December

My phone buzzes in my pocket as I'm hurrying to class. I pull it out and grin when I see it's from Jasper.

Did it come yet?

I reply awkwardly, I suck at texting on the move. IDK yet, the mail hadn't arrived when I left. Eager much?

He replies immediately: Of course I'm fucking eager. Have a good day, LMK later.

U2, love u, I reply as I take my seat in the lecture hall, then switch my phone to silent.

I pull out my notes and get to work, listening and trying to focus on the class. But I'm tired. It's been a long semester and I'm ready for the holidays. I'm looking forward to seeing my family, staying in bed late in the mornings. But most of all I'm looking forward to being able to see Jasper every day.

It's worked out pretty well this semester. With me at Berkeley and him at UCSF we've been able to see each other most weekends. Privacy isn't always easy to come by as both of us have roommates, but we manage.

My roommate, Peter, is a good guy. I told him that I was gay right from the start. I thought it would be easier that way. He doesn't have a problem with it. Maybe it helps that he knows I have a boyfriend. He's been cool with Jas staying over and usually manages to make himself scarce for the night. Jasper's roommate, Sam, is a little less accepting than Peter and is clearly not very comfortable being around Jas and me when we're together. But he hasn't caused any problems for us and he stays over with his girlfriend when I visit Jasper.

My phone vibrates in my pocket. I pull it out surreptitiously.

This is why I'm eager, NSFW. The message is followed by a link to something on Tumblr.

My lips twist with amusement. I know from bitter and blue-balled experience that opening links from Jas in lectures is a bad plan. But I also know that I can't resist it. Holding the phone down between my knees I quickly check that no one's looking at me and click on the link.

Fuck me.

It's a gif of some dude riding another dude's cock, a close up shot focusing right on the action. As the guy's ass lifts up and the cock slides out of him, thick trickles of cum slide down the shaft. I stare as the images loop, over and over. I grip my phone tighter and feel my dick swell and fill.

Someone near me clears their throat and I suddenly remember where I am. I jerk my head up guiltily, my cheeks hot, but no one has noticed what I'm doing. I adjust myself cautiously and breathe slowly trying to calm down, but it's a lost cause. Fucking Jasper. I really hope my test results are in the mail when I get back to the dorm.

I text him back. Jesus, are u trying to kill me?

When my phone buzzes again I brace myself, but there are no more links. Just a question.

LOL! So do u want to top or bottom?

I feel my dick twitch in my pants as I read the words.

Both. My fingers slip on the touch screen as I hit send.

His reply is just a smiley face and then my phone is silent for the rest of the class. It takes all that time for my erection to subside.

XOXOXOX

I head back to the dorm at lunchtime. I don't have any classes this afternoon but have an assignment to finish and hand in tomorrow before the holidays. I stop by the mail room and feel a pulse of excitement when I'm handed an official looking envelope.

I take it upstairs and am glad to have the room to myself when I open it. I know what it's going to say, of course. I was a virgin when I met Jas and we've always used protection. This is just a formality really, but it's not something that either of us would ever take a chance on. Even so, my heart is pounding as I tear it open. I unfold the letter with trembling fingers and scan it quickly.

I sigh with happy relief when I see it there in black and white. Jas had his results a few days ago and we've both been waiting impatiently for mine.

I send a text to Jas straight away. Got the all clear.

His reply makes me snort. Woo hoo, barebacking FTW. In class now, call u later x

While I've got my phone open I sneak another look at the gif that Jasper sent me. Holy crap that's hot. I feel my dick perk up again, but Pete might get back anytime so I don't dare risk jacking off now, just in case. It'll have to wait.

I settle down to work on my assignment but my thoughts keep straying to Jasper. Even after a year I want him just as much as ever, and the sex keeps getting better as we try new things and learn new ways to please each other.

I'm proof reading my final draft when Peter comes in.

"Hey, man." He greets me with his usual warm smile and I grin back. I really lucked out getting Pete as a roommate. He's easy to live with and we've become good friends over the past few months.

"Hi, Pete. You all set for going home tomorrow?"

Peter's from the East Coast. He's skipping the last day of the semester and travelling back a day early.

"Yeah," he nods. "Got my last assignment handed in today so I'm good to go. I just need to get packed up so I can go out with Charlotte tonight. I'm leaving early tomorrow."

My phone rings, interrupting our conversation, and I grin when I see Jasper's name flash up on the screen.

"Hi, Jas." I move to my bed and settle back against the pillows, stretching out my back after being hunched over my desk for the last couple of hours.

Pete grins and winks at me, then turns his back and starts pulling stuff out of his drawers and throwing them into his suitcase haphazardly.

"So, we're all set then?" Jas sounds excited.

"Yep," I reply. "All fine at this end."

"Fuck, Ed." His voice is low and husky and goes straight to my dick, which still hasn't really gotten over the whole gif incident. "I can't wait to see my cum spilling out of your ass."

"Um... yeah." I shift on the bed, adjusting myself again, glad that Peter has his back to me. I need to shut Jas up fast. Once he starts talking dirty it's hard to stop him. "So, what time are you gonna get over here tomorrow?"

He laughs. "By six I hope. So Pete's there, huh?"

"Yep," I reply ruefully.

"Aw shit," he grumbles. "I was all geared up for phone sex. Well, I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow for the real thing."

Jas is heading over here after class tomorrow so we can spend the night together and then fly back home on Saturday.

"I guess we will," I reply.

We chat a little longer, about nothing in particular. Classes, plans for the holidays. When we say goodbye he tells me that he loves me and I just say, "me too." Because Pete's there and although he's cool with Jas and me, I get embarrassed about that stuff.

When I put my phone down on the nightstand, Pete turns back to me.

"Jasper?" he asks questioningly.

"Uh huh," I nod, unable to keep the smile from spreading across my face.

Pete grins back and turns to carry on packing. "So, he's coming here tomorrow night, huh?"

"Yeah," I reply. I push myself up off the bed and sit back at my laptop, determined to get this damn assignment finished and submitted.

"Nice," Pete says. "But I guess you'll see a lot of him over the holidays with you guys living so close?"

"That's true," I say, then flush but continue anyway. "But we don't get to spend the night together at home. Well... I don't think we do anyway, unless my parents' rules have changed."

Pete chuckles. "Well you'd better make the most of it tomorrow then."

"Oh, you can count on it." I smirk, thinking about all the things that Jasper and I can do to each other in a whole, uninterrupted night together.

XOXOXOX

The next morning Pete's up early. He tries to be quiet but I hear him going in and out to the bathroom and packing up his last few things. I eventually drag myself up through layers of sleep and scrub my hand over my eyes before yawning.

"Morning, man." His voice is cheerful.

"Is it?" My voice is rough with sleep. I fumble for the bottle of water on my nightstand and drink.

"Sorry I woke you," he says.

"That's okay," I sigh. "I have an early class anyway. You can turn your lamp on if you want."

I close my eyes and grimace when Pete flips the switch on the lamp by his bed, but instantly start to feel more awake as the light filters through my eyelids and makes my brain reluctantly accept that it's morning.

When Pete's ready to go he raises his hand and grins. "Merry Christmas, Ed."

I smile back. "Yeah, you too. Have a good holiday."

He switches the lamp off as he leaves. The door closes behind him and I'm left alone.

I stretch luxuriously under my covers, warm and comfortable. I don't have to get up for a while yet, so I slide a hand slowly down over my abdomen and give my morning wood a squeeze through my underwear. My dick gets harder immediately as I stroke idly, thinking about seeing Jasper later. I snag my phone off the nightstand and find the message with the link from yesterday. I open it up and watch it as I slip my hand inside my boxer briefs and feel hot skin under my palm. I can't be bothered to move again for lube, but there's already pre-cum at the head so I smear it around with my thumb. It's enough.

I imagine my cock, pushing up into Jasper's ass as he rides me. I grip tighter and my hand moves faster. I put the phone aside now, my imagination providing the visuals as I shove my underwear down and reach for my balls with my other hand, cupping and stroking as my breathing picks up. I feel my body start to flush with heat.

It doesn't take long. A mental image of Jasper rising up off my cock and my cum sliding out of his ass is enough to trigger a fierce orgasm that leaves me panting and spent. My jizz pours over my hand and slips through my fingers as I stroke the last few drops out. I can't fucking wait for this evening.

XOXOXOX

My early class is dull, but my thoughts are elsewhere. I go through the motions, pretending to pay attention and taking notes that I hope might make some sense when I read back through them. I text Jasper, wondering if he's up yet.

How r u today? Can't wait till later.

He doesn't reply for a while, but when he does it's worth the wait.

Just out of the shower, naked and dripping. Late for class, have to run. C u tonight x

And bam – I'm hard again. I resist the urge to bang my head the desk. I'm not really complaining.

XOXOXOX

When Jasper turns up at my door with a huge backpack and an ear to ear smile I drag him inside and kiss him thoroughly. He drops his bag and wraps his arms around me, pulling me close and kissing me back until we part to grin at each other goofily.

"Fuck I missed you..." "God, it's good to see you..." We both talk at once and then break off, laughing and kissing each other some more.

When we separate again, he takes in the surroundings and his eyes light up as he notices the difference.

"Hey, you made us a double," he exclaims in surprise.

"Well I'm fed up with you hogging the bed when we squeeze into these tiny-assed singles. And Pete's gone home for the holidays now so he won't mind."

I've hauled both of the mattresses off the narrow single beds and put them side by side on the floor between the beds. I've borrowed Pete's pillows and duvet too, but put my own spare pillowcases and sheets on them.

"I thought you liked it when I snuggle." Jas attempts to pout but amusement quirks his lips and spoils the effect.

"The snuggling's fine, it's the sprawling and cover-stealing that I have issues with," I reply with a grin. "And you have to admit, this'll be more comfortable."

"That's true," Jas nods. "And I'll have way more room to throw you around before we get to the sleeping part."

"Who says you'll be doing all the throwing?" I retort, but I feel my cheeks flush in anticipation. Tempting though it is to throw him down on the mattresses right now, my stomach rumbles and reminds me that we need to eat. "Come on," I say. "Let's go out for food and we can discuss it over dinner."

XOXOXOX

We go out for pizza at a restaurant that's just a couple of blocks away. It's a cold night but is clear and dry. We hold hands as we walk there. I love being out with Jas in public. The novelty of it still hasn't worn off after all those months of hiding our relationship at the beginning.

The obviously-gay waiter looks admiringly at us both and his mouth turns down in subtle disappointment when his gaze drops to where our fingers twine together. But he rallies and smiles, ushering us to a quiet corner booth with plenty of privacy.

The pizza's good, but the company's better. We sit as close as we can with the small table between us. Our knees bump occasionally and I feel the gentle, deliberate pressure of Jasper's legs against mine. We hold hands whenever we're not using them to eat and get lost in each other's eyes as we talk and laugh and flirt and the tension slowly builds between us.

By the time we ask for the check we're both impatient. I can see it in Jasper's eyes and the way that he's looking at me. And I can feel it in the insistent press of his knees against mine and the warmth of his fingers as they graze the back of my hand.

We walk back quickly, holding hands. We pause to kiss in the street just because we can. Jasper's lips are cool from the chill of the night but the inside of his mouth is deliciously warm. When we pull apart we can see our breath in the unusually cold air. His teeth gleam in the glow of the streetlamps and his face is full of love but is also tinged with hunger that makes me breathless.

"Come on," he steps back and takes my hand again. We're both wearing gloves and I wish I could feel his skin. Soon, I think.

XOXOXOX

Back in my room we undress each other, running chilly hands over warm skin and giggling at the shock, twisting away if it's too much but coming back for more.

We sprawl across the makeshift double mattress and I yelp when Jasper's cold hand circles my cock and strokes. We lie head to toe on the bed, curled around each other and he teases me with his cool hand and warm breath before he finally takes my cock into the heat of his mouth and sucks. I return the favor. I love it when we do this – my cock in his mouth and his in mine as we lick and suck messily until we're both hitching our hips and breathing hard.

I feel his hands pushing my legs apart and determined fingers reaching back. He teases my hole for a moment before I feel two fingers being pushed into his mouth alongside my cock. I shiver with anticipation, knowing what's coming. I mirror his actions. We never worked out who was going to top but I meant in the text when I said I wanted to do both. I'm sure that won't be a problem, Jasper's usually up for anything.

I push him onto his back and move so that I'm lying over him, spreading my legs wide to give him access to my ass while I push his legs apart so I can reach his hole too. We carry on licking and sucking while we work each other open with wet fingers.

Jasper's cock twitches in my mouth and I taste his pre-cum as he whimpers and pulls his mouth off my cock. "Time out," he gasps. "I'm close but I don't wanna come yet."

I chuckle as I let his dick slip out of my mouth, gripping it firmly at the base. "Me neither," I reply. Moving to lie beside him and drop a kiss on his lips. "So, how are we gonna do this?"

"You can fuck me first," he offers. "How do you want me?"

I grin. "I'll take you any way I can get you." Then I flush a little and my eyes flicker down to focus on his nipple as I tease with my fingers. Even after all this time I still sometimes find it hard to ask for what I want, but I know Jasper likes it when I tell him. "I'd like for you to ride me..." I murmur, "like in that gif you sent me. And then after that I want you to fuck me too."

I look back up and meet his eyes, his pupils blown huge as he holds my gaze. "Okay," his voice is husky.

I kiss him again, then crawl over the mattresses and pull open the drawer by my bed to get some lube. I bring it back and go to squirt some in my palm – but when I push the pump down, nothing comes out.

"Fuck!" I hiss. I shake the bottle and try again. Nothing. "Fucking, fuck!"

"You must have something else we can use," Jasper's voice has a desperate edge. "Or maybe Pete has some?"

"He doesn't use it." Jasper's brow furrows. "He's uncut," I clarify. "Says he doesn't really need it."

He raises his eyebrows. "You compared notes on jacking off?"

"We'd been drinking," I shrug with a grin. "Pete sometimes shares a little too much when's he's had a few beers."

"Lotion then?" Jasper suggests. "Fuck, Ed. I'll use spit if I have to."

Suddenly I remember something. "Hang on," I jump up again and rummage around in the back of my underwear drawer and return triumphant. "I know I said I'd never use it again, but I didn't want to throw it away because it was a present from you."

I hold up the small tube and Jasper bursts out laughing. "You do realize that we'll probably still be glittery at New Years if we use that shit?"

"Who gives a fuck?" I grin. "We're out and proud now, we're practically expected to wear glitter."

I lie back down on the bed and twist off the cap. I sniff the tube. "It's pink champagne flavor apparently."

"Oh my God, that is so gay." Jasper snorts. I squeeze some out and slick my cock, teasing it back to hardness after all the distraction. I pass the tube to Jasper and he squirts some on his fingers and reaches around to prepare himself.

By the time he lowers himself over me his dick is rock hard again and bobs with the movement as he inches slowly down onto my cock. It doesn't really feel that different without a condom. I guess that's because it feels fucking amazing usually anyway. But somehow just the knowledge that there's nothing between us now gives me a thrill. He's warm and tight and incredible as he takes me all in. And then he starts to move.

"Fuck," I gasp, knowing that I'm not going to last long. It's always like this when we haven't seen each other for a week or so. The foreplay starts with the sexting before we even meet and by the time we finally get around to fucking we're both so ready for it that it never takes long the first time. I watch as he rises and falls over me, revealing my cock with each lift of his hips. It shines, the pink glitter reflecting the light. It amuses me but I'm too far gone to comment or even manage a chuckle.

Jasper's panting with exertion and gripping his cock tightly. He's not moving his hand at all and I can see that he's struggling to hold back his orgasm so that he can come inside me when it's his turn. I let my orgasm build, welcoming the warm rush of sensation as my muscles tense. I grab Jasper's hips and squeeze tight. He looks down at me and I gasp and come, my cock pulsing and spilling into him. He keeps on riding me as I thrust up, my back arching off the bed. Then I lift my head to watch and pull on his hips, encouraging him higher as he lifts up again so that the head of my dick almost slips out of him. "Oh fuck," I moan as I see the thick white cum slipping out of his ass and coating my cock. Then he slides back down and my release slicks the movement and my eyes roll back in my head as my dick gives a last twitch inside him.

"My turn now." Jasper climbs off me and settles between my legs, pushing them up and back. He grabs the lube and applies it to my hole, smearing it liberally around. When he takes his cock in his hand and lines it up his fingers are pink and glittery. It looks like a Christmas craft project gone crazy.

He pushes into me, rough and urgent, his fingers digging into my thighs as he pulls back and slams in again. "Oh, fuck," he grunts. "This isn't gonna take long. Feels so fucking good." He snaps his hips forward again and as he keeps fucking me as I see his face and neck flush, a sure sign that he's about to blow. He comes with a harsh cry and his fingers grip me so tightly that it hurts, but I don't care. I love to watch him come apart. I feel the hot spurt of his cum inside me and my spent dick twitches in response.

Jasper collapses over me, his head on my chest and I slip a hand into his hair, letting my fingers slip through the strands as his breathing steadies. I feel him shift and pull back, then he pushes up on his arms again, looking down at where our bodies are still joined. He withdraws slowly and as his dick slips out of me I feel the trickle of his warm cum escaping.

"Fuck," he breathes, his eyes fixed on my ass, his voice almost reverent. "That's so fucking hot."

We clean up with discarded underwear and tissues but the bed is a disaster. There's cum and pink glitter everywhere but I can't bring myself to give a shit. So, I'll have laundry to do when I get back after the holidays – totally worth it.

We settle back in the bed, comparing our glittery pubes and chuckling. I crawl over to turn off the lamp and snuggle back in beside Jasper, wrapping my arms around him and pulling him close.

"If my mom has to pick glitter off my face tomorrow I won't be happy." I say.

"Just tell her you've been making your own Christmas cards this year," Jasper suggests sleepily.

"And if she notices you're glittery too?"

"We'll tell her I helped you," he mumbles. "Now quit worrying about being sparkly. I need to sleep."

I guess he's right. Picking glitter off various parts of my anatomy for the next week will be a small price to pay for what we just did. So I close my eyes and smile as I drift into sleep with Jasper's breath warm on my neck and his body heavy against mine.


A/N: That's all for now! But I'll be posting the outtake that I wrote for Fandom Gives Back next week which is Jasper's POV of the first chapter.

I've been busy writing fics for the Twikinkfest over the last month. If you've not seen them yet and are interested in reading them you can find them on my profile - I've written various pairings (and one poly) but they are all slash.
