"49...50...phew, fuck. All done."

Cenric heaved himself up from the bench, rolling his shoulders and groaning as his muscles ached and complained with each subtle movement. Maybe he'd overdone it this time, but it felt good to just work out, to get the blood pumping and see the fruits of his labours some months down the line. The large, muscular dragon stretched his arms forward as his spotter eased himself up from the thick weight that Cenric had set down mere moments before.

"A good rep, don't you think, Seb?" Cenric looked over his shoulder at the slimmer, more athletically built reptile who stood behind him and flashed a grin. Seb, or rather Sebastian, had been Cenric's friend for a few years now. They weren't colleagues, nor were they childhood friends-- simply put, they were gym buddies, and nothing more. Rarely did they see one another outside of the workouts that Cenric did at least 3 times a week, for 1 or 2 hours at a time. The slim, bluish-grey scaled man had offered to spot for the larger wingless dragon one day and they hit it off. Cenric considered him a good friend, even if they didn't have a whole lot in common; Cenric was focused on the bodybuilding lifestyle outside of work, whereas Seb did it just to keep in shape, his main hobby being video games.

With a groan Cenric rose to his feet, adjusting his shorts as they bent over his black-scaled knees and tucked up against his thick, muscular thighs. His vest was damp with sweat and clung to the contours of his rippling, similarly coloured front, and he didn't hesitate to peel it off, pulling it over his head. Being topless wasn't exactly the strangest thing for a guy like him in the middle of the gym's main workout room-- a lot of others were the same...or rather, the most able-bodied ones were; others that were conscious about their body kept their shirts on.

"I think I'm done," Cenric threw the remark over his shoulder at Sebastian as he rose to his feet, his knees aching a little. He resisted the urge to do a few squats to get the blood flowing, knowing all too well that he wouldn't be able to stop once he started-- he often had a habit of running himself ragged in all corners of his life. He gestured to the reptile, who reached for their water bottles and held them in both hands, looking tired himself. Unlike Cenric, Seb was quick to quit when things got too exhausting, though his regime was a lot less than the dragon's own. He was already done when Cenric was doing his final rep, so the two of them could head to the locker rooms together.

"You gonna shower whilst you're here?" Seb asked as they strode across the gym hall, weaving between those doing their own workouts. The dragon grunted and reached up to scratch at the frame of one of his thick horns, briefly smoothing his hand over the length of his horn for a moment before toying with the vest in his hands.

"Probably. I'm pretty sweaty." He replied nonchalantly. Seb always asked the same question, to the point where it had become a ritual, of sorts. It was the one thing that Cenric never questioned, for he thought he might not get a straight answer. Truthfully, Seb was a hard person to read...but he was kind, and a relaxed sort of person, which is why the dragon got on so well with him. They were comfortable around one another.

The two adult men made their way into the locker room and Cenric dropped his vest to a bench in front of the lockers, before abruptly yanking down his pants. He'd spent more than enough time in here to not be ashamed of his body, nor nervous about being naked-- after all, he was straight. There was no chance in hell he'd feel embarrassed about another guy seeing his humanoid junk. Seb, meanwhile, averted his gaze and turned to his own locker, removing his shirt and pants by extension, for his intended to shower alongside Cenric. It made sense-- the showers were clean, and the thought of putting fresh clothes onto a sweaty body was unpleasant, to say the least.

Despite Cenric's assuredness in his sexuality, however, it was clear that Seb was a little on the fence. Cenric had a good body, of that he was sure-- he had rippling muscles, a manly figure and an ample-sized, foreskinned cock that was halfway between a shower and a grower, sitting squarely above average in length...so it was no surprise that he'd attract the attention of those into men. Seb was exactly one of those people, from what Cenric had noticed. The reptile often liked to watch from a distance, and there were other things he did that made it obvious where his interests lied; Cenric wasn't the type to feel uncomfortable simply because a man appreciated his body, however. With his clothes discarded, for now, Cenric adjourned to the showers with Seb following along behind him, shampoo bottle in hand.

Unlike most gyms, the showers there were communal, so Seb got as much eye candy as he wanted-- to Cenric's surprise, however, the place was...quiet. The gym floor had plenty of people, but the lockers were all but vacant, bar the two of them. He didn't really mind too much, though as he ran the water over his scales, it did make him wonder. He reached for his body wash bottle that he'd placed on a small shelf beneath the shower's main valve, and squeezed some into his palm, rubbing it over his body. He hissed as his joints ached and closed his eyes, focusing on cleaning himself-- he was more than aware of his friend's fleeting gaze and paid it no mind.

"...Are you doing it again today?" Seb asked out of the blue, and Cenric peeked open one eye to stare over at him. He knew what the reptile was referring to, of course: muscle rub. The best way to soothe aching joints after a good workout was with a quick bit of over-the-counter lotion, and often Seb wanted to "help" in his own way...and honestly, Cenric didn't mind it. It felt like to be stroked in such a methodical yet purposeful way, even if it was by a guy. Would be better if it was a woman, of course...

"Yeah," Cenric grunted his reply, rinsing the shampoo off his body and then quickly stepping out from under the water. He could have a longer shower later-- at most he just wanted to wash off the sweat and get home.

As soon as he withdrew from the shower, Seb quickly, almost eagerly followed behind him, disregarding his own need to shower and instead focusing on his friend. Cenric padded across the room as water dripped from his scales, and he scooped up a towel, roughly patting himself down to more or less dry himself; a little bit of water wouldn't hurt the lotion, and he was too exhausted to thoroughly brush the towel through every crack in his scales. He opened his locker and reached inside his bag, retrieving a small squeezy bottle. When he turned, Seb was already expectantly standing there, looking a bit bashful about being in the nude, but not exactly covering himself either. Cenric breathed a sigh and handed it out to him.

"Oh, if you don't want me to, then..." Seb began, but Cenric shook his head, affirming his intentions by handing out the lotion again. Seb visibly hesitated and then took it in his hands, turning it over and popping the cap. He squeezed some of the lotion-- a fairly translucent, clear colour-- into his palm and then immediately stepped forwards. His gaze briefly locked with Cenric's own before the dragon averted his gaze and stretched his arms out, forming something of a T-Pose.

A coolness spread across Cenric's left bicep and he sighed as he felt Seb's palm smear across the most prominent muscle in his arm, sliding up towards the crease of his elbow before sliding back down again. Seb had done this before maybe 6, 7 times? His movements were always careful and methodical, his hands gentle to the touch but firm when it was necessary. Cenric had commented in the past on his much of a natural he seemed to be at massaging, and Seb had gotten flustered at his words at the time; Cenric guessed he had trained to be a masseuse at one point or another, but Seb didn't seem to like to talk about it.

Honestly, his touch was nice. The way it was soft and roaming reminded him of the occasional girlfriend he'd had when he was in college, but nowadays his love life was in the gutter. His scales tingled as the muscle rub was spread across his arm, but it was also more than that-- his body was reacting to even the most simplest of stimulation and, strangely enough, Cenric found himself getting into it. He felt his heartbeat quicken as Seb's hand worked up towards his shoulders and spread the lotion across the sharp contours of his collar bone and towards his neck, though the slim reptile didn't go past his neck and up to his head. Instead, he dipped down and to the side, reaching the dragon's other arm and briefly withdrawing to pool more lotion into his palm, before returning to smearing it across the man's arms. The soothing feeling of pain relief helped to make Cenric's body feel more limber, but that was only in his arms-- both his chest and legs ached, and soon enough Seb would have to dip down to do the rest.

After a few minutes, Seb shifted his hands towards the dragon's chest instead, and up until that point Cenric had kept his gaze squarely forward and his arms outstretched. When his arms were done, he lowered his arms and, by extension, cast his gaze down-- it was there that Cenric spotted Seb's flustered expression, though due to his physiology there was no blush on his cheeks, and at first Cenric chalked it up to the sight of his body...but he soon realised why the reptile was so embarrassed when he caught sight of something at the bottom of his vision. He snapped his gaze down and a hot flush swept over him when he realised he was half-hard, turned on by the man's touch alone. Cenric, who had been so sure in his sexuality, now felt...uneasy.

"S...Sorry." Seb apologised, for reasons that the dragon couldn't find, and Cenric awkwardly chuckled.

"N-No, no, I should be apologising," He insisted. "It's just been a while, I guess."

Seb slowly nodded and said nothing more, and Cenric grew worried that the reptile was feeling uncomfortable; to his surprise, however, Seb continued to stroke, running his hands across Cenric's ample pectoral muscles, cupping around where his nipples would have been if he were a mammal. He spread the lotion across the man's scales until they glistened in the light above, and as he ran his hands down the blood rushed to Cenric's loins, if only because of how close Seb was getting to his dick. If that wasn't bad enough, Seb's own interest became fervently obvious when the tip of his own cock started nudging against the dragon's sizeable leg, prodding and probing-- not deliberately, of course, but Cenric found himself paying attention to it regardless, feeling more and more awkward as time went on.

After a while, Seb started to crouch, squatting down on his feet as he spread more lotion across his palm and started working it into the dragon's thighs, starting with his left. It was that moment that changed everything, for Cenric's half-hard cock, halfway to horizontal and at a stunning 7 or so inches already, hung mere centimetres from Seb's face, threatening to touch his cheek. Seb did a good job of ignoring it at first, but it was clearly getting to him over time. Cenric could see Seb's nostrils flaring, taking in the mixed scent of his shampoo and arousal, and his lips were parted, his breathing heavy. Cenric didn't want to admit it out loud, but his mind was already wandering to thoughts of that reptile's maw around his cock, bobbing back and forth...he'd never had thoughts like this before. He, who was so sure in being straight, wasn't normally this flustered. His mouth felt dry.

As Seb moved his hands to the dragon's other thigh, he faltered, aware that he'd need to pass over the member in some fashion, either by leaning back or ducking his head, in order to focus his attention on the other leg. After a moment his gaze flicked up, meeting Cenric's own, and neither of them knew what to say. Cenric stared for an uncomfortably long time, the locker room still somehow empty but for the two of them, before the dragon was the first to break their gaze, looking to the right. He parted his lips to speak, but couldn't find the words-- thankfully, however, he didn't have to. When he looked back, Seb was already turning his head towards the cock, and the reptile's fingers curled against Cenric's thick thigh as his lips brushed with the side of the man's twitching cock. Cenric sighed quietly past his parted lips and Seb relaxed a little, resting on his heels as his mouth ran up the length of the member, reaching towards the tip. He hesitated, no longer than a few breaths, before his hands started to move. One snaked all the way up Cenric's inner leg, and Seb tentatively brushed the back of his hand against the dragon's weighty balls, before his other hand withdrew and lifted up, curling confidently around the base of that swelling cock.

A groan of delight ripped through the dragon's throat as Seb stuck out his tongue, coiling the long and slender appendage around the dragon's pulsing meat. Cenric's body instantly reacted to the warmth of such a thing by throbbing to full mast, an impressive 10 inches of cock eager for more. Seb's fingers flexed around the base of the cock as his other hand gently rose and fell, cradling and exploring the hefty sack beneath. He cupped those ample orbs against his palm and rolled them around with his fingers as he parted his lips, opening them wider and wider and allowing the length of Cenric's cock to slide into his mouth, encouraged by the snaking tongue that invited him.

"S-Seb..." Cenric began sheepishly, unsure what to say, but his stammering word and the vivid twitching of his cock made it clear he was enjoying it. Seb's gaze briefly flicked up to look at the man's face, before he closed his eyes and pushed, suddenly taking more of the cock than Cenric was expected. The rush of pleasure that came from a warm maw clamped down around every inch of his cock was immeasurable, even more so when his member probed into the back of the reptile's throat and slid down. The squeezing of the reptile's throat coaxed a thick, needy glob of pre-cum from the dragon's tip and Cenric gasped under his breath, quivering on the spot. He was putty in Seb's hands, unable to take the reigns...but somehow, he didn't mind-- in fact, he wanted it.

Seb pulled back, all the way to the tip, as his tongue uncurled from around the cock and nestled along the underside, acting as some kind of cradle for the man's throbbing cock. His hand slid up the spit-covered length and tugged, peeling back the foreskin to reveal the head of the humanoid member in its entirety, and that mere act alone elicited another drip of pre-seed from the tip, the head swelling eagerly as blood surged through his ample muscle. The light stroking of his balls only added to it, and Cenric watched as Seb bowed again, plunging all the way to the base one more, until his snout pressed firmly against the man's pelvis. That tight squeezing caused the dragon's cock to twitch and spasm, and a fierce mass formed in Cenric's loins from two deepthroating bobs alone-- he shouldn't be surprised, considering how little he's been masturbating lately, but still...he was a little embarrassed at how quickly he wanted to cum.

"Hey, Seb, slow down...I'm about to b--" Cenric warned, but Seb seemed to want him to orgasm as quickly as possible, or maybe he just didn't care. Despite the dragon's warning words, Seb pulled back barely a few inches and pushed down, before rising and falling again, abruptly bobbing at a rapid, pleasurable pace. Mere moments later, Cenric felt himself on the brink, and his body urged him to grab that reptile's head and push him down, but he resisted. He instead kept his arms by his sides and curled his hands into fists, his chest heaving and his breath came out in a mixture of sucking, breathing gasps and harsh little grunts and groans.

"Oh fuck..." All the tension in his body loosened at once, accentuated by his words, as he let out a long and happy sigh. The knot that had formed in his body unfurled like a snake and spread across to every limb, making his scales tingle with delight as Seb pushed down, plunging all the way to the base for a final time. Cenric's cock throbbed powerfully inside the reptile's throat, spurting thick ropes of cum right down into his stomach, as Seb's tunnel squeezed and instinctively gulped, or at least tried to. As Cenric climaxed, he felt a wetness against his left foot, but couldn't quite see what it was-- he guessed he would find out, in time.

Cenric panted quietly, closing his eyes and relishing the sensation for a moment, before the padding of incoming footsteps caused him to snap his eyes open. He looked down and back up at the corridor that led from the gym to the locker room, with no door to speak of, and he gritted his teeth. He reached down, instinctively grasping the reptile's head and pulling him back off his cock-- his length was coated in a glistening film of spit, but that didn't matter. He withdrew Seb from his member completely and turned, stepping away from Seb before someone got the wrong idea of what they were doing there. He didn't mean for it to look or sound homophobic-- quite the contrary, he wanted it to continue...but he also didn't want to get banned from the gym for indecent exposure. He quickly wrapped his towel around himself just in time for Seb to get to his feet, right as someone rounded the corner into the locker room. 

The new arrival paid them no mind and went about his business, heading into the showers a few seconds later. When he started to run the water, Cenric breathed a sigh and stepped back, glancing to his right to see Seb pulling his things out of his locker, stuffing his gym clothes into the bag after retrieving his usual garments. The dragon caught sight of the reptile's half-limp, twitching member and looked down towards his feet, spotting the strands of off-white fluid splattered along the top of his left foot.

"Wow," Cenric muttered and he glanced to Seb from the side. "...Just like that? From that alone?"

Seb, at first, ignored him, before glancing towards him with a mixture of a sheepish smile and a steely gaze. Cenric could see he was irked and guessed what it was about.

"Hey, uh," He continued with a mutter, not wanting the showering person to overhear. "Look, sorry for just pulling you off and avoiding you like that. I couldn't tell if it was one of the staff or some other dude...and this is the only place I have a membership with."

"Oh...right." Seb looked a little relieved and Cenric felt embarrassed, rubbing the back of his neck. He removed his towel and hiked his leg up to dry off his paw, before reaching for his own bag inside the open locker.

"You..." Cenric began awkwardly. "You wanna go get some coffee?"

"And then go back to your place for a movie?" Seb continued with a cheeky grin, and Cenric felt even more embarrassed.

"O...One step at a time, Seb," He insisted. "This is kind of new to me. So was that, too."

"I'm just messing with you," Seb nudged his side and then hesitated, looking down at his hands. "But...you liked it, right?"

"Well..." Cenric trailed off. "...Yeah, I did."

"Then let's take it slow," Seb assured him with a sideways glance. "I mean, if you, you know...want to try dating a dude."

"Hell, any guy that can make me nut like that is worth checking out, right?" Cenric joked, but Seb's expression made him feel as if he'd hit a nerve. "...But it's more than that, I know. I just...have to navigate things, you know? Figure stuff out."

He wanted to say more, but the sound of the shower had turned off, encouraging him to get dressed before things became too awkward. He wasn't lying when he said he had things to figure out, but he was confident that he'd reach a conclusion eventually...and hopefully for the better, if Seb's eagerness was anything to go by.

After getting dressed, the two of them headed out, to new horizons and potentially newer feelings.
