Finding A New Purpose Chapter 1

It had all started when I had lost some stupid bet over a video game.

"Loser has to jerk the winner off," my friend Mike said jokingly while warming his trigger finger up on his controller.

"Ha, funny."

During the game I tried staying focused on beating him soundly so I could gloat over it but I had been slightly distracted by what he had said before we started. I obviously knew he had been kidding but my mind has a tendency to wander as it is. While dead and waiting to come back into the game, I had caught myself glancing at his pants, but only for a second before correcting my eyes back on the screen before he could notice.

I won't lie. I had never been with anyone in my twenty years of life so far, a somewhat bitter point at times. Never been touched, never done the touching. But that hadn't meant I never thought about it. Hell, I'd even fantasized about Mike on occasion, though I could never even think about going through with such a thing. I was bi-curious but never thought about actually acting on those impulses and honestly didn't have the desire to be emotionally involved with the same sex. So I mostly thought about women, but that's it. I suppose that had been the reason why I'd never been successful with any of the girls I had liked in highschool. Just didn't have the courage.

For most of the match, I was ahead by quite a bit, but started slipping in the last two minutes. 'C'mon! Stop playing like a moron!' I said to myself right before taking a shot to the head, shortly followed by Mike punching me in the arm.

He had always done stuff like that since we'd become friends years before. I suppose it was just one of those things that older friends do, sort of like a brotherly thing. Granted, he was only four years older than me, I still felt young compared to him. Not only was I young, but I was somewhat small, only 5'9" and about 150 pounds soaking wet. Mike had always tried getting me to 'bulk up' as he called it, and I'd gone with him to his gym several times but never saw any results. Of course, he had seen results in himself, but that was probably because of the ridiculous amount of time he spent there. He practically lived in the gym and he'd 'bulked up' to a modest 250 pounds on his 6'1" frame.
