Off Campus

Seth’s Perspective

It was the first day of my internship. I had classes in the mornings and would be working at Dr. Aarons office in the afternoons on Mondays and Wednesdays, and all day on Fridays. I wore dress pants, a tie, and a sport coat to classes so I could leave right from campus and go to work, I even drove Zach’s car to class and parked it on campus. I was nervous about my first day, but it was overshadowed by my excitement. It also looked like I may have found a car. Brody was going to sell me his grammaw’s car, it was twenty five years old but looked and ran like brand new and had extremely low miles. It was a green Buick Century, ugly as sin, but it was love at first sight. Max and Zach were giving me shit about it, but I didn’t care. It would be my first car; I was buying it with my own money and would still have a little left in my budget for a couple of months insurance. It was absolutely perfect… I was so excited.

Morning classes went by slowly. I had Professor Ayers class, he wished me luck on my first day and I thanked him for all his help and support. After classes I skipped lunch, got into the GTI and headed to Brookfield to start my internship. I was so afraid that I wasn’t ready for this, I had to keep reminding myself of what Professor Ayers had said; I was there to learn, no one expected me to know everything. That thought gave me some relief. The trip to the office went by quickly; I parked the GTI in the parking garage at Dr. Aarons’ office and found my way to his suite. I took a deep breath as I turned the lever on the door. When I walked in, I was greeted by Celia, the Office Manager who led to a small desk near the copier. I put my bag down then Celia took me on a tour of the office. She introduced me to the two other Dr.’s in the practice.

Dr. Aarons was with patients most of the day, so Celia showed me around, set me up with a bunch of work, and walked through my duties and schedule with me. At the end of the shift, I finally got to spend a little time with the doctor.

“Seth, I’m sorry you had to fend for yourself today, I had a heavier than usual patient load” Dr. Aarons said apologizing. “Are you finding your way around?”

“Yes, sir” I said with a smile, “Celia has been showing me around, introducing me to all the office BS, just like you warned me.”

Dr Aarons laughed and said, “That’s the price of doing what you love… having to do a bunch of crap you can’t stand.” He took a breath and said, “I have to make rounds at the hospital with some patients starting occupational therapy on Wednesday. Not my usual stuff, I fill in once in a while for one of my colleagues. would you like to join me?”

‘Hands on experience with patients on day too, hell yeah I want to join you’ I thought to myself, but I contained my excitement and answered calmly “I would appreciate the opportunity.” Then he walked me through the patients and what we would be dealing with, this was real hands on stuff. Experience I couldn’t get anywhere else, especially as a sophomore.

“Perfect. Make sure you’re here on time Wednesday, we’ll need to leave no later than 1:00.” Instructed the doctor. We talked for several more minutes and he gave me a couple of books he thought I’d be interested in. At the end of the day, he walked me back to my desk and said goodnight, I loaded up my bag and left shortly after that. Even though I did a lot of busy work, I still loved my first day. I had heard from some other guys who did internships that they were basically treated as go-fers doing all the crap no one else wanted to do… go for coffee, go for lunch, go for the bosses dry cleaning… and everyone talked down to them and seemed annoyed by their presence. So far, that wasn’t my experience. They all seemed genuinely happy to have me there and treated me as a colleague. Dr. Aarons warned me there would be go-fer and grunt work, but promise me that wasn’t my purpose for being there. He proved true to his word by inviting me with him on rounds on my second day. I was very excited to see him in action.

I drove home that night in a great mood. I felt like I could do this job without a problem and was excited about going back on Wednesday. The traffic going home wasn’t bad until I hit downtown Milwaukee, But I knew there were ways to avoid the freeway once I got to that part of town, I made a note to myself to figure out alternate routes home. I finally got home and pulled the GTI into its parking space, Brody was there unloading groceries. “Hey Seth, I talked to Dylan, He said he’d love to drive the car up at the end of the month if you’re still interested. He’s looking at it as a free vacation.”

“I definitely am!” I said with a huge smile, “Are you sure you’re good with the price?” I asked. I had done some research and he was giving me an amazing deal. I realized I was a crappy negotiator; I was trying to talk him up on his price. I’m an idiot.

Brody just laughed “I just want a pick-up outta the deal. Besides, Grammaw would haunt me if I didn’t help a friend.”

Laughing I said, “I really appreciate this, Brody.”

He pulled out his phone and showed me some more pics of the car that Dylan had sent and said “It’s ugly as hell, Seth. You sure you want it?”

“27,000 original miles, new tires, recently tuned up, and plastic covers on the seats? It’s my fucking dream car, Brody.” He let out a genuine belly laugh. I loved that he was being himself around us now. I helped him take up his groceries and we talked details about Dylan’ trip, I told him I’d email him a ticket once he had the dates nailed down. This was really working out great. Brody said if I changed my mind when I saw the car, that Dylan could drive it back and I could get a refund on the plane ticket. I responded, “not a chance in hell, it’s perfect!” He laughed at my excitement.

“Hey, I’m gonna throw something together for dinner, you wanna come down and join us?” I asked.

“Nope” He said grinning, then looked down “Um… I got a date.”

I smiled knowingly “Anyone I know?”

“Nah, just some random redhead” he smiled back. I wished him luck then finally headed down his steps, then back up the other steps to my flat. I could smell something cooking as I walked up the steps, when I opened the door, there was Zach in an apron again.

“You’re cooking again?” I asked him as I came up behind him and hugged him.

“Yeah, just spaghetti, nothing fancy. I figured you’d be tired” he said. “How was your first day?”

I was so impressed. Zach just picked up my slack without being asked, without a discussion, he just did it. “It was awesome” I answered. “A lot of busy work today, but I actually get to accompany him to the hospital on Wednesday when he meets patients and see him in action.”

“Wow. That’s cool. Dr. Seth.” He said laughing as he drained the spaghetti, then stirred the sauce. “Go change, dinner’s almost ready, you don’t want to get sauce on your doctor duds.” I was laughing inside because Zach usually didn’t give a crap about that stuff, I was the one who cooked and made sure he took care of his clothes, and all that stuff. Ever since Zach proposed he had been a little different. He was more attentive, more thoughtful, more responsible, like a true partner… whatever it was, I liked it.

I changed and came back out in my sweats. He had set the little table in the kitchen with a couple of candles in the middle. We sat down and ate and talked about my day. His full attention was on me. It was nice. After that we both just sat in the living room and studied with the TV on in the background. The house was quiet, Max and Brody were out on their date, and I think Eric and Cam went out with their new friends. It was only about 9PM when we got into bed. I was in my sweats, propped up and reading, and Zach was lying on the covers, completely naked and hard as a rock, I was engrossed in my textbook and didn’t even notice. He gingerly took my hand and placed it on his engorged manhood. That got my attention. I looked over at him… that beautiful face with the mischievous grin staring back at me, moving my hand up and down his shaft. Then he took his other hand and put it down my sweatpants, grabbing my flaccid member and bringing it to full mast with his warm, strong hand. We stroked each other for a few minutes and then Zach pulled down my sweats and moved his way down to take me in his mouth. One minute I was sitting there studying, and the next I was my hard cock was down Zach’s throat. I just laid there as he went down on me, his tongue twirling around my shaft and his hand following his mouth as he woke every nerve in my manhood. I wanted to buck my hips up and fuck his face but he was doing such and amazing job I just let him do what the was doing. I was about to blow when I stopped him and said, “get up here.”

He flipped around and straddled my face so that his cock was inches from my mouth and his sweet pucker was in my sight and grasp. I took him down my throat as he moved his attentions from my cock to my hole, licking and slurping as he pushed in and out of my mouth. As he gently face-fucked me, my hands grasped his perfect ass an separated his cheeks and my fingers lightly teased his pucker. He moaned into my hole in response sending incredible vibrations through my entire body. I pushed his body down a little so I could attack his hole with my tongue. My anal assault increased the intensity and frequency of his moans and the vibrations sent me into a frenzy.

Zach moved his attention back to my cock. As soon as he took me back down his throat I was at the point of no return. I moved from his hole back to his manhood and took him down my throat again. We were in a heated sixty nine with our hips bucking and pushing as he face fucked each other. Our moans intensified and our bucking and writhing was bold and out of control. Without warning I shot down his throat. He face-fucked me even harder as he swallowed every drop of my seed. Within a few thrusts he rewarded me, shooting his sweet cum down my gullet. For the next couple of minutes we swallowed, lapped, and cleaned each other’s cocks. Satisfied, Zach rolled off me, I pulled up my sweats and we rolled onto our sides with him spooning me and fell asleep.

I was fast asleep with Zach’s arms wrapped tightly around me as he snored quietly in my ear. Suddenly I heard a loud but muffled “What the fuck is wrong with you guys?!” Coming from the first floor flat. I thought it was Max’s voice but wasn’t sure. Zach woke up and whispered, “What’s going on?”

“Sounds like the civil de-throupling just turned into a civil war.” We listened for a while trying to figure out what was going on. Next, we heard several voices yelling, a door slam, and then silence. I just said, “I’m sure we’ll hear about it in the morning.” Then we looked at each other and tried to go back to sleep. It was probably only about ten minutes later when we were disturbed again by a voice yelling “YES! YES! FUCK ME RJ! OH, MY FUCKING GOD YOU’RE HUGE!” then another, this one deeper yelling “Yeah, baby, fuck him, fuck that beefy ass!”

“RJ?” Zach whispered in my ear. “Who the fuck is RJ?”

“I think it’s that Travis guys boyfriend” I responded as we lay in the silence being auditory voyeurs listening to the grunts, groans, skin slapping, and dirty talk coming from below. Eventually the noise quieted down a bit and we fell asleep, confused, and curious.

Tuesday was a boring day (which was fine by me). I had classes until two, then the rest of the day to myself. No internship, no work, the house was clean, and I was caught up on homework. Zach had a study group after his classes so was still on campus. I decided to make a lasagna that would feed the two of us for the rest of the week so we wouldn’t have to cook, then I lit a fire and sat in the living room and got ahead of my studies by reading one of the books Dr. Aarons had recommended.

I was enjoying my alone time when Max came up the back steps, tapped on the kitchen door and let himself in. “Seth?” he called out, “You up here?”

“Yeah, I’m in the living room” I shouted back. He walked through the kitchen and dining room into the quiet, fire lit living room.

“Can we talk?” he asked. I put down my book knowing I was about to find out what the hell was going on downstairs last night.

“Sure, what’s up?” I said smiling at him.

He sat in the chair beside me, just a small table and lamp between us. He was apprehensive and trying to find the words to start the conversation. “It got ugly with Cam and Eric last night” he muttered.

“Yeah… um we kinda heard” I admitted. “What the hell was going on.”

Max let out a heavy sigh, then said “I went out on an incredible date with Brody. He knows all these awesome little local favorites that are hidden away in neighborhoods I didn’t even I know existed” he said in an attempt to avoid talking about what he needed to talk about. “Anyway, I was in a great mood when we got home” he continued. “You know what a loner Brody is, so I’m trying not to crowd him and scare him off. I wait for him to invite me to stay the night, otherwise I go to my own place. I don’t just assume.” I just nodded as I listened. “Of course, he’s too shy to ask, so we’re taking things slow which is fine by me. I jumped from my high school boyfriend, to Eric, to Eric plus Cam. I’m good with a slow pace because I think Brody’s the one.” He was rambling a little and I just let him get his thoughts out. “Anyway, when I went down to my place, I came in through the back door, walked through the kitchen and into the dining room and got a shock.” He paused.

“Why? What was going on?” I asked wide eyed and anxious to find out what was behind all the grunting and groaning last night.

Max inhaled than said “Cam, Eric, that Travis guy, and his boyfriend RJ were all in the dining room naked”

“Whoa!” I said in awe.

“Cam was bent over MY dining room table and that RJ guy had his face buried in his ass.” Oh my god, Max had my undivided attention now. I was leaning forward in my chair with my head turned towards him. “Eric was kneeling on the dining room floor giving Travis a blowjob” Max paused and looked down for a second, then looked me in the eye and said “they’re both fucking huge! I swear, that RJ had a baby’s arm hanging between his legs, and Travis… oh my god, he was hard as a rock, and big, but it curved in an arch toward the floor and was sliding effortlessly down Eric’s throat.”

“Holy fuck” I said breathlessly as I stared at Max, my eyes begging for more dirty details. “What did you do?”

“Well, I just stood there staring until RJ saw me and asked me to join them” he said as my curiosity was piqued even more? “I just looked at him and said the first thing that came to my mind ‘What the fuck is wrong with you guys?!’ then Eric tried to talk me into it and we got into a fight. He yelled ‘Well, what do you care, you’re fucking Brody’ and I replied, ‘maybe I am, ‘maybe I’m not… you wouldn’t know because I’m fucking discreet about it and not flaunting it in your face by fucking him on the goddam dining room table!’”

 “Oh my god! Then what?” I said totally mesmerized by his story.

“We exchanged more words, then I yelled ‘Fuck you guys’ slammed the door and went up to Brody’s. He asked me what was up, I just shook my head, I wasn’t ready to talk about it because I wasn’t sure why I was pissed. He didn’t ask any more questions, he just held me as I cried and I fell asleep in his arms.”

“So, why ARE you pissed? Do regret the breakup?”

"No! I just don’t want to fucking see it. THEY WERE FUCKING ON MY DINING ROOM TABLE FOR GOD’S SAKE!” Max screamed; I couldn’t help but laugh. “Couldn’t they keep it in their bedroom. It’s awkward enough living with them as a couple, I don’t want to have to watch them fuck too, especially other people.” I kind of understood, their relationship was confusing and came with a shitload of new confusing emotions.

“Did you want to join in?” I asked, curious about what was going through his mind.

“I don’t know… Maybe” he answered honestly. “Maybe it’s just FOMO, I mean…” he looked up at me with a look of lust in his eyes “It was hot as fuck. I was almost drooling looking at those two massive cocks” he admitted as I snickered. There was a little jealousy coming through in his words. “I am falling in love with Brody, and in theory love the idea of a relationship like you and Zach, but I don’t know if I’m ready for total monogamy.”

“Well, have you talked to Brody about… you know, playing with other guys or something?” I asked “I mean, he was up for giving the three of you a massage, maybe he’d be up for a little more playing around. Monogamy’s not for everyone Max, and it’s hard to jump into it headfirst. Find what works for you guys.” I couldn’t believe I was advising him to explore group sex again, I was relieved when he decided to be with just Brody because I was afraid he’d get hurt by the throupling sooner or later, but I understood where he was coming from. Hell, Brad & Scotty, Kev & Randy, almost all the gay couples I knew had played around at some point. I was happy with monogamy, but it wasn’t for everyone. Hell, Cam and Eric seemed to be doing fine stretching their boundaries and letting others in. We talked for a while about all of it, his relationship with Brody, his sex life with the other two. Max was a very levelheaded guy (which is why I was surprised when he got into a threesome relationship to begin with… Cam and Eric were definitely more on the wild side).

“Thanks for listening, Seth. I needed to talk it out” Max said.

“You feel better?”

“Yup” he said and smiled. “I gotta go study” then he left and went downstairs.

I went to the kitchen to put my lasagna in the oven. There was a soft tap on the kitchen door, I opened it to find Brody.

“Hey Seth” he said as he looked around “You alone?”

“Yeah, what’s up?”

He was a little hesitant “Um, Max came up to my place last night, he was pretty upset but didn’t want to talk about it” he paused “um, do y’all know what’s up?”

I really did NOT want to get in the middle of all this “Yeah, but I feel weird talking ab…” Brody put his hand up and stopped me.

“All I wanna know is if I did something to upset him. You don’t need to get in the middle of it all” Brody said and I greatly appreciated his concern.

I let out a sigh of relief “No. It’s definitely not you, it’s Cam and Eric” I said.

“Thanks. That’s all I wanted to know. Max will tell me the rest when he’s ready.” Brody said, then we just shot the shit for a while. Brody was now one of my favorite people and I really loved him and Max together and just hoped Max didn’t get inside his own head too much and mess it up. “Oh, Dylan said he’ll get you the dates for his trip, he said he’ll make it flexible so just get him the cheapest flight you can.”

“Are you sure you’re good with the price, and Dylan doesn’t mind driving the car here?” I asked, “I feel like I’m taking advantage.”

Brody laughed “Hell, I made you the offer. Plus, Dylan’s been looking for an excuse to visit. You’ll love him, he’s a good guy.”

“sounds like he and Max get a long” I said.

“Yeah, he sees Max as the ticket to getting me to move home. My whole family calls him Red, or Maxine” he laughed.

“You’re falling for him, aren’t you?” I asked knowingly.

“Nope. I done fell already” He said back with a smile making me laugh. We talked a little more then, he went back upstairs.

I got about twenty minutes of reading in before Zach came bounding up the front steps and threw the door open “Hey” He said, then kissed me. “Sounds like we got some drama going on downstairs. I saw Eric on campus.”

“I heard, Max and Brody have both been by.”

“So, I guess Max walked in on Cam and Eric going at it last night and got pissed off because he wasn’t invited” Zach said.

I looked at him with a cocked head and a confused expression, “Is that what Eric told you?” He nodded. “Well, I heard a completely different story…” I said and paused. “Either Max added a lot to the story, or Eric left a lot of details out.”

Zach scrunched his face “Details? Like what?”

“Like Travis and RJ were with them…” Zach’s eyes lit up as I continued my reveal of details, “they were all naked and going at it in the dining room.”

Zach let out a huge laugh and said “Oh. My. Fucking. God! Is that what Max told you?”

“Yup” I said, “and they asked him to join in, he was caught off guard and didn’t know what to say so he yelled ‘What the fuck is wrong with you guys?!’ and I guess they got into a fight after that and he ended up slamming the door and going up to Brody’s for the night.” Zach was laughing in disbelief.

We talked a little more about it, then he got sidetracked and said, “Damn it smells good in here, what are you making?”

“Lasagna, I hope it’s good, because we’ll be eating it all week”

“Fine by me! It smells awesome” Zach said, “when are we eating?”

“In about a half hour” I said. Zach made a salad and set the table. We ate dinner, just the two of us and then spent the rest of the night at home together, in quiet. We went to bed early and I fell asleep naked in his arms. The next morning, we got up and took a shower together and then I got dressed in my internship clothes, packed my bag, took the GTI and headed to classes. After classes it was back to Dr. Aarons’ office. I got there about twenty minutes early and was greeted by Celia again.

“Hey, Seth” she said. “Dr. Aarons is in his office. You can head in when you’re ready.” I said hello, went to my desk and dropped off my bag then went to the Dr.’s office.

“Good afternoon, Dr. Aarons” I said.

“Hey, Seth. Looking good” He said as he checked out my professional attire. “You ready to do rounds?”

“Very!” I said in an almost too excited tone, he gave a little chuckle at my enthusiasm.

He told me to have a seat and gave me a quick etiquette lesson, reminding me that I was there to observe, etc. I appreciated the way he spoke to me, like a colleague, not a kid. After our quick briefing we got into his Audi A8 and headed to the hospital. Along the way we got to know each other. He noticed my ring and asked about it, so I told him about Zach, and how we just got engaged. He told me about his husband and their two kids. He was a very personable and likable guy. The hospital was less than fifteen minutes away and the ride there flew by. Dr. Aarons had a Staff Physicians badge and was able to access the elevator up to the psych ward, we stopped at the nurse’s station and checked in. They all knew Dr. Aarons and seemed to love the guy as they welcomed him and joked with him like an old friend. He introduced me as his colleague, they took my picture and issued me a temporary Staff Visitor’s badge with my name and picture on it. I couldn’t help but smile proudly, Dr. Aarons noticed and smiled back giving me a quick pat on the back as he said, “You’re official.”

He picked up a clipboard and some file folders, handing me the folders while he scrolled through the documents on his clipboard. “Let’s roll” he said as he walked down the hallway with purpose. We visited several patients and each time I was introduced as his colleague, I just observed him as he met with each patient. I took it all in. The guy amazed me as he asked questions and listened to each patient empathetically. He didn’t give advice as much as he asked questions and led his patients to think through their own issues and come to their own conclusions. He was so tuned into them. I learned so much from just observing him for a few hours, he was really an amazing guy.

It was after 6PM when we left the hospital and headed back to the office. “I’m sorry I kept you so late, Seth” Dr. Aarons apologized. “I should have warned you that rounds can run long, I don’t like cutting people off when they get on a roll.”

I looked at him like I was a groupie, this guy was becoming my hero. “Are you kidding? I could’ve stayed there all night and watched you.” I realized I was gushing, He just snickered and thanked me for the compliment. He drove me back to my car and dropped me off, telling me I did good. I got in the GTI and headed back to the duplex. As I drove home taking one of the alternative routes I had looked up, I thought about everything I had observed at the hospital. Damn, I was getting firsthand experience, and Dr. Aarons was everything I wanted to be.

I had yet another gay role model. Awesome.

To be continued…
