Jose flopped on a bench. He was totally tired from walking from building to building the first three days of classes. But he was happy. College had been a goal since he could remember and here he was.
He saved money since he could work. And his parents invested money into accounts for his eventual advanced education as well. With financial help he combined all the fundage and here he was. Jose knew he belonged there and that he'd make the next four yeras a success.
Yet he felt guilty. He had suspected he was gay even before his pubic hair appeared. And as the high school years progressed, he realized he was indeed a homosexual. As the only son in the family he possibility he'd be a disappointment to his parents loomed over him like an axe. Eventualy, he knew they would have to know. And he was determined to be as successful in every part of his life to offset that day they'd hear the news.
He missed his summer job. Working in the warehouse was finally possible after he turned 18 during his senior year. Jose worked hard, always accepted overtime and learned as much as he could.
He also learned the exileration of making love to another male. His name was Tomison. Another student working for the summer, his smile enchanged Jose the first day they met.
Watching the older boy work was exciting s well. His round shoulder that jutted out his tank top buldged as he lifted boxes and loaded trucks. Jose was sure the boy knew he liked him the way he showed off his muscular strength.
"I've been lifting since I was 15, swim on the water polo team and hvae good genes I guess" he smiled responding to Jose's honest questions.
They ate lunch together. If one worked overtime, the other seemed to as well.
"Hey they're closing early on Friday. Want to come over?" Tommy asked. Jose, unhappy about the lack of overtime, nodded.
Tommy smoked pot to Jose's suprise since he professed to be an athlete. They both drank beer and eventually kissed.
It just happened. They didn't talk about being gay or sex or girls. They had just toasted their freidnship by clickinb bottles and drank long swigs. Then Tommy leaned over and kissed him.
Their passion rushed out of whatever portion of their minds and hearts it hid and their naked bodies seached each other for satisfaction. The summer got better for Jose that day, the day he had waited for since he was 12.
"Going to stay over with Tommy cause we have a very early day tomorrow" He told his parents. They looked, nodded and thought thier son was growing up. But they said nothing.
Jose spent the evening, night and morning naked, touching, kissing, sucking, fucking and finding new ways to keep his lover happy. And to his delight Tommy seemed to be doing the same thing.
What he didn't know, Jose learned. What he otherwise did was instinctive. He knew what he was doing was natural and was part of him.
"So guess this has been one hell of a summer, huh?" Tommy said that last morning they shared bed and bodies.
Jose's eyes were already watery in anticipation. Tommy would leave work and travel with his parents for two weeks before returning to his college.
Jose would work alone until he too resumed education but on the grassy campuse 200 miles away.
"I'll miss you" was all Jose could say and they made love one last time.
He missed Tommy. But the new world he was now part of, college was demanding his emotions, thoughts, schedule and concerns. His part time job in the nearby town took up the rest of his time. And each night he would return to the dormatory, mumble greetings to his roommate and try to study before sleeping.
It had only been a month and he was tired. But after 4 weeks, his body seemed to bounce back and his erection required attention. Fortunately his hand was always ready and he felt like he was back in high school again.
Then that afternoon he finished swimming laps everything changed. Tommy stood nearly naked in his black and red speedos by the edge of the pool.
They stared at each ohter. Jose didn't know whether to reveal he knew the boy or not. There were others ihn simillar speedos around him. And members of his own campus team were nearby.
He moved to the locker toom deciding not to reveal himself or Tommy to any of them.
"Hey what's the matter?" Tommy burst into the locker room where Jose stood naked by his locker.
"You in the closet or something?" He stood there looking strong, sexy and available. Jose wanted to hug the boy, kiss his long missed lips and hold him until his body literally burst.
"No I ah didn't knew if you wanted..I mean it was just a summer thing right? I uh, you're a jobk and "
Tommy pulled him close and stopped Jose's muttering with his lips. Jose heard others walk by, lockers open and close, the locker room open and close.
But Tommy didn't let go. And Jose relaxed realizing he didn't want to let go either.
"I guess your classmates know now" Tommy said "mine knew already" he waved to one of his teammates who had walked by.
Jose couldn't speak. So much had happened to him in such a short time. And he had spent years waiting for it all to come to pass.
And what he suspected before was revealed that day. He was gay, proud of it and one loving homo. He kissed Tommy again.
