Masuk✦APRIL 10, 2022✦◈ALEX POV◈“I’m so sorry for being late,” I said to Chloe as she stood in front of the Harrington estate, waiting, while I stepped out of my Lamborghini Aventador, the engine humming softly behind me and one hand lingering behind me as I moved toward her.She stopped me cold, and even as I smiled at her, she turned slightly away, a flicker of anger crossing her flawless face.“You look even more beautiful when you’re angry,” I murmured.A faint, reluctant smile tugged at her lips.“Just smile, Chloe,” I continued, my voice low, my eyes tracing her curves. “It suits this divine...”“Stop that,” she cut me off, lifting her hand to push my chin aside. “You’re staring like you’d take me… even if I offered myself.”“A-at this point...” I stammered.“Oh please,” she snapped, heat rising in her voice. “We’ve known each other for ten years. I’ve put myself on the line for you more times than I can count, and you’ve always turned me down, not to mention how every other woman
✦DAYS LATER✦◈THAT EVENING◈ “Take me outside,” Tobi pleaded softly, making Alex and Jason exchange a quick glance before their eyes moved to the nurse and the doctor, who met their gaze as well. Alex gave the doctor a small nod, a quiet request that said just once.The doctor looked back at Tobi and stepped closer to the bed. “You’re awake. Alright. We will take you outside.”Alex turned back to Tobi, relief and worry tightening in his chest as he finally saw how pale Tobi had become, and a faint smile touched Tobi’s lips as his eyes moved between them.“Bring a wheelchair,” the doctor said quietly, and the nurse nodded and left the room while Jason stepped closer to the bed and Alex remained beside Tobi, watching him carefully as the silence stretched.After a short while the door opened and the nurse returned, guiding the wheelchair inside.“We will help you up slowly,” Alex said, and Tobi gave a faint nod and tried to shift as Jason lowered the side rail. Alex slid an arm behind h
◈HOURS LATER◈ “Sill here?!” Alex exclaimed, resting casually against the doorway with his arms crossed as he watched Tobi fold the sheets in the laundry room.“You have to get going,” he added, making Tobi glance at him as Alex laughed softly, licking his lips briefly. “Don’t worry, I’ll continue from where you stopped.”Tobi hesitated, fingers pausing mid-fold. “And?”“And?” Alex repeated with a scoff, stepping closer. “I know you need this money, but not at the expense of your health. Until you’re well, I order you not to come over. That doesn’t affect your pay anyways, so don’t be troubled.“I… I really appreciate your kindness, Alex,” Tobi said gently as Alex took the T-shirt from his hands.“I’m so sorry I can’t give you what you asked,” Tobi said softly. “Not because I don’t care, but because I won’t be here long enough to give you the love you deserve.”“What do you mean, Tobi?” Alex asked, interrupting, his fingers brushing the T-shirt before letting it fall onto the bed. He
Jason leaned forward until his forehead rested gently against Tobi’s, his breath spilling warm and uneven between them. Their mouths collided with a hunger that deepened with every passing second, Jason’s hand trailing lower, pulling a sharp gasp from Tobi’s lips, swallowed into Jason’s mouth.Tobi’s breath caught as Jason withdrew just enough for their gazes to meet again, a silent question flickering in his eyes. Tobi nodded softly, still panting, and Jason lowered himself, lips tracing down over Tobi’s length, worshipping every inch, making Tobi shudder with a breathy moan, watching as Jason’s tongue circled his reddened tip.Tobi gripped Jason’s head, fingers weaving into his hair, his mouth open as shaky breaths poured out under the overwhelming pleasure. Jason lifted his head, a thin strand of saliva clinging from his lips to Tobi’s throbbing tip slick with pre-cum, and looked up at Tobi, who was gasping for breath, chest rising and falling rapidly, as he crawled upward, pressi
Jason froze for a heartbeat, horror slowly spreading across his face.“What?” His voice came out jagged with disbelief. “No. That’s not possible.”“It is.” Tobi tried to smile, but it collapsed into a trembling line while Jason’s hands flew into his hair, pulling at it like he could tear himself out of a nightmare.“I’ve known for a while,” Tobi continued quietly. “The doctors said… there isn’t much time.”“And you kept this from me?” Jason snapped, his hands twisted together as he shut his eyes, lips pressing tight before he blinked them open and turned away.“Tobi, I’m your friend. Your best friend, for heaven’s sake...”“I didn’t want you to see me differently,” Tobi cut in, tears filling his eyes as they met Jason’s glassy stare. “Not like this. I just wanted to live like nothing was wrong… even if it was only for a little while.”“Tobi, what is wrong with you?” Jason said, anger breaking apart into grief as he stepped forward until they were standing face to face, both of them te
◈LATER IN THE EVENING◈George, Jason’s father, parked his mid-range sedan neatly in front of my house. Jason immediately opened the car door, ready to jump out.“Son,” George called, stopping him. “Not even a goodbye?”Jason sank back into the seat, turning toward him. “I would have said it once I got down.”George chuckled softly. “Take care of yourself, son. Your mother will come pick you up if you’d like.”Jason laughed faintly. “I’ll be fine.”“And be easy on Tobi. Don’t go giving him a headache,” George teased.Jason smirked. “I’m a cool guy, and you know it.”George chuckled. “Oh, we know,” he said, his tone teasing. Then his expression softened, and his voice dropped slightly. “I’m just waiting for the day you finally bring home your boyfriend.”Jason’s eyes widened slightly.“Or… is he the one?” George added, glancing toward me.Jason’s mouth opened, but no words formed. Our eyes locked, and my chest felt warm.“We know, Jason,” George said with a gentle smile. “Your mother an
