My shirtless story (1)

Hi, I'm new to the community so I think it's best to start by sharing my shirtless experiences. A couple weeks ago my new neighbors moved in next door and I met a boy my age. We didn't see each other very often at first and weren't close either. One afternoon I was shirtless in my house when a delivery man turned up outside. I went outside still bare-chested and a moment later that boy saw me and greeted. Tbh I was quite insecure at the time. I have always felt comfortable without a shirt in front of friends or in public but not in front of someone I don't know that well. I greeted him back, attempting to cover my torso (but failed). He said he was home alone and wanted me to come over. I asked him if it's ok for me to be shirtless in his house and he said definitely. I came over without even bringing a safety shirt bc I love going bare-chested around other boys. Once we got inside he took his shirt off as well. It turned out he also loves going shirtless as much as I do. We chatted, played table tennis and watched a movie. We got on really well and quickly, which I'm glad. Before it was dark, we went to a local bookshop to buy some comics, still shirtless. We did get some stares on the street and in the store but we were didn't mind. That evening we even exchanged numbers. Now we are firm mates and often hang out (shirtless) together. Above all, I'm happy that we're both comfortable in our bare chests (we sometimes pinch each other's chest or torso as a joke too). I can even say it's the freedom of shirtlessness that brought us together. After all that's what we, as members of this community, are trying to do: encouraging other men to enjoy life bare-chested.
