*****************

It is utterly amazing how four years had come and gone so fast. It had been
almost two months since we graduated from college and Corey and I were
adjusting to our new place and new jobs. I had just finished my training
and would start really working after the holidays. Corey enjoyed his job
despite some very crazy hours. Kris and I tried to talk at least three
times a week and so far we had kept up the routine. He usually called me
when he was going or coming from supervising off season workouts for the
football guys he was coaching. Colt had found a job, yet still I don't
think it was exactly what he wanted to be doing.

As I arrived home on Tuesday with the Fourth on Thursday, I got out of my
car and could feel the heat rising from the pavement, even though it was
after six. Just as I was about to climb the stairs to our second floor
apartment, I saw Shawn exiting his place across the parking lot. I waved
and hollered at him. He looked up and began walking towards me in his tank
top and baggy gym shorts.

"How's it going?" he asked me.

"I just finished my last training session," I replied.

"That's pretty sweet," Shawn said. "When's Corey getting home?"

"I think about seven, but he never knows if he might have to stay a few
minutes later."

I opened the door and felt the rush of the cool air. No doubt Corey had
left the air con on at the regular temperature despite our talk earlier to
conserve money by turning it up when we left.

"I hope you don't mind me chilling here for a little while. I really was
about to go and just get out of my apartment," Shawn said, taking a seat
while I tossed down my wallet, keys and phone on our breakfast bar.

"Shawn, you know I don't mind at all. It's great seeing you..."

"Yeah. I thought we'd see each other a lot. All I see is Bruce. I rarely
see Scott as well," Shawn said.

"I know," I said. "Excuse me for a minute and let me change."

"No problem," he said. I walked into my bedroom and quickly changed into
some shorts. "Your place is really rounding into to shape, but hell, I knew
it would. You need to come to my place and help us out!"

I came out, "I get the hint. You need a gay man to help you decorate
things, though I'm not very good."

"I didn't mean it like that. You know I never see you like that," Shawn
stated.

I smiled, "I know. I was just joking with ya."

"Say, when are Kris and Colt coming?" he asked.

"Oh, I suspect they'll be here tomorrow about this time."

"Are their girls coming?"

"That I don't know. They are welcome to come if they want to."

"Matt, between us, I hope their girls don't come," Shawn stated. "I don't
know about you but I miss the fuck out of college already. I miss seeing
all the guys almost every day. Every weekend we had something to do. Hell,
I even miss dragging Ethan and Cody's ass to bed on the weekends."

"Join the crowd," I said. "I don't have to tell ya how hard of a transition
it has been for me with Kris. The guy was part of my life for about 8
years. I miss everything you said, but I don't miss the two years studying
my ass off."

"Now that I don't miss, but I'd do it all over again if things could be the
same," Shawn said. There was a loud knock on my door. I went over to answer
it and saw Scott standing there with a towel around his waist, looking
fairly wet.

"You mind?" Scott asked.

"Of course not. You're in luck. Shawn is here," I said, shutting the door.

"Yeah fucker! Where do you keep your ass these days?" Shawn hollered.

"I was wondering the same shit," Scott said.

"Matt and I were just talking about how we miss college," Shawn said.

Scott stood in the kitchen which was just off our living room and continued
to dry off. "Why? I don't."

"Liar," I said, turning around. "You miss it."

"Oh, a little, but that was just the start of great things in all of our
lives. I know I'll keep in touch with y'all, but all of us have new lives
and have to move on. Things are always changing."

"You know Scott, fuck that!" Shawn said. "Keep telling yourself that and
one day you might believe it."

"I admit things are changing, but I do miss everyone, including you. Admit
you miss all we had going on and the friendship we had. Name one new friend
you've made since you've moved here," I said to Scott.

Scott laughed, "You got me there. I've met some people."

"We all have, but it's just different," Shawn said just before another
knock on the door. "I bet it's Bruce."

Scott laughed, "This does remind me of old times."

I went to the door. I opened it up and saw two smiling guys standing in
front of me with bags in their hands. One big set of arms extended towards
me.

"Bro, we came early," Kris said, hugging me.

"We said fuck it and just left," Colt said. I turned and saw Shawn and
Scott standing there. We exchanged hugs in the doorway.

"Bros, it's fucking hot out here so let us at least get in the door," Kris
said.

"This is such a great surprise," I said.

"We knew it would be. It was tough not calling you and letting you know. It
was actually Kris's idea on Monday," Colt said while we walked into my
living room.

"Looking good, Matt. I wouldn't have expected anything less though," Kris
said, walking over to grab the cruise picture of all of us I had sitting on
an end table.

"Kris, the three of us were talking. Scott is a fucking liar and said he
didn't miss everyone," Shawn said.

"Even though you didn't ask me, I do more than I imagined," Colt stated. "I
love being with Faith, but it's different. I miss all the great times we
had."

"I agree one thousand percent. I see Colt almost other every day, but not
like I thought I would. It's almost like we have to call each other to come
over," Kris said. "Matt, Corey's working I guess? I got so caught up I
didn't realize he wasn't here."

"He is. He should be home any minute now," I replied.

"I was just saying it was time we move on," Scott said. "Right now with us
here, I guess I do miss it a little."

"Right now, I miss it a lot," I said.

"No doubt. Your big smile hasn't left your face since we got here," Colt
said.

"How is everyone doing?" Kris asked while I went to grab their bags and
move them to our spare bedroom.

Scott told them about his marketing job while Shawn spoke about his job
with an big insurance company. I returned and grabbed a bar stool, hoping
Corey would be home any minute and would not miss much.

I was barely seated when I heard the front door open. "Hey Matt, is that
Kris's... oh my fucking God!" Corey said, spotting Kris and Colt. It was
nice seeing the big guys embrace, even though it had been just a month. "I
thought you were coming tomorrow."

"We were initially but figured what the hell," Colt stated. "I hope you
don't mind."

"Are you kidding? I need this after my day at work," Corey stated. "It
feels just like old times when I come in late with everyone there. What did
I miss?"

"Nothing," I said and got a sweet kiss. "Scott was saying how he didn't
miss..."

"I've retracted that completely now. Say, has anyone heard from Ted? I read
he had a great off season and the Cowboys are impressed," Scott said.

I raised my arm, "He called me last week."

"You dog," Kris said. "What did he say?"

"We didn't talk much about how things were going with his playing. He was
telling me about the place he got in Arlington. Then he was interested in
how everyone was making it," I replied.

"It's amazing he'd call the gay guy before anyone else," Shawn said.

"Bro, Ted and Matt were the closest among us. I don't know what it was but
he seemed to cling to Matt," Kris stated.

"I think he wanted some dick," Scott laughed.

"That's the last thing he wanted," I replied. "I guess I rarely mentioned
football and made him feel like a regular guy, plus I did help him out with
Reese."

"Colt, where are Chase, Tabor and his buddies living this year?" Scott
asked.

"Where else? They're moving into our complex, but in the last building,"
Colt replied. "Now I have to find a different place to live."

"Bro, it'll be cool," Kris said.

"Hey, since we're all here, why don't we go out tonight?" Shawn asked.

"Bro, I have a better idea, Not! Who wants to spend five bucks on a beer or
even more on a mixed drink when we can have `em here?" Kris replied.

"Colt, have you been talking to him?" Corey asked and laughed.

"No, but I like his thinking," Colt replied with a big smile. "It does make
sense, besides someone would have to volunteer to drive."

"I wanna just talk," Kris said.

"Sorry I mentioned it. I guess I could make a beer run if you want," Shawn
said.

"Now that's better," Kris said.

"I'll go with ya. Shawn, you can call Bruce and tell him we're all here,"
Scott said.

"I can do that," Shawn said. He took our orders but it was the same as
always. The worst part was Corey had to get up the next day for work, as
did Scott, while I was off until after the holiday. Shawn and Scott left
with Shawn on the phone to Bruce.

"Damn, it is so good to see you two," Corey said.

"Why? Is there trouble?" Colt asked.

"No," I replied. "We saw each other every day for 3 years straight
almost. It takes time to break away."

"Tell me about it, bro," Kris said and took off his shirt. "How is it now
really without us for you?"

Corey shrugged his shoulders, "Not much has changed to be honest. There has
been a little adjusting for us, but we're doing great. How is it for
y'all?"

"You talk about adjustments. Try living with a woman," Colt replied.

"Bros, it is some different shit. All the makeup, the clothes... damn!"
Kris said.

"But it's all good?" I asked with a smile.

"It's all good, but you know how it is if you're talking about sex. The
littlest thang will be an excuse, but when she's on fire, it is fucking
awesome," Colt said with a smile.

"I know what you mean. I know now when Matt wants us to fuck. I'll come
home and he'll have dinner for me and then he's all over me," Corey said.

"Please Corey," I said. "Monday, you walked in the door and attacked me."

"The boy wanted some dick," Kris laughed. "Now you can just fuck wherever
you want without us around. Do you go around nude much?"

I smiled and looked at Corey, "Maybe more, especially more than we did the
last semester. There will be days when I just strip after work and don't
give a fuck. I think Corey likes that."

"Damn right I do. Even after four years I still love seeing his hot ass and
big dick," Corey said and kissed me.

"I knew you would," Colt said. "Man, y'all been going at it almost four
years now. That shits hard to believe."

"It is," I said. "The best part is it still hasn't gotten old to me."

There was another knock at our door. We hollered it was open. In came Bruce
with Aaron.

"Damn," Kris said and stood. "I expected Bruce but not you?"

"I decided to drive over and see Bruce. Then I found out y'all were here,"
Aaron said in his shorts and tee. Kris hugged them both, as did the rest of
us.

"We hear Shawn's making his beer run," Bruce said.

"Of course. Bro, how is it living with him?" Kris asked.

"Actually pretty good. We have different schedules so we don't see that
much of each other except on weekends," Bruce replied.

Aaron and Bruce took a seat and began catching us up on their life after
college. Aaron was still job searching, which made Colt feel better, even
though he had one. Bruce was happy with his job working for a chemical
company. Shawn and Scott returned with our haul of drinks and passed them
out.

Kris held his beer bottle up, "Here's to the best friends money can't buy,
great years and better years ahead for each of us."

We clanged our bottles together and agreed with Kris's toast. Now it really
did seem all was right again in the world. We were back together as one and
enjoying being around each other so much, like we had so many times during
our college days. To me, it was rather surreal and almost like a
dream. There were lots of stories of our past and none about our current
lives as graduates. No one really drank much; instead we were there to be
around each other again.

About midnight, the gathering broke up since it was just the beginning of
the holiday. Just as soon as Shawn, the last one, left, Kris stood and
removed his shorts and underwear. He looked at the three of us. We laughed
and removed our clothes as well.

"Tonight was fucking tight," Kris said. "It was well worth coming early
for."

"It was and was such a great surprise," I said leaning against Corey.

"Corey, don't let us keep you up," Kris said.

"I'm sleepy but I'm not missing a minute of this. I can sleep once y'all
are gone," Corey said.

"Let me say, no one has really changed, or was it me?" Colt asked, sitting
in our recliner relaxed and still looking great as ever with more chest
hair appearing.

"I didn't think so. Hell, it's only been two months," Kris said.

"Yeah, but people change in the blink of an eye," Corey said.

"The shame of the night was we really didn't catch up on everyone else," I
said.

"Bro, we have four days here to do that. We first had to catch each other
up on our own shit first," Kris said and started laughing. "Tell me we
ain't gonna do this shit every time we get together?"

We started laughing with him. "At one point I wondered if we were now all
30 instead of 22 or 23," Colt said laughing. "Fuck we sounded old telling
all of our stories."

"To me it was like we never parted ways. It's funny how Matt and I never
see Scott, Bruce or Shawn," Corey stated.

"Like Colt and I never see Myles or Dillon," Kris said.

"Yeah, but my ass has run into Andrea twice," Colt said.

"How does she look?" I asked.

"The same to me. She still acts the same," Colt replied.

"Do you ever regret what you did?" Corey asked.

"Never ever do I regret it. I loved being with Kris and having all the
incredible sex we had. The way I see it is I'd have never met Faith," Colt
replied.

"Bros, Faith is almost too good for Colt. She treats him like gold," Kris
said.

"Just like Melissa does to your ass," Colt said.

"That makes me so happy that both of you have found great women," I
said. "Speaking of, how on earth did you two get away without them this
weekend?"

Kris smiled, "They knew they'd be in the background the entire time. They
know how we are and saw it plenty over the last year. That's what makes
them that much more special."

"Amen," Colt said. "I think it will give both of us a good break. It lets
them do stuff without us."

"Y'all need to keep them around for a long time," Corey stated and yawned.

"Okay, maybe we should head to bed. We'll have plenty of time together
after tomorrow," Kris stated.

We headed off to bed. Despite what I wanted, I saw Corey was rather tired
and needed his rest. His big arms always made me feel so secure and safe
wrapped around me while he fell asleep. My mind was going like crazy, plus
it was exciting for us to be back together.

I was up just after Corey left and went to start the coffee I had grown to
love. While sitting at my computer and having coffee, I heard the bedroom
door open and close. Kris's hot naked body came walking towards me with his
blond hair going all different directions. He came up and kissed me on the
lips.

"Bro, despite us not living together I still love you so much," Kris stated
and sat next to me.

I closed my laptop. "I love you too. I miss you so much."

"Since it's just us and we're face to face, how are things really going
between you and Corey now?"

"Kris, I love him more and more every day. We do argue some, but it's all
so trivial. He's worried sick about not contributing equally to our
finances..."

"Wait just a fucking minute. He's worried and not you?"

"I worry about other shit," I replied and laughed. "I make more than he
does or will. He feels like he's not providing for me like he should be. I
had to set things straight and let him know we are now truly in a
partnership."

"The manly macho side came out in him. I'd feel the same way, too. It is
something that is beat into our head how the man is the provider."

"What the hell am I then?"

Kris laughed, "You're right. You are pretty much a top in this
relationship."

"That's not the point at all, Kris. Nowadays it takes two incomes to
survive with the prices out there. There are marriages where the wife makes
more."

"Now you're saying you're the wife," Kris laughed.

"Tell me how many wives have this big shit between their fucking legs," I
said laughing and grabbing my soft cock.

"Don't rub it in," Kris said.

"I'm not," I said. "I'm saying we are partners."

"But partners contribute equally."

"Have you been talking to Corey? He said the same exact thing. We are very
much equal, no matter how much more I contribute. Now, what I have is his
and what he has is mine. Corey would never take advantage of the
situation."

"Let's hope not, bro. If he does, I'll be here in a minute and will kick
his ass," Kris said.

After we talked, I got us some cereal to eat. While we were eating Colt
came down the hall. He really shocked me and kissed me on the lips.

"Damn, this feel so good for us to be back together," Colt said. "Matt,
why'd you have to go and ruin everything?"

"My thoughts exactly, bro. It's all Matt's fault we're separated," Kris
said with Colt grabbing some coffee.

"Get real. There was little I could do about the situation!" I said loudly.

"Calm down. I was just fucking with your ass," Colt said and patted my bare
ass.

"It's still a very sore subject with me, Colt. It was THE hardest decision
I've ever made in my life, but one I had to make for mine and Corey's
future," I stated.

"We know that, bro," Kris said. "Chill. Blame me for taking the first job
that came down the pipe."

"Shit happens, alright!" Colt said. "It's working out okay and it forced
Kris and me to live with our girls."

"No, you weren't forced," I said.

"Maybe we did jump the gun there a little," Kris stated. "There's no
turning back now. I'm very happy with the way it turned out."

"I am too," Colt said. "My job isn't the best in the world, but it is
work."

I poured Colt some cereal and saw our food supply was running low. My plan
was to go today and stock up but their surprise had caught me off guard as
far as food goes. We sat there talking when Colt heard his phone
ringing. He raced back to get it while Kris and I sat in the living room.

Colt came back shaking his short brown hair. "That was Chase. It's
official. I'm going to be an uncle."

"What?" Kris screamed loudly while my mouth was open wide.

"Yeah, Chase fucked the girl at the wrong time. Now his ass is about to pay
for that shit! I told him and told him no matter what the girl says to
cover that shit up. Did he listen? Fuck no! Now he's got some girl
pregnant!" Colt raged.

"I didn't know he had a girlfriend," I stated.

"That's the kicker with this shit!" Colt continued to rage with the veins
in his neck popping out.

"Calm down, bro. There are worse things in the world," Kris said.

"There's not! He barely dated her and was broke up with her until she
called him last week to say she thought she was pregnant," Colt said as he
took a seat and inhaled loudly. "It will be a very expensive lesson for him
to learn. He always bragged about how much pussy he was getting. Now he was
in tears on the phone. I told him that was the price he paid for messing
with fire."

"I hate that for him, but it sounds like it was bound to happen one
day. Sort of makes me glad I'm gay," I said.

"Let's all get real here for a second. Chase is 20 years old and the girl
is..." Kris said.

"20 as well, I think," Colt added.

"They're adults. It's not good, but they're both adults and knew what they
were doing. It takes two people to make a child, so they're both to blame
here. Right now, it may seem like the worst thing ever, but it could turn
out okay in the end," Kris stated.

"It could, but I feel sorry for the child more than either one of their
sorry asses," Colt said. "I know who will raise that kid; either my mom or
her mom since they're in college. I told Chase he'd better find a fucking
job today and support that kid."

"All I'm saying right now is I'm glad it wasn't any of us, even though I do
love Chase like he's my brother," Kris said. "Let's try and move on. I was
thinking how I'd really love to see where Corey works and maybe hit the
weights for a minute."

"Ummm... okay. It is pretty sweet, and it would get our minds off of this,"
I said.

"Yeah, let's do that so I let off some steam," Colt stated.
