Kurt's - WMASG - 11-15-2025
It was 1991. It was a different time.
I had just graduated high school. I lived in a small rural town that was just big enough to finally get its own high school. My class was one of the very first to spend all four years at the new school. The town was big enough to have a Burger King, a McD's, a Wendy's, a KFC, a Little Caesar's, and a Domino's. We had a K-Mart and a Sears, though the Sears was barely bigger than a fast food place and didn't have much there, but you could order anything through the catalog.
Being gay was hugely different then too. You didn't just come out and tell everyone then. Guys still got beat up for even being suspected as a fag. I went all through high school hiding it, just like every other gay guy did. I suspected there might be at least one other gay kid in my school, but probably not in my class.
My first job was at KFC. I was still working there when I graduated. There wasn't a lot of other choices in town, and my folks weren't going to be able to afford any college for me or my younger bro or sis. They just barely were able to help with my first car. I paid for over half of it with what I'd saved up working at KFC since I was fourteen.
So there I was, eighteen, total virgin, total closet case homo. Some of my friends had moved on to college, some had been smart enough for that, some had been able to get a decent job at one of the factories in a nearby town that was big enough to have a couple. Some went to work at co-op or such. My friend James and I were pretty much stuck at KFC. By now I was of legal age and could be made an actual assistant manager, so I was. James could have, but he was getting more into pot and beer and partying, so he was still hourly. We were still good friends, just growing apart and different. He had a girlfriend, too. Nice girl, and they were talking marriage and kids. She had a better job than we did.
Anyway, it was summer now, and some of the high school kids were looking for jobs. This year I was trusted to go through the applications and cut them up in to "Likely" or "Maybe" or "Not" based on what I knew of the applicant from school and around town and such. Then the first assistant did the interviews of the "Likely" ones, and then maybe some of the "Maybe" ones if she still wanted to hire some more. We had lost four employees to either college or better jobs over the last month, and two kids to vacations with family, so we needed four full-time and two temps. I'd picked the ones I knew who had decent grades and reputations for the "Likely" and they were interviewed first. Cathy asked me to help with the interviews, and to learn how to do them, so maybe I would take that over in the coming year or so. We went through the interviews, and after we agreed on who looked the best. She hired them, and I was in charge of their training and orientation.
There were these two guys that really caught my attention - Brent and Randy. They were both sixteen, and this would be their first jobs. They were both clean-cut guys with reputations as decent dudes. They had been sophomores last year when I was a senior, so I sort of knew them. To be honest, I'd paid a lot of attention to them both last year.
Brent was slightly beefy, slightly stocky, a bit solid. Not fat at all, just real dense. Blond hair, blue eyes, smooth round face, square jaw, thick trunk and legs, all around a really built dude. If he would get into weight lifting he could probably become a wrestling stud.
Randy was slightly tall, slightly lean, a bit lanky. Not skinny at all, just real fit. Sandy-blond hair with honey and hay streaks, deep brown eyes, long oval face, slightly pointed jaw, trim body and narrow legs, all around a really lean guy. He could have been the swimmer type.
They were both pretty hot, so I'd noticed them. I'd wished I'd had them in gym, but I didn't. I had the year before, when they were freshmen, but I hadn't noticed them yet. Well, I had, but they hadn't been very interesting then. I sort of remembered that Brent was shortish and thick down there, with just a few hairs toward the end of the year, and Randy had been sort of long with only a hint of fuzz at year's end. There hadn't been a lot to notice two years ago.
