The following is a Halloween tale hinting at transformation. Enjoy!
Reid was loving the campus life, although he had yet to come out to everyone feeling nervous about a new environment. That didn’t keep him from crushing on an upperclassman like Knox though. Reid felt so grateful the young man had seen him eating alone and introduced himself, but also confused why Knox could never hang with him at night. Knox did often ask him to take walks though, which Reid had grown to enjoy – especially when they stopped to just chat, allowing Reid to better enjoy Knox’s intoxicating musk. Every inhale made Reid feel incredibly aroused by the young man despite the rejections for a night hang.
Today, though, that chat would be interrupted. “Hey Reid, I don’t mean to cut you off but I see my mentor Ezequiel heading this way. I’ve been wanting you to meet him.” Reid turned around and was treated to a very firm handshake. The introduction was brief, but he didn’t leave before whispering something to Knox. Reid was about to inquire when Knox beat him to the punch. “I want to apologize if it seemed I wasn’t interesting in dating. I like to take my time because there are things about my life that are difficult for some to accept. But you seem open to the journey, so… will you go to the fall formal with me?”
