Students (Part III)

Cristian was bold, free, adventurous, fearless, and confident in himself, far from Raimundo, perhaps that's what they both liked: their differences.

Both students advanced to a phase of greater closeness and intimacy, with many conversations in the patios, cafes, and walks. Similarly, Raimundo tried not to make it so obvious, still held back by his conservative lungs and social atavism, while Cristian was more evident and explicit.

Raimundo desired more intimacy. He wanted to feel Cristian's body, caress it, kiss it, smell it, taste it, touch it, squeeze it, and run his fingers and tongue over it.

Cristian also desired it, but he was looking for new experiences, discovering other sensations, and living his sexuality more intensely. He wasn't closed off to anything, having tried almost everything, and still had curiosity about other forms. Raimundo didn't know, but now they would be part of one of his partner's fantasies.

On Wednesday afternoon, Cristian didn't have classes and usually went to the Theology Library on the San Joaquín Campus to study. It was a spectacular space, silent and well-suited for study. Raimundo had classes until 5:00 pm at the Central House. They agreed to meet at the Tobalaba Metro at 6:00 pm. "I have an invitation and I want you to accompany me," Cristian had told Raimundo in a WhatsApp message, and he had agreed.

They took line 1 and got off at the El Golf station, walking north on Rosario Street towards the buildings near the small hill in that neighborhood, near the Golf Club. That's where the invitation was.

They walked for about 15 minutes to an 11-story building, Cristian presented himself at the concierge, and then they went up to the last floor and arrived at a 200 m2 apartment, with windows on three of its four sides and a terrace that circled it entirely. It was a luxury design and minimalist style, with photographs and some paintings.

Cristian greeted the host:

- I introduce you to Raimundo, more than a friend who also studies law - he said.

- Hello, I'm Juan José, nice to meet you.

- Juan José is a photographer and very good - said Cristian.

- Hello, nice to meet you - Raimundo replied, timid and a bit uncomfortable.

They toured the apartment and sat on one of the terraces, specifically the one facing east, which allowed them to see the mountain range still with snow. Juan José served Cristian a beer and Raimundo a Coca-Cola, and he also took a can of beer.

They conversed about the day, and after a moment, it was Cristian who presented the plan:

- Juan José wants to take some artistic photos of us. He's the best. Are you agreeable?

- …. yes, yes… - Raimundo said hesitantly.

- Don't worry, it will be all right, without faces, unless you want it otherwise.

- I have no problem - said Cristian.

- It's okay, it's okay, but without a face - Raimun...
