[Fiction] Adventure Abroad [MxM]

[Saphir]

Reading all this awesome stories on here, I couldn't resist giving it a try aswell.
The story itself, the plot, is fiction, but I'll try to keep it as real as possible. The personalities of my characters are loosely based on people I know. So the way the characters act is based on real people however their sexual orientation (and possibly some other details) isn't always fact

The story will be mainly, if not only be [MxM], so if you don't like that, don't complain about it.

Oh and... yea, I know it's a long, boring introduction, but I believe you can do it! :P
The next chapter will be more interesting!

Enjoy!


Adventure Abroad - Chapter 1

As he walked down the hall, the sound of the people talking was harsh. Not as harsh as he had imagined it to be, but still the voices around him sounded strange and unfamiliar, just as he felt here. Noises echoed through the hall.

The flight had been long and he had just woken up and felt absolutely exhausted. He looked around and saw young men and women hugging, happy to see each other again. Still standing there and realizing his new situation, he slowly picked up his suitcase.

“Chad, come on, we ain't gonna wait forever.” Would his brother ever stop annoying him? He rolled his eyes and went after his family towards the airport's entrance.


A few days later
“Good luck.” They've never gotten along with each other, but now Chad and his brother stood next to each other and wished each other the best. Both of them were kind of scared of the things to come. “That is all we got, let's make the best out of it.” With these words, Chad walked towards the school building, his brother close behind him.

Chad wasn't happy at all. His parents seemed to just not care about him, nor about his brother. They decided to move over here for his dad's job. He didn't speak any German at all, had to deal with a new home, new people around him and whatnot.

Even if he made some friends over here, he would have to give them up after the year, as his parent's weren't going to stay here for too long. Additionally, he would lose another year of his life in school, because he had no chance to keep the pace with his classmates back home.

Actually, there was no point in going to school here, because he didn't understand anything anyways. But his dad said he had to and there was no international school nearby, so he should just try to learn some German at least.

Considering this, he became very unmotivated. It was just not fair.

They reached the teacher's room and knocked on the door. An old man opened the door. “You are probably Chad and Craig.” He smiled at them. “Welcome to our school. I'm Mr. Krone.”

They followed Mr. Krone through the hallway while he explained to them that each of them were going to be given a fellow student. They’d join their respective student through his courses instead of selecting their own courses because they didn’t understand any German yet. This was so that they had someone who helped them if they had any problems. But of course they could always come to him, as well, if there was anything wrong.

Finally they stopped at some door and Mr Krone entered the room with Craig. After introducing Craig and some other stuff, he came out again and continued to Chad’s class. Chad wondered whether Mr. Krone’s English, which was totally fluent, was average for Germans. “Nah, I’m just the teacher for Physical Education and English, that’s why. Most people you will meet here will be able to communicate, but don’t expect too much.”

As they finally arrived at Chad’s classroom, he felt kind of shaky.
“Are you ready?”
“Yep.” Chad actually didn’t feel ready.

They entered the room. The first thing Chad noticed, was the pretty small amount of students in the room. Only 16 students were there, about half of the amount some of his courses had at home. The students were about the same age as he was. Looking at the board, Chad could see that he was in Math.

“This is Chad, he’s from North Carolina and will join our school for about a year. He doesn’t speak any German, and just moved here, so be nice to him.”

The teacher pointed at some guy in the last row and said: “That’s Tim. You’ll join his courses and he’ll help you if you got any questions.”
Tim stood up and smiled at him. “Hey Chad, how are you doing?”

Chad expected a lot when he was flying to Germany. That it would be boring, that he wouldn’t understand a word. That he would spend a year in a school with people he didn’t know and who he’d anyways leave after that year. The only good thing he had actually heard about Germany was that you had way more freedom as a teenager there. He didn’t even know whether that was true or not.

But right before him was the hottest guy he’d seen in a long time. Tim’s body was athletic. His smooth brown hair was the perfect length, not too long, but not too short. He wore shorts and a shirt of some band he did not know. His skin was lightly tanned and his face was smooth.

“I’m fine, thank you.” Chad walked over to him and sat down. The teacher continued the lesson. Chad didn’t understand a word, but that didn’t bother him, since he was busy checking out Tim.

They didn’t talk until the lesson was over. A loud bell startled him while he was staring at Tim writing. The teacher finished the lesson and they went down to the school yard.

“Chad, Why are you over here in Germany?”
“Well, my dad had to move here for his work, I won’t be staying long though.”
“Ah okay, and you like it so far?”
“Well, it’s getting better, I wasn’t very thrilled in the beginning.”

The conversation went on and they hung out in the schoolyard. Chad saw his little brother playing ping-pong with some other students and noticed that there were some quite young students in the schoolyard. The youngest were probably about ten or eleven. He wondered whether he’d actually learn enough German to understand people around him. A question cut his thoughts off.

“What are you doing this weekend, any plans yet?”
Chad’s heart made a little jump. “Well, I have nothing to do, what about you?”
“I’m gonna party a bit with some friends, you could join... if you want?”
“Of course, I would love to. Better than hanging around home. Could we meet somewhere? I mean, I don’t know this city at all.”
“Yeah, you could just join me after school on Friday.”

For some reason, Chad knew this weekend was going to be fun.

Thank you all for your nice comments. I really appreciate it!

Thank you again for your comments and everything!

Love <3

[daremaster 1]

Wow, you are a amazing wrighter.

[alex987]

Ok so first of all I really like the references to how different the US and Germany are. Especially the reference to streets and the way cities are set up was cool.
Also the German names are awesome!
This story sounds like it's going somewhere nice
Also, your English is great, especially considering it's not your mother tongue.
Mach weiter so!
<3

[Saphir]

First I want to say, I'm sorry for anybody who thought this was the 3rd Chapter. <3

I am so happy about all your comments! I really appreciate it. And keep them coming! :P

@slugger: I'll try my best. :P I'm not sury in how far other MxM stories are 'just the same than the others' or original, so I can't really promise. But I'll try my best and tell my own story ;D

@alex:
Vielen Dank! <3
If you know any other differences, just tell me. :P You surely know more and better than I do. :P

I'll try to post the next chapter within the next days. I've got about 1/3 done but school kinda keeps me busy. :s

Love

[ursoweird123]

I have returned ! Great update!!! However, I think I might have to help you with corrections because obviously you asked James for advice which was stupid because he speaks the incorrect form of our language . Sorry I couldn't help, but I'm back.

Love you!
Chad

[Saphir]

Hey everybody!

Finally the third chapter is written and edited. A big thanks to Chad, James and Carl for editing and the getdare Chat (in particular Leo) for helping me with a very annoying sentence!

If you got any questions about further detail, logic and in how far things in the story fit with reality or anything, feel free to ask.

I'd really appreciate your comments, criticism, guesses about what is to come in the next part, and what not.

This chapter is dedicated to Chad. I'm so happy that you're back! <3

Enjoy!


Chapter 3

"Hey Tim! And hi Chad." A blond guy, presumably Jan, opened the door. He hugged Tim and shook hands with Chad. He was just as tall as Tim and Chad and although he was neither athletic, nor fat, but just an average guy, he had quite a handsome face. Chad had seen him a couple of times in school, but he didn't know that Tim and him were close.

"What are you waiting for, the party has already started!" called Chris, while he was already going up the stairwell. They followed him into the flat, hearing Bob Marley singing loudly about the Buffalo Soldier in the stairwell already.

The flat was rather small, but cosy. They went to the living room where another guy was mixing a Tequila Sunrise and smoking Hookah. In the background he noticed some movie running on the TV.

"That's Jonathan, that's Chad." Tim introduced. Chad had already seen Jonathan a couple of times before, as they had some courses in school together. He was blond and a rather tall and skinny guy.

The coffee table, which wasn't small at all, was fully covered with various juices, beer, glasses and various liquors. Probably enough alcohol to keep everybody in here a whole week drunken.

"Hey Chad, what's going on? You want something to drink?" Jonathan said, while concentrating on filling grenadine in his glass. "Sure." said Chad and dropped next to Tim on the couch. Just after Jonathan had filled another glass with Tequila, orange juice and grenadine, a small, orange-brown haired girl, probably about 16, entered the room and sat down partly next, partly on Jonathan. "Hey Chad, I'm Steffi, Tim already told me about you." she smiled at him.

"Hey, nice to meet you." Chad replied and smiled back.

Jan turned the music down a bit and took a seat on Tim's other side. Then he held out the hookah hose in offer.

"Thanks but no thanks, I don't like smoking."

"Oh, I didn't know. I hope you don't mind us smoking?"Jan said concerned.

It didn't bother Chad that much and he didn't want to cause problems just after arriving on his first party in Germany. "It's fine, I just don't feel like smoking."

He leaned back and started drinking his cocktail. It tasted nice and one could hardly taste the alcohol in it. He could probably drink a couple of them before he would feel any affects of the alcohol.

Toby, Tim and Jan started chatting about people he didn't know and the last weekend. Due to Toby's horrible English they quickly switched over to German, with the result being that he didn't understand anything.

Having finished his first cocktail, he took his first beer and tried to twist off the crown cork. It didn't work at all.

"What the hell are you trying?" Tim said laughing. Jan and Toby looked over and started laughing as well. Tim smiled at him. "You look like you got power in your arms, but it's not going to be enough for that.
"I didn't know, I'm used to twist-offs" Chad blushed hard.

"There are twist-off caps for beer bottles? Tim asked surprised. "Weird imagination. But well. Give me the bottle, I'll open it for you."

Chad handed over the beer and Tim took the closest bottle he could grab, a Licor 43, and levered the cap of.

The conversation went on, mostly in German, so he couldn't quite follow. He sat back on the couch. There had been less space on the couch before, but now it seemed that Tim had leant even closer to him. Did he do that to get closer to him or had Jan just taken his chance to get more space on the couch when they were busy with the beer? Chad didn't know, yet just enjoyed the touch of their arms and shoulders as they brushed together.

Not being able to follow the conversation Chad contemplated his time in Germany. He expected the worst, most boring year of his life when he was coming over and now, just after a week he was sitting in some flat with a couple of funny people getting trashed. The Germans he learnt to know seemed to be cool and open-minded. And totally hot, at least the ones he hung out with.

He looked over to the other couch. Steffi was getting closer and closer to Jonathan and seemed to try to make out with him. She caressed him and then and now kissed him but he mostly just sat there and seemed to not really care. Of course, he kissed her back, and he didn't look like he didn't like it, but it rather seemed like she did everything and he just waited for it to happen.

Either he's totally drunk, or not interested in girls. Or both. Chad wasn't sure. He however started to feel a bit disorientated.

Watching them kind of made him horny and he started to imagine making out with Tim.

"How about a drinking game?" Tim's suggestion startled him out of his thoughts.

"Of course, why not." Chad said. Toby seemed to be as delighted as one could be and suggested to play circle of death. Jonathan and Steffi seemed to be busy making out, but didn't complain and Jan had already gotten a deck of cards.

While Jan was shuffling the cards, Tim explained the game to Chad. The rules were very similar to the ones of Kings.

After some games everybody was kind of drunk, some more, some less. Chad had quite a bit of luck during the game. Only thinking of the amounts that Jan and Toby had been drinking, not only because of the game but also drinking extra when they felt like it, made him feel like puking. They seemed to have fun though.

They are probably way more used to it, Chad thought. It was approximately midnight when they finished their last game. Toby stood up. “Goodnight, we see us. I go now home.”

Wow, his English gets even worse when he’s drunk, Chad thought.

Toby left the room and started putting on his shoes and coat.
“Is he going to drive back that drunken?” Chad asked showing concern.

“No worries, of course not. He’ll walk. He has to leave because he has to get up early tomorrow. And he can’t drive in six hours either.” Tim replied and stood up. He opened the window for some oxygen and cold air to come in. The smell and the cool blow of the summer air made Chad instantly feel a bit more sober. Toby left the flat and Jan turned the music down a bit so the neighbors wouldn’t complain.

Jonathan and Steffi, who were sitting in some kind of hug and seemed to be tired, started looking around disturbed. “It’s cold, go away!” Jonathan complained, more tired than anything else. As nobody made a move to close the window after 15 seconds, Jonathan and Steffi stood up. “We’ll go over to Jan’s room and watch a movie.”

They left together with Jan, who joined them to turn on The Hangover. When he came back he closed the door, sat down and started making drinks for him, Jan and Chad.
“Could you make a Batida de coco with cherry juice for me?” Tim asked.
“Cuba Libre for me, please.” Chad stated to Jan.

“Here we go.” Chris said, handing over the cocktails some minutes later.

They leaned back and enjoyed their drinks a lot.

“Well, it’s only the three of us... What about playing another game?” Tim suggested.

“Which one.” Chad asked. During the party he had given up almost every single bit of his hope that something, at least a little bit, with Tim and him would happen tonight. But now his hopes grew high again.

“Well,” Tim said, “how about a game of Truth or Dare...?”
