Timothy’s Terrible Prompt Stories - 65. Prompt 593 What did you promise this time?

“What did you promise this time? To get your parents to agree to not only a sleep-over, but us sharing your bed, I mean?”

Eric and I were lying next to each other on his bed and talking. We were both wearing briefs and T-shirts, and we had separate comforters covering us. His mom had stuck her head in to say good night, and I was amazed at her casual acceptance of me sharing Eric’s bed.

“She did try to suggest I should get the cot from the basement, but I told her not to bother. We wouldn’t be doing anything we hadn’t done before, and if we did, Rob would be sure to walk in at the most embarrassing moment. She actually admitted Rob was a pretty good deterrent.”

“Wow. What did Rob say?”

“Oh, he just laughed and said he didn’t mind being our chaperone. Well, he didn’t use that word. He said: ‘Yeah, I can do the job of…what’s that word starting with C?’ And my mom said: ‘Chaperone.’ And Rob nodded, but winked at me behind her back.”

“Well, he wasn’t going to say cockblock, was he? No one says that in front of a parent.” We both laughed.

“Nope, not when he just got out of being grounded. He teased me about it later. He said it would only be fair if he did surprise us.”

“Because you walked in on him the other morning.” I laughed like crazy when Eric told me the story, but mostly because he’d acted out the faces and reactions of both of them amazingly. No wonder he’s good on the stage.

“Yeah, but I told him he’d have to find other ways to learn about gay sex. I’m not doing show or tell just to satisfy his curiosity.”

“Do you think he’s bi?”

“No, I think he’s too nosy for his own good. But, he may simply be open-minded. You never know with Rob.”

“I think he’s lucky to have you as his brother. But of course, I think I’m even luckier you’re my boyfriend.”

“Rob’s lucky? Usually, people think he’s the ideal brother.”

“A lot of siblings would resent an older brother like Rob, who hogs the limelight and sticks his nose into your business. But you tolerate his behavior with only a bit of yelling now and then. Oh, and the occasional punch. I’ll never forget Rob doubling over in pain after that well-deserved fist in his guts.”

“I was so furious with him, I didn’t think. It was lucky no teacher saw me.”

“Oops, yes, you might have gotten in trouble.”

“If I have to get in trouble, I’d prefer it to be for something worthwhile.”

“Hmm, like a blowjob backstage?”

“I can’t believe we got away with that.”

“It was fast and hot, but I agree we shouldn’t risk it again.”

“It would be dreadful if the GSA President and his boyfriend were suspended for having sex on school premises.”

“Are you truly OK with running for office, Eric? It’s not just me and Rob and everyone pushing you?”

“It’s something you might as well learn about me, babe. I need a while to get used to new ideas and plans, but once I do, I go hardcore.”

“Like with the whole Prom thing?”

“Yeah, sorry about….”

I put my fingers on his lips to stop him. “No need to keep apologizing. It was as much my fault for assuming something you didn’t mean.”

“No harm done. Next time we’ll know to ask questions to prevent misunderstandings.”

A few heated kisses sealed our promise, but I made sure to pull back before we got too excited.

“About the GSA, what can I do to help? Apart from supporting you in general.”

“Lots of things. Any speeches I give I want you to help me write, and I want to try them out on you first. We can talk about ideas for events, like inviting a prominent LGBT person to give a talk, or arrange workshops on how to counter bigotry effectively.”

“Jasper can lead the one on how to counter with wit and making them look silly.”

“And you can show a few simple self-defense moves which might get people out of danger.”

I frowned. “I’m not sure we’ll get school permission for that. But maybe if we got together with some of the cheerleaders and made it something for girls in general, straight or not, we could invite someone professional and tag on a session for guys.”

“See, that’s why we’ll make a good team. You point out obstacles but try to find solutions. I tend to get bogged down in worry about why it won’t work.”

“I do as well, so I need you to pull me out of that too. Jasper normally kicks my butt when I procrastinate, but in return I try to prevent him from rushing into things.”

“Like you slow me down.”

“You don’t rush…oh, right.” His attempt at a sexy leer made me laugh, as I realized what he meant.

“So how come Jasper didn’t kick your butt about dating me, like you did with him and Carolyn?”

“He did, once he knew I liked you. Right after Rob provoked me.”

“You never told him? Why?”

“If I told Jasper, he’d either persuade me to try and ask you out, or approach you on my behalf. I was too scared of having my dreams shattered if you were straight.”

I blushed when Eric facepalmed himself and shook his head in disbelief. But then he pushed the comforters aside, rolled on top of me and kissed me senseless.

“I like the idea of you having dreams about dating me. We’re gonna make all our fantasies come true.”

“OK.” I wanted to say more, but I got lost in the blue eyes gazing at me with more devotion than I’d ever dared to imagine.

“You’re agreeing just like that? Without knowing what fantasies I have.” Now there was a naughty glint in the look he gave me.

“I love you, Eric.”

He couldn’t have looked more stunned if he’d been hit in the head by a ball. Half a second later, a huge grin lit up his whole face.

“I love you too, Nelson. But you know that.”

“Yeah, it’s wonderful and scary at the same time.”

He slid down next to me, and while I missed the warmth of his body, it was a sensible move, since our dicks had reacted immediately. If he had stayed on top, I would have been too tempted to grind one out.

“Are we also moving too fast with the L word?”

“Maybe if you only consider the time we’ve been dating, but we had feelings for each other long before that, right?” I took his hand, and he smiled at me.

“It’s more than like or lust, I care about you, I think about you all the time, so the only L word left must be love.”

“Nicely put. You have a persuasive way with words.”

“Oh, yeah? Hmm, what else can I persuade you to do?”

I guess we were lucky Rob didn’t make an appearance. But at least Eric had told his parents the truth about not going any further than mutual BJs.
