Namely, the embarrassing erection I'm sporting underneath my shorts. Just let me drown already. I keep my chin dipped in the cool water.
Trevor and I float around in the pool for a few more minutes. When the last sign of the sun disappears from the sky, Trevor hoists himself out of the pool. He stands there in all his almost-naked glory, dripping onto the concrete. "You coming?" he asks.
"Uh, I'm going to stay in for a bit longer."
My dick still hasn't softened.
"Not too long," Trevor calls out as he heads inside the house. Though he pokes his head back out to leave me a clean towel.He's always nice and thoughtful like that. Always taking care of me.
I float for a few more minutes. It's only when I see the bedroom light go on that I pull myself out and dry off as much as I'm able. Once I'm inside, I strip down to my boxers in the half-bath.
By the time I make my way upstairs, the bedroom is silent. Trevor is already fast asleep. I tip-toe into the room, I'm as quiet as a mouse as I find another pair of boxers. And a T-shirt. I move slowly as I get into bed, not wanting to disturb Trevor.
Yeah, we've been sharing a bed. In the whirlwind of getting married and moving in together, it somehow slipped both our minds to buy two mattresses. Trevor insisted I take the bed, but I pleaded with him to share it with me. He's the only one of us working right now. I'm not even taking any classes yet. Trevor needs to sleep more than me.
With my dick behaving again, it doesn't feel awkward as I lay down next to him.
And if I cuddle up a little too close to my best friend during the dark of the night, well, I blame it on the chill of the desert.
Chapter 3
Trevor
Ever since I went through basic training, I haven't been able to sleep a single minute past six.
I'm wide awake at the crack of dawn, squinting my eyes in the cool darkness of the bedroom. I rise before the sun is out to play…and I'm not the only one to get an early start to the day.
Cameron's risen too.
Well. More like Cameron's dick rises to attention. His morning wood nudges my thigh.
Biting back a smile, I gently peel myself away from Cameron's octopus-like cuddle grip. And leave his raging erection in peace. I don't think twice about the morning wood situation. I'm sporting a stiffy myself.
This is just bodies doing body shit.
It doesn't mean anything. It can't mean anything.
Not when Cameron is straight.
He lets out an adorable snore as he snoozes away. I sneak out of the bedroom. It'll be hours until he's awake, so I help myself to some alone time. I yawn and scratch my belly as I walk shirtless down the hall, heading to the second bedroom.
Family housing rules. After spending so many years cramped in the barracks, I feel like a king finally having a house. And I'mthe luckiest man in the world that I get to share it all with my best friend.
I close the second bedroom quietly behind me. I guess more of a home office and gaming room right now. Both of our computers are set up there. In the next few weeks, we'll convert it into Cameron's bedroom so he has a space all his own, but I have to admit, I like sharing the main bedroom with him.
And having him in my bed at night.
I love my best friend, okay? And I've beenin lovewith Cam from the moment I realized I was gay. It's always been him, and always will be, even if I know I'll never be able to have my dick in him.
But I can provide for him. Look after him. Help Cameron grow into himself and heal from the hardballs life threw his way. That's what best friends do for each other, right? Husbands too.
When Cameron called me last month panicked about college and overwhelmed with his ADHD diagnosis, well, the solution was right there.
Get married so I could put Cameron on my fancy health insurance plan so generously provided by our great nation in exchange for my service. And he needed to focus on his health first and foremost. Why not have him take a break from college and move in with me?
If I can fix something there's no way I'm going to leave it broken. Some people might consider our situation fucked up, but fuck them. I figure the government owes me.
I'll always be willing to do whatever it takes to take care of Cameron. Though right now I need to take care of myself.
