Boy Like You

The Story

February 1, 2018

As soon as Nick stepped onto the campus of his new college, he knew he was in for a wild ride. He had always been open about his sexuality, but he had never been in a place where he could truly be himself. That all changed when he met Ralph.

Ralph was a senior, and he was everything Nick had ever wanted in a man. He was tall, stocky built, and had a smile that could light up a room. Nick was immediately drawn to him, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous around him.

Despite his nerves, Nick found himself spending more and more time with Ralph. They would study together, grab lunch in the cafeteria, and even go out to parties on the weekends. Nick loved being around Ralph, and he couldn't help but feel like there was something more between them.

One day, as they were walking back to their dorms after a long day of classes, Ralph turned to Nick and said, "Hey, Nick, do you want to grab lunch together?"

Nick's heart skipped a beat. "Sure, I'd love to," he said, trying to keep his cool.

As they sat down in the cafeteria, Ralph asked, "So, Nick, what do you want to do after college?"

"I'm not sure yet," Nick admitted. "I'm studying music, so maybe I'll become a reggae dancehall singer or a DJ. What about you?"

"I'm planning to move to LA and pursue a career in singing and acting. It's always been my dream," Ralph said with a smile.

"Wow, that's amazing," Nick said, feeling a little envious of Ralph's confidence and ambition.

Over the next few weeks, Nick and Ralph became inseparable. They would sneak away to secluded spots on campus to steal kisses and cuddle, and they would spend hours talking about their lives and their future together. One night, after a particularly wild party, Nick found himself alone with Ralph in his dorm room.

"Nick, can I ask you something?" Ralph said, looking nervous.

"Of course, anything," Nick said, feeling a little nervous himself.

"Do you ever feel like there's something more between us? Like, maybe we could be more than just friends?" Ralph asked, his eyes searching Nick's face.

Nick's heart skipped a beat. "Actually, I was thinking the same thing. I've been attracted to you for a while now, but I didn't want to make things awkward."

"Me too. I'm glad we're on the same page," Ralph said, leaning in to kiss Nick.

It was a soft, gentle kiss, but it was enough to make Nick's heart race. They spent the rest of the night wrapped up in each other's arms, talking and laughing and exploring each other's bodies.

As the end of the semester approached, Nick and Ralph knew that they would have to say goodbye. Ryan was graduating and moving on to bigger and better things, while Alex still had a few years left at the college. But they promised to stay in touch, and they vowed to make their relationship work no matter what.

2 years later, as they stood together at the altar, Nick knew that he had made the right choice. Ralph was his soulmate, his partner, and his best friend. They had been through so much together, and they had come out stronger on the other side.

"Ralph, I can't believe we're getting married today," Nick said, his eyes shining with tears of joy. "I'm so happy to be spending the rest of my life with you."

"Me too, Nick. You're the best thing that ever happened to me. I love you," Ralph said, taking Nick's hand in his.

"I love you too, Ralph. Forever and always," Nick said, feeling like the luckiest man in the world.

The End, bitches.
