no traction at all.

The two houses were having a party on Saturday night here at the house. The last one before our first classes the following Monday. When the ladies of Kappa showed up, AJ was all smiles until he could not find Sydney. He became a sullen ass; he was moping around and had finally decided to go upstairs and hide out in his room. As he headed through to the stairs, in came this drop-dead gorgeous woman and our boy AJ went from sullen ass to the most charming man I have ever seen. It was clear AJ was in lust with this woman. She seemed totally indifferent, it was clear to me and Brent that she was not into a mere freshman, no matter how good-looking he was.

We spent a great deal of time dancing and getting to know the sisters of Kappa. There were a few of the girls that we all knew from our high school days. The celebration went on into the wee hours of the next morning. As we all trudged up to bed, AJ was walking in the front door looking like the cat that ate the canary. It was clear he had a good night – Seth asked him if he found another girl to hit on as the bombshell had shut him down hard.

AJ smiled and started climbing the stairs with all of us in tow. When he got to the second floor, we surrounded him and would not let him go any further until he spilled the beans. He was tight-lipped. The door opened and in walked Trav and Jer who asked AJ how his night with Sydney was? He just smiled and slipped out to his room.

We all surrounded Jer and Trav to get information about Syd and AJ. By the end of the conversation, it was clear that AJ had game, a lot of it. He had won his way into at least a date with the bombshell known as Sydney. In retrospect it makes sense that he would wind up with someone beautiful, he was the male equivalent.

Everyone made their way to bed as 7 AM clean-up would come very early for all of us. The rest of the weekend was spent relaxing as classes started on Monday. Our first pledge class meeting was set for Monday night. We would be electing officers that would represent us with the brothers in the house. Most everyone was campaigning for a position as an officer – VP, Secretary, Treasurer, etc. No one was campaigning for the Presidents spot; we all knew who that would be – AJ. What no one expected was he was totally uninterested and refused to be an officer.

He was very mattered of fact about it – I have my State Office commitment through next June and I don’t have time to take anything else on. We were all shocked and didn’t know what to do. AJ nominated me for the role, I didn’t want it either but, in the end, I agreed as long as AJ would be my counsel.

The next few weeks were amazing for us in the house. We all got along well and became a tight-knit group of guys that would spend a great deal of time together in the coming years. Our first week of classes was interesting, it certainly wasn’t like high school we all had homework and upcoming quizzes. This was going to be taxing, to say the least.

Thursday night we were all studying in the library when AJ walked in the door all dressed up in his official attire representing the state. I’ll admit I popped a boner when he walked in, his pants were just tight enough to highlight that exquisite ass and if you looked closely enough you could see his huge cock. AJ busted me – “Stevie – you keep staring at it and I’ll bet you will pop wood.” All my pledge brothers grabbed me, pulled out of my seat and unceremoniously dumped me on the table. I was indeed hard as a rock so I owned it – “Ok you all know I’m gay so why would anyone be surprised that his fine ass, gorgeous face and thick thighs would not get this gay boy hot and bothered. By the way, I know you all have checked his naked ass out in the shower. Unless you are going to blow me, let me up you perverts.”

AJ was full-on laughing at me – “Stevie, I love you man. You are more like me than you will admit – you are who you are and are unashamed about it. You own you and are a GREAT friend.”

I was a little bit surprised AJ was that open with his feelings. I sensed something had happened to him at some point in his life that made him guarded and fearful of hurting people but he was such a GREAT guy my intuition must be off. “AJ, you brought us all together this summer on the river. You had the balls to stand up to Craig and then again with the leadership team. Without you, we would not all be together so being your friend is easy peasy.”

AJ laughed at me again, leaned in and whispered in my ear – ‘Stevie is easy peasy but oh so tight…’ he was off and heading upstairs leaving me sitting there with my mouth hanging open. Brent asked me what AJ had said so I shared it with him and he busted a gut. When he calmed down enough to speak – “He is the only person you have not torn a new asshole for calling you Stevie, what gives?”

I thought about it for a minute and realized that when AJ called me Stevie he wasn’t being demeaning, he was doing it to show his affection for me – “I guess it is because it is AJ and he brings out my inner peace about who I am. No judgment, just love and understanding.” Brady shoved my shoulder – “You are so gay, you wanna get naked and see whether we can bust a nut or two?”

You could have knocked me over with a feather. Brady was one of the guys I had lusted after right alongside AJ but thought he was straighter than straight. He had to be yanking my chain but the look in his eye and now he was placing my hand on his cock, it was hard as stone. “So, you up for some sweaty fun?” I squeezed his cock and we headed upstairs.

As we were heading up the stairs, AJ was coming down in a pair of shorts and running shoes – “It’s about fucking time you two got naked. Shit, I’m the 2 on the Kinsey and I saw that the first time you two met. Go fuck each other’s brains out, you can use my room but you better be done in 90 minutes and have it cleaned up. Jers out of town but I don’t need to be smelling your sex when I get back.”

Brady and I looked at each other, grinning like idiots and tore off for AJ’s room. We had a great time once we figured out that we were both tops and need to get comfortable with flip fucking and when we talked it through, we fucked each other silly. Brady is built a lot like AJ, 6’ 1” tall, muscular frame, dark brown eyes, great wavy brown hair that is just long enough to grab onto when you are fucking his amazing ass. He has amazing arms that I held onto while he railed my ass.

I was balls deep in his ass to start round 3 when there was banging on the door and AJ was back, fuck this was not going to be good. We started throwing on our clothes but AJ yelled at us to open the door now. We did and it was clear he was not happy with us.

AJ snarled – “I do you a solid and you ignore the one thing I ask – be done in 90 minutes and make sure my room doesn’t smell like man sex. You didn’t do either thing for me. get it cleaned up and aired out now. Syd is coming over and if it smells like ass/cum in here when she arrives, I’m gonna make you disappear.”
