Cultural Exchange Program
There was something so sexy to Stephen Doyle about watching some kind of strange, unassuming creature exploring its environment while having taken over the body of another human. âAmazing,â said the creature who had, just a few weeks ago, been his college roommateâa young man named Gabriel, a 2nd generation mixed race guy with roots in just about every race, though he usually just referred to himself as Latino.
Stephen didnât talk to Gabe much; though he did have to admit he was quite the looker, and certainly a bit of a charmer; he just knew vague details about the guy after skimming through Gabrielâs application for the cultural exchange program. Gabe had asked for his help during the process (Stephen was trying to become a lawyer and had plenty of experience scouring through long and dry papers).
What program? Well...
The year was about 2032. Mankind was no longer alone. Though the past few decades had been turbulent with the threat of nuclear annihilation, invasion, broken treaties, and a dinner party that nearly lead to the end of all sentient life on the planet, the world had finally calmed down. For the first time in years, species big and small were able to take each otherâs hands and move forward into the future.
Part of that step was the Cultural Exchange Program throughout universities on all corners of the world. Due to his financial situation (and what Stephen assumed was undiagnosed ADHD), Gabriel had chosen to take part in such a program to reap the benefits they offered. And the result was a parasiteâno, Stephen shook his head as he tried to eliminate such a word from his vocabulary while describing the Pommeterians. Too much blood had been spilled on both sides, and to not honor that was to allow those sacrifices to go on in vain. The results were a symbiotic race of people that used hosts bodies in order to experience the world and build their societies. While initially hostile in peace treaties, the voluntary hosts from humanity and the willingness to co-exist allowed for peace to come for the two species.
And for people like Stephen, a new way to explore oneâs sexuality. âSo, c-can he hear what youâre doing and saying?â he asked, eager to learn more. He couldnât tear his eyes away from Gabrielâs body as it looked down at himself, inspecting the various limbs and muscles he now controlled.
The Pommeterian stopped and stared at Stephen. This being the first time in a human body, it was not particularly good at facial expressions yet. That was fine, Stephen found those difficult to master as well. âI⌠Hmm⌠perhaps we should share names, first,â he said. âI will be your roommate for the rest of the semester, after all.â
Gabrielâs hands were trembling. What was he going to do? Stephen stealthy grabbed a pillow and placed it on his lap to hide erection. The anticipation was killing him.
Then, Gabrielâs body brought its fingers together and raised it up about halfwayâjust about his stomachâpalm facing down. âMy name is Argophlux, of the Shayd Clan. Th-This is a handshake, correct? Iâve seen a few videos and clips about your customs, s-soâŚâ Although his face and voice remained a bit flat, there was no denying the slight blush that crept upon his cheeks, nor how red his ears were turning. "Now I'm starting to realize that those videos may not have been entirely accurate."
Stephenâs cock softened, but his heart began to flutter. âHere. Let me.â With a gentle demeanor like a knight from a fairy tale, Stephen held Gabrielâs hand and carefully guided Argophlux through the proper steps. âLike this,â he said, fingers intertwined as they shook their hands together.
âAhhâŚ! Itâs⌠it feels so quaint. So good. Feeling our palms connected, it's as if our souls are becoming entangled!" Argophlux exclaimed. Stephen nodded, his cheeks flushed. "You have my thanks, my friend.â The flatness in his voice remained, but Stephen could sense the sincerity from him. âAnd your nameâŚ?â
âStephen Doyle, but just Stephen is fine. To be honest, Iâve heard so much about your kind, but seeing you now⌠Yeah, youâre just like us.â
âLike you?â
Stephen nodded. âYeah, like I donât really get any of these people, either.â He gestured towards the outside window, where people were hanging around the large lawn near the student union. Summer was stubbornly hanging on, and so most of the student body was enjoying the warm weather and perfectly going through the motions of interactions with not even a hint of difficulty that Stephen usually had. âHonestly, itâs fascinating looking at you. It's like I'm looking... no, never mind," he said, shaking his head.
To call Argophlux a mirror would just be pure arrogance. He didn't know him well enough to make such a comparison. But, seeing how similar they were⌠it felt as though Stephen could see another spectrum of himself, like when light goes through a prism and allows one to see the entire spectrum of color. Somehow, it felt like Stephen could see something about himself he hadn't quite understood until now.
And not only that⌠he rose from his chair and crawled on Gabeâs bed. He approached Argophlux, who didnât withdraw or even seem the slightest bit uncomfortable. Their noses were almost touching. Their chest, rising and falling in an anxious rhythm, were almost in sync. Slowly, Stephen raised and hand and cupped Gabe's cheek.
âCan Gabriel see what youâre doing?â asked Stephen.
Argophlux nodded. âYes, and he speaks to me. He tells me many things. And one such thing is that he wants you to keep going.â Stephen froze at those words. He stared deep into Gabeâs eyes, and he couldâve sworn the real Gabe stare back with a deep, longing look. A trick of the light, or was Stephen just seeing what he wanted to see?
Argophlux took the lead. He tackled Stephen onto the bed and pinned him down with Gabeâs body. Now the two were panting as they stared at each other, their crotches touching and the heat fully shared between them. âIâve seen clips of it, once,â said Argophlux, Gabeâs lips quivering as he spoke. âI-Iâve always found humans⌠so fascinating. I-Interesting. I⌠Iâve been wanting⌠to touch you all. To feel these sensations youâve had the privilege of feeling.â With one hand, he traced Stephenâs lips. âHave you ever kissed anyone before? Can you show me how?â
Stephen nodded. âIâll show me many things. You and Gabe both.â
Their legs intertwined, and Argophlux lowered Gabeâs body so he was resting on Stephenâs. Their lips touched, and soon their clothes were discarded so they could feel the otherâs flesh in their raw, passionate, and unorthodox three-way.
Humanity and the Pommeterians had many things to learn from each other indeed.
Apologies for being so busy last week and not uploading a story. Got some stuff sitting in the back I've been working on. Going to try and get some of those projects I've been trying to get done going soon. Thank you for your patience!
