Chapter 15
“So Ryan, you and Prof Mochrie look pretty damn cozy comin’ in and out of work,” Brad said, shuffling over to where Ryan was nibbling on a pastrami sandwich Colin had bought for him on their way in to work by way of an apology. They normally ate lunch together, but today Colin had a lunch date with some associates from the Discovery Channel. Ryan had only pouted to get the sandwich.
“He’s a pretty cool guy, I think you guys would like him,” Ryan shrugged.
“I wasn’t meaning that kind of cozy, Ry,” Brad grinned at him. Wayne sat down next to Brad and elbowed him in the arm. “Ow!”
“It’s none of your business, weenie,” Wayne scowled.
Ryan watched them, chewing on a tough bit of beef. “What kind of cozy did you mean, Brad?”
Brad scooted out of elbow range of Wayne before turning to Ryan. “Well, I just kinda noticed that you and he have a thing goin’ on now, not that I’m against it, mind you, cuz my brother is gay and his partner’s a pretty cool guy, too,” he kept babbling how Ryan’s new lifestyle was okay and fine and they still loved his brother.
In the meantime, Wayne had his head in his hands as Ryan continued to stare at Brad. “Brad, shut up!” Wayne finally hissed when Brad’s talk turned into the new law passed in California where the gays could get married now. “He’s not gay!”
Brad stopped, blinking. “What?”
“He isn’t gay you asshat!”
“Actually,” Ryan said heavily, rolling up his sandwich. There wasn’t much left, but he wasn’t hungry anymore. “Brad’s right. Colin and I are partners now, have been since we got back from the expedition to Florida.”
Wayne just blinked while Brad grinned proudly in triumph. “What? You guys are… uh…”
“Lovers? Yeah, we are,”
They sat there and digested it, giving Ryan time to steal one of Wayne’s prized fruit drinks before he spoke up. “Ew…” Wayne wrinkled his nose.
Ryan puffed up angrily. “Look, if it’s that nasty-”
“No, well it is but only cuz you’re two pasty white dudes…” Wayne said weakly.
Brad patted his back proudly. “Good man.” He grinned before looking up at Ryan. “See? We don’t care, but how come you didn’t tell us earlier?”
Ryan flushed, a little taken aback that they genuinely didn’t care. “Well… I thought… you guys wouldn’t… you know…”
“Ahhh,” they both nodded sagely, understanding what Ryan hadn’t really said. “So when are we coming over to really meet this new lover of yours?” Brad asked.
“Well I dunno, last time you guys met him you practically told him to fuck off.” Ryan scowled down at Wayne, who had the grace to blush.
“Well… he’s a scientist… they don’t really treat us like equals, but if he’s dating you he’s either as cool as you say he is or he’s just got really, really low standards and meeting us will probably blow his mind,”
“Yeah, he’d probably drop you in a hot second once he saw these two prime pieces of real estate,” Brad nodded.
Ryan rolled his eyes. “I’ll talk to Col and let you guys know if you’re good enough to grace our doormat.”
Down the hallway, past the gymnasium and around several corners, an administrative assistant was placing all of the paychecks out to be put in a box when she noticed something odd. “May?” she called, her secretary coming over. “There seems to be a discrepancy here, these two men are sharing the same address,”
“Yes ma’am, they moved in with one another, Mr. Stiles put in his change of address a little time ago.” May nodded.
“Moved in with Professor Mochrie? Was he in need of a roommate?”
“Not that I know of ma’am. I live in the same area and they are one bedroom apartments.”
Administrative assistant Adeline flushed hotly at the images rushing though her mind and she crossed herself. “Two men living and sleeping in the same bed?” she whispered and shuddered with disgust. “We need to show this to the Director of Personnel.”
“Why?” May asked, confused.
“Because it is indecent!” Assistant Adeline hissed quietly, looking about like people were listening in and would say that she was the indecent one.
Without another word on the subject, Administrative Assistant Adeline bustled off on her personal mission to better the University while little secretary May just frowned at her as she hurried off. “She better not be discriminating against those poor men,” she muttered before heading to the front desk to help students and parents with questions.
Unaware of the scrutiny their new living arrangements had attracted in personnel, Colin had enjoyed his lunch with the Discovery Channel associates. He once again had to reject their offer of a job, but they took it with good grace. They had been offering him positions at the Discovery Channel for years and there had been times he’d been sorely tempted but he certainly wouldn’t consider it now that he’d found Ryan.
He loved the fact that they were able to catch glimpses of each other throughout the day, sometimes even making time to go for a stroll during lunch break and that by the end of the day, they could go home together. It was just perfect. Part of him was waiting for the proverbial axe to drop. It was just too good… but then he asked himself what could go wrong and he came up with nothing. He was in love and it seemed Ryan felt the same. He didn’t think that would change in a hurry and he reckoned that that was the most important part. He would live in a hut on the beach if it meant he could be with Ryan. He had never really been terribly bothered about money or material possessions and neither was Ryan.
After he had finished his lunch and said his goodbyes, he strolled back to his lab. He was already thinking about dinner. Not that he was hungry but he wanted to treat Ryan… He had felt bad about having to miss lunch with him and he wanted to make it up to the tall guy. He was so engrossed in thinking what he would cook for the him, he hadn’t noticed the object of his affections coming towards him, crossing the courtyard at a pace.
“Hey, wait up!
His head shot up when he heard Ryan’s voice, and as soon as he saw him, his face broke out in a smile. He couldn’t help it. Maybe it was soppy, but Ryan did that to him.
“Hey you, how’s your day going?”
Ryan shrugged his shoulders “Meh… same old, same old,” He decided to leave the fact that he had outed himself to his friends for later. “How was your lunch? Did they offer you a job again?”
Colin nodded.
“You gonna take it?”
Colin looked over at him, a puzzled expression on his face. “Why would I want to take it? It would mean leaving Uck and I don’t want to.”
“Really?” Ryan grinned. He didn’t think Colin would have accepted but he could have understood if he had. From what he had been told, the money was a lot better and the work would be more diverse. “How so? You got any particular attachments to this place?” He raised an eyebrow, daring Colin.
Colin, never one to back down from a challenge, decided to play along. He adopted a bored expression and shrugged his shoulders. “Hmmm…not really but, you know, the food is good… and I have a nice clean lab.”
“Do you now?”
“Uh huh,”
“Doesn’t seem enough to stick around for you know…”
“Hm… well… there’s this guy…”
“A guy?”
“Yeah….you may have seen him around… Tall, goofy looking…big feet,”
“Well, you know what they say about big feet...” Ryan waggled his eyebrows at him and Colin had to bite the inside of his cheek not to burst out laughing.
“Don’t think it’s true in his case…” Colin replied, scratching his chin and pretending he was thinking about it.
“Oi!” Ryan punched his arm, “I think you need to check your facts again…”
“Really?”
“Yeah…really…” During their conversation, they had walked back into the building and Colin was aware they had nearly reached his lab. Pity, he could have teased Ryan for the rest of the day like this...
“What did you have in mind?” Colin arched an eyebrow.
“Well…” Ryan bent over, his mouth close to Colin’s ear. “How about you do some measuring tonight… I’m sure you’ll come to a satisfying conclusion...” Colin couldn’t quell the shiver that started at the bottom of his spine and worked his way up. And when he felt Ryan’s tongue dart out and lick the rim of his ear, he nearly gasped out loud. Ryan smirked, saluted and sauntered off, licking his finger and drawing a 1 in the air….As if the points mattered…he was looking forward to the measuring though…
That evening, over a carefully prepared candlelit dinner, Ryan told him of the conversation he’d had with his friends.
“I came out to Brad and Wayne today…”
Colin nearly choked on his wine. “You what?”
“Came out. Told them I was gay and that we were together, had been since Florida…”
“Why!?” Colin knew he sounded slightly panicked but he couldn’t help himself. As long as it had just been them, it had been good…What if his friends would try and dissuade Ryan from seeing him? Don’t be ridiculous…Ryan wouldn’t listen to that…Would he?
“Brad has seen us coming in and out of work together…called us cozy,” Ryan grinned at the memory. “He assumed we were together. Apparently his brother is gay… I just didn’t want to lie to them. Are you mad?”
“No… no, I’m not mad but…” Colin hesitated and Ryan interrupted.
“They want to meet you…”
“They have already met me and they didn’t like me,” Colin said wryly. “In fact, that’s putting it mildly…” He vividly remembered that night and how much it had hurt him that Ryan had avoided him afterwards.
“Hey…” Ryan grabbed his hand and squeezed it gently, “They didn’t know you… they’ve agreed they were assholes, but…you know, most of the professors treat the janitors like crap. They were just looking out for me.”
“Hmpf…” Colin was far from convinced.
“Come on Col… trust me on this one…”
“But what if they still hate me?”
“How could they possibly hate you?”
“I don’t know about this Ry… I know they’re your friends but…”
“I was thinking… maybe you could cook for them…” whilst he was talking, Ryan had dropped to his knees in front of Colin’s chair and was now lightly stroking his arms. “You know, maybe do that fish pie, or,” he stopped to drop a kiss on the inside of Colin’s wrist, “maybe that chicken thing…with the mushrooms?” another kiss, this time on the other wrist.
“What are you doing?”
“I was thinking of ways I could convince you to meet my friends…” Ryan rolled his eyes to look up at Colin, who was smiling down at him, an eyebrow raised.
Colin knew this was a prize moment and seized it like a dragon would steal gold. “Well… it will take a lot of convincing, Ry…”
Ryan laughed quietly to himself. “Okay,” he studiously ignored Colin as he stripped the man from the waist down, even the shoes and socks went until Colin was shivering a little from sitting on his bare cookies in the cold kitchen. He was also a little nervous, darting glances at the windows in the kitchen where the communal fire escape resided.
“Ry, someone might see!” he hissed urgently, but Ryan just shrugged indifferently, tracing the goosebumps on the inside of Colin’s thigh’s where his sex lay, half erect but still just as beautiful looking. “Come on, let’s take it into the bed-” Colin made to rise, but Ryan’s hands on top of his thighs sat him back down before they slid slowly up. “Ry…” Colin’s half-plea came out shaky and he wasn’t quite sure what he was pleading for. Ryan’s thumbs pressed firmly against the muscle and soft, textured skin at the seam of the front of his hips, just barely gracing the hair around his sex.
Colin gripped the seat and the back of the chair tightly as Ryan’s breath caressed his skin like steam. Over him, the inside of a thigh, his balls. He was fully erect and leaking when Ryan took one of his balls into his mouth, sucking, teasing the skin with that magical tongue of his. The thumbs still hadn’t stopped stroking him everywhere but his cock. Right now one was tracing the skin behind his balls and the other was tracing the soft skin at the seam of his ass.
“Ry… Ry… oh jesus…” he was panting heavily already, the teasing making him hurt he was so hard. He unclenched a hand from the back of the chair and laced it through Ryan’s hair, clenching at the laving of Ryan’s tongue on that one organ. The stimulation and attention he was receiving was incredible! Just when he thought he’d explode into flames and die happily, Ryan let the soft orb slip from his mouth and turned to the other one.
Now Colin would explode from the teasing.
His breath was harsh and his forehead beaded with sweat, his cock aching for release as the gentle touches of the fingers and the tender sucking on that one spot sent him nearly up the wall for relief. He jumped and cursed heartily when a gentle fingertip slid up the bottom of his shaft and stroked underneath the head. Then he started squirming, fighting not to move too much as Ryan continued to focus his attention on one spot with his mouth and another spot with the pad of his index finger. “Please!” Colin whimpered. “No more teasing!” he was begging and he knew it, but damnation this was such sweet torture.
Ryan let the other half of Colin’s balls slip from his red, wet lips and sucked on his fingers while Colin let his head fall back, his chest heaving, face shining with sweat. Without pretense, Ryan took Colin’s red, aching cock in his mouth and went straight down to the hilt, tearing a startled cry from Colin. Ryan swallowed hard and long, plunging his saliva-slick fingers into Colin’s entrance to flutter two of them against his prostate.
Colin exploded down Ryan’s throat instantly, a hand clenched in Ryan’s hair, the other gripping the edge of his seat so hard his knuckles were white, ready to pop from their moorings.
After a few seconds he started breathing again, releasing Ryan’s hair, squirming when Ryan licked him delicately clean and slid his boxerbriefs back up. Colin blinked down at the devilishly grinned Ryan, who was stroking his cheek along Colin’s inner thigh like a cat full of cream.
“I’m still not convinced,” Colin croaked, mouth full of cotton. Ryan frowned, about to say something when Colin’s foot stroked Ryan’s very obvious erection. “I think we need to go into the bedroom… and convince me some more…”
Ryan grinned again. “Okay…”
Forty five minutes later and after having come another 2 times, Colin turned to his seemingly superhuman lover and panted that he’d cook whatever Ryan thought his friends would like but that he needed at least a day to recover from Ryan’s “convincing”. Ryan didn’t say anything, just smiled smugly.
