When Luke moved into my apartment, I wasn’t expecting much beyond the basics: a decent roommate who paid half of the rent on time, maybe someone to split a pizza with on a lazy Friday night.
What I got was... complicated.
Luke was the kind of guy who turned heads without trying. He had this rugged, effortlessly charming vibe—messy dark hair, a jawline that looked like it was carved out of stone, and a laugh that could light up a room. He was also undeniably straight, which I reminded myself every time he wandered into the living room shirtless, scratching his abs and asking if I wanted to order takeout.
“Dude,” I’d said once, tossing a towel at him. “Clothes exist for a reason.”
He’d caught the towel midair, smirking. “What, jealous?”
I’d rolled my eyes. “Please. You’re not my type.”
But the truth was, living with Luke was like living with a human-shaped distraction. And for the first few months, I managed it fine. We had a good dynamic: I stayed out of his way when his latest date came over, and he didn’t ask too many questions about my life. It was simple. It worked.
Until it didn’t.
It started small.
One night, I came home late after work, exhausted and starving. To my surprise, the kitchen table was set up for dinner.
“Uh... did you order in for two?” I asked, dropping my bag by the door.
Luke poked his head out from the kitchen, grinning. “Nope. I cooked.”
I blinked. “You can cooked?”
“Don’t sound so shocked,” he said, walking out with two plates of pasta. “I can be domestic when I want to be.”
As we ate, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was... off. Luke kept looking at me, his usual playful banter replaced with something more measured, like he was trying to read me.
“So,” he said, swirling his fork through his pasta, “why aren’t you dating anyone?”
The question caught me off guard. “Wow, jumping right in there, huh?”
He shrugged. “Just curious. You’re cool, you’re funny, you’re good-looking—what’s the deal?”
I laughed awkwardly, trying to deflect. “Thanks for the pep talk, but I don’t know. I guess I’ve just been busy.”
Luke nodded, but his gaze lingered a little too long. “Well, if you ever need advice, I’ve got you.”
“Right,” I said, smirking. “Because you’re such a relationship expert.”
“Hey,” he said, throwing a breadstick at me. “I’m better than you think.”
Over the next few weeks, things shifted. Luke started hanging out with me more—joining me for my trashy reality TV marathons, asking me to pick his outfits before his dates, and randomly texting me during the day just to “check in.” At first, I thought he was just being friendly. But there was an intensity to his attention that I couldn’t ignore.
It came to a head one night when we were watching TV. Luke was sprawled on the couch beside me, closer than usual, his arm draped casually over the backrest. He legs spread apart, wearing just his boxer. I could see the outline of his penis which surprisingly looked almost fully hard.
“Do you think I’m attractive?” he asked suddenly, his tone light but his eyes serious.
I nearly choked on my soda. “Excuse me?” Try not let let him see that I had noticed his growing member between his legs
He turned to face me fully, a small smile playing on his lips. “You heard me. Do you think I’m hot?”
I stared at him, trying not to glance down at his now fully erect penis while also trying to figure out if this was some kind of joke. “I mean... sure. Objectively, yes. You’re attractive. Happy?”
His smirk widened. “Very.”
The tension between us grew after that. Luke became bolder, testing boundaries in ways that left me equal parts flustered and frustrated. He’d linger in my room under the pretense of asking about work, or brush against me in the kitchen just a little too often. Some moments were just plain awkward—like the time I walked into the bathroom after my shower, only to find Luke standing there, shirtless, with a towel slung low on his hips.
“Uh, I didn’t realize you were…” I trailed off, trying to avoid looking directly at him.
He grinned, completely unbothered. “Relax, man. Nothing you haven’t seen before.” As his towel dropped to the floor. Revealing his oversized fully erect penis. "Oh I forgot to throw out the trash I need to get dressed" as he dashed to his room, his dick flopping around wildly as he ran past me and down the hall to his room.
I grabbed my toothbrush to brush my teeth. I couldn't stop thinking about what I had just seen. The image of his fully naked body aroused me to the point where I now had a hardon. So I locked the door and took off my pants to relieve some tension. I cupped my balls with my right hand while I furiously jerked with my left. Imagining him still in the room watching me. Trying to picture him doing the same to himself got me so excited I suddenly came in the sink and up on the mirror.
Then there was the time he decided to crash my yoga session. I was halfway through a downward dog when he plopped down on the mat next to me.
“Do you mind?” I asked, trying not to lose my balance.
“Not at all,” he said, smirking as he attempted a shaky warrior pose. “This is harder than it looks.” “Yeah, well, it’s not a spectator sport,” I shot back.
“Don’t worry,” he said with a wink. “I’m here for the workout, not the view.” As he proceeded to pretend to know what he was doing, part of his body popped out of his shorts. "Oh, I guess that I'm still a bit turned on by the porn I had just been watching earlier."
Things hit a breaking point a few weeks later.
I was in my room, scrolling through my phone, when Luke knocked on the door and poked his head in.
Hey, can we talk?”
“Uh, sure,” I said, sitting up.
He walked in, closing the door behind him. There was something different about his demeanor—nervous, almost.
“Look,” he began, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’ve been thinking a lot lately. About us.”
I frowned. “Us?”
“Yeah,” he said, sitting on the edge of my bed. “I don’t know what it is, but... I feel like there’s something between us. And I can’t stop thinking about it.”
My stomach flipped. “Luke, you’re straight.”
He shrugged. “I thought I was. But now I’m not so sure.”
I stared at him, trying to process what he was saying. “Luke, this is... a lot. I mean, you’re my roommate. And my friend. I don’t even know how to respond to this.”
“I’m not trying to freak you out,” he said quickly. “I just... I needed to say it. I needed you to know.”
There was a long silence before I finally spoke. “Look, I appreciate you being honest with me. But I think you need to figure this out on your own. I can’t be the one to help you with this.”
Luke nodded, his expression pained. “I get it. I don’t want to make you uncomfortable. I just... I don’t want to lose you, Chris.”
“You’re not going to lose me,” I said softly. “But we need boundaries. For both our sakes.”
Over the next few weeks, Luke backed off, giving me the space I’d asked for. It wasn’t easy—there were moments when I caught him watching me, his expression unreadable, and I’d feel that same knot in my stomach.
But slowly, things started to settle. Luke began exploring his feelings more openly, talking to me about them when he felt ready. And while it was messy and complicated, it was also honest.
In the end, we found a new balance—a friendship built on trust and understanding. And while part of me would always wonder what could have been, I knew we were exactly where we needed to be.
For now.
