LOGINAs Leon got up from the bed, he winced painfully. “Oh shit, why does it hurt?” Noa walked over to him smiling lightly. “Oh babe, I'm so sorry but you just got disvirgined.” “Come on, you've disvirgined me months ago.” “Well, you happened to be special. You have two virginities. So this is the second one, and it's normal for a first timer, okay.” “Damn it, how do I practice today?”Leon said angrily. “Come on,” Noa helped him to stand up and led him to the bathroom. He had made a hot water pack, and he had dropped it on the bathtub. “To make it hurt less sit on the warm pack.” Noa told him. Leon touched it with his palm. It's just a warm pack?.” “Yeah, just try and sit on it.” “Alright.” Leon responded but the minute he sat on it, “Auch!”He jumped up quickly, “It’s fucking hot.” Noa laughed hilariously. “Damn it, you know it's hot? That's not funny.” “Babe, I'm sorry but you need to use a hot pack to relieve the pain quickly. Do you want to go h
Noa pulled back and stared at him. “My D, is this really you?” Leon smiled, “Yes but that was the user name in the app. Babe, my name is Leon. Diamond was a masked guy, just love the real me, hmm.” “I love you my Diamond Leon.” Noa said with a smile, combing his fingers through Leon's hair. Leon leaned in and kissed him. “I just want to kiss you non-stop.” “Just kiss? Will that be enough when you’re already poking me.” Noa teased as he unexpectedly pushed him backward. Leon found himself hitting the bed and sat upright. His cocky was already throbbing under his sweat pants. His eyes remained on Noa as he pulled off his top, then his shorts. Leon swallowed the instant his eyes went down to Noa’s cocky. “You stared at me as if you're seeing me naked for the first time.” Leon swallowed again and smiled shyly as Noa stood before him running his hand through his hair. Then he lifted Leon’s face and bent down to meet his lips in a kiss while caressing his ha
Leon took another step, Noa stared at him. The steam drifted between them, softening the fluorescent lights overhead. The shower room felt strangely distant from the rest of the world. Noa still didn't move. Water rolled down his hair and shoulders as he watched Leon approach. "What are you doing?" Noa asked quietly. Leon managed a weak smile."I don't know." Then, in another step the space between them disappeared. Noa could hear Leon's uneven breathing over the steady rush of the shower."You've been avoiding me all day." "Are you sure about that?" “I know that you're, babe” “Do I have a reason to? Leon lowered his gaze. "I..I…” His words got stuck in his throat. Silence settled between them.Then, almost without thinking, Leon reached out. His fingertips lightly brushed a droplet of water from Noa's temple before trailing down to his cheek.The touch was so gentle it almost wasn't there. Noa's breath caught. "Leon..." "I've missed t
He wondered if he already knew but couldn't arrive at a decision. He couldn't look at him as he tried to speak. "Noa...I" His voice cracked. The word reached the tip of his tongue but didn't come out. His eyes became moist. He could almost remember his promise to Leon of their meeting on the weekend before his brother’s injury. He wanted nothing more than to pull Noa into his arms and tell him everything. That he'd let anger blind him. That every act of kindness toward Noa hadn't been accidental.But another way of making up for his mess. The guilt, the regret, and the fear that Noa would hate him for cutting him off unfairly remained. What if Noa believed he wasn't still sincere with him? What if knowing the truth only reopened wounds that had barely healed? Leon's courage to open up vanished. His hopeful expression slowly crumbled. He looked away and said, "I never met anyone by that name." Those words felt like a knife through his own heart. "I don't know
Two days later, Leon jerked awake with a gasp. His heart pounded so hard that for a few seconds he couldn't tell whether he was still dreaming or already awake. "Diamond..." The name slipped from his lips before he could stop it. He sat up slowly, rubbing his face. The dream had been so vivid. The young Diamond had been standing beneath the old oak tree close to flowers. He was smiling at him as if they knew each other well. "You promised we'd meet again." I told him. Then, somehow, Diamond's voice had changed. It became Leon's voice as he promised. Then Leon appeared in the young Diamond’s place before he jerked awake. Noa frowned deeply. He threw the blanket aside and stood. "No... Why would I dream of Diamond sounding like Leon?" His mind replayed every conversation he'd had with Leon over the past few weeks. "You're not alone. I'll wait. You don't have to carry everything yourself." Every sentence echoed almost word for word with things Diam
A faint smile crossed his lips. "Yeah, well, my Dad never got the chance to pay the debts." The smile disappeared. "The debt didn't die with him. It came to me." Leon sat beside him in silence.Noa continued. "My mother was already gone. My sister, was raped and since then she had never been the same." His voice caught. He needed treatment, so there was only me." "So, I quit thinking about what I wanted. I stopped asking for help. I worked." He smiled bitterly. "Thank goodness for the scholarship. Morning...school and hockey. Evening…work, then home.The next day...I did it all again." Leon could barely breathe. "Why didn't you tell me?" Noa laughed quietly. "What would I have said? Hi, Leon.I like you. By the way, dangerous people are threatening my family because of a debt that isn't even mine.” He shook his head. "I didn't want you involved. I didn't want anyone involved. My sister already is.” His voice cracked. Leon grabbed his hand. "Y
The sudden burst of loud voices outside the stall instantly snapped both of them back to reality. The restroom door slammed closed. Students who walked in moved around noisily, laughing and talking over each other. Leon’s eyes flew open fully. At the same time, Noa jerked back slightly. His h
Both guys stared at him in surprise. He sounded very annoyed. “Come on, Cap. Let it go already. Coach had settled things after practice.” Vic immediately jumped in. “Exactly,” Nath agreed. “Leon was rough during training, but honestly? That rookie is good.” Noa stared at them blankly for
The moment Professor Hale dismissed the class, the lecture hall erupted with noise. Chairs scraped against the floor. Students hurried to pack their bags and rushed out to the cafeteria. Leon had barely zipped up his bag when Sebastian hooked an arm around his immediately. “You must be starvi
Noa tilted his head slightly, eyes dragging over Leon’s tense expression. “Are you sure about that?" Leon couldn't reply because he knew he was right. His heart had been thudding since he saw him in the shower. He had been trying to control his body from acting up. Water rolled down Leon’s ne
