Nick And Rex

Rex Coulson was your average American teenager. He played sports and what not at his local high school. He excelled in a lot of things and wasn't the dumb jock, he was president of his class and had lots of scholarship and college worthy deeds under his belt. He was very handsome as well.

He was 6'2", black hair that would hang out a but under his 59 fifty hats, deep blue eyes, and a well toned muscular body. His skin was flawless and he had the perfect face, angular and straight as if carved out of marble. He had a pale complexion. His best friend was Nick Stevenson, Nick was just like Rex only he was VP of their class. He had blonde hair but was in all points exactly like Rex. This is the story of how they found out who they really are and also the discovery of their love.

***Rex***

I was just getting out of the shower when my phone rang.
"Hello."
"Hey do you wanna go see Captain America with me tonight?"
"Yeah man, what time?" I said
"The 10 o'clock show."

"Yeah I'll be ready, in thirty minutes. Want me to pick you up or what..."
"I can pick you up. And did you get the physics homework done?"
"I got most of it done." I said "Why it aint due until next week?"
"I was just wondering." Nick said.
I was waiting in my living room watching tv with my mom when I heard the horn honk.
"Bye mom." I rushed up
"Bye Rex."

I ran out across the lawn into the dark. The moonlight was shining off the previously watered lawn. Nick was texting or doing something with his phone when I saw his face illuminated with his Camero's dash and his phone. I could see his perfect face, with rosey cheeks, he had the most beautiful feature I've ever seen. He looked up at me and smiled.

"Are we going to the movies or not?" he snapped be back into reality
"Yeah...sorry I though I forgot something." I said while getting in his car

"I don't know of you know this Rex, but Captain America and Ironman have this rivalry thing an well I think I found out why. Here I pulled this off FB just now."
He showed me a pic of Robert Downey Jr. and the actor who plays Captain America in full movie costumes, kissing. I stared at it for a couple of seconds, and couldn't help but notice how both actors looked really handsome. I looked up at Nick who was smiling.
"You have got to be the biggest dork ever dude... I mean most people wouldn't understand this meme per se, but you do." I tried to say humorously but came off as sheepish

"Hey man don't insult my dull knowledge of comic books and especially of Marvel comic books."
"Whatever dude lets get out of here." we drove off.

The best part about Nick was that when the two of us didn't have much to talk about we would either race someone and talk after or he would turn his music up to full volume. He did the latter situation. He had the best taste in music, it allowed me to think even when it was at ear drum blasting levels with his state-of-the-art sound system as he would have it. Mine was better though. I was able to think about what I saw in Nick and how his face and that picture connected to me. I always knew I was gay, and I always knew that I loved Nick. I don't know how many nights of sleep I lost just thinking about a life between the two if us. I was thinking of how great it would be between the two of us and how I would live my life for him. My hand was on his center consol when I felt his cool, big hand on top my own. I looked into his eyes that were amplified blue due to his dash and the lights he had in his car.

"We're here Rex...are you tired? I can take you home of you are."
"No, I'm fine I was just deep in thought." I smiled a reply
"Okay then let's go."

We walked into the IMAX and didn't have to wait in line surprisingly. We were only two of few in our theater. The movie was playing but I wasn't paying much attention I was still thinking about Nick. Some thoughts were, admittedly of us making love. I kept on imagining his lips on mine, his body against mine, our members in each other. Soon the movie was over, and we walked out to the car.

"So how did you like Captain America?"
"It was pretty awesome I suppose." I answered
"Well did you enjoy yourself?"
"Yeah, it was better than staying at home."
"Rex are you okay? There's just something off about you tonight, like your waiting for court or something." he asked concerned
"I fine Nick... It's, it's... Just something you can't fathom Nick." I said tiredly and lazily "I'm just really tired bro."

"Do you just wanna sleep over at my house it's closer than yours?" he offered
"Yeah... I think it's just the stress of trying to maintain my GPA and I mean in a few months we're graduating." I mustered an excuse
"Yeah I know it's tough but don't let it get to you dude." he said and hugged me.

I was quite shocked at this, it wasn't weird or gay if so to say, it was just vague. I hugged him back, the hug was longer than an ordinary bro hug should've been. It turned into bromance and/or romance. Both of us didn't want to let go, I knew I didn't, and each time I would give a deliberate shrug he would squeeze me tighter and closer. I finally realized it was too much than I could bare, I pulled away while trying to hold back tears. I so wanted to tell him how I felt, maybe that's why I almost cried, but I knew it would be next to impossible. We pulled into Nick's driveway and proceeded to go inside. He put his sleeping bag and set up his own bed on the floor. I borrowed some of his trunks and drifted off to sleep.

**Nick**

I knew that something a lot more was bothering Rex, it wasn't just his school work. I mean it was easy for him maintain his 4.0 GPA and something had to be nagging at his conscience. I just couldn't figure out what it was, he sounded happy when I asked him if he wanted to go to the IMAX. He could be feeling sorry for himself but he really has no concept of what I'm going through. I've always loved Rex, it wasn't until last year in gym when I would catch myself looking at his body and bulge in the locker room. I was scared to tell him, but who wouldn't be? Well I have to cut him some slack he's always been my sensitive Rex.

I always remembered him crying over a dog that was tied in a front yard crying to be let loose. He just wanted to take it home with him because he said it looked sad. That was Rex for me, he always had a sensitive spot. He wasn't no pussy though, he fought people before and even got some pretty bruised body parts from sports, he was just "emotional". I eventually was able to sleep when I heard Rex's light snoring that sounded like my little brother sleeping. I looked at him and have the usual kiss in the forehead before turning off my MacBook and laying on the floor. But something held me back.

***Rex***

"Don't go..." I said after he kissed my forehead

"Okay." he whispered back and climes in bed next to me. Nick laid on the other side of me. I turned to look at him, his beautiful face, skin, hair, eyes, even scent drew me to him. I didn't do anything but just let the both of us drift off to sleep.

I woke up the next morning and saw him in the bed still, his foot was wrapped around his ankle and Nick's body and face were buried into the mess of pillow, sheet, and comforter. His back was muscular and his arms looked like they belonged on a marble statue at the Vatican. It was an early overcast Saturday morning, the air around me was cool. I was laying next to the hottest guy at WRHS and I was still tired. I vaguely remember grabbing his hand with my own and holding it. It was then he woke up and saw me, our blue eyes met. I then grabbed the left side of his face, I moved over closer to him.

Nick went along with my advances and soon we were right next to each other, his cool sweet breath was blowing into my nostrils. I closed my eyes and moved my face closer to Nick's, his rosy cheeks complimented his soft and pink lips and also his pale angular face, a statue Adonis.
