I have a story that's happening in real-time.
I have a friend (we'll call him Josh) I've known for the last 5+ years. Josh and I met as coworkers shortly after college and have been friends since. While there was always some flirtation between us, he has been a serial dater of women and I've assumed straight. He's been in relationships (again, with women) most of the time I've known him, including up until recently.
I mentioned flirtation. The whole time we were friends, Josh has made flirty comments. About me being cute, or sexy, or having a nice butt... other joking sexual comments that I'd just brush off, because I've known straight guys to do that kind of playing, joking, fishing for compliments, etc. I don't ever make much of it... Well, Josh didn't ever come onto me but, little did he know, I was always open to hooking up with him; maybe he picked up on it a little, but I don't think he really knew. A few years into our friendship, just because of some of his flaky behavior, our friendship dwindled and, even when it picked back up, I had him at arm's length knowing he might flake out again – not responding to texts, cancelling plans, etc.
Right before the pandemic, Josh and I saw each other in-person at an event and caught up briefly. After that, it wasn't really until later in the year that we began texting each other. He texted me "Miss you" and things picked up. We met up at a park one day with other friends, and it was pretty uneventful. After the fact, the flirty messages between my friend and I started.
The texting was playful, but I was so hard each time. It started with him mentioning that, next time we hang out, it would just be the two of us, and that sparked my interest. Then, we were talking about his kind of sexy quarantine beard and whether I liked it or not; I joking offered to get beard oil (which he hadn't heard of) and help massage it, which I know made an eyebrow raise for him. So simple but, after that, every time he flirted with me, it turned me on and it was happening over text. One late night in particular, he texted me something innocent and it escalated into a joking conversation about us cuddling. He made a joke about him being hard with a winky face... The next day, he texted to apologize for being so forward. I told him that that was tame and I would take whatever I could get.
Shortly after that, one day I texted him after seeing he received the vaccine, which I'd also just received. I texted him that I was excited for him, and he texted me back (again, seemingly jokingly) that he couldn't wait for a time when we could safely make out. I responded with something direct about being open to making out with him, and left it in his court to read that as a joke or an invitation. A week later, one late weekend night we were each in bed texting, and the texts with Josh, my former coworker and former best friend who I believed was straight, turned very sexual. I think I made some joke about helping him learn to swallow (he mentioned spilling his drink) and that led him to wonder about when I'd teach him how.
Ultimately, Josh told me that he was hard, and then that he's wanted to suck my dick for a while – which blew my mind! It would be one thing if he just wanted me to suck his dick, He told me about how, when we saw each other at the park mid-pandemic, that he was thinking of cancelling other plans to invite me over to his place to try to hook up. I suggested we snapchat because we were both alone, hard in bed. Shortly after, we began trading really hot dick pics and cum shot/jerk off videos. It was amazing the first time I saw his dick because, honestly, I'd wanted to see it for most of the time we'd known each other – especially with what a stud he was with women, seeing one or more at a time. It's wild to now have that closure and to know that we're going to meet up soon, where I'm going to blow him, he's going to blow me, and maybe we'll do more, He was saying he regrets not doing all of this together sooner.
It's only been a short while so we're planning to meet up soon. I'm sure I'll keep you all updated, but just wanted to share this mostly unexpected thing that's only now come up with a long-time friend.
