[M/M] 22 years of hiding my feelings for my "straight" best friend. Today, he complained about his wife, and the tension finally snapped. [Part 1 - When I Stopped Waiting]
When I Stopped Waiting
Note: This is a true story. Some names and details have been altered to protect the privacy of those involved, but the feelings—and the heat—are 100% real.
I
I’m not entirely sure how to start this confession. I suppose the best way is to lay it out straight: this is a true story. Obviously, I’ve changed the names and blurred the identifying details, because by putting this out there, I’m risking an eight-year relationship with my partner—and a hell of a lot more. But I think it’s a story worth telling, if only to prove that sometimes, your darkest fantasies actually do come true. For better or worse. And always when you least expect it.
My name is Luis. I’m thirty-six years old, and I’ve been hopelessly in love with Sergio, my best friend, for almost fourteen years. We met at Pappy Dog, a sweaty, pulsing gay club, back in August of ’94. He was a friend of a friend, but Sergio was strictly straight. He only ended up at Pappy’s because his gay friends had made the sacrifice of dragging him to Tretas first—an old-school straight club—hoping he’d finally hook up with a female. The kid had just turned nineteen and hadn't even popped his cherry yet. But he’d completely chickened out, anchoring himself to the bar, nervously sipping his rum and coke, too paralyzed to make a move on a single woman there.
And once he stepped into Pappy’s, well... his chances of getting laid were pretty much shot.
To put the final nail in the coffin of his night, his buddies vanished into the darkroom, leaving Sergio completely stranded in the quietest corner of the bar. He just stood there, watching a sea of jacked guys rolling on ecstasy grinding against each other, occasionally shooting a hopeful glance at some lesbian walking past on her way to the dance floor.
His night was a total trainwreck until I bumped into our mutual friend in the bathrooms. He was thrilled to see me, dragged me upstairs, and planted me right next to Sergio. He introduced us, begged me to babysit him, and immediately bolted off to suck some cock.
I didn’t mind playing babysitter one bit. The kid was charming, and he was massive—a broad-shouldered guy from the north who easily passed for twenty-five despite being nineteen. And handsome as fuck. Or *guapo de cojones*—handsome as balls—as we say here. Not that I actually got to see his. I fucking wish.
The point is, we hit it off. We started talking, knocking back drinks, and I found out he lived just a couple of blocks from my apartment. At some point in the night, he finally asked me where the hell his friends had disappeared to.
"The darkroom," I replied.
He looked at me, completely clueless.
"What’s that? The bathroom? Is it really that filthy?"
You have to remember, back then, barely anyone had the internet—if it even existed for us yet—and there weren't any explicit shows on TV. Straight guys were completely oblivious to how things actually worked in the gay scene compared to how they are today.
So I explained the concept of a darkroom to him, and his eyes went as wide as dinner plates.
"Wait, so guys just go down there and start fucking?"
"Or sucking cock."
"And there’s no light at all?"
"Just the spark of a lighter every now and then."
"Holy shit. They definitely don’t have that in *normal* clubs."
I let the *normal* comment slide. I didn't bother lecturing him about how Pappy’s was perfectly normal despite being packed wall-to-wall with fags. I had already decided right then and there that he was going to be one of my best friends. I figured I’d be seeing a lot of him, so I’d have plenty of time to educate him later.
Instead, I just grabbed his large hand and pulled him toward the stairs. "Come on. I’ll show you."
"Alright. But if anybody touches me, I’m screaming."
"Deal. And I’ll run you right out of here."
We stepped slowly into the darkroom. The first narrow hallway was lined with men, their eyes tracking us intently under the faint, blueish glow spilling in from the bathrooms. We had to shuffle past them in a tight little train, mostly because Sergio had plastered his front right against my ass like he was glued there. Honestly, it made walking a pain, but the poor kid was spooked. We pushed a little deeper, and soon enough, the darkness swallowed us completely.
"Does it bother you that I'm pressed up against you like this? I'm practically fucking you in the ass," he whispered right into my ear.
A jolt of pure heat shot down my spine.
"God, no. You're turning me on so fucking much right now. You won't hear a single complaint out of me."
"You're fucking with me, right?"
"Not even a little. But don't worry. It doesn't hurt."
"If it doesn't hurt, you can't be that turned on."
"Reach down and feel for yourself."
"Not a fucking chance."
"Alright, alright. Suit yourself."
Like I said, a textbook straight guy. We kept pushing through the pitch black until I let go of his hands. Not that it mattered—he had immediately locked his fingers together right over my stomach, making damn sure I couldn't slip away from him.
"What are you doing?" he asked, sounding borderline panicked.
"Feeling around for the wall. Unless you want me to bust my teeth open in the dark."
"Right. Obviously."
That’s when we heard it. Just to our right. A wet, sloppy sucking sound. The unmistakable noise of someone licking their lips.
"Someone's getting a hell of a blowjob," Sergio whispered, a slight edge of hysteria in his voice.
"Actually, I think someone's getting their ass eaten," I corrected him.
To my surprise, Sergio was the one who pulled a lighter from his pocket and flicked it on, illuminating the whole damn scene.
For a split second, I caught a glimpse of about thirty men getting off in every way imaginable, working with tools of all shapes and sizes.
"Fuck, it's packed in here tonight," I muttered.
Suddenly, someone swatted Sergio's hand hard, sending the lighter flying out of his grip.
"Don't pick it up," he pleaded, as the pitch-black swallowed us again.
"Wasn't planning on it," I replied.
"Jesus, they play rough in here!"
"Did they hurt you?"
"Nah, I'm good."
"It's called a *dark*room for a reason, idiot," I scolded him affectionately. "By the way..."
"A blowjob," he answered. "I was right."
We kept pushing deeper into the darkness for another ten minutes. At one point, a frantic, wet *slap, slap, slap* let us know someone was getting absolutely railed just inches away from us. I waited, my pulse hammering, desperate to feel even the slightest twitch in Sergio's crotch—which was still pressed flush against my ass—but absolutely nothing stirred down there.
When we finally made it out into the light, I gave him the third degree.
"Well? What did you think?”
"Fascinating."
"You didn't even get hard."
"Was I supposed to?"
"When I was your age, just the word 'sex' was enough to get me rock hard."
"You're only three years older than me. And I don't swing that way. Guys don't do it for me."
"But there were people in there literally choking on cock."
"But they were *dudes*."
"But it could've been *your* cock."
"But it's not the same."
"But..."
And he let me keep throwing "buts" at him for the rest of the night, though he stopped arguing back. I suppose Sergio had already decided right then that I was going to be one of his best friends, and that he’d have plenty of time to educate me until I finally grasped that straight guys don't get hard watching men fuck.
Days bled into each other, and I fell hopelessly, disastrously in love with Sergio.
Weeks passed, and I confessed it to him.
Months went by, and our bond only deepened. He gave me all the love I craved—the tight hugs, the raw affection, the constant, lingering physical touch.
Everything. Except sex.
Sometimes we’d even crash in the same bed after a night of heavy drinking. Nothing ever happened, though. Even when I was starving for him, dying to just lean over and taste his mouth, I refused to make a move that might ruin the beautiful thing we didn't quite have.
And I was happy like that for two years. Until Sergio met Marta. And they got married. And I had to go find my own happiness with a guy who was a hell of a lot less straight.
We kept the friendship alive. So much so that Marcos (my boyfriend back then, now my husband), Sergio, his wife, and yours truly would get together for dinner two or three times a month. We spent New Year’s Eve together, organized camping trips, parties, card games, and the occasional vacation. More recently, we’d spend entire weekends binge-watching the first few seasons of *Lost*.
I’m not ashamed to admit that through all of this, I’ve stayed secretly, desperately in love with him. Or that, as the years went by, any physical contact with Sergio—the tight hugs, the casual cheek kisses, the firm handshakes—took on a deeply sexual weight for me. Sergio makes me rock hard. Now more than ever. And I’ll confess right here that I’ve jerked off in his bathroom more than once, fishing his worn boxers out of the laundry hamper and burying my face in the fabric, breathing in the raw, musky scent of his cock.
Anyway. About two months ago, Sergio called my cell. He sounded on edge.
"Did you guys have a fight?" I asked. Sergio and Marta don't usually fight, but when they do, they make a hell of a racket, and it’s usually the DVD player that pays the price, ending up launched right off the balcony. It’s always some cheap DVD player from the supermarket. For some reason, their rage never quite pushes them to smash the expensive premium cable box.
"No. It's not that. Can you come over?”
"Of course. I'm on my way."
It was a Thursday afternoon. I finish work early, and Marcos doesn't get home until nine. I had about two and a half hours to dedicate entirely to Sergio.
I got to his place, rang the bell, and he opened the door shirtless and barefoot, wearing nothing but a pair of loose, white cropped pants hanging low on his hips. The second I saw him, my mouth watered and I was instantly dripping—or as a friend of mine likes to say, my pussy turned into a puddle.
"Come in." To my absolute dismay, he didn't give me his usual welcoming hug.
I followed him to the living room couch, where he slumped down, looking completely defeated.
"What happened?" I asked, starting to actually worry.
"I can't take it anymore. If things keep going like this, I'm leaving her."
So it *was* about Marta after all.
"Same old story?" I asked.
He nodded, giving me these pathetic, kicked-puppy eyes.
The thing is, after more than ten years of marriage, Marta was still absolutely unwilling to suck his cock.
"She has zero problem with me burying my face between her legs and eating her out, but she won't even taste it. Won't even smell it. She won't even let me blow my load on her tits!"
I knew this song and dance by heart. Marta had this bizarre phobia of semen. Just looking at it made her gag, so the risk of him unloading on her tongue was completely out of the question...
"I can't do this anymore. I'm up to my fucking balls with this.”
"Come on, man. You can't rethink your entire marriage over something as trivial as Marta refusing to suck your cock, Sergio."
"Sure, easy for you to say. You actually get your dick sucked..."
"If she was freezing you out completely, that'd be one thing. But you guys are still fucking."
"But I want a fucking blowjob. And then two thousand more, just to make up for lost time."
"And what does she say when you ask?"
"She tells me to go jerk off."
"Have you ever thought about stepping out on her?"
"Have you? Have you thought about cheating on Marcos? Exactly. It's not an option."
I'd cheat on him with you in a heartbeat, you bastard, I thought.
"Well, I don't know what else to tell you. It's a tough problem to fix," I lied, considering I was fully prepared to drop to my knees and solve it for him right then and there.
"For what it's worth, I've always said blowjobs are overrated."
"Right now, I can't think of a single thing I want more."
"That's because you're a prisoner of your own heterosexuality. I'd trade a great blowjob for getting my ass eaten any day of the week." I didn't say it like a transaction, but God, I wished Sergio had taken it as an offer.
"I don't know, man. I think that would gross her out even more."
"Ah. So she hasn't done that either."
"Don't torture me, alright? I already know you get to play the field a lot more than I do."
"Only because you choose not to."
"I think we've made that pretty fucking clear by now, don't you?"
"I didn't mean with me, dumbass—though I wouldn't exactly complain if you offered. I meant with her. I bet she's never even sucked your nipples, has she? I bet it hasn't even crossed your mind to ask."
"She accidentally got a mouthful of my armpit once and looked disgusted for three days straight. Besides, my nipples aren't even sensitive."
"Bullshit. Give me twenty seconds and these two fingers, and I could have you rock hard."
"But you're you, not her."
"So?"
"You're a dude. You couldn't turn me on if I was blackout drunk."
"Come here and prove it."
"No way. If I actually get hard, you'll hold it over my masculinity for the rest of my life."
"You have a seriously warped concept of masculinity. Come on. Get over here. Twenty seconds on the clock."
"Fine."
And to my absolute surprise, he shifted over, laid his head right in my lap, and closed his eyes.
"No tickling."
"I'll stick strictly to the nipples."
"With your fingers."
"Obviously."
"Alright. Go. I'll count in my head."
My heart instantly started hammering against my ribs. For the first time in my life, I had Sergio completely surrendered to my touch for something explicitly sexual. I was actually going to try and turn him on. I was going to rub his nipples with my bare hands, and... I got rock hard, right beneath the weight of his head. He had to be feeling my erection pressing against him, but he didn't pull away.
"Are you gonna start?" he murmured, keeping his eyes closed as he started humming the theme from Kill Bill.
So I brushed his right nipple, agonizingly slow, tracing tiny circles with the tip of my index finger. I was dying to tangle my fingers in the thick, dark hair covering his chest, but I forced myself to stick to the rules, lightly grazing one nipple, then the other.
Sergio shivered slightly. I kept working his nipples, slow and deliberate, while my cock throbbed relentlessly under the weight of his head, which suddenly felt like it was pressing much heavier into my lap. At some point, I realized Sergio had stopped humming. He didn't seem to be counting anymore, either.
I kept massaging him, fully aware that the twenty seconds were long gone and that this could end at any second. So I started pressing a little harder. His nipples went completely rigid, the hair on his arms stood on end, and suddenly, he jolted—and shoved his loose white pants all the way down to his knees.
Without opening his eyes, he leaned back against my crotch, grabbed his cock, and started stroking himself with a brutal, frantic rhythm. My heart was hammering so hard against my ribs that I barely even dared to look down at it. I just kept working his nipples while he jerked off. But then the raw, heavy scent of his cock hit me, and I had no choice but to look.
It was massive—thick, heavily veined, and the exact perfect size to make my mouth water like a starving man. But his balls were almost better. They were so heavy and full that I was desperately tempted to reach down just to weigh them in my hands. Still, given the miracle of what was already happening, I figured I had more than enough, so I didn't dare move.
Sergio seemed to have other plans. Keeping his eyes firmly shut, he shifted his body closer, pressing his back flat against my thighs. I adjusted my position so he could rest against my chest. Now, while my fingers kept playing with his nipples, my arms were brushing against his shoulders, and my raging erection was trapped flush against his lower back.
His strokes hit a wicked, frantic pace, and I sped up my hands to match him. Then, Sergio started tilting his face up, as if he were searching for my lips. He parted his mouth, his tongue darting out just a fraction.
Fuck it, I told myself, and I kissed him.
He opened his lips wider, inviting me in, and I devoured his mouth with years of starved, pent-up desperation. Our tongues tangled together, and that was all it took for Sergio to come with a violent intensity I had rarely seen in another man. Thick ropes of cum shot out, splattering across his chest in heavy waves that felt like they were never going to end.
One of those heavy ropes splattered across my fingers. Sergio had broken the kiss, surrendering completely to the overwhelming force of his climax. His eyes were still squeezed shut, so I seized the moment, bringing my slick fingers to my lips to finally taste him.
We stayed frozen like that for a few minutes, the only sound his ragged breathing slowly evening out, while my own cock kept hammering relentlessly against his spine. Suddenly, he stood up and casually asked if I wanted a Coke.
I told him I needed a paper towel first.
He opened the fridge, grabbed a can, and poured the soda into a glass. But he didn't hand me a towel, even though there were two or three rolls sitting right there on the kitchen counter. I still had streaks of his cum drying on my arms, but he had clearly made the executive decision to completely ignore what had just happened.
"I'm gonna take a shower. It's fucking boiling in here."
And just like that, he vanished into the bathroom.
I ended up washing his load off my skin at the kitchen sink.
Ten minutes later, he had practically shoved me out the front door.
And, as you can probably guess, it didn't end there.
