The Trick Is To Keep Breathing

Chapter I

Kyle Hemstad turned on his two big photography light boxes that surrounded his table in his office. When the boxes were lit, Kyle mounted his Nikon digital S.L.R. camera onto a tripod, attached an Aputure digital monitor to the top of the camera, and hooked up a microphone to the camera which hung off the ceiling fan.

In the stool behind his desk, Kyle looked at himself in the monitor. He used his fingers to part his freshly washed medium-length brown hair to the left, and tucked it all behind his ears. Then he closed his cognac brown eyes and rubbed the sleep out of them.

Kyle hit the shutter button and the camera began recording. So Kyle snapped his fingers, making a sufficient sound marker.

"Hey, guys!" Kyle's deep voice said chipperly to the camera lens. "Welcome back to my channel, Kyle Beauty, where I give you all the tips, tricks, lessons, products, and reviews on all things beauty. Today I- blah blah blah.
"Hey, guys! What is the haps, Internet fam! Welcome back to my channel, Kyle Beauty, where I give you all the tips, tricks, lessons, products, and reviews on all things beauty.
"Yesterday I asked you guys to send me questions through Snapchat so that I could film a Q and A while glamming up in this unedited video. Today, I will be using all drugstore makeup to give you all ideas for super affordable products that give you a flawless look and last all day that won't empty your bank account. Before I begin, I would like too point out that this video is in no way sponsored. I bought all the products that I will be using myself. No company has paid me nor will any pay me regarding this video. Let's get started.
"First, I'll prime my face using Nyx's Shine Killer, which you can buy for $14. First question."

Some teen girl's Snap video showed up, "Hi, Kyle! I'm new to your channels, just subscribed last week! My question is, how is a guy as attractive and as outgoing as you single?"

Kyle laughed softly while applying the aforementioned makeup primer to his face, and answered, "One, attraction is an opinion so I don't think I'm anything special. You're new to my channels, so you may not know that I've said that a couple of times. Not that I don't appreciate the compliments. Two, I'm not as exuberant in real life. Three, my confidence scares weak men.
"Okay, now that my face is primed, I'm gonna take this L.A. Girl sponge that you can get for $6. It's nice and damp, see? Now I'm going to put two pumps of this Wet a' Wild Photo Focus foundation onto my hand. This ounce bottle of foundation retails for just $6! $6! Anyway, next question."

"Hey, Kyle," another girl said on Snapchat. "Hello, my name is Hannah and my question is, how did you start makeup?"

While dabbing foundation onto his face with the makeup sponge, Kyle answered, "I've answered this question before, but I'm happy to answer for new subscribers. Back in my hometown of Portland, Oregon, I started earning my own spending money when I was fourteen by mowing lawns, shovelling snow from lawns and driveways, and babysitting. Growing up, I always knew about my sexuality and am always very open about it. I have always loved reading magazines like Vanity Fair, Elle, Vogue, etcetera. I loved seeing the flawless looks of the models and editorials, and got my first glam makeover at MAC. I loved it all, bought all of my first makeup right there and then, and got lessons from watching Tati Westbrook, Jacklyn Hill, Nitraa B, and Manny MUA.
"Okay, next is concealer. I have here Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind that is both amazing and very cost efficient at $9 a tube. I am going to dot this under my eyes, between my brows, and on my chin. Next question.."

"Hi, Kyle!" a young black man's Snap video greeted. "I'm Tyrese and I've been in love with your videos for almost two years! What, in your opinion, is the biggest no no for anyone to do with makeup?"

While dabbing the concealer under his eyes with the sponge, Kyle answered, "Well, Kyle, my biggest pet peeve in regards to makeup is when people do their dark contours too dark and their lighter too light. This is done when they don't blend the contouring lines well enough, and the lines look harsh and overly fake. If you are new to makeup, then this is understandable. I have videos on proper methods of contouring that I'll link down in the description box for you newbies. Beauty gurus like Tati, Manny, etcetera, have videos on this as well.
"Okay, now that my concealer is blended in nicely, it is time to set it with powder. This can of Coty Airspun powder sells for just $6 and it is such a big can. You are getting a lot of product that, in my humble opinion, works better than a lot of high end setting powders. Next question."

A Latino girl's Snap video said, "Hello, Kyle. I love all your drugstore product videos, especially the ones that tell us which products to avoid. Why didn't you go to the NARS 2018 launch party?"

Kyle dabbed setting powder mostly under his eyes and the leftover powder to the rest of his face as he replied, "For those of you that don't know, NARS had a launch party last week for their huge line of new products. I, and a lot of other beauty channel personalities, was invited to attend if I signed a contract. Had I signed the contract and attended the launch, NARS would have paid for my flight to Los Angeles and given me products from the whole line to review. Sounds awesome, right? Well it really wasn't. My lawyer read the non-disclosure agreement and advised that I not sign. Signing the contract would have had ramifications on my channel and, in turn, affected you guys as well. I will wait for the line to be released with regular P.R. to review it all for you guys, which is next week. For smaller channels, if you are given any sort of contracts from companies and you don't have a lawyer, feel free to get into contact with me and I would be more than happy to have my lawyer read the contract and I will forward his advice back to you.
"Okay, powder is in place and I will leave this on for fifteen minutes to bake. The time is now 7:13A.M. so I will brush it off at 7:28. Next question."

An Asian guy's Snap video said, "Kyle, I hope you choose this question because I am your biggest fan! How would you advise that I grow my hair faster?"

"Well, guys, I've been growing my hair for four months from a buzz if you remember. In these past four months, my hair has grown five inches. What I have done is not washing my hair very often. Though that may sound displeasing to some, it's really not. I shower every day, but only wash my hair every three days, and only use shampoo every seven. Now it's best to use to use organic, natural shampoo, but because I am only shampooing once a week, pretty much any shampoo is fine. If you find your hair to be greasy or gross in between washings, you can use a dry shampoo. I don't use any machines on my hair, and let it air dry. My hair naturally this wavy. On to the next question."

A blonde girl's Snap video was, "I got so excited to read your Tweet about another Q and A! Greetings from Paris. I have two questions; how old are you and what are you studying? I know you are a university student."

"I am twenty-years-old, and some of you guys may know that I am a student at New York University. But I will not tell you guys what I'm studying because it'll be a surprise. In a year or so. I know! I know that's such a long wait, but I promise it'll be worth it! I promise. Next question!"

A brown-haired girl's Snap said, "Oh, my god, I love your channel! You inspire me so much! Anyway, do you cologne, perfume, or both? If any, what's your current favourite?"

"I wear cologne," Kyle answered brightly but tried not to smile so as not to ruin his setting powder. "I have a very small collection because I am very picky with my scents. But my current fave is Yves Saint Laurent's La Nuit de L'Hommes. It's classy, timeless, and makes me feel confident."

A black girl's Snap was, "Hey, girrrrlll! Love you. For real. You up here doing your thang, girl. What's going on between you and James Charles?"

"Okay, I think she's asking why James and I don't follow each other on social media. I assure you all that there is no hate between us. We just don't follow each other. I... I nothing James Charles. No hate, no love because I've never met him in person."

Another black man's Snap said, "Yo! How's the hottie Kyle? My question is, can you recommend a good hairdresser in New York that won't charge me my kidney to bleach my hair?"

Fighting off a smile, Kyle answered, "Larion, always lovely to get your questions. You're too kind. I imagine you still live in Brooklyn, so I'll recommend Yanik at Erlanken. He does amazing work with any type of hair, especially bleaching and dying, that isn't expensive at all."

An Asian girl asked, "Hi, Kyle. I bought this tube of Essense Volume mascara from your video and it is phenomenal! What inspired you to start a beauty channel?"

"Now that the fifteen minutes are up, my face is done baking. I'll take this fluffy Sonia Kashuk brush and gently brush the excess powder off my face.
"What inspired me to start my YouTube channel was a friend of mine. In my sophomore year of high school, my friend's boyfriend was very insecure of his acne and acne scars and didn't want his school photo being taken. So I did his makeup, and my friend posted a video of it to Twitter. The video went viral, I gained thousands of followers on Instagram and Twitter, and seven months later, I posted my first video here on my channel. Now here I am four years later with four-point-two million subscribers on my beauty channel, two million followers on Instagram, and three million followers on Twitter. I can't thank you guys enough for getting me to where I am now.
"Okay, now I am going to take this bronzer from Physicians Formula to use to contour. This jar is pretty big, and can be used to darken your face if your foundation or concealer are too light. This costs just $15."

Kyle resumed filming the video while applying more makeup using inexpensive brushes. He applied brown, purple, and pink eyeshadows, and a matte nude-coloured lipstick.

"Okay," Kyle said happily. "This is the completed look using nothing but drugstore makeup. Each item costs $20 or less, and each item passes my strict requirements for long-wear makeup. If you wear a full face of glam for as long as fifteen hours like I do, you could do touchups just once a day. I'll just set my face with Make It Last setting spray from Milani, which you can buy for just $10.
"Now I have a surprise for you all! Yesterday I went to Sephora and bought three gift cards for another impromptu giveaway. I will choose the winners by flicking through the three thousand comments you guys left on Monday's video and whoever my finger lands on, send me a message on either Twitter or Instagram to claim your prize.
"And the winner of the $200 gift card is... glambeautydoll!
"The winner of the $150 gift card is... FrankyNotGrande!
"And last, but certainly not least, the winner of the $100 gift card is.... Sophia Grinlock!
"You all have until 10:00P.M. eastern daylight time tonight to send me screenshots of your YouTube account as proof that you are the winners, and I will send your gift cards in the mail. If you do not contact me by then, I will choose other winners.
"That is it for this video, guys. Thank you so much for joining me, and I hope you have an amazing day. Bye."

Kyle winked his big, gorgeous eye at the camera, and then hit the shutter button to end the recording. He took the S.D. memory card out of the camera, went over to the other desk, and inserted it into the card slot of his desktop computer. As the lone video was loading onto the computer, Kyle grabbed his cell phone off the table and opened Snapchat back up.

"What is up, Internet fam!" Kyle said brightly to the phone's camera lens. "Just got done filming this glam look and it is loading onto my computer to touch up. It'll be live in about an hour, so be sure to check it out! How do you guys like my new necklace?"

Kyle held thin brown leather lace up, displaying the anchor pendant. He loved the necklace for its simplistic yet classic look, and it hung beautifully from his neck.

"Y'all know that I am all about thriftiness and not having flashy, expensive things. I got this beaut from Aldo for just $8, and I am in love!
"And this sweater! My god. I think I've worn this sweater from Banana Republic three times this week. It's just so soft!
"Anyway, I am going to edit this video so I can film another video for Friday. And then I am going to eat some breakfast because it is currently 7:47A.M. and I have my first class at 8:30. Thankfully I live just a fifteen minute drive from campus, so it's an easy commute. Alright, check back with you guys later."

Kyle was thankful that the only editing he had to do for the first video was trimming the blooper out from the beginning of the video. He promptly began the upload to YouTube.

Once the S.D. card was back inside the camera, Kyle began filming another video.

"Hey, guys! What is the haps, Internet fam! Welcome back to my channel, Kyle Beauty, where I give you all the tips, tricks, lessons, products, and reviews on all things beauty.
"Last week, one of you asked me how I Dutch braid my short hair so good.. Well, today I will show you! I sometimes braid my hair either because it's annoying me, or because it needs to be out of my face for makeup application, or because I'm studying and can't be bothered to comb it out of my face, or simply because it makes me feel pretty. I started braiding friends' hair when I was fifteen or sixteen, and then attempted to braid my own not long after. Braiding can be done on guys as well, don't be sexist. I've braided guys' hair before, especially those that play sports and want their hair to maintenance-free. Now just let me zoom right in here, so you can see all my flaws through the makeup.
"Okay, to start, part your hair down the middle using something with a point. The end of a makeup brush, or a comb will do. Now take an inch from one side, whatever side is your dominant. Divide the lock into three equal parts, and begin the braid by tucking the outer strand under the middle. Grab the tucked strand with a finger in your other hand, and tuck the inner strand under that one. Grab the new tuck with another finger of your outer hand. Now this is where I begin grabbing more hair from the side of the braid and combine it with the new tucks. So grab some hair, combine it with the middle strand of the braid, and tuck it all under. Grab some hair from the other side, combine it with the new inner strand, and tuck it under. Grab more hair from the outer side, combine it with the new outer strand, and tuck it under. Keep doing this while coaxing the braid around your scalp."

Kyle continued to Dutch braid his brown hair into a crown down the side, around the back, and up the other side.

"Now that there is no more hair to Dutch braid, continue braiding it until you can't. Tie it off with a small elastic band, like so. Okay, now this is the most difficult part for me. Take a bobby pin, stick it into he braid tail. Now loosen one strand of the beginning of your Dutch braid, and carefully stick the bobby pin through it. Be careful, you don't want to snag your hard-earned Dutch braid. Slide the braid fail inside, and you can remove the bobby pin once the tail is lying inside the Dutch braid.
"There you have it, guys! A beautiful Dutch braid crown. You can decorate the crown using gem-crusted pins, small feathers, or even weaving bracelets through the braids!
"Alright, that is it for this video, guys. Thank you so much for joining me, and I hope you have an amazing day. Bye."

Kyle winked at the camera again, and hit the shutter button. He turned off all his equipment, and sat back down at the other desk. The computer screen told him that the first video had completed loading to his YouTube account, so Kyle turned off the computer.

Kyle walked out of his office and down the hall into the kitchen of the large apartment. He walked around the kitchen island, and stepped up to the back of Brendan Dennafort. Kyle slid his arms around Brendan's waist and pressed his forehead to the middle of Brendan's shoulder blades as the man stood five inches taller.

"You done filming?" Brendan asked kindly while scrambling eggs in a skillet.

"Mmhmm," Kyle replied before he planted a kiss to his boyfriend's skin. "First video just uploaded. Second video is filmed, but I'll edit it tonight. I'm going to check the P.O. box after classes so I can film an unboxing for my tech channel."

"Mm," Brendan nodded. "Just remember that we're going to Forrest and Claudia's for dinner at 7:00."

"Right. Forgot about that. What time do you get off work?"

"Around 4:00. I have four clients for training and then checking the books. Mind pouring us coffee? Breakfast is done."

Brendan scraped the scrambled eggs onto a single plate, and grabbed the saucer that held two slices of wheat toast with slices of avocado on them. Kyle joined him on he other side of the kitchen island with two mugs of coffee.. Kyle sat beside the redheaded man for a moment, but craved affection. Kyle sat on the countertop right in front of Brendan. Brendan smiled at the utter cuteness, and fed them both eggs with one fork.

"I love you," Brendan said with a soft voice. "I feel like I haven't said that in a week."

"We said it at least two days ago," Kyle responded, smiling softly. "And we went out on a date last night."

"Yeah but saying it is just my thing."

Kyle felt the immense endearment in Brendan's voice, he said, "I have the most affectionate boyfriend."

"Do you think you'll need help with the P.O. box?"

"I don't think so. I'm thinking to ask Wesley help me film."

"Okay," Brendan replied, bringing the two plates to the dishwasher. "I'm going grocery shopping after work. Just text me if you want me to pick up anything."

"That's fine," Kyle said softly, stepping up the redhead who was loading the dishwasher.

Brendan closed the machine and began the cycle. He straightened, and turned around in Kyle's embrace. The brunette began planting slow kisses to the redhead's neck while at the same time grazing his fingertips along Brendan's big, rock-hard pectorals.

"Haww," Brendan moaned. "What are you doing? You have school in twenty-five minutes, babe."

While kissing his way down Brendan's pale, muscular body, Kyle answered, "It takes just fifteen minutes to get to the uni. So that leaves me nine minutes to snuggle after you cum."

Brendan laughed and fired back, "Fuck you. Last week you sprayed your load after two minutes of my fucking you."

Kyle giggled, but continued to both plant sweet kisses to Brendan's sculpted abs and pull his sweat pants down. Brendan's seven inch cut dick throbbed with his heartbeat, sticking straight out of his groin. Kyle licked the thin line of red hair that traveled down to Brendan's neat pubes while grasping the rigid, thick cock.

"You're leaking already," Kyle said with a smile.

"Yeah, well, I have the most beautiful man in the galaxy touching my willy."

Kyle laughed suddenly and boisterously, and responded, "You're ridiculous."

Kyle then pressed his tongue to the head of Brendan's seven inch cock and grabbed the base of it.

"Jesus Christ," Brendan whispered, his breath going ragged.

Kyle looked up, their eyes connecting as he flicked his tongue across the piss slit.

Kyle said with meaning "I wanna leave with the taste of your cum on my breath."

Kyle deftly placed the head of Brendan's dick in his mouth and sweetly suckled on it as his hand stroked and twisted on the base.

With their eyes remaining connected, Brendan shuddered with pleasure and moaned, "Fucking fuck. Hoh Kyle."

Kyle removed the thick cock from his mouth and spit on it, lathering the entire length. He then pointed the prick up and dove into the low hanging sac.. He lapped his tongue on the two giant balls before sucking one into his mouth.

"Jesus C- fuck."

Kyle released the testicle from his mouth and planting his tongue on the base of Brendan's throbbing cock, slowly licking his way up the entire length.. When his tongue touched the underside of the head, Kyle shoved the cock in his mouth. Within a second, his nose was pressed up against the trimmed red pubes above Brendan's cock.

"Holy ffffuck," Brendan moaned as his hands gripped the counter as if his life depended on it, and his head threw back.

Kyle held still with the thickest cock he'd ever had was lodged deep down his throat. He then tilted his head back a little to look up. Brendan looked down at him, and their gazes held each other in the heat of passion.

Kyle grabbed the heavy sac and tugged the giant orbs down a little. He then slowly pulled his head away from Brendan's groin until just the head was left in his mouth. He gave his tongue a swirl around the bulbous head, and slowly swallowed the entire length again, easily.

When Kyle saw Brendan's hands grip the countertop yet even tighter, he hastened his ministrations. His head bobbed quickly and his hand stroked the shaft in twisting motions mercilessly.

Brendan was quickly reaching the point of no return. He was so turned on by the sight of Kyle's beautiful face, their eyes holding each other's gaze, the squelching sounds when his cock came out of Kyle's throat, and the feel of his balls being tugged on and rolled around in his sac.

Kyle knew by the haggard breathing of the man above him that he was close to cumming. So he sucked a little harder, tightened his grip on the base, and quickened the bobbing of his head.

"Shit, man," Brendan whispered, his face contorting in ecstasy. "I'm- I'm gonna-"

A guttural groan erupted from Brendan, deep in his throat. His brows furrowed as waves of pure pleasure rocked his body. Volley after volley of thick, sweet, salty, hot cum flooded Kyle's mouth. Kyle loved it. He savoured it. He swallowed as quickly as he could. Brendan blew such a huge load like he always did.

"Oh my-" Brendan groaned, his cock having become overly sensitive.

Kyle swallowed the last mouthful of cum very slowly, relishing in every last drop. He then used his mouth as a vacuum, searching for little remnant of cum from the large phallus in his mouth. Brendan bucked, his cock much too sensitive. But this did not deter Kyle, who swirled his tongue around Brendan yet again.

Brendan laughed, his body still convulsing due to his aching phallus. "Stop. Stop. Please."

Kyle, smirking happily, stood and gave Brendan a sloppy kiss. Brendan then laid his forehead to Kyle's shoulder, spent, and laughed softly.

Looking down at Brendan's throbbing, red dick, Kyle said, "Your beautiful dick has smears of pink from my lipstick. Wait here, I'll get micellar water."

While the brunette was wiping he lipstick off Brendan's half-hard cock, the redhead asked, "Can I suck your dick, too?"

"Can't," Kyle answered regretfully. "I have to touchup my lips and eyes. But tonight, I am going to draw a bath, where I want you to fuck yourself on my cock. Raw."

Brendan, hungry, surged forward. He bent his neck downward and smashed their lips together. They kissed passionately, heatedly, messily. But Kyle tore his lips away, bent down, and pulled Brendan's sweat pants up from his ankles.

Twenty minutes later, Kyle was walking from his Cadillac Escalade to N.Y.U.'s arts and sciences building when he said to his Snapchat, "Hey again, guys. New video has been online for about forty minutes, so be sure to check that out if you haven't already. Just wanted to show you all the completed look in natural light. It hasn't been an hour since I applied this, so I can't give you guys a proper check-in for this makeup. Just thought I'd show you the look in natural light. As you can see, the eyeshadows have a lot pigmentation and it all holds together so well.
"Well, the time is 8:26A.M. here in New York and my first class begins in four minutes. Check in with you guys again later. Bye!"

Another seven hours later, after loading over a dozen packages from the post office, Kyle said to his Snapchat, "Hello again! It's me, Napoleon. Hahahaha! Check this out. Just checked the P.O. box with Wes so I can film a tech unboxing for Saturday's video on my tech channel. So be sure to check it out then.
"Anyway, time for a makeup check-in, yeah? So my face has been on for just over eight hours, most of which was spent in the classrooms of N.Y.U. and it's honestly not that bad. My face is a bit dewy, and has a bit of shine. Which is normal, especially for drugstore products, for having it on for this long. But my foundation and concealer have no cracking whatsoever, but my contour and blush have faded a little. Eyeshadow is holding up really nicely, and lipstick is a bit tacky but that's because I ate a slice of homemade lasagne for lunch. Usually, at this time of the day I'd be touching up my face but I'm not this time because I will touch it up right before filming. Okay, I will see you guys again later."

Wesley Tomlin was sitting in the passenger seat of Kyle's S.U.V. when the brunette got back into the driver seat. The two went to a Blue Bottle Coffee and bought coffees from the drive-thru.

Back at Kyle's apartment office, the two young men unlocked the wooden legs of the filming desk and propped it against the wall.

Both were sitting on the floor in front of a wall of packages with the two light boxes lit and the camera and microphone recording. Kyle snapped his fingers as a sound marker, which never failed to amuse the blonde.

"Hello!" Kyle said excitedly to the camera. "Wes! Every single damned time! Don't stare at the camera monitor!"

Wesley laughed, and then laughed even harder when a smiling Kyle whacked him in the chest. Wesley retaliated by whacking Kyle in the stomach.

Trying to reign his laughter in, Kyle said, "Okay! Okay! Let's get back to filming!"

Wesley wasn't done playing, though. He jumped sideways and fell onto Kyle.. Wesley wrapped his rig around Kyle's neck and rubbed the knuckles of his left hand on Kyle's scalp.

"Ow!" Kyle cried in laughter. "Fuck! Asshole! Get off!"

"Who's your daddy?" Wesley demanded, still noogying the brunette.

"Brandon Flynn!" Kyle answered, and then pushed the blonde off.

"Isn't he dating Ed Sheeran?"

"Sam Smith."

Wesley rolled his brown eyes and retorted, "Same thing."

While looking in the camera monitor, Kyle groused, "Dick. You just ruined my braid."

"Ah, whatever. Just take it out. Show off that beautiful mane."

After taking the braid out and combing his brown hair, Kyle and Wesley resumed filming.

"Hello!" Kyle said excitedly.

Wesley said, "What is up, Hemstad fam!?"

Kyle picked it up, "I am here with hottie straight boy Wes Tomlin."

"Earlier today, Oli- shit. I'm sorry.
"Earlier today, Kyle and I went to the post office to pick up some packages, as you may have seen from his Snapchat."

"And now we're here to do a tech unboxing! Ladies, gentlemen, welcome back to Hemstad Hardware. Before we begin, I would like to state that this video is in no way sponsored. These are products that either I ordered myself, or companies sent to me as part of their P.R. packages."

"First box comes from..." Wesley began as he grabbed a box from behind them. "Caseology."

"Oooh, Caseology," Kyle said with a smile as the blonde cut the box open. "They make amazing cases, particularly for mobile phones. And here we have cases for... both the iPhone 10 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.. And these are really nice cases. I'll start a pile of cases for iPhones, and another for Android phones."

"Second box is from... Mophie."

"Mophie is a great battery pack company. If you guys don't know, Mophie makes great phone cases with built-in batteries to charge your phone without having to plug wires in or scramble to find outlets. They have sent me.... a battery case for the Galaxy Note 8, which I am so thankful for because, as you guys know by now, the Note 8 is my daily driver. Mophie has also sent me a wireless charging car mount, and a battery pack for use if I don't use the battery case."

"Okay, next is box is from Sony."

"Sony?" Kyle asked with confusion. "They rarely send me anything. Oh! These are the 'h.ear on 2' Bluetooth headphones in black! If you guys remember from last month, I ordered myself a pair of these in Moonlit Blue, so I'll put these in a giveaway pile."

"And this box is from Apple."

"Oooh, I have been waiting for this package! Yep, this is it. Okay, so a couple weeks ago I became annoyed of my MacBook because it's so tiny. I thought having a small laptop like that would be perfect for school. So I ordered this fifteen-inch MacBook Pro, all decked out to use mainly for school. But it'll also be perfect to edit videos on when I'm traveling or on vacation. So I'll be wiping the drive of my current MacBook and giving it away."

A half hour later, Kyle and Wesley had opened all twenty-six packages. Around them both were over fifty brand new gadgets and accessories, and behind the camera were empty boxes.

"That is it, guys," Kyle told the camera happily. "That is the tech unboxing for November 2017. I now have some new products to test and review, some stuff that I ordered, and some repeats that I'll be giving away. One product that I am ecstatic to test is the August Smart Lock for my apartment door. I ordered this because there are times when I forget my keys in my car and I live on the thirty-fourth floor, so going back down to grab them is a huge pain. Wes, what is your favourite product?"

"Umm... I can't believe they sent you the Google Home!"

"I know. I remember back in November 2016 when Google released it, I was not excited about it. I mean it looks nice, and has seemed really useful from other channels' videos. It'll be interesting to see how it does when I set it up.
"So, guys, if you want a chance to win my old MacBook laptop, all you have to do is comment down below and smash that thumbs up button. I'll randomly choose the winner at 7:00A.M. on Monday, December fourth.
"Stay tuned on- fuckity fuck fuck, I screw up.
"If you like these other products, follow me on Snapchat and Instagram for chances to win these other great products that I already have.
"That is it for this video, guys. Thank you so much for tuning in! I hope you enjoyed seeing all these products being unboxed. If you think Wes did a great job helping me today, be sure to check him out on Instagram, which I'll leave in the description box below."

Wesley butted in, "I have a girlfriend, so keep those dirty D.M.'s on the down low."

Kyle snorted and smacked the blonde's arm. "Enjoy the rest of your weekend, guys. Peace."

As Brendan drove the two of them home from Forrest and Claudia's at the end of the night, Kyle sat in the passenger seat of Brendan's Lincoln MKZ. His phone was in his hands with YouTube open. He was watching a video by YouBeFit, which was a health and fitness channel with two-point-six million subscribers.

After watching the man cook a tofu stir fry and mak a protein smoothie, Kyle typed a comment, 'Great recipes. Should've done it shirtless ;)'

In the elevator of the apartment complex, Kyle opened his Snapchat again and said while making sure Brendan was not in the shot, "Hello again, guys. I hope you had a wonderful day today. I know I did. Filmed two beauty videos this morning and uploaded one, went to school, checked the P.O. box, filmed another video for my tech channel, and went to my friends Forrest and Claudia's for dinner. Now I am in the elevator back to my apartment for some much needed rest.
"Now it's time for the last check-in for this makeup. This has been on for fourteen-and-a-half hours now with just one touchup. You can't really see it on camera in this lighting but the foundation and concealer have cracked just a bit here on my chin, around my mouth, and under my eyes. You can also clearly see a lot of shine all over my face, and being in such a crowded dinner table at my friends' didn't help with heat. Eyeshadow still looks great, though. I'm happy about that. No fading, no moving, no fallout.
"Okay, that is it for me today, guys. I am beat. I am going to spend this Wednesday night doing homework, and then getting some shuteye. Tomorrow, check out my tech channel for a new video. It's on life hacks using nothing but your mobile phones, which can save you grievances in unfavourable circumstances or even save your life in dire situations.
"I checked out my beauty video from this morning, guys, and you have all shown so much love! Over eight hundred thousand views, over three thousand comments, and over ninety thousand likes. Congratulations to Ryeesha, Franky, and Sophia on winning the Sephora gift cards. I will send them to you guys tomorrow, so they should be arriving next week.
"Okay. Good night, guys. I love you all so much! Bye."

Now home in their apartment, the two young men undressed down to their underwear and went into the bathroom. They each stood at the double-sink counter where Kyle removed his makeup and they both brushed their teeth.

In bed, Kyle laid on his stomach with his textbooks, notebooks, and laptop splayed out in front of him. Brendan laid down on his back, using Kyle's lower back as a pillow, and read 'The Giver' by Lois Lowry. They laid in a companionable silence, the only sound in the whole twenty-three hundred square foot apartment was either Kyle writing notes or typing in answers to the online assignments.

While packing his things into his backpack, Kyle said, "Sorry, but I'm too tired to bath."

"S'okay," Brendan replied softly while setting his book on the bedside table. "Let's just get some--"

Kyle began placing sweet, lingering kisses to the wide expanse of Brendan's muscular back. The redhead sighed in appreciation. Kyle stood on his tiptoes and showered Brendan's neck in an abundance of hot kisses.

"Do you know what two things I'm never too tired for?" Kyle huskily asked as he urged the taller man to turn around.

"W-what's that?" Brendan asked, his voice thick with anticipation.

"I am never too tired for food," Kyle answered while kissing his way down Brendan's jacked, firm body. "And I am never too tired for sex."

Kyle kissed the redhead's sculpted stomach while at the same time pulling his boxer briefs down. Brendan's seven inches of thick meat sprang up and thwacked his own stomach when it came free of its confines.

When Kyle lapped his tongue on Brendan's heavy sac, Brendan groaned, "Shit, Ky."

Kyle slowly stroked Brendan's cock and licked the hairy, mheavy ballsac. Brendan moaned softly as he watched his boyfriend worship is big balls.

"Lay down on the bed, Ky," Brendan begged while fishing a bottle of lube out of the bedside table. "I need your dick."

Kyle laughed softly at the redhead's excitement, but complied. He laid on the luxuriously soft bed and quickly slid his trunk briefs off. Brendan poured some lube into his palm and leaned down to attach his lips to Kyle's. As their tongues battled heatedly, Brendan lathered Kyle's seven inch cock generously in the slippery liquid.

As he straddled Kyle's hips, Brendan sultrily asked, "You want it fast, or do you want it slow?"

"Slow," Kyle answered. "Aahhh yeah."

Brendan had backed his bubble butt back and the mushroom head of Kyle's cut dick slid past his ring muscle. Brendan gasped, and continued to slowly impale his ass on the brunette's cock. As the rigid phallus slid inside him, Brendan laid his chest on Kyle's and suckled on the brunette's neck.

"Mmm, Bren," Kyle hummed appreciatively.

As he sucked softly, making a hickey, Brendan lifted his hips three inches, and slammed it back down. Back up, and quickly back down.

Kyle smacked Brendan's ass softly and chastised, "I said slow, Bren."

Brendan continued to ride Kyle's cock, not slowly, while moving his lips to the other side of the brunette's neck. He suckled on Kyle's collarbone, and was so turned on by the sounds of the thwacks caused by his ass smashing onto Kyle's pelvis.

Kyle craned his neck back, and quiet moans flew out of his mouth. He loved the tightness and incredible heat that was Brendan's wonderful ass. But the redhead was riding him fast, and he could feel loads of precum seeping out of his turgid member.

"Fuck," Kyle moaned and cursed. "Slow down, Red."

Brendan laughed softly on Kyle's shoulder where he was making another hickey. But he did not slow down. He rode Kyle, and he rode hard.

Desiring not to cum too quickly, Kyle pushed the five-foot-eleven, two hundred pound redhead off of him. Brendan laughed quietly when he landed on the bed. Kyle stood on his knees, and pulled Brendan up so he was on all fours.. Brendan arched his back, and Kyle slid his throbbing cock back into his boyfriend's hungry hole.

"Ky," Brendan moaned softly as his hole was being stuffed. "Mmmm."

Kyle made slow love to Brendan, sliding his cock in and out of the redhead's ass teasingly slow. In the quiet apartment, the sounds of their soft moans and hitched breaths resounded.

"Aahhhh," Brendan moaned. "My Kyle."

Kyle fell forward and laid his forehead to Brendan's back. He spat a big wad into his left hand and reached under Brendan and gripped the redhead's hard cock.

"Ah yeah," Brendan mewled.

Kyle's hot, haggard breath hit Brendan on the back. The brunette fucked Brendan so slowly, and jacked Brendan's dick achingly slowly.

Kyle breathlessly stated, "I love you. Fuck, I love you so much."

"Mmm," Brendan whispered. "My Kyle."

Both young men breathed heavily in their pleasured states. Soft, quiet moans elicited from their throats. Sweat dewed on Kyle's forehead, as did Brendan's neck and back. Kyle quickened the pace of his hand, and slick sounds came from Brendan's prick being jacked in saliva.

"Mmm, I'm gonna cum," Brendan said urgently.

Kyle continued to massage the redhead's phallus and kissed his muscular back. Seconds later, Brendan moaned louder and quicker. Kyle heard the first volley of thick cum land on the sea blue bedsheets under them. Kyle loved the feeling of Brendan's thick dick throbbing violently with each of the seven spurts of hot cum.

Kyle then pulled on Brendan's side and made the redhead lie down on his back. Brendan didn't need to be told to roast his legs. Kyle positioned Brendan's legs against his shoulders, and his rock-hard cock slid easily back into Brendan's waiting hole.

Brendan touched his hands to Kyle's neck and said, "You're so beautiful."

Kyle, as he made love, attached his lips to Brendan's neck. Within minutes, Kyle had created three hickeys.

"I'm going to breed you, Red," Kyle whispered huskily. "I'm about to blow my load. Deep inside you."

"Fuck. Cum inside me, Ky."

Kyle laid his forehead to Brendan's clavicle. He grunted deeply, gutturally as he emptied his balls into the redhead's chute. His thick, hot cum painted Brendan's insides, all eight volleys.

"Ohhh Christ," Kyle squeaked.

Kyle laid down fully on top his boyfriend, his still hard dick buried deep inside his ass. Both young men were panting, and their bodies were completely lax.

Breathless, Brendan said, "Damn. We shouldn't wait that long to have sex ever again."

Kyle laughed and retorted, "We had sex two days ago."

"I'm twenty-five. You're twenty. We should be having sex every day."

"Okay," Kyle laughed as he slid off the redhead. "Whoever wakes up first wakes the other with a blowjob."

"That's not fair!" Brendan laughed. "I always wake up first."

Kyle simply laughed while laying his head on Brendan's chest. Minutes later, Brendan's breath was even, and deep. His hand on Kyle's arm was heavy and motionless. Kyle lifted his phone, pointed the back camera at them, and snapped a photo. The flash woke Brendan, who groaned in protest and shifted so they were facing each other.
