College Bound: Chapter 4 - Let Things Happen
#4 of College Bound
Work got a little hectic, so this one took a tad bit longer. My god, I'm so tired right now... But I wanted to give you more stuff to read! So here it is.
Warning: This story may contain romantic and/or sexual interaction between two males. If this is something that bothers you, feel free to leave the page at this time.
The bedroom was slightly chilly from the AC, and the early morning sun peeked its way in through the window drapes. Nate lay there on his right side with a small amount of light hitting his cheek, letting out a tiny snore with every other breath. He slowly opened his eyes and reached for his phone. It was 7:51 AM and the dorm was quiet. He sat upright and stretched with a yawn, then rubbed his tired eyes. He then heard a knocking at his door. "Come in," he yawned again without even thinking.
Tyler opened the door and entered. "Morning. Breakfast is ready." The wolf was still only wearing his red gym shorts. "Oh, and the guys will be heading out in about a half hour or so after we all shower and get ready. Make sure you let Cory know if he wants to come."
"Ah, okay," Nate responded, still feeling groggy from just waking up. He took a deep sniff and smelled eggs and bacon. He swung his legs over the side of his bed and slowly stood up. "Did you cook?"
Tyler shook his head. "Nah. Gina and Stephanie are here and made food."
Nate blinked. "How'd they get in?"
The wolf laughed. "You know, I asked myself that same question. I guess Andy let them in cuz he's up too. They're gonna go with us."
Gina popped her cat head through the doorway almost as if on cue. "Hi! Glad to see you're awake, Nate. Feeling better?"
"I feel fine, thanks. Still a little tired, but a shower would help," he replied while scratching his head.
"Didn't you take one last night?" the cat asked.
"Yeah, but I feel gross the whole day if I don't shower in the morning. And my fur looks awful right now," Nate said as he scratched his side. He had a case of bed head going on.
Gina snickered. "You sure you're not gay?"
Nate blushed, just realizing what he said. "I'm straight, shut up."
"Oh my gosh, I'm just kidding. Lighten up," she giggled.
Nate just sighed and shook his head as he grabbed a set of clothes and darted past the two furs, headed straight for the shower.
Tyler waited until he was out of earshot before speaking again. "Gina, that's obviously a sensitive subject to him. Maybe you shouldn't joke as much?"
"I'm not doing it on purpose! I'd never hurt someone's feelings intentionally. But you're right, I'll stop. Still though, he makes me wonder. He gets so defensive about it and he always seems so nervous when you're around."
"We've only known him for a day..."
"Oh don't act like you don't see it!"
Tyler just rolled his eyes. But the cougar wasn't wrong. There is a subtle difference between when someone was crushing on another someone and when someone is just shy - and Nate easily fell into the first category.
"Okay, I do notice. But it's something he needs to resolve. I don't want to make it harder for him," the timber wolf said as he scratched his belly fur.
"Tyler, you have to do something to help him. If he really is crushing on you, you need to tell him that you're not interested before he gets completely infatuated with you," Gina stated with her hands on her hips and a serious look on her face.
Tyler rubbed the back of his head and looked away from the cat. He spoke quietly. "But I don't... want to..."
"You what?"
Tyler sighed. "Can we not talk about this right now? There's a lot to do today and I've already got a lot to worry about." The wolf walked into his own room and closed the door, leaving Gina alone in the hallway.
Her mouth was agate as she stared at the door of Tyler's room. "Oh... my... god..."
-
Nate threw off his pajama bottoms and underwear after he turned on the faucet and let the shower water start to heat up. He sighed as the previous conversation came into his mind again.
"Stupid Gina... That girl makes me mad, calling me gay. What nonsense. I don't care if she's just kidding, it's rude to me. She can think what she wants, but she's wrong. I'm straight and that's all there is to it."
He stepped into the shower, letting the warm water wash over his body. He let out a sigh if relief, deciding to just stand there in that moment of bliss for a little while. He then reached up for the body wash and lathered up some in his paw before starting to clean his whole body. He was glad that the dorms had a good amount of water pressure and a nice shower head. It made a big difference to the overall enjoyment of a shower. The little fox was enjoying himself a little too much as his hands reached down to clean his foxhood and then noticed his tip poking out of his sheath. It was then that he remembered how long it had been since he pleasured himself; at least two weeks by this point with all the college worries flowing into his mind constantly. Nate was horny - very horny. And every passing second, his length grew.
"Hmm... Even though Gina makes me angry, she's still pretty hot. Nice face, good looking body, nice tits too. Yeah, I could definitely nail that."
He felt his cock twitch as he reached down and started to fondle himself a little. He closed his eyes and let his mind wander.
"I can't say I've been interested in a zebra before, but Stephanie looks pretty good too. Cute in her own way. But wow, she has a nice ass. I only saw it for a second, but she was workin' those skinny jeans real good. And Lauren... She's an arctic fox just like me and she looks fantastic. Cute face, good rack, nice body, strong legs, and something about that backwards cap... I don't know why, but I really liked that."
Even with all these images in his mind, for some reason he couldn't get fully hard. His cock was only half-full, if even that, and it was not going any further. Nate was confused. He tried to get the girls I'm his head again, but it just wasn't working. He could remember getting off to girls before, so why couldn't he do it now?
"Maybe I... No! But, I can't say I haven't thought about Cory before... He's such a big and loving bear, so muscular and nice. I get tingles sometimes when he hugs me. I wonder what he looks like... without clothes on... How big he is."
He gently massaged his balls as his thoughts about his best friend continued. His cock was getting harder. It only took a few seconds before he reached his full eight and a half inches of rock hard fox meat. His breathing started to grow a little heavier and he started a slow pace of stroking.
"I kinda want Cory to lay on top of me and grind our naked bodies together. I bet he's so warm... He's probably got a big ten inch cock. And he'd look at me and kiss me gently before he picks up my legs and... and..."
Nate groaned as he felt a large pulse in his length, shooting some precum out. His body leaned back against the cold shower wall, sending a pleasurable sensation through his body.
"Oh Tyler... His body, those abs and biceps, his big arms, his face, those beautiful hazel eyes, his warm smile, his sexy voice, his tail, his ass... Oh his glorious ass in those pants he wore yesterday - so round and perfect. I wanted to touch it, feel it, pet it... I want to throw him face down on my bed and pin him down by his shoulders and bite the back of his neck. And then I'd slowly pull down his pants and reveal that round ass - that absolutely perfect ass! Lift up his tail and see that tight pink virgin hole of his and without even any warning just push my cock all the way inside him and-"
"Aaauhh, fuck!" Nate hissed out as he reached orgasm, shooting out ropes of cum all over the shower wall with several moans. His body shook in pleasure for countless seconds in his afterglow, almost falling when he briefly lost feeling in his legs. He opened his eyes and panted, his vision blurry and his heart pounding. The fox had just released weeks of old seed in a batch of lust created over a single day from the newest UCF football star; the fox had just gotten off to the thoughts of none other than Tyler Selend.
"I can't... I can't believe I just did that..." He spoke aloud to himself. "Why the fuck did I just do that?!" He then said much louder, smashing the bottom of his fists against the shower wall. The warm water was now falling right onto his head and his body continued to shake, this time not in pleasure, but instead an unhealthy combination of anger, confusion, and sadness. He started to cry. He hated this. He hated how much his mind was changing. He hated how quickly it was happening. He hated sexy Tyler. He just stood there in the shower and cried.
-
Cory sat in his room and watched TV, wearing nothing but a pair of blue shorts. His brown fur was still ruffled and unkept, showing that he only just woke up and hadn't showered yet. He let out a yawn and scratched at his belly.
Doug came from around the corner and knocked on the doorframe to the bear's room. "Heya. Jeremy and I are heading to the gym for a while. Wanna come with?" The stag was wearing a loose-fitting sleeveless white shirt and a pair of gold shorts.
Cory looked to Doug. "Nah, thanks though. Oh, and give me a warning next time before you come in to stare at my body," he said just before playfully sticking out his tongue at the jock stag.
Doug snickered. "You're the one who left your door open, not me. I did knock. And I'll admit, you're pretty sexy, but I've got my man."
Jeremy poked his head in. "What're we talking about?"
Doug gently tapped his antlers against Jeremy's; a little romantic gesture. "Nothing, babe. Let's go." He hugged the shorter stag by the waist and lifted him up, causing the other to laugh. Doug then walked out of Cory's room and down the hallway.
Cory laughed and shook his head, flipping the channel on the TV. He often wondered how nice it'd be to have a connection like that was someone; female or male. The brown bear never really considered himself to be bisexual, but he always knew that he never had a real preference when it came to sex. In reality, all he really wanted was someone to snuggle with and kiss just because he could. It didn't matter what they had down below so long as they were cute, caring, and fun. He had too much to think about once school started anyway being an Engineering Major. It was known for long and hard projects and many, many late hours up studying and working. It was something he both looked forward to and feared. But then again, that's likely how every college freshman felt.
Cory's ears perked as he heard the text tone from his phone go off. On the screen was a message from Nate.
"The guys want to go to WalMart to get some last minute things. Wanna go with us?"
Cory tapped his big fingers on the screen. "Sure! I need to get some more notebooks anyway. I took another look at my class schedule and I think I'm gonna need a lot more paper lol."
"I'm not sure if I'm even gonna go..."
"Why? Something wrong?"
"Something weird happened in the shower..."
"Did you and Tyler have shower sex?"
"No! Wow, really? This is serious."
Cory snickered. "Alright, fine. I need to shower anyway. We can talk about it on the way to WalMart, okay?"
"Okay..."
Cory then put the phone down and headed to take a quick shower.
-
Nate and Cory were in the bear's car, momentarily silent as they went down the road. Nate let out a gentle sigh, his fingers casually walking along the inside car frame. The fox stated out the window as he spoke. "What do you do when something in your life changes?"
Cory looked at him for a second, but stayed focused on the road. "What do you mean, bud?"
"I mean exactly what I said; when something in your life is just, all of the sudden, different... what do you do?"
"You know me, Nate. I tend to just roll with the punches." He heard his friend sigh again and frowned a little. "I'm sorry if that doesn't help, but I can't really say more if you aren't more specific."
Nate stayed silent for just a moment. He wasn't entirely sure how to be more specific without giving the answer right away. It was strange. Even though he knew he could trust the bear with anything, he was afraid of what was happening. He was genuinely afraid of what Cory would say or think. "Well... Let's say some random event happened. And let's say that this random event was slowly causing you to have to think completely differently. Like everything you thought you knew was possibly turning out to be a lie. What do you do?"
"Research."
"What?..."
"Research it. Find out why it's making you think that way. If it's something that serious, you can't just ignore it. At least, that's what I'd do."
"Hmm... Maybe," Nate said as he took a look at his friend driving. After a few seconds, he had a small smile on his face. Cory really was a good friend. "Oh by the way, Tyler and the rest of them all rode in the same car. I think Tyler has a truck. But they left right before we did, so I don't think we should have a problem finding them. I'll actually go ahead and text him." Nate then pulled out his phone.
"Oh, so you two are texting now, hmm?" Cory looked at him with one brow raised and a sly smirk on his face.
"Oh shut up. He's one of my roommates. Why wouldn't I have his number?"
"Gosh, Nate, I'm kidding," he laughed.
Within a few minutes, Cory quickly pulled into a free parking spot. The WalMart parking lot was absolutely packed. There were cars even parked in the grass between the lot and the main street.
"Wow, there's a lot of cars here," Cory said as he turned the car off and hopped out.
"I guess a lot of furs are doing some last minute shopping," Nate replied as he started to walk to the store entrance doors, cell phone in hand. "Tyler said that he, Andy, Will, Gina, and Stephanie are waiting at the Subway just inside."
Cory grabbed his stomach as it started growling. "Ohhh, why'd you mention food? I just remembered I haven't had breakfast."
Nate snickered. "Gina made breakfast for us this morning. Really good eggs and bacon, and paw-squeezed orange juice."
"That sounds amazing," the bear said with a slight amount of drool falling from his mouth.
"Wow, you really are hungry. You could just get a sub."
"I probably will."
The two of them walked inside and felt the refreshing cold air hit their faces. Nate noticed how there were barely more than twenty shopping carts stockpiled in the area to the right, which meant it was confirmed that there were a ton of people here. Just ahead and to the right was the Subway. Nate and Cory walked through the opening of the Subway and saw the rest of the dorm group gathered up.
"It's about time," Will said with a chuckle.
"We were only five minutes behind you..." Nate replied.
"I'm just kidding. We had to go over the list of things we need anyway. So it gave you time to catch up," the small bear said back.
"I'm gonna grab a bite to eat and I'll catch up with you guys," Cory said as he made his way to the order counter. "Nate, I'll text you in a bit."
Gina popped into the spotlight, per usual. "Alright, guys! We have ten items on this list that are essential. The rest are just bonuses. So I want..." She ripped the list into two parts and then handed one to Nate and Tyler who just so happened to be standing next to each other. "Nate and Tyler to get these items! And the rest of us get the others."
Tyler raised a brow at her and then leaned over to look at the part of the list he was given. "Gallon water jugs? Crock pot and cake pans? Scented candles?!"
Gina just grinned. "You know, for those nights you come home all sweaty and gross from practice or after games. Or when Andy's blazin' it."
Andy rolled his eyes. "It sounds so dumb when you say it..."
Stephanie looked at the other list. "What're we getting? Toilet paper, laundry detergent, ... energy drinks?"
Will laughed. "That one was mine. They're doing a Buy 1 Get 2 sale this week only for Monster. We should just buy the whole stock."
Gina scoffed. "Maybe you can buy the whole stock, but the rest of us have serious purchases in mind. But anyway, let's split up and then meet at the registers in a half hour."
And with that, the six of them walked off. Nate and Tyler headed to the home goods department while the other four went towards the produce area. Andy walked next to Gina and looked at her, puzzled, as he noticed the giant grin on her face."What're you so happy about?"
"Oh nothing, just doing a service for Tyler and Nate."
Will, Andy, and Stephanie all looked at each other with confused looks on their faces.
Gina turned and giggled. "Isn't it obvious? Tyler and Nate totally have a thing for each other!"
The three of them were quiet for a second, but then Andy let out an uproar of laughter. "Are you fucking serious?! Tyler Selend is definitely straight."
"And Nate says that he is too. I think you're just imagining things in your little matchmaking world," said Will as he spun a finger around his ear to mock the cougar's insanity.
Now was the zebra's turn to speak. "Yeah, Gina, are you sure you're not just imagining things? I mean I know you're a Psychology Major and all, but-"
"But nothing! I've seen the looks Nate gives that wolf, and the conversation I had with Tyler earlier was all the proof I needed that he's been thinking the same thing."
"What conversation?" Andy asked.
"Tyler doesn't want to tell Nate that he's not interested so to spare his feelings because Tyler likes Nate just as much as Nate likes Tyler and now he's not sure what to do because he doesn't want Nate to rush into anything serious!"
The other three were silent for a moment once again before Andy spoke. "You're crazy."
Gina turned away, scoffing again. "Whatever. We'll see what happens."
-
Tyler and Nate walked through the WalMart aisles, the fox staying quiet for most of the time as Tyler looked at the shopping list he was given.
"Isn't it weird how all these items are near the same area? Well, unless they changed the layout of the store within the three days since I was last here." Tyler snickered.
"Yeah, that'd be funny..." Nate said shyly, running a paw through his hair.
"You feeling alright?" the wolf asked, looking over at him as they continued walking.
Nate looked back, instantly blushing. "I... I'm not really sure, honestly. So much is changing so quickly; the college life, the dorms, classes starting tomorrow... there's so much going on in my mind and I just don't know what to do about it."
Tyler chuckled quietly and patted the fox's back. "I feel ya on that. You want my advice? Just relax and let things just happen. Of course I'm not saying do nothing and become Life's doormat, but college is supposed to be a fun experience. It's too early to start stressing."
Nate smiled a little. "You're starting to sound a lot like Cory, you know that? Pretty much the whole summer he was telling me to stop stressing so much. And the funny thing is, it's not even classes or work that's bothering me anymore."
"Then what is bothering you?"
"Uh..." That just might have been the wrong thing to say.
Oh man, how's Nate gonna get out of this one? Will he tell Tyler the truth or will he make another excuse? Also, Cory exploring a little of his own sexuality is a nice little addition, hmm? I wonder if anything will happen with that? So many mysteries, so little time!
I'm hoping I'm not making Gina an unlikable character :( She's literally just quirky as all possible. She's not trying to be mean.
Anyway, thanks for reading! More coming soon. :)
