Chapter 16: Coming Out

Troy's P.O.V.

"Hey, Ry...let's go up to my room. I think we need to talk."

"K." Ryan said, and we walked upstairs.

When we got to my room, I sat down on my bed. Ryan moved my computer chair to the bed and sat down in front of me.

"Ry..." I began, "I'm sorry...you must think I'm awful...I tried to kill myself and ruin everything!"

Ryan rolled his eyes. "Troy...if I thought you were so awful, would I have bought you a dog?"

I thought about that for a minute. "...well...I guess not." I kinda laughed, and so did Ry.

I leaned in and kissed Ryan on the nose, then on the top lip, the bottom lip, then fully on the mouth. Ryan put his hand on the back of my head, and I put my hand on his chest. Ryan got up from the chair, leaned over and layed down on top of me on the bed.

"Ry...I can't...not yet...I'm still too sore." I said between kisses.

Ryan rolled over beside me, and I sat up.

"I'm sorry..." I said.

"It's okay...for now. But when you get better...I'm gonna hit that ass." and he slapped me on the butt.

I laughed. "I love you Ry."

"I love you too T-Roy."

"T-Roy? What the hell is that?"

"Well, you call me Ry, so I need to give you a nickname...T-Roy is all I could think of."

Ryan and I were laughing hysterically.

"Ok, I promise I won't call you T-Roy...if you promise me one thing.."

"What's that?"

"Promise me that even if I can't call you T-Roy, I can at least call you mine." Ryan said sweetly.

Awww!

"Of course...I'll always be your's, babe...forever..." I replied.

There was a short silence.

"Great! We had to get all mushy!" Ryan said, flailing his arms in the air.

I laughed. "Hey! Mushy is good sometimes!"

Ryan sighed. "True."

We looked at each other in pure lust, and Ryan was on top of me again. I wanted to make love, but I couldn't! I was still too sore!

Ryan held my wrists against the bed and was kissing my neck.

"Ry...remember...I'm still sore...we can't do this...come on.." But I couldn't stop him...it felt too good.

"Ry...Ryan!...don't!..." But I just grabbed his face and planted a huge kiss on his lips. While we were kissing, I moved my hands down to his waist and unbottoned and unzipped his jeans and slowly pulled them down. Ryan stood up and stepped out of them, as well as his underwear, and took his shirt off, then he pulled off my pants and underwear. I lifted up my shirt and threw it across the room. Ryan was on top of me again, and I could feel our erections grinding against each other. Ryan sat up and I turned around, on my hands and knees. Without hesitation, Ryan was inside of me, pounding hard in and out, moaning loudly. I screamed in pleasure and pain. "Oh!...Ry...OOH!"

As I screamed, Ryan moved faster and faster and screamed along with me.

When we were done, we fell helplessly on the bed, relieved. It did hurt because my whole body was still sore, but god, I had been waiting a while for that! It was so incredible, despite how much I was hurting.

"That was amazing, Ry..." I said in between heavy breaths. Ryan just let out a cute little giggle.

It was great to be home.

I woke up to my phone ringing. It was 7 am...I was pissed.

"Hello?" I answered, kind of frustrated.

"Hey, babe...today is our first day back at school...spring break is over!"

"...Golly gee, that's swell!" I said as sarcastically as I could manage at 7 in the morning...

"Yeah...get ready...I'll be there to pick you up in about half an hour." Ryan said enthusiastically.

"K...see ya then. Love you."

"Love you, too...bye!"

"Bye" I said, then hung up the phone and headed to the shower.

When Ry got to my house, I walked outside to his car, got in, and kissed him.

"Hey babe." I said.

"Hey." he replied.

We were headed to school, and we weren't saying a word. I couldn't talk because I was too tired.

"So, Troy...what are you going to say about your bruises and scars if anyone asks?" Ryan said.

"I'll tell them that I went rock climbing over spring break and I had an accident..." I said.

"Sounds like a good enough excuse." Ryan said.

Silence.

"Umm...listen, hun...I've been thinking, and, uh...I, uh...Ithinkweshouldcomeouttogether." Ryan said quickly.

I looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "You mean...come out as in..tell everyone we're gay and that we're together?" I asked.

"Well...yeah...you don't want to?" Ryan asked.

"Well, a part of me wants to...but I can't." I said.

"Why?" Ryan asked.

"Because...ever heard of a reputation? Well, I've got one, and it's excellent...and I want to keep it that way. But, still, I want to show us off to the world...I want to brag to everyone that I have the best boyfriend EVER!" I said, smiling.

"Well, I want to come out...should we do it?" Ryan looked worried.

I thought about it for a moment, staring at the road in front of us.

"You know what?...yeah, let's do it!" I said, clapping my hands together.

"YESS!" Ryan squealed.

"OK.." I said. "But it has to be a gradual thing...we tell our parents first, then you tell Shar, and we'll tell our best friends. And once they've all accepted it, we'll just walk in the school building one day, hand-in-hand, and we'll get to show off our sexy selves together."

"Sounds good." Ryan said...and for the rest of the car ride to school, we were silent and smiling.
