Chapter: Chapter 50The storage room was spacious and cozy, yet, Autumn felt like he was about to suffocate and the ferocious couples outside weren't making things any better. “Come on, I can see the lights on, just give us the room,” a girl yelled from outside, banging the door. It went on for a couple of minutes, before he heard the same guy screaming profanities at him, his footsteps pounding the floor as he stormed off. Autumn checked his phone. 11:47, it read, and soon his stomach began to rumble at him, a reminder that he hadn't been able to finish lunch before Vegas had whisked him away. And speaking of Vegas… Autumn could swear he still felt a lingering warmth on his lips, remembering the way Vegas' teeth had tugged at his lips early before he could get away. Or it was perhaps the bile constantly threatening to let loose. Still, he wasn't sure if it was the mere fact that Vegas had done it, or the fact that he hadn't kissed someone in over a year, but his body kept screaming at hi

Chapter: Chapter 49Autumn cocked an eyebrow, watching Vegas' mouth twitch into a light smirk. “What do you mean?” Autumn said snappily, turning his face to the side. Afterward, they didn't speak for the rest of the ride home, only stealing glances at each other. Autumn had dozed off a little, soon opening his eyes to see Remmy's car parked close, to see Remmy's house, in fact. “We're here?” Autumn said, more like a statement, checking his face in the side mirror discreetly, while Vegas let himself out of the car. “Come on," Vegas said in a slightly irritated tone, already heading up the steps. “Hey, thought you wanted to sleep for the rest of the day. Didn't your parents wear you out? They must have surely stripped you,” Julian rattled on, moving forward to reach out for Autumn. “Dude, never say it like that again. And what are you doing here anyway? Thought you'd be with your girlfriend." “Well, she's off doing her own thing,” Julian replied almost immediately, grabbing Autumn gingerly as a dark

Chapter: Chapter 48Vegas was a ball of nerves, trying not to sound manic, but fifteen missed text messages weren't helping matters. “He’s with me,” Remmy's voice came out calmly, a stark contrast to his fiery one. Vegas didn't know if the thought of Autumn wanting to hang out with his friend was something to cool him off or was the cause of the slight pang in his chest. He'd arrived just about thirty minutes ago, armed with a box of chocolate, not sure whether Autumn would like them or not. Frankly, he'd never seen him with a box of, anything, but it would help in his reason to see him. Ever since the party, the two hadn't been able to have a proper conversation, all the more reason why Vegas had agreed to spend time with his parents in the first place, preferring to hang out in his room at the resort rather than be around Autumn. These days, he hated how much Autumn made him feel utterly lost, which was the best way he could put it.“Where are you guys?” he said in a less fiery voice, sure that Re

Chapter: Chapter 47“Remmy, what are you doing here bro?” Autumn heard it as soon as he stepped out of his last class, trying to maneuver his way past the crowd of people out front. For the past week, he had been stuck with him and Autumn had been very grateful for that. Apparently, Vegas had a family trip to attend, and Remmy had volunteered to drop him off every day. Obviously he would have preferred staying at his dorm in the meantime, but Vegas had said something along the lines of taking care of Mochi. “Alright man,” the other guy said, waving at Remmy, followed by a wink, and Remmy just stood there, staring at the guy's back a little longer than he should have. “Hey Remmy,” Autumn said on reaching him, leaning against his car slightly. Remmy turned around quickly, looking a little disoriented. “Hey Autumn, ready to go?” he asked, getting a little nod from Autumn.Over the last couple of days, they'd talked a bit, casually of course, but Autumn knew it was just that, and he could absolutely not

Chapter: Chapter 45Autumn wondered if he had gotten really tipsy or if Vegas just wanted to be snarky. He steadied himself against the wall, trying to pry himself out of Vegas's hold and away from his blazing eyes.“What do you mean?” he asked, pushing away a strand of hair from his face.Vegas pulled back Autumn's hand before he spoke. “Who was that guy you were talking with? And drinking privately?” he said in a more annoyed tone now, eyes locked on Autumn's flushed cheeks, sure he was about two drinks away from calling it quits.Vegas pulled himself closer, practically having Autumn pinned against the wall now, not minding the loud cheers and music blaring from the living room.Autumn shuddered slightly, feeling Vegas's warm breath close to his neck. “It’s a party, and he seemed really nice. I don't know,” he said lowly, resting his other hand flat on the wall to prop himself up.That did not seem to satisfy Vegas.“The party stays inside, where I can see you, not with some guy outside my house,” he
