Wetness pooled on Caleb’s belly. Isaac was close.

“Yeah bro, that’s it. Come on me. Let me feel it. Hit my chin with your cum.”

“Gonna mark you,” Isaac said. “No girl will ever- ever take you from me again.”

“Never bro, never. I’m yours, you know that. You’re always first.”

Ryan cried out sharply behind them. Could he feel it? “If only I could possess you and feel this, you’d walk around with each other’s cum in your asses every day.”

Isaac cried out, coming like a rocket. Like he hadn’t already just come. Where was it all coming from? Was Ryan pushing it out?

It hit Caleb’s neck. Jesus Christ, it hit his neck. Unbelievable. All of this was unbelievable.

Isaac collapsed on Caleb’s chest. Delirious. Spent. About to pass out.

Caleb blinked up at Ryan, eyelids heavy. Ryan was staring down at them with a soft look on his face. Soft, but sad.

Caleb tried to say something to reassure Ryan, but everything felt so heavy. Oh.

Was this what it felt like to fuck so hard you passed out?

Chapter 7

“It didn’t work.” Caleb woke to Ryan saying. “I can’t believe it didn’t work.”

“But everything I’d researched said that it should.” That was Isaac’s voice. “I don’t know where we went wrong.”

“It’s not your fault, Isaac,” Ryan said. “I thought it would too. And don’t get me wrong, it was fun. A lot of fun. I just… wish I wasn’t still trapped here.”

“Trapped?” Caleb said, slowly waking up.

Isaac was sitting up next to him on the couch. Ryan paced in front of them, partially transparent. Caleb could see the brightest points of the fire through him.

“Ryan can’t leave the cabin,” Isaac said.

“I can leave it for short times, but it’s always exhausting,” Ryan clarified.

“But why are you trapped here?” Caleb asked. It still didn’t make sense.

“Because I died here,” Ryan said. “I thought my biggest regret was not confessing to my best friend and fucking him before the accident. But now… I guess it’s forever too late.”

He was so sad. Just like when Caleb had run into him at the pier last year. Talking with Caleb had cheered him up. But not completely. Now Caleb finally understood why.

Ryan was always alone.

“We could come visit you!” Caleb said. It was the only thing he could think of to help. “Right, Isaac?”

“Of course,” Isaac said. “What we just did was amazing. I had no idea you could move objects like that. Or possess them!”

“Yeah,” Ryan laughed half-heartedly. “It was a surprise to me, too.”

“We’ll have so much fun together,” Caleb said. “We won’t abandon you, bro. You can count on us.”

But Ryan was already shaking his head. “You guys are cute, but… something’s missing. I just can’t figure out what. I’m trapped here forever. All because I was too afraid to tell my crush the truth.”

Christ. That was horrible. And Isaac had been trying to help Ryan this whole time? Without telling Caleb?

Wait… Isaac had been against telling Caleb that he thought he was gay. Had Isaac been afraid too? Afraid that Caleb would turn his back on his best friend over something so small?
