In Front of the Camera

Prologue

Off and Gun had been friends forever, literally forever. Their parents were neighbours and good friends before they were even born. They grew up together and despite how different they were Off and Gun were inseparable. They were friends through all their firsts. First day at school, first broken bone you name it they were together. When Gun was 13 his beautiful Mom died leaving Gun with just his dad. Things changed after that, mainly because Gun had to move so they were no longer living right next to each other. While they were still bestfriends they didn't see each other as much which sucked. They still spoke or saw each other every day but it wasn't the same as living so close and having sleep overs all the time.

They attended the same high school and Gun was the first one Off told about his sexuality. Being Bi was scary for him but Gun took it all in his stride and just carried on being the amazing best friend he'd always been. Gun never spoke about his sexuality though, Off thought it might be because he was figuring it out. They were only 15 so there was still so long to work those things out. Gun still came and stayed with Off but when ever Off would offer to stay at Gun's place he would refuse, saying he missed Off's Mom and Dad. Off assumed it was because being with his Mom was the closest thing to be being with his own.

When they were in college, Gun's dad remarried and Gun got a baby sister called Pim. He absolutely adored her, keeping his phone full of photos of the chubby faced angel. Gun got on ok enough with his step mom but it felt weird to him to get too close, like he was replacing his own Mom if he did so. But Pim became a massive part of his life he doted on her and even used to bring her to stay with Off when they had their sleep overs. One night while Pim was sleeping between them Off and Gun made plans, they'd always promised to stay together what ever they did and now it was time for university their plans hadn't changed. They both decided to apply for the same university although doing different courses while renting a place together.

The university wasn't that far from home but both men felt like they wanted more freedom. If he was honest Off was going to miss his parents, as an only child they showered him with love and affection. They supported him they finally found out about his sexuality when he was 16 after they found a gay porno magazine in his room and never let him feel anything less than adored. Off had a few short flings with boys and girls but never anything too serious, no one ever felt quite perfect enough for him. He never understood what exactly it was that they lacked he just knew it was missing so never considered then as actual relationship material.

When Off asked Gun how he was feeling about the move he said he was nothing more than excited. Off had asked of he would miss being at home and Gun had replied that he would miss Pim but needed some space for himself to grow. It made Off beam with pride that Gun considered him special enough to live with while he grew, giving him strange butterflies in his stomach he couldn't understand. Off also thought that maybe Gun was finally ready to work out his own sexuality, he wasn't sure why but Off felt like he needed to know. He told himself it was so he could finally help his friend get laid and that was that.

The day they moved in Off's parents had paid for movers to bring their things from home to their new condo. But the duo decided they only wanted the movers to bring the furniture in so they could arrange things the way they wanted. It was hard work and by the time they'd sorted the livingroom and Gun's room they were sweaty and exhausted. Off walked to the kitchen to grab them an ice water from the fridge and realised how dark it was outside. He walked back in to Gun's room with the water with the plan of asking him to share a pizza with him and leave the rest until tomorrow.

When he entered Gun had wet his hair in the bathroom to cool his head and removed his shirt. Water dripped down his face and on to his chest and Off was mesmerised by its movement. Gun always wore baggy clothes even to sleep in and it had been a long time since they'd been topless together. Gun even wore a shirt while swimming so no one ever got to see what was underneath. Now Off had seen and he liked it. Gun had tight muscles along his chest and abs with muscles on his arms that were usually hidden buy the loose sleeves he favoured. Off realised he'd been caught staring when Gun flicked water at him and he jumped.

He tried to hide his embarrassment by teasing Gun. "Damn, you've been holding out on me. A body like that being hidden away is a sin. You'd have people lining up for a taste if they knew what you were hiding..." Gun knew Off was a flirt so he just flipped him off and grabbed a bottle of water from him. "Worried I'll steal some of your potential conquests?" Gun teased back then began gulping down his water. Off watched how Gun's pink pouty lips wrapped around the bottle and how sexy his throat looked when he swallowed. He felt his pants beginning to feel a little tight and knew he needed to escape.

"In your dreams shorty." He said walking out of the room. "Lets get clean and eat. I'm treating you to pizza because I need yo crash in your room tonight. I'm too lazy to fix mine up tonight." He finished, running to his bathroom before Gun could argue or notice the new bulge in his pants. In the shower Off masturbated to thoughts of Gun's plump lips wrapping around his cock. It was the first time he'd had those thoughts about his best friend and decided he was too tired to process what it meant so he just washed away his cum and pretended like it never happened.

That night they ate pizza in front of a cheesy movie on TV, picking apart the plot as they always did. They laughed until their sides hurt and then some more. "I'm so glad I'm getting to live with my best friend." Gun said smiling. "Even if he is a bit of a man hoe..." he finished. He could never be too soppy or nice with Off, that wasn't how their relationship worked. "It's 2020 Gun are you really slut shaming your best friend?" Off asked faking anger. They bickering happily until Gun yawned loudly and they decided to call it a night.

Getting into Gun's bed was strange. They'd always shared Off's bed so Off had forgotten what it was like to be surrounded by Gun's scent. The whole bed felt like being enveloped in Gun's arms and Off sighed happily as he snuggled down into the cover. Gun turned off the light and closed his eyes. "Did you brush your teeth?" Off asked, he was mostly teasing but he also loved taking care of Gun. "What are you my Dad?" Gun said. "I just remembered why I started calling you Papi..." he teased, grinning. "Don't start that again!" Off said but secretly he loved the nickname it made him feel special. "Ok..." Gun said yawning. "Goodnight Papi." He said cheekily. "Good night Gun." Off replied and they both drifted of to sleep.
