Subject: Dorm Life 1

This is the first in a series entitled, Dorm Life.

This story involves sexual situations between consenting mature adults, and
is therefore intended for mature audiences. No one under the age of 18 or
in an area where such material has been deemed unacceptable should read any
further. The persons and places that are mentioned in this story and series
are FICTIONAL, at least thus far.  This story deals with homosexual
relationships, and expressions of love. If this offends you, then again,
you should read no further. Otherwise, enjoy.

Series Note: Imagination is one of the most erotic tools we possess in our
repertoire.  Unfortunately it's a tool seldom used.  It is my hope in
writing this series to bring back the use of imagination in our erotic
experiences along with romance and passion without losing the steam, the
heat, and the lustful energy of the story.  This series centers on one
student, Jay, and his search for love, happiness, and fulfillment, all
while dealing with life in and outside a dorm.  Some parts will be written
in regular story form, but other parts are going to be written as though
they were coming from Jay's journal.  This allows us a glimpse inside Jay's
thoughts. The first chapter, Fall Semester, will for the most part be an
introduction.  It will introduce you to some of the characters, the
setting, and set the tone for what to expect in subsequent chapters.
Comments, questions, and all positive email gladly accepted.

Fall Semester: Introduction

It would be his junior year at State College and his first time having to
live in a dorm.  It was all because his 2 roommates/bestfriends, Steven and
Eric.  The 3 had been friends since middle school and so when college time
rolled around the 3 all decided to forego living on campus, pool their
money and rent an off-campus apartment.  The fact that freshmen weren't
allowed to have cars on campus factored into the decision making process as
well.

Steven and Eric had been dating twin sisters since their 10th grade year of
high school.  The 5, sometimes 6 depending if Jay was dating someone at the
time, were always together.  Lisa and Leslie, or the ebony princesses as
they sometimes called themselves, were also at State College and were at
the guys apartment more often than their dorm room.  The love between them
was obvious to everyone.  So it wasn't a shock when both Eric and Steven
popped the question to their high school sweethearts January of their
sophomore year.  What was a shock was that they were planning June
weddings.  In the end they settled on a double wedding the 2nd week of
June.  This way they could have a nice wedding, keep the cost down, and
have money leftover to start their new lives together.

It wasn't until the day of the bachelor party when the apartment's lease
renewal form came in the mail, that Jay really thought about the fact that
he would have to find new roommates or either move on campus next semester.
He knew before hand but with all the classes, spring break, Easter break,
and wedding planning he'd completely forgot that he would need new
roommates for the fall.  It would've been no problem to find 2 roommates to
replace Eric and Steven before classes ended, but now it would be virtually
impossible.  After all he'd moved back home, over an hour from school, and
plus all of his friends either had roommates or found roommates for next
semester before classes ended.  His only option was the dorm.  He'd heard
stories about dorm life and up until January he thought he'd never have to
experience it for himself.  However, first thing in the morning he'd have
to call campus housing and see if they had a room available for next fall.

Another reason he did want to live in a dorm was because he was starting to
realize he might be gay.  He'd always had these feelings since high school.
He was a star athlete on both the football and basketball team and in the
showers he would always notice the bodies of the other guys, but he just
assumed it was a nature thing.  "Checking out the competition" so to speak.
He dated girls all through high school never staying with the same girl for
very long.  It gave everyone the perception that he was a ladies man.  He'd
"love `em and leave `em," but true be told he'd never gone all the way with
a girl.  Sure he'd kiss them, feel them up, and a couple he let blow him,
but he'd never gone all the way with one.  It wasn't that they didn't want
to or he didn't want to, it's just that he didn't have the desire to.  This
didn't stop him from telling the other guys he did.  He did this all
through high school and thus far in college.  Although, he's not dating as
much in college as he was in high school and that was because he was double
majoring in engineering and education so studying was his first priority.

Living in an apartment with your best friends were you have your own room
with a door you can close and lock was different than living in the same
room with someone.  Your privacy was virtually gone.

Plus, what if his roommate was attractive and those feelings began to
surface, things might get a little difficult.  It was different with Steven
and Eric.  It's true they were by most everyone's standards a couple of
hotties, especially the girls.  Steven and Eric both played on the football
and basketball team in high school too and their bodies were proof of that.
Steven stood 6'2", 185lbs and was the white quarterback/shooting guard.
Eric, 6'3" 190, the black wide receiver/swing forward and then there was
Jay with his stocky build the starting fullback/point guard at 5'11" 215.
For whatever reason, Jay just never looked at his "boys" in any other way
than as his best friends.  He was also realizing something else.

Although he was black he wasn't attracted to a lot of black guys.  His only
hope was that his roommate wouldn't be white, or if he was his personality
and body would be a total turn off.

Luckily he was so busy working over the summer he didn't have an
opportunity to think about it too much, that was until he got his housing
letter and lease along with his roommates information and preferences.
Todd Peterson, a Jr. in Chemistry, non-smoking, non-drinker, no preference
on must everything else.  It did give his address, phone number and email
address so Jay thought he'd drop him a line to introduce himself and etc.
But just like most of the summer, Jay's life continued its hectic pace and
he misplaced the letter.  He would have to wait until August before he
would get to meet his new roommate.

Jay arrived an hour after check and from the looks of it, Todd had already
moved in and set up shop.  It wasn't until 2 hours later that he heard
voices outside the room and the door opened.  In walked 2 older black
women, an older black man and a young black guy of about 21/22.  Jay
introduced himself and Donavin introduced himself, his mother & father and
his aunt.  Jay was a little unsure of what was going on because he'd been
expecting a guy name Todd, something he told Donavin and his family.  About
that time his RA came by to introduce herself and they asked to make sure
there wasn't a mix up in rooms and this Todd Peterson might be showing up
later ready to move his stuff in an already occupied room.  It seems Todd
opted to live off campus at the last minute and the housing department
didn't have enough time to send out the letter telling Jay of the switch.

Jay was relived because although Donavin was attractive he didn't find
those feelings stirring up in him so he knew things should be okay along
that front.  The two spent the rest of the afternoon talking and getting to
know each other.  Seems Donavin's on the football team so he wouldn't be in
the room much during fall semester because of classes, practice, and
mandatory tutoring sessions.  This was okay with Jay as he was hoping to
devote most of his time to studying and improving his grades.

The rest of the semester was pretty much uneventful.  Jay spent most of his
time studying and hanging out with some of his old friends.  True to his
word Donavin was hardly ever in the room before midnight.  Donavin did
however manage to meet and make friends with several of the guys on the
floor.

Jay would've but most of his time was spent hanging with his other friends.
Surprisingly he didn't hang with Steven and Eric as much as before.  He
wanted to give the newly weds time to adjust to married life without
interference.  He did manage to find the time to participate in the dorms
flag football team.

Otherwise, he was either in his room or the computer lab.

The one thing that remained constant and seemed to grow more over this time
was those feelings that he kept trying to avoid experiencing.  It didn't
help that his dorm handled the overflow for student athletes that couldn't
fit into the athlete's dorm.  So he had guys from the school's football,
soccer, tennis, basketball, and baseball team all over the place.  It only
helped to cause his feelings to always be on the alert.  He'd catch himself
noticing the different guys in his classes, the guys in the dorm, the guys
in the downstairs computer lab, guys on the bus, or just walking to and
from class.  Sooner or later something would have to give.

This is the end of the introduction.  The next few stories will be journal
entries made during the fall semester, but the bulk of the series will deal
with the spring semester.  I hope you will enjoy.  Again comments,
questions, and all positive email gladly accepted.
