Diary of a Frat boy Part IV

Immediately following our little escapade Ben had very little to say to me, for the most part we dressed in silence. I watched through stolen glances as Ben riffled through drawer after drawer searching for a clean t shirt. When he found one he liked I watched him slide it over his stone hard body. It was a sleeveless shirt that he had cut the sleeves off himself. As I slid a pair of blue jeans over my underwear and fidgeted with the zipper and button, I kept watching Ben wondering what was going through his head. He was standing there he held one hand to his forehead like he had forgotten something. He was only wearing a raggedy t shirt and some cloth blue and red stripped boxer briefs. But still he looked amazing to me. I stared at his well toned arms with cute tan lines from wearing short sleeved shirts all the time and his massive thighs protruding out of his skimpy underwear. 

Just then Ben broke his concentration of whatever he was thinking about and glanced over at me. His head was squatting down searching for something and he looked up at me from just the tops of his eyes. He caught my eyes smiled then turned away. Throwing on a really nice looking blue polo shirt that made his eyes sparkle and a pair of plaid shorts that seemed tailor made for the fraternity community. I had seen it on everyone this fall and neglected to get a pair myself but I loved the way the looked on other people especially the way the hugged Ben’s tight ass but I never felt like they were for me. 

Ben finished his outfit with an oversized trucker hat which he cocked to the side and after I tossed on a muscle fitted t and a pair of sunglasses we were on our way out of the house. As Ben and I began our walk back through campus to the football stadium. The sun was shinning through a partly cloudy sky which, all in all, made for a really nice day. I was thankful that I had decided to go with the sunglasses. I felt like I had something to hide from the world and the shades were protecting me. 

I was determined for this walk to be different…better than the previous one back to the house so I decided that I would have to break the awkward silence. 
“So where you serious about that STD thing earlier?” I ask him while letting out a quick breath of air. I shoot my head back and stare up at the sky rather than make eye contact with Ben.

Ben shoved his hands in his pockets and stared down at the sidewalk that we are walking down. It was so adorable he was acting like a little kid who had just been told to go to time out or something. His face was flushing red as he took in a deep breath, “Yeah” he says in a whisper “but I want you to know that you’re totally safe man. I mean I was extra careful and everything I … I swear man.”
I let out a half-assed laugh as we continued down the path to the stadium. I could hear the crowd of fans who were all rushing in through the various entrances. We were just outside of the parking lot now it would still be at least five minutes before we were near the entrance. So I searched for more things to say.

I had failed to notice that Ben wasn’t done yet, he had been searching for words and he continued on saying “I went to see the campus doctor and he gave me a clean bill of health.” He said with a smile almost proudly. 
“Well I guess that’s a relief to hear,” I said earnestly “But…” I hesitated.
“What is it Ty?” Ben asked messing up my hair “You gotta believe me right?”
“Sure, sure, I mean why would you lie about that right… It’s just that, you know in order to get an STD I mean didn’t you have to, well, technically get it from someone?” This was really difficult for me so I tried to tread as lightly as possible.
Ben scoffed “That’s a really good point Einstein” he said jokingly. 

It was impressive how light hearted he was about this but I couldn’t help but take offense to his poking fun at me. I mean sure he’s had months to process this but I was just beginning to understand it all. I must have been wearing my frustration on my face because Ben quickly changed his tone.
With one hand Ben grabbed the bill of his hat and removed it from his head and with the other he ran his hand through his dark locks. He let out another tired breath.
“Yeah… I guess I sort of owe you an explanation, don’t I?” 
“that would be nice” was the first thing that came to mind but I didn’t want to be rude so I just sort of tried to look disinterested. 
By now we were mid parking lot and anxious fans were running to and fro some still tailgating, others tossed footballs through the air, and some were actually still eating. And by eating I mean getting in a few more beers before they entered the game. 

“Hey… you don’t owe me any explanation… it was a long summer” I tried to say this with out it seeming too heavy. I wanted a light statement that could be taken any way, I didn’t want him to think I was happy, or upset, or anything because I didn’t know what I was feeling about the situation yet. 
“Right…” Ben said with a confused look on his face. “I’m serious Tyler I should explain…” But before he could continue on we heard a fury of footsteps come from behind us. 
As we turned around someone called out, “Hey Downing, Ben what happened you guys get lost or something?”
“Yeah did you forget where we were tailgating? You guys missed all the festivities.” Walker Porter had cried out. Walker was a fifth year senior who had made it pretty clear that he enjoyed the social aspects of our campus more than the scholarly portions. 

In all there were about 20 or so of our brothers, in a miniature mob making there way into the game. Ben and I eventually spread apart as we mixed in with the group of guys. This all just reminded me of how typical this was for this entire semester so far. The fraternity boys were once again separating me from what I really wanted, Ben.

When the game was over I was exhausted from all the cheering. It was a really close game, our team only one because the others team kicker blew a field goal at the end of the game. The entire stadium was standing the whole game, cheering, screaming, booing the works it was enough to tire a guy out. 
By the time me and the rest of our group walked out into the parking lot the electricity from the game still buzzing through us. People passed us on our walk back in their cars honking and carrying on. A couple of the guys even hopped into cars that were filled with girls and guys inviting us over for victory parties. It was still in the earlier afternoon and I didn’t much feel like drinking just yet so I and a couple guys walked on. 

Most of the stadium traffic had passed us by and I looked around and the group of guys and laughed to myself. We started out as a pack in the 20s and now had dwindled down to a group of 5 or 6. It was me, Walker Anderson, Jake Johnson, Reed Waters, Lucas Hixson “Hix”, and Ben. On our way back the conversation was filled with talk of this play and that or horrible calls that almost lost us the game and before we knew it we had made it back to the frat we called home. The home where 78 young men ate, slept, and bathed together. 

“So, what are you guys going to do now?” Walker asked the group. We were all standing in the main common room on the first floor. The house was pretty ghostly. Everyone who hadn’t gone home for the weekend, was probably on there way to one party or another. 
“Who’s crappy idea was it to come back?” Jake asked, then shoved Hix on the shoulder. Jake was a junior, black, 6’3’’, 210lbs easy. Despite his dominating appearance he was probably one of the nicest guys in the house. Would let you borrow anything he owned, car, clothes, even his room for the night if you asked him. Like most of the guys in the house he liked to keep in shape and believe me it worked. I could see the light wet stains the contours of his muscles were left on his cotton shirt from the long walk back. 
“Whatever dude don’t blame me” Hix let out in a laugh as he toppled over, grabbing Ben’s shoulder for balance. “Besides shouldn’t you be checking in with the ole wifey about this time anyways” Hix directed playfully back at Jake. 

Luc Hixson was your typical fraternity kid, sophmore. He came from a good amount of money he didn’t have a care in the world was going to college for his first four to eight years just to have a good time and let life work itself out in the meantime. He had dirty blonde shoulder length naturally wavy hair that dangled wildly over his face most of the time, so he was constantly flipping it and pulling it back. Luke stood somewhere around 5’8”, 5’9” with no way of weighing more than 140 soaking wet. He was a runner too we had even gone for runs together a couple of times this semester. I liked him a lot, though he had a say anything attitude that could really piss some people off. Luc had a twin brother too his name was Lance he was an independent and every time anyone talked to him from our house they always tried to get him to join. 

“I don’t know about you boys but I’m gonna go get something to eat, I’m starved.” Said Ben breaking into the conversation. 
“You fatty!” Hix belted out while laughing. “Didn’t you just eat a couple hours ago, at the tailgate, or what did you think that food was for? The homeless?” The room erupted in laughter, I couldn’t hold back once everyone else started. That was the type of stuff that came out of Hix mouth that could get him into trouble with a crowd of strangers or something. 
Ben let a smile creep onto his face, then in a flash was across the circle of friends pulling at Hix’s clothes as he was trying to pull away. Everyone was still laughing as they watched the spectacle. Hix was no match for Ben who was 5’11” and tipped the scales around 180lbs of muscle. Ben flipped Luke over one of the couches in the common room and had him pinned with both arms stuck behind his back and his hips pressed smashed against the couch back. 

“Anybody want a piece of this bitch?!” Ben cried out to Walker, Jake, Reed and I. Then Ben swung his powerful arm back and laid one hard smack down on Hix’s round waiting ass. I have to admit seeing Ben dominate Hix like that made me a little hot. Everybody cringed when they heard the sound. Luc let out a huge yelp and the room including Ben and Lucas started laughing all over again. 
Hix had managed to wiggle his way loose from Ben. His face was turning really red with anger and embarrassment he was rubbing his ass cheeks with both hands and when he was a safe distance away said “Don’t be gay dude.” 

Then Reed, who hadn’t done anything but laugh the entire time said “You know you liked it Hix, bet you’ll watch you mouth next time.” Reed said between muffled giggles. Reed and Jake were roommates, Reed was a in his junior year also. He was a meek guy he never had much to say most of the time about anything he kept to himself. He was modestly attractive all American looking guy probably 5’8” 160lbs with dark reddish brown hair that had a slight curl to it and he was fair skinned, but not overly freckled. Then he continued “Ben you should give him one for every birthday you missed.”

The five of us exploded again and Ben took a quick step in Hix’s direction which made him flinch then rejoined the group. Having nothing else to say as he passed Reed he flicked Reed’s hat off his head, then with a snap of his wrist caught Reed with a light flick in the nuts. Before anyone knew it Reed was doubled over coughing. Everyone laughed and winced sharing in Reed’s all too familiar pain. 

“Enough’s, enough” Ben said with his hands up “You fags can hang around here and play with each other’s dicks for the rest of the day for all I care but I’m serious, I’m gonna go get something to eat …” Ben left his guard down and his hands up for far too long and caught a quick snap of Luc’s wrist to his own crotch, but it was too high. 
“You missed,” Ben let out in a tense gasp “nice try though.” Now everyone was covering their junk. 
“What are you going to go eat?” I asked realizing that I hadn’t eaten anything all day either. 
“Seriously though didn’t you guys eat at the cookout? Shit I know I did” Jake said.
“No… uh, we got a little sidetracked carrying Chris’s couch through the mud remember?” I told them looking down at everyone’s clutch crotches. 
“Oh yeah you two girls fell in the mud and had to go hose each other down” Hix said smiling ear to ear. “Wait… oh… wait a second Downing what’s that?” he asked point towards my head.
“Oh yeah I see it to,” Walker jumped in, “Ben you dog, did you give Downing here a hickee?” 

My eyes got as wide as dinner plates all the blood rushed to my cheeks and I got felt like I was cooking from the inside my eyes shot up and met Ben who was laughing along with the rest of them.
Then I heard in a low voice “haha, yeah, you know we saw how Ben likes it rough.” Followed by more laughing. I didn’t need to look up to know it was Jake’s deep voice.
A second passed but it felt like a minute until I realized Walker and Hixson were just kidding. I could feel the sweat running down my back chest and nether regions. I wiped the stunned look off my face then ran my hands through my hair and held them around my neck just to be sure. I was still stunned and stood there waiting for the attention to turn to someone else.

I got my break when someone’s phone began to ring. Everyone dove their hands into their pockets but once we heard the ringer we all knew who’s phone it was. It was playing some stupid pop love song and we all almost simultaneously blurted out “Hi Mrs. Jacob Johnson.” Jake flipped open his phone and walked out of the room.
“Jake are you going to go eat” Ben yelled after him, Jake tossed his hand back at us lazily suggesting he probably wasn’t coming. 
“Either of you three going, besides Ty?” Ben said turning to Reed, Walker, and Hix. 
Walker was the first to answer, “Hell, I got nothing better to do I’ll go and at least kill some time. 

Reed said no he had some stuff he wanted to get done before tonight. And Hix said he wanted to go meet up with his brother. So Ben, Walker and me headed off to an early dinner. While Lucas and Reed made their way upstairs.

**** 

As Lucas Hixson and Reed Waters ascended the stairs to the third floor of the fraternity where they lived they could here the faint laughing of their friends as they ran off to dinner. Hix was several steps ahead of Reed as they slowly walked up the steps. Hix didn’t seem to be paying much attention to Reed behind him. 

As Reed followed behind, he kept glancing up at Luc, watching his nicely shaped ass clench underneath his khaki shorts as Luc walked up the stairs. Soon Reed’s entire attention was focused on the shape that Hix’s ass took as he pulled himself up the stairs. Reed began to walk slower as he concentrated less on walking and more on his friends ass until he almost tripped up the stairs. Reed grabbed hold of the rail and continued to follow Lucas up. The house was almost one hundred years old and the staircase was very steep. Reed had always hated how difficult the stairs were and how long it took but today he was in no hurry with the eyeful he was getting. 

Just before Luc, who was almost half a flight of stairs ahead of Reed now, made it to the third floor landing Hix slid his hand down his back side underneath his pants waist line and rubbed his ass where Ben had spank him minutes earlier. Reed practically gasped out loud at the sight. As Hix moved his hand further down his arm drug his pants and underwear lower until Reed got a quick glance at the top of Hix ass. Reed was moving in slow motion still walking up the stairs, he was beside himself, getting closer and closer to Hix, until the bottom of his foot hit the edge of one of the step and Reed tripped, he was violently accelerated up the remaining steps. 

Reed reached out for anything to stop him from crashing right into the back of Luc but nothing was slowing him down. As Reed’s knee smashed into one of the steps he cried out! Hix who was concentrating on his sore ass, winced in pain and then realized what was happening just had enough time to turn to one side. Reed fell chest into the side of Hix’s arm which pushed Hix falling backwards onto the floor and rolling over, like a log, through the third floor common area. 

“Hey, what the hell was that for!” Luc was on his feet again, storming his way back to the staircase. 
“Whoa, sorry man, calm down… I mean I didn’t do it on purpose, easy” Reed was stuttering his nerves were at an all time high, and the blood was pumping through him so fast he could feel it in his already bruising knee. 

Hix was standing over him now with a look of blind aggression in his eyes. “You could’ve at least warned me that your clumsy ass was falling, what’s the deal forget how to walk and breathe at the same time or did you just trip over your own two feet?”
“Seriously Lucas, I just got distracted alright…” Reed’s face was flushing embarrassed because he didn’t want to tell Luc how he had been fantasizing about his ass and that was the real reason he almost fell into his ass. “I didn’t mean anything by it alright now just help me up, please.”

Hix paused waiting a second before extending a hand down and pulling Reed to his feet. “What’s got you so distracted you can’t walk up stairs man? I hope it was something good, you could have broken something… like me.” Lucas said letting out an over enthusiastic laugh. 
Once Reed was on his two feet he took a step and about collapsed to the floor again, but braced himself on Lucas’s shoulder. “Ahh!” he hollered out in pain. 
“Geez man, here you go again.” Lucas whined, trying to keep his balance and supporting Reed. Luc shifted over and now he was holding Reed on either side of his waist. While Reed had his hands on both of Luc’s shoulders which made it look like they were slow dancing together. 

Reed apologized and let out a breathy sigh/laugh. “Okay, I think I can make it now.” Reed said in almost a whisper. Lucas’ face was inches from his own and Reed could smell the cologne mixed with sweat from his day outside. Lucas was staring back at Reed with a slight smirk on his face. Reed’s mind was racing with thoughts of how he had gotten to this moment and what would happen next. Reed though he was getting the all clear but didn’t want to initiate anything incase he was wrong.

“Are you sure?” Lucas asked still watching Reed intently. “I’m going to let go now, you got it?” Lucas felt Reed’s abs tighten as he laughed and watch his face flush with embarrassment. Then he let his arms fall to his side and felt the pressure relieve from his shoulders as Reed let go too. 

Reed took a couple of awkward steps but by the third time he put pressure on his bum knee he was fine, walking with a slight limp. The two of them then headed down the hallway to where their rooms were. They both lived on the same side of the third floor and both had roommates. It occurred to Reed that the past five minutes were probably the longest that Lucas had ever gone without insulting him, though he had to admit it wasn’t under the best circumstances. At the same time a disturbing little thought kept running through his mind “Dude, you should have gone for it, he was begging you…” They both tried to push the though out of their mind and they walked side by side down the hallway.

Once they both made it past Lucas’s room, Reed had to ask “What’s the deal man?”
“Huh?” Lucas replied
“You just walked past your room.” 
“Oh…” Luc laughed “Uh, I guess I didn’t notice… I was sort of distracted, thinking about something you know?”
“Ha, yeah I follow.” Reed said, he started to pat him on the back but fell short and tried to play it off by adjusting his pants around his slightly swollen knee.
“Ah, hell, I gotta go to the restroom anyway.” Luc speed up his walk into a jog as he turned into the restroom door leaning with his back against it he said “I guess I’ll see you later man…”
