Alex

"Well would it be better if I called you Alexis then?" I teased, that was another name I use to tease him with, the name almost seemed to suit him. As long as I could remember he was reserved and quiet, he always had a bit of an androgynous look to him and was teased constantly for it. When others were playing sports he was quietly drawing, when others were out causing trouble like teenage boys do, he was usually at home cleaning or cooking. But even though I would tease him by calling him that, he never really argued against it, I figured he just learned to accept it as just teasing.

He was silent for a short moment before replying. "Yeah, I'll be out in a minute". I figured I might as well get the game started while he finishes whatever he was doing.

It wasn't long after I got the game started that he finally decided to come out. He was wearing knee length skin tight black shorts and a white loose tank top, and I also couldn't help but notice his legs and arms were shaved. I know I shouldn't question how another man grooms himself, but I couldn't help but wonder why, considering it only added to his androgynous image.

He sat down next to me, close enough that his arm occasionally grazed mine, his skin was as silky and soft as it was milky pale. He grabbed a controller and when began playing. We played round after round, he would win some, I'd win some, though I hated to admit it he probably won more than me.

We played for well over an hour before switching to another game, even then it was virtually the same, him winning some, me winning a few. For hours we played, switching to game to game, and even though I hardly could win at anything I was still happy I could actually play with someone instead of alone, like I normally would.

As we played we seemed to lose track of time. It wasn't late before too long. It was about 8pm when our stomachs finally seemed to catch up with us. Hunger struck both of us like a bullet train, we could both hear each others stomachs, we agreed to take a break to eat something.
