His Roommate’s Secret

This story started off as a brief 460-word scenario titled “My Roommate’s Surprise” and was originally shared via the author’s website. It was later revised and expanded into the following novelette.

“Brady.”

“Yeah?”

“I need to tell you something.”

The hesitant sound of Rex’s voice indicated that this was not going to be about the economics exam he’d been stressing over for the past week or whether I was planning to head to the gym later to lift weights.

Sitting at my desk in our dorm room, I closed the lid on my laptop and turned to face him. It was early morning, the rest of the world around us still quiet, no one playing pizza-box hockey down the hall or guys who were late for class thundering by our closed door.

Rex stood across the room in the open space between our beds, his strong body stiff and straight as he stared at the floor before him. “I’m gay.”

Two words from my college roommate, and I couldn’t blink, much less speak, or even keep my mouth from hanging open. I had to look like I was afflicted with some kind of spontaneous uncontrollable drooling problem.

I’d lived with Rex for the past two years, and I had no idea he was into guys. None.

Confusion rushed through me as I went over all the times I’d seen him head out on a date. How many of those nights were spent with men?

I thought we were the closest of friends, thought we’d pretty much covered the important shit about ourselves long ago. We’d spent a number of half-drunk nights during our first semester in the dorm shooting the shit about our pre-college lives, jobs we’d had that sucked, loves we’d lost, the worst sex of our lives, and the best.

I thought back on his “best” story. He’d described it as one long orgasm-filled weekend with an old high school friend he’d reunited with at a hometown wedding. The two of them alternated between fucking and something far more tender and passionate, something distinctly removed from his normal sex life and unlike anything he’d ever experienced before. I’d gotten turned on just listening to him talk about it, which had me feeling completely uncomfortable, what with my being a gay man getting all worked up over a hetero experience like that.

Had that story actually been about a guy?

I forced down a stiff swallow. “You’re…”

“Gay.” Rex’s deep voice reverberated in the small room. That time he looked me in the eye as he said the word, speaking slowly as if I might not understand what he meant.

What a laugh. I’d known I played for the other team by the fifth grade, and apparently, not long after that, everyone in my life assumed the same thing. There was just something about me.

Rex, on the other hand, had always had a voracious appetite for women. And they for him. What with the tribal tattoos covering his upper body and a physique that had the female art students begging him to drop his pants for their Nude Drawings course.
