Love comes quickly

Chapter 1

REENCOUNTER

I was then sitting on the couch listening to Pet Shop Boys, Love comes quickly, and couldn’t suspect I was listening to a prophecy, one which that very day was gonna be fulfilled.

But I’d heard the bell ring and stood up. When I opened the door, I was greatly surprised. It was Dolph! He had really grown to be a virile young man. He always took care of his body but now it was a perfectly ripped body that he had with a lush moustache that made him be really handsome. I’d never been attracted to boys but it was not difficult for me to admit beauty in men when they were really good-looking as Dolph was.

Adolph Marín had been the only student of philosophy I had when I survived with private lessons. I taught all the subjects, well, except math, I was never good at numbers. He was 17 when he used to come to my house so now he should be 25.

I’m Herman Woddell and at 37 I live as a teacher of history, though I specialized in philosophy. But for years the only one I taught philosophy was Dolph. We became good friends in the three years he was coming for his philosophy lessons and I remember that formerly he was never good at it and always failed. He was a very good student in everything but he seemed not to like the subject and all he knew was labels.

I asked him one day for instance about Heraclitus and he knew the basic facts, just labels: he’d been born in Ephesus, his arche was fire and the sentences he remembered about him were “everything flows” or “man cannot step the same river twice”.

So I remembered for instance that one day I asked him.

-Well, what did Heraclitus mean with that sentence, Dolph?

-I don’t quite understand it, did he mean man chooses different rivers to swim?

-No, it means that on Thursday the river is not the same as on Wednesday, for its waters are other waters and I’m not the same man I was yesterday, just think about it, for when I go to that river my blood is not the same, or my hair or my nails, I’m not the same Herman. And everything flows, look, if an apple dies and falls to the floor it will rot and become manure, which maybe feeds the ants; it’s also seeds and from that manure new apple trees will grow, maybe I eat an apple from that tree and now my stomach has maybe little particles of that former apple which fell to the floor and became manure.

He started to understand Heraclitus and often thanked me for my way of explaining it to him more easily than his actual teacher at school. He started to pay attention to the truth of what Heraclitus thought, but he also agreed with Parmenides, apparently totally different from Heraclitus. He also believed in what Parmenides called “being”.

-So Herman –he told me one day- everything changes, that’s true and we cannot step twice in the same river, but there’s something permanent in all of us, and it’s the being, the soul I should call it.

I started to see that Dolph was really enjoying the subject and we often talked about each other. I used to have a coffee with him every afternoon I fessed my love for Una then. It was an impossible love, I knew, but Dolph asked me about her every day.

-So nice to see you, Dolph! –I finally told him and invited him to a coffee. I didn’t notice yet that he was totally hard, but once having our coffees, I asked him.

-So what do you do now? Did you find a job?

-Maybe you won’t believe me, Herman, but I studied philosophy and now I got a job as a teacher of philosophy precisely in this town.

Classes were one week ahead and it was still summer and terribly hot.

-So we’re gonna we workmates in the same high school, isn’t it?

-Yeah, Herman.

-So nice to see you again, Dolph. I remember you with extreme affection and now we can become really good friends.

And to my surprise, he stood up then, approached me a bit and kissed my lips.

-Dolph –I asked him but with no anger- you’re… you’re…

-I’m sorry, Herman, I don’t know why I did it. Now I’ve spoiled everything and our new relation as workmates is ruined; I’d better leave you.

And he was leaving but I stopped him.

-Dolph, Dolph! –I had to shout-, please return. I’m not angry. I had never kissed a boy but I like it. You’ve done no harm to me and I wanna keep your friendship, please. Hard to tell you that I appreciate you more than the brothers I never had. I like you, Dolph, sit down. I’d rather kiss you now every day than losing you.

He returned and sat with moist apologetic eyes but the first thing I did was kissing affectionately his lips.

He broke down.

-You shouldn’t be doing this, Herman.

Still kissing him, I asked.

-I can perceive a strong feeling, so tell me, my beloved student, now my workmate, what is it you have?

-I’ve been in love with you since I was 20, I cannot help it and as you talked, I watched those fleshy lips you have from where so many wise words have come and I… well, I don’t know what came to me, but I had to kiss you.

-And kissing we are, Dolph, and we won’t quickly stop. Knowing of your love has shaken me. Maybe kissing you makes it more difficult for you tomorrow but that won’t happen for I can assure you that you’ll come here every afternoon to have a coffee with me and we will smooch and not only that, look –and in that moment the feelings towards me of that sweet boy became the only thing that mattered and it became something easy for me, rather than surprising, that at the time the kissed continued, I hugged him strongly and started to also rub his crotch.

-Maybe you won’t cum with your heart, Dolph, for I would have to reciprocate you and that’s what you need for your blood to cum, but you will at least never leave my house without having cum with your dick, without having the man you love making you cum.

-I will do the same then, thanks, Herman, my heart was very intelligent to fall in love precisely with you.

I loved his words, I loved this intimacy. Dolph is not a boy, not anymore, but a man, and just then I started seeing him a really attractive man and also started to realize I wanted him every day coming to my house and sharing this manly sweetness with me. Never had I kissed a girl so intensely, not even Una; never had I given such a strong embrace. Never could I have thought I would be stroking a man’s crotch but there I was, kissing, hugging and rubbing till all these emotions made me unexpectedly cream my pants. Dolph saw me.

-Now we can stop, Herman.

-Of course we won’t stop. You haven’t cum yet, Dolph.

And I went on kissing him and rubbing his crotch till two minutes later he shouted that he was also creaming his pants.

-I thank you for everything, Herman, but I think I’d better leave you now.

-I don’t want you to go, Dolph. I have a different idea. You know this town and know there’s a big lake one kilometer away. I have enjoyed everything so much that I think, therefore I am. And men, you and I, can step twice in the same lake. We could go to the lake and swim and get to know each other better.

-I haven’t remembered to bring my speedo, Herman.

-I don’t even have a speedo, Dolph. I go there and swim naked and that’s what we’re gonna do now. Come on, Dolph, after having already kissed and made each other cum, don’t be shy to swim naked beside me. And in there we will be as isolated as in Plato’s cavern –the teacher of philosophy now was Dolph and I was gonna keep on talking to him about it.

-Ok, Herman, be it as you wish, let’s go.
