Boyfriend?" "Yeah, I guess that is what it means... But I'd rather if we could keep it a secret, to begin with. Nobody knows I'm gay, and I don't know if I'm willing to come out yet." "What about just telling Pat and Sim? They won't judge I'm sure. Pat already knows I'm gay, and he's cool with it." "He is? My friend, curious "Yeah... He actually didn't have any funerals today... He knew I had a crush on you and wanted to leave us alone." "Oh you guys are clowns, you know that?" Jul replied, laughing. "You both set me up!" "Yeah, and talking about set-up, I would need to turn the breaker back on before your parents get home I think," I said with a timid smile. "No... You didn't dare" "IT WAS PAT'S IDEA!!!" I yelled while laughing. "He figured that was the only way you'd play his game that was meant to bring us closer I guess." "Well it worked alright... Ok, go turn on the breaker Sam" I got up and started walking towards the door when Julien coughed loudly to attract my attention. I turned around and looked at him. He was holding something in his hands but I couldn't see it clearly due to the darkness of the place. "Forgetting something?" he asked. "Mmmh?" "You're naked, you dummy!" replied my friend while throwing my underwear to my face. "Oh fuck! You're right!" I quickly got dressed and then went back upstairs to turn the breaker back on. We spent the rest of the night talking and playing video games. It almost felt as if nothing had changed, but they had changed. Nothing else happened on that night: we were both exhausted and I didn't want to scare him off. We would have plenty of time in the future to work out this boyfriend thing, I wasn't in a hurry. // - Chapter 8 - I left Julien's house early the next morning so we didn't have much time to discuss our new relationship status. In the car while my dad was driving me home, I couldn't help but feel euphoric: I had a boyfriend! And not any boy, Julien, one of my best friends and the guy I had a crush on! How lucky was I?? "You had fun with your friend?" My dad asked, eyes on the road. "Yeah it was great, would have been nice if Pat could have been there, but we had a blast just the two of us!" I replied. "I'm glad you had fun. You have nice friends, your mom and I are happy that you have nice boys like them around you. You used to be so shy and had trouble making friends." "Yeah, well it's mostly Simon that keeps bringing new people into our group, he does all the hard work really!" I replied, while my dad parked in our driveway. Once I got inside, I immediately went on the pc to see if I had any messages: nothing. I was about to close the computer when a chat window popped. [Pat] HOW DID IT GO?! :O [Sam] Geez, calm down xD [Pat] Not before you tell me EVERYTHING! Did my plan work? Me and Jul had agreed yesterday before going to sleep that we'd be telling Pat and Simon at school sometime this week, but I figured there was nothing wrong in telling him sooner. [Sam] Yeah, you could say it worked... [Pat] So did you guys... [Sam] Look, I'm not going to give you details, but... Let's just say that I probably won't be able to blow you anymore, now that I have a bf... [Pat] No fucking way?! [Sam] Yes! ^^ I'm just so happy! :D [Pat] no, not that, I meant "no fucking way you won't be blowing me anymore..." [Sam] Jerk -_- [Pat] you know I'm kidding XD [Pat] I'm happy for you man! I'll find another welcoming mouth, I guess! [Sam] You shouldn't have to look far. [Pat] Not far for someone willing to do it, but finding someone as good as you may be challenging. I'm kinda jealous of Jul now! [Sam] Haha! [Pat] I gtg, dad needs help with something. Cya! [Sam] Bye! I disconnected, then went and said hello to my mom. I had decided to wait before telling my parents that I was gay and had a boyfriend. I wasn't really scared of their reaction but I wasn't ready to tell them, yet. The next day I was getting ready for school. My mom had prepared eggs and bacon so we all ate together, which was uncommon for a weekday as my dad often left early for work. "Sam," my mom started, "don't forget what I've told you about your grades, okay? As much as me and your dad are thrilled that you've been spending time with your friends, your test results have dropped drastically. Last year you averaged 90%+ in every class, and this year you can barely keep your grades above 70%. You're a smart kid and that's why I'm pushing you. I know you can succeed if you just put some effort into it. Promise me you'll study more, ok? "I will Mom. I know that my grades haven't been great lately, I'll reduce the time I play video games on weekdays and study instead. Don't worry and please, don't forbid me from seeing my friends outside of school!" I almost begged her. "It's unlikely we'll get there, as long as you work harder. Now get ready for school honey. Love you," she said while gently kissing my forehead. "Love you too Mom, bye!" Thirty minutes later, I was getting off the school bus and heading towards my locker. I picked my history book for my first class then headed to the cafeteria where me and my friends would usually hang out before classes. Simon was already there and was speaking and laughing with a guy I didn't remember seeing before. He was a bit taller than me, with black, slightly curly hair and breathtaking blue eyes. He looked in shape, his defined muscles showing through his shirt. He nodded at me when I sat at the table. "Hey, Sam!" Simon exclaimed. "This is Connor, he's in 8th grade, I have French classes with him" "Oh right, they had you skip 7th grade French because you were too advanced, right? Nice to meet you, Conor, I'm Sam." "Sup" he simply replied while fist-bumping me. We talked for a couple of minutes while waiting for the others. They explained to me that they were working together on a French class assignment that was due in a couple of days. Pat joined us, followed by Jul, who was right behind him. While I was happy to see Pat, what I felt like when I saw Julien could hardly be described: I started sweating and it felt like a fire had just started inside my belly. I needed a lot of self-control not to get up and go hug him in front of everyone. "Hey, guys!" I simply said, trying not to stare too much at my new boyfriend. We exchanged greetings and agreed to meet for lunch at our usual spot. I noticed that Julien seemed to eye me out quite a lot, certainly not to my displeasure. My history and math classes both flew by in what felt like an instant. I did pay attention, especially in math since I would have an exam later that week. I quickly stopped by my locker to grab lunch and headed outside to meet my friends. Julien was alone, the others had yet to arrive. I was happy at the thought of having a couple of minutes alone with him as we didn't have time to talk about the boyfriend thing since Saturday night. "Hey!" I simply said, smiling at him. "Hey, Sam!" "So huh, just to be 100% sure, I didn't dream about the fact that we... you know, are boyfriends?" I asked, timidly "Nah, you didn't. I was thinking we could tell Pat and Sim today if you want. I'm not sure that I'm ready, but I feel like if we wait, it'll never happen. "Yeah... about that, Pat already knows, I'm sorry!" "Figured. After you both schemed that plan the other night, I couldn't expect him to not ask how it went, I guess. How did he react?.." "He seemed super happy for us!" "Who's happy about what?" Asked Sim while walking towards us with Pat. "Hum..." I started. You may want to sit down Sim, we gotta tell you something... Sim, as calm as usual, although a little intrigued, sat down on the ground without asking any more questions. He grabbed the sandwich from his lunchbox, then nodded to me to let me know he was ready. "Okay... so this isn't easy to say, and I really hope you won't have any problems with it because you're one of my best friends, but... Sim I'm gay... and so is Jul, we're actually... together now. Sim didn't say anything at first, probably processing this new information. After maybe ten seconds, he finally replied. "I knew about you, but I'm a bit surprised about Jul, but not that much either. "What do you mean, you knew about me?" I asked, defensively. "Sam, we've been friends since we were in Kindergarten, do you think I've never seen you looking a bit too intensely at other boys? Or peeking when we changed to go swimming?" "Great, now you make me sound like a perv," I mumbled. "Sorry man, that wasn't my goal. You're curious, that's all. I guess I look at cute girls the same way you look at cute boys. And if I was changing in the same room as a dozen pretty girls, I'd certainly try to peek too!" Hearing my friend reassuring me felt great as if a ton of brick had been removed from my shoulder. It felt great not having to hide my true self from my best friends. Julien seemed relieved too to hear these words coming from Sim. "So, we're all cool?" Asked Julien "Yeah for sure!" confirmed both Simon and Pat. "One thing though, and that's important," stated Pat. We all looked at him with a serious look on our faces. "During sleepovers, you two just try not to make too much noise, okay?" "Oh, you're so stupid!" I laughed while gently punching my friend on the shoulder. We all ate our lunch while talking and joking. I was sitting next to Julien, but we didn't do anything more than what we would usually do. I guess this was all pretty new to both of us and although we knew our friends were comfortable with us being together, we were both still shy about it and didn't really want the other people at school to know about us just yet. The rest of the day went by without much excitement. I had my English class and then PE, where we went outside and played soccer. When I got home, I headed straight to my room to study until my mom called me for dinner around 5:30 pm. She had made steak and mashed potatoes, one of my favorite meals. After finishing my dinner, I made my way to the living room and sat in front of the PC. I opened MSN and was thrilled to see that Julien was online. Without hesitation, I opened a chat window. [Sam] Sup!! [Jul] Hey there <3 I paused for a moment, my heart pounding in my chest. Was that a heart symbol? It might seem silly, but those two little symbols pressed on a keyboard brought me immense joy. I couldn't explain how such a simple gesture could make me so happy, but it did. [Jul] Sam, you there? [Sam] Yes sorry, I'm here :p [Jul] How was the second half of your day? [Sam] Ehh, fine I guess, but would have been much better if you were there [Jul] You're cute <3 Another heart! That was clearly not a mistake or something he did once without thinking! I was filled with happiness. [Sam] Thanks, but we both know you're the cute one in our relationship <3 There, I've done it too. Hopefully, that'll make him happy too! [Jul] Let's just agree that we're both cute then? [Sam] Yeah, I could get behind that I think! [Sam] Btw, when's the next time we can see each other outside of school? If you're mom's ok with it, I'm sure my parents wouldn't mind it if you came over somewhere this weekend... [Jul] I don't think that'll be possible, we're visiting my mom's aunt this weekend. She lives like 4 hours away so my mom wanted to take advantage of the long weekend to visit her. I had almost forgotten that Friday was a pedagogical day! A three days weekend sounded awesome, but the fact that I couldn't see Julien at all was bothering me quite a bit. [Sam] Oh no! I wanted to see you this weekend :'( [Jul] Yeah, it really sucks. I hate going there, there's nothing to do, no one my age to play or talk with. At least I have my Nintendo DS, but it's still boring as hell! Without really thinking, I got up from the computer chair and walked to the kitchen where my mom was washing the dishes. "Mom, I know this is a long shot, but if Julien's parents agree to it, could he come over and spend the weekend here? They're visiting his mom's aunt or something like that and he really doesn't want to go. Pleeeeease?" I asked with my cutest puppy eyes. My mom turned around but didn't answer right away, clearly trying to weigh the pros and cons. "Mmmmh, I'm not against it I guess. You've been studying more seriously since I warned you. If his parents agree, he can come over. "Thanks, Mom! You're the best Mom EVER!!! I yelled while almost running back to the pc before jumping back on the chair. [Sam] JUL! Go ask your parents if you can spend the weekend here, NOW! :O [Jul] Huh? [Sam] I just asked, and you can spend the whole weekend here with us! [Jul] Man, I strongly doubt Mom will agree, but she does like you, so maybe there's a chance... [Sam] Just tell her it's her favorite son-in-law who's asking, lol! [Jul] You're dumb xD [Jul] I'll go ask, brb Julien left for what felt like an hour. I was staring at my screen without moving, silently praying to every divinity I knew that my boyfriend's parents would agree to let him stay here for the weekend. I almost stopped breathing when I noticed the symbol that showed my friend was replying. [Jul] Bad news :( [Sam] Noooooooo D: [Jul] Yeah... you'll need to put up with me for three days! [Sam] Wait... For Real!!? [Jul] Yeah baby! [Sam] Did you just call me baby? X) [Jul] Was just an expression, but I can call you that if you want... [Sam] Let's talk about nicknames later, kay? [Jul] Sure, lol! We chatted for a little while after that, then Julien had to get off to finish his homework. I also went back to my room to study some more. I was confident about my upcoming exams but didn't want to take any chance to get grounded. I got to bed just before 9 pm. I couldn't sleep, unable to stop thinking about Julien, his cute face, his body... his dick... The next thing I knew, I had my hand inside my underwear and was gently rubbing Sam Junior. I didn't know what would happen during the next weekend and had no intention of pushing my boyfriend into doing stuff he wasn't comfortable with, but It would be a great occasion to get closer. *** I just can't believe Jul's parents let him sleep over at my place for the WHOLE WEEKEND! Jul seemed pretty shy about all this stuff so I'm not expecting us to get very intimate, but I'm just happy when he's with me. Stay tuned for the next chapter, I'll be having an awesome time with Julien, but we'll also have to deal with a bully...
