a good ass as much as the next straight guy!”
    An image of the last female butt Ellis had seen flashed in his mind, and he pushed it away resolutely. He’d been avoiding Dale for the past two weeks, and Dale hadn’t tried very hard to talk to him, though Ellis had caught him staring more than once. They were going to have to start talking again soon if they wanted to continue their project, and Ellis both anticipated and dreaded that moment.
    He hoped they could forget what had happened that day, because he didn’t want to lose Dale’s friendship over something so stupid. Ellis couldn’t help himself, though—he blushed every single time he caught Dale looking at him.
    He knew he was the one keeping Dale at a distance, but he was still trying to deal with the impossible feelings he had for Dale, and imagining him jacking off every time he looked at him wasn’t helping.
    Ellis had been surprised Seth stuck by him even when it became obvious something had happened between Ellis and Dale. Ellis asked him why, and Seth pointed out Dale wasn’t his boss and he could become friends with whomever he wanted. They’d been together a lot since then, and their friendship had an easy banter Ellis usually only enjoyed with Matt.
    “I’m still here, you know,” Seth said as he snapped his fingers in front of Ellis’s face.
    Ellis stuck his tongue out at him. “I know. How could I forget about you?”
    “Aaah, I knew my manly charm had snagged you.”
    “Oh, yeah. It definitely was your manly charm.”
    They both laughed, and Seth turned left to enter the school’s parking lot. He found an empty space as quickly as he could, considering most students were just arriving, and parked.
    Ellis unbuckled his belt and was about to get out when a hand on his arm stopped him.
    “Are you ever going to tell me what happened between you and Dale?”
    “Probably not.”
    Seth arched a brow. “I can’t imagine what could put a wedge between you two, at least not such a big one.”
    Ellis felt himself blush and shook his arm free. “Believe me, you don’t want to know.”
    He climbed out of Seth’s car and met him in front of it. He immediately realized he’d said too much—Seth was looking at him with speculation in his eyes, and since the guy wasn’t stupid by any means, Ellis knew he’d probably figure something out by the end of the day.
    “Look, nothing happened. We had a fight over the English assignment.”
    “And that’s why you haven’t been talking to him for two weeks?”
    “Yeah.”
    “I’m not stupid, El, but if you don’t want to tell me, I won’t push.” Ellis smiled in thanks, but Seth wasn’t done talking. “I think I’ll go bug Dale instead. He seems to be about ready to spill your big secret.”
    “No, no! You can’t do that!”
    “Try to stop me, shorty.” With that Seth hurried away. Ellis hesitated for a few seconds, then swore and followed him. He had to make his way through the throngs of students heading to their lockers or their first class, and he wasn’t even sure where Seth was going. At least the guy was tall enough Ellis could see him from afar.
    Ellis gulped when he saw Seth standing in front of Dale and talking to him. Ellis paused. He was torn between the need to stop Seth and the need to stay as far away from Dale as he could. The first one won.
    He strode toward the two men, his eyes on Seth. “It’s not your business, Seth.”
    Seth gave him a wicked smile. “I know, but you can’t blame me for wanting to find out. I have to say, it wasn’t what I’d imagined.”
    Ellis gaped at Dale. “You told him?”
    “I told him you came by my house and that you were uncomfortable because I put that movie on, so you left.”
    “You….”
    “Really, what were you thinking, Dale? It’s obvious he wouldn’t want to see straight porn. It would be like you watching gay porn with him.”
    A few heads turned their way, and Ellis looked down to avoid crossing glances with any of
