Eric rolled over and saw 5: 00 on his alarm clock. He didn't remember falling asleep, only that he was so excited he couldn't. He spent most of the night tossing and turning, desperately trying not to go to Shawn. Resisting Shawn was an unusual thing for him to do. Whenever he would go to gay bars and clubs, there was no sentiment or romance.

He would say hello, and the guy in question would say hello back. Next, Eric was in some studio apartment clutching a pair of ankles and drilling a guy as hard as he could. Sex was about strictly getting off. But that's not what he wanted with Shawn. Shawn meant the world to Eric, and the thought of just having sex did not sit well with him.

Plus Shawn's moan got so loud, it scared the crap out of Eric. Shawn was 18, but still in high school and still Jack's baby brother. Being caught by Jack now that things were back on track between them wasn't something he wanted to risk. He definitely wanted to start a relationship with Shawn, but things had to be strategic.

Eric walked out of his room and listened. Jack didn't have class until 1 pm, and usually slept in late on Wednesdays. Shawn had to be at school by 7:15 and Eric's first class of the day was at 8 a.m. Shawn usually woke up with only 20 minutes before he had to get out the door. Eric had promised they would talk, and he didn't want to leave the conversation until later.

Quietly, he creeped to Shawn's door. He considered knocking, but decided to just go inside. Shawn was sleeping on his stomach, his beautiful brown moppy hair slightly covering his face. He was wearing a white shirt, and though the comforter was around his waist, Eric could tell Shawn was bottomless. Eric became hard immediately.

He smiled, walked over and knelt beside Shawn's bed. Eric reached out and slept away the hair on Shawn's face, and the younger boy began to stir. Shawn opened his heavy lids and looked at Eric. Once he registered his face, Shawn lifted himself off the bed and embraced Eric, letting out a grunt as he stretched himself.

"Shawn" Eric whispered with a laugh. He was losing his balance, and Shawn put more of his weight on him, and he could feel himself falling over. He held onto Shawn as they gently fell to the floor. Shawn put his body on top of Eric, and Eric's suspicions were validated Shawn was naked waist down. Shawn's hard dick pressed into Eric's crotch, which sent alarm bells off in Eric's head. "Shawn, I came to talk." Shawn's lips were grazing Eric's collarbone before they found his neck.

"Talk." Shawn murmured as he began kissing Eric's neck and grinding himself into Eric's now extremely hard penis. Eric was losing his mind, and he grabbed onto Shawn's hips, pulling them down as hard as he could. Eric, stop this isn't how you want things to be. He then pushed Shawn up, forcing Shawn to lift up and straddle Eric. Shawn's t-shirt was a bit big on him, and the hem of it resting on Shawn's thighs. The thin worn material covered barely Shawn's surprisingly large erection. Shawn's full weight was completely on top of Eric's erection, the head facing toward Eric's belly button while the shaft, still covered in his flannel pjs resting in-between Shawn's butt cheeks.

It took a lot of work and brain power for Eric not to grind himself into Shawn, and he only had some much brain power to begin with. Shawn looked at Eric seductively, and placed his hands on Eric's chest, giving it a slight squeeze. He isn't going to make this easy, Eric thought. "Shawn, I'm serious."

"Okay, okay let's talk." Shawn got off of Eric, reluctantly. He found a pair of boxers as Eric stood back up. Once clothed completely, Shawn sat on the bed. Eric continued to stand, moving away from the bed and adjusting himself as he did.

"Shawn" Eric began. "I'm glad we feel the same way about each other, but I don't want to ruin this. I don't want to rush into anything without knowing exactly what this is going to be." Shawn gave Eric a confused look.

"What do you mean?" He asked. Eric hesitated, but decided it was best to continue his thought.

"I don't want us to just be about sex."

"Eric, we haven't even had sex yet." Shawn mused.

"I know, but every interaction I've had with a guy has been sex, strictly. I've never had a real relationship before."

"And that's what you want us to have?" Shawn asked.

"Yes." Eric replied, but felt the urge to clarify his answer. "But I'm not ready to come out. So if that's important to you."

"I'm not ready either!" Shawn insisted. Shawn's eyes were as big as saucers. Eric gave him a slight smile and moved over to him to sit on the bed.

"Okay, so we'll keep this ourselves for now, agreed?" Eric stated. Shawn nodded in agreement. "Okay, how about we go on a date?" Shawn grimaced.

"Eric, how are we going to keep this secret, and go on a date?" He asked.

"Well, we won't call it a date to everyone else. We can just call it roommate bonding, or something." Eric said. "I just want to do this right, you know. Dinner, a movie, a walk in the park."

"The backseat of your car?" Shawn asked slyly.

"Talking and getting to know each other." Eric interjected. Shawn rolled his eyes. "I just want it to be perfect, Shawn." Shawn smiled at Eric.

"Wow, you're almost as big of a cheese ball as Cory." Shawn said. Eric playfully pushed him. "Okay, okay. The perfect, covert first date. I'm totally into it, but Eric." Shawn moved to straddle Eric again on the bed. Eric could feel Shawn's hard-on was still very much hard.

"I'm crazy about you and I don't know how much longer I can wait. I've waited for you for so long and I'm seriously about to explode." Shawn said. He pulled at Eric's honey brown hair and grinding himself into Eric. Eric smiled seductively at Shawn while feeling up Shawn's thighs.

"Well, I guess I need to give you something to tie you over," Eric said in a low, sensual voice.
