any attraction I had to Andrew it certainly picked the perfect time to come flooding back. He looked magnificent standing there in the doorway, his straight brown hair messy in a way that made my knees feel weak and his smooth bare chest looked damp with sweat and glistened in the dim light. He was wearing extremely baggy track pants that hung so low on his hips I could see his dark pubes begin to thicken.

“Luke?” Andrew said disbelievingly.

“Ah yeah, I hope it’s cool I came early I got off work you see and I thought I might surprise you.” I said, unsure at where my sudden wave of nerves had come from.

“Of course it’s cool man; I’m just surprised to see you is’ all. How’ve you been? Got a bit of a tan I see.” Andrew said embracing me.

“Yeah I spent the long weekend up at the Lake.” I said hugging him back. I couldn’t help but breathe in his musky smell as he leant against me.

“Come in, come in.” he said motioning me into the room.

I looked around the small room; it was a pretty cluttered but it looked like home.

“What were you doing? You look kind of…sweaty.” I laughed.

“Oh, I-I was working out. You know, gotta fight the flab.” Andrew grinned. “Anyway you must be flat, want anything to eat or drink?

“Something to drink would be great.” I said.

“Sure, I’ll just have to go down the hall, my fridge died last week and I’ve been storing my stuff in a mate’s.” Andrew said motioning to a small bar fridge under his desk before turning and exiting the room.

I walked further into the room and dropped my duffle bag on the floor in front of the bed and looked around. There was a large picture of The Clash tacked to the back of his door that I recognized from his parents house. I walked past his desk, which was covered in textbooks, and loose leaflets of paper lined a perimeter around it. The top of his chest of drawers was covered in an array of items; there were a few old swim team trophies and the odd empty drink bottle. Along the front spread a line of picture frames, there were a couple of his parents and a group of people I didn’t know all wearing party hats. The last frame held a photo of Andrew, Tom and myself at the school swimming carnival, all of us proudly holding up first ribbons. I could distinctly remember that day, the weather had been miserable but despite the freezing air all three of us had stripped and swum each race. I could remember the numb tingly feel Andrews arm left along my bare waist as the photo had been taken, I had wanted so much to embracing him when he came shivering out of the water.

I walked away from the dresser and dropped down onto the bed. I was seriously tired from the trip down and I wondered if I would fall asleep if I just laid back. Allowing myself to fall back I felt something hard hit my shoulder. I sat back up and pulled the covers away from the mattress. I couldn’t believe what I laid my eyes upon. Obviously hastily pushed under the covers were a jet-black dildo and a small tube clear labeled ‘Anal Lube.’ The tube of lubricant was still open and leaking onto the mattress in a small wet patch.
