Evenings Together Ch. 02

Disclaimer from the author:

Hey everyone, I'm new to writing, but wanted to put forward some work I've enjoyed making. I intended to get into way more stuff here but got carried away with the characters, nothing really horny here so I totally get if you want to skip to next chapter. Regardless, hope you enjoy the read and feel free to reach out with questions/recommendations/thoughts/ feedback. All characters depicted are fictional and are ages 21+

Also small note, the 2 month gap between this and the last chapter involved writing a dissertation, so apologies for the delay, but also it got me a degree.

Enjoy!

Chapter 2

Luke lay in his bed looking up at the ceiling in the dark room and idly touching himself. He wasn't really trying to achieve anything, but he felt too distracted and horny to let himself go to sleep. This libido limbo he'd found himself in was partially his own fault, he knew, but it was also very much more the fault of the gorgeous hunk of a man who'd ruined his throat and every orgasm since several nights ago. Every evening since his hook-up with Jason he'd masturbated furiously to the memory of their encounter, but after three nights of this it just wasn't working anymore.

His body ached for the real thing, and simply trying to visualize the beautiful penis that had rocked his world and left his jaw aching was apparently not enough for his own greedy dick. Three days had come and gone with Luke relishing the memories of his Friday night and now his imagination was getting the better of him. He didn't just want to experience the blowjob again; he wanted to experience more! He wanted to fondle Jason's chest, he wanted to squeeze his ass, he wanted to slide his own cock down Jason's throat and spend an evening with him focused on his own pleasure.

And as Luke tried now to bring to life all these fantasies his body had responded by calling him a little bitch for not reaching back out and refused to enable Luke's solo mission.

Sure it had just initially been a hookup, but Luke had genuinely enjoyed the time they'd spend getting drinks before hand. Jason had seemed like the kind of person who listened to a conversation with his heart and brain, not just his ears. He was handsome and attractive no question, but it was the quality time they'd spend that had allowed Luke to feel so comfortable getting into things so quickly. And not to mention the way Jason had grabbed his chin and made out with him... Luke shivered with the memory... it suggested to him that there was definitely a kinkier Jason deeper beneath the surface that Luke wanted to get to know.

Was he just catching feelings? It had been three months since his last "relationship" and one other hookup between that and Jason that hadn't gone anywhere, maybe Luke was just getting too invested in something Jason thought was purely a casual fling. Afterall, three days with no message from Jason on Grindr seemed to suggest so. Although Luke hadn't sent anything either. He supposed it did "take two to tango" and he could have just as easily reached out and asked to meet up again, but it felt weird to him somehow. The morning after Luke had been jumped awake to his 8:30 Saturday Lab alarm and scrambled in a frantic panic to get showered, ready, and out the door. Jason had just sat on the couch at first trying to catch his bearings Luke guessed, and had then gotten dressed and stood around awkwardly as Luke zipped around the room.

He'd offered to help, Luke considered, though he'd turned it down rather fast as "helping" in this scenario basically meant trying to bush Luke's teeth and tie Luke's shoelaces. They'd both left the studio and all Luke thought he had time for was a simple "goodbye" before locking the room behind them and dashing off to class. What should he have said?

"Hey, thanks for letting me suck your brains out through your cock, want to grab a sandwich after I'm done in lab?" It had felt awkward at the time, but now that Luke looked back on it, he probably should have asked something as simple as just that, "want to grab a bite?" and now three days had gone by and he felt like he'd lost his window. Once again though, it came to Luke that Jason hadn't messaged him either, so it probably was just a hookup for him.

Then the memory of the evening came back to Luke as he pondered it, and he thought back to the hesitation Jason seemed to show. First waiting in the doorway, not sure if he wanted to come in, then the look of genuine surprise on his face when Luke had initiated the blowjob. Luke wondered if Jason had actually not intended on "hooking up" really after their first meeting, and then a pit started to form in his stomach.

If it wasn't a hookup to Jason, what was it? A meetup? A DATE? Had he gone out on a date with this man and then sent him to radio silence for THREE DAYS? Luke felt the knot tie up in his stomach and rubbed his eyes with a sigh. If he had fucked up getting together with one of the most appealing men he'd met in a while it would be the dropped ball of the century. Now feelings of lament and shame started to trickle in through Lukes's mind. He sat up in bed and turned on the bedside lamp, then reached over and grabbed his phone.

The temptation was there to just open Instagram or TikTok and swipe himself to sleep but he couldn't shake that sinking feeling in his gut. He opened to Grindr. No new notifications. The sliver of hope that had started to take shape in his chest was squashed and he flopped back down into the bed deflated. Why wouldn't this stupid man just message him? Then he blinked. Why wouldn't stupid he just message this man? He started a justification for himself and stopped. He had no real, actual reason not to just send him a message. What could happen? Oh, would he not get to spend more time with Jason? So what he was experiencing right now.

Luke decided fuck it and typed out a message to send to him.

"Hey, are you still up?"

His fingers hit send then seized up and curled back like the limbs of a dead spider as he read what he'd sent. The douchiest, most fuckboy-esque message he could have possibly sent, he'd just sent to Jason. He dropped his phone to his side and threw his head back into the pillow. If Jason didn't think he was just looking for a fuck-buddy before he most certainly did now. Who else sends a hey you up text at 10:00pm on a Tuesday other than an asshole who just wants to get laid? Was that all Luke was now?

As his mind started to spiral into the rabbit hole of self-loathing, Luke felt a buzz at his side. No... had Jason just answered? Maybe it was a grade being put in, or a subscription email, or a spam text from a politician asking him for more money. Or maybe Jason had answered. Luke reached down and pulled up his phone, his hands almost trembling, and he saw the Grindr notification. He watched on with terror and dismay as his fingers opened the app pulled up Jason's dm, then felt a cool wave of relief crash over him like a tsunami as he read Jason's message.

"Yea I'm at the gym lol, I like to workout late. What's up :)"

Luke felt his heart beating in his throat looking at the message, then scrambled to try and respond.

"You know, just still up..." He almost typed sitting here bored before he realized that was yet another fuck-boy hookup line. Instead, he deleted that and sent out:

"I just couldn't get to sleep and was thinking about Friday night, sorry I was kind of an ass"

A minute went by before Jason responded, and Luke felt like crawling under the blankets and hiding from his phone when he saw the typing dots show up. How had he gone from so forward and into things in their first interaction to highschooler degrees of nervous wreck now? Maybe he had actually caught feelings, he thought to himself. He felt the buzz and read Jason's response.

"Wym lol? When were u an ass? I had a great time with u Friday night, and I meant to txt you again this weekend but so much shit got busy and I work on weekends, u seemed busy too that morning"

Luke though back to his cycloning around the dorm Saturday morning and smiled,

"Yea I have a lab on Saturday mornings, its stupid but the only one that would fit my schedule, sorry we didn't really do a proper goodbye"

"You're fine lol! I didn't expect to spend the night there anyways, I'm sorry I passed out so fast and just made myself at home at ur place"

With each message Luke read he felt like a weight was being pulled off his chest. He realized that he really wanted to see Jason again, horny outcomes or not, and decided to try to make it happen.

"You're always welcome at my place! I was wondering actually if you wanted to maybe grab drinks again? We could come back to mine, or yours, or could I maybe come workout with you sometime?"

The message felt too bold and rambling even as he sent it, but Luke hoped that he could find some way to recreate the evening they had enjoyed so much. Jason's response almost made him squeak out loud.

"Drinks on a Tuesday this late? Ur crazier than me lol, and I'm actually finishing up my workout rn, I usually go grab a pizza afterwards if u want to join me tho?"

A tingle went through Luke's whole body at the idea, and then an even bolder idea slid into his mind. He typed out another message.

"Any chance you'd want to get a pizza to go and we could share it here? Like I said you're always welcome"

Luke looked at the message and considered. Maybe it seemed a little desperate, or maybe it was really cool and smooth? He wasn't sure, but decided tonight was the night for bold action, and sent it.

"Sure! I think I remember how to find ur place but I'll text u just in case, see u soon"

Luke gaped at the dm in awe and felt an almost buzzing sensation in his head. Had he actually just managed to arrange a second meet-up with Jason? He looked up with a start at the mess of his dorm and dashed out of bed to start cleaning it. Compared to the absolute zero fucks he had given on their first evening, Luke was practically pleading to make a good impression and wanted to tidy as much as he could to try and make the living room more presentable.

Is Jason looking to hook up again, or is this just pizza and hangout? Luke wondered to himself as he cleaned. He knew what he hoped for, but didn't want to make a thing out of it by pressing the matter. He decided to just try and act naturally and let whatever happened happen. But honestly he was so excited just at the idea of them spending more time together that it didn't really matter.

Luke set to cleaning and organizing the living room of his dorm, and he mentally smacked himself for how messy it must have looked the last time Jason was over. He didn't want him to think he was a slob surely, and Luke knew he wouldn't want to date someone who left their living space a mess.

"Hang on..." he said out loud to himself. They weren't dating yet. This would be the second time they'd been together for fucks' sake, surely you couldn't call someone you've only seen once and might see once more a date. He started wondering then if he had seen Jason anytime else. They both went to the same campus, but Luke remembered from their conversation at the bar that Jason went to the other University that shared the campus, which was probably why they'd never seen each other in any classes or anything. But he might have passed Jason once or twice just walking around, or at the huge student union, or maybe somewhere else?

He wasn't certain, and he couldn't remember if Jason had said he lived on campus or somewhere nearby and commuted. Luke was sure the topic had come up when they were talking, because he remembered describing how he lived on campus and they could go back to his dorm after the drinks. But now he honestly couldn't recall what Jason had said. Maybe it was the alcohol's fault, but more likely Luke just needed to work on not being shitty listener. He decided it was a really good thing that the two of them would just be eating pizza and hanging out so he could really get to know him.

Ultimately Luke decided against tidying the bedroom, considering it a little extra incentive to keep this meeting PG and because he was running out of time before Jason would arrive. He was also actually looking forward to the Pizza given that he'd only eaten a small microwave dinner. Even if it was junk, a fresh and hot Pizza would probably seem like a delicacy to him.

After about 20 minutes, Luke heard a knocking at his door and rushed over to answer. He set the last garbage bag that he was holding down by the doorway and opened it with a nervous smile. Standing in front of him now was Jason in all of his post workout glory, a gym bag tossed over his shoulder and a medium pizza still steaming clutched in his hands.

Jason stood at 6'3'' easily, and had dark curly hair pulled back behind a workout headband. A strong brow and thick eyebrows rested above soft brown eyes and a soft square jaw. He wore a lose workout tank top that let Luke ogle his thick biceps and forearms, and slicky athletic shorts that couldn't decide if they wanted to hug Jason's crotch or ass tighter. As Luke walked his eyes further down the picture in front of him, he also appreciated the set of thighs he probably couldn't fit both hands around, and the calves strong enough to hold the whole frame up.

Luke took all this in with a flash and grinned at the man in the doorway.

"You look great in that outfit," he breathed out with desire, and once again mentally reprimanded himself for being too forward. He wouldn't let his horny get the best of him again. The man in front of him was not just gorgeous and athletic, but also obviously sweet enough to literally bring him food at 10:30 at night.

Jason chuckled at him, "what, no joke about not having any money and needing some other way to pay?" Luke knew he was staring too obviously and tried to blink away the dumb look that must have been plastered on his face.

"I should have had one lined up," Luke responded, trying quickly to think of something witty, "I... I didn't know they'd send their cutest delivery boy?" Luke managed to stammer out. Jason chuckled again, and this time Luke could swear a faint rosy tint flushed into his cheeks.

Luke finished inviting him inside and noticed Jason taking a small glance around the room. A pleasant look crossed his face and Luke felt insanely grateful that he'd taken the time to clean. Evidently Jason liked what he saw. He also seemed to glance then between the dining room table and the small coffee table in front of the couch, unsure of where to set down the food before Luke pulled him over to the former.

Keeping with his decided idea of a PG date, Luke didn't want to jump right back into the last place they'd been intimate, and the table would be more comfortable for eating anyways. He grabbed two plates and glasses from the cupboards, setting the table for the two of them, and asked Jason if he'd like anything besides water to drink.

At first Jason started to shake his head, then paused, and asked with hesitation, "do you have chocolate milk by any chance?"

Luke's immediate reaction was to chuckle at the childish idea, but he stopped himself and gave an apologetic smile instead.

"I don't think I've ever actually had chocolate milk in this place, I haven't even had it in years probably. I could run over to the seven-eleven and maybe grab some for you?" He answered with a slight shrug.

"No! It's totally fine," Jason assured him quickly. "It was a weird ask, don't even worry about it, water's great!"

Luke grabbed their glasses to fill them with ice and water from the fridge, but he could see Jason getting a little red. He didn't want him to feel awkward and embarrassed, Hell, I thought that was my job. He could feel tension starting to build as the moment dragged on and he decided to try and break it.

"Why chocolate milk? If you don't mind me asking."

Jason paused, grabbing some slices and portioning them out to their plates before saying, "Oh you know, its just kind of a good drink, especially after a workout."

Luke raised his eyebrows,

"Really?"

"Yea" Jason responded, "it's got a bunch of protein and carbs which helps a lot when you've worked out hard, and it just tastes pretty good you know?"

Luke smiled. He'd never actually heard about any of that, but it made sense, and Jason was right. Even though he hadn't had it in years, he remembered loving the taste as a kid.

"I'll make sure to stock up on some for next time then" Luke said to him, and Jason smiled up at him with a puffy grin, having just taken the first bit of pizza. After chewing a moment, Jason answered, "I would appreciate that a lot" and Luke sat down to join him. He dug into his own first piece and they started talking between bites, the conversation flowing as naturally again as it had back at the bar.
