mike getting stupid drunk in his first year of college and calling will, obviously, and rambling at him, and willβs actuallyβ¦ never witnessed mike this drunk, so he doesnβt know what to make of it when mike suddenly informs him will should let him suck his dick, heβd be really good at it, please, please, please, cβmon will.
will laughs at first, in disbelief, not really finding it funny, but mike insists he means it. and it has to be some sort of fucked up joke, and will feels hurt and angry but alsoβ¦ mikeβs not like that, and he sounds so fucking earnest, always gets a bit unfiltered when heβs tipsy but never like this. so will just quietly says mikeβs drunk, and they can talk about it another day (just to get him to leave it be), tells him to get some sleep.
a couple days pass and thereβs radio silence from both of them. will doesnβt want to call first, despite having said theyβd talk, worried it may seem like he expects anything from mike. but just when he starts getting antsy, thinking maybe it was a weird joke, or else mikeβs freaking out too, mike calls.
the conversation starts off normal enough that will thinks mike mustβve somehow forgotten. until mike suddenly drops, βlisten, about the other day,β and will has a heart attack. but mike just says heβs sorry for making things weird, and heβs sorry he disappeared, and they can just forget he said anything.
and will doesnβt want to assume, really, but he has to askβ¦ βmike, did youβ¦ did you actuallyβ¦ mean that? or was it a joke, orβ¦ or, i dunno, aββ
βiβ i meant it. theβ¦ offer. i meant it and iβm sorry if thatβs weird but i justβ¦. i wouldnβt have said anything if i hadnβt been totally hammered, thatβs why i neverβ¦ it was really stupid, and iβm sorry, will, iβm really sorry, but i donβt want you to think i wasβ¦ making fun. or something.β
βsoβ¦ youβ¦ want toβ¦β
βyes, will, jesus, i wanna suck dick. yours, preferably.β
will flushes. βlike, to try it, orβ¦?β
βno. well, yeah, but not just toβ¦β he sighs sharply, and will can almost feel his breath gusting through the phone. βiβm gay, okay? i havenβtβ¦ i was planning on telling people eventually but i havenβt yet. and this isnβt exactly how i wanted toβ¦β he trails off, then says, quiet but weighty, βyouβre the first to know.β
βoh. woah.β the idea that mike is comfortable enough in it to have plans to come out, to say the word out loud so naturally, is mind-bending β how long has he known?
βyeah. sorry if that makes thingsβ¦ weird. meβ¦ liking you and stuff. i know youβre, like, over it, butββ
βwhat?β mike suddenly realises his stupid assumption β that will would see his obvious romantic interest within the sexual desire. βoh jesus, oh shit, fuck, forget i said thatββ
βmike! mike, itβs okay! i like you too.β
thereβs a very long pause as mike wraps his head around years of mixed signals. will feels tempted to say sorry. he waits.
finally, ββ¦seriously?β
βcan i visit you right now? toβ to talk more?β
βoh my god. uh, yes.β
mike can hear the smile in willβs voice and flushes. βthe ulterior motive is that obvious, huh?β
βpretty obvious,β will agrees.
βi really do want to talk. thereβs a lot to say.β
βthere is,β will agrees mildly.
βi also really wanna suck you off.β it comes out in a rush.
βoh, iβve heard,β will says. βyou were pretty clear about that.β
βoh, god,β mike groans. βoh god, i totally said a bunch of embarrassing shit, didnβt i?β
βi guess that depends on what you see as embarrassingβ¦β he only has the courage to say it because itβs mikeβs own words. βdo you want to be my good boy and choke yourself on my cock?β
a whine tumbles through the phone, quickly stifled. will listens to mike breathe unsteadily for a few seconds, then hears a breathy βiβm leaving right now.β
will sits still holding it by his ear, shocked anticipation swelling with the dial tone as a giddy grin creeps across his face.
