Rhys Rides - 1

	Rhys Bowman parked his car in the spot designated for him and
switched it off. He ran his hand through his sandy-blonde hair and looked
towards the campus where he'd be attending school for the next four years.
He had never been more than an hour away from the house where he grew up
for the past 18 years, and he was ready to start a new chapter in his
life. He glanced around to check out all of his potential peers, not so
much looking at them as individuals, but rather as a whole group of people
he could possibly call a friend in the years to come. He wondered if any of
them would turn out to be his dormmate. All he knew of the guy he'd be
sharing a room with was his name, Parker Flannery.
	Rhys began to walk toward where the dorms were located, lugging the
few possessions he chose to bring with him to school: a copy of his
favorite book, his iPod, his brand new laptop, some clothes, and a few
posters for decorations. After what seemed like hours, he finally located
his dorm building and went inside. He went up to the third floor where his
room is located and walked down the hall, voicing a friendly 'hello' to the
guys he passed. When he got to room 314, he fished the key given to him out
of his pocket and unlocked the door to find a typical dorm room containing
two beds, two desks and two closets, with a window directly inbetween. He
noted that there wasn't a bathroom, which meant he'd be using the communal
to take care of his business, a prospect that filled him with mixed
emotions.
	It appeared as though Parker hadn't arrived yet, as the room was
empty save for the furniture, so he decided he would wait for his roommate
to arrive before choosing a side of the room, just in case Parker was picky
about such things. He dropped his belongings in a corner by the door and
thought that he would go check out the campus and come back later, hoping
that Parker would have arrived by then. But just as he was turning to head
back out the door, he was stopped by a figure in the doorway.
	The young man had shoulder-length, black hair and the grayest eyes
Rhys had ever seen. At about 6 foot tall, he was barely taller than Rhys,
and had a wide grin set on his face.
	"You must be Rhys," the figure said.
	"And I take it you're Parker?" Rhys replied.
	"The one and only." Parker said with a laugh.
	"Nice to meet you," said Rhys, as he shook his roommate's hand. "I
noticed you hadn't gotten here yet, so I was gonna come back later so you
could have first pick of which side you want while I walked around campus."
	"How polite of you, but I don't really have a preference," Parker
said as he eyed each side of the room back and forth.
	"Well, let's flip a coin then. Heads for the right side and tails
for the left. You can call it," said Rhys as he pulled a quarter out of his
pocket.
	"Sounds good to me," replied Parker.
	After the coin toss, the roommates began to unpack their
belongings, Rhys on the right side and Parker on the left. Rhys noticed
that Parker traveled fairly light as well. He made a note that they'd both
have to go shopping for some bedsheets, and they couldn't fully settle in
until then, so why not go ahead and get it done? Parker agreed and the two
set out on a linen hunt.
	"They might sell them at the school store, but we'd probably have a
better selection at an actual retailer. I think the bus that goes through
the surrounding towns should be arriving in a few minutes," Parker noted.
	"I have my car, it'd likely be easier to take it instead of waiting
for the bus back and forth," Rhys replied.
	Parker smiled his biggest smile yet and said "How lucky am I that
my roommate has a car!" He gave Rhys a playful nudge and the two headed to
the student parking lot. "Wow, Rhys. Nice ride!" he said as they came to
Rhys' car.
	"Yeah, it was a birthday/farewell gift from my parents. I told them
I didn't really need a car since there's a bus system here that runs
all-night, but they wouldn't take no for an answer," Rhys said, trying not
to make himself sound spoiled. They hopped in the car and exited the
parking lot, turning left off of the campus grounds and onto the
highway. "So...where are we headed?" Rhys said as he plugged in his iPod
and turned some music on.
	"Maybe Target? The map of the towns around here said there should
be one not too far away. I think it's a right turn at this next light and a
few minutes down we should see it on the left." Parker said, bobbing his
head to the music. "Nice tunes, man. I think I'm gonna love having you as a
roommate."
	All of a sudden, Rhys' heart began to beat slightly faster. Why did
Parker saying what he did spark such a reaction? Sure, he had never been
with a girl before, although he had plenty of chances in high school, but
he'd never been with a guy, either. The thought never crossed his mind. So
why, now, would a guy get his pulse going? He chalked it up as just being
adrenaline from the new college experience and realizing he and his
roommate would likely become good friends. There wasn't another possible
explanation.
	They arrived at Target after a few minutes and found a great
parking spot. "You have reached your destination," Parker said in a
mock-GPS tone. As the two shared a laugh, they got out of the car. Parker
lit up a smoke as they made their way to the entrance. "Man, that 'no
smoking on campus' rule is gonna kick my ass. You want one?"
	"I don't smoke, but I appreciate the offer," Rhys said. His
grandfather was a heavy smoker and died from lung cancer, but he usually
didn't mettle in other people's affairs.
	"Of course, man," Parker replied. "I'm gonna stand out here and
finish this up. You go on ahead and scope out our selection. I'll be right
behind you."
	Rhys entered the crowded store and asked the attendent where the
home supplies were. As he went towards the bedsheets, he got a random
feeling of joy. He was really here, in a completely new town, attending a
great school, with an awesome roommate. Things couldn't have turned out
better for him. As he was browsing the linens, he saw Parker walking down
the aisle with a guy a little taller than him with light brown hair and a
sports jacket on.
	"Hey Rhys, this is Kellam Barnes. He got a smoke from me out front
and we started talking. Turns out he goes to school with us, and actually
lives right down the hall. Said he was here for some supplies too, so I
told him he could join us. That alright?"
	"Fine with me. Nice to meet you, Kellam. I'm Rhys," he said as he
shook the new guy's hand.
	"Thanks for letting me tag along. I didn't see my roommate on
campus so I thought I'd go ahead and get the shopping out of the way. I got
here and saw Parker out front with a smoke and bummed one from him. It's
refreshing meeting people, I didn't get the chance to talk to anyone
earlier," Kellam replied.
	"Likewise. This bonehead is the only person I've talked to today,"
Rhys said jokingly with a nudge at Parker.
	"You wound me, darling," Parker said in an exaggerated,
melodramatic voice. The three shared a laugh and continued their
shopping. They each got a bed set, some hygenic neccessities, and some
notebooks and pens for their classes.
	As they were wrapping up their shopping, Kellam spoke up. "Did you
guys drive here or take the bus? I don't remember seeing you guys on it."
	"Mr. Fancy Pants over here has a car," Parker said with a wink at
Rhys.
	"You mind if I bum a ride back to campus? That bus was way
crowded. It'll probably lessen as the semester goes on, but I'm not looking
forward to catching it on the way back."
	"Sure, no problem," Rhys said.
	As they were loading up the car, Parker called out 'shotgun' and
jumped in the passenger seat. Rhys loaded his iPod back into the car radio
and they shared an '80s jam session on the way back to campus. When they
arrived back at the dorm, Rhys and Parker said goodbye to Kellam with the
promise of seeing him around, then went back to their room.
	After they were done setting up their new bedsheets, they both
plopped down on their beds. Rhys grabbed his laptop and logged on, looking
up things to do in the vicinity of the campus. "You up for anything
tonight?" he said to Parker.
	"Eh, not really. I'm kinda worn out," Parker replied with a
sigh. "All the excitement of the day got to me. I think I'm ready to hit
the sheets and go to sleep. I'm anxious to start my classes tomorrow. Might
have a shower first, though."
	"Yeah a shower does sound pretty good," Rhys agreed.
	"Last one there has to scrub the other's back!" Parker exclaimed
with a laugh as he ran for the door.
	"Hey, not fair! You got a head start!" Rhys said back. Even
considering that, it was a pretty close call, and they chalked it up as a
tie. They stepped into the communal bath and glanced around. There weren't
too many guys in right now, so they headed grabbed a towel and headed
towards the showers.
	Parker got undressed at the speed of light and noticed that Rhys
was going pretty slow. "You're not shy, are you?" he said to his
roommate. "There's nothing to be ashamed of, you've got exactly what every
other guy has." This made Rhys relax a bit, and he finally finished
undressing and walked under the showerhead. "I take that back," Parker
said, "You've got more than what some of these guys have." Rhys had never
seen another guy's penis before, so he didn't know if his was above average
or if Parker was just teasing him. But as he looked down, he noticed that
Parker's actually was a bit shorter than his own. "Hey, I'm a grower, not a
shower," Parker said with a chuckle when he noticed Rhys looking.
	Rhys felt a surge of electricity run through his entire body at the
sight of Parker's cock. Before he knew it, he had a hard-on. How
embarrassing! What the hell was happening? Rhys never though about a guy
like that before, but maybe seeing one other than his own in person made
him realize something. Was he gay? It would explain his general uninterest
in the girls at his high school, but he'd had plenty of guy friends that he
never felt anything for, either. This couldn't just be chalked up to
college adrenaline.
	Parker noticed Rhys' stiff cock and noted "Well, well, well. Looks
like someone is joining the party."
	"I'm sorry, I don't know why this is happening. I'm not gay or
anything. At least, I never thought I was. I've never had sex with a girl
before, but I haven't done anything with a guy either. If whatever is going
on with me, I understand if it makes you uncomfortable and you wanna get
another roommate..." Rhys said with embarrassment.
	"Dude, chill. It's alright. It's a natural occurence, and God knows
it always happens at the most awkward times. Don't stress it. I don't think
any less of you, whether you're gay or straight or whatever. None of that
shit really matters to me. People like what the like, who am I or anyone
else to tell someone what's wrong?" Parker said in an attempt to calm his
friend.
	"I've never really thought of it like that. Thanks, Parker. You're
a really cool dude," Rhys said in reply. The friendly, although awkward,
conversation made Rhys slowly lose his hard-on, and the two continued with
their shower. After a few more minutes of casual conversation, they turned
off the water and got dressed and headed back to their room.
	When they returned, they sat on their beds and observed the
room. "The room really filled out. It was a good idea to get the shopping
out of the way early. If we had waited, we probably wouldn't have gotten
the great selection we did," Parker noted.
	"Yeah, I could really get used to living here with you," Rhys said
in reply. They flashed a friendly smile at each other and laid back on
their beds.
	"So..." Parker said, "You've never been with a girl before?"
	"No...I had opportunites in high school but...it never really felt
right," Rhys answered.
	"No shame in that. Rushing into something like that just for the
hell of it or because you wanna keep up with your friends could really mess
up the way you see relationships," Parker said with a somber look.
	"I'm guessing that's what you did?" asked Rhys.
	"Pretty much. I lived with my dad and two older brothers. My mom
died when I was younger so there was always a lot of testosterone in the
air. Plus my friends at school were all dating, so I didn't want to be left
out. I asked out this girl in my class, thinking it would be a nice date or
whatever. And it was, don't get me wrong, but afterward she wanted to go to
a hotel. I said 'okay', so we went and we fucked. It wasn't all fireworks
and orchestra-playing or whatever the movies make it out to be, but it was
nice. We dated for a few months, and I thought I was really falling for
her, but just when I was gonna tell her I loved her, she dumped me. Said
she just wanted someone to give her some sexual experience so she wouldn't
be an amateur when she hooked up with the guy she really wanted. It hurt
bad, man. I really loved this girl, and she was just using me. I didn't
date anyone else while I was in high school out of fear that they'd just
use me too."
	"Wow, that's awful, Parker," Rhys said, moving from his bed to
Parker's. "Well I'm sure you'll get plenty of opportunities here at
college. And you don't have to worry about them using you for experience,
I'm sure they're all well versed in that aspect," Rhys said with a chuckle,
trying to lighten the mood.
	"Yeah," Parker said as he sat up and looked Rhys in the eye. "Hey
listen man...about what happened in the shower..."
	Rhys looked down at his feet as his face started to
redden. "...What about it? You said it was no big deal."
	"It totally isn't a big deal, man, I just...I just wanted to ask
you something. You said you've never been with a guy, right? Well...have
you thought about it before? I mean...I don't know, forget it," Parker said
as he turned away.
	"No," Rhys replied, "I haven't thought about it before...Have you?"
	"...Once or twice. I've never done anything either, though. To be
honest...I was kinda hoping I'd get the chance while here at school. You
know how they say college is all about experimenting or whatever. 'Finding
yourself' and all that jazz."
	"Oh..." was all Rhys could say. He was taken aback by his
roommate's reply and didn't know what to think of it. Was Parker suggesting
something? And why was Rhys' heart starting to beat uncontrollably in that
moment?
	"So I just thought that maybe...considering what happened in the
shower...maybe I'd get the chance sooner than expected...with someone I've
already established a friendship with..."
	It clicked in Rhys' mind. Parker wanted to experiment with him. A
whirlwind of emotions raced through Rhys' head. He couldn't decided what he
should do, but he stood up to try to steady his thoughts.
	"Woah, man, I'm sorry, please don't freak out, just forget I even
mentioned anything about it, please. I don't want to make thin-"
	Before Parker could finish his sentence, Rhys grabbed hold of him
and pulled him to his feet so that they were almost eye to eye. At that
moment, Rhys decided what he would do. He curled one arm around Parker's
lower back and held the other up to Parker's cheek. As he slowly leaned
closer to Parker, overcome by a formerly hidden desire for his roommate, he
noticed a twinkle in Parker's eye right before their lips met in a
beautiful, intimate kiss that seemed to last forever. Fireworks flew and
the orchestra played.
