Hi Y'all,

Before I start, I would like to say that English isn't my mother tongue (and that I really wished I didn't start off my non-fictional sex story with the words "my" and "mother", but hey). Also, hi My name is Henrik!

My story begins in the year prior to the corona lockdown in 2019, almost 5 years (what?) ago. I was a collegiate swimmer back then and actually started my second year at the University. Our university had an okay-big team, we were a group of 12 swimmers (6 guys and 6 girls). At the beginning of the year, we had our annual try-outs to which many showed up yet only a few would take a spot (if any actually). Our coach had a reputation of scaring newbies during these try-outs so only the best would come forward and stay. I myself was lucky enough to have made that team the year prior after almost drowning in our pool. So yeah I was curious to see who would show up.

This year the try-outs were as brutal as ever and we (the current team) were sitting in the stands, looking down on all the participants like the self-righteous brats we were. I mean, our spot was secured, the least we could do was act like swimmers royalty, right?
All jokes aside, we were actually a pretty cool team, somewhat of a family since we trained on a daily basis. So we really wanted to see (and judge) the swimmers who could eventually join our group, again if any (those try-outs man... I'm not kidding).

Our girls were checking out the guys and we, the guys, were checking out the girls (along with our physiotherapist Stéphanie, a young woman of 30 who was not only a cool chick, but who also could "turn" some women or make them excited for her "Taco Tuesdays". She would play a important role later, so don't forget about Stéphanie.).
I indeed said that we were checking out the girls. I was 20, have had some relationships with a few girls but was currently single. My ex-gf Jess was also part of our current team and I was still tracking who she would date or be interested in, you know what I mean right. Well, that day was no different.

One of the last guys to try out was Sebastian, a 6ft tall brown-haired swimmer with blue eyes (I say tall, but it's rather short for a swimmer. I myself am 6ft1 and had the nickname "Shorty" in the team) caught the eye of every girl on our team. Yes, even Stéphanie would cast out a "Wow" when he entered. Our girls giggled like school girls and I immediatly thought "Shit, even Jess looks like she wants to rip off whatever's left of clothing on this dude". Sebastian had a lean swimmers physique (broad shoulders, small waist) and a cool tattoo on his left shoulder. He could have easily mistaken these swimming try-outs for a Men's Health magazine audition. I mean, we, the rest of the male swimmers were also built quite in the same way and were considered handsome by a great deal of women. But this guy had it all, he'd be on the cover of MH magazine, whereas we would be maybe featured in a column, right after the cartoon section (Does MH magazine even have that? I have no idea).

Sebastian excelled at his try-outs and would be the only one to make our team. So that's 12 from the current team, plus this new guy= thirteen. Fuck talking about a bad omen, right?
Him being the new guy, and yes being somewhat of a runaway A&F model, he got all the attention he wanted and still was super modest about all it (damned, who was he? Wonderboy??). Jess would really be all flirty with him and I wasn't sure if it was because she wanted to make me jealous (the self-righteous brat I am) or that she really was into him. Either way, it bothered me, more then I would admit.

Weeks passed and Sebastian turned out to be a rather cool guy (Really...was the universe testing me? In a way, yes!, but I didn't realise that just yet). He was fast, especially in the 50meters butterfly which also happened to be my specialty (of fucking course...) so we sometimes were in direct competition to decide who would represent our university at the competitions.
This guy was getting under my skin. I caught myself checking him out on Instagram regularly, although I didn't even follow him (he didn't follow me, so why would I). Until one night when I was up in bed and was checking his insta feed, scrolling down his pictures to see (I think) whether he had a GF or not. Until I saw a picture of 2017, in which he seemed to hug a girl, I clicked on it, wanted to zoom in but double-clicked on it instead, yup I "liked" the picture (fuck) and immediatly undid the action.

"Shit , what the hell did I just do". I was wondering if he saw that, even after I "unliked" that picture. But hey, it was 1am and he wouldn't probably check his notifications until the morning. I got out of bed, drank some water, caught myself looking in the mirror to see if my arms would match Sebastians and decided to have a laugh with what happened whit that instagram picture before getting back to bed. I wanted to double check whether I set my alarm and saw that I had some Instagram notifications.
It was Sebastian, he got notified about my actions and decided to follow me and immediatly sent me message saying "Hi dude, like what you see ;)?".

My heart made a weird jump...
I tried to play it cool, altough I felt sweat everywhere, and said I thought I knew the cute girl in the picture (That still didn't explain why I was checking out his feed at 1am, but hey, like I said, I played it cool...). He said she was his best friend and that she indeed was a cute girl. I'm sincerely happy he didn't ask me why I was up looking at his photos this late.

We kept chatting on Instagram for a bit and at some point I just asked the question "Do you have a gf right now?" to which he responded "no" (damn, good news for Jess). He then said "Funny story btw, the girl you saw in that picture, which you thought was cute, is actually an ex of mine. We had a good relationship until we both fell head over heels for someone else, and decided it was best to end things on good terms. That's why we're still best friends.".

I was like "No way, shit, so after you broke up, did both of you go your seperate ways then with your new love interests yet remained friends?"
To which he dropped a bomd "Well, only one of us did, actually I did for a brief period. But that's another story... However that's not the crazy part... the things is: we fell for the same person... the same guy.".

Uff, this felt like a giant punch in my stomach (weird cuz I actually had nothing to do with it), I think I re-wrote my next message 20 times to eventually ask "So you're gay?".
To which he took some time to rephrase his answer, and said "Not really, I would consider myself rather Bisexual, but who needs labels, right?".
"Right!" Fuck, my answer came out very quick, too quick, to ofcourse he would respond with "Oh, so are you unlabeled yourself?". And yeah, playing it cool again and responded "Neii sorry dude, very straight and into the girls here, but hey nothing against it!"
"Hehe No need to be sorry, I wasn't implying I was into you, man ;-) anyway gonna go sleep now. Sleep tight very-straight Henrik!" was his last answer.
This somewhat bothered me, the way he said he wasn't into me? I thought it bothered because i was a competitive swimmer and I needed to win at everything, cuz life is a fucking competition bruh (high five). So I went to sleep with a rather annoying aftertaste... Or did the "super-straight Henrik" thing bother me?
Anyway, what was with this guy that intrigued me so much??

Wanna hear the rest of it?
I can assure you there is still more to cum (too soon?) !
 
Hi Y'all,
Im back with a second part.
FYI I did swap out some names, a bit for privacy reasons. But my name's still Henrik :)
Aaaand back to the story

--

The following days (after my instagram-stalker-fiasco), Sebastian acted like nothing happened. Things weren’t awkward, however I felt really weird and self-conscious around him. Not because of his latest revelation but because I couldn’t quite figure out why I was so intrigued. The girls were really all over him, I somewhat understood it. This guy was really good-looking. I did get kinda jealous, it felt like us, the rest of the other guys didn’t matter anymore. We were the extra’s in Sebastian’s world.

Like I’ve mentioned before, both of us were good at the 50m butterfly and with the upcoming Regional Cup (The Regionals) only one of us would represent our University. I would always play it unnecessarily cool when he was around yet wanted to win from him at training all the time (Not to toot my own horn, but I was pretty good back then). Yet annoyingly, Jess (my ex-gf), would cheer on Sebastian so hard it was almost obvious she wanted him to get the spot. And Sebastian? He wouldn’t mind her flirtatious cheering and flirted as much back as he could.

At one point during training, I completely snapped. I pretty much threw a tantrum before the entire swimming team and ran off to the locker rooms (so far for the “playing it cool” part, right…). I sat down on the bench of the locker room, and immediately regretted my actions. What just happened? Why did he, or Jess, or both get under my skin so easily?

To my surprise, Stéphanie, our physiotherapist came knocking into the locker room (Yes surprised, because this was a male locker room after all and yeah I didn’t expect her to check on me).
“You alright, Henrik?”
I said I was and I just got stressed because I wanted that spot for the Regionals so bad.
“Are you getting enough sleep? You look exhausted! And it looks like you have lost some weight. What’s bothering you?”
I admitted that I slept pretty badly (actually ever since the night Sebastian outed himself to me, but kept that to myself), but that it probably was some classic pre-competition stress.

She nodded but added “Allow me to say this, but weight loss like this looks like you’re struggling with deeper feelings or maybe even a broken heart?” (Ok, Stéphanie the shrink)
To which I said “You mean Jess? No, I’m really over her”.
“That’s not what I meant” she said “I meant Sebastian…”

“What the hell Stéphanie!? I ain’t gay, why would you say something like that” (Damn I was angry, shocked, nervous, all at once). “Please, leave me alone now”.
Stéphanie left, leaving me shocked and frustrated about her statement.
When I was about to get dressed (for me, practice was over after my tantrum, so why bothering staying) the door opened again. This time, my team mate Jack, came in and said “Dude, what the fuck, coach is really pissed you walked out and you might just have given your spot to Sebastian. What were you thinking? Is it because Jess is flirting with Pretty Boy?”

I decided I would learn from my, very recent, mistake with Stéphanie and play it safe by just going along with his scenario and said “Yea, why does she have to rub it in my face that she likes him?”.
To which he said “Yeah and the way Pretty Boy (we had a nickname for him, fancier then my Shorty nickname, I admit) is flirting back… I wouldn’t be surprised they might be dating soon, so really try to get over it”.

Another punch in stomach… Would they really? He (somewhat) labeled himself as bisexual (did the rest know?) so he could easily get interested in her. Why didn’t that cross my mind before? What bothered me more? My ex who was into Pretty Boy or Pretty Boy who was into my ex (instead of me? NO I DID NOT JUST THINK THAT). Fuck what was happening?

The next day in training, Coach announced the swimmers who would compete at the upcoming Regionals (which was still three weeks from then) and it may come as no surprise (After my childish tantrum causing a big scene) that Sebastian got the spot (my spot). Furthermore, Four other swimmers also did including, yup, Jess…

The Regionals was a 3day competition which took place rather far from where we trained, so they were required to sleep in a hotel next to the competition arena. The idea that Jess and Sebastian would stay in the same hotel for 3 nights made me want to punch someone in the face… so I did (no no joking).

However, since the competition also featured relay events (the team event with 4 swimmers of the same team taking turns at swimming, really bad explained) and since our team had two specialists at the 50m butterfly (Sebastian and yours truly) with Jack and Leandro being very good at Butterfly as well, our Coach had the idea we should try out for this relay competition since we had a good chance to place or even medal at this competition.
So yeey, I would get to tag along (and like a true child, after throwing a major tantrum, got my way eventually!).

Ever since Coach’s announcement, things changed at training. I caught Sebastian several times eyeing me and smiling. This would always make me feel strange yet not uncomfortable. So I would smile back. We trained intensively together, since we would work on our relay and all of a sudden, it felt like we weren’t in direct competition any longer. We were part of the same team. And I caught myself looking so much forward to another day of training together.

The day before we left, Sebastian and I were the only two left in the shower room (it’s in theory an open shower but there are walls up to chest height in between every shower, so your manhood is pretty much covered). We started talking about our chances of winning a relay medal and at some point I said “Can you imagine how popular it would make us if we would win Regionals?” (Yea, I know how stupid I sounded)
“Haha, you mean, how many girls you could score with that medal?” Sebastian asked.
“Dude I would go on dates wearing that medal” I said.
“Man, I’d fuck with that medal on” Sebastian added.

And all of a sudden I pictured Sebastian fucking, I saw his sweaty body pumping and hearing his grunts in my mind (WOW wait what?!). This had its immediate effect and I noticed I started to get a semi. I stuttered (although he couldn’t see it from where he stood), but it was obvious I made it awkward. I think I said something like “Fuck yeah” back, but I finished showering quickly, grabbed my towel, tried to hide my bulge and ran of the lockers. This was certainly new…

I went for a long walk after that. Instead of returning to my dorm immediatly, I just kept on walking, replaying what happened in the locker room. Did he notice something? Why would I care? Why would I think I would care... I walked around for like an hour.
Did Stéphanie really pick up on something I didn't know yet?

More to come, but consider this as some sort of awkward foreplay

This part maybe wasn’t super spectacular or physical, but for me it was a very strange period with a lot of questions. Maybe some of you would recognize this strange inner journey, no?

Hi Y'all,
Im back with a second part.
FYI I did swap out some names, a bit for privacy reasons. But my name's still Henrik :)
Aaaand back to the story

The following days (after my instagram-stalker-fiasco), Sebastian acted like nothing happened. Things weren’t awkward, however I felt really weird and self-conscious around him. Not because of his latest revelation but because I couldn’t quite figure out why I was so intrigued. The girls were really all over him, I somewhat understood it. This guy was really good-looking. I did get kinda jealous, it felt like us, the rest of the other guys didn’t matter anymore. We were the extra’s in Sebastian’s world.

“What the hell Stéphanie!? I ain’t gay, why would you say something like that” (Damn I was angry, shocked, nervous, all at once). “Please, leave me alone now”.
Stéphanie left, leaving me shocked and frustrated about her statement.
When I was about to get dressed (for me, practice was over after my tantrum, so why bothering staying) the door opened again. This time, my team mate Jack, came in and said “Dude, what the fuck, coach is really pissed you walked out and you might just have given your spot to Sebastian. What were you thinking? Is it because Jess is flirting with Pretty Boy?”

I decided I would learn from my, very recent, mistake with Stéphanie and play it safe by just going along with his scenario and said “Yea, why does she have to rub it in my face that she likes him?”.
To which he said “Yeah and the way Pretty Boy (we had a nickname for him, fancier then my Shorty nickname, I admit) is flirting back… I wouldn’t be surprised they might be dating soon, so really try to get over it”.

Another punch in stomach… Would they really? He (somewhat) labeled himself as bisexual (did the rest know?) so he could easily get interested in her. Why didn’t that cross my mind before? What bothered me more? My ex who was into Pretty Boy or Pretty Boy who was into my ex (instead of me? NO I DID NOT JUST THINK THAT). Fuck what was happening?

The next day in training, Coach announced the swimmers who would compete at the upcoming Regionals (which was still three weeks from then) and it may come as no surprise (After my childish tantrum causing a big scene) that Sebastian got the spot (my spot). Furthermore, Four other swimmers also did including, yup, Jess…

The Regionals was a 3day competition which took place rather far from where we trained, so they were required to sleep in a hotel next to the competition arena. The idea that Jess and Sebastian would stay in the same hotel for 3 nights made me want to punch someone in the face… so I did (no no joking).

However, since the competition also featured relay events (the team event with 4 swimmers of the same team taking turns at swimming, really bad explained) and since our team had two specialists at the 50m butterfly (Sebastian and yours truly) with Jack and Leandro being very good at Butterfly as well, our Coach had the idea we should try out for this relay competition since we had a good chance to place or even medal at this competition.
So yeey, I would get to tag along (and like a true child, after throwing a major tantrum, got my way eventually!).

Ever since Coach’s announcement, things changed at training. I caught Sebastian several times eyeing me and smiling. This would always make me feel strange yet not uncomfortable. So I would smile back. We trained intensively together, since we would work on our relay and all of a sudden, it felt like we weren’t in direct competition any longer. We were part of the same team. And I caught myself looking so much forward to another day of training together.

The day before we left, Sebastian and I were the only two left in the shower room (it’s in theory an open shower but there are walls up to chest height in between every shower, so your manhood is pretty much covered). We started talking about our chances of winning a relay medal and at some point I said “Can you imagine how popular it would make us if we would win Regionals?” (Yea, I know how stupid I sounded)
“Haha, you mean, how many girls you could score with that medal?” Sebastian asked.
“Dude I would go on dates wearing that medal” I said.
“Man, I’d fuck with that medal on” Sebastian added.

And all of a sudden I pictured Sebastian fucking, I saw his sweaty body pumping and hearing his grunts in my mind (WOW wait what?!). This had its immediate effect and I noticed I started to get a semi. I stuttered (although he couldn’t see it from where he stood), but it was obvious I made it awkward. I think I said something like “Fuck yeah” back, but I finished showering quickly, grabbed my towel, tried to hide my bulge and ran of the lockers. This was certainly new…

I went for a long walk after that. Instead of returning to my dorm immediatly, I just kept on walking, replaying what happened in the locker room. Did he notice something? Why would I care? Why would I think I would care... I walked around for like an hour.
Did Stéphanie really pick up on something I didn't know yet?

More to come, but consider this as some sort of awkward foreplay

This part maybe wasn’t super spectacular or physical, but for me it was a very strange period with a lot of questions. Maybe some of you would recognize this strange inner journey, no?
Please I need more :(
