Virgin Summer: How to Give Your Friend a Heartattack

Virgin Summer: How to Give Your Friend a Heart Attack!

My name is Heero Yuy and I´m a completely normal 16-years-old. I live with my father and my twin brother who was born 26 minutes earlier than me and thus was bestowed with the dubious privilege of inheriting our father´s name - Odin (I once asked my father where his parents got this name from and he admitted that his mother - my grandmother - a high school teacher, had a weird fetish for Nordic gods. That´s probably the reason why our uncle answers to the name Loki, eh?). I go to the high school in our little coastal town, I do sports and am quite obsessed with computers. So, you see - a rather normal guy.

And I have lots of friends, too - you know, being a baseball star and stuff (not that I´m trying to show off or anything, simply stating the facts here) - but that´s beside the point. The reason why I´m talking to you here is because of my best friend. One, Duo Maxwell.

You see, I have known Duo for... well, forever. I must admit I don´t remember not knowing him. He lives with his parents in the house next to ours. His brother started to study at university last year. He wants to be... uh, I´m not sure what he wants to be right now. Three years ago, it was his dream to be a doctor. Two years ago, he wanted to be some sort of engineer. But I think he will end up being a lawyer, just like his father.

But Duo´s family is not what is important here. I wanted to talk about Duo. As I said, we have been friends forever. He is closer to me than my own flesh and blood. I can talk to him about anything. Even about sex and stuff like that.

And that´s were things get rather complicated. You see, I´m heterosexual through and through. But Duo is not. Heterosexual, I mean. He is gay and proud of it. How do I know? Well, he told me. On his 12th birthday. We were sitting in the garden, it was getting dark and suddenly he looked at me through his bangs and said: "I´m gay."

I remember blinking once, then turning to him. He had this vulnerable expression on his face but the reason escaped me. So, I looked at him and said: "Okay." And that was it. I mean, so what? He is gay, I´m not. He looked quite shocked at my answer, then incredibly pleased. ‘Til this day, I don´t understand what his problem was. Boggles the mind.

Now, as I said, my best friend is gay. My girlfriends find it really "cool". I started to date, you see? At first not, though. It was only me and Duo, doing the best-friends-things. And the world was perfect. Then I started to date and Duo remained single. Everything was still perfect. Then I began to have sex, but Duo stayed virgin, waiting for Mr Right. Which was more than perfect since I can´t imagine him with anybody. Not dating, not holding hands nor kissing and especially - for heaven´s sake - NOT having SEX! See me shudder here. Why? Well, he´s mine... err, my best friend, right? I don´t want to share him with anybody. Don´t ask me why since there is no logical answer to it. I´m a selfish teenager. ´Nough said.

So, I´m dating, having sex, doing lotsa cool things with my virginal gay best friend and the world is the coolest place to live. Right? Wrong! Actually, I would agree with the 'right' thing... but only until this summer and the last day of school. That was when Duo almost gave me a heart attack.

"I decided to lose my virginity this summer!"

I started to choke as my cola went down the wrong way. Duo, who had been until then lying on the grass next to me, sat up and pounded me on the back.

"Better?" he asked when I finally managed take a wheezing breath.

"Yeah," I rasped, then turned to him fully. "Did you say what I think you said?"

Duo nodded happily, closed his eyes and lifted his freckled nose in the sun. "Yep. I´m going to lose my virginity this summer. I’ve made up my mind and nothing is going to change it!"

I blinked at him stupidly. "And what about Mr Right?"

Duo looked at me, his long braid swinging from side to side as he bounced excitedly in the place. "That´s where you fit in my plan."

I lifted my eyebrows. "Come again?"

My best friend took my hands in his, his violet eyes twinkling merrily. "You´re going to help me find the man of my dreams!"

*-*-*-*-*

So, my virginal gay best friend, asked me, a not-so-virginal, heterosexual guy, to help him find Mr Right who he will then invite to his bed and let the man take his virginity. And with my blessing!

You see, that´s how the longest summer in my life began...!
