A Parent's Choices

William Anderson would have gladly remained in his father’s house until he found the right man to marry. His father had other ideas. William was working and making good money, and when Joseph discovered that the house next door was about to go up for sale, Joseph insisted that William buy it.

“You need your own place; there are responsibilities you need to develop. If you want to move somewhere else later, you can sell or rent it. I’ll help you fix anything that needs to be fixed, but we’ve known the Guzmans for years, and they have kept up with it.”

William agreed that purchasing the house was a good move financially, he offered what the Guzman’s wanted. There were no agent fees, and they split the closing costs. After painting and replacing the carpet, William moved into the house next door. On his first night in the house, he resisted the urge to invite his father over. Instead, he ordered a pizza, and while he waited for it, he stared at the wall since neither his cable nor Internet service had been activated. That wasn’t very forward-thinking, he told himself.

When the pizza arrived, he was surprised to see David Fisher at the door.

“I thought I recognized the name,” said David. “How’ve you been, Willie?”

William clearly remembered David from school. He was surprised to see him delivering pizzas. David had been a top member of the baseball team. He had been athletically built and handsome. In fact, he still was. He was one of the few guys William had known in his life that he told himself he’d have casual sex with. No relationship necessary, just a blow, rim, and a fuck just to see those beautiful eyes while squirting a load. William was sometimes embarrassed to have thoughts like that, but he figured all men did in some form or fashion.

His most vivid memory was of David’s slapping the head of another member of the baseball team calling Bruce Simpson a queer. William had respect for him for that. “Hi, David. Come inside; it’s looking nasty out there.”

“Yeah, I pulled under your carport just in case.”

“No problem. What have you been up to?” he asked as he put the pizza down and reached for the tip. William was curious as to why someone with such potential didn’t have a full-time regular job. He took a seat after offering one to David.

“I’m on summer break; I’ll be a junior this year. I’m helping out at my father’s business. I saw your name and volunteered to bring the pizza. Actually, as soon as I saw your name, I wanted to talk to you. I knew I could trust you.”

“Trust me with what?”

“I… This is more difficult than I thought it would be. I know you came out in high school.”

William laughed. “Who didn’t after I screamed it out in the lunchroom?”

“I think we could have been friends. If I’d had the courage to talk to you then. I’ve finally admitted to myself that I’m gay. I tried to find a girl to… you know, in college, but…”

“It’s OK. I understand, David.”

“The gay guys I knew in college were always talking about how they would just hook up with guys and never see them again, and that’s just… I didn’t want that.”

“Some gay guys are sluts. Just like some straight men are sluts, and so are some women.”

“Do you ever want to be with someone just so you can feel connected to another person, feel less alone?” David looked directly at William. “Your pizza’s going to get cold. I should go.” David walked to the door.

William stood up.

“You know, I saw you the other day, at Walmart,” said David.

“I didn’t see you. I would have talked to you.” William reached his hand out and touched David’s arm. The rain began to fall; it beat against the front of the house, and they could even hear it as it fell onto the metal roof of the carport.

David turned to face William. “I just feel so alone all the time.”

“Do you want to spend the night with me?” asked William. “Share a connection with a friend?”

“I’d like that.” David bit his lower lip.

William put his arm around David’s shoulder. “Let’s share some pizza. I don’t have any beer, but I’ve got Mountain Dew.”

“That’ll be great.”

The two of them sat and discussed the news of other classmates as they ate. William realized that David would be the first man he slept with that he was not romantically attracted to. There was certainly a strong physical attraction, and he sensed the emotional need that David had expressed.

David had texted his father to let him know that he had stopped at a friend’s house to wait out the storm and was going to spend the night. After putting the left-over pizza in the refrigerator, they went into the bathroom to brush their teeth and shower.

“I’m so fucking nervous, Willie. I don’t want to be a disappointment.”

William ran his fingers through David’s hair. “You won’t be. We’ll only do what you’re comfortable with.” William turned on the shower and removed his shirt.

“Fuck, Willie. You’re really built. Look at you. Nice pecs, hairy chest.”

William looked at himself in the mirror. The change had been so gradual, he hadn’t paid much attention to it. David removed his shirt; he still had his athletic figure but with broader shoulders are more finely developed muscles. “We’re still really hot, Willie.”

“I was never hot, David.” William shook his head.

“You’re wrong,” David replied. “You’ve always been hot.”

William turned and brought his lips to David’s; he caressed them with his. David squeaked a moan. William smiled. “That was nice,” said David.

It’s even nicer, thought William, when you’re in love. David would know one day. He pulled David into the shower and kissed him more passionately. Their cocks swelled and were pressed together as their hands mutually pulled them tightly together. William squirted a little shampoo on David’s head; his hair was soft, and William enjoyed running his hair through it. They began to laugh as they lathered the soap and cleaned up.

In the bedroom, William pulled back the cover and asked David to sit at the edge of the bed. As David sat, he wrapped his hand around William’s penis and began to massage it with his tongue.

“That feels really good,” said William. “Wow, you’re a pro.”

“It’s my first time doing this,” David responded. “I’m just doing it the way I would want it done.” David tried to deep throat the now hard dick, but he gagged as the head reached his throat. Coughing, he sat back a little. “Sorry, man, that was… “

“That takes practice. It was easy with my first boyfriend and a little tougher with my second,” admitted William.

David smiled. “Thanks for being patient with me.”

“Let’s see if you like this. Move into the center.”

David moved as instructed. William picked up his legs and ran his tongue across David’s clean and now exposed hole.

“Fuck. That’s incredible.”

“You like it then,” William smiled.

“Shit, yeah, Willie. Oh, fuck, I think I’m in love. Do it again.” David clenched his teeth as William began to rim him. He began to slip his fingers in once there was enough saliva. William found his plum and began to massage it.

“Fuck,” squealed David.

William began to stretch him by using two fingers. David grabbed the bedsheets and clenched his fists. William lowered his ass to the bed and leaned his face close. “Are you ready for me?”

David’s eyes were wet. “Yeah. I want it.”

William kissed him gently and retrieved lube and a condom from the nightstand. David pulled his legs out and toward his head as William pushed this rod against the loosened pucker.

David gasped as the head of the erection penetrated him. “Oh, Willie, that’s shooting me with electricity or something.”

William continued to apply pressure until his hard shaft was almost entirely inside.

“It feels like your dick is a foot in diameter. It’s the most awesome feeling.”

William began to move back and forth; David moaned in response, and as William increased the rhythm of his thrusts, David began to respond with “Fuck, yeah.” William found the incessant repetition of those words to be annoying, so he covered David’s mouth with his and continued to pummel the tight hole.

“I’m close,” William exclaimed as he pulled out and removed the condom. He moved up and pushed the head of his dick between David’s lips. Two jerks on his cock, and he unloaded his seed into David’s mouth. At the same time, David pumped his dick and sprayed semen onto his abs.

William moved on his side and kissed David’s still moist lips while his fingers swirled David’s cum over the ridges of his abs.

“What are you thinking?” William asked him.

“That was fantastic, and, not that I want to bring up the girls I’ve dated, but that put all those experiences to shame. I didn’t want to tell you before, but I’ve had these strange feelings around my roommate’s brother, and I think I’m going to tell him, find out if he’s interested in going out and maybe doing some of what we just did.”

“It’s worth investigating,” William nodded.

“Thanks, Willie.” David sat up.

“You want to clean off? Spend the night?”

“No. I should go,” said David. “The rain’s stopped, and… I won’t forget this.”

“I understand.” William felt a little sad. He’d hoped to wake up next to someone, even if it was just one night. He smiled at David, and before he fell asleep that night, he remembered how good it felt to be physically connected to someone as he reached down to touch himself.
