An unexpected coming out

My name is John Doe. My buddy Tyler and I have been friends literally since before I could remember. Our parents were good friends when we were little so we've been together since before I could walk. I know everything about him; his favorite foods, music, what brand of deodorant he refuses to ever stop using no matter how much I beg. And I know his taste in girls to. He's not too focused on appearance, anyone with nice tits and good ass. He likes girls who are sweet, nothing to angry, but not push-overs either. But for as long as I've known him he's never had a steady girlfriend. Most of them time his relationships end with them hooking up a couple times and then mutually going their own ways. Yep, I know everything about Tyler, and he knows everything about me... or at least I thought he did.

We were on the college campus, both of us in our second year. And Tyler was talking about his latest night out with a girl by the name of Sasha.

"So we get to her place and the first thing I do is take her top off and her tits are amazing like you wouldn't believe man!"

"I'm sure they were." I half respond not really interested. I was more focused on taking notes out of my book. I didn't really care about girls, or their tits for that matter. But I figured Tyler wanted someone to brag to about his conquests and I, as his best friend, got stuck with task. Tyler was super popular with the female student body. He had played most sports through out our lives; football, basketball, soccer, etc. And all that play had given him a nice thick physique. He wad muscular but he wasn't necessarily jacked. He had a soft touch, like you could fall asleep safe in his arms. I had imagined about it more than a few times.

"I started grabbing them, but gently at first. You can't start out too hard man." Tyler explained.

"Uh huh." I replied.

"I started sucking on her nipples and she's moaning so hard. She can't even wait man she gets on her knees and pulls my pants down."

"And let me guess, she gave you an amazing blow job." I say sarcastically

"Well, I wouldn't say amazing." Tyler scratched the back of his head in thought. "I mean she was good but she wasn't really ready for the task."

"What, was her technique not up to snuff?"

"No dude it wasn't her technique. It was my size that was the problem." That perked my ears up. For all the times I had listened to Tyler brag about his sex life, this was a detail he had shockingly never brought up. "See not to brag man," Tyler gave a smirk at this, "But I'm pretty big, even soft." I felt my heart rate go up.

"Oh yeah?" I say trying to hide the shakiness in my voice.

"Yeah, like most girls can get most of it in their throats when I'm just starting. But when I'm at full mass, most can't even get half way down without ****."

"Oh, well... um" I'm stuttering, also closing my legs a little. "Was the rest of the night fine after that?"

"Oh yeah, she let me fuck her tits. It doesn't feel that amazing, but the way she looked was so hot I came all over her face!" Tyler let that last bit out with a laugh and a slap on my back. I wheezed a little at the sudden impact but quickly adjusted myself.

"Hey dude," Tyler said, "I just thought about it. I've been telling you about my sexapades for months but you haven't shared any of yours." This I raised my eyebrows at. "Come on man, don't hold out on me. Have you been meeting with a secret lady behind your best buds back?"

"Lady?" I asked confused.

"You know maybe like that girl Alexa in your psychology class. Ooh, how about Lindsey from History. I could talk to Sasha, she's really cool dude."

Part of me was just a little stunned by what I was hearing. Tyler was my best friend. He had to know. He had to just be messing with me.

"No thanks?" I say still audibly confused.

"Why not man?" Tyler ask genuine curiosity on his face.

"Because... I don't like girls." I say it in a way that should have told him this was obvious. But he was still quite, even tilting his head in confusion.

"What?" He said

"Dude, you know I'm gay. Right?" He was quite again. Before raising his heads up in surprise and yelling.

"WHAT!?"

"How could you not know that?!" I exclaimed."

"What to you mean how could I not know? You never told me!"

"What do you mean I never told you! It wasn't even a secret! I've literally have flirted with guys right in front of you! Hell, I've hit on you before!" He was little stunned by that last statement.

"Wait you have? When?"

"Dude when we were in high school and you started buffing up, I touched your muscles and flirted all the time. Eventually I took it you weren't interested and were just playing along to be nice and I dropped it."

"Dude I wasn't playing, I thought you were playing. I had no idea you were serious back then. I didn't even know you were gay until right now."

I could hardly believe it. Yes Tyler was a bit thick headed, and maybe not the brightest guy. But this was something I had thought was so obvious and here he was telling me he had no idea about a fundamental aspect of who I was. This realization brought a sudden chill to my spine.

"Does... Does this change how you feel about me?" I ask, a twinge of fear in my voice. Tyler's eyes widen in what I imagine is shock and before I can move he's pulling me into a tight hug. I try to focus on the platonic affection in it, rather than the feeling of my face being pressed into his soft, muscular chest.

"Dude are you kidding me. No! Of course it doesn't." He lets me go enough to look me in the eye. "We've been friends forever, something like that could never even make a dent in it." I blush as he talks to me. Damn it he's cute. And handsome at the same time. I draw myself back to reality quick.

"Hey, thanks man. That really means a lot to hear you say that." I can feel the heat in my face, but Tyler seems perceptive enough not to comment on it.

"Of course man." He lets me go and we resume our sitting posture, and I try to go back to focusing on my textbook. But Tyler can't seem to help himself.

"So have you hooked up with any hot guys then?" He asks with a shit eating grin.
