Location: Zach's Condo
Timeline: Spring

“Wouldn’t you know,” Will said as the two college students stepped out of the movie theater, “It’s raining in Seattle. Someone call Channel 13.”

He laughed at his own joke and pulled out an umbrella from his backpack. “I kinda liked the movie, you wanna grab something to eat?”

“Yeah, anywhere you wanna go?” Zach asked him pulling his hood over him and going under Will’s umbrella.

“I was kind of thinking Chinese, Xi ‘an Noodles. You know I like spicy. How does that sound?”

“Hmm yeah, that could work I guess I have seen a few servers come through there,” Zach replied while pulling his phone out of his pocket.

They had driven Will’s car, a slightly used, but serviceable Outback, and parked a few blocks away. Had it not been for the umbrella both of them would have been soaked by the time they got in the vehicle. Will tossed the umbrella on the rear floorboard and drove out of the parking lot.

As Will merged into traffic Zach asked, “So how much clothing do you have over at my place?”

The other man shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t know. A couple of sets I guess, so I can change before heading to class. Some gym shorts for sleeping in and a couple of pairs of underwear, not that we wear them much. Why?”

“How many plants have we bought together or decorations?”

“Well we bought two just last week at the Farmer’s Market, not counting the one that died, I think that’s what, four or five. Sound about right?”

“And with all the other decorations over the year, I guess you’ve made my living space better and I know I make your lunches and dinners for when I am not there, so I guess what I’m really wondering is when you are gonna live with me fully because I would like that.”

Will focused on his driving for several minutes, partially because the rain was falling heavier now he didn’t want to crash, but mostly because he was taking in Zach’s words.

“I think I’d like that too. My roommates are okay, but they’re not exactly the most gay-friendly guys. I don’t think they’d miss me. But they would miss my money. I could probably pay them a couple of months' rent and be done with it. But, I wouldn’t be able to pay you anything right away if I did that.”

“Why not just not pay them, it shouldn’t be that hard and since they still live there you don’t have to worry about your lease.”

“I guess I could do that, but I don’t want to be a freeloader either. You’re not exactly made of money you know.”

“Well, I meant you not paying them, that way if you feel like paying rent for me then yeah you can.”

“Sorry, I misheard what you said. My bad. I just don’t want to leave them totally in the lurch, that wouldn’t be right. Especially if I just moved out. But, I’m paid up through the rest of the month, and if I pay next month’s rent that should give them time to find someone else.”

“Would that be okay, if I skipped the first month’s rent?’

His smile morphed into a smirk. “I’m sure we could, you know work things out. I’d even bottom for you the whole month.”

“Haha I don’t need that, I prefer it the way we have it right now, though if you want to skip getting food now I’m sure I can treat ya to some special food there.” Zach started smirking in return.

Will chuckled loudly. “Fine, we’ll keep it the way it is. I guess I can live with that. And I’m okay with skipping the restaurant, you are a really good cook.”

Since we’re going to be living together can I ask you a personal question?”

“Go ahead?”

“Except for one time, right after we hooked up the first time, I’ve not slept with anyone else. I mean we haven’t, I don’t know, put a label on what we’re doing. But to me. Just to me, no judgment, I haven’t been with anyone else. Have you?”

“No, you were an easy lay since you always came when I texted,” Zach chuckled.

“I’m still an easy lay and now you don’t even have to text me. So, are we going to put a label on this now? Are we boyfriends?”

“I mean yeah I’d say so.”

Will passed the exit to the restaurant and turned onto I-5 instead to head to Zach’s place.

“So, after we eat, what did you want to do? What do you feel like getting into tonight?”

“What do you mean getting into, we could watch a movie.”

“I’m perfectly okay with just watching a movie, but we just got out of one. We could, you know just cuddle if you want, but I was thinking of sex.”

“Oh, that kind of get into,” Zach chuckled, “Well we could do something vanilla, or if you really want I guess we could do some restraints.”

“You’re the one that invited me to live with you. So, I’ll let you chose. But we can do vanilla anytime. Tonight’s special. We can do restraints if you want. You look hella sexy spread out like that. Unless you want to tie me up. I’d be into that.”

“I mean you’re the dom but I don’t mind being spread out,” Zach said and then started to cross his legs as he was getting an erection.

“Em, yeah. You know how much I like eating your ass. And having you helpless when I do it, is fucking sexy as hell.:”

“How fast are you going?”

“Oh, fuck, too fast. Almost seventy. I better slow down.”

“Yeah, we’re not heading to Spokane just home.”

“Home. You have no idea how good it is to hear that. To say it. How long have you been thinking about asking me?”

“Oh god, I don’t know maybe a month or three you’ve been leaving lots of clothes there now that I just start doing the laundry and make a separate pile for them so you can wear them when you wake up the next day.”

“Okay, that makes sense.” Will signaled and edged the SUV towards the exit. “Confession time. I usually wake up before you do and I’ll just lay there being as quiet as I can so I don’t wake you up and just look at you, look in your face and see, I don’t know this might sound like something out of a romance novel, but I see perfection.”

“And sometimes, sometimes, wonder what it would be like waking up with you twenty years from now.”

“That is honestly quite adorable if I am honest.”

“You should always be honest, and I’m glad you feel that way. I want something more than a fuckbuddy. I want a relationship.”

“So do I, I mean you’ve really the only one I have slept with for a year.”

“Same here. Did I tell you what happened when I went to the mall back on Valentine’s Day?”

“No, I don’t think you have”

“So, I went there because I’d gotten you a card but that was it. I wanted to get you something different. I just didn’t know what. Took me a couple of hours to find that bracelet. Anyway, I had to go to the bathroom, so I went to that one next to the theater, the one in the basement. And I’d just sat down and some guy, I mean I didn’t tap my foot, I didn’t try to look underneath, none of that kind of stuff and he just whipped his dick out and stuck it under the stall.”

“I was like ‘dude what the fuck do you think you’re doing? Do you want me to call the cops?”

“He took off like a bat out of hell. How can someone be like that? I felt guilty and I didn’t even do anything to bring it on, I can’t imagine doing something like that. I mean I’m not judging, I know guys still cruise, but uninvited? Really? That’s just twisted and not in a good way.”

“Yeah, that is fucked up.”

Will turned right onto Windsor and then a few blocks later into the parking lot of Zach’s condo

“Alright want me to get some food made before we do anything?” Zach asked while walking to his, well now their condo.

“Yeah, I really am hungry, and you always manage to come up with something crazy good.. What did you have in mind?”

“By the way, I’m still willing to talk to my folks. Especially now that we’re living together, that we’re you know, officially boyfriends and all. I’m pretty sure I can convince them to help you start that restaurant when you’re done with school.”

“I… I think that would be nice, sorry it’s still weird to hear you have accepting parents. But yeah that's pretty nice.”

“Sometimes they’re too accepting and want to know, em, details, But yeah, they just don’t have an issue with it. The semester is almost up, you could come home with me for a couple of weeks. You’d love New York.”

“Man being in the big city is something I really only dreamed about. I don't know if I could handle actually being there.”

Will reached for Zach’s hand as they climbed the stairs. “You’ll have me to show you around. You’ll be fine. Promise.”

“That’s good to hear.”

Will stopped halting the other man as he did so. “I always keep my promises.” Then he leaned in and kissed Zach.

Zach kissed back and then opened the door, “I’m gonna make some noodles for us.”

“Do, I have time to go back to my place. Well, my old place and pack a bag or two?”

“I mean this recipe is going to require me to make my own hummus so you have quite a bit of time.”

“Okay, you want me to pick anything up on the way back?”

“I would say some wine but we can’t actually buy it yet. So I guess maybe a cake for dessert.”

“Yeah, I get it. Probably better not to try the whole wine thing. Do you need anything for the cake?”

“No just pick up whatever you feel like.”

“Okay, I’ll be back in an hour or so,” Will replied as he leaned in and stole another kiss. It had stopped raining, at least for the moment, but it was Seattle so the bi-racial man checked to make sure his umbrella was still in his backpack.

Zach got into the kitchen opening one of the cupboards and got a box of egg noodles and started boiling some water with the noodles next to the pot he then grabbed his small food processor and started blending some sesame seeds creating a paste, he transferred the seeds to a bowl. He then grabbed a pan and started searing some ground-up pork. After a few minutes, Zach put in some hoisin sauce, black vinegar, and some soy sauce. After making all of the food and mixing the noodles and meat in the sauce bowl he put them into bowls for the two boys to eat out of.

Will crossed the parking lot and got into his car. It was a good thirty minutes if he was careful and Will was almost always careful. It was just part of his nature. The traffic was light though, so he made it back to the house he had been sharing with four other students. His room was the largest, but he shared it with Sam, the least obnoxious of his now ex-roommates.

“Hey, “ Sam greeted when he walked into the bedroom.

“Hey man,” Will replied, “I’m just going to grab a few things.”

“Sounds like you’re planning to stay more than a night or two.”

“You could say that.”

“You’re not moving in with him are you, that would be so uncool, leaving us hanging like that.

“I don’t want to get in an argument over this, but yeah I am. He asked me and I said yes. I’ll pay next month’s rent and you have my part of the security deposit. You’ll be fine. You can find someone else.”

“I guess we’ll make do,” Sam grumbled. “One question. Do you love him?”

“I’m starting to, yeah. I really am.”

“Fine,” Will replied, “you tell him if he breaks your heart I’m going to kick his ass.”

“I’ll be sure to relay that message,” Will said though he had no intention of doing so. “I think you guys can keep most of the furniture too. Except for my desk and the bookshelf. I figure out a way to get that.”

He stuffed as much of his belongings as he could get in the bags, including his laptop, and left the house. He stopped a Ralph’s and got the cake Zach had asked him to get along with some lox and bagels and then picked up a couple of bottles of Gingerale.

His hands were full, so he couldn’t let himself in, but he managed to gently kick the door with his boot.

Zach moved over to the door and looked through the peephole and then opened the door, “Hey hun.”

Will almost dropped his bag. “Did you just call me hun? That is so sweet. Not that I’m complaining in any way, but why?”

“I don’t really know, it just felt like the thing couples are supposed to do where one of them enters their home and the other is already there.”

“I like the sound of that. I like the idea we’re a couple even better. That’s so much of a turn-on.”

“Well, now that is just good to know then.” Zach chuckled.

“I’m going to go grab get the groceries and I’ll be back. Is dinner almost ready, Babe?”

“I… Yeah, it’s done.” Zach was caught off guard at being called babe, but it was a pleasant surprise.

“Good, and tonight, I’ll do anything you want. Anything. I, uh, I told you I wanted a relationship with you. And I do. But not just that. I don’t want to scare you off, but I’m really falling in love with you.”

“I am as well. I love you too.”

Will swallowed hard, “This has been building for a while now. I thought after David and I broke up I would never find someone that was more than a casual fuck. But I have. And, we better hurry up and eat because I’m so tempted right now to rip your clothes off and throw you on the floor.”

“Why don’t we do that then eat haha, should be a little bit cleaner.”

Will didn’t argue. Didn’t bother to say anything. Abandoned his plan to get the food he’d left in the car. He grabbed the slightly smaller man by his shirt and shoved him against the wall, careful not to make it too hard, then kissed him forcefully.

Zach moaned loudly, “We… we should move this to the bedroom.”

“Yeah, that’s a good idea. I want to look in your eyes when we fu...make love. You still want to be tied up?


“Yes sir.”

Will knew that Zach had a kinker side, it wasn’t particularly his thing, so they hadn’t made a habit of it, but they’d engaged in it before.

“Handcuffs or should I just tie you up? And what’s your safe word?”

“Let’s just use the green light system, and let’s do handcuffs tonight.”

Sometime later
The two college students, Zach wearing only his underwear and Will wearing only his jeans walked back into the living room.

“Be right back,” he called over his shoulder, “Babe, why don’t you just put the food on the table. Like I said, back in a flash.”

“Yeah, it's already in bowls so I’ll just make sure they are still warm,” Zach said, walking over to the counter and putting them in the oven to keep them warm.

It had started raining again and by the time Will got back with the groceries, he was thoroughly soaked. He handed Zach the damp bag, I think I need to change. That smells really good by the way. Almost as good as you.”

“Haha, thanks maybe I should start working out at home more now if you like how I smell.”

“I like how we both smell afterward if you know what I mean. I just don’t know how much you can work from home when you work for a restaurant.”

“Well really never, but since you are living here now we can do it a lot more if you want, plus if you want to keep the smell up we would have to do it more.”

“I’m not going to turn that down, but, I would like to do a little role reversal every once in a while and have me on the bottom. You okay with that?”

“Why don’t we try that after we eat, I don’t often top so forgive me if I am not good.”

“Practice makes perfect. I’m going to go change, I’m dripping all over the tile.”

Then Will retreated to the bathroom and dried himself off with a towel. He put his wet clothes over the bathtub and put on a pair of gym shorts out of one of his bags as he passed through the bedroom.

Zach shouted to will while he was in the bedroom, “Well why not just eat in your underwear with me or just naked?”

“How about this?” he asked, I’m just wearing these shorts. No underwear. Is that good?’

“That is actually really hot ok let’s eat quickly, you’re making me want to rip those clothes off of you.”

Will favored his companion with a seductive chuckle. “I’ll keep that in mind. Let’s just not eat too fast, I want to enjoy the food. You really are a great cook you know.”

“Ah thank you but it’s not exactly hard to eat enjoy noodles,” Zach was sitting in his chair kind of awkwardly as he was still sore and ‘full’.

“Yeah, but you cook everything well.”

Noticing how gingerly Zach sat, he asked, “Are you okay?”

“Well I have a butt plug in my ass and it is kind of sore but I like it,” Zach replied while eating his noodles.

Will took his time eating, savoring every bite. “I’ve got work early in the morning, so we can’t be up too late tonight”

“We’ve probably eaten here at the table what, twenty, thirty times? But, it feels different this time. Special. At least to me.”

“Yeah, it is special even more special now that you are living here, though we could make it special in a different way and do it right here,” Zach replied with a wink.

“How is that?”

“Well let see we clear the table and just fuck on it.”

“You have a twisted mind, you know that right?” Will said as he finished his food and started to clear the table.

“Yes, yes I do,” Zach said while smiling
