I honestly did not think I was going to be getting back to this question so soon. I’m sorry you had to leave, Disco, but I will tell you this story again some other time if I can contact you.
Basically, a lot of mind blowing and life-changing things happened while I was in San Diego. It started out with my friend Rory and I deciding that we were going to go on a road trip to San Diego. Two of our female friends were already there staying with their grandparents and we figured we would meet up with them while we were there.
I had always guessed that it was a good possibility that Rory was gay. As I have mentioned before, he was never in a relationship in high school despite the fact that girls liked him, he never talked about hot girls with me, he even once said he wasn’t interested in having sex. I put two and two together but I wasn’t going to say anything about it. I kind guessed that maybe he would’ve done the same for me since there were definitely signs.
Anyway, Rory and I were at my friend’s grandparents house on the 18th in the backyard at night. It was a weird yard with all kinds of decorations and ornaments and potted plants. Rory and I were talking for a long time about all kinds of things. Eventually, I decided that I really wanted to know what his orientation was, but I wasn’t going to outright ask him. I asked him what girls he liked (since this is the way my friend Alicia got me to admit that I was gay…I wasn’t trying to trick him, but if he were straight, he probably would’ve answered). Anyway, he didn’t answer it right away. He paused and stuttered and then I said “no one asks me that anymore”. He said “you don’t like girls?” and I said “not in that way”. At that point, there was no going back. My heart was pounding so hard I thought I was going to faint. I was shaking and sweating and he probably was as well. I figured this could be the end of our friendship. Then he admitted the same thing.
I think I just about had a heart attack then. I was elated, shocked, happy, weirded out, and a trillion different emotions at once. At that point, I asked him if he had ever kissed anyone and he said no. I decided to sit closer to him at that point and then I asked “do you think I’m a good friend?” and he said “yes” and asked the same question and I gave the same response. Then it happened. It was literally just a few seconds, no tongues or anything, just on the lips.
Next, my female friends came back out into the garden and startled the shit out of me. For the next few days, Rory and I shared everything and I mean everything. We haven’t done anything since that, but we discussed a relationship and everything. We’re not going the same college or anything, so that makes it difficult. Still, we both admitted that we would be willing to be boyfriend and boyfriend. I don’t know what’s going to happen, but don’t worry, I’m expecting for nothing further to happen and I won’t be surprised if that was all of it. Sorry for the long post, but things are about to get very different around here.
