Story #5
Tyler got out of the shower at his campus gym and wrapped a towel around his waist. It was very early on a weekday, and he was always grateful to his housemate Aaron coming with him this early despite only Tyler having an early class that day. The two have been coming to the gym all semester and the progress was really starting to show. Tyler definitely wasn’t a beefcake, but as he stood there in nothing but a towel it was clear to see that his arms were lean but muscular and his stomach was thin but both hard and flat.
He walked back to his locker, which was next to Aaron’s. Aaron was halfway through getting changed, wearing a white tank top undershirt and a pair of solid salmon-colored boxers. Tyler had recently switched out all of his basic boxers and boxer briefs for more wildly patterned trunks and even a few briefs he has been too scared to wear. While it seemed like a good idea at the time, he had conveniently forgot while doing so that he lived in a house with six other college guys who liked to both pants each other and walk around the house in various stages of undress, and now he was in constant fear of being seen in his underpants.
Had he gone to the gym with any other of his housemates, he probably would’ve brought his shorts and underwear to the shower with him like he was in middle schools. But a day prior Aaron had seen a particularly embarrassing pair of his underwear due to an accidentally see-through shorts incident. He slipped on his most modest pair of clean trunks, ones on the longer side with teal and indigo horizontal stripes. But as he reached inside of his locker for the rest of his clothes, he realized they were gone, as was his towel. He looked and Aaron was all of a sudden gone. His phone lit up.
“Though a straight-up pantsing was kind’ve boring. Just went home. Have a good day on campus!”
Tyler cursed to himself. Aaron knew that he had a Spanish test in ten minutes and now he had nothing to wear but his underwear. But Tyler also realized that it had only been a minute since Aaron was just here; maybe he hadn’t reached his car yet and could catch up to him. He took a deep breath and ran out of the locker room.
Thankfully, the gym was mostly empty but Tyler’s face burned in embarrassment as he jogged past the freshman at the front desk in nothing but his colorful trunks. Had Tyler been wearing boxers or modest-colored boxer briefs, he wouldn’t have thought anything of this. And no matter how nerdy tighty whites are, he’d just be seen as someone who didn’t care about their underwear or maybe just had a laundry day. But to be wearing underwear so bright, tight, and small? Anyone who saw him would no he clearly put some thought into his underwear, who consciously brought something so easy to make fun of. Under his pants? Fine. But in the light of day he was mortified. And the freshman and the front desk laughing wasn't helping anything.
Tyler reached the parking lot just as Aaron’s car was driving away. He now had no clothes to wear and if he got a 0 on this exam he was likely to fail the entire course. And to make his embarrassment worse, he found a familiar face working out on a patch of grass near the parking lot. Shirtless in a pair of basketball shorts with sweat coursing through his abs like a network of rivers, was the pizza guy who had had the luck of seeing Tyler’s pink and purple underwear through his white shorts in a rainstorm; apparently he was a student here and the pizza delivery was a part-time job. His face lit up in recognition as he walked towards a red-faced Tyler.
“Hey didn’t I deliver for you the other night?”
“I feel like I should explain about my underwear.” Not just why he was wearing nothing but now, but why this poor pizza guy has gotten a front-row viewing twice in less than 24 hours.
“I’m guessing that dude running out holding a bunch of balled-up clothes was your ‘friend,’ wasn’t it?” He grinned. “My name’s Seth by the way.”
“Tyler.” Tyler’s hand wavered awkwardly over his crotch. “And now I have a Spanish test in a few minutes and-“.
“Say no more.” Seth tosses Tyler a black undershirt he must’ve discarded before his workout. “I have nowhere to be for a couple of hours and I have a car to drive myself home in.” He calmly removed his shorts to reveal that he was sporting some purple compression shorts underneath.
“Thanks so much. I think I might actually be able to take my test now.” With the undershirt already on, Tyler realized his ass must be slightly larger than Seth’s, as it took him a couple of seconds to pull the shorts over his teal and indigo ass. “Again, I know it seems like I wear really weird underwear-“
“Dude, relax.” Seth grinned. “Trust me, I’m wearing these because I’m working out. I have plenty of pairs of underwear I wouldn’t want any of my buddies seeing me in.”
Tyler thanked him one more time and began to jog towards the building where his Spanish class was. However, he only got a few steps before Seth called out to him.
“Oh, Tyler?” Seth stood there, sweaty and smiling in nothing but his purple compression shorts. He was clearly in no rush to get into his car. “We gotta come up with some sort of plan to get that friend of yours back.”
