College Connection: First Semester
Next part of College Connection! Cory and Zach's first semester is in full string. Cory finally finds the courage to tell Zach how he fells about him. Other than some nudity, nothing too over the top in this one sexually. We're getting there, I promise! Next part for sure! Hope you enjoy it!
Before we knew it, Monday was upon us. Our first day of classes. Zach’s first class was a bit later than mine, so he had the luxury of sleeping in a little later than I did. I did my best to be quiet as I got ready, but despite my efforts, he woke up anyway.
“Off to class?” he asked sleepily, rolling over to grin at me.
“Yea, I’m jealous you get to sleep in you lucky bum!” I said with a quiet chuckle.
“Ah well, good luck out there! I know you’ll do great!” Zach encouraged me, then with a wide yawn rolled back over to try to catch some more sleep. I grinned at him as I set off, closing the door quietly behind me. I had a couple classes in the morning, and another one in the afternoon for today. Zach’s schedule today was the opposite of mine, only one in the morning and two in the afternoon. I would also have three other classes the next day, I was taking six over all this semester. We met up later for lunch.
“How’s it going so far?” Zach asked as we sat down at a table with our food.
“So far so good I guess!” I told him. “I hope you got enough beauty sleep this morning!” I said playfully.
“Ha, very funny wise guy!” Zach said with a laugh.
“At least my first class tomorrow is a little later so I can get some” I said.
”You definitely need all the beauty sleep you can get!” Zach teased jokingly.
“Hey now, we can’t all be blessed with good looks like you!” I said with a chuckle.
“C’mon, I’m not that good looking!” Zach said with a nervous laugh, I could have sworn I saw a hint of a blush beneath the black and white fur on his face.
“Sorry, didn’t mean to embarrass you, I was just joking around” I said in apology, seeing that Zach looked a little uncomfortable by my compliment.
“Oh, so I’m ugly then?” Zach said with a sly grin.
“Oh, shut up!” I said with a laugh. We switched subjects to talk about what we had in store for the afternoon. After finishing our lunches, we headed in our separate directions.
I was the first one back to our room later that afternoon, and got started on my assignments. I was deep into my reading when I heard the sound of Zach’s key rattling in the door. I looked up as Zach came in, looking wiped out.
“Gah, what a day! he said, sticking his long tongue out and rolling his eyes.
“That good huh?” I said with a laugh. Zach dropped his backpack on his desk, then flopped face down onto his bed and sighed dramatically, his bed creaked loudly under his weight.
“Gonna make it buddy?” I asked half jokingly, half legitimately concerned. Zack turned his head to look at me and grinned mischievously.
“Yea I’m good, just wasn’t expecting so much homework! Zach exclaimed.
“Welcome to the big leagues!” I said with a chuckle. “Sooner you get it started, the sooner it’s done! I encouraged him.
“Yea, you’re right” Zach agreed, rolling over and sitting up to lean over and grab his backpack off of his desk. With a sigh, he pulled out his textbook and notes, and got to work. I chuckled quietly and returned to my own studies. After about an hour, we took a break and headed out for dinner. Returning to our room, we resumed our studies. After a while, Zach snapped his book closed.
“Finished!” Zach exclaimed with relief, and flopped back in his bed.
“I knew you could do it!” I said proudly, and grinned at him.
“I think I’ll reward myself with some World Quester, you want to play?” Zach asked, as he got up from his bed and went to sit at his desk.
“I wish I could, still have some more reading to do. Kill some monsters for me!” I said.
“You got it!” Zach said cheerfully. Eventually it was time to call it a night, and we turned in.
After a hectic couple of weeks of getting into the swing of things, Zach and I settled into our grooves. We spent a great deal of time studying, eating, and just in general hanging out together. By the end of our second month of college, we were inseparable friends. I found myself crushing hard on the handsome zebra, but was afraid to try to make any moves out of fear of making things awkward between us. Zach was pretty much the only person I hung out with, but he had also made other friends from some of his classes that he would hang out with sometimes. Occasionally I came along to hang out with Zach and some of his new friends, but I always felt like the odd one out, and usually just preferred to stay back at our room to study or play WQ. It was a Saturday evening, I had just turned in for the night. Zach had gone out to a frat party with some of his other friends earlier. I was woken up by the sound of the door opening as Zach returned. I heard him begin undressing for bed.
“Have a good time tonight?” I asked sleepily.
“Oh shit, I’m sorry if I woke you up!” Zach said, his speech sounded slurred.
“All good man, you have a couple drinks tonight?” I said with a chuckle.
“Dude! I’ve never really drank alcohol before, but I tried some rum and cokes tonight? Awesome!” Zach exclaimed excitedly.
“Oh? How many did you have?” I asked.
“I gotta be honest, I got no idea!” Zach said, then laughed giddily.
“You might be feeling that in the morning!” I said with a chuckle.
“Maybe! Aww man, I wish you had come, it was so fun! I felt bad knowing you were back here all by yourself!” Zach said, sounding remorseful.
”Ah, it’s ok man! You know I’m not much of a partier, but it’s nice you were thinking about me” I said. I was honestly flattered to think Zach was thinking of me here alone. I closed my eyes again as Zach finished undressing. Then opened them in shocked surprise when I felt Zach climbing into my bed with me. My bed creaked ominously under our combined weight.
“This might sound cheesy, but I actually think about you a lot! I know we’ve only known each other a couple of months, but you’re like seriously my best friend I’ve ever had!” Zach exclaimed as he laid down next to me. He stroked his hand across my chest, and nuzzled my shoulder with his muzzle. He exhaled noisily, and I caught the overpowering odor of alcohol on his breath. He slid his arm around my shoulders, and pulled me closer, gently nibbling on the side of my neck with his soft velvety lips, his whiskers tickling my skin. My heart began to race at the feeling of those large lips against my neck.
“Um, Zach…” I started to say, but fell silent and shivered when I felt his wide soft tongue firmly lick the side of my neck.
“You’re just…you’re just awesome man! I’m just so happy we met, and I love being roommates with you!” Zach said drunkenly, then laid his head down next to mine. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me tightly against his broad chest as he gave my neck another affectionate lick. I was at a complete loss at what to do. I had to admit, I had dreamed of being intimate with Zach, but this just didn’t feel right. As I was frantically trying to figure out what I should do, I realized that Zach had fallen asleep, or possibly passed out. Most likely a combination of the two. I sighed with relief. I decided maybe I should go sleep in Zach’s bed, but when I tried to disentangle myself from his arms, he simply grumbled in his sleep and held on tighter. It seemed I wasn’t going anywhere, so I decided to get comfortable, and admittedly, being held against him in his strong arms felt quite nice. With a deep sigh, I shut my eyes, and gradually drifted back to sleep.
I woke up when I felt Zach begin moving. I heard him yawn loudly, then he gasped in surprise when he realized where he was.
“Oh…oh shit!” I heard him whisper in panic. His arms were still around me, and clearly he had no idea what to do.
“Morning Zach” I said, and felt him stiffen at the sound of my voice.
“Cory, oh man, I’m so sorry! I…I didn’t do anything inappropriate did I? Zach asked nervously.
“Relax Zach, it’s all good. You just had a couple too many last night, nothing happened. You apparently just really wanted somebody to snuggle with” I said with a laugh. I felt his warm breath wash across my neck as he sighed deeply with relief.
“I’m so so sorry, I’ve never really drank alcohol before! After this I don’t think I will again!” Zach said apologetically, as he carefully disentangled himself from me, then hastily got out of my bed. I rolled over to see he had sat down on his bed, and lowered his head and covered his eyes with his hands.
”You feeling ok? I’m betting you have one hell of a headache!” I said and laughed.
“That’s an understatement! I’m so embarrassed…” he said, and sobbed slightly.
“Hey, I’m not mad at you if that’s what you’re worried about! You just had a little too much to drink, and got in the wrong bed. If it’s any consolation, it was a chilly night and you made a great space heater!” I said playfully.
“You’re really not mad?” Zach asked in disbelief, raising his head and wiping his eyes. It looked like he might have cried a little when he had been covering his face.
“I promise you, I’m not!” I said reassuringly, as I sat up and swung my legs out of bed to face him. I reached over and patted his knee.
“I still feel bad though! I’ll be more careful in the future!” Zach promised.
“I assure you, it’s fine! Now I’m going to hit the bathroom and take a shower. I smell like a drunk zebra!” I said playfully as I got up, and clapped him on the shoulder.
“You’re such an ass!” Zach said, but laughed and grinned, looking as though he was starting to feel better seeing that I wasn’t angry with him. I grabbed my towel, a fresh change of clothes, and my showering supplies, then headed to the bathrooms.
The showers were at the back of the bathroom area. Cubbies along the wall by the shower entrance provided somewhere to store your clothing while you showered. The showering area consisted of a row of shower heads along the wall with some divider walls between them for a hint of privacy. It reminded me of showering after gym class back in high school. I stripped down and headed in. I was alone in the showers, which was a rare treat. I always felt a little self conscious when showering with others. It seemed like my solitude was short lived though as I heard someone else coming. I glanced back to the entrance to the showers, and gasped to see it was Zach coming in. Despite having been roommates for two months, I still hadn’t actually seen him naked. With our different class starting times, one of us was always up earlier than the other. I usually slept in later than Zach on the weekends, so he had usually already showered by the time I got up. I couldn’t help myself and practically stared at his naked body, I found his black and white stripes to be incredibly sexy. My eyes were immediately drawn to his hefty black sheath and balls. I got a hold of myself and quickly looked away before Zach could see me staring as he came over to join me, taking the shower next to mine. I was thankful for the privacy wall, I wasn’t sure if I could have helped myself from continuing to sneak peeks at Zach’s crotch if it weren’t there.
“Hope you don’t mind me joining you” Zach said, as I heard him turn on his shower.
“Nah, it’s cool man. We got the place to ourselves!” I said with a nervous laugh, that echoed in the deserted shower..
“I just wanted to apologize again for last night. I’m still so embarrassed!” Zach said.
“Seriously, I’m not upset, I swear! I thought it was kinda funny actually!” I reassured him.
“I’m so relieved you aren’t mad at me! Did I…say anything last night?” Zach asked curiously, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.
“Well, if you must know, you said you felt bad that I was back at the dorm all by myself, and that you were thinking of me, which I thought was kinda sweet. You also said how happy you were to have me as a roommate and you considered me to be your best friend. Truth be told, I feel the same way about you. You’re a great friend, and I definitely couldn’t have picked a better roommate if I tried!” I said with a chuckle.
“I really said all that? It’s kinda scary having almost no recollection of anything I did last night! But it was true, I do think of you as my best friend” Zach said shyly. I was glad the privacy wall was between us, or he would have seen me blushing with pleasure at what he had said. I couldn’t help but wonder if he was blushing a little too.
“Thanks Zach, I really appreciate it” I said sincerely. I finished showering, and went to grab my towel. I snuck a quick glance at Zach as he ran shampoo through his spiky mane. His eyes were closed because of the suds running down his face so I took the opportunity for one last sneak peek between his legs. I couldn’t help but shiver remembering the morning I had seen him fast asleep, a massive morning wood erection stretching his underpants.
“Do you want to go grab breakfast together?” Zach asked, as he rinsed the shampoo off his head and face. He turned to look at me, and I noticed his eyes quickly darted to my crotch, then back to my face.
“Sure, that would be great! You don’t feel sick after last night?” I asked.
“Nah, just a bit of a headache, but that’s about it. Beginners luck I guess!” he said with a laugh.
“All right then, see you back in the room” I said, and went to change and go back and wait for him. I knew it would take him a while to dry off at the fur dryer. About fifteen minutes later, he finally returned.
“I have to admit, sometimes I’m jealous of you not having any fur to dry! That has to be so convenient!” Zach said with a laugh as he came in.
“Ha! Are you kidding me? Your fur is awesome! I don’t want to embarrass you or anything, but I absolutely love your stripes. I could look at them all day!” I exclaimed. I thought I saw a hint of a blush on his face and ears, but he also looked flattered at the same time.
“Stop, you’re embarrassing me!” Zach said shyly, but also sounding pleased at the same time as he hung up his towel to dry.
“Sorry, didn’t mean to!” I apologized. “Anyway, let’s go grab breakfast!” I grabbed my sweatshirt and pulled it on as we headed out.
The following week, I noticed Zach spent much more time hanging out with me. Usually he would go meet up with some of his other friends to hang out and study during the week a few times, but now it seemed like he preferred to exclusively spend all of his time with me. I certainly wasn’t complaining, I loved spending time with him. One evening a couple of weeks later as I was laying in my bed studying, when Zach practically burst into the room, nearly causing me to jump out of my skin. He was carrying what appeared to be a giant flat suitcase. He looked almost beside himself with excitement.
“Cory! Check out what I snagged for you!” Zach said almost breathlessly. I raised my eyebrow questioningly at him and looked at the large padded case he was holding up, I wasn’t quite sure what it was.
“I give up Zach, what is it?” I said with a laugh.
“Dude, it’s a portable massage table! I saw some upper classman hauling it to the dumpster and asked them what it was! Apparently he’s dropping out, and was just going to toss it!” Zach said excitedly.
“What?! No way!” I said eagerly as I got up to come see. The two of us looked it over, figuring out how to unfold it. Undoing the latches, we flipped out the legs and the face rest, and found it was quite quick and easy to set up.
“Damn, this is cool! Thank you so much for snagging it for me! I’ll have to figure out something nice to do for you!” I said appreciatively.
“*Ahem*, how about a massage?” Zach said coyly and grinned at me.
“Well, I mean I haven’t even taken any classes yet, but I did do a couple workshops back home. I guess I could, but don’t hold me responsible if I accidentally break you and you end up paralyzed!” I said with a laugh.
“I’ll take my chances! Sooo, how about right now? I was just at the gym, you can help me loosen up!” Zach asked, looking at me eagerly.
“Well, I dunno, I still have some studying to do…” I teased.
“Oh c’mon! Pleeeeease!” Zach practically begged, and I couldn’t help but laugh and give in.
“Ok, fine! You’re such a dork!” I said playfully.
“Yesss!” Zach said excitedly, and quickly began stripping down. He even started to pull his underwear down, but I stopped him before he got them down far.
“Whoa! Leave something to the imagination!” I said and laughed.
“Oops, sorry! Guess I got a little carried away!” Zach said sheepishly as he pulled his underwear back up.
“Allright, lay down on your front I guess. Hopefully this table can handle your huge stripey ass!” I joked.
“Here goes nothing!” Zach said, as he carefully lowered himself onto the table. Other than a little creaking, it seemed to handle his large frame just fine.
“Wow, this thing is pretty sturdy! I half expected it would buckle under your weight!” I said, impressed with how well the table was able to handle Zach’s weight. I was still half expecting his bed was going to collapse one of these nights when he climbed into it from the way it creaked and groaned. Tentatively, I placed my hands on the warm fur of his muscular back. His skin twitched slightly when I first touched him, then settled down. Slowly and gently, I began working my fingers through the various muscles on his back.
“Oh my god, this feels so good!” Zach practically moaned. “I can’t believe you haven’t even taken any classes for this yet, and you’re already this good at it!”
“Ha, well, like I said, I took a couple of workshops back home, but it was pretty basic stuff” I told him as I began working my fingers gently down his spine.
“Damn, if this is just basic stuff I can’t wait to see what the advanced stuff feels like!” Zach said, sighing with pleasure at the feeling of my hands working down his body.
“Well, this is just a freebie, the advanced stuff is going to cost you” I teased.
“I see how it is, get me hooked then bleed my dry! Have you figured out what you're going to charge for happy endings yet?” Zach said jokingly.
“I figure I’ll charge by the inch, so probably too expensive for you to afford!” I said playfully, but immediately wanted to bite my tongue off for making that joke. I couldn’t help but feel I might have crossed a line. Zach simply laughed, his back shaking with laughter.
“What, not even a friends and family discount?” Zach asked with another laugh.
“Oh god, the thought of giving a happy ending to someone related to me is just wrong! Get your mind out of the gutter!” I said and laughed.
“Sorry, that one might have been a bit much!” Zach agreed, laughing even harder.
“Well, I think that about covers the back, want me to try the front now?” I asked.
“Um…well this is embarrassing, but I’ve kind of got a massive erection going on right now. I blame your massage!” he said with an embarrassed chuckle, his face and ears blushing slightly.
“Ah, don’t be embarrassed, it’s a pretty natural reaction from getting a massage I hear. I guess it’s kinda like belching after a meal is a compliment to the chef?” I said and laughed.
“Well, I guess if you don’t mind then” Zach said, and rolled over on the table. I couldn’t help myself, and my mouth dropped open as I gasped quietly. Zach’s cock had actually slipped free above the waistband of his underwear, and laid across his stomach. I was looking at over 12 inches of rock hard zebra cock. I looked at Zach’s face, and he simply grinned sheepishly and shrugged.
“Geez, your poor underpants! I’m surprised they can even contain this thing! Well, I mean obviously they actually can’t!” I said with a nervous laugh and motioned to his groin. “I thought most anthros didn’t even wear underpants? I mean, isn’t that what your sheath is for pretty much?” I asked.
“Well, I usually don’t, but some anthros do, and I didn’t want to cause any awkwardness walking around naked if it made my new roommate uncomfortable when I came to school” Zach explained.
“So…you’ve basically been wearing these all this time for my benefit? It’s really nice of you to be concerned about my feelings like that, but…you don’t have to wear those on my account. I’m perfectly fine with you being naked in here if it makes you more comfortable!” I assured him.
“You really don’t mind? Cause if I’m being brutally honest, I really hate these damn things!” Zach said with a laugh.
“It’s fine, I promise. Let me apologize in advance though if you catch me sneaking any peeks at first, cause I’ve never seen a dick that large before! I assume the novelty will wear off pretty quickly though” I told him, somewhat embarrassed. Zach grinned at me, and leaned forward to slide his underwear off, then tossed them over his shoulder onto his bed. I couldn’t help myself, and simply looked at his massive cock and balls, since he had practically invited me to by pulling off his underwear.
“Like what you see?” Zach asked with a sly grin. I gave my head a shake to regain my focus, then laughed nervously as I ran my hand through my hair.
“I..I actually do” I confessed, feeling my cheeks blush.
“You can touch it if you want” Zach invited, causing my breath to catch in my throat, and my eyes to widen.
“Wait what? Are you…are you sure?” I asked in disbelief. I couldn’t believe this was happening. Tentatively, I rested my hand on his massive cock, the warm soft flesh twitched at my touch. I started breathing heavily, practically hyperventilating. I felt my blood pounding in my head, then the last thing I remembered was Zach saying my name in alarm before everything went black.
The next thing I knew, Zach was crouched over me and gently patting the side of my face. I had no idea how long I had been on the floor, but Zach looked extremely relieved when I opened my eyes.
“Oh thank god! You scared the crap out of me!” Zach said relief.
“Did…did I just pass out?” I asked with slight confusion.
“Sure looked that way! Here, let me help you to your bed” Zach offered, and slipped his arms under me, and lifted me up like I weighed nothing. Carefully he placed me down in my bed, and crouched by my side, looking at me with concern. He took my hand with his, then rested his other on the top of my head and began stroking my hair.
“Oh, that feels so nice. Geez, I get to touch my first dick and I pass out! How embarrassing!” I sighed and closed my eyes. Zach snorted in amusement at my comment, and continued gently rubbing my head.
“Does your head hurt? It didn’t look like you hit it very hard when you went down. Should I go get the nurse?” Zach asked.
“Nah, my head feels fine, I think I’m ok. Sorry to give you a scare like that” I said sheepishly.
“I’m glad you’re ok! The massage was great! Until you passed out after touching my dick that is, I never knew it could have that effect on people…” Zach mused with a grin. I decided it was now or never to let him know my true feelings..
“So, I hope this doesn’t make things awkward between us, but I have a confession I need to make. I’ve kinda got a huge crush on you. I have no idea if you’re even interested in guys or not, since you mentioned you had a girlfriend in high school. After what just happened though, I felt like I had to tell you. I totally understand if you aren’t interested, and I promise I’ll let it drop if you aren’t. I…I just wanted you to know how I feel about you” I finished awkwardly. Zach smiled at me, and gave my hand a firm squeeze.
“I’m glad you told me, and it doesn’t make me feel awkward at all. I have to admit I also have very strong affectionate feelings for you as well. I did have a girlfriend in high school, but we never really did anything except kiss a few times. We didn’t date very long, it just didn’t feel like we quite clicked. But spending these last couple months with you has been so great! I’ve never been happier spending time with somebody like I have with you! Personally, I think we should explore these feelings for each other further. But for the moment you need to take it easy, I’m still worried about you after you passed out like that!” Zach said with concern.
“I’m fine, just got a little overwhelmed in the moment. I promise I’ll go get checked out if I start feeling strange, ok?” I offered, and smiled at him.
“You better, or I’ll throw you over my shoulder and take you myself!” Zach said teasingly.
“Do you think you might like to lay down with me for a bit? I actually really liked it that night you climbed into bed with me” I told him shyly. Zach chuckled and nodded. I slid over as he climbed into bed with me, and draped his arm around my shoulders. I nestled myself into the crook of his arm, and laid my head against him. I reached over and began gently stroking his muscular chest. Zach sighed contentedly, and pulled me a little tighter against his side. I glanced down at his crotch, but his cock had retreated back into his sheath. My passing out had probably killed the mood. I sighed deeply and closed my eyes, enjoying having his arm around me, and the feeling of his soft fur against my cheek.
