Why this must be read:

Another sweet first-time fic for our boys. I like this one for the momentary sense of awkwardness, the uncertainty, and the fact that it is subtle for fanfic (the attraction isn’t overly obvious, and things evolve slowly over the course of three stories--and still remain open-ended by the end of the third fic).

Merton had never devoted any serious thought to the attractiveness of other guys, but he’d known even before he became friends with the football player that Tommy was probably the best-looking guy in school. He didn’t need to watch the dozens of girls who followed him around like lost sheep to know that the jock’s tanned skin and toned physique probably made him the subject of more than a few hormonal fantasies for several of the student body.

As he’d gotten to know the other boy, however, he’d realised there was more to it than that. The first time Tommy had smiled at him, he’d made a mental note that the guy could easily make it as a male model, but the more smiles Tommy sent his way, the more little sparks of excitement they’d elicited inside Merton. For a while, he’d thought Tommy’s hair could do with a decent cut, but somewhere along the line he’d started to wonder how it would feel curled around his fingers.

He couldn’t recall a specific moment when he’d gone from knowing that other people thought that Tommy was sexy, to finding his best friend sexy himself, but it had happened. He wished too that he could think of a more interesting word to describe it, but the simple fact was that Tommy was sexy. The guy radiated sex, from the casual way he stretched out next to Merton on the bed, to the easy smile he was showing in response to something on the TV, to the way he licked the popcorn butter from his fingers.
