A Delicate Situation     Chapter 10


I don't know why I did it, but on Monday I promised Jade I'd return for the
second meeting of Campus Pride. She kept telling me that I could never
`grow a pair' unless I started standing up for myself. After the incident
with Jerry, Travis and Raleigh, I decided things couldn't get any worse. If
my father found out and insisted that I return home, then perhaps he would
be doing me a favor.

Jade smiled when she noticed me enter the room. She was holding Amanda's
hand while they talked to Sydney. Seth, I guess, still hadn't arrived. I
still wasn't sure if I liked Amanda. I did when she and Jade first met, but
I was worried they were moving too fast. It just didn't seem right to me
that they would jump into bed after only knowing each other for a few
hours. Maybe Jade seemed comfortable with it, but I didn't. However, seeing
them holding hands, I knew they really liked each other. In fact, Jade had
even mentioned that they were falling in love. So I guess I could put my
moral feelings aside and feel happy for them.

"Hello, Dorian," Jade said cheerfully as she pulled me into a tight
hug. Sydney and Amanda wrapped their arms around me for a group hug. "I
wasn't sure you'd show up."

"I told you I would," I replied as I pulled away and fixed my
hair. "Where's Seth?"  I looked around the room for Jerry. I wanted Seth to
be nearby in case he tried to speak to me again.

Sydney looked at her watch. "I don't know," she said worriedly. "He should
be here by now."

We continued to talk while Sydney kept watching the door for Seth to
arrive. I got nervous when Jerry walked through the door. Jade started to
call him over, but I stopped her. Only Seth knew what had happened, so she
didn't see anything wrong with him joining us.

"Don't Jade," I said quickly as I grabbed her arm. "I don't want him coming
over."

"Why?" She looked questioningly at me.

I remarked, "I just don't. Okay?" She nodded, but I knew she wanted to know
more. She started to ask me something when Sydney suddenly let out a
shriek. We turned to see Seth approaching. His right eye was swollen and
bruised. The right side of his face was also lightly bruised.

"What happened?" she cried as she rushed over and wrapped her arms around
him. He looked over at me and slightly shook his head.

"Nothing, Baby," he assured her. "I just walked into a door. That's all."
He gingerly rubbed the side of his face and laughed. "You should see the
door."

When he walked over and hugged me, he put his mouth to my ear and
whispered, "Don't say anything to Sydney." I knew what he was talking
about. Since Jerry had showed up and didn't look like he had been in a
fight, then Seth must have fought with someone in the dorm. Even though I
despised Raleigh, I didn't want to make Seth's life miserable when he went
back to his dorm room.

We walked over and got refreshments from the table. Numerous people from
the first meeting came over to talk to us. I think many of them came
because of Seth. They kept asking him what happened, and then they would
put their hand gently on the side of his face. Seth seemed to be enjoying
the attention. Jade and I laughed uproariously when Noah came over and got
excited. "Oh you poor, Dear," he cooed. He took Seth's hand and held
it. "If there is anything I can do, just let me know." He turned, rolled
his eyes at Sydney and strutted off.

We were still laughing when an angry expression appeared on Seth's face. We
turned to see Jerry standing across the table looking at me. "Excuse me,"
Seth remarked as he left. A second later, he was grabbing Jerry by the nape
of his shirt and pulling him from the room. Sydney started to follow, but I
stopped her.

"Wait," I said. "I'll go see what is going on." I hurried through the door
and stopped when I saw them about 100 feet down the hall. Seth had Jerry
pressed to the wall, and he was saying something to him. I couldn't make
out what he was saying, but I had a pretty good idea that he was
threatening Jerry to leave me alone. Seth slammed him against the wall and
stepped back. Jerry looked down the hall at me and then scurried away.

Seth approached me and proudly announced, "I don't think you have to worry
about that son of a bitch again." He put his arm around me and tried to
lead me back into the meeting room.

"Wait," I replied as I stopped and looked at his black eye. "Who did you
get into a fight with?"

"Oh, yeah," he smiled as he reached into his pocket and handed me a key. "I
almost forgot to tell you." I turned the key in my hand and looked back up
at him. "Me and you are going to be roomies. I kind of had a talk with
Raleigh, but he didn't want to seem to listen. We moved your things into my
room. He'll be rooming with Travis. I hope you don't mind?" He laughed,
turned and headed through the door as I looked back down at the key in my
hand.

As we sat around in a circle for our meeting, I felt better than I had
since I had arrived at school. I felt guilty because Seth had handled my
problems for me, but at least they had been dealt with. Seth would be my
new roommate, and I didn't have to worry about Jerry anymore.  When Jade
noticed me grinning, she took my hand and exclaimed, "I'm not even going to
ask now, but you better tell me later what's going on." I smiled and nodded
my hand.

We turned when Noah shouted out, "We'll be starting the meeting soon. Make
sure you've signed in." We laughed when he looked over at Seth and sighed.

There appeared to be about twenty more people present than last week. I
guess word had gotten out about the first meeting. I had noticed all week
more posters on the bulletin boards announcing the formation of Campus
Pride. Cameron was even interviewed on the school's radio station on Monday
night. I was in the library studying so I didn't hear it. Jade told me he
had promoted the group really well, and he encouraged all students and
staff to participate. It appeared a few college professors had showed up to
support us. One seemed gay, and many of the students congregated around him
as he stood off to the side.

Jade grabbed my hand and pulled me toward the registration table. "You'd
better sign in. The rest of us already have."

I pulled away and said, "Maybe I better not. Dr. Avery might look at the
sign-in sheet and see my name."

"Then use an alias," she suggested. I looked down at the sign-in sheet. I
was afraid to write my real name. Jade started giggling when I picked up
the pen and signed in as Chase Cox.

"You're an idiot," she remarked as we made our way back to join the others
in the circle of chairs in the center of the room. Jade and Amanda sat to
my left. Seth and Sydney sat to my right. I felt safer with Seth beside me
than Jerry.

Cameron called the meeting to order. He said he was very pleased with the
attendance. There were eighteen more students present than the first
meeting. He then introduced the staff who had attended. Two were
professors, one was a graduate assistant and another was on the football
athletic staff.

"Before we proceed any further, the first order of business should be to
elect our officers," he stated.

Noah stood and shouted, "I nominate Cameron Dillard for president!" He then
looked over at Seth and remarked, "Unless you want to do it, Honey."
Everyone started laughing.

"That's quite all right, Noah," laughed Cameron. "However, I think we'll do
it a little more democratically." He then suggested that members could
nominate candidates, or individuals could nominate themselves. He asked a
girl in the group to record those whose names were nominated.

Noah again nominated Cameron. Cameron insisted that someone else nominate
another person, but it was unanimous that he was going to be president of
Campus Pride. Seth objected when Noah nominated him to be vice
president. Sydney and Jade quickly seconded the motion.

I jumped to my feet and shouted, "No!" when Jade nominated me for
treasurer. Sydney and Seth instantly seconded the motion. When I sat down,
I muttered to Jade, "I'll get you for this." She looked at me and smiled. I
was going to nominate her for secretary, but before I could, three other
names had been seconded.

Cameron announced that the girl who had taken names would create a ballot
sheet, and we could officially vote at the conclusion of the meeting. He
then moved on to other business. Everyone was surprised when he informed us
that four gay students had already been harassed at school since classes
began. He suggested that a committee should be formed to come up with a
system for students to make complaints and have them investigated.

When he asked for volunteers, Jade and Amanda quickly raised their
hands. Jade grabbed mine and held it up, even though I tried to
resist. Eight other students also volunteered. Cameron thanked us, and he
had someone record our names.

I leaned over and whispered in Jade's ear, "Bitch."

She smiled and remarked, "Isn't this exciting!" She laughed when I rolled
my eyes.

Cameron also suggested other committees that needed to be formed. Seth and
Sydney volunteered to be on the committee that would attempt to recruit
more straight students. Before the conclusion of the meeting, Cameron was
handed the nomination ballots.

"There won't be candidates for president," he stated, "Even though there
should be. It's not very democratic when only my name is on the ballot."

Everyone clapped when Noah hollered out, "Forget democracy, Honey. We don't
want anyone else!"

When I was handed the ballot, I instantly saw my name as the first nominee
for treasurer. I hadn't given it much thought before, but it suddenly
occurred to me that Dr. Avery would see my name on the list of officers if
I won. He would surely tell my father. I voted for a girl named Holly.

Cameron dismissed the meeting, but he informed us that if we wanted to wait
about a half hour, he'd be announcing the results of the vote. Naturally,
we wanted to stay to see if Seth or I won. I kept my fingers crossed that
Holly would win.

Cameron and two other students counted and recorded the ballots. I paced
nervously around the room and would occasionally look over. Sydney kept
saying that she hoped Seth and I would win. After twenty minutes, Cameron
walked to the center of the room to announce the results. About half of the
group still remained.

He looked over at Seth and announced, "Our vice president will be Seth
Gorman." Sydney shrieked and kissed him while students applauded.

My heart sunk when he looked at me and said, "Dorian Gale will be the
treasurer." Jade and Amanda instantly hugged me. Seth reached out to high
five me, but I turned away. Even though they were happy that I won, I knew
it could possibly be the end of our friendship. Cameron announced the
remaining candidates, but I was too upset to listen.

After everyone was congratulated, he asked that officers to meet with him
for a minute. Seth grabbed my arm and led me to the center of the room. "I
want to personally thank you for volunteering to be officers for Campus
Pride." He looked around at us. "I think we have an excellent staff." He
then informed us that he would like us to meet at 7 pm in a small
conference room next door on Thursday. After thanking us again, he exited
the room.

"Isn't this wonderful!" Sydney exclaimed excitedly as she hugged Seth. She
then turned and gave me a hug. "Mr. Vice President and Mr. Treasurer." She
laughed when I rolled my eyes and frowned.

"It's not going to be so funny when my father finds out," I responded. Seth
looked worriedly because only he knew about Dr. Avery's visit to my room.

Jade exclaimed, "We need to go out and celebrate!" She took Amanda by the
hand. "Let's go some place special for a late night snack."

Amanda suggested, "How about Luigi's?" It was a popular Italian restaurant
located near the campus. "We can gorge on their cannoli."

"Only if I can treat," I said. Since it might be the last time I'd be with
them, I wanted to make it enjoyable.

"Do you know how much a cannoli costs?" Jade asked.

I laughed, "It's my father's money. He won't miss it."

Sydney grasped my hand and said, "Let's go."

We had an enjoyable time. Amanda was the only one at the table who was old
enough to drink, so she ordered a couple of margaritas. She asked me if I'd
like to take a sip, but I refused. Jade, however, didn't.

"I'm so excited I could pee my pants," Jade remarked as she took a bite of
her cannoli. "Our two favorite guys are on the board of Campus Pride."

"You won't be too excited when my father finds out," I replied. Everyone
spent the next half hour assuring me that my involvement wouldn't upset my
father.

"Besides," volunteered Amanda. "He's a politician. He should be happy
you're involved."

"Duh," I responded as everyone laughed. "We're talking gay group here. He
might be happy if I was a member of some Tea Party organization."

Jade was really excited about joining Campus Pride. She shared with us some
of the issues that the group should address. Bullying and hazing were top
issues. She even suggested that I should use Travis and Raleigh as
examples, and perhaps I should file charges against them.

They were surprised when Seth informed them that the issue had been
handled. Sydney gave him a worried look when he told her how he had
convinced Raleigh to change rooms, and that we would now be roommates. I
think she realized how he had gotten a black eye.

When the waiter brought the check, I inadvertently placed it face up on the
table. Sydney shrieked when she saw it. "A hundred and sixteen dollars!"
Seth grabbed it and examined it.

"Jesus, Dorian," he exclaimed. "Your father will kill you. We'll pay for
our portion." I grabbed his hand when he reached for his wallet.

"Dad won't even notice," I assured him as I added a generous tip to the
receipt. "Besides, I wanted to show you how much your friendship means to
me."

"You don't have to buy our friendship, Dorian," Jade replied as she took my
hand and squeezed it.

"I know," I said as tears appeared in my eyes. "I'm not." I didn't want to
tell her that it might be the last time we'd spend together once my father
found out I was now the treasurer of Campus Pride.

Since it was late, and we had early classes the next morning, we decided to
call it a night. Jade said she was spending the night with Amanda. I looked
over at Sydney. She seemed upset that she was losing her roommate. Even
though Jade couldn't officially room with Amanda, it was obvious she'd be
spending many nights at her apartment. Amanda had told us earlier that her
roommate had a boyfriend, so she was also gone most nights.

When we arrived at the dorm, I waited about five minutes while Seth
escorted Sydney to her room. I didn't feel safe going up to his room
without him. I didn't want to confront Travis or Raleigh alone.

Minutes later, I was standing outside my new room. Seth opened the door and
stopped me before I could enter. "Wait a minute," he laughed as he reached
down and picked me up as if I were as light as a pillow.

"What are you doing!" I screamed as he carried me into the room.

He put me down and continued to laugh. "Carrying you over the threshold."

"You're crazy," I laughed as I looked around the room. Everything looked
the same as it did in my former room, except everything was neat. Seth had
even made my bed.

He stretched and yawned, "I'm tired." He removed his shirt and neatly
folded it. "I'm going to take a shower before I go to bed." I watched as he
removed his pants and underwear in one quick move. I understood why Sydney
liked him. He had a huge cock.  He wrapped a towel around himself and
headed toward the door. Before exiting, he said, "Why don't you grab a
towel and join me?"

I stood in the middle of the room, unable to move. I couldn't believe Seth
let me see him naked, and he didn't say anything when he saw me staring at
him. He'd played football in high school, so I guess it wasn't unusual for
him to strip naked in front of another guy.

I thought about his invitation to join him. It seemed like a sincere
request. Being naked in front of Travis had elicited a homophobic
response. "You got the body of a fucking teenage girl," he had sneered. I
was sure Seth would never make such a comment. He might think it, but he
would never embarrass me by saying so.

After much inner struggle, I removed my clothing and wrapped a towel around
my naked body. If Seth and I were going to be roommates, then I wanted us
to share it freely. Hiding my body from him would only make us both
uncomfortable. Besides, he was bound to see me naked sometime. I decided
that it was best to drop my inhibitions quickly.

I held my breath when I entered the shower. I could hear him humming a song
as he showered. I hesitantly walked to the shower entrance and stood. He
looked over and smiled as he leaned down to soap his legs. "About time," he
smiled. "I thought for a while I was going to shrivel up like a prune."

I took a deep breath as I watched his face. I slowly removed the towel,
exposing my frail, small body to him. He acted as if he didn't even notice
as he turned and put shampoo into his hair. I walked over, turned on the
shower and let the water cascade over my naked body.

A feeling of freedom surged through me. I was standing naked in a shower
with a good friend, and I felt liberated. When Seth started humming a tune,
I joyfully joined in. He turned and scanned my body quickly before he
started talking about what had happened earlier at Campus Pride.

"We're going to make a good team," he smiled. "I never really thought about
joining a gay group before, but I'm glad I did." His eyes started to tear
up, but he quickly washed them away with water. "I'm going to call Adam
when I get back to the room. He'll be excited."

He reached down and lathered his cock. I watched, but he didn't seem to
mind. I panicked when I felt mine begin to harden. I turned and let the
water rinse the soap off my body. I covered my erection as I reached for my
towel.

Suddenly, Seth laughed and said, "It's okay, Dorian." I turned to see him
playing with himself as his cock hardened. "It happens all the time."

I hung my head and muttered, "Mine's not as big as yours."

He leaned against the wall and laughed. "Jesus, Dorian. It doesn't matter
how big your dick is. Don't be ashamed of what God gave you." My face
reddened as his cock expanded to about seven inches. "Come on," he
pleaded. "Get back in the shower. Besides, I have an older brother who is
smaller than you, so it's not something I haven't seen before."

I hesitantly removed my towel. My cock jutted out to its five-inch
length. I was embarrassed as I stepped back under the shower and lathered
my body again. Seth started humming again, and I joined him. We both had
erections. He didn't look at mine again, but I occasionally took a glance
at his when he wasn't looking.

We toweled ourselves off, and then returned to the room. Seth slipped on a
pair of boxers and stretched out on the bed. "I'm tired," he said with a
yawn. I put on a pair of tighty whities and climbed onto my bed. It felt so
strange to be sharing a room with Seth. It was nothing like being in the
room with Travis. I felt safe.

Seth turned and asked if I was ready to go to sleep. I nodded and he turned
out the light. A minute later, he turned the light on and looked over at
me. "If you have to take care of things," he laughed as he pretended to
jack off, "Just do it quietly. That fucking Raleigh did it every
night. When he came, he let out a horrible growl. He sounded like some sick
animal." He laughed and turned out the light. "Just do it quiet, okay?" I
wasn't sure, but it appeared he was masturbating. I turned my back to
him. An hour later, after I was sure he had fallen asleep, I jerked off. I
was careful not to make any noise when I came.

"How did you sleep?" Seth was standing in the middle of the room pulling a
tight blue tee shirt over his head. He was still in his boxers, and an
obvious erection was straining against the thin material.

"Good," I yawned. It was actually the first night I had slept well since
arriving at school. Fortunately, Seth didn't snore, or at least I didn't
hear him because I was in a sound sleep. My cock was hard, and I was afraid
to pull the covers back and get out of bed. When Seth sat on his bed to put
on his shoes and socks, I went for it. I stood and let my morning wood show
through my white underwear. He noticed, but he didn't say anything.

He asked cheerfully, "Ready to meet the girls for breakfast?" I looked at
my alarm clock. It was a little after seven.

"Sure," I replied. "Give me a couple of minutes." I went to the closet to
get something to wear. Once dressed, we headed downstairs to meet Sydney. I
assumed Jade and Amanda would join us.

Sydney's face lit up when we got off the elevator. "There are my two
favorite guys," she said as she kissed Seth on the lips. She then gave me a
hug. "How was your first night together?" She looked over and attempted to
give me an angry look. "You kept your hands off my guy, didn't you?"

I giggled and replied, "Before or after he carried me over the threshold?"

She gave Seth a puzzled look. "What?"

Seth shrugged his shoulders and said, "He was easy. What can I say?"

I slapped him on his arm. "Bitch," I laughed. "You didn't say that last
night."

Sydney laughed at our antics. "Just remember, gay marriage isn't legal in
our state."

She almost fell when Seth replied, "Then I guess I'll have to marry you."

"Really?" she shrieked.

"Not!" Seth laughed, which resulted in a harsh slap on the arm. He looked
at me and started laughing. "But if we ever do get married, Dorian can be
your maid-of- honor."

"Only if Noah is your best man," I quipped.

Seth laughed and responded with another, "Not."

Jade and Amanda were at the student cafeteria when we arrived. They were
drinking coffee, and by the looks on their tired faces, they must not have
gotten much sleep.

Seth hollered out, "Morning Sunshines!" when we approached. Jade looked up
and flipped him off. We ordered a light meal since we planned to meet for
lunch at the Pizzeria. After eating, Jade, Sydney and I headed to our
English 101 class.

"You look happy today," Jade commented as we walked along the sidewalk.

"He has new boyfriend," Sydney remarked.

Jade turned and surprisingly asked, "Who?" She then turned to me.

Sydney giggled and then said, "Mine." We laughed all the way to class as
Sydney kidded me about rooming with her boyfriend.

Her face reddened when I told Jade I knew why she dated Seth. "He's..., how
should I say this?" I then started braying like a horse. Jade laughed and
high-fived Sydney.

Class, as usual, was boring. We had to endure an hour lecture on
subordinate and insubordinate clauses. I thought high school was bad. At
least there, someone was always cutting up in class to take away the
monotony. In college, you just had to sit attentively, take notes and
pretend to understand what the professor was discussing. I was just glad we
weren't given a quiz at the end of the class.

Jade looked at her watch when we exited the classroom. "What are you guys
doing until lunch?"

Sydney replied, "I'm going to the library to research that report we're
doing in world civ."

Jade turned to me and asked, "How about you, Dorian."

"Since I'm not rooming with Travis anymore," I replied, "I think I'm going
back to my room and play a video game. I haven't played since I got here."
Jade said she'd join Sydney and go to the library. After a hug, I headed
toward the dorm.

The halls were quiet when I got off the elevator. I headed to the bathroom
to relieve myself. When I opened the door, Travis and Raleigh were inside
with towels wrapped around their bodies.  Before I could get out, Travis
held the door shut and glared down at me.

"Well, well," he sneered. "What do we have here?"

Raleigh stepped up and snarled, "I think we got us a fag boy who thinks
he's too fucking good to be with us."

Travis turned to Raleigh and asked, "What do you think we should do with
this homo?"

"I know," Raleigh replied as he gripped his pudgy hand around my neck.
