The triumphant return of Aaron and Dan. Not Safe for Work text...all depending on where you work, I guess.

My nose was cold.
Okay, fine. There was snot dripping out of it, which was then turned cold by the air conditioner in the bathroom. THAT made my nose cold. I couldn't help it; snot was a by product of crying. And I wasn't into lapping it up with my finger and sticking it in my mouth anymore, either.
And for the sake of argument, if I was into it, I sure as fuck wouldn't be doing that in front of Dan. I had an image to maintain, after all.
I leaned on the sink, Dan resting against me, our arms wrapped around one another. It was so dead quiet in here I could hear our hearts pumping in unison if I listened hard enough. We took breaths together, our chests fighting against each other as air filled our lungs. His arms held me in a way I'd never been held before...in a way I had wanted to be held for so long. Sometimes you just needed another person to wrap you up, to not let go, you know?
"Dan..."
He looked at me, his eyes searching for some clue about what I was going to say. I could see the gears turning in his head....
In a moment of desperation, I told you I loved you.
I can't handle this kind of emotional roller coaster.
You're not all that good looking to me anymore.
I'm not sure about Ethan.
Like sand through the hour glass, the seconds ticked away on a non-existent clock. He grew anxious, I could tell, with eyes darting back and forth, excavating my face for some idea of what I was going to say.
We need to slow down.
I'm in love with someone else.
I'm not really gay.
"If I didn't love you so much, I'd beat your ass right here for keeping me in suspense. What?" Dan was cute when he was mad. He was biting his lip. I could see his jaw moving, the outside of his mouth puckering ever so slightly and then being released. He was nervous.
"I'm sorry about what I said before. About not being ready to jump into something. And then the...the other thing..." He put his finger to my lips.
"Shhhh. They were coming on strong."
The finger was replaced by his lips. The sweet, warm pieces of flesh I admit to fantasizing about every now and again. There was a calming aspect to them, something that told me the world would be alright if we could only kiss our way through our troubles.
To be completely fair to Tony, I had a similar experience with him, not to mention everyone else I had ever kissed. I liked the act; it was more intimate than sex, more exciting that an orgy. But Dan was completely different. I could be myself with him, vulnerable, masculine, emotional...me. Tony never got that part. We had to maintain an even keel. Not to be too gay. Not to be too grown up. Not to be anything, really, besides gelatinous blobs sitting on the couch. Dan challenged me.
It’s not like we’ve known each other for a long time, either. I can’t put my finger on exactly what it was about him that fascinated me. There hadn’t been a long courtship where we learned about each other’s ins and outs.
This was all brand spanking new. And I’ll even admit it’s kind of scary for me. On our second date, Tony and I fucked until the cow’s came home. He stayed over. We did it again the next morning and then in the afternoon and then at night. My dick was sore when all was said and done. But we had blown a good number of loads between us. (All without lube, I might add. Prolly why everything was sore, right?)
I didn’t necessarily want that with Dan. Of course I wanted to fuck and suck and make out and kiss and cuddle and all those other things that got a man’s cock hard. But that wasn’t at the top of my list of priorities. Aside from not being a slut, this felt real to me, something to cultivate and allow to grow. Why jump into the deep end of the pool when we’ve barely put our toes in?
We hugged again, not knowing what to say.
Strike that. I knew what I wanted to say.
"I want you to spend the night tonight."
God, did those words just come out of my mouth? I immediately regretted them. Not because I didn’t want to sleep next to Dan. I was afraid of what he would think I meant by it…
"I’d love to."
He lifted his head off my shoulder, looking me in the eye.
"Maybe we can try again tonight?"
Before I had a chance to process what he said, he grabbed my right hand and put it on his crotch. His cock was hard (expectedly), jutting to the right. Being a complete tease, I rubbed it, softly at first and then more forcefully after a moment of two.
