Lean on me

Chapter one

"This ones easy. Cmon, get up." Zachary Dempsey said as he stood up, previously sitting on the spot next to Alex Standall on the edge of his bed. Alex looked up at him, PlayStation controller in hand. He shook his head.

"No, this is embarrassing" Alex replied. But Zach was having none of it.

"This is embarrassing?" He said, looking down at Alex in disbelief. Alex looked up at him again, as if the question was completely stupid "Yeah"

"yeah okay, you've done worse." Zach snapped back, without a thought. The truth was, he had done worse. He was trying his best to get Alex to calm down and stop fighting his grip. They were both only in their swim suits which entailed a pair of board shorts. Their shirts were bare and Alex had been having a bit of trouble lately getting it up. So Zach never really overthought it. But he had to admit, he bit his lip at the site of Alex' bulge. He didn't know why, he hadn't really ever looked at another guy like that before. Maybe it was just because he hadn't seen someone get hard over him. Maybe he was flattered?

Alex would be lying if he said he hadn't thought about it either. He was relieved that his 'penis still worked' but he couldn't help but wonder why.. why Zach. And why not Jessica? Alex did go home that day and tried watching male on male porn, seeing if it would have the same effect. But it didn't.

He supposed that maybe Zach was right, that it was because of "the contact or something." But he couldn't help but think, maybe I'm attracted to Zach? No. I can't be. He thought at the time. Better shake this feeling.

So he tried his best not to think about their interaction that day.

Zach moved to Alex's side and placed a hand on the small of his back, and another gripped around his arm.

"Come on, put the controller down." And Alex complied. "Come on" Zach groaned as he lifted the boy to stand. He wasn't that heavy, he was quite light actually. He enjoyed helping Alex out.

Zach moved in front of Alex, who still had his arms held against Zach's biceps in order to stand.

"I have to school you." He said gently, in a humourful tone. His hands were on Alex's waist as he guided him into the middle of the floor. Alex limped over as he followed. He answered with an "okay."

"My mom made me do some dance — don't, never mind don't worry about it." Zach quickly shut down what he was about to say. Alex's hands were on Zach's waist and it was the same for the other boy.

"So, good hand on her waist." Zach took his hand and guided it to his waist, before moving his other hand to his left hip.

"Left hand on her hip." Zach nodded. "Yeah."

"she'll hold it and just, lean into her." He advised. Zach placed his hands on Alex's shoulders on either side and looked down at the boy who was looking down himself.

"And what about-" he noticed the boys hesitation, so he tried to settle him a bit "just try stepping, okay?" And so they did, they were turning a little as well. "Yeah." He acclaimed, yet not so loudly.

Alex was limping slightly, but Zach was still proud of the kid. "See?" He said in a happy tone, trying to excite the guy.

"The song will have to be pretty slow, shouldn't it?" Zach said, almost asking. They kept Turning and moving slowly to the silence. "God this is so stupid." Alex muttered, clearly annoyed with the situation. He was looking down.

"No it's not. You're getting there," Zach reassured him, he was indeed very proud of the teens progress.

"No, I'm just a cripple, who can't even fucking slow dance right." Alex almost yelled, breaking away from the dance. He always got angry since the incident.
