Alex looked in wonder at the university campus, like he had never seen something like this before. which in all honesty was kind of true. The freshly 18-year-old had spent almost all his life in his small town and this was the first time he had traveled outside of it.
trying to hide his excitement Alex continued to move toward the campus and into the large building that housed the students. The space was airy and bright and the woman who gave him the key was more than pretty, which he didn't fail to notice, and to his surprise, his roommate was already there.
with a hair a shade darker that Alex's blonde locks and a bright smile, the other man put him at ease at once.
"Hi I am Jace" he introduced himself and Alex did the same.
"Nice to meet you," he said and the two boys began to talk about their lives and their interests.
"Wow, you are a swimmer too?!" Jace said excitedly.
Alex scratched the back of his head shyly "Yeah but nothing special just a few competitions in my hometown town" he loved swimming but sometimes his teammates would go a bit wild for his tastes.
"You should join the team then!" the darker blonde told him "They told me they have meetings three times a week and we can use the uni pool anytime we want"
That did sound fun Alex thought "Why not?" he found himself saying "What can go wrong?"
Three weeks later Alex found himself quite happy. His classes were great and the university offered many activities to keep him busy. the swim team is but one of them, though he had to admit it was his favourite. his teammates were far more mature than the ones in his hometown or so he thought.
it was on his third week that he was ganged up and found himself strung up on one of the showers with thick ropes that made it impossible for him to break.
"What gives guys!" he screamed in frustration while the others had sardonic grins on their faces.
"Just a little initiation ritual," said Edward, the team leader, "We all went through it, man. You will just have to escape or wait for us to come to you the next day the choice is yours" Edward said as he followed the rest of the team outside, joining in the roaring laughter.
Alex struggled for a bit and then stopped the ropes were too tight. then he considered his situation. he was dressed in nothing but a Speedo and even though the showers were warm and September still had some of summer's temperature he shivered. This was not what he wanted to do that night.
"They got you too hm? I thought they were lying" said a familiar voice and Alex saw Jace standing at the shower entrance.
"Jace thank goodness you are here," Alex said in relief "Let me out quickly"
Jace gave him a smile that made him feel uneasy "Hmm why should I? I mean I went through it wouldn't be fair for you to go through it as well?"
"Come on this is just some silly game" he tried to protest but Jace didn't seem to hear him.
"You know I made a friend recently"
"Hmm?" Alex said confusedly.
"his name was Paul and he said he knew you and told me something interesting about you"
Alex drew a sharp breath, If Jace met Paul... he didn't even want to think about it.
"He said you were crazy ticklish," he said it, and Alex felt like he was handed a death sentence.
"he said that the team had great fun tickling you back home is that true?" he asked in a voice so sweet one might think he drank honey to achieve it but Alex understood that Jace was playing with him.
