The next morning I woke thinking the whole thing must have been a dream, but the strong arms that still held me tight against Eric’s body told me that it was not. I snuggled back up against him, he must have felt me stir and he pulled me close and became still again. I laid there warm and very comfortable and went over all the events that happened last night.
I laid on top of Eric for a while both of us just breathing and enjoying the feeling of our bodies touching. I was sure that I had a hard on and if Eric had one as well I could not tell, didn’t dare move to find out. For once it was Eric who broke the silence.
“Dude you stink!” He said
“And you smell like a bed of roses.” I responded mocking “Come on we can wash off in the stream, there is a deep area upstream a bit that is easy to get to.”
I slowly pushed myself off Eric, pausing to look into his eyes again and give him a soft kiss. Once up I reached down and helped him get up. I lead the way along the stream to an area that I had dammed up for the simple purpose of making a small pool to wash in. I pulled down my shorts and walked waist deep into the water, didn’t think Eric was ready for nude yet, and it was obvious by now fast he go into the pool that he was not. The moon reflected off the water, making it impossible to see anything below the surface.
I submerged myself underwater and let out a yell of frustration, joy, and a ton of other emotions that had built up in me and just had to let them out a burst of bubbles and muffled noise burst fourth and when I was done I surfaced to find Eric giving me an awkward look.
“I could hear that you know, everything alright?” He asked
“Trust me everything is more then alright it’s wonderful, just had to let it out.” I said with a big smile on my face
“You like me since the first time you saw me didn’t you?”
“Oh you finally noticed, took you long enough.” I said in my usual sarcastic way.
“Trust me I noticed you checking me out in class, in the gym, but I didn’t know how to react. I’m a jock and have always acted like one, figured I liked the girls with big tits and long hair, fucked a new one every weekend and bragged about to the guys. I knew that was not me but didn’t know what I wanted, sure the idea that I might be bi entered my mind but I just pushed it aside time and time again, then you came along. A masculine guy, smart, kind, and not what my idea of a gay guy was at all. You were the first guy to really care about me and that scared me as did the fact that I had feeling for you. I had no idea if you were gay or not or if you just liked me as a good friend. That night at the club I just wanted to tackle you and have my way with you right there on the floor, you were so hot looking, covered with sweat with you hands on me, you have no idea how crazy it drove me. Tonight when I was lying beside you and I saw how the moon light lit up you face, it was amazing, the feeling that rose in me I have never felt before and I just had to touch you, let you know how I felt, I didn’t care about the consequences, I had to know that you felt the same way about me as I did you.” Eric finally stopped and I let all he said sink in before responded, the mood was heavy.
“You could have just asked if I liked guys.” Was all I could say
Eric closed his eyes in quite frustration “Yeeaa” he said quietly
“Look man I don’t know what to say, I have been tearing myself up inside over and over again, over you as well, but I was about sure as you could be that you were straight and just really comfortable with other guys, trust me it happens. But now we both know and that’s all that really matters, so how about you turn around so I can wash your back.”
Eric did as I said and I started to rub his back and shoulders.
“So what now?” Eric asked
“What do you mean what now?” I asked having a small idea what he meant but wanted to make sure.
“Well I have never done the gay thing before so really don’t know how this all works man.”
“Ah so you want the run down of how it goes, sorry to say there is not one, we do what we want, go at the pace we want to go. Trust me man I’m not going to push you into anything that you don’t want to do and I’m fine with not rushing, having my hands on you is fine by me.”
“Thanks man because I nervous as hell”
“Trust me I noticed you shacking awhile ago.”
“That’s because I’m cold.”
“Well that is one thing you will not have to worry about tonight because I plan to say next to you all night.”
“Hard to do in separate sleeping bags.” Eric said with a smile
“You just unzip them and lay then on top of each other, we get in between, it’s not hard at all and if you are as tired as I am we need to be heading that way. That is if I don’t smell too bad anymore.”
“Let me see” Eric said as he pulled me forward into another kiss
“You smell just fine to me, now do you happen to have something to dry off with?”
“Always man.” We walked back to the tent and I dug in my pack and pulled out two travel towels and handed Eric one.
Soon we were both dried off and has our boxers back on, I totally understood and respected Eric’s want to not sleep naked, to tell the truth I was not a big fan of it myself. We each unzipped our sleeping bags and they actually zipped together which made things ever better, Eric would have to stay curled up against me. I laid down on my side and showed him how to put one arm under my head and the other over me and hold me close, I told him the position was just like sleeping with a girl just the only difference was that I was a guy.
“Good night” Eric said with a kiss on the back of my neck
“Good night” I said and kissed the back of his hand.
This must be one of the memorable trip of their lives
