Shut Up + Go Down On Me

The car door slamming shut made a sound that echoed across the empty street, bouncing off houses and back into Josh’s ears, mixing with the muffled rap beats that were coming from the house in front of him. Josh had arrived for Adam’s party, and he was more nervous than he ought to be.

For one thing, his rule about groping as a greeting was still on the books in the app, so there was that to contend with. And to boot, now he was apparently going to be expected to go down on his fellow classmates and friends at this gathering, and vice versa. In the three-hour interval between this party and when the app had made its own change, he’d had no time to research anything online. Why? Josh’s parents had come home from work, and after chatting with them for a bit (thank goodness the first rule he’d seen happen didn’t apply to family), they went on a walk around the neighborhood park. There weren’t many people around, so Josh didn’t get the chance to see any rules in action.

Now, he was arriving at Adam’s house for the party, at which there were supposed to be 25-odd people, plus Alexis, his classmate whom he had a secret crush on. Mentally preparing himself to grab, grope, give, and receive oral sex, he knocked on the front door.

After a moment, Adam, the tall wide receiver on the school’s football team, answered the door. “Yo Josh! You made it! What’s up my man?” And of course, he capped his words off with a brief cupping of Josh’s junk.

Already desensitized to the act (somehow), Josh reciprocated the move. “Not much, dude. Just looking forward to hanging out,” he said somewhat nervously. He considered Adam a decent friend, as they both were pretty big football fans. The new oral sex rule hadn’t said anything about gender. So what was the protocol here?

Josh got an answer almost immediately.

“Quick, come in and we’ll do it,” Adam said. Unsure what he was referring to, Josh stepped into the foyer, where he could see flashing lights down the hall, and hear music blaring. Then, Adam suddenly dropped to his knees. Josh was too flabbergasted to act, and Adam noticed his awkward face and lack of action. “You OK dude? Let’s go.”

Hesitantly, Josh dropped his shorts and his boxers, making Adam the first non-family member (as a child, of course) or girlfriend to see his member. Although, he quickly rationalized, in this bizarro universe, that wasn’t true.

And, sure enough, Adam took Josh’s dick into his mouth and started an honest-to-god blowjob: gripping the base, swirling the tongue, and staring up into his eyes. Despite the surrealness of the whole situation, Josh gasped slightly as Adam very expertly delivered him pleasure with his mouth. But after 10-15 seconds or so, it was over. Then, it was Adam’s turn to stand, and he started to drop down his shorts.

Knowing it was now-or-never, Josh slowly fell to his knees and got ready to give the first head of his life. His real life, that is; not this alternate version of him that everyone seemed to know. Adam’s dick was, he learned, slightly larger than his own, and so, copying his friend, he engulfed the thing into his mouth and tried to emulate what he’d received. After a similar amount of time, Adam was the one to pull back. After fully clothing himself once more, he tapped Josh on the head and said: “Thanks bud. Now let’s have some fun.”

Still in a daze, Josh rose to his feet and restored his shorts to their rightful place around his waist. He followed Adam into the living room, where a lively party was already underway: loud music, a partial dance floor in one corner, a card table with drinks and snacks in the other, and in the middle were plenty of people he recognized from school, all mingling and talking. Almost immediately, he spotted Alexis, who (he was pretty sure) had no idea of his undercover pining of her. However, he guessed that they’d consider each other friends, having been in classes and group projects through the years. The app was unhelpfully vague when it came to who counted as a “friend.”

Grabbing a drink and making his way over to the brunette, Josh felt his heart pounding. This was really happening.

Ending a conversation with another girl, Alexis turned. “Hey Josh!” she said, in her light voice that he found sexy. “It sucks we don’t have classes together this semester, huh?”

And in a few moments, their lack of shared classes wasn’t the only thing that “sucked.”
