My family had barely driven off to go to church. He and I sat on the sofa, both a little surprised about what had just transpired. Me in sweats, him dressed to the nines.
“I just couldn’t believe them. And Sarah, I mean…”
“They’ve been doing this for years. And it’s fine. I have no desire to go to this church or any other.”
Cooper looked down. He seemed distraught.
“It’s not even about that, I think. The idea of even trying to include you seemed so foreign to them. And I’m disappointed in Sarah most of all.”
He looked sad, sadder than I ever was for not joining my family to church.
“I just don’t get it”, he said before sitting back on the sofa. “You’re just the sweetest guy. How are they not accepting you for who you are?”
Our eye contact made me feel a shiver down my back. I didn’t know if his question was rhetorical, but I didn’t know how to answer it anyway. I wanted to say something to break the silence, which was now much too long. As I looked into his eyes, words weren’t forming in my mind. I ended up shrugging and looking down.
Cooper’s hand now rested on my knee. I wanted nothing more than to hold him, kiss him. I remembered how good his naked body looked. My cock started thickening. I felt like I was receiving signals, but I refrained from doing anything.
“You’re definitely the bigger man here. I’m not sure I would have continued showing up.”
I chuckled. I tried to ignore the chemistry in the air and the electricity I felt from his lingering hand. I told Cooper about my friends who organize a Christmas dinner for anyone in their circle who isn’t able to celebrate with their family.
“Have you ever considered going there instead?”, Cooper wanted to know.
“I have, actually. There’s been one Christmas where I had a boyfriend, Max. It was serious enough for me to want him to meet my parents, but I was also scared of what might happen if I brought him here.”
Cooper nodded and squeezed my knee, which shortly got me off track.
“In the end I came here by myself. His family was in France, where he’s from, so he went to the dinner in Chicago.”
“Doesn’t it make you feel sad, that you might never get to introduce your partner to your parents?”
“I still feel like eventually they will come around. Or at least enough to meet someone I love.”
“I hope you’re right.”

“Hey”, I tried. “It’s OK. We have a fun night to ourselves. Want to watch a cheesy Christmas movie?”
He looked up at me and smiled. I wondered if he would still like to watch an online service of some kind instead.
“Yeah. That sounds good, actually.”
Cooper let go of my knee and wanted to stand up when suddenly he looked back at me.
“Did Sarah know Max?”
“Yeah. They met when she visited Chicago one time.”
“Before that Christmas?”
“Yeah, right before. Sarah and I drove up together right after they met.”
Cooper got up.
“And she didn’t do anything? When you left Max behind?”
I didn’t know what to say.
“She had brought him a present?”
He chuckled and shook his head. He walked to the kitchen.
“I need a drink. I’ll make popcorn too. You pick a movie.”
As we watched the movie, I looked over at Cooper. He seemed transfixed as he ate handfuls of popcorn. I realized Christmas in Fennville had been so much less tense than usual because of him. I had enjoyed my time so far.

“Thanks, Cooper”, I said.
He looked at me, confused.
“For what?”
“For sticking up for me. I realized I hadn’t thanked you. It can’t have been easy after you did so well to be liked by my folks.”
He chuckled and looked down.
“You are welcome. I knew I was visiting a conservative household, but I couldn’t let this slide.”
“It means a lot, honestly.”
We had eye contact for a while and for some reason I knew he could feel what I was feeling in that moment. Cooper then looked away and got up, picking up the empty glasses and the bowl.
“I guess it’s about time for bed. I’d be better off facing them tomorrow morning anyway.”
I remembered my decision to sleep on the air mattress. I regretted making it. But I guessed I could still offer.
“Hey. Cooper”, I said before he walked off to the kitchen.
He turned to look at me.
“Would you prefer if I slept on the air mattress? I got a pretty strong back.”

“What? Why?”
“Just… After that sex dream, I thought…”
“Luke…”, he interrupted.
He sat back down and put the glasses and bowl he was holding back on the coffee table.
“I’m sorry if that freaked you out. I understand. But then at least let me sleep on the air mattress if I’m the one making you uncomfortable.”
“I’m not uncomfortable. I thought you were uncomfortable.”
Now Cooper cracked a smile.
“Actually, I kind of liked it.”
I laughed.
“I know, it’s wrong, but… Deep down I always kind of wondered what it would be like, you know? To be with a guy? And the more I get to know you, the more you seem like the ultimate guy to try that with.”
Now I was confused.
“Are you…?”
“This isn’t a proposition, no. I’m sorry, I should have clarified.”
“Oh. OK.”
“Just saying that if we had met in different circumstances, I probably would have been up for it. If I wasn’t dating your sister. But that doesn’t need to make it awkward, right? I mean, it’s only a dream scenario for me. Nothing to worry about.”

“Well, all right”, I said. “As long as we can both feel comfortable sleeping in that bed together.”
“I actually really like sharing that bed with a friend. I do it back home after a night out every now and then as well.”
I smiled.
“Cool. Just sharing a bed. As friends.”
Cooper high fived me, got up, and took the empty glasses and the bowl to the kitchen. Minutes later we were getting ready for bed. I was all tucked in when Cooper entered the room, distracted by his phone.
“Sarah has been texting me from church. I am too tired to deal with it now.”
“Just tell her you’ll talk it out tomorrow.”
He put the phone away.
“I told her we’re off to bed so they won’t disturb us.”
That line sounded a little weird, but he probably meant so we wouldn’t be woken up by her knocking on our door. Or opening it and finding us in bed together. It was still a secret that Cooper hadn’t been sleeping on the air mattress.
“Good night”, I said cheerfully.
He laid his head back on the pillow. I knew he would be out cold in a matter of seconds.
“Good night”, he replied. “It’s Christmas tomorrow.”
“Yeah”, I smiled. “Merry Christmas.”
Softly, Cooper mumbled back.
“Merry Christmas.”
And he did indeed drift off to sleep quickly. I smiled. I laid back. I was happy to have met Cooper. If only we could hang out after Christmas. But he lived in LA and I lived in Chicago. But I knew we would stay in touch.
I was still awake when I heard the car pull into the driveway. Cooper was snoring beside me. I heard my family entering the house and making their way to their rooms. I was relieved when there was no knocking on our door, let alone opening. Cooper slept through all of it.

“Cooper?”, I whispered.
There was no response.
“Cooper?”
“Yeah… Luke…”
“What are you doing?”
“Feeling good.”
By his slow mumbling I could tell he was not awake and sleep-talking. I didn’t know what to do. I took the covers and raised them. Cooper’s bare ass grinding against the mattress was a hot view. I realized his briefs were around his thighs.
I had now gotten rock-hard. I just watched for a little while until the humping stopped. By his breathing I could tell Luke had fallen into a deeper sleep. Unmoving, he laid like this for a while.
I watched him sleep. I knew I wasn’t going to fall back asleep for some time. Cooper was so active in his sleep. Every night that he’d spent right here next to me, something had happened. And I guessed because he wasn’t getting off, his nocturnal activity was very sexual. It was his outlet.

Now I was wide awake. I decided to just let it happen as I tried to relax. I kissed Cooper’s head as it was right by my face. I caressed his arm with my free hand. It felt so intimate, so sexy. I was very horny.
I must have been tired as I managed to forget about Cooper being my sister’s boyfriend and I just enjoyed the intimacy. I snuggled right back and let my head rest against his. I could feel myself falling back asleep.
“Hmm… yeah. I love it like that.”
I woke up. Cooper was still in the same position. It was still dark out. He was sleep-talking. I could feel his warm cock against my thigh. Cooper’s hand had travelled down my body and was now wrapped around my boner.
“Fuck yeah”, he mumbled.
He was now humping me in that same slow rhythm he had humped the bed earlier. I kind of froze in place. Until it happened. Until he said the words.

It was clearer than anything else he had said in his sleep until then. And to be honest, I had reached a point where I had to do something.
Carefully, I turned Cooper on his back. I kissed his chest and his arms went up over his head in pleasure.
“Oh yeah”, he moaned.
I made my way down his stomach and then sucked his cock.
Cooper’s gasping and moaning were a turn-on. I couldn’t be sure if he was fully awake, but at this point I didn’t really care.
His cock was stiff as a board and oozed precum. It wasn’t the biggest cock, but it was a beautiful size. I sat up on my knees and jerked our cocks together. It always feels so good to do that. I spat on them and got my cock nice and wet. I reached for the condoms and lube in the drawer on my night-stand. I prepared everything as well as I could, keeping in mind this would likely be Cooper’s first time.
Once I had stopped touching his cock to apply lube and put on the condom, Cooper had fallen back asleep. He snored slightly. His cock twitched a few times.

“Ohhh fuck”, he mumbled.
When I was nearly all the way inside of him, Cooper suddenly lifted his head and grabbed my arm tightly.
“What? What’s happ-“
I felt caught. I had been doing something I wasn’t supposed to do. But before Cooper could finish his question, his head fell back and he moaned in pleasure.
“Don’t stop, don’t stop!”
With Cooper definitely awake, I started to fuck him.
“Oh my God, you’re so big!”
He was doing so well for his first time.
He looked back at me. He reached for the back of my neck, desperate to kiss me.
“Fuck me, Luke”, he said, likely unaware he had said it before.
So I did. I fucked Cooper. I fucked him good. He came after a few minutes. I kissed him as his whole body shook from post-orgasmic pleasure. I then came inside of him when our faces were close together, and we looked straight into each other’s eyes.
Without speaking, we both knew something. This felt right.

Cooper had only just broken up with Sarah. He told me Sarah had apologized to him and explained that she had felt torn between her love for me and her desperation to have our mother’s approval. Cooper said he understood, but he had made up his mind.
Sarah had also apologized to me and decided she would no longer go to that church. Mom had said she understood how it must have felt to be excluded from this annual tradition. But she explained how much it meant to her to go to this church and see those people. So I knew she wasn’t giving it up. Dad had said nothing.
It had been an odd Christmas morning. Cooper had been upstairs packing his bags while we had breakfast and opened gifts. I had felt sad that he was leaving. I told Sarah that I would drive him to the airport so she could have the rental car here. She had thanked me.
I had walked upstairs to find Cooper packed. He had sat on the bed and smiled at me.
“Kiss me”, he’d said.
I had obliged.
“Let’s go to that dinner in Chicago.”
I had smiled. It had suddenly seemed like the best idea. I’d said goodbye to my confused family and got in the car with Cooper.
And now, here he was next to me in the passenger’s seat. Cooper. I knew I would spend many more Christmases with him.
