The Day I Changed Everything

I was a popular jock in High School. Always had a girlfriend. More friends than I could count. I was 5’11 smooth jock body that I worked on daily. My eyes were ice blue and I had flowing blonde hair. Great grades got me a full ride at the state college. Everything was set for me! I wanted to study law and entered into a 6 year program at school where id be an accredited lawyer when I was all done. YUP my life was all planned out! Then I went to college…..
Like most 18 yo’s I was going to dorm my first year and then figure it out from there. Campus was about a 4 hour drive from my town…. Just far enough for freedom and close enough to get some home cooking now and then. The week before I left for college I was packing and buying all the typical stuff one needs to live the dorm life. My mom was begging me to get a haircut, at least a trim, and I kept telling yeah ill stop by the mall today and get it done. Well I kept putting it off because I really didn’t want to cut it and it was something I really didn’t think that much about anyway. So off to school I went with hair that covered my ears and was a couple of inches over my collar. My mom kissed me, told me she loved me, and said please find a barber shop with you get to school. I laughed and said of course! It will be the first thing I do!
I arrived at State College. Shocked how big it was. I had been on a couple of visits but idk it just seemed bigger now that I was actually moving here. I checked in then found my way to my dorm. Austin, my roommate, didn’t know each other but we had been texting for a couple of months and we seemed to get along pretty well. We had exchanged pictures. He was handsome and had hair similar to mine. He was a jock in high school as well. I assumed we would reminisce about our glory days of high school sport dominance. Austin had texted me an hour before I arrived informing me he was already setting up his side of the room. I told him id be there shortly and looked forward to hanging out. I opened the door and there he was. I swear we were twins accept for one thing. Clearly Austin listened to his mom and got a haircut before coming to school. And I mean it was short! I don’t usually notice a guys haircut but his was so short I couldn’t help be look. I carried my bags in. Austin helped me get things out of my car and we spent the afternoon setting out our new pad. Finally we had things just right and sat down and started talking.
So when did you cut your hair? You sent me a pic like 2 weeks ago and it was pretty much the same as mine. I started to get this obsession with his new look that I couldn’t explain. Austin replied, yeah I don’t Tyler just wanted a change and I figured what better time to make a change than going off to college. I just kept staring. I don’t know what got into me. There was something about it that was so intoxicating and was giving me feelings I had never had before. He had a full on buzz cut and the sides were shaved bald. I asked him when he got it. Austin said, well I went to the barber shop right on main st in town this morning when I got here and got it done. At least now I knew why it looked so fresh. Austin’s said, I wasn’t the only one with the idea, there were a couple of other guys doing pretty much the same thing. The barber told me he always got 10 or 15 guys who came in to get shaved when they got to town. Austin said I was disappointed I wasn’t an original and we both laughed. I kept staring and started to feel myself get aroused, which I simply couldn’t explain, but I had this huge urge to rub it. Austin would think I was weird, but just at that moment he said, want to give it a rub? I laughed, got up and walked over and rubbed the top. It softer than I thought it would be. Then I rubbed the shaved sides and they were literally razor smooth.
We talked about more about girls and what not. We both broke up with our girl friends before we left not wanting long distance relationships. A short time later we decided to explore the town. Both of us were starving. So we headed out, walking across campus to the Main Street were all of the restaurants were and the barber shop where Austin got his haircut. As we walked by he said, well all my hair is on the floor in there, we both laughed. I noticed the shop was empty and started to get this unbelievable urge. I was sweating I was so nervous. Not understanding any of it we continued to walk. Then I stopped. Austin said, you ok? I..I…I feel like I want to get a haircut. But idk. Austin said well go for it. It feels amazing and I have been wanting to do it for so long but always chickened out and got trims. No one here knows me so I decided why not! I looked at him, took my hand and ran it through my long hair, then looked at his shaved head. Why was this dominating my thoughts? I had never thought about hair this much my entire life as I had in the last two hours. Austin pushed me back in the direction of the barber shop. Go for it dude. It will grow back by Thanksgiving if you don’t like it.
With that I started walking back towards the shop as if I was in a trance. I reached out to open the door and my hand was actually shaking. As I entered, the barber greeted me with a smile and said take a seat, inviting me to his big red leather barbers chair. I sank into the seat. Austin entered the shop and the barber said, oh hey, bring your friend in for a new year cut? Austin just smiled and said, well I told him you are a great barber, no idea how he wants it cut. I sat there with the cape over me and the barber addressed me, so what are we doing with your hair today. I wanted to say just a trim like my mom told me to get, or maybe something shorter but not too short, but the words just came out of not where. I will have it cut just like his. Austin had a big smile on his face. The barber wasted no time. He slide the clippers up my right side burn as I faced the mirror. The cape immediately filled with hair. Working his way around I couldn’t believe how high up he was going. As he skinned the sides what was happening under that cape was something I simply didn’t understand. Why was this turning me on so much? Why am I doing this? Why am I enjoying it so much? My head literally spinning. Then he switched clippers and started mowing down the top. He did his blending thing making it look super sharp. Then I thought it was over when I heard this weird noice coming from the counter. Then a very warm sensation as he spread hot lather all over the sides and back. I almost exploded in my pants and the sensation of the straight razor shave. I caught Austin’s intensely watching the cut. I liked that he was watching for some reasons.
All done the barber finally said. I didn’t recognize myself. Austin got up. I definitely caught him adjusting as he got out of the waiting room chair. He rubbed my head the same way i rubbed his earlier. Then he said, Tyler you look amazing. I smiled at him and said guess we are back to being twins. The barber removed the cape. Since i always got boner in class in high school i was a master of getting up and adjusting while not making it look obvious. So we headed out. The hair hitting my shaved scalp for the first time since I was probably 6. We continued to explore. Checking out some clothing stores, novelty shops, and then I was shocked what came next.
Austin’s said lets try this place for some food. I looked at him and said ummmm ok. Now I don’t have anything against gay people what so ever. I had a few gay friends in high school and we got along great. This was clearly one of the gay bars near campus with Rainbow flags flying outside and clearly 100% guys as we entered. I felt nervous but intrigued. Not like I would see anyone I knew. We found a quiet booth and sat down. Austin was staring at me the same way I was staring at him when we were back in our room. He said, Wild feeling isn’t it? I replied, being in a bar with all guys? Austin laughed, no not having any hair! Oh I felt stupid for what I said and replied, yeah its weird but I kinda like how it feels. Rubbing my freshly shaved head and looking at him gave me some feelings that I was struggling to understand. Austin I have to ask you, Are you gay? Austin smiled at me, he blushed clearly nervous, then I piped in before he could answer and said, I don’t care if you are, I have not issue with it. He looked up and smiled and said that he had an experience with a friend over the summer and wanted to continue to explore his feelings. Then we he saw my pic that I sent him admitted he was extremely attracted to me. I was blown away, but not grossed out. I didn’t run away. I wasn’t offended. We just talked. I told him he was really good looking too, which I had never said to another guy.
We were hitting it off so well neither of us realized it was almost midnight. We wandered back to our dorm room, we went to the showers and refreshed laughing at how it felt to wash what little hair we both had on our heads. I got out and had a towel wrapped around me as I walked into our room. Austin was staring at me. He said, your body is amazing. I stared back and said yours is too. We woke up the next morning in the same bed. In one day I moved from home, shaved all my hair off, and explored new beginnings with my roommate. I didn’t regret one second of it! To be continued…….
