Work Text:
Julian didn't even want to attend Mia's stupid hangout. She because of new “diversity and inclusion” initiatives in the school was his across-the-hall neighbor. He hated having to share a dorm floor with a girl, he couldn't believe all the other guys on the floor were seemingly okay with her presence.
Well, they were okay with her body. Julian scrunched up his face, half the guys on the floor were f’ing her and the other half were hoping to f her. She was so provocative in the way she strutted around, how she batted her eyelashes at the boys who talked to her. It was disgusting. Though, his stomach did churn some knowing she held no affection for him. Never a sultry gaze his way. Never lowered the zipper of her hoodie for a better cleavage shot when she spoke to him. It was always casual with Julian.
The ugly one.
Mia had been the coiner of that term. Let's just say he was of the same race as another guy they hung out with… and let's just say the other was affectionately called “Daddy” by everyone, even the boys. Julian wanted to hate the nickname, but he couldn't deny it. He was ugly. He knew it.
With despair already filling him up, he knocked on Mia's door. Laughing and conversation already buzzing inside. She threw the door open with a smile and welcomed Julian in.
Julian found a place by the heater on the floor to sit. He “knew” everyone here, but knew that most of them hated him. They were friends by proxy of friends because of guilt. Julian got busted last semester for having a drinking problem. Even though he was only nineteen. It got all over campus and people had started tolerating him more, out of guilt for the poor kid with no friends. He was used to being the “pity” invite. It was just high school all over again. He was forever the kid you were friends with because, well, look at Julian. He's just so sad.
Julian sipped on his non-alcoholic drink, counting the minutes he'd been there, waiting to leave. Only more people joined the hangout and soon Mia announced a game.
“So, a bunch of dares, truths, and other stuff are in the bowl, we'll draw one for everyone, and you get ONE redraw if you don't like your pick! But then you HAVE to do one of the two things picked for you!”
“Okay” & “let's do it!” Came from her party guests. Julian weakly raised his glass to show he was down to play.
The game was quite boring. A lot of questions were about sex and had the party guests squealing in delight. Other dares were in the vein of, try to break dance, show us your last text. Julian's dare was to send a picture of himself with the text “u up” to a family member. He chose his sister who never responded to him. Then the game hopped to the next party guest. The game was nearly over with only a handful of students left when Mia read out ‘The Question’
“Okay, Noah! Your first pick is…” Mia swirled the paper around in the bowl. Grabbing a piece and pulling it out. “Kiss Julian, the ugly-? What? I didn’t.” Mia scrunched up her brow, “I didn’t put this in here.”
The room erupted with boos as people yelled to pull another dare for Noah. A few laughed maniacally, Mia shot a death glare at someone Julian couldn't see, clearly they were the culprit who had slipped the dare into the bowl at some point. Mia was a part of the hazing, but she never took things so far. She put a stop to the more harmful shit the guy’s on the floor did to Julian when she moved in. She made his bullying go from physical to mostly verbal jabs at him. He could be thankful for that small mercy at least. Mia locked eyes with Julian, remorse written across her face,
“I’m sorry” She mouthed to him.
Julian shrugged his shoulders. It wasn’t her fault. It's;s a laugh at his expense. Nothing new there.
“I’ll - I’ll pull another dare,” Mia said softly reaching back into the bowl.
“No”
The whole room went silent. No one spoke as Noah stood to his feet.
“My dare is to kiss Julian, I’m not afraid of seeming a little gay, I’m taking my first dare.”
Everyone was dumbstruck. Including Julian.
Noah was about 6’2, with dirty blonde hair, beautiful blue eyes, and a body to die for. He was handsome and every girl on campus wanted to get with him. Noah had never participated in Julian’s hazing. He’d never put a stop to it, but much like Mia, he kept the more extreme things from happening on his watch. Julian swallowed at the lump in his throat as Noah turned to face him.
“I’ll do the dare, that is…” Noah dropped to his knees and shuffled towards Julian. The people surrounding Julian quickly crawled away. Noah held strong eye contact with Julian, licking his lips as he got even closer until he rested his hands on Julian’s knees. “If Julian will let me kiss him. Is that alright Julian?”
Julian swallowed hard again. His mind was dazed, was this happening? In the haze he must have nodded his head yes, still thinking there was no way hot Noah was going to kiss him. Even if he did it would be the lightest peck and then a victory roar from the other party guests. From the corner of his eye, Julian saw several phones held up pointing at him, of course, they would film this. The ugly guy on campus gets a hot guy to pity-kiss him because he’s a sad virgin.
“Julian.”
Julian looked up and met Noah's gaze again.
“I don’t think your ugly”
Noah slid between Julian’s legs, placing his hand on the younger guy’s face. Staring into his eyes before closing his own. Noah pressed his lips against Julian’s. The quick peck and separation that Julian had expected didn’t happen. People started cheering expecting Noah to stand up, but he didn’t. Noah held onto Julian’s face, using it as an anchor as he parted his lips against Julian and kissed him. Julians eyes were open when the kiss started but he closed them, out of fear? He didn’t know.
He had been kissed before of course. But this was, well it was more passionate. Noah wasn’t stopping, he kept pressing his lips over Julian's, opening his mouth and sliding his tongue out to lick at the younger guy’s lips.
The room went dead silent again. The only sounds are breathing and lips meeting. No one knew what to do. This isn’t what anyone expected, the kids kept filming the kiss, unsure of what was to come next.
Noah was persistent. He drew his body closer and closer to Julian’s. Their hips pressed tightly together now, Julian swore that Noah was a little bit hard. Their chests were pressed together and Noah was softly moaning against Julian’s lips. Julian started feeling some type of way, he swore maybe he was getting hard too. Which, he couldn't remember the last time he was hard, nothing got him off anymore.
“You kiss really well” Noah murmured against Julians lips, making him blush red. Noah took the opportunity to make Julian gasp at the compliment to slide his tongue into Julian's mouth, tangling their tongues together.
The room was now filled with whispers.
‘whats happening?’
‘he's like, really making out with him’
‘are… is he gay?’
It seemed no one was sure of what to do as the two men tangled tongues against the wall.
Noah slid his hand up into Julian's hair, gripping it softly and manhandling his head to deepen their kiss. Noah was audibly moaning as he ground against Julian's groin and kissed him. But almost as suddenly as the whole affair started, it stopped.
“Thanks for that, Julian” Noah chuckled, placing a kiss on the boy's lips one last time. He shrunk back from Julian's body and stood up. His erection was pretty obvious to everyone who dared cast their gaze down to his pants. Noah winked at Julian, a grin on his face.
“Thanks again for the invite Mia, hope to get together like this again sometime!” Noah threw his arms around Mia and hugged her. She sheepishly hugged him back, “Yeah, no problem, another time man.”
Noah waved goodbye to everyone else in the dorm room before opening the door and disappearing down the hallway.
All eyes wandered to Julian. Hard, legs spread on the floor his face flushed.
What the fuck just happened...
