The Bad Boy's Dirty Little Secret BL Chapter 16: Experiments

Kai’s P.O.V

“Devon…do you have a minute?” I asked my friend who was just coming out of the boxing ring after demolishing a punching bag twice his weight.

“Yeah, sure!” He wrapped a towel around his neck before taking off his boxing gloves and pointing towards the locker room. “Just gimme five? I’ll go take a quick shower.”

“Sure. I’ll wait here.” I moved to the opposite side of the boxing club room from where some of the members were still practicing their moves.

The female boxing group had a separate room right next to the guy’s club, and from what I had heard…Night’s group sometimes came to hang around the area since their friend’s girl had recently joined their club. That’s why I was thankful for the separate rooms…so I didn’t have to run into him today.

As promised, Devon came out of the locker exactly five minutes later, wearing a white hoodie with two red stripes down the middle and red track pants. His short black hair was still wet from his shower and he still made every guy in the room stop to take a second glance.

“Okay, done.” He ran a hand through his hair to straighten it out as much as possible. “What did you want to talk about?”

“Can we go somewhere private instead?” I glanced around a bit awkwardly. I didn’t want to talk to him about my private life where anyone could hear me and spread false rumors…especially when I wasn’t sure about it myself.

“Hold on a second…” Devon smirked down at me. “You’re not gonna…confess to me, are you?”

“Confess my ass!” I snapped at the sappy bastard as he threw back his head laughing. “Let’s get going. I don’t have all day.”

Honestly, I was more than a little nervous telling Devon about my private affairs. It was only this morning that I had learned from Cole that Devon was bisexual and this was after knowing him for over four years.

“Devon? Our Devon?” I asked Cole incredulously. “You’ve got to be kidding me!”

“There’s a lot we don’t know about our friends, I guess.” Cole had sighed. “But I caught him with a guy once by accident back in senior year. He was kissing him in the janitor’s closet where I usually took my hookups and they’d forgotten to lock the door.”

“So…how did he react?” I asked out of curiosity.

“Well, the other guy just ran for his life and he was hiding his face so I never got to know who it was.” Cole shrugged. “But Devon just smirked and left the closet to make room for me. Sad to say, the shock of it had been like a bucket of cold water being thrown over my genitals. I didn’t get any action-”

“Eww! Cole! Not what I wanted to know!”

“Fine.” He just smirked at me before continuing. “But I did ask him later on if he was gay in secret or not and he told me that he was bi and he could be with both men and women. He didn’t care about the gender of the person he was dating.”

“So you think that’s why he’d be able to help me?” I asked with a frown. “Because he does both ways?”

“No you fucking idiot!” Cole said deadpan. “Because he can help you understand what exactly you need to understand about yourself and whatever is going on between you and Night.”

So here we were, sitting at the bleachers of the soccer field, watching the soccer scholarship students practice on a mostly empty field. There were a few girls cheering for the shirtless guys on the field but they were so far away that I didn’t think anything we said would reach them even if we were to shout.

“So? Tell me,” Devon stretched out his long legs on top of the seat in front of us. “What’s so important that you have me following you around halfway across campus grounds just so we can ‘talk’?”

“I…er…you know Night’s gay right?” Fuck! That’s not what I was supposed to start with!

Devon raised his eyebrows, tilting his head to the side.

Right…I forgot that it had been clear since the day we had known him. Night had never been one to hide his sexual preferences. I think by now, the entire school was aware that he was gay. Then why was I telling him this again?

“Well…” I closed my eyes shut and took in a deep breath before answering him in one go. “I kissed him!”

“So?”

I pried my eyes open to blink several times at Devon’s unbothered expression. “So?”

“So what?” He shrugged, picking up his cold coffee that he had gotten from a girl that was in his fan club, on the way to the field. “Did anything else happen? Did you two sleep with each other or something or are you afraid you’re now infected by the gay-virus?”

“I…” I was speechless. Why was Devon so calm about this? I for one was definitely not!

“Look, even if you did sleep with him, it’s not that bad.” He shrugged once again. “Straight guys can do that too. Sometimes it’s for fun; sometimes it’s environmental influences and sometimes it’s just to experiment and stuff.”

“Experiment?” I raised my eyebrows. “With other guys?” Why have I never heard about this?

“When I was at an all boy’s boarding school till tenth grade, we did that all the time.” He told me nonchalantly. “It’s not like you could sneak girls into campus with such tight security. Often times, it doesn’t mean anything and you shouldn’t overthink it.”

“I shouldn’t overthink it?” Okay, why was I suddenly parroting him?

“That’s what I’d usually say to the noobs.” Devon smirked. “But why does it look like you’re about to shit yourself? What are you worried about? Don’t tell me…you kissed him while he was unconscious?”

“Fuck off! I would never do that!” Especially after what Night had told me about his ex.

“Sorry! Sorry!” Devon laughed at my expression. “It was fun teasing you. That’s all. I was just joking.”

Experiments? Boys fucking other boys for fun? What the fuck was going on? Why had I never heard about any of this before?

Probably because I had always been in a co-ed school with plenty of girls around?

“If it’s still bothering you,” Devon said finally, breaking my train of thought. “You can always check out articles on bisexuality or pansexuality. They’re a thing too, you know. LGBTQ+ doesn’t only stand for lesbian or gay or Trans people. It’s an entire spectrum that holds numerous possibilities.”

Yes, I always knew about the community. I always knew that there were thousands of people out there who were different and unique. However…never in my wildest dreams had I thought that I would one day be considering myself as questioning.

“By the way…did you know that most porn stars that play gay roles are often times straight men as well?”

The fuck?
