My BF and I

Im not hiding it! I am gay! It was my freshman year in college. While I was gay, and out to all my friends I wouldn’t call myself a flamboyant gay. I dressed nice. I had perfect hair, wavy natural blonde, trendy undercut, and a smooth body. I had one boyfriend in high school but it was lame, lets just leave it at that. I played Tennis and cross country as a high school athlete. My family was cool with me being gay. The one thing I hid was my fascination with hair. Since I was in elementary school I was fascinated when a friend or classmate got a haircut. I never did anything crazy. I was more the type that just stayed with what ever the trend was. I had summer buzzcuts (which I secretly loved) but always complained. I even got my haircut with a friend a few times at the local shop. Thing is, if I ever had a hair out of place it annoyed me. If I saw a guy with a shaggy cut, I thought to myself, why don’t you at least get it trimmed up. That leads me to the story of my first real boy friend.
College was awkward at first. I wasn’t doing any sports. Just classes and stuff. My roommate and I were polar opposites and really didn’t even talk. I knew no one on campus. I got the typical fresh haircut before going off to college as most people had when I arrived. Of course that was what I was checking out on every student on campus haha. I went to a few parties. I met some people and was starting to find a "click" I guess. I found the classes easy and I was doing fine with my grades. One of my friends was named Alex. Alex was straight as arrow. He knew I was gay but had no issue with it. He was always on the hunt for a girl. I always tried to help him. Not like I was having any luck finding a guy. But Alex and I became pretty close. One day, about 6 weeks after school had started, we were sitting in the food quad having a sandwich talking about plans for the weekend. Neither of us had a plan, but I told him I needed to find a place to get a haircut. He looked at me stunned "Why, your hair is always perfect!" I replied "Well its been six weeks. I hate when it feels over grown. I’m thinking about a new style anyway." Alex ran his fingers through his hair. It was black, over his ears and collar "I guess I probably need a trim too. New look? Like something radical?" His interest in my hair seemed odd since he was straight but we continued to talk about hair for a while. I explained how it was the first thing I checked out on a guy when I was looking at him. How someone with shaggy messy hair probably wasn’t going to be my type. Alex giggled and said "you sound obsessed" I smiled "I think I am."
That night Alex and I met up and headed to a party. It was kinda crazy with drunk kids everywhere. This super hot girl started talking to me. It was when she started putting her hands through my hair and down my neck I decided it was time to break the news to her. Just then Alex walked up and I introduced them. I said "I think you will have more fun with Alex than me. I am uhhhh well let’s just say I’m on a different team." She smiled and said "OH!! Haha well thanks for telling me." We all laughed and got fresh drinks and soon enough she was stroking Alex’s hair and they were making out. Mission accomplished, for him anyway. Alex and his new friend disappeared and there I was, being a dork, all alone. I was about to leave. Hanging out on this back porch drinking my last drink of the night when it happened. Tyler entered my life.
He was a frigging mess! Totally not anyone I would have ever seen myself with. I don’t even know how to describe what was going on with his hair, it was long and scraggly with some twisted curls. He was a little taller than me and looked to be in very good shape. But the thing is his eyes were iced blue and as soon as I saw them I couldn’t stop staring. Tyler said hi and introduced himself. I was a little standoffish saying "Hey, kind of a lame party huh?" He looked and me and laughed "Well it was. Until I came out here." I blushed. OMG this guy is hitting on me. Like how could he even know I was gay! We started talking. We had some things in common. I finally asked "So you are gay too? How did you know I was gay." He laughed "Yeah I am but its so dumb to label ourselves. How did I know you were? I didn’t I just think you’re hot af!" Saying I was blushing is an understatement. He continued to compliment me on how well put together I was. Clothes, in shape, eyes, and my perfect hair. I said "Well thank you Tyler. You have amazing eyes! Your body looks so perfect. My hair is actually a mess right now and I am looking for a place to get it done but I am a bit picky about who cuts it." He smiled and said "As you can see mine is a mess. I tried this whole grungy look for college and to be honest its terrible. Im surprised you’re even talking to me." I smiled "Well I am pretty vain, but I think you had me when you looked me in the eye." We both laughed. He pulled his phone out and showed me a pic from about 6 months ago. He had a high and tight skin faded sides and back with a nice length on top. Not buzzed but a little spike and really really cute. I immediately had blood flowing down below when I saw this pic! He said "That was the day after my last haircut. I decided to grow it out and be different for college, but I am thinking this isn’t working for me." I smiled "Well you can always cut it." I felt stupid for stating the obvious. He just smiled "yeah I could for sure. Maybe I need a reason too." Looking me right in the eye saying that was about all I needed to hear that night. We started kissing. I was in heaven after the first time our lips met. We kissed and talked for about 2 hours. We never even had another drink. Totally lost in each other and this was like no guy I had ever met.
The next week was filled with a lot of mid terms and studying. Tyler and I texted a lot, but one of the things we had in common was we were both actually taking college seriously. I met him for coffee one day, but we only spent about 30 min together. Friday came, the week was coming to and end and we made a plan to hang out Saturday. I slept until almost noon. Tyler and I didn’t really have a plan we just wanted to chill, get some food, and continue talking and getting to know each other, or so I thought. We met at a chill place on campus. Tyler was dressed really nice! Damn he was hot, everything accept his hair. We had a nice hug and kissed a little. My hair was at the point where I couldn’t take it anymore, but I decided I would have more time the following week to at least get it cleaned up. Tyler and I didn’t really talk about hair at all during our text conversations last week. Then he said "I think I found a place to get my hair sorted out. Want to come with me?" My stomach turned in knots. I smiled and said "I hope you’re not cutting it for me." He said "I am absolutely cutting it for you." This made me so hard down below. A guy actually doing something for me is something I had never experienced before. "So where is this place? How did you hear about it?" Tyler said "Its called Campus Barbers. Totally trendy place on the strip that does all kinds of cuts." He never mentioned my hair. His fingers where in it a lot which of course drove me nuts, but never said anything about me getting it cut. He took my hand and we started walking to the strip. It was a street that had lots of bars and restaurants and shops. I was so excited but I was trying to keep it cool.
The shop was located at the end of the strip. I asked him if he was nervous. He said "Im actually excited." I smiled at him "have you decided what your going to do with it?" He said "Well these stupid twists in my hair probably only give me one option. Im going to shave it all off and start over." Now I have never mentioned that the buzz cut is like my number one turn on when it comes to a guys hair. So hearing him say this, well you can imagine what it was doing to me. He looked at me "You ok with that?" I blushed "It’s your hair, but yeah I think you would look hot with a buzzcut." He shocked me "I didn’t say buzz cut. I said shaved." Ok now I was just about to lose it. But somehow I kept it together. All I could get out is "Cool! You will look amazing I am sure." We arrived at the shop. He looked at me and said "Oh I made two appointments, you said you needed a trim." I smiled and said "Yeah I do. Thank you Tyler." I really wanted to watch him get it shaved, but our chairs were on opposite ends of the shop. I had been thinking about something new as well, but I wasn’t going to go bald. I told my barber to take the sides up short with a nice fade, give me a hard part, and leave 4 inches on top faded in with it hanging to the side. This was going to be very short for me. He smiled and said I know exactly what you want and caped me up. I kept trying to get a glimpse of Tyler, but I had no angle to see him at all. My barber took the clippers and went right to work. Shaving up the side of my head, working around to the back, lots of hair piling up on the cape. He took me down to the skin about half way up and then faded it in perfectly. I was watching him work in the mirror and while it was shorter than I asked for I was loving the transformation. When he got to the top he suggested we go shorter than 4 inches. Since he had done such a perfect job on the sides and back I told him "go for it." It took his shears and cut several inches off in the back, then worked towards the front leaving it longer. I had a nice length on my bangs and it was looking perfectly layered and I was loving the length. This was the shortest cut I have had since middle school, but this was the most stylish cut I had ever had. Then he shaved in a tight hard part which about sent me over the edge. He, without asking, shaved in three little lines on my temple and while I would never have asked for that, it looked sick! He put some product and showed me a couple of ways to style it. I was in total heaven. To be honest I was so wrapped up in my cut I almost forgot Tyler was getting his head shaved. My barber removed the cape. I was sitting there rubbing up the back of my head. It felt so amazing! I got up and walked to the lobby. At this point I was looking for Tyler. The receptionist said he was at the coffee shop next door and had said for me to just meet him there. She said "Wow you look amazing! Robert worked his magic on you." I smiled and said "Thank you. I really like it. It’s totally different for me, but I’m really happy with it." I paid and excitedly walked to the coffee shop next door. There he was and OMG he looked so hot. A shiny bald head! Completely smooth. His eyes popped. He smiled at me and said "You look so amazing! That is a sexy haircut." I looked at him "Reached out and rubbed his smooth head. Tyler you look so good! Like this really suits you! You look hot!" We kissed. We talked. Then we headed somewhere private…… to be continued
