Collide

What the fuck am I doing? It was dinner, and a game with his friend. Why was he acting like this was a big deal? Coop ran by the pizza place, grabbed a large pepperoni, and some wings before heading home.
It was about ten minutes before kick-off when he got home. Cooper set the food on the coffee table and then yelled up the stairs to Noah. “Stop primping and get your ass down here. It’s almost game time.”
By the time Cooper came out of the kitchen with a couple beers in his hands, Noah was jogging down the stairs, his hair wet, telling Coop that he spent most of the time he’d been gone working the yard. That he’d caught him right after his shower. Noah wore a pair of gray sweats, low on his hips, and no shirt. Cooper’s eyes trained in on the cut of his abs, the trail of hair disappearing beneath his clothes.
It struck him that he was checking out another man, enjoying the way his body moved and each hard plain of it. It was a shock to his system, blasting electricity into him, but not enough to make him turn away. This is really happening. I’m into Noah…
“You keep looking at me like that, and it’s not the game you’ll be watching, but my mouth, swallowing your cock.” Noah’s voice was all sex. It sent desire racing through him, ricocheting off all his insides, and heading straight to his crotch. He was already getting hard.
“Holy fuck. You are killin’ me here. I’m not thinking that’s not a such a bad thing.” Coop took a step toward Noah.
His friend shook his head. Noah hooked his finger in the loops of Cooper’s pants and pulled. “Always so damned impulsive.” He chuckled before pressing his lips to Cooper’s. Coop let him in, eager, excited, fucking hungry to taste him again.
“And you’re a tease.” Cooper winked at him.
This should be freaking me out more than it is. Why aren’t I losing it? Those thoughts were cut off, when Noah’s tongue stroked his own. When his teeth closed around Coop’s bottom lip and he bit, before sweeping his mouth again.
Cooper’s cock jerked behind the fly of his jeans. He needed to get off so bad he could have lost it right there. But as quickly as it started, Noah was pulling away. “Relax. You don’t have to be in such a hurry. I’m not going anywhere.”
The muscles in Cooper’s body deflated…but not his dick. That was still hard and so fucking ready. “You’re a tease.”
Noah winked at him. “You like it. You don’t think I know the best thing to do is to keep Cooper Bradshaw on his toes?”
Coop smiled at that, liking that Noah knew him so well, but then he let the grin slide away. Was that really how Noah saw him? He thought Cooper was always looking for the next, most exciting thing?
Is that how I am?
“Come on. We’re not missing this game. Don’t pretend you don’t remember one of the last games we watched. I’m winning this one.”
Cooper had forgotten, but now the memory flooded his thoughts.
“I’m gonna win, Noah. There’s no way the Broncos are missing this field goal, and then I get to pick what we do tonight.” He didn’t get why Noah wouldn’t want to sneak out to the girls’ slumber party anyway. It would be way more fun than staying in the tent all night, just the two of them.
“Are you kidding me? It’s too far. The Cowboys came back to take the lead, there’s no way we’re losing on a field goal.”
As far as Coop knew, Noah had never even been to Texas. He only loved the Cowboys because it was his dad’s favorite team. He guessed he understood that though.
“Remember our deal though. If you win, you get to pick if we go or not and if I do, it’s my choice.” Noah smiled. “I mean…just because I don’t wanna get in trouble.”
“We won’t get in trouble. We haven’t gotten caught, yet.”
Both their eyes were on the TV screen after that. Cooper and Noah had watched as the Broncos kicked the field goal. Watched as it flew through the air. It was like slow motion or something, and he wished he could hit fast forward.
And then, it sailed between the poles. “Yeah!” Cooper jumped in the air. “I told you I’d win. And don’t worry, you’ll have fun tonight. It’ll be perfect. I heard Gabby thinks you’re cute.”
Noah shook his head, looking down at the ground. Cooper was about to ask him what was wrong when he looked up and shrugged. “Yeah, I guess you’re right.”
They hung out with Cooper’s aunt and uncle, and ate dinner after the game. The whole time Noah was acting like he was mad at Cooper or something. He knew once Noah snuck out with him, they’d have a good time. They always did. That’s why he’d rather hang out with Noah than anyone else.
