[WEDDING EVE]
You have been friends with Kieth since you were little kids. In preschool, the two of you were the rowdiest partners in class. In middle school, you were both joined the same sports clubs and became star players. In college, both of you took the same degrees and became the most sought after guys in the university. You both landed middle management jobs in big corporations. You both got engaged to accomplished beautiful women. Through all those years, you remained as buddies.
A day before Keith's wedding, you both decide to spend his last year as a bachelor together. You played video games in the morning like you used to when you were children. You challenged him to a one-on-one basketball match. In the afternoon, he brings you to the large gym room in his family's house. You always lift weights and work-out together there.
After pumping iron, Keith takes his shirt off, stands up and walks to the window silently. He stares at the sunset, his face looking deep, contemplative and almost sad. This is the first time you have ever seen him so serious. You stand beside him and face the sinking sun. It does look a bit depressing.
You look at your friend beside you: a handsome, successful young man. His body is covered with large, hard muscles, ripped and ripe. He has always been strong, virile and aggressive, whether it was studies, sports, girls or work. But today, he looked so vulnerable.
"What are you thinking about Keith?" you ask, breaking the silence.
He sighs, "I don't know man. I'm getting married tomorrow. I'm just thinking there's one thing that I would have wanted to do as a single man that I never got the chance to do."
You look at him, intrigued, "yeah? What's that?"
He turns to you and stares into your eyes with tenderness and hunger. He presses your shoulders with his hands and kiss you.
You flinch in shock as your macho best friend sucks the air out of your lungs. But in no time, you start responding. Your tongue swirls around with his. Your naked chests touch. You find yourselves in a warm embrace.
Tonight is going to be a long night for best friends.
