Neck Deep

James reclined casually in one of his college’s library seats, book held in his hands as his eyes scanned over the lines of text they presented. The chair was comfortable, if not a little worn on the covers at the arms, a sign of the colleges struggling budget, he guessed. He had been at this college for only a couple of weeks and things were odd in comparison to his last college. Everything was samey, the attitude of the teachers, the general sense that the building was on the verge of falling apart but would likely see another twenty years of service before any major renovation, the food, but it wasn’t that which stood out to James.

No, it was the people. While they too were similar, forming similar social cliques as he had seen all his life, the sporty groups, the intelligent groups, the cheerleading squads and such, it was the fact that during his couple of weeks already here he had comprehensively failed to integrate himself into any of them, really.

For James this was a real oddity, he was at heart a people person. He loved meeting new people, he loved making new friends but for some reason everyone he talked to here just sort of shrugged him off, albeit politely. It was an oddity he really couldn’t put his finger on it.

He considered himself to be quite kind, friendly and from the feedback he’d received at his old college, not unattractive. In fact with his time spent on the swimming team resulting in his body being fit and lean, combined with his boyish charm, dark eyes, black hair and attractive features he had been very popular with the girls. Here, though, they didn’t look at him twice.

Except for two girls, the only friends he’d managed to make.

He looked up from his book as a pair of bags were set down on his otherwise vacant table, he smiled, recognizing the pair, Brittany, and Katie, the red haired pair of twins who had become his only source of social interaction so far.

“Hey!” Brittany opened, her voice soft and melodic, pulling out a chair to sit herself down at the table beside her sister and James, her full red lips curled upwards into a charming smile.

“Hey~” Katie mimicked, taking the third and final spot at the round table, opening up her book bag and taking out a text book.

The pair of them were simply gorgeous, near identical, cheerleaders both and incredibly attractive. They both sported almost perfect athletic figures. They had recently confided in James that their cheerleading coach had lamented that the two girls had developed so well in their womanhood, their full DD breasts and wide womanly hips hindering their progress in their squad, though James had found it difficult to be sympathetic.

“Hey Brittany, Katie, what’re you doing here?” he asked with a smile addressing them each by name, while he was clearly pleased to see the two of them they usually spent their lunch break in the company of their gaggle of friends. The twins were incredibly popular among the other girls. Though, other boys seemed to avoid them, which seemed odd to James, given how beautiful they were.

Katie glanced across to Brittany who flicked her long red hair back over her shoulders, offering another golden smile as she shrugged slightly. “Well, we found out you’ve been spending your lunches secluded in the library! We couldn’t just let you sit here all alone..” he pouted cutely.

James smiled again and set his book down, looking across at the twins, admiring their features, warm gorgeous smiles, lush red hair and bright blue eyes. “Aww, that’s really sweet of you. You don’t have to though, I know how little time you get to spend with the girls.”

Katie giggled a little, reaching across to pat him familiarly on one hand, her skin soft and warm. “Don’t be so dismissive Jay, you’re practically one of the girls!”

He smiled some, grateful for her words, though he knew it wasn’t true. Despite being so ‘in’ with Katie and Brittany, the other girls in the college, even those in the twins own friendship clique avoided him.

“So uh.. You two having a good day?” he asked, resting his elbows on the table and glancing between the pair of them.

For most it was hard to tell the twins apart, Brittany and Katie looked virtually identical, kept their hair the same, dressed similarly and even acted very similar. It had taken a couple of days of knowing the pair for him to be able to spot the difference. The girls had a light smattering of freckles under their eyes and across the bridge of their noses, so light in color that they almost blended in with their pale porcelain skin. It had taken a little bit but James had learned to read the girls freckles like the stars in the sky, each having a slightly unique pattern.

He, in part, suspected that it was his ability to tell the girls apart with ease, something that even their closest of friends often failed to do, that had endeared him to them so quickly. They just seemed to love that he recognized their individuality, seeming them individually as Brittany and Katie, not just the twins everyone else saw.

Brittany shrugged a little again, crossing her legs modestly as she reclined, a soft sigh escaping her lips. “It’s not been great..”

James frowned slightly, looking across at Katie with concern written across his face, noticing that, she too, was a little bit more demure than they often were. The pair of them were usually all bright and bubbly, seeing the two of them look even a little bit down was new to him.

“Is.. It anything I can help with?” he offered, the genuine concern for them clear as day in his voice.

Katie bit her lip some, looking thoughtful then she shook her head some, “Thanks, Jay.. But I don’t think so. Our parents are out tonight and we invited a few of the girls around, you know for a girly night! Wine, movies, girl-talk, you know. Sleepover stuff! But..”

Brittany huffed a little. “But for one reason or another, they’ve all flaked. So now it’s just me and sis.” She glanced sidelong at Katie, a little smirk touching her features. “I mean, not that that’s a bad thing! But you know. It’s no sleepover.”

James folded his arms a little and nodded, sympathetic in his body language and expression, feeling a little bad for them. “I know how you feel.. I haven’t even had anyone around at mine since I moved here.”

Brittany tilted her head some and shared a glance with Katie, the two of them perking up slightly and looking a little more attentive for some reason. “I mean.. He is one of the girls..”

Katie looked uncertain, “Well sure but.. He won’t like the stuff we do.. One of the girls but.. Wine, movies and girl chat?”

Brittany shook her head, “You’re right.. That wouldn’t work at all.. But.. I really don’t want to miss out on the opportunity of a free house.”

“It could be fun?..”

“Um..” They both looked towards James as he spoke, curious. “..I can do girl talk?”

The two girls grinned a little, playful.

Katie leaned back in her chair, twirling a length of her hair through her fingers as she put on a sweet, teasing tone. “Oooh? And drink wine? And watch girly romance films? And do each other’s hair? Pillow fight? Talk about boys?”

James shrugged a little, putting on a winning smile of his own. “If it means I get to spend more time with the two of you, sure.”

Katie laughed some at that and nudged him with her foot under the table, “Ooh smooth talker. I bet you just want to see Brittany in her PJ’s, you know she just wears a T-shirt to bed right?”

Brittany gasped, her pale cheeks flushing crimson in embarrassment as she punched a giggling Katie gently in the arm, “Katie!! Don’t tell him that!”

James laughed too and rubbed the back of his neck with his hand, even Brittany ended up smiling, albeit a little shyly.

“Okay okay.. Let’s all laugh at Brittany times over..” Brittany huffed, taking a deep breath to try and will away her embarrassment, “Do you want to come across tonight or not Jay?”

He put on the charade of thinking for a moment, not wanting to seem overly eager, but then with a shrug, nodded once, “Mm, sure! It’ll be fun right? I’ve never been to a slumber party before..” he said with a smirk.

Katie and Brittany both at once seemed to brighten up, Katie speaking excitedly, “Wait really? You wouldn’t mind the soppy movies, the girl chat, and the whole thing?”

“Hey, I’m one of the girls right? You’ve got to teach me how to be one.” he laughed, joking.

Brittany’s smirk deepened a little and she glanced sideways at her sister, nodding in agreement, “True, we’ll have to teach you how to be one of the girls. This is going to be so much fun!”

James smiled brightly and leaned back in his chair. That couldn’t have gone better if he tried. Not only had he cheered the pair of them up, but he had legitimately scored a night with two of the hottest girls in his college, though he knew they had friend-zoned the fuck out of him, he really didn’t mind that in the least. They were a lovely pair of girls, and despite the fact that they were the only two people in the whole College to pay him even the slightest piece of attention, he didn’t think he could’ve scored two nicer, more beautiful friends.

Katie nodded, her bright and bubbliness returned to her, “I just can’t wait, what’re we going to watch do you think?” she asked her sister, her beautiful blue eyes wide and excited.

The two started to talk about a whole multitude of films that James had only ever heard about in passing, he glanced, mystified between them and pulled out his phone, checking the time with a casual glance.

“Ah.. I have to get going to one of my classes but er.. I’ll come across to yours tonight, yeah?” He said, smiling warmly as he started to pack his things into his bag.

“Hm? Oh!” Katie nodded, “Yeah I’ll text you our address okay? Six sounds good?”

“Sounds goods!” He confirmed, standing and pulling his bag over one shoulder, “I’ll see you both tonight then.”

He waved and turned to leave, both of the girls glancing down, biting their lips as they watched his ass as he walked. Fit and athletic, his boy-butt drawing their attention as it had the first time they’d seen him on his first day.

The pair sat in silence as he walked away, waiting until he was well out of earshot before speaking again.

“..I can’t believe that worked..” Brittany smirked, looking across to Katie with excitement.

“Oh my gosh.. I know! He’s so sweet!! Are we having any issues with the girls?”

Brittany shook her head, “Pff.. Nothing I haven’t sorted. I heard the girls saying how Helen was thinking of asking him out but I spoke to her.. She knows to leave off. Everyone knows he’s ours.”

Katie bit her lip and giggled, practically bouncing in her chair. “Fuck. Yes. I can’t believe our luck! Who’d have thought the new boy would be so hot? Tonight is going to be the best..” she held up her fist to Brittany who bumped it, casually.

James checked himself out in the self-camera of his phone as he walked down the street towards their house, he wasn’t planning on doing anything or trying for anything with them, after all, he knew that if he made a play for either Brittany or Katie he would alienate the other, potentially losing a friend and even worse, potentially driving a wedge between the two girls, but he still wanted to look his best for them.

Not that it mattered, they weren’t even interested in him outside of the limits of friendship, which, he supposed, worked out for him. A pair of close friends was far more valuable to him as it stood.

He glanced up at the door in front of him, tucking his phone way in his pocket and checking the number of the house against the one in his memory. Satisfied, he knocked on the door and waited.

It took a few moments but he eventually heard movement on the other side of the door, a hesitation, as he assumed whoever was on the other side checked the peephole, then the door opened.

He blinked in surprise at the sight before him, Brittany, he could tell from her freckles, dressed far more casually than he had ever seen her. Dressed in a loose, low cut tank top and equally loose shorts she looked stunning with her long pale legs on display, feet bare and smile wide. The low cut top displaying more than a fair portion of her impressive and enticing cleavage.

“Hey, Brittany! Found you easy enough.” he said with a smile.

Brittany brightened up noticeably as he used her name, a slight warm hue coming to her cheeks. She absolutely adored being recognized, it seemed. “Come in Jay! We were just getting comfy!”

He laughed a little and stepped inside, kicking off his shoes and putting them to one side. Stood side by side with Brittany, he stood about on par with her in terms of height, he was quite glad in fact that the pair of them seemed opposed to high heels, else he would constantly feel small around them.

“So I see! I feel overdressed.” he laughed as she shut the door behind him, locking it behind him.

She smirked and twirled lithely, as if modeling a fine dress and not a loose set of PJ’s, the only thing holding her shorts on as she did so the impressive flare of her hips. “You like it?”

He watched her move, watching as her full breasts bounced enticingly in their loose confines, not held up or supported by any bra, just by the perkiness of youth. It was going to be a long night of avoiding erections, it seemed.

“I wish I looked that good in a tank top.” he said with another laugh, which she joined in as she walked on through to the living room.

Inside they had really made themselves comfortable, seemingly gathering every blanket, quilt, sheet, and pillow in the house to create a soft sort of pillow hole between the couches that they had surrounded with snacks, drinks, accessories, and a big ass TV.

Katie was splayed out on the layers of pillows and quilts on the floor, wearing the same ensemble as her sister, the loose tank top draped across her skin, the flow of its fabric betraying her lack of a bra as it seemingly caught on her pert nipples.

James tried his best not to notice as he smiled, the girl springing up to give him a hug!

He laughed softly and put his arms around her, giving her a friendly hug, feeling the warmth of her body against his through the thin fabric of their clothes, feeling the softness of her full breasts squish up against his chest as they embraced.

“I’m so glad you’re here!!” she gushed, grinning as she flopped to sit back on their makeshift soft mattressy fort, her breasts bouncing enticingly as she sat.
