Date: Mon, 25 Jul 2022 10:26:00 +0100 From: Andrew Passey Subject: Sam's Journey of Discovery Part Two (Young Friends) Sam phoned Jake when he got up the next morning but there was no reply. He gave it a while and decided to walk over anyway and see if he was in. As he got to the house Jake's Mum was just leaving to go out with Jake's younger sister. "Hi Sam! Lazy bones is still in bed, go and wake him up for me please!" She said. Sam went inside and took his shoes off before heading to Jake's room. He knocked and got a muffled "go away" shout. He ignored it and went in anyway. "I said go away! Oh it's you Sam, I thought it was my sister. What the fuck are you doing here so early on a Sunday?" "It's 11 o'clock Jake! It's not early. Anyway I came over to tell you some news that I wanted you to hear." Jake yawned and threw his legs out of bed. He wasn't wearing any pants and was totally naked. "Pass me those pants Sam, they're clean I think," he said pointing at the clothes folded on his chair. Sam did as he was told and then remembered something he'd been meaning to ask his friend "Um Jake, how are you so confident being naked in front of other boys? Like now and in the changing rooms and showers at school. I get really embarrassed if I have to be naked for even the briefest moment in public." Jake shrugged as he pulled his pants on hiding his dick for now although he rummaged around slightly with his hand to get them fitting properly "Dunno really, it doesn't bother me. We're all boys aren't we? We've all got dicks. I've checked out the competition and I'm definitely not the smallest around. A couple of boys are bigger but I do alright. I'm happy to show off what I've got and happy to look and be looked at!" He said with a smile. "I wish I had your self confidence! If I did that or got caught looking then people would accuse me of being gay. Even more than Mark and James already do!" "As I said before Sam there is nothing wrong with being gay. And I'd know as that's what I am," Jake said looking serious for a moment. Sam giggled slightly, "Don't be silly, you're not gay! You're just messing with me." "I am gay. I like boys. I like dicks. I like bums. I am definitely 100% gay," Jake said with a shrug. Sam was shocked to his core. He had no idea his best friend was gay and Jake also seemed so matter of fact about it. He didn't quite know how he felt about it at first. Jake was gay? Would that change things between them? "Oh right. You aren't going to try and kiss me are you?" Sam asked before realising it was a stupid and borderline rude question. "Ha you wish! Er no Sam. You're my best mate and also no offence, you aren't my type. So are you okay with me being gay?" Sam smiled at his best friend, "As you said Jake, there is nothing wrong with being gay. Of course I'm fine with it! You're my best mate after all. I was just a bit surprised." Sam was being honest about it. He couldn't care less whether Jake was gay or indeed anybody else was. He'd support and stand up for his best friend whenever he needed to. "So.....now that's out of the way, what was your news?" Jake asked Sam. Sam wanted to tell Jake about his news but for now he wanted to talk more about Jake coming out to him. How long had he known? Did he fancy anyone at school? Why wasn't Sam his type? Not that Sam wanted to be his type but part of his ego was slightly bruised by that. "In a minute, what is your type then?" Sam asked, wondering if Jake would tell him. "None of your business Sammy! But since you asked I suspect you're a bit miffed a cute boy like you isn't? Well, without wishing to diss you too much, I like boys a bit bigger size wise and I don't just mean your height!" Jake giggled as he said this and Sam couldn't tell if he was joking. "Oh god that's gross, I'm sorry I asked!" Sam said as his friend continued to giggle. Jake stopped giggling and then smiled at Sam, "Thanks for being so understanding anyway Sam. It means a lot that you aren't bothered about it. I'm not telling anyone else so keep it to yourself. Now what was your news that was so urgent you needed to break in here and see me naked?!" "That wasn't my intention! I didn't know you slept naked, you don't at our sleepovers. Anyway it's not like you don't prance around the changing room naked anyway so I don't have to "break in here" to see you naked. I can't bloody get away from it! Anyway, it's big news! So.......I'm taking a couple of months off school and going to travel around India with my parents!" Sam announced theatrically. " I know," Jake said with a shrug. "What? Wait, how did you know?" "Well your Mum told my Mum a while ago they were thinking about it. Mum and Dad are looking at flight prices and we might come out and see you over Christmas. Or at least find you for a couple of days. Maybe anyway. That's one reason I just came out to you. If you end up being squashed by an elephant or eaten by a tiger then you would never have known that your best friend likes dick!" Jake laughed as he said this and was clearly enjoying making Sam uncomfortable. Sam didn't know why he felt awkward by Jake being so frank. If he'd have been talking about girls would he have felt the same? No, if he was totally honest he knew the reason he felt uncomfortable. It was because he'd also thought about dicks when he wanked. Didn't mean he was gay but he didn't want Jake to know in any case. Jake might like to be open about things but Sam liked to keep that sort of thing to himself. For now he wanted to move the conversation on away from dicks and get back to the matter at hand. His upcoming holiday and how his thunder had been stolen slightly. "How come everyone knew about my trip except me! I'm like the last person to find out I'm going to India!" Sam complained. "Don't be so melodramatic! It's just you know what our Mum's are like. Chat chat chat chat chat. Word travels fast! Anyway I am pleased for you and I'm excited to maybe visit you over there too. You can track down some sexy local boys for me!" "Fuck off! I'm not being your wingman!" Sam replied with a smile. "Oh? You want to keep them to yourself?" Jake asked which to Sam's surprise caused him to blush. "No! I'm there to have a holiday and relax. Not find you dicks to play with!" Sam felt on stronger ground now as he turned it back towards Jake. Jake giggled at that but then looked serious. "I was only joking anyway. I'm fully expecting to not get any action for many years! No way am I coming out at school so that closes off that as an option. I don't want my parents to know so I can't get a boyfriend outside of school. I guess I'll just be a virgin until I'm much much older!" "To be honest Jake I'm fairly sure nobody our age at school is getting any action outside using our own hands! Anyway you'll meet someone one day. Actually maybe you won't, not sure who'd want to put up with you!" Sam said with a giggle before shifting the conversation to topics he was more comfortable with. "How sure are you that your parents will book flights for Christmas? If you come out to India it will be great fun! At least I'll have someone to speak to other than my parents. I'm not gonna lie, it's going to be tricky hanging out with them for two months on my own. I don't know if I'll even get my own room. Fuck, the more I talk about it the worse it seems!" Jake shrugged, "Look at this way, it's going to be better than being at school! Although you might have to survive on danger wanks!" "Danger wanks?" Sam asked in confusion. "Yes! Danger wanks. Time limited, high risk ones. So like you're going at it on your bed naked and you can hear your Mum coming up the stairs bringing you clean laundry! You need to finish and clean up before she gets there. In your case on holiday it might be you manage to get a quicker hotel lift back to your room and have got two minutes spare to do it before they get there! Word of advice, best not to get caught!" Jake said giggling uncontrollably. "Fuck, I really hope it doesn't end up like that. I better fucking get my own room!'" Sam winced as he thought of the stress that would bring him. Jake patted Sam on the shoulder "You'll be fine. You could get your dick out and it's so small they would even notice!" "Fuck off Jake!" Sam replied, "Anyway get some clothes on and let's go and kick a ball around in the park. It would do you good to not be talking about dicks and wanking for at least half an hour!" Sam was pretty pleased with his riposte and they both laughed at his line. Jake got dressed and they went off to the park chatting shit together. As they did Sam realised how much he'd miss Jake when he was away. He always lifted Sam's mood and always looked out for him. Sam was disappointed he wouldn't be there to support Jake who had only just come out to him. Still, they had plenty of time to hang out before he went off to India and meeting Jake out there would be fantastic assuming that all went to plan. In any case Sam was just starting to get excited. All that time off school and the adventure of going to India looming large. He couldn't wait to get off that plane and sample the sights and smells of a new country.
