Weeks later:

Nathan walked into his room with two cups of water for he and Ivan, his body full on display, only a pair of boxers covering himself.

He didn’t really mind as Ivan, himself, was probably just as bare under the covers.

“Here”. He handed him the other cup of water smiling softly.

Ivan nodded sitting on the bed, his body hidden by the covers. “Thanks”.

Nathan still felt a little sticky from the round of play that just happened.

His mother was away and because they school closed early, he and Ivan came back to his house to have some fun.

Their little relationship had been going on for two weeks ever since when Ivan came to his house.

Things had gone further from that day.

And it continued.

No one knew what went on between the two.

It was probably the first secret Nathan had ever kept from his best friends.

Although he knew they would accept the fact he was sleeping around with another guy.

Of course they would tease him about it but they would still accept him being gay.

What Nathan was worried about was the rest of the school.

He wasn’t sure, though, if anyone would accept him being gay.

Being popular and the captain of the football team, he felt like people would reject his coming out.

And of course, the horrible people in school with the nicknames, ‘fag’.

Everyone knew Jordan and Hal were together as boyfriends, the only reason they weren’t attacked or made fun of was that Jordan’s dad owned the school.

So nobody wanted to play with their admission status in the school by teasing Jordan.

They wouldn’t dare.

But nonetheless, Nathan wanted to keep his little fling with Ivan a secret. To which, he asked the boy and they both agreed to keep it discreet.

Apart from their adventures with each other, the two hardly ever spoke to each other in school.

Nathan always being with his group of friends while Ivan as usual, at the back of the class wanting to be unnoticed.

But he was always curious about Ivan, the boy seemed so innocent at first with his quiet self. But in the bedroom, Ivan seemed to be another person, kissing him skillfully and moaning his name in such a hypnotizing way.

Since that day, Nathan and Ivan had become what one would call fuck buddies.

Or rather, strangers with benefits considering that they didn’t know much about each other, other than going to the same school.

Ivan would come over to Nathan, they would have sex, then he would appear in school the next day like nothing happened between them.

At school, they always acted like they didn’t know each other.

In the beginning, Nathan didn’t care about Ivan in any way that wasn’t sexual. Until he became more curious wanting to know more about him.

But Ivan was always distant, not starting up conversations, not bothering to reply and whenever Nathan wanted to know more about it, he usually cut him off.

Nathan’s eyes wandered to Ivan who was sitting on the bed, bed covers over his lower half.

He stared at his beautiful skin and his dark hair that had been tousled in every direction leaving it a black mess atop his head.

Nathan still thought of him as cute.

But he would never admit it, he only liked his body for his sexual need and nothing else.

“Stop that. It’s so gross to watch “. Jordan whined watching his boyfriend dip a fry in his chocolate milkshake questioning his life choices that made him date him.

The four best friends were currently at their local food restaurant sitting at a booth of four near the window while the rain poured outside.

“It’s sweet “. Hal teased as he popped yet another fry coated in milkshake shaking it in front of Jordan to piss his boyfriend even more.

Nathan scoffed watching him. “You deserve to be thrown outside in the rain “.

“Hey! I don’t judge when you eat girl’s faces”. Hal retaliated.

“What does that have to do with you eating French Fries with chocolate milkshake?”.

“Well you said what I did was gross so you French kissing girls is also gross”. Hal said snorting.

“I second that “. Jordan piped in.

Nathan rolled his eyes. “Well I don’t judge you people for liking boys. So what’s the attack for? “.

“You don’t judge because you are bi “. Jeremy stated as if it were obvious while the rest of them laughed.

“I’m not gay let alone bisexual “.

“You stare at boys more while watching porn. There’s no way you are straight “. Jordan said earning another bout of laughters from the boys again.

Nathan groaned, flustered. “That doesn’t mean I’m into boys”.

“Shh! You know you are bi”. Jordan teased from the side of his table, flicking his fingers at Nathan with a sly smile.

They all laughed again irritating Nathan greatly.

“What do you think? Are you gay or bi? We are your friends, don’t be shy”. Jeremy teased him ruffling his hair earning a slap from an irritated Nathan.

“Will you cut it out?”. He shrieked which made everyone burst out into laughter.

Nathan sighed hating his friends at the moment for being right about his sexuality.

Nathan typed furiously on his phone responding to his friends remarks on their private group chat.

They were teasing him again.

As if they weren’t tired from the teasing they did hours ago in that restaurant.

Now, they were telling Sal, another one of their friends, making about Nathan’s sexuality.

Nathan exited the group chat dropping his phone on the couch tired of responding to his snotty friends.

Even if they were just jokes and they didn’t intend it, it kind of made him feel uneasy knowing they were right.

He was really gay, or maybe bisexual.

He didn’t know yet.

He was certain it was the sex he had with Ivan that was making him this way.

But that would just be him lying as he knew it was more than that.

Nowadays he was getting concerned and curious about Ivan Carey.

And it wasn’t good.

They had both agreed to keep everything between them discreet and strictly sex.

He wasn’t supposed to feeling anything that wasn’t related to sex.

Groaning, he walked towards the kitchen to take a cup of water to calm his thoughts down.

He gulped the water down his throat as it seemingly satisfied him.

Hearing a knock on the front door, he frowned wondering who that was.

He was certain he wasn’t expecting anyone to drop by his house today.

And his mum was still at work, it wasn’t evening yet.

Or were his friends here to make fun of him in person too?

Were they that cruel ?

Confused, Nathan stepped into the sitting room and walked towards the front door.

He unlocked it and opened the door in which Ivan appeared.

“Hi “. His voice more deep than usual.

Nathan furrowed his eyebrows. “Hey, what are you__”.

“I came here to chill “. He replied interrupting him.

“Oh”. Nathan muttered as he moved aside for him to pass through. “Well come in then “.

Ivan entered the house as the door was locked.

“Why are you looking at me like that ?”. Ivan asked unfazed by Nathan’s stare.

Nathan shrugged. “Well, I’m just surprised to see you. I mean, you don’t usually come to my house unless I bring you. Do you need something ? “.

“Maybe I do want something “.

Nathan noticed Ivan’s eyes were on his lips eyeing his body.

Pulling the boy forward, he kissed him as the latter gladly accepted.

Fumbling with each other’s clothes, they went up the stairs while still deep in the ongoing kiss.

The two boys kissed messily as they entered Nathan’s room. Their hands roaming about each other’s bodies, exploring each turn on spot.

Within a month of having sex, they had learned to know each other quite well.

They knew what each other enjoyed and what turned them on separately.

Nathan pushed Ivan on the bed slowly taking off his own shirt pulling it off before diving back into the kiss.

Ivan let out soft pants as his neck was being painted with hickeys but he didn’t seem to mind.

His shirt was slowly unbuttoned by the tip of Nathan’s fingers as the pair of hands slid up his chest to the shoulders making the shirt fall along his smooth skin.

A soft moan escaped Ivan’s lips as he closed his eyes completely forgetting the horrible night he had yesterday.

“Fuck !”. He groaned out.

Nathan chuckled trailing kisses from his shoulders back to his stomach but then stopped noticing a bruise there for the first time.

It wasn’t that large but it seemed recent which made a wave of worry wash over Nathan.

“What happened to you ?”.

Ivan didn’t reply, instead he grabbed the back of his neck, guiding his face for yet another kiss.

Nathan responded to the distraction resolving to interrogate Ivan about the bruise later.
