Love is Always Write Anthology Volume 8

Oklahoma, I think."
    I flung myself in front of him, grinning like a fool as I pulled him along by his hands while walking backwards. "Oh, it's mutual. Yours is so hard and muscly, and I've been craving it since freshman year."
    "Why didn't you do anything about it?"
    "Why didn't you?"
    He stopped me and gave me a smack on the lips. "Well, I was pretty closeted for a while, remember? I guess neither of us was ready until now. My plan was to seduce you this week."
    "Oh, really? So was mine!"
    "Hey, great minds think alike, and all that. Let's go to bed."
    I'm not going to bore you with all the details, not that it was boring in the least. Let's just say that, as tired as we were, we didn't get much sleep. Knowing that we needed to be on Duval Street by ten-thirty to participate in the sea-to-shining-sea rainbow flag unveiling, we finally crashed after fucking for about three hours. Fluffernutter got an eyeful, and her revenge was to wake me up much too early, but I couldn't be mad because her eyes were crossed, she had to go so badly. We were barely out the door when she squatted on the closest grass and let go. I picked her up as we walked back inside, praising her for being such a good girl and not peeing in her cage. She wagged her tail and kissed me. I hugged her tight, loving her to death. I hoped that Kevin knew we were a package deal when not in school.
    Since lover-boy was still sleeping, I crawled back into bed and spooned him, feeling Fluffy leap onto the bed and curl up against the back of my legs. We slept until Hairy came barreling into the room, looking like he had as little sleep as we did, bellowing, "Rise and shine, oh friends of mine! It's time to be part of the greatest flag unfurling of all time."
    Both Kev and I groaned, but struggled out of bed after a quick kiss. Morning breath and all that, you know. We didn't exactly stop in the bathroom and brush our teeth when we had crashed through the door and fallen onto the bed last night. We did clean up afterwards, of course, but only what was absolutely necessary. And that's enough detail for you.
    "So, it finally happened, guys. I've been watching you two dance around each other for at least six months. I'm so glad that'll stop."
    "Yeah, wiseass, now you get to watch us cuddle and snuggle and make out. Lucky you!" I was grinning ear to ear, though, so it was hard to make it sound like any kind of dire threat.
    Kevin had beaten me into the bathroom, and I decided it would be quicker if we did our thing separately or we'd never leave. Plus I was a little sore, not having been fucked since spring break. Hopefully, that was no longer going to be a problem because my boyfriend was going to be sharing our room. Since there were two bedrooms in our suite next fall, Kevin and I had already decided we were letting Hairy have the other one. His schedule was very different from ours, since we participated in different sports with totally opposite schedules.
    "Kevin, move it! It's ten o'clock and we have to leave. We need to meet Duncan at ten-thirty."
    "So how was your night?" I asked
    "At least as good as yours, sweetie. Duncan is hung," he said as he spread his hands about twelve inches apart.
    "Ouch. He's not really that big, is he?"
    "Nah, but it felt like it." We snorted in laughter as Kevin headed to the dresser and I scrambled into the bathroom. I could hear Hairy retelling the joke as I started the water running in the sink and reached for my toiletry bag.
    Duncan was waiting when we arrived, holding breakfast sandwiches for us. The three of us embarrassed him with all our thanks. We were a bit breathless since we were late, but we gobbled them down and found some coffee. We decided to wait about halfway down the street so that we could watch the huge rainbow flow as it moved down hand by hand by hand. I was practically bouncing, I was so psyched to be there and participating in the historic event. As the flag got to us, I could see Gilbert Baker, the designer of both this flag and the original Rainbow Pride Flag, underneath it. At least I was pretty sure it was him based on a couple of pictures I had seen on the web. It was confirmed when I heard someone yelling hello to Gilbert and thanking him for this event. Gilbert waved and kept walking. We finally got to hold our edge and felt it slide through our fingers as it kept moving along. It was gorgeous (and heavy!), and I was happy to see that they had added in the turquoise and pink to bring it back to
