After Nick and Tom came out the response was mixed. After a couple of days, it started to trend toward the positive. Of course, there were some people who gave both of them a hard time. For the first time in a year, since Tom had said it, Nick had been called a fag in school. It didn’t bother him. The people who seemed to have the biggest problem with him being gay were people he never really spent  time with. None of his friends or acquaintances, none of the people he liked being around, seemed to care. Or, if they did care, they didn't say anything.

Things were harder for Tom. He was accustomed to everyone liking him and looking up to him. If he failed or screwed up, he had enough positive accomplishments in reserve to cover his mistakes. He was a crummy basketball player, but he was good at football and that made up for it. On the rare occasions when he blew a game, people would be angry, but he knew he deserved it.

Now there were people who disliked him simply because of who he was dating. It felt unfair, and he became slightly depressed. Nick, in particular, tried to convince him that it wasn’t so bad. Almost everyone  still thought that Tom was God’s gift to humanity and the girls were practically worshipping him now. Maybe a few people had a problem with him, but that had always been the case.

“You’re serious?” Tom asked Nick. They were eating lunch together. As people walked by, they both felt like they were zoo animals on display.

“I didn’t really like you.” Nick said with a smile. “I mean, I thought you were hot, but you seemed kind of arrogant.”

I woke up on Sunday morning with a throbbing headache; too much beer and whiskey the night before. I forced my eyes open and rolled over in bed. Empty. That was a blessing. I'd been fucking my ex-girlfriend almost every weekend since we'd broken up. When I got drunk, I usually found her laying next to me the next morning. Without her here, I could recover in peace.

I quickly realized that my refrigerator was empty. I pulled on some pants and walked to the convenience store down the block to grab some milk and shit. As I walked out, I tried to remember the day before. The last thing I could recall was UCLA blowing their game, and me trying to figure out how much money I'd lost.

As I walked up to my apartment building two guys stepped out of a shitty car parked curbside. They were big guys, maybe six three or four, and both looked to weigh at least two hundred pounds. They were young and muscular. I glanced at them, calculated my odds of winning a fight, and decided that I didn't stand a chance with my hangover. I turned toward my building.

"You run and when we catch you we'll break your arms," one of the guys yelled.

The next weeks passed in a blur. The relationship between Tom and Nick was more romantic and less sexual than usual. Tom had taken the relationship to the next level and made it much more serious than it had been. Nick in particular realized that he hadn't really been thinking of Tom as a boyfriend but as more of a fuck buddy.

After Tom said he loved him, Nick couldn't pretend that they were just screwing around. Tom was serious and that scared Nick almost as much as anything could.

From the start, Nick had thought of their relationship as being about him. Tom came to him, offered himself to him, and then made him popular. He felt like he owed Tom everything. Despite the affection Tom showed Nick on a daily basis, the relationship had felt, until then, like Tom was making up for the way he had treated Nick one morning months ago. Nick knew that he was in love with Tom, but he hadn't considered that Tom might love him back.

That responsibility was a little overwhelming. He was as important to Tom as Tom was to him, and even though Tom had done a lot for Nick, Nick now realized that he had done a lot for Tom as well. They were both adjusting to this new reality.

In the past, they mainly hung out with the guys, before going home to screw around. Most of their one on one interactions were built around sexual encounters. They had gone on a few 'dates,' but the relationship was primarily about sex. Now, suddenly, both of them had a bigger interest in each other. They wanted to show their affection in other ways, talk about their lives in different ways, and just spend time with each other.

It was dark already when Tom pulled up to Nick's house. They were supposed to meet up after Nick finished dinner with his parents, but Nick had texted Tom and told him he was running late. Tom sat outside of the house, the truck engine idling loudly, waiting for Nick.

The door opened, and Tom saw Nick in the light. He turned around to hug his mom, who waved to Tom. Tom waved back with a few fingers. When Nick jumped into the truck his eyes were a red, but he seemed like he was in a good mood.

"I told them." Nick said before Tom could ask how he was. "Not much of  a surprise for them, but it's out in the open now."

"Is that why your mom waved at me?" Tom asked.

"Yeah," Nick said. He took in a big breath and let it out. Tom grabbed his shoulder and kissed him on the side of the mouth.

"You ok?"

"Definitely. Kind of exhilarated actually. I didn't realize how nervous I was until after I said it. It still sounds weird to me to say that I'm gay. To say it out loud you know."

"Trust me, I know." Tom said.

"They were so cool. I don't know why I was so nervous."

"Your dad caught me staying the night. If they were going to freak out, they probably would have done it then."

"I guess, but it was still there, you know." Nick buckled his seat-belt and turned to Tom, "Where are we going?"

Tom slid around in the seat. Nick looked over and could see his cock pushing against the fabric of his jeans. Tom was one of the only guys Nick knew who could wear tight jeans and still have a visible bulge from his cock. He was clearly half hard, and the slab of meat was coiled up on top of his thighs. Tom grabbed himself with one hand while he put his truck into gear.

"We were going to meet up with Chris and Austin, but now I'm thinking we should do something else." Tom kept rubbing his dick slowly, putting on a show for Nick. Nick reached over and grabbed it, feeling the heat coming off of his dick and his body. He stared at Tom as he drove with the street lights flashing across his face. He looked incredibly hot. There was a commanding casualness about him when he was behind the wheel. The seriousness that normally characterized his personality was gone.

"You wanna catch the football game tonight?" Austin yelled out to Nick and Tom as they walked from the school. 

"Sure." Tom said, "We got nothing going on. Is Chris going to be there?" 

"Nah, he's busy with his girlfriend." Austin said, "I'm sick of hanging out by myself." 

Since Tom and Nick had come clean to the guys and Chris had found a girl of his own, Austin was feeling like a third wheel. Well, he felt like a third wheel when he was invited to something. More and more, even that wasn't happening. 

"You feeling lonely?" Tom said with a grin. He walked over to Austin and grabbed him around the neck, roughing up his hair and pretending to drop him to the ground. "Maybe you should get a girlfriend and we could go on a double date or something?" 

"Yeah? Is that what you've been up to with Chris?" 

"Jesus, dude, don't be jealous. Nick and I will watch the game with you. We're still your friends." Tom said. 

"Maybe I will get a girl." Austin said,  "Then we can all go out together. A girl would be into that, if you're cool with it, you know." 

Chris and Austin were trying not to out Tom and Nick, though neither of them seemed concerned about being found out. Nick assumed that most people he met knew that he was gay. Tom, not so much, but the guy was so confidant and sure of himself, that he didn't seem to care if people knew.

Tom woke up disoriented. He looked around, felt Nick's head on his shoulder, and remembered where he was. He leaned over and kissed Nick, waking him up.

"I should go." Tom whispered.

"You're gonna sneak out on me?"

"If I don't leave now you're going to have a lot of explaining to do."

"Guys stay over at each other's houses, Tom." Nick said, "And who cares if my parents know about you."

"I guess."

Tom laid back on the bed for fifteen minutes. He needed to get home to get ready for school, but he wanted to spend every minute with Nick, to spend the morning together. He cuddled up against Nick for as long as he could.

Tom climbed out of bed and pulled on his jeans. He grabbed Nick's hand one more time, smiled at him, and tried to slip out of the house unnoticed. He was outside, walking down the driveway toward his truck, when Nick's dad walked out of the garage. He was a rough looking guy, a little thick around the middle. Tom remembered Nick telling him that he worked construction or something like that. His stride conveyed friendliness, but also assertiveness and strength.

"Tom right?"

"Yes, sir." Tom said, trying to be polite.

"Listen, I don't know what you've got going on with my son," he paused and looked uncomfortable. "But, he's my boy, and if you mess him up, you're going to have to deal with me."

"I'm, uh, not going to mess him up, sir." Tom said, "Really."

"He's changed since he started hanging out with you, for the better," he said, "I hope you understand what you mean to him."

"I understand, really." Tom said. He looked at the ground and blushed. "He, uh, he means a lot to me too."

Nick's dad smiled. He took a step forward and grabbed Tom's shoulder. "No more sleeping over, ok? House rules."

"Yes, sir." Tom said.

"Dude. Dude." Tom said, "This is not a good time."

Nick grabbed onto Tom's hard cock, pulled at it, and massaged it through his jeans. "It feels like it's a good time."

"It's the middle of the day. We're in a parking lot."

"You can't text me all day long and not expect me to want your cock when I see you."

"Yeah, but you can exercise some self-control, right?"

Nick sighed and then sat back in the truck. "No dick then?"

"Later. I'll give it to you twice to make up for it." Tom said.

Nick bent over and licked along the long, thick bulge in Tom's jeans. With his head in Tom's crotch, he sucked up the smell he'd come to love. Old denim, sweat, Tom's musk. It was the best cologne ever. He licked along the bulge again.
