Finding Another Like Me. - 22. Chapter 22

The next two months were a serious blur. My classes had gotten ten times harder as we only had a few weeks left before the AP exams. Then there was work, my bosses had fired the other guy that did my job meaning that I was left with crazy hours and training a new kid. He was a good kid, just a lot of work. Then there was also the Conor and Shannon situation. It had been tough getting them to tell their parents and listening to their parents freak out on them. However, in the end we were all working to get them ready. In a way the current situation has given both Shannon and Conor a chance to grow up. Finally there was Chris. I really felt like I was neglecting him, but luckily our trip was coming up and we would finally get to spend time with each other.

It was three days before April vacation and I stood half naked in the American Eagle dressing room with Lauren watching my every move.

“Those shorts make your ass look…amazing!” she laughed.

I turned to face her and looked over my shoulder to see my ass in the mirror, “Ehh.”

“I’m telling you,” she stood up next to me holding a shirt. “And with this shirt you will look fierce.”

I laughed. “Fine.”

“When did you start losing so much weight and getting do defined?” she asked.

I turned to face the mirror. It was true I had definetlly lost some weight over the past few months due to stress and also Chris’ influence on me. “Umm… probably when I got back with Chris. He’s got such a nice body, I guess I just making sure I can look just as good.” I smiled.

“Okay. Well back to this bathing suit,” holding up these sleek blue board shorts with stripes down the sides. “Also everything in this pile.”

I laughed. “Yup, there goes my months salary...”

“Oh and these tight baby blue briefs. They will look so hot on you!”

I just nodded realizing she’d cut me off no matter what I was going to say.

“So what are you feeling right now?”

I paused trying to think about it. “Excited. Ready. Nervous. Horny.” I chuckled.

However, Lauren seemed not to even hear my joke, “Nervous?”

I paused rethinking what I had said. “Well yeah…”

“Why?”

“Well besides spending a whole week alone with Chris, which we have never done…its who else is going to be on the cruise ship.”

“Oh?”

“Yeah well Chris explained the trip was basically a huge senior trip with most of his senior class going and that his parents had paid for his own cabin on the ship last spring. However, it was to be filled with his best friend Ben, his girl friend of the time, and Chris’ ex-Paige, but when Chris was outed both Paige and Ben walked out on him. They hate us…both. Though since it’s the classes senior trip they are still going… just will have another room….but on the same ship.”

“Oh…I see.” Lauren exclaimed.

I turned facing the mirror. “And I really don’t want to ruin this trip for Chris with any drama, but it’s inevitable. Its kind of ridiculous at least Ben won’t even talk to Chris, but maybe things can change?”

I looked in the mirror to see her giving me the ‘I’m not so sure look.”

‘Oh great,’ I thought to myself.

Before I knew it, it was Friday night and I was saying good bye to my parents as they dropped me off at Chris’ house. It had been decided that it would just be easier for me to spend the night at his house, since we had to be at the docks in Boston by 9 o’clock to get on the ship.

Like normal, my mom cried. She kept telling me to be safe and how much she was going to miss me. She kept repeating that she wanted to come, but I knew I definitely was not wanting that.

Finally they left and I felt Chris grab some of the bags from my hands and carry them into the main foyer of his house.

“I’m going to leave this right here, unless you need something out of them tonight?” He indicated two other suitcases that were sitting by the door.

“Nah I’ll be fine for tonight. Aren’t you just Mr. Well-prepared,” I teased.

Chris smirked as he stood up from bending over to put down my suit case. He turned so that I could fully see him in his tight black beater and red Hightown sweat pants. I watched as he started to lean forward like he was going to charge at me. I quickly realized what he was doing and pivoted on my toe and started to run. I could not escape him though. Before I knew it he had his arms wrapped around my waist and I could feel us both slowly falling to the ground.

We landed with a thud as I felt him move his arms up my body, so that he had me in a bear hug. I leaned into him more. It felt good to be in his arms and know that for the next week, I would get to spend almost every moment with him.

After a few minutes of rolling around, I heard the sound of slippers on the marble and looked up to see Mrs. Thomas standing above us. “Oh well hello Kyle.”

“Hi Mrs. Thomas. How are you?”

“I’m good, but you guys should probably head too bed soon. You have to get up early tomorrow. We want to take you two out for breakfast before we bring you to the dock. So both of you go!” she pointed and laughed.

Chris pulled me up off the ground and we headed up to his room. We got ready for bed. I stripped down to a pair of his basketball shorts and no shirt. Chris hoped on his bed taking off his beater and stripping down to just his boxers. I climbed under the big blue covers and I felt him slip behind me. He placed his arms around me. I turned so that I was only inches from his face.

“Just think babe tomorrow we will be on a cruise all by ourselves. No parents. No school. No drama,” he smiled and kissed me on the lips.

I laughed, “No drama? I doubt that. Remember who is on the ship.”

“True, but I don’t care about them. We’re only surrounding ourselves with our friends on the cruise and each other. The only thing we are having on this trip is fun….and sex.” He smirked.

I laughed and leaned my head forward so he kissed my forehead.

There was a moment of silence between us and then I realized I needed to ask him something. “Chris can I ask you something?”

“Uh-huh.”

“Ben?”

“Yeah what about him?”

“Do you miss him? Like I know he was your best friend and like now we’re with him outside of school. Is there like a chance to get him back? Like obviously there is so much history be…”

“Kyle.” I looked into his eyes and saw that tears were beginning to form. “Please stop. I don’t want to talk about this right now.” He let go of me and turned over.

“I’m sorry Chris. I didn’t mean to.”

“It’s okay lets just go to bed.”

‘Fuck’ I thought to myself ‘I already managed to piss him of.’


I rolled over into Chris’ big arms as I felt the sun light hit my face. I let a huge yawn and turned my head to look at the clock. 6:44. ‘Damn in one minute this peace and quiet will be disrupted.’

As I finished my thought a loud buzzing erupted from the alarm clock next to me. I felt Chris instinctively move his arm from under my head and hit the snooze button. I turned back to look at him and saw him looking at me. He moved his arm back towards himself pulling me into a hug and kissing my forehead.

“Morning sunshine,” he whispered.

I smiled realizing he was not mad at me anymore for the night before. “Morning! You ready?”

He nodded and pulled me into another hug and then started to crawl out of bed. I tried to pull him back but he was already up.

“Come on. Get up. We can lie in bed together all week on the ship,” he winked.

I groaned.


The ship was gigantic. We stood on the sidewalk before the dock and starred up at massive white ship in front of us. People bustled around us as they tried to unload their luggage and say good bye to whoever was dropping them off. I tightened my grip on the handle of my suitcase to make sure that I didn’t lose it.

“Alright you two. Have a good, safe time,” said Mrs. Thomas from behind us. I turned to see her smiling at us. “I have to go your father’s double parked.” She walked toward both us and wrapped us each in a hug. “Oh and behave!”

I laughed. “We will.” I turned to face Chris and pulled down my aviators over my eyes. “You ready?”

“Oh yeah! Let vacation begin!” He adjusted his Oakley sunglasses and reached out to grab my hand. We began to walk towards the long line of people on the ramp waiting to board and check in on the ship.

We passed the time by joking and watching the people around us. There were definitely some strange people on this cruise ship. There were families, couples, single people, old people, all sorts. We hadn’t seen any of our friends yet, but figured that they were probably running late; they were like that.

Finally we reached the service counter to check in. A short woman in her twenties was behind the desk wearing this red blazer and skirt. She smiled. Her name tag read ‘Katie.’

“Hello!” she said.

“Hi,” we both said together.

“May I please see your boarding passes, confirmation page, and IDs.”

I reached into my cargo shorts pulling out my wallet and ID. I placed it down on the counter along with Chris.

She looked at all three items and typed into her computer all our information.

“Alright. So we have you in a room with a single Queen bed on the 4th floor. Is that alright?”

I looked at Chris and he gave the nod of approval.

Katie gave us a quizzical look, but continued typing into her computer.

I laughed under my breath and tightened my grip on Chris’ hand.

“Okay well your package includes everything: drinks, food, and activities on all decks. This means that you can go to whatever number of shows you would like and also may eat in our formal restaurant as many times as you would like. Now if you could please put these tags on your bags and put them to the side, they will be delivered to your rooms shortly. We ask that you please do not go to your room for at least another hour, so that we can get everything set up and situated on board. Please feel free to check out the rest of the ship and enjoy your time with us. My name is Katie and if you need anything I will be here all week.”

We both smiled and thanked Katie for all her help. We stepped over to the side and put on the tags as Katie had said and dropped out bags where she had indicated.

We decided stand off to the side and figure out where we would like to go on the ship. We looked at the map that was on the wall.

Then I heard it.

“Ewww it looks like the fags did decide to come on this cruise.”

Chris and I both turned to see Paige, Ben, and a few others of their friends standing in line waiting to be checked in.

I looked at Chris, whose smile had disappeared. I grabbed is hand and whispered, “Let’s just go.”

He nodded.

I looked at Paige and smiled. I began to turn around.

“I can’t believe they let homos like you on this ship. I thought it was high class,” Paige yelled after us.

I looked back over my shoulder to see Paige getting nasty glances from other people in line. I smirked and continued to walk away.


For the next few hours we spent time seeing the ship. It had everything possibly imaginable on it: a pool, rock climbing, a water slide, numerous buffets, many bars, a tanning deck, a casino, a theatre, and so much more. Not only did have all these features, but everything was also so nice. The ship was done in a very fancy style, which made it so cool.

Eventually we ran into a lot of Chris classmates, who greeted us kindly. Finally we met up with Deb and the rest of our winter formal crew. We all lounged out on some the chairs. A few of us went and grabbed food at the 24 hour burger buffet and brought it back.

After a few hours, I leaned over to Chris who was falling asleep on the lounge chair. I gave his abs a poke. He turned.

“Want to go check out our room? I’m kind of beat and could use a little rest.”

Chris nodded and stood up. “Alright guys we’re going to go check out our room and we’ll meet up with you later?”

Deb answered. “Yeah sure. We’re probably going to head back too, but give us a call when you’re done…napping. We’re in rooms 604 and 605.”

“Alright,” I responded and grabbed our stuff.

“Hey you two.” I turned to see Ryan (a kid on the football team whose older brother is gay). “Save some for later in the week. You don’t have to be at it all night.” He smirked and the rest laughed.

I stuck my tongue as I heard Chris chuckling. He grabbed my hand and we started to walk to our room.


Our room was awesome. It wasn’t huge, but had a small bathroom, a queen size bed, and a closet in it along with a television. Our bags were sitting on the ground waiting for us when we got there.

I dropped what I was carrying on the ground and dove for the bed. I was surprised it was actually comfy. As I sprawled out across the bed, I watched Chris drop his bags and walk over to the bed.

He placed his knees down between my spread eagle legs and his two hands on either side of my head. I felt his body slowly come down on my as he began to slowly kiss the side of my face and my neck. I slowly slipped my arms around him as I caressed his sides. I finally placed my hands under his shirt and slowly pulled it up over his head. I exposed his well defined upper torso. His arms bulged from all the workouts he had done for football. I slowly felt his hands lower his body onto mine. He began to maneuver my shirt off with his two hands. I lifted my back and slowly gave in. Once the shirt was over my head I felt his lips touch mine. At first the kiss was sensual, but then turned to passion. I felt him begin to grind his clothed crotch against mine. I pushed back and let out a low moan.

I moved my arms towards his short’s button and slowly unhooked it. I unzipped his fly slowly and hooked by thumbs not only in his shorts, but also his boxers. With one sudden motion I pulled them both off and exposed his rock hard 9 inch cock. I moved my arms so they were back behind his head as I pulled him closer. He continued to rub his unclothed cock to my bulge in my shorts. I felt him slip his hands to the bulge and give it a squeeze. I moaned. Then I felt him quickly unbutton my shorts and pull them off along with my boxers. My hard 6inch dick was exposed. He slowly continued to rub our cocks together. He kissed my lips and rubbed up against my body.

I pushed hard up against him forcefully rubbing us together. I could feel my breathing getting heavy and so was his. I finally grabbed his ass hard and pulled him forcefully into me. With that I let out a loud moan and felt my body began to convulse. Streams of cum released from my cock onto to our rubbing bodies. With that he let out a low moan and I could feel his cum hit my stomach and even my shoulder.

We held position with him on top of me for a few moments, then he slowly rolled off of me, but placed his arm under my head. I leaned into him and felt him kiss the top of my head. Slowly we fell asleep naked in each others’ arms.
