The Asexual British Boi

Chapter One: The Bar

- Gavin POV -

"Another rum and coke please." I asked the bartender.

"Sure thing." He said. I looked around as he made me made my drink. There weren't too many people here but there was still a crowd. Michael, Lindsay, Geoff and Griffon stood together across the room trying to talk to each other over all the noise. Michael was looking through the crowd like we was looking for someone important.

"Here you go man." Said the bartender as he put my drink down.

"Thanks, and you can put it on the Ramsey tab, he won't mind." I assured him.

"You sure about that?" He asked suspiciously.

"Yeah, absolutely." I said walking away from the bar. I walked back over to my little group of friends and nudged Geoff's side with my elbow.

"Hey thanks for the drink Geoff." I said.

"The drink?" He questioned "I didn't buy you a- you motherfucker." He said suddenly realizing what I had done, yet again. I turned around and gave the bartender a thumbs up. He looked at Geoff for a some form of approval and Geoff just put up his hand and waived very annoyed to the bartender telling him it was alright.

"Michael boi are you okay?" I asked. He was still looking around the bar for someone but I didn't know who.

"Yeah Gavin I'm fine, just scouting." He replied with a grin. Feeling like an idiot I realized what he was doing. I should have known he would try this again.

"Michael pleeeease not again." I begged. "You know what happened last time."

"Hey it's not my fault. I didn't know her ex would show up or that you had too much to drink." He said defending himself.

Michael has this thing where he likes to try and set Gavin up with girls for a one night stand and he doesn't care if they work together after that. In Michaels mind this is what's right for his best friend. In his eyes Gavin should have some fun with girls while he's still single but there's one crucial thing no one knows: Gavin Free is asexual. He has been all his life. Dating girls and really liking them has been a challenge because it's great before things fell apart because they feel like he wasn't being a good boyfriend and "fulfilling their needs".

One night Gavin had had enough. He had a few drinks too many with Michael and Michael did his thing and found a very drunk and lonely girl sitting at the bar. Gavin said the night was a blur but Michael had the story. They were talking and having a good time but when he looked away for a second to call a taxi, he said that he looked back and Gavin and the girl were hardcore, sloppy tongue making out. Michael felt happy with himself for getting his boi some action but that happy feeling was over very quickly.

Some big dude in a leather jacket walked right up to the pair and pulled their heads apart. "What do you think you're doing with my girl?!" He yelled at Gavin. The girl started crying and tried to push him away. She yelled that it was nothing and that they weren't even together anymore and he needed to move on. Gavin stood there for a second with his mouth open, lips shiny from the tongue action, and then suddenly closing it and his eyes opening very wide. He darted from the scene into the bathroom with Michael running in after him.

I still remember little bits from that night. The anger of being fed up with Michael and his stupid plans, the burning sensation of alcohol in my stomach, the gross feeling of her tongue inside my mouth and her hand on my crotch, the vomit and the wicked punch on the side of my head I got. It definitely confirmed that I'm ace, not that I've ever doubted it, and I definitely want no part of that again.
