"Taylor!! What the hell?" David screamed as he walked into his dorm room to see his boyfriend in bed with his twin brother, Darren.
"David, is that you?" Taylor acted innocent, pretending that he got the twins confused.
"Don't even try to pull that shit with me! We have been dating for two years! What the hell?"
"Um I'm gonna-" Darren started.
"Get the hell out Darren!" Darren grabbed his clothes and left then David started yelling again.
"Seriously Taylor? Seriously? With my brother? I can't believe you right now!"
"I can explain everything babe, I swear."
"Oh really now? Then explain! I'm dying to hear what stupid excuse you come up with."
"Well....ummmm..."
David started to tear up.
"Get out."
"What..?" Taylor stuttered.
"Just get out Taylor, and don't come back."
"Davi please. I'm sorry." Taylor pleaded.
"Don't call me that!" David was fighting back tears now. "Get out now!" Taylor walked out slowly and looked back but David slammed the door in his face before their eyes could meet. Tears now streaming down his face, David fell to his knees and cried into his hands.
Two weeks had passed before David saw Taylor again. It was the first day he went back to class since he caught Taylor cheating. It was in the campus coffee shop. David was sitting in the back corner, drinking he coffee slowly when he walked in. Just the sight of Taylor made him tear up. Then Taylor spotted David. Taylor gazed over at his ex only for a second before looking away. David quickly grabbed his stuff and hurried out of the coffee shop as fast as he could before he started crying.
He decided that he needed to suck it up for a while and go to class. He couldn't miss another day.
David sat there as his Literature professor lectured about how Tom cheated on Daisy in the book, "The Great Gatsby." Half way through the lecture, David stood up abruptly and ran out of the lecture hall because the whole lecture kept reminding him of Taylor. He ran into the bathroom, hid in a stall, and cried.
A few seconds passed then the bathroom door opened and a familiar voice called out softly, "Hey, are you okay?"
David sniffed and tried to pull himself together.
"I'm fine..."
"Are you sure?" The voice asked, concerned.
"No..." David admitted.
"Do you wanna come out and talk about it?" David sniffled and came out of the stall slowly with puffy eyes and a red nose. "Now what's troubling you love?" David looked up and saw that the familiar voice belonged to a guy a few doors down from David in the dorm hall.
"I caught my boyfriend cheating on my with my twin brother..." David explained.
"I'm so sorry. Yeah, Gatsby isn't the best book to be discussing then is it?"
"No...not really."
"Do you want a hug? Even though we don't know each other." He said with a soft smile.
"Actually...yes please." David sniffed and smiled slightly as the smaller man hugged him gently. "Thank you." David said and he let go.
"Not a problem." The man said smiling. "Do you want me to walk you back to class?"
"Will you please?" David smiled softly. The two men left the bathroom and started walking down the hall. "What is your name by the way?" David asked softly, still kinda choked up but feeling better.
"Oh I'm sorry about that. My name Michael. What's yours?"
"David, and thank you again Michael." He said as they reached the lecture hall door.
"And again, not a problem." Michael smiled.
"Well I guess I'll see you around." David said about to walk through the door.
"Haha yeah, I'll see you real soon." Michael winked then walked in the door himself and went back to his seat that was two rows behind David.
David blushed and felt stupid. 'He's in the same class as me.' David thought to himself as he walked back to his seat.
Once the lecture ended, David and Michael walked out of class together. "Hey, isn't your room like two doors down from mine?" David asked.
"Yeah, actually I think it is." Michael laughed.
"Nice." There was a few seconds of silence. "Sooo." David said to break the silence.
"Yes?"
"Well you already know my sad story. Tell me something about you."
"Alright. Well I just turned twenty one last month." Michael laughed awkwardly not knowing what to say.
"Hey! That means you can buy me beer!" David joked. The two kept talking as they walked back to the dorm hall, then David realized something. He wasn't sad anymore. It's not that he is over what happened with Taylor. He doesn't really know what it is. All he knew is that he liked being around Michael. He made David smile. Even when he didn't feel like it.
They got back to the dorm hall and reached Michael's door. "Hey do you want to come in and hang out for a little bit?" Michael asked.
"Yeah sure!" David smiled.
"Make yourself at home." Michael said as he opened the door. David walked in to find the walls covered in band posters and concert tees. David also just realized that Michael's black hair had purple tips. His hair wasn't long like a girls but it was close. "Hey, can I tell you something?" Michael asked nervously.
"Sure." David saw that he was nervous so he smiled to try to help Michael feel comfortable.
"Well first off, my name isn't Michael, it's Michelle." David's eyes widened slightly in surprise. "Second, I am transgender. I was bourn a female but I identify myself as male. And I prefer to be referred to as male." Michael started to get really nervous because David's expression hasn't really changed. "Are you okay with us being friends?"
"Of course I am. Why wouldn't I?" David asked confused.
"Because I'm transgender...most people push me away once they find out. So I wanted to tell you now before we became really close friends." Michael looked very sad as he said this.
"Who am I to judge you?" Michael lightened up some. "You're my friend Michael, whether you are a boy or a girl doesn't change that. And yeah we've only known each other for less than a day but I already consider you my best friend." David held Michael's hand and squeezed it gently.
"Ahhhhh!! No!! No!! Noooo!! Michael!!" David screamed at the top of his lungs while thrashing around in his bed in terror, still in deep sleep.
"Michael! Wake your ass up!" Steve, the guy that lives in the room right next to David's yelled while banging on Michael's door.
Michael answered the door still half asleep. "What is-"
Michael snapped wide awake as David screamed again. "David!" Michael ran straight to David's side. He started singing Hey Jude softly, and slowly stroked David's hair. David calmed down almost instantly. Michael laid down next to him and continued to sing until he fell asleep.
That morning, David woke up around eleven, which was okay since it was a Saturday and there was no class, to find Michael laying in bed with him. David sat up and the sudden movement woke Michael up.
"Um Michael, what happened last night? All I remember is having a nightmare and then hearing some song.
"Yeah, you woke up half the dorm. I ran in here and sang to calm you down."
"Oh." David blushed. "Thank you."
"You're welcome David." Michael smiled. "Um, may I ask you what it was about?"
"What? My nightmare?"
"Yes."
"It was about Taylor."
"Oh."
"Yep. Wait, why did you come in here last night?"
"You are my friend and had woken up half the dorm, someone had to shut you up." Michael joked. "And you called my name."
"Oh, really?" David was blushing really bad.
"Yes." Michael smiled and blushed himself. "Well I'm gonna go back to my room so I can shower and get dressed."
"Hey Michael, can I ask you something?" David asked before Michael got off of the bed.
"Sure, anything."
"Well I don't know how to ask this but, do you have a dick?"
Michael laughed. "No, not yet. I haven't gotten the money yet. But I have gotten my boobs removed."
"Isn't it awkward going in the men's restroom?"
"It was at first, but it's okay now since they don't know."
"Ah okay." Michael smiled. This is the most he has ever opened up to someone about that topic, and so quickly too. "Hey, I just noticed, you have purple eyes."
"Yeah." Michael laughed softly. "Not many people have them."
"They are beautiful." Michael's heart was racing as he starred back into David's smokey grey eyes. They looked like dark swirls of smoke from distant fire, blowing in the wind. The whole conversation, at least an hour has passed, and they haven't left the bed.
"Um well I should go so I can get ready."
"Ready for what Michael?"
"You are taking me to lunch." Michael winked as he walked out the door.
'Whats going on? Am I moving on?' David thought to himself after Michael left.
After Michael took a shower he went back to his room to find something to wear. He was digging through his dresser to put on some underwear since he was still in just a towel, but Michael came across something he forgot he had. A little, sexy, black lace thong. He bit his lip while trying to decide if he should wear them or not. 'He knows I'm a girl but he accepts me as a guy, and he's gay, would he like this? Or would he get turned off?' Michael thought to himself. He shook his head and put the thong back because he decided to wear some nice, tight fitting boxers instead. 'I'm going to play it safe tonight.'
David climbed out of bed shortly after Michael left and went to take a shower as well. Michael had already gone back to his room by the time David walked into the dorm bathroom. He stepped into the shower stall and turned the water on. About half way through the shower, David's mind drifted off to Michael and he started to get hard. He bit his lip and fought the urge to jerk off since there were other guys in the bathroom. 'Yep, I think I like him.' David thought to himself as he finished up his shower and headed back to his room.
Michael took a deep breath before he knocked on David's door. "Hey David, you ready to go?"
"Come in, I need to put my shoes on." Michael walked in and saw David sitting on his bed, putting his shoes and socks on. David looked up at Michael to say something but his mind went blank. Michael was wearing black skinny jeans with rips going all up and down the legs, a tight, black, v-neck tee that had the Metallica logo on it, and black, knee high, lace up, combat boots. Just looking at him gave David a partial boner.
"Enjoying the view?" Michael joked as he noticed the bulge in David's jeans.
"Oh um.." David blushed and adjusted himself. "You look amazing."
"I know." Michael winked. "Now let's go."
"Alright." David smiled as he stood up. "Do you like Chinese?"
"I love it!" Michael beamed as they walked down the hall. He noticed that David was carrying something round in his hand. "What's that?"
"A helmet." David smiled.
"For what..?" Michael asked, afraid of the answer.
"My motorcycle."
"Oh...fun.." Michael replied nervously.
"What's wrong Mike?"
"I've never been on motorcycle before...I'm scared."
David wrapped his arm around Michael's shoulder.
"Don't worry, I got you." Michael smiled and wrapped his arm around David's waist. "Here, put this on." David said handing Michael the helmet.
"What about you? Don't you need one?"
"I will be fine." David smiled and helped Michael put the helmet on. David got on the crotch rocket, let up the kickstand, and started the bike. "Hop on." David smiled. Michael got on nervously and wrapped his arms around David and held on for dear life as David revved the engine. "Ready?"
Michael adjusted his arms and held on. "Uh-huh." David laughed and pulled out of the parking lot.
Once they got on the highway, Michael felt the engine rev and the wind blowing all over as they sped down the highway. He felt free. Michael rested his head on David's back softy and smiled.
"Have fun?" David laughed as he saw Michael's face when they got off the bike. He looked like he just got off his first roller coaster, hair kinda messed up, breathing fast, with a wild smile.
"Shut up." Michael blushed. "Let's just go eat." He stuck his tongue out at David playfully.
They walked in and ordered their food and sat down. They talked about random things such as bands and tattoos until their food came.
"You don't know how to use chopsticks!?" Michael asked surprised.
"Shut up. I could never pick anything up with them."
"Well then, let me help you with that." Michael reached over and picked up a piece of chicken with his chopsticks and fed it to David. David blushes red as he took a bite, but Michael sat there gazing into David's eyes. David smiled and blushed as he gazed back, both of them completely forgetting about the food.
The two men sat there, completely content to be in each other's company, but a high pitched voice broke the beautiful silence.
"Michele, sweetie is that you?"
Michael's face instantly dropped and turned pale white.
"M-mother?"
David almost got excited to meet Michael's mother but he noticed two things, how terrified Michael was, and how she called him Michele.
"How have you been Michele?" His mother asked excitedly. "I haven't heard from you in forever!" Michael just sat there frozen, staring at David, terrified, staring at him as if screaming 'help me.'
David saw the terror in his eyes immediately and looked over at Michael's mother and said, "I'm so sorry miss but we have to go. I just realized that we are very late for class." He then took Michael's hand into his and lead him out the door quickly. Michael put the helmet on quickly and held on to David as they sped off.
They got back to the dorm and Michael was completely silent the whole walk back to his room but held on to David's hand the whole way. When they got to Michael's room, he still didn't let go. He was sill in shock. They sat down on the bed and David looked into Michael's eyes. "Are you okay Mike?" Michael's lip started to quiver and his eyes filled with tears. "Oh baby.." David pulled him close and hugged the smaller man tight while Michael cried in his arms.
Michael sat there in David's arms crying for a few minutes then started to calm down.
He sniffled then looked up at David. "I guess I own you an explanation..." David wiped Michael's tears away with his thumbs slowly.
"No you don't Mike."
"I want you to know David..."
"Okay."
"I ran away from home when I was seventeen...and today was the first time I saw her since I left...and...and ...I'm sorry I've never told anybody this before."
"You don't need to apologize love." David rubbed Michael's back slowly.
"Thank you.." He smiled softly. "The reason I ran away was because...she hit me...everyday...and my father did nothing but yell at us and throw beer bottles at me...he left when I was twelve...and when mother found would I wanted to be a guy she flipped...so I left..."
Tears began to fill his eyes again and David pulled him close and hugged him tight.
"Shhhhh baby. I've got you and I'm not gonna let go." Michael looked up into David's eyes and tears ran down his face and he glomped David and held onto him sobbing with a huge smile on his face.
Michael sniffled and looked up at David. "I'm sorry if this is a bit sudden but..." He bit his lip.
"Yes Michael?" He gazed deeply into David's beautiful, smokey grey eyes.
"I think I'm in love with you."
