His First Deep Snow (Straight to Gay in College #5)

Chapter 1

“Still no snow,” Reece said and returned to his seat with a long and heavy sigh.

“Dude, it’ll happen. You just gotta stay positive!” Lance, Reece’s best friend and study buddy, said.

“That’s what you said last year! And it didn’t snow until January.”

So what if Reece was whining? He deserved it. The best part about moving out west to go to college was the mountains! And he’d been denied that in his freshman year!

“It’s a La Nina year. Guaranteed snow. I promise. Now stop procrastinating and help me with this equation. How am I supposed to figure out the p-value?”

“Oh, I just did that one. Here, I’ll show you.” Reece slid his chair closer and leaned in at their shared table.

Lance huddled closer, their arms brushing.

Warmth spread up Reece’s arm, getting as high as his neck. Lance was a tactile person. You’d think after a year of being friends Reece would be used to it, but no.

Lance was like a large furnace. A big brown teddy bear. And completely ripped, couldn’t forget that. Lance could lift Reece up without breaking a sweat - and Reece was only half a head shorter!

As always, Reece unconsciously leaned towards Lance like a plant towards the sun.

Thank God none of their dormmates could see them, or they’d accuse Reece of being just as gay as Lance. Reece didn’t need rumors like that ruining his chances of getting a girl.

It was one of the many reasons the two of them were in the library studying. There was a huge statistics exam coming up, and the only way to survive it was to pull an all-nighter.

Too bad it was against the rules.

Reece hated getting in trouble. Unlike Lance, who thrived on living dangerously. It was what had drawn Reece to him in the first place.

That, and that Lance boldly shared graphic stories about his many hookups. Not just in person, but on his socials too. After friending each other, Reece’s feed became filled with hook-up anecdotes.

Not only that, but Lance shared videos! All in a large, private group he must have accidentally invited Reece to. The videos were shared with the hook-up’s consent, of course.

The comments on the videos were so explicit and thirsty, it was like a window into another culture.

It was nothing at all like Reece’s experiences with girls and sex.

It was also very, very gay.

Lance was brave to put himself out there. Reece wished he had that kind of courage.

Reece had seen more dicks being sucked and asses being fucked in the past year of their friendship than he’d ever thought was possible.

Lance being gay wasn’t a negative, as Reece had always been told. In fact, being friends with a gay man was great! It meant none of the usual bullshit posturing and competing for girls.

If that also meant Reece knew what Lance looked like with his mouth eagerly sucking a dick, then so be it.

During dry spells, Reece often found himself doomscrolling through Lance’s posts, watching day after day as Lance sucked dick. Secretly wishing someone would treat his dick with the same reverence.

It was enough to make any man question if maybe the gays had the right idea. Why shouldn’t Reece give it a try?

Except there was only one person Reece would trust with such a wild experiment - Lance. If only they could do it without ruining their friendship.

Reece wasn’t friends with any of his exes. It’d be the same with Lance. Experimenting wasn’t worth the best friendship he’d ever had. That was a price Reece refused to pay.

“10 minutes until closing!” A voice called out. The hot librarian Lance had been chatting up earlier. “I'd better not catch any of you trying to stay overnight. Again.”

Too bad. That was exactly what Lance had planned.

“Perfect. I needed a break,” Lance said, stretching and cracking his back.

They’d been sitting hunched over like prawns at the computers for too long.

The two of them slowly packed up, in no rush while the other students in the computer lab hurried to finish up whatever they were working on.

As soon as the coast was clear, Reece and Lance snuck over to a dark corner of the library. The lights were already off. The area had been cleared.

And now they played the waiting game.

They laid down side by side. Once again, Lance was a line of heat impossible to ignore.

Breaking the rules like this was more thrilling than Reece had ever anticipated. He kept checking through the gaps in the bookshelves, on high alert.

The real trick would be not falling asleep in the roughly thirty minutes they had to wait.

They couldn’t even use their phones. The light would give them away, like it had the last group that had been caught a week ago.

Reece and Lance would never be that careless.

“How much longer?” Lance whispered into the silence.

“Shh! It’s only been five minutes!” Reece whispered back.

“Ugh, I shouldn’t have chugged the last of my coffee.”

Lance tapped his feet together. His fingers drummed against his chest. His head rocked from side to side.

Lance only lasted five more minutes before he asked, “C’mon, he has to be gone now.”

“No. I think he’s being more thorough after those idiots got caught last month.”

Lance groaned. “He said he wouldn’t check this area. Oh hey, do you want to see-”

“Don’t care. We’re not risking it.”

Then Reece did the unthinkable. He yawned.

“Hey, don’t fall asleep on me.” Lance nudged Reece, bringing their bodies even closer together.

“I won’t, I won’t.”

Lance was vibrating. Reece was powering down. Not good. Reece needed to crack an energy drink or something, but the noise was sure to draw attention.

But the warm body next to him felt so good! He just wanted to curl up into it and fall asleep and - whoa! - where had that thought come from? No! Bad Reece! That’d ruin their friendship!

When was that librarian going to hurry up and leave?

“Fuck it,” Lance said. “I can’t wait any longer.”

Reece and Lance would never be that careless.

The sound of a zipper being undone filled the silence between them.

“What are you doing?” Reece hissed.

Lance had the gall to shush him. “Might as well have fun while we wait. You can watch if you want, I don’t mind.”

The leer in his voice was unmistakable.

“You know I’m straight, you asshole.”

“So? What does that have to do with anything? C’mon, join me. Bet it would keep you awake.”

“But- what if- you can’t- how could you-”

“Stop being such a basic bitch. Live a little!”

What if they got caught? They’d be in even worse trouble than pulling an all-nighter in the library. They could be expelled!

“No, I’m - shh be quiet.”

What was that sound? He thought he’d heard footsteps creeping around. But the librarian wouldn’t sneak around like that.

They weren’t the only ones hiding to pull an all-nighter.

The footsteps stopped. Moved away. Could they hear the sound that was loud in Reece’s ears? The pat pat pat of skin on skin?

The adrenaline coursing through him at the thought of joining meant he was now wide awake, at least.

And his dick loved the idea - it was already trying to bust out of his pants.

As long as they were quiet…

What else was he going to do? Lie here and listen to Lance jack off?

A good wank would help him stay awake while they waited, and he’s always secretly wanted to try jerking off in a public space like this…

“Unless you get off watching me like a cuck,” Lance said, the words scoring an instant KO to Reece’s hesitation.

“Fine. Fine!” Reece whispered.

He unzipped his pants. Pulled himself out.

It was on.
