Chapter: Chapter 42Autumn jerked awake to a very loud, annoying sound coming from the bedside stand.“Right, I forgot to customize it,” he suddenly realized, looking at his old phone that had gone dead in his hands.“Vegas?” he muttered, seeing that it was past midnight.He finally swiped to answer, holding it close to his ear.“Hey Autumn, it's Remmy. Could you please get him? I couldn't reach his secretary. I'll send you the location,” he shouted above the loud music booming through the speakers.“Okay. On my way,” Autumn groaned as the call ended, swinging his feet off the bed to change into jeans and a shirt, throwing a jacket over it.Autumn took the keys from the cabinet, grateful for the driving lessons from Allison last year.He arrived about thirty minutes later, shooting a text to Vegas so Remmy would know he had arrived.“My bottle,” Julian slurred as he was dragged outside the club by Remmy, with Vegas dragging his feet closely behind them.“Hey, hope you didn't have any trouble finding this

Chapter: Chapter 41“That’s one smart twink, going at him like that,” Autumn heard as he walked out of his last class a few days later.Although people hadn’t been so upfront about it anymore for some reason, though a few had come up to him the previous week, there were still whispers, outright gossip really.No one cared that he heard, of course. It wasn’t like he was one to be feared or that important. When he was with Vegas, however, no one dared utter a word; they just stared.What scared him the most about this was the chance of getting bullied or attracting the likes of Tom, who'd sometimes watched him a little too closely with a snarky expression.He'd also noticed that Vegas had been acting a bit... well, not really weird, just more distant. He'd barely even run into him for a few days, only seeing him return on some nights or when he'd run a few errands for him.The words settled in his mind. “I’m not a twink, right?” he mumbled to himself as he stood outside the building for Vegas's chauffeur.

Chapter: Chapter 40Vegas was off to a shitty start that morning. Firstly, he'd fallen asleep in his jeans after his little bathroom incident, not even bothering to put them back on all the way. And even more annoyingly, he’d woken up to a call from Aaron, his phone buzzing in the corner as he glanced at his bedside alarm for the time. 6:50“What?!” he growled, annoyed at his own fricking voice right now, sounding somewhat whiny, like he was still some hormonal teenager.“Mister Clairemont, your father wants to meet up with you later. Should I let him know you'll—”“No!” he replied flatly, catching Aaron off guard. “Tell him I'm busy.”“But sir, he expressly said—”“And I'm expressly saying no!” he bellowed. “You work for me directly, so do your job.”“Yes, sir.”He cut the call before Aaron could say anything else, exhaling sharply as he turned on his side away from the small light that escaped from the curtains.He lay there helplessly as his mind annoyingly began to ruminate on what had occurred last

Chapter: Chapter 39Vegas came home to the usual quiet that shielded the apartment, sure enough that Autumn had indeed been bent over his desk again, working away at those models and drawing steadily like he’d seen him do once. He sighed, walking into the living room, his mind focused on reaching the fridge for a glass of water when he heard soft breathing nearby, feeling like he was getting warmer as he continued. He finally located the sound coming from the long couch. Autumn lay there dressed in a simple white top and black sweatpants, one arm spread lazily over the couch while the other curved across Mochi, who’d fallen asleep on his lap. On the table was a half glass of milk on top of a coaster with a bendy straw inside, one of the ones that always stayed at the lower part of the fridge ever since he moved in, he'd noticed, wondering why someone would need a straw to drink milk straight from a glass. His head rested on the left, directly in Vegas's view, his mouth lightly pursed as he took soft

Chapter: Chapter 38Autumn jerked awake to the sound of a loud bang on his door, his phone lying in the corner as he found himself curled up on the floor. Apparently, he'd fallen asleep there after sobbing for God knows how long. The light spilling through the curtains was too bright, and he had to squint while getting up. “Open up,” he heard the voice from outside say. He scrubbed at his face quickly before pressing a hand on the door handle. “Morning. Were you busy?” Aaron asked softly, handing him a small package. Autumn, feeling somewhat embarrassed and sure that his face didn't look good right now, wondered how bad it was with the way Aaron kept peering at him. “Hmm.... Okay, thanks,” he muttered, putting a hand over his mouth. “Okay then, the driver will be downstairs soon,” he replied, turning to leave. “Oh, sorry, what's this?” Autumn asked, suddenly remembering the package in his hands. “It’s from Mister Clairemont,” Aaron quickly replied, not turning around, quickly disappearing down t

Chapter: Chapter 37“Thanks for helping me with this,” Allison said as they stepped out of the tall building, holding a small bag. They walked over to her car, leaning against it, Allison looking up at the stars splattered across the sky. “Anything for the lady,” he said playfully, Allison nudging his shoulder a bit. “Never letting you recommend another movie, though. There was barely anyone in that theater,” Allison deadpanned. “Come on, you've got to admit, it was a cute rom-com,” Autumn whined. “Where the dude just fought a giant lizard for an hour and a half to get her out of the well? Okay, expert.” Autumn snorted, both laughing so hard they couldn't breathe. “Fine, I didn't even know what it was about; I just thought the poster looked cool.” “Honestly, I had a lot of fun. Wish we could have gone to the arcade before my mom called to go, or karaoke,” she turned her head to face him, watching him fumble with his phone. “Great, my battery died again. I didn't even notice all this time,” he mu
