Chad gently, but firmly, pushed Troy against the wall, enjoying the thud his body make against the wall. Troy tipped his head back as Chad dotted kisses randomly around his neck. Troy briefly pushed his face into Chad's hair, inhaling the faint smell of fruity shampoo.
"You know what's strange?" Chad suddenly said, looking at Troy.
"What?"
"It's weird this whole thing has happened." Chad smiled. "But what's strange is, right now, it feels stupid that we haven't been doing this all along."
"Yeah." Troy grinned. "Well, not ALL along."
Chad laughed, stroking Troy's arm.
"From now on, huh?"
"Yup." Troy grinned, pecking a kiss sweetly on Chad's lips. "I am yours. In any way you want me." Troy smiled, sweetly but hiding a cheeky grin.
"I have a class in ten minutes." Chad sighed, resting his forehead on Troy's shoulder. "But I'll be out in two hours, will you wait for me?"
"Here?" Troy asked. "Um… sure. Maybe I'll nap, if that's okay. I was up early taking Gabi to the airport."
"Sure." Chad smiled. "I'll wake you up if you're still asleep when I get back." He grinned, raising his eyebrows.
"I look forward to it."
-------------
Chad smiled to himself, carrying two pizza boxes, and a plastic bag with ice cream and soda inside. He was walking down the hall towards his room, humming some tune he'd heard on the radio.
When he reached his room, he tried to open the door quietly, as not to wake Troy if he was asleep. And when he entered the room, he saw Troy snuggled up under his covers, fast asleep.
"Troy." He said, quietly and gently. "Wake up."
Troy shifted slightly, flopping back into a comfortable slumber. Chad rolled his eyes, placing the pizza boxes and soda on his desk, he sat on the edge of his own bed. He smiled down at Troy, sleeping silently, content expression gracing his face. Chad ran his finger over Troy's nose, smiling to himself.
Troy flickered his eyes slightly open, momentarily feeling slightly alarmed that there was a hand on his face, before he realised who the hand belonged to, and he relaxed.
"Oh, you're awake." Chad smiled to him, removing his hand.
"Mmm." Troy said, closing his eyes again. He didn't feel like talking and his eyes were scratchy and heavy.
"You gonna get up? I got us some pizza."
"Gimme a few minutes." Troy mumbled.
"Oh… okay." Chad said, dejectedly standing up and deciding to put the ice cream in the freezer. He went through to the kitchen, and when he returned, Troy's eyes were half open, his mouth curved into a slight smile.
"I don't think I have the energy to even sit up." Troy smiled lazily. "Come here."
Chad smiled back, walking over to Troy. He sat down on the edge of the bed once again.
"Get in." Troy instructed, yawning slightly. Chad grinned, kicking his shoes off, and climbing under the covers that Troy was pulling aside for him.
Troy placed his right hand on Chad's right shoulder, and snuggled up close to him.
"I missed you." Troy mumbled, closing his eyes once again.
"How? You were asleep!" Chad softly spoke, letting out a tiny laugh.
"Why are you laying there so rigid?" Troy sighed. "Cuddle me."
Chad let out a silent laugh at the sleepy Troy's words. He slid out from under the covers, in order to pull his jeans down. He assumed Troy wouldn't think he was being too forward - he figured every teenage boy or someone of a similar age knows that you can't get comfortable in bed with jeans on. He slipped back into his bed, to the evident delight of Troy, who moved closer into Chad's body. Chad wrapped his arms around Troy, pulling him against his own body.
"Mmm… that's better." Troy smiled, eyes still closed.
"Don't go back to sleep." Chad said, feeling Troy relaxing more and more under his touch. "I got pizza."
"What's wrong with cold pizza?"
Chad grinned, and laughed.
"Well… we'll get up in a minute…"
------
Chad woke up, to find himself huddled up with Troy, spooning him. He buried his face in Troy's neck, and ran his hand over a hairy, muscled thigh.
"Hey." Troy mumbled. He shifted himself round to face Chad.
"Wow." Chad grinned. "It's amazing to wake up next to you."
"I feel… just… happy." Troy smiled, eyes half closed. "Guess we should get up. Eat some pizza."
"I wanna stay here forever." Chad contently sighed.
"C'mon." Troy laughed, sliding himself out of Chad's bed.
Chad sighed, and reluctantly sat up in his bed. He rubbed his eyes, and watched Troy walk around his bed, dressed in a shirt and boxers, the same as himself. He slid out of bed to join Troy at his desk.
"So you didn't have practise today?" Chad asked, watching Troy open the pizza boxes and observe the toppings.
"Nope. Gabriella actually flew out today to coincide with my day off."
"Aw, that was sweet."
"I should go soon, though." Troy sighed, eating a slice of pizza. "I need to sort the apartment out."
"Okay." Chad sighed.
"This pizza's good!" Troy said, holding up a slice. "Cold pizza is what college life is all about, surely?"
"I hardly live the typical college life." Chad laughed.
"You should! Some of us don't get the opportunity."
"I feel so sorry for you." Chad rolled his eyes.
Troy finished another slice of pizza, before coyly finding his jeans and pulling them on.
"Come round soon." Troy smiled, placing his arm around Chad's shoulders. "See you soon?"
"Yeah." Chad smiled. "I'll call you."
Troy giggled and shook his head.
"Later, man." He patted Chad on the back, before pausing and kissing him.
"bye Troy." Chad replied, grinning.
------------
A few days later, Troy was lonely, sitting alone in the very apartment he was used to sharing with Gabriella. It was a cold night outside, the apartment was warm with the central heating on full blast, however without the friendly warmth of company, Troy felt cold.
He resisted the urge to call Chad. He didn't wanna seem needy. Needy? This was Chad, his best friend since, like forever, he knew he could be himself around Chad. Maybe he didn't have to play these stupid early-relationship games.
So, he dialled the number.
"Hey!" Chad answered after one ring, sounding cheerful. "How's it going, man?"
"Pretty good." Troy replied. After a second or two he said, "Actually… It's pretty lonely over here. You busy?"
"Aw, Troy. I've got a huge assignment to do but I shouldn't take too much longer. I'll put another hour in and I'll come over. Deal?"
"You're doing homework on a Friday night?!"
"If I finish it now, I've got the whole weekend free…"
"Do it. See you later."
----
Exactly an hour later, and Troy had cleared up a few things and changed his clothes. He looked at the clock, and now allowed himself to start expecting Chad. He continued to watch TV, but the volume subconsciously turned down to a quiet level, just in case he didn't hear the doorbell, which had always been ridiculously loud.
Troy's apartment wasn't too far from the U of A dorms. On a night, rather like tonight, it would probably take twenty minutes to drive. Troy hoped that Chad would drive fast. Half an hour later, Troy was quite on edge, almost thinking that Chad was never going to come.
But when the doorbell rang, he was the door, opening it before it had even stopped chiming.
"Hey." Chad smiled, stepping over the threshold.
Troy grinned at him, before stepping towards him.
"I need a big hug." He sighed, throwing his arms around Chad, and pulling him close.
"Hey!" Chad laughed softly. "Let's go inside first. Your neighbours will love this…"
Troy dropped his arms from around Chad, stepped aside to let him in, and closed the door behind him.
"Thanks for coming over."
"Oh, it's my pleasure." Chad grinned. "Anyway, I missed you."
Troy reached out and took Chad's hand, as they reached the living room.
"I always…" Troy trailed off practically as soon as he started speaking.
"What?" Chad asked, frowning and smiling at the same time. Troy sighed, and smiled shyly with a slight blush.
"I always miss you when you're not here."
"Awww." Chad giggled through a huge grin.
"You know…" Troy laughed, "If I had ended up going to U of A, we would have a lot more time to spend together."
"I dunno…" Chad shrugged. "If you went to U of A, you wouldn't have met Gary, or JP for that matter. You might not have realised you were gay yet."
"Hey, I guess you're right. Everything happens for a reason." Troy nodded. He sat down on the couch, Chad sitting down next to him, his head on Troy's chest. Troy put his arm around him and lay his hand on his chest.
"Chad…" Troy looked down at the boy's hair, biting his lip. "What Gabriella said… about you moving in…"
"Uh huh?" Chad replied simply and innocently, placing his hand on Troy's knee.
"I know we both dismissed it immediately, but…" Troy cleared his throat. "… you could. If you wanted."
Troy scratched his head nervously when Chad didn't reply.
"If you wanted." He repeated. "I know we haven't been together very long but… It's not as if we don't know everything about each other, and…" Troy sighed. "If you want to."
"I guess I could." Chad replied, biting his lip to stifle his ecstatic grin. "Yeah. I actually hang out here quite a lot so it's practically like my home already."
"Is that a yes?"
"Yeah." Chad grinned, sitting up and facing Troy. "Sure."
Troy grinned to himself at Chad's expression, an ecstatic grin now being allowed to spread across his face.
"Awesome."
Chad leaned over, and kissed Troy. He cupped his cheek, gently squeezing it, as Troy wrapped his strong arms delicately around Chad's neck. The both of them fell deeply into the kiss, forgetting everything; where they were, what day it was, even what prompted the kiss. The only thing they could remember was how they felt for each other, how good this felt, and exactly what they wanted to do.
Troy slid down from his seating position, as Chad crawled on top of him. He thrust his fingers into Chad's curls, squeezing when their hips met. He slid his hands down to those very hips, belonging to his best friend turned lover.
This was a whole different experience. Many a time he had been getting carried away on this very couch, and if anyone was gonna be on top of him, it would be the small frame of Gabriella. But now, with Chad letting his full weight fall on Troy, it felt strange, but good; Awesome.
Troy sighed, closing his eyes. As Chad left Troy's lips behind in favour of his neck, Troy slid his fingers under Chad's shirt, and caressed his smooth back with his fingertips. Troy felt his toes curl up, feeling increasing passion running through his veins, bucking his hips slightly.
Chad was pleased to feel a poking in his hip. He felt Troy quickly pull his hands up, pulling Chad's shirt with it. It was soon over his head and been tossed somewhere. Chad propped himself up on his elbows, and unbuttoning Troy's black shirt, dotting kisses along his chest as it was exposed. When he finally reached the last button, he pulled the shirt open and admired Troy's chest. He trailed a finger all the way down it, his breath catching in his throat every time it reached a bump in it's journey.
His finger finally met where his lips were kissing and sucking on flesh, just below Troy's bellybutton. He ran it delicately over the slight trail of hair, which disappeared under Troy's jeans. Chad was now faced with the very thing that had been poking him in the hip a moment ago. He took a breath, before fumbling to pull open Troy's belt.
"Chad…" Troy mumbled, involuntarily, glancing down through fuzzy vision, to where Chad's lips were dangerously close to the place his fumbling hands were currently putting massive strain on. Chad finally managed to undo Troy's belt, hurriedly undoing the button on his jeans, and pulling down the zip.
Troy groaned as fingers brushed his erection, before those same fingers rushed to pull his jeans down, and off, leaving Troy, sweating and panting below Chad, in just his bulging boxers. Chad grinned. He ran a finger purposely over Troy's bulging erection, enjoying watching Troy buck, writhe, and groan.
"Chad!" Troy whimpered, as Chad met Troy's face again and thrust his own lips against his. He brought a hand up to Troy's face, and brushed the sweaty, matted hair out of his eyes. "You're a beast." Troy said, with a frustrated sigh. "A sexy beast."
Despite the situation they were in, and despite where it was inevitably going, this comment made Chad blush, with a hint of pride, and with great satisfaction. He swiftly moved himself down to face Troy's erection once more.
As he took a breath, and grabbed the waistband of Troy's boxers and pulled them down over the bulge that lay below, Chad grinned widely as he lay his eyes on probably the only part of Troy's body he hadn't seen. Certainly not in this state, anyway.
And if Chad had any kind of doubt about his feelings, about being gay, or at least partly gay, they went away with the urges and passion running through his veins at laying eyes on this sight.
"Chad!" Troy repeated, urgency tainting his speech. He involuntarily bucked his hips and his breath sped up, as he felt Chad's breath on his erection.
Chad felt dizzy. He couldn't quite believe what was happening, as he opened his mouth and took Troy's penis into his mouth. It was a strange feeling, a new feeling, but Chad was beginning to become quite accustomed to new feelings recently. He playfully stroked his tongue around as Troy let out gurgling moans.
Troy was so blinded with passion and ecstasy, that he could barely collect his thoughts together. He couldn't even let out an organised moan, noise just cascaded out of his mouth as the man below him surprisingly expertly pleased him.
Troy gripped, and slightly pulled Chad's hair. Chad barely even noticed, as he himself was almost dizzy with ecstasy. The pulling increased as Troy grew nearer and nearer to the inevitable, and could have sworn that he'd blacked out for a second or two. Next thing he knew, he released with a thrust of his hips and a deafening scream. Chad, for a second, didn't know what to do with the strange tasting fluid in his mouth, but thought best to swallow it.
Troy kept his eyes closed, he had no energy to even lift his eyelids. He could hear Chad breathing heavily, and laying his head on his chest. He loosened the grip of his hand which was still messily entwined in Chad's hair.
"God, Chad." He managed to mumble.
