Unrequited

Intro

Calvin was ecstatic to see Harry. Calvin was still deeply in love with Harry, he loved his sparkling blue eyes and cute smile. Harry and him had played football together in high school and college. Calvin remembers how his eyes would wander in the showers. Harry's muscular body covered in sweat and dirt. Calvin always had to hurry so the others guys wouldn't see the excitement in his towel. The thought of Harry's body put Calvin into a daydream. A horn blared at him causing him to come to and swerve so the car in the other lane wouldn't hit him. "Snap out of it Cal," he said to himself aloud, "don't reach for what you can't have."

Harry was in his shop when Calvin arrived, only in jeans and work boots. Harry was covered in oil and sweat, his muscles glistening in the evening light. As soon as Calvin saw him he had to cover his lap so Harry wouldn't see.

"How are you little Cal?" Harry loved to tease Calvin about being small.

"I'm fine." Calvin said shyly.

"Aw come on, don't be shy with your bro." Harry tried reassuring him.

"What are you working on?" Calvin changed the subject, still covering his lap.

Harry showed him the car he'd been fixing before his arrival. They talked about cars, sports, girls, and everything in between. Harry confessed he hasn't been seeing anyone at all lately. Calvin owned up to saving himself for someone special. They grilled steaks and watched the local college football game. Calvin watched his friend cheer and laugh, Harry's laugh was the best sound to Calvin. He wished his lips could land on that perfect smile.
