Chapter 3: The First Goon
The thick haze of weed smoke hung in the living room air, clinging to the worn fabric of the couch and mingling with the greasy aroma of their treat night pepperoni pizza. On the massive flat-screen, pixelated bodies moved in a frantic, graceless rhythm, the exaggerated moans tinny through the speakers. Cliff, sprawled deep in the cushions, wore only faded blue boxer shorts. His eyes were bloodshot slits, a lazy grin plastered on his face. His cock, thick and unmistakable, strained against the thin cotton, tenting the fabric obscenely. "Man," he slurred, chuckling and pointing a slightly uncoordinated finger at the screen. "Look at that guy. Thinks he's fuckin'... Michelangelo sculptin' David... with his dick. Use your mouth on her pussy for fuck's sake!" He snorted, the laugh turning into a coughing fit. "Makes me miss Joy though...".
Scott, perched on the edge of the couch cushion beside him, his cock and balls hanging heavy in his short, cut-off baggy sweatpants, felt the heat radiating from Cliff’s bare thigh pressed against his own. The potent weed buzzed behind his eyes, amplifying every sensation: the rough texture of the couch under his palms, the thumping bass from the porn soundtrack vibrating in his chest, the sheer, overwhelming presence of Cliff beside him. He’d stopped wearing shirts around the house days ago, his soft torso and belly exposed, skin occasionally still prickling with awareness. He laughed, too loud, too sharp, echoing Cliff’s amusement but fuelled by something else entirely – a raw, electric current crackling between them. His gaze kept snagging on the prominent bulge in Cliff’s underwear, then darting away, only to be pulled back.
"Yeah," Scott breathed, his own voice thick and slow. "Total... artist." He shifted slightly, his own erection hanging more down than forward inside his shorts. "She'll be back in two days, you horny fuck". As Cliff doubled up laughing, the image on screen blurred, replaced in his mind by flashes: Joy’s slick heat against his mouth, the taste of Cliff thick seed on his tongue, Cliff’s relaxed, half-naked form moving through the house, oblivious. He missed Joy too. But this connection right here felt visceral, undeniable. He’d been drinking Cliff through Joy for nights, but now… Cliff was right here. Warm. Solid. Smelling of weed and sweat and something fundamentally him.
Cliff took another long drag from the half-smoked joint pinched between his fingers, the ember glowing fiercely. He exhaled a plume of smoke towards the ceiling. "Remember that time," he mumbled, eyes still glued to the screen where a woman was shrieking theatrically, "your mom caught us watchin' that Bruce Lee marathon? Thought she was gonna toss the damn TV out the window." He chuckled again, the sound warm and nostalgic, tinged with the ever-present grief Scott knew lay beneath Cliff’s newfound, weed-fueled levity.
Scott’s smile faltered for a fraction of a second. His mother’s face, smiling from the depths of his memory, flashed unwanted. The guilt was a cold splash, quickly drowned by the heat pooling low in his belly, by the press of Cliff’s thigh. "Why did she go nuts? She hated Bruce Lee?" Scott asked, forcing his voice light, leaning infinitesimally closer. His bare shoulder brushed Cliff’s arm.
"Nah," Cliff sighed, waving the joint vaguely. "Hated us bein' lazy bums on a Saturday." He turned his head slightly, his bleary eyes focusing on Scott with surprising intensity. "You okay, kid? Seem wired. More than usual. If you need to go and take care of anything..." His gaze drifted down Scott’s torso, lingering for a beat on his naked chest and the now obvious tent in Scott's shorts before snapping back up, a flicker of something unreadable – confusion? Awareness? – crossing his face before dissolving back into stoned placidity.
The question, the momentary focus, was like gasoline on the fire inside Scott. The taste of Cliff in Joy’s pussy, the nights of secret consumption, the raw physicality of Cliff beside him now… it coalesced into a reckless, dizzying impulse. The porn moans faded into white noise. Scott’s heart hammered against his ribs. He met Cliff’s gaze, his own eyes wide, pupils dilated. His voice, when it came, was lower, rougher than he intended, slurred by weed and desire.
"Wanna see how I do it?"
Cliff blinked slowly. "Do… what?" He took another drag and passed it to Scott, the smoke curling from his nostrils, his lips starting to smirk.
Scott didn’t answer with words. He stood up, took a long drag on the joint and passed it back, standing facing Cliff. His fingers, trembling only slightly, found the knot at his waist. The whisper as it was pulled loose felt correct in the silence, the porn having cut to black as the next one was starting up. He hooked his thumbs into the waistband of his shorts pushed them down just enough over his hips as he exhaled the smoke. His cock sprang free, fully hard, flushed and straining upwards against the fabric of his t-shirt bunched at his waist.
Cliff froze. The joint hung forgotten between his fingers, a thin trail of smoke rising. His bloodshot eyes widened, locked onto Scott’s erection. His mouth opened slightly, then closed. He didn’t move away. He didn’t yell. He just stared, mesmerized, his own bulge twitching visibly beneath the thin cotton of his boxers. The air crackled. The scent of weed, pizza, and male arousal thickened.
Scott’s breath quickened. He wrapped his fingers around his own shaft, the touch sending a jolt through him. He began to stroke, slow and deliberate, his eyes never leaving Cliff’s face. Up. Down. The slick sound of his precum coating his shaft seemed deafening. He watched Cliff’s adam’s apple bob as he swallowed hard. Saw the way Cliff’s knuckles whitened where he gripped the couch cushion. Saw the undeniable, answering swell beneath Cliff’s boxers grow even more pronounced.
"Yeah?" Scott whispered, his voice thick. His thumb swiped over the leaking head, spreading the wetness. "Like watchin'?"
Cliff didn’t speak. He nodded, a jerky, almost imperceptible movement. His gaze remained fixed, hungry and confused, tracing the path of Scott’s hand with his eyes. He shifted his weight slightly on the couch, pushing his hips forward. A low, involuntary groan rumbled in his chest.
Scott increased his pace slightly, his breathing becoming ragged. He leaned forward, just a fraction, invading Cliff’s space. "Your turn," he murmured, his voice almost cold with the command. He knelt down, his free hand drifted towards Cliff’s thigh, fingers hovering inches from the strained hem of Cliff’s boxers. "Show me how you do it."
Cliff’s breath caught. He looked down at Scott’s approaching hand, then back at Scott’s face, then at his own lap. Conflict warred in his bleary eyes – shock, a dawning understanding, and something darker, hotter, responding to the blatant invitation, to the sight of Scott pleasuring himself right in front of him. His hand twitched towards his own waistband. But he stopped and asked, "And can you teach me how to do... that thing you do?" Scott looked confused. "Gooning?"
Scott’s hand froze mid-stroke. Mortification, cold and absolute, washed over him, erasing the stoned haze. "Gooning?" he choked out, voice strangled. "You know that word?" His cock, moments ago throbbing with need, felt suddenly alien, exposed. How could Cliff know? The private, shameful rituals Scott thought were silent, contained within his four walls?
Cliff’s gaze remained locked on Scott’s erection, his own bulge twitching in response. A slow, lazy smirk spread across his face, tinged with something knowing, almost predatory. "Walls in this old place are paper thin, kid," he murmured, his voice a low rumble thick with weed and arousal. "I did a sneaky bit of googling..." He finally dragged his eyes up to meet Scott’s panicked stare. "Hear you most nights. Those... sounds you make. That wet... slurping." He swallowed, his Adam's apple bobbing. "Fuck, Scott. Drives me crazy." He shifted, palming his own hard length through his boxers with a rough groan. "Why d'you think I'm always so goddamn horny? It's like the combination of getting my shit together and being around a hyper horned young man has completely rewired me. I was never like this before. And I am not complaining! And with Joy? That's the first time I have EVER fucked like that. And I know you are in there making all sorta noises and it sounds SO hot. But I thought if I did it, you would hear me, that would freak you out and maybe make things worse. Then I was chatting to Joy and we thought that getting some real sex happening up in here would help. As far as I can tell there's no sex actually happening with you. And, I dunno, my horned brain thought it might help and here we are in this... situation. Sorry. Stoner brain vomit."
Cliff paused. The admission hit Scott like a physical blow. Every muffled groan, every choked gasp, every desperate mantra whispered into his pillow – Cliff had heard it all. His instant physical reactions of anger and fear and shame were dissolved with his awareness that Cliff wasn't judging him. He wasn't wrong. He wasn't bad or disgusting. His hand, almost of its own volition, resumed its slow stroke. "You... you listen?" The question was barely a whisper.
"Every fucking time," Cliff breathed, his eyes burning into Scott’s. He didn’t look away, not even to glance down at Scott’s moving hand. "So... teach me. Show me what you do. That gooning shit. Make the noises." It wasn't a request. It was a raw need, laid bare.
Scott hesitated for only a second. The power shifted, crackling between them. He took a shaky breath, his own fear mingling with a dizzying rush of control. "Okay," he rasped, taking a large, final hit from the joint, passing enough to Cliff to take his own final pull. His eyes never left Cliff’s. "Okay. But just watch. Don’t touch. Not each other. Just... watch." He emphasized the last word, leaning back slightly against the couch cushions, spreading his legs wider. His hand tightened on his cock, a deliberate, possessive grip.
He started slow, focusing on the sensation, letting the pleasure build visibly on his face. A low hum started in his throat, vibrating deep. "Yeah," he murmured, the sound thick. "Fuck yeah. Just feel it." His eyes stayed locked on Cliff’s, forcing the connection. He arched his back slightly, pushing his chest out. "Say it," he instructed, his voice dropping lower, rougher. "Say it with me."
Cliff’s eyes were wide, dark pools reflecting the flickering TV light and Scott’s intense gaze. His own hand moved under Scott’s silent command, rubbing his bulge roughly. "Fuck yeah," Cliff parroted, his voice gravelly, hesitant at first. "Just... feel it." He sounded uncertain, mimicking the sounds, not yet the feeling.
"Louder," Scott demanded, his own strokes becoming faster, slicker. He let his jaw go slack, his tongue lolling slightly past his lips. "Let it out. The cock. The cock is good." He chanted it, a low drone. "Cock is life. Cock is god. Just feel the cock." Spit gathered at the corner of his mouth, a thin strand stretching and breaking to land on his bare chest. "Drool," he commanded Cliff, his own saliva glistening. "Let it go. Lose it."
Cliff watched, mesmerized, his own breathing becoming ragged pants. Tentatively, he mimicked the slack jaw, the slightly protruding tongue. A droplet of spit escaped, tracing a path down his stubbled chin. "Cock is... good," he repeated, the words sounding foreign yet electric on his tongue. He rubbed himself harder through the cotton, a groan escaping. "Cock is... life." His eyes remained fixed on Scott’s face, then flickered down to the saliva on Scott’s chest, then back up, a mirror reflecting need.
Scott’s free hand moved, not towards Cliff, but towards his own body. His fingers found a nipple, pinching and rolling it roughly. He hissed, his head lolling back for a second before snapping his gaze back to Cliff. "Nipples," he gasped. "Make 'em hurt. Make 'em sing." He pinched harder, a sharp gasp tearing from him. "Feel it all." His rhythm on his cock was relentless now, a wet, rhythmic slapping sound filling the smoky room. His face contorted – eyes squeezed shut for a second, then flying open wide, pupils blown, mouth open in a silent scream before collapsing back into slack-jawed ecstasy. "Lose... your... fucking... mind," he ground out between panting breaths. "Just... cock. Only cock. Goon."
Cliff watched Scott unravel. He saw the face pulling, the drool, the frantic self-touch. Heard the guttural mantras, the wet sounds. His own hand slipped beneath the waistband of his boxers, finally freeing his thick cock. He hissed at the contact. Eyes locked on Scott’s contorted face, Cliff began to mimic. He pulled his own free hand up to his chest, fingers finding a nipple, twisting. "Fuck!" he gasped, the pain sharp, unexpected, mixing with the pleasure. He let his head fall back slightly, then forced it up, keeping his eyes on Scott, drool now freely wetting his chin. "Cock... god," he chanted, his voice breaking. "Only cock. Goon." His strokes were clumsy at first, then gained a desperate, matching rhythm to Scott’s own frantic motion.
They didn’t touch. They barely breathed. The only connection was the searing lock of their gazes and the shared, obscene symphony of their bodies – the wet slaps, the ragged breaths, the choked mantras, the guttural sounds of pleasure riding the razor's edge of pain. Scott saw Cliff’s confusion morph into raw, unfiltered hunger, a reflection of his own devouring need. The air vibrated with it. Cliff’s hips bucked minutely into his fist, his eyes wide and wild, fixed on Scott’s own desperate face. "Scott..." Cliff breathed, a ragged plea lost in the thick haze, his body tensing, trembling on the precipice as he mirrored Scott’s every twitch, every strained expression, every guttural sound ripped from the depths of his newly discovered abandon.
The thick haze of weed smoke clung to everything, pressing down like a warm, heavy blanket. Cliff’s ragged plea hung unfinished in the air, swallowed by the frantic wet sounds of their hands working flesh. His body coiled tight, trembling violently on the edge, eyes locked on Scott’s own desperate face contorted in mirrored ecstasy. Scott felt his own climax building, a white-hot pressure threatening to burst. "Now!" Scott gasped, his voice raw, commanding. "Shoot it! In your own mouth! Do it!"
Scott tore his gaze from Cliff’s straining face just long enough to watch his own cock pulse violently. He shoved his hips forward, angling upwards, mouth wide open. Thick ropes of white shot out, arcing through the smoky air, some hitting his tongue, some splattering warm across his cheek and chin. He groaned, deep and guttural, swallowing what landed inside, the taste sharp and salty. He kept his eyes wide open, forcing himself to watch Cliff obey.
Cliff’s eyes widened further, a flicker of panic beneath the haze of weed and lust. He fumbled, pulling his cock towards his face, mouth opening awkwardly. The first spurt hit his bottom lip, dripping down his chin. The second caught the tip of his nose. "Fuck!" he choked out, jerking his head, trying to aim. A third pulse finally hit his tongue, thick and sudden. He gagged slightly, swallowing convulsively as more landed messily on his jaw and neck. He shuddered violently, collapsing back against the cushions, spent and panting, white streaks glistening on his skin.
Silence descended, thick and sticky as the drying cum. The only sounds were their ragged breaths and the low hum of the forgotten porn still playing on the TV. Scott, still catching his breath, wiped a smear of his own release from his cheekbone with the back of his hand. He looked over at Cliff, covered in his own mess. A slow, disbelieving grin spread across Scott’s face. It felt alien, fragile. Cliff blinked, bleary-eyed, then looked down at himself. A choked laugh escaped him, rusty and surprised. Then another. Scott joined in, the sound bubbling up, nervous at first, then looser, genuine. They laughed at the absurdity, the mess, the sheer fucking strangeness of it all.
Cliff shook his head, still chuckling weakly. He probed at the glistening streaks on his neck and jaw. Slowly, almost thoughtfully, he lifted his index finger and swiped it through a thick droplet clinging to his stubble. He held his finger up, the pearl of white catching the dim TV light. His eyes, still bloodshot but clearer now, met Scott’s. Without a word, he extended his finger towards Scott’s mouth. Scott didn't hesitate. He leaned forward, closing his lips around Cliff’s fingertip, sucking gently, cleaning it. He tasted Cliff, mixed with the faint tang of his own earlier release. He pulled back, licking his lips, meeting Cliff’s gaze. "Yeah," Scott murmured, the single word heavy with unspoken understanding. Cliff just nodded, a slow, dazed smile spreading across his own face.
Sunlight streamed through the living room blinds the next morning, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. It felt different. Easier. Scott padded into the room, completely naked, scratching his stomach. Cliff was already sprawled on the couch, equally bare, scrolling his phone, a half-eaten bowl of cereal balanced precariously on his lap. "Morning," Cliff grunted, not looking up. His voice was rough, but lacked any tension.
"Morning," Scott replied, dropping onto the other end of the couch. He stretched, feeling the pull of muscles still sore from yesterday’s unexpected exertion. His gaze drifted downwards, then sideways. "Damn, Cliff," he said casually, nodding towards Cliff’s soft cock resting against his thigh. "You're thicker than I thought. Even soft." He shifted, letting his own semi-hardness show.
Cliff glanced over, a smirk playing on his lips. He put his phone down. "Yeah? Lemme see." He leaned sideways for a better look. "Huh. You got some length on me, kid. Nice curve." He reached down idly, giving his own a few lazy tugs, watching it thicken slightly. Scott mirrored the motion, his hand moving slowly on his own cock. They weren't racing towards anything, just touching, comparing. "Joy likes the curve," Cliff mused, his strokes becoming more deliberate. "Says it hits different."
Scott kept stroking, the rhythm easy, familiar now. "She tell you that?" He watched Cliff’s hand move. "While you were...?"
"Sometimes," Cliff admitted, his eyes half-closed, focused on the sensation building in his own lap. "After. When she's still buzzing." He glanced at Scott. "You joining me for the workout later? Or just gonna sit there playing with yourself?"
Scott grinned. "Ok. Let's do it." Cliff gave him a quizzical look. "Both. Definitely both." He matched Cliff’s pace, the shared rhythm settling into a comfortable background thrum to their conversation about nothing much – the shitty coffee, the game Cliff wanted to watch later, the weird noise the fridge was making. The taboo had dissolved overnight, replaced by this strange, naked normalcy. Workout. Eat. Goon. Nap. Repeat. It was Cliff’s rhythm, and Scott slid into it effortlessly.
Later, after weights and protein shakes, they lay sprawled on the living room floor, cooling sweat drying on their skin. Scott was leaking, a bead of clear precum welling at his tip. Cliff noticed. He rolled onto his side, propping his head on his hand. "That stuff," he said, nodding towards Scott’s cock. "Precum. Tastes like anything?"
Scott shrugged. "Sweet, kinda. Salty." He lifted his hips slightly. "Wanna find out?"
Cliff didn't hesitate. He leaned in, his tongue darting out, quick and curious, lapping up the droplet. He pulled back, considering. "Huh. Yeah. Sweet." He licked his lips. "Different."
Night fell. They’d eaten pizza straight from the box, naked at the kitchen counter. Now, back on the couch, the TV flickered silently. The compulsion built slowly, inevitably. Scott’s hand drifted down. Cliff’s followed. No words were needed. They stroked, the sounds soft and wet in the quiet room, eyes meeting occasionally, sharing the silent communion of building pleasure. The tension coiled tighter, breath shortening. Scott felt the familiar tightening low in his belly, the urgent throb. Cliff’s strokes became frantic, his breathing ragged pants. "Close," Cliff gasped, his eyes wide, fixed on Scott.
"Me too," Scott choked out, his own hand a blur. "Now. Together." They pushed themselves over the edge, groans mingling in the dark room. Scott came first, thick pulses hitting his stomach. Cliff followed seconds later, his release splattering onto his own heaving chest. They lay panting, spent, the scent of sex thick in the air. Then Cliff shifted. He leaned towards Scott, his face glistening with sweat and his own cum. Scott met him halfway. Their lips met, sticky and salty, tasting of sweat, weed, and the sharp tang of Cliff’s release. It was messy, clumsy, a culmination of the day's strange intimacy. They broke apart, breathing heavily, a shared, dazed look passing between them in the dim light. The silence stretched, thick with exhaustion and something else entirely. Cliff’s hand drifted back down towards his softening cock. Scott watched him, his own fingers tracing idle patterns on his sticky thigh. The compulsion was a low hum now, never truly gone.
