More'

'Just a little more...'

A sound of a whistle echo through out the room, signaling all people swimming practice was over.

"Great job everyone! Everyone seems to be improving a lot! If we keep going like this, we might win the nationals next year!" Their coach cheer, as the Male athletes start cheering along him.

"And you Darian!" The coach places a hand onto the muscular boy's shoulder, "You will lead this men, to another victory!"

The so name boy Darian, looks at the faces of his team, and with a shy and content heart he confidently nods his head.

"Lose or win! I'm content to have such a supportive hardworking team to spend memories with! But as your captain I will try to bring happiness, and happiness to us, and those who support us!"

The team clap, and cheer, as the come into a circle and putting their hand together the scream the name of their team as they throw their hands into the air.

"Practice is over!" a voice shouted inside the room, many students grunt, and sigh in relief as the torturous practice was finally over.

"Yo dude! Those kicks, damn! You gotta go easy on me, man! You almost kill me there!"

"Jace, quit being a little bitch. You deserve it after all." The Male grab his clean towel, and proceeds to wipe the sweat from his face.

"Oh right, Bruce. Don't forget about the group date."

Bruce sigh in desperation, as he let his head hang in total distress. Of course he had to attend such a dumb event.

"How could I forget..."

"Alright man, I will take a shower, and meet you at the Japanese restaurant!" Leaving to the lockers room, Jace left a Bruce with a sour mood, even himself cannot stand it.

"Damn that fool."

—

"So are you coming?"

"I don't know Simon, group dates aren't really my thing..." Darian scratches his cheek nervously, as he tries to avoid eye contact with his best friend.

"Please, I don't wanna go there alone! I mean Jace is going to be there but is not gonna be the same without you!" Simon whine like a little kid, and throw himself onto Darian and give his Male friend an innocent look.

"Simon I'm tired, I can't right now."

"Please Darian... just this once." Simon bat his eyelashes, and tilt his head a little, as he stares at Darian like a sad puppy.

"Okay, okay... but just this once!"

"Thank you!"

Darian, just smile and walk along his friends side who was busy on his phone.

Unlike Darian who's buff, and stands around 182 cm, Simon is 177 cm and has a more lean body.

Darian, and Simon are childhood friends, both living in the same neighborhood is no surprise they both attended the same schools. But now that are in college, Simon decided to quit swimming and focus more in his studies, while Darian continue to follow his path for swimming.

Arriving at the restaurant, Darian already had anxiety written all over his face. He for sure, didn't want to be here, heck he keep telling himself he would regret it once they arrived. And like he predict, he regrets.

"Don't worry, you don't have to participate any of their activities." Simon gives a slight squeeze to Darian's shoulder, and smiles to give him more reassurances. Feeling like tearing up, he wraps his strong arms around Simon body as he gives him a strong, warm hug.

"You're such an amazing best friend!"

"Huh? So the couple is here too? I knew you were gay Simon," Simon's ear perk, as he hears a familiar voice speak.

Unwrapping themselves from the hug, Simon just blankly stares at the person who spoke.

"Says the one that always brags how handsome, and cool Bruce is," clinging himself onto Darian's arm, Simon's stuck his tongue out at Jace who's busy screaming at him.

Walking into the restaurant, Darian looks at the other males from the corner at his eyes. Bruce was very handsome that was for sure, with such sultry black hair, turquoise eyes, and very sharp and strong face features, and with such a strong, tall figure it was for sure he was the ideal type for every gender.

Spotting the girls from M university, Simon's entire being radiate such happy energy, Darian couldn't help but smile.

Taking their formidable seats in the long table, Simon wasted no time to start a conversation with the girls, while Darian awkwardly stays still, avoiding all eye contact.

"Your earrings are very pretty," Darian innocently compliments the girl who's sitting in front of him.

Surprised to his compliment the girl, reaches for her earrings. "Ah, thank you... I bought them yesterday,"

"Really? They look very pretty on you," smiling sincerely at the girl, the girl returns the smile as a small blush spreads across her cheeks.

"I'm Elaine, but you can call me Ela."

"I'm Darian," shaking hands with each other, both of them quickly  connect, and start a very heart warming conversation, but sadly it was interrupted by the other guests.

"Hello girls!"

"Jace, you finally made it! I was starting to think you were sucking Bruce's dick," Simon spoke as he smugly smiles.

"I'm not you, my dear gay friend."

"Gay, yes. Just not for you." Ignoring an angry Jace, Simon went back to talk to the girls. Feeling like competing with Simon, Jay sits next to his rival and butts into their conversation.

Darian in the other hand, keep his conversation with Elaine, but his eyes were somewhere else. He saw how uninterested Bruce was. The Male didn't waste time to get on his phone.

"Are you Bruce Sanders?"

Looking up, Bruce saw a very pretty girl, with a petite body. But pay no attention to anything flashy about her.

"Yeah,"

"Great! Is it fine, if I sit here?" The girl ask Elaine, with no problem she nodded her head, and the girl beam.

"Oh sorry, I got a phone call," standing up from his seat, Bruce walk out of the room, as he answers his phone.

The group date was going just fine, both Simon, and Jace were competing about who's a heavier drinker, but both of them were just being fools since neither can't hold their drinks for too long. The girls were having fun, and so was Darian. Everyone completely forgot Bruce was still outside talking on his phone.

Feeling a little dizzy, Darian excuses himself from the room, as he goes outside for some fresh air.

"Oh yes, this is more–" stopping on his mid sentence, a tipsy Darian witness Bruce kissing a girl.

"I'll text you," the girl wave a goodbye, and walk towards her car that was park a few feet away.

Turning around, Bruce didn't flinch to find Darian staring at him. Walking past him, Darian just follow him with his eyes as he tries to find a way with words, but he was too shock to recover.

Closing the door behind him, Darian took a deep breath as he let the cool air, caress his warm skin.

"Wait Bruce, I'm not done! I still need to win!"

"What do you mean win?! Both of you are already wasted!" Bruce spoke, as he carry a very drunk Jace.

"C'mon... just one more glass!"

"No."

"Ugh, such a party pooper...!"

Darian watch Bruce struggling with his drunk friend, who was babbling nonsense at this point.

"I can help you!" Darian approach them, but Bruce shakes his head.

"No need, you have a friend already waiting for you."

Darian's body jump in realization. Just when he was about to take another step, Jace stops him by putting a hand on his shoulder, as he squints his eyes.

"Oh, you're totally my type..."

"Ex–" Before he could finish his sentence, Jace leans in to steal a kiss from him.

"Guys get the f–" Simon's eyes widened as he saw Jace kissing Darian. Elaine and the other girls who question why Simon abruptly stop, they all come together to see what was happening.

"You're so my type..." Before Jace could further his actions, Bruce pulls Jacs away from a very flustered Darian.

"Don't forget to call me, bye boo!"

A drunk Simon walk up to Darian as he stares at the Male's who were walking towards a car.

"Yeah... he's totally gay... too bad he's a bottom," Simon spoke as he leans onto Darian's body for support.

"Darian, let's go... I'm too tired..." Simon whine, making Darian cringe at the high pitch of his voice.

"Yeah let's go."
