The next morning, Will was up first. He went to bed after mauling Brian. Too nervous to see what everyone's reactions would be, despite how confident he felt in the moment.
Will didn't know how late everyone else stayed up. He curled into his sleeping bag on his air mattress and tried to keep his libido in check. The kiss he shared with Brian made him all tingly inside. Will easily could have reached into his sweatpants and brought himself to completion thinking about it.
But, he wouldn't. If only because he didn't want to become a liar and not because the others were only a few feet away from him.
Which, if he was honest, was even more of a turn on. The idea of staying quiet, doing something so inappropriate with the potential of getting caught.
Instead, Will closed his eyes tight and forced himself to relax despite the chill in the air and the new plastic-y scent of the tent.
After waking, Will bundled himself into a Salem U hoodie and stumbled out of his tent. He was able to go into the woods to use the bathroom in peace. Missing a toilet and a shower more than he ever thought possible. Wondering why in the hell anyone would willingly do this.
Back at the campsite, Will read the directions for the stovetop coffeemaker. He managed to get both the stove and the coffee going without setting anything on fire.
The first to emerge from their tent was Brian.
Will pretended he didn't see him at first. He let Brian wander into a copse of trees to do his business without acknowledging him. Though, Will couldn't help but note how unfairly attractive Brian was all sleep rumpled.
It wasn't until Brian stood near Will and the stovetop did Will give any sign he saw Brian at all.
"Hi," Will mumbled, grabbing an empty enamel mug and filling it with coffee.
"Morning," Brian said, snatching the mug out of Will's hand when Will raised it to his own lips.
Will glared at Brian, huffing. He turned his back and grabbed another mug, taking a much longer time to fill it.
He didn't want Brian to see he couldn't suppress a smile.
"There's sugar and some terrible powder creamer on the table," Will said. He waved to the tabletop next to him which had all the essentials they needed.
"Thanks," Brian said, fixing his drink. Although he kept an eye on Will, at his sleep-swollen eyes and the slow sweep of each eyelash when he blinked.
Brian didn't say anything for a long time. Let the sound of them sipping their coffee, the birds singing in the trees nearby, and Mateo snoring surround them.
Transfixed on the sight of Will taking a large slurp of his coffee, mug in both hands, and shoulders raised high. The content moan Will let out inspired Brian, urging him to continue their little game from the night before.
"So," Brian cleared his throat, leaning on his hip, nice and close to Will. "I suppose I was an asshole last night."
"Uh – yeah," Will agreed, distracted by Brian's proximity and his words.
"You were right about two things, though."
"Oh? What?"
"You have definitely kissed a guy. And I was thinking about you when I touched myself."
Will gave Brian an incredulous look only to punch him in the arm when he saw the shit eating grin on Brian's face.
"What?" Brian laughed, fending off Will's fists. "You can't kiss a guy like that and not turn him on."
"You're terrible," Will insisted with a sheepish laugh, simultaneously pleased and bashful. "And a liar."
"Am I?" Brian lifted a brow neither confirming nor denying anything.
"Hey, now," Dustin said once he and Kareem unzipped their tent. "Do we have to separate you two?"
"Yeah," Kareem agreed with a laugh. "Give a little warning the next time you two start sucking face."
Will rolled his eyes but couldn't stop smiling.
"What are you guys talking about?" Tyler asked, joining them with a half-asleep Mateo by his side.
"How unprepared we were for the hotness that was Will and Brian," Dustin said with a pretend swoon.
"No kidding," Mateo agreed. "Brian needs to goad Will into acting out more often if that's the result."
Brian nudged Will's shoulders with his own, memorizing the flush to Will's cheeks and the sweep of his tongue over his pink lips, mind whirling.
They spent the day hiking again. This time Will complained less or, at least, kept his complaints to himself. With his head up and away from his feet, Will saw and appreciated more. Cooing over wildlife from the tiniest of squirrels to the large wingspan of the birds soaring overhead. Relaxing more, laughing louder, and jumping into pictures with the rest of the guys without wondering if he belonged there or not. Unaware he spent most of the day near Brian, bickering or firing back at his sarcastic retorts, smiling every time he caught Brian's eyes on him.
After returning back to their campsite, sweaty and warm from the long day of hiking, Will let the others handle dinner. Will grabbed a bucket of water, the biodegradable soap, a washcloth, and towel. He found a wide tree a ways away and undressed. It was awkward but he was not going another day without bathing himself.
Of course, he didn't think through the mechanics of it all. He brought shower supplies with him but no clean clothes or underwear to change into.
With the towel wrapped firmly around his hips, Will headed back to his tent. He pretended he didn't feel everyone's eyes on him when he walked by.
Clean and in a fresh pair of sweatpants and a shirt, Will sat at the picnic table. Across from Brian, Will thought nothing of the intense, contemplative expression on Brian's face.
By the time they finished dinner and cleaned up, sitting around the fire, the topic ended up back on sex. This time focused on how and when everyone lost their virginity.
Will sat back in his chair, this time drinking a beer. He didn't participate in the conversation as he didn't think his experiences with Gabi were much to go off of. Will was content to listen to everyone talk about their first time. Most were when they were awkward, bumbling teenagers or preteens. Although Dustin admitted his wasn't until college.
"Will?" Brian looked at him over the rim of his beer can. "Anything to contribute?"
"Nope," Will answered, taking a long chug. When Brian looked at him expectantly, Will added, "you know I've only been with a girl."
"So?" Brian shrugged. "You gotta give us something here. I mean, did you even get off?"
"Yeah," Dustin agreed. "I am curious. Did you suspect you were gay when it happened? Did you like it? How does that even work?"
"It was, I don't know," Will tried to explain, feeling the beer go straight to his head, making it easier for him to open up. "It was weird."
"How weird?" Kareem pressed.
"I don't know," Will ran one hand through his hair. "It just was. I mean, I didn't know I was gay or anything. I thought there was just something wrong with me. I got off and stuff but it wasn't because of Gabi. It felt okay but I had to close my eyes and work a lot harder to get myself off than if it was just me and my hand. It wasn't anything like what my friends said sex was like or what you guys are telling me sex is like."
"Hmm," Brian hummed, fingertips tapping his can.
Will gave him a strange look but the topic, thankfully, moved to a rumor Dustin heard about another gay student they knew.
A few hours later, after talking and gossiping, everyone got ready for bed. Brushing their teeth and attempting to wash their faces, Will needing Mateo's help to tell him if he got all the soap off his skin or not.
As Will curled up in his sleeping bag, all alone in his tent, he heard someone whisper, "pst," outside his tent.
Will, crawling across the air mattress, unzipped his tent to reveal Brian.
"I need to ask you something," Brian said, letting himself in and zipping the tent back up. "Wow, your tent is way warmer than mine."
All together there were four tents at their campsite. Mateo and Tyler shared one, Dustin and Kareem another, while Brian and Will both had tents of their own.
Will didn't bother wasting his time wondering where Sonny was going to sleep if he had come along.
"What do you want?" Will whispered, not sure why he was whispering other than the fact Brian did it first.
"This," Brian said before connecting their lips.
Will's eyebrows shot straight up, making strange questioning sounds before closing his eyes.
Brian was a good kisser, an asshole most of the time, but a good kisser. There wasn't any reason why Will couldn't kiss him if they both wanted it.
And Will really, really wanted it.
"There you go," Brian whispered when Will kissed him back.
He cupped the side of Will's face, tilting his neck just so, and opening his mouth. Will wrapped his arms around Brian's neck and moaned when he felt Brian's tongue in his mouth. The two kissing soft and slow, the sound of their wet lips smacking together.
Will gasped when he felt Brian's hand sneak under his shirt.
"Shh," Brian hushed, dragging his lips across Will's cheek to his right ear. "You have to be quiet. You don't want them to hear us, do you?"
Will groaned a little bit louder at the thought. Falling into the air mattress when Brian pushed him down, hovering over him.
Brian chuckled, low and sexy, nipping Will's ear lobe. His hand pushed Will's shirt up, warm, callused fingers caressing Will's abdominals and chest, tweaking a nipple and causing Will's hips to buck.
"The sounds you make are so sexy," Brian said before sucking below Will's ear lobe. Kissing lower and lower before he reached Will's shirt and sat up, pulling Will with him.
Brian yanked Will's shirt over his head and tossed it to the side. He looked Will over with a lewd grin, shoving him back into the air mattress.
Will whimpered when Brian dragged his tongue between his pecs, nipping at the skin. His fingers dragged through Brian's hair as his tongue circled one nipple, then the next. Left hand holding Will's hips down, grinning against Will's skin.
"So sexy," Brian repeated before sliding his left hand into Will's sweatpants. Gripping Will's hard length over his boxers and squeezing.
"Oh, god," Will moaned, head thrown back, gyrating into Brian's palm. "Brian!"
"Shh," Brian said without any heat, leaning forward to capture Will's mouth in another kiss. Their tongues entwined while Brian brushed his thumb over Will's wet tip.
"Are you gonna get off like this?" Brian wondered, forehead pressed against Will's. "Without taking your clothes off, without any skin on skin contact?"
Will didn't want to answer but he couldn't help it. No one but Gabi and himself had ever touched him before. Will could feel Brian everywhere, could feel echoes of his warm hands through his boxers. He could still feel his lips on his skin, his teeth along his nipples. Just the slightest grip on his dick and Will was ready to let go.
"So fucking sexy," Brian said once again, grinning before flickering his tongue against Will's lips while he rubbed his thumb along Will's tip.
Brian swallowed Will's moans when he finally came, Brian groaning just as loud when he felt the wet, warm liquid soak into Will's boxers.
Will, embarrassed but so turned on, couldn't do anything but rock into Brian's grip and drag his mouth against his over and over.
"God," Brian panted, rubbing his hardened length into Will's hip. "I bet you made such a mess."
Will didn't know if he wanted to cover his face in shame or cry or what. Instead, he took a deep breath and pushed down his own sweatpants.
Brian was right. He did make a mess. The entire front of his boxers was visibly wet.
"Oh, god," Brian groaned at the sight.
Will didn't know what possessed him but he pulled down Brian's sweatpants and boxers too. He dragged Brian closer, slotting their hips together. Holding tight to Brian's bare ass as he encouraged Brian to rub against him and the wet patch of his semen-soaked boxers.
"Fuck," Brian sighed, grabbing Will's hips and thrusting against him. Feeling how wet and messy Will was, burying his face in Will's neck, biting and licking.
Will curled one leg around Brian's hips, gasping when his dick filled once again. The two rubbing together, Brian muttering over and over how much of a mess Will made and how sexy it was. Will clawing at Brian's hips and ass, wanting him closer.
"Wanna feel you," Will admitted, head thrown back against his pillow while Brian bit at the junction between his neck and shoulder. "Wanna feel you come between us, want you to come on me."
Brian dug his teeth into Will's skin, hips grinding into Will's before he let go.
"Oh, god," Will moaned a little too loud, coming once again. "Brian, Brian, fuck."
Brian ripped himself from Will's neck to shut Will up with a kiss. The two barely doing much more than panting into the other's mouth.
"Fuck," Brian muttered, collapsing on top of Will, head on his chest.
"Uh-huh," Will agreed, a little light headed and stupid. He ran his fingers through Brian's thick hair, eyes fluttering closed.
"Damn," Brian realized, lips working against Will's bare skin.
"Hmm?"
"We gotta clean up or we'll regret it in the morning."
"With what? It's not like we can take a shower."
"Hush," Brian ordered, kissing the area over Will's heart several times without thinking.
He stumbled out of the tent until he found a few water bottles and washcloths.
"Here," Brian said, tossing them at Will. He hesitated for a moment before admitting, "I better get back to my own tent before I fall asleep. We'll get a lot of shit if anyone catches us in the morning."
"Oh," Will blinked a few times, oddly disappointed, before muttering. "Yeah, you're right."
Brian looked at Will again, before shaking his head and saying once more, "so fucking sexy." He kissed Will long and hard, causing Will to whimper, before leaving.
If he didn't leave now, he never would.
Will collapsed back on the mattress, hand resting low on his abdomen. When he heard the tell-tell sound of Brian's tent zipping back together, he let his hand slip lower. Let his fingers swirl through the mess Will and Brian both made on his boxers.
"So messy," Will mumbled, sticking his hand inside and squeezing himself. He rolled onto his hands and knees, fucking into his fist and biting the side of his arm to keep quiet.
Tonight, he didn't care at all if he was touching himself to the thought of Brian. In fact, Will decided he'd tell him in the morning. Tell Brian how he turned Will on so much with a simple kiss Will had to touch himself again. Brian getting him off twice wasn't enough, not at all.
Will couldn't wait for morning.
