Evening. The time was 6:15pm. There was still a bit of daylight left in the sky, with the sun just caressing the horizon. It's brilliant display of orange stretching across the open sky like a vibrant inferno. The clouds passing by at a snail's pace soaking in the last remaining rays before the sun bids farewell for the night. The sound of cars passing by behind him as he descends the stairs that lead to the subway station. At the moment, it was fairly busy due to the change of work hours. Those who had morning shifts are getting off of work and heading down to catch the train home; while the night shifts are just waking up and making their way to work during the cool darkness of night. As for Andrew? He was just getting off of work after a busy day in the studio. The day had been slow, and it seemed that the weekday rushes were going to make that time much more slower. The tall male clutched his satchel strap that was draped across his shoulder and did his best to move past the oncoming crowd. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out his Subway Pass and scanned it at the gate, waiting for the light to change before turning the turnstile and heading off deeper into the station. The time on his phone read 6:20pm which meant he had at most 10 minutes to buy a ticket and get on the train home. It wasn't hard to see past people since he was 6'3 in height. However, that didn't help when it came to fighting the crowd to get to the ticket counter. I really don't want to have to wait an hour to get home. I guess I could have taken a cab but the fare for that would be expensive.. The male kept walking, while more at a brisk pace which he could do quite easily and found the route. Andrew knew the way to the route quite easily because of how many times he has taken it. It just developed as muscle memory at this point, which wasn't a problem for him. Checking his phone, he found that he had about 2 minutes before the train was going to arrive. Meaning he just barely made

it. If he had gotten stuck in the crowd even once he would have missed it. Thank God. I don't know what I would have done with myself if I missed this the blonde sighed with relief. Within a few minutes, the train going for Route 2 had appeared, coming to a steady stop and releasing the passengers who were inside. Andrew went ahead to push past them and step onto the train and walked over towards a corner of one of the cabins, taking a seat. Andrew was a relatively tall male with fair skin and thick eyelashes. His body was more so built slim with a faint athletic build. His hair was a blonde color, long and stopped at just about the middle of his back if it was let loose. Right now it was tied in a neat bun. His clothes consisted of a simple white t-shirt, a denim jacket, jeans and a pair of brown boots. Each ear had two small hoop-like piercings each per earlobe A couple of beaded bracelets on his left wrist and a tear-shaped jade pendant around his neck. Reaching into his pocket and pulling out his phone and his airpods which he promptly put into his ears before selecting some music to listen to. He kept it low enough that he could hear any announcements but enough that he could still hear and relax to the music. @Angel

It had been a rather long day. Having just worked a 10 hour shift - 7 A.M to 5 P.M - Lukas was exhausted. Despite that, he had managed to make his way to the subway on time without much of a hurry. When he had arrived, the subway was busy as per usual. He made his way through the crowd, to the ticket counter, and through the turn stiles to head to the gate he needed. A quick check of his watch. 6:15. He had plenty of time to spare. He made himself comfortable, sitting down on a bench and popping his headphones over his head. He leaned back and closed his eyes for just a moment… The sound of the subway train arriving and the doors opening snapped him awake, making him sit up almost immediately. The arriving crowd had already dispersed, meaning he had to jump up and grab his bag and run into the train car to make it in time. A sigh of relief escaped him as the door closed behind him. A quick glance around the subway car and he’d found a spot to sit, quickly taking it. Once he was sat, he put his headphones around his neck and then his bag under the seat.
01:32
Almost immediately, he could feel eyes digging into him. Lukas was a fairly average 24 year old. Around 5’9, brown shaggy hair that was long, but not too long. Just barely past his ears. He’d always been considered a “pretty boy” but he never really entertained those comments. Silver eyes glanced up, immediately discovering the culprit of the feeling he was having. An older very obviously drunk man was pretty much right in front of him, holding the bar, yet still swaying. Lukas could smell the alcohol reeking off the man, making him sit back in his seat. He gave a smile - an attempt to maybe get the man to be satisfied enough to stop staring. Oh boy was he wrong. The man seemed to almost take this gesture as an invitation. He moved closer, bending down to Lukas’ level. The smell made him wanna gag. “Well ain’t you a sight for sore eyes.” The man slurred. Lukas awkwardly laughed and turned his head away slightly. In all honesty, he wasn’t entirely sure what to do in this situation. He’d never experienced it before - and based on the fact that no one around him seemed to be reacting, he figured he shouldn’t either. Maybe the guy would get bored if he didn’t answer. Wrong again. “Hey-“ the man’s tone suddenly shifted, and he grabbed Lukas by the collar, yanking him closer to his face. Lukas’ eyes widened as he attempted to pull away, but the man’s grip was strong. “Dontya know how to say thank you when someone compliments ya?” He rasped. “Sorry-“ Lukas started, but cut himself off as he felt the man’s other hand starting to pull up the hem of his shirt. “Hey-! Get off!” He insisted. The people around him seemed to not be aware to what was happening - or they didn’t care. “I think I deserve an apology.” The man said, keeping a hold of Lukas’ collar despite his attempts to pull away. @Sunfauna

His music playing quietly in his ears as he scrolled through his phone, reading and responding to texts and emails. The train hadn't moved yet as people were still boarding the train. However, the sound of an altercation going on caused the blonde male to lift his eyes from his phone. Across the isle and a bit down the ways was a young man with shaggy brown hair being harassed by an older gentlemen who was clearly intoxicated. By the looks of it, he was getting handsy too. Looking around it seemed that nobody paid any mind to what was going on. Meaning that younger guy was basically on his own with not so much as a glance from anyone else. I could step in, but I feel that drunk guy is gonna get violent.. Do I risk it and get chewed out by my manager? he thought to himself, gripping his phone a second before a sigh of irritation escaped his lips. If this bites me in the ass, I swear.. Andrew stood from his seat, walking towards the two and resting a hand on the drunk man's shoulder. "Hey, buddy. Can't you see he's not interested? How about you let go and leave before I call security" his eyes narrowed, a rather scary look on his face as his other hand grabbed the man's wrist that was holding the younger man's shirt collar, and then pulling away the other hand that was under his shirt, lightly pushing the drunk man away. If I make myself the target, I feel I'm going to get into a fight. I need to resolve this peacefully before things get out of hand @Angel

One of Lukas’ hands moved to stop the man’s hand from moving further up his shirt. While he tried his best not to show it externally, internally he was freaking out. Why was nobody saying anything? Why wasn’t anyone helping? While he had never had this personally happen to him, he didn’t know it was fairly common. That was why no one seemed to want to intervene - that or they were scared of the man turning on them instead. “Listen, just let go an I-“ Lukas started, but was cut off by another voice. This one was new. His eyes darted from the man in front of him to this new man beside him. His mouth parted slightly in surprise as he felt the drunk man’s hands leave him. He immediately shifted, standing up and slipping out of the seat and behind the taller man who had now joined the situation. “What’s it to you?” The drunkard ripped his hands from Andrew’s grasp. “Ain’t none of your business - and don’t you lay a hand on me again er I’ll show ya an ass whoopin.” The man lightly shoved the other on the chest, an obvious attempt at intimidation. Meanwhile, behind Andrew, Lukas had bent down to reach for his bag. He hadn’t expected it when the man swooped his foot in front of his hand, pulling the bag out from his reach. “Jesus, dude can you fuck off-?!” Lukas finally spoke up. This seemed to only piss the man off, and in his drunken state, he moved forward, attempting to shove Andrew to the side as he lunged for Lukas. @Sunfauna

The slight shove back from the drunkard only started to piss him off. "Laying hands on you? Why don't you take your own advice. That alcohol of yours is fuckin with your head" his voice rose, tapping the side of his own head to prove a point. "You can hardly stand straight, and you're thinkin' it's none of my business?" The shove from the man did cost him to lose his balance slightly, but grabbing the overhead bar to regain that balance wasn't the issue. The fact that this man in front of him was being hostile now for interrupting was enough proof that he was dangerous. Right now it seemed like a few people had perked up at the sudden raised voices, especially from the young man that was now behind Andrew. I can't back out of this now. He's clearly delusional from all that alcohol, which means if I leave, this kid is gonna get seriously hurt. Shit.. Why'd I have to be the damn one to step in? The moment the drunkard started to move, preparing to shove the tall male, Andrew made a effort to ground himself, holding his arms out to stop the man by grabbing his wrists. Andrew wasn't super strong or anything, but he did have some a bit of muscle on his slim figure. He made an effort to move himself forwards and slowly push the man backwards, away from the young man. "Attention Passengers, the Route 2 Train will be departing shortly. Please take your seats and make sure any carry on luggage is secured under the seats or on your person.." Damn, they're gonna close the doors soon.. I could try something, but I haven't done this since High School.. Andrew grit his teeth. There wasn't going to be any time to alert the guards of this, so he would need to take care of it quickly. A sharp inhale and slow exhale as Andrew gathered his strength and pulled the man sideways towards the doors. Grabbing ahold of the bars above, he swung and kicked the man out of the train car and onto the platform. The moment the doors closed and Andrew was on his feet again he flinched, fe

@Andrew Bishop (@Sunfauna) - jump Lukas flinched, closing his eyes as he prepared for a fist to land somewhere. Not the face, not the face. … Nothing. He looked up again to see Andrew pushing the drunkard back. All the while the man was attempting to fight back and failing. It was a sad sight really - he must’ve thought he really had the upper hand here. Lukas wanted to help, but all he could think to do was stand up to get out of the way. With widened eyes, he watched the scene unfold. People around them had also become more in tune with the situation. And as the man was kicked off the train rather forcibly, whispers and mumbles had risen amongst the passengers about what had just happened. Lukas himself was still in shock. He stared out of the doors as they closed, the drunk man curled up on the ground and holding his stomach where Andrew had kicked him. It hadn’t dawned on him to sit down until the train moved, making him stumble a bit before quickly taking the seat next to the man who had just saved him from possibly being sexually assaulted. For a moment, as the mumbles and excitement of the other passengers died down, Lukas found himself unable to look at the man beside him. However, it would be rude not to show his appreciation. “Thank you.” He said after a while. He fidgeted with the ends of his jacket sleeves over his hands, still staring straight forward as he replayed the situation over and over again in his head. Finally, he turned to look at the guy beside him. He blinked a couple of times. “Why did you..?” He asked. “Are you okay?”

A few pained groans escaped the blonde male's lips but otherwise he was fine. Sitting up some but flinching if he moved his body the wrong way, he was greeted by the brunette next to him, finally thanking him. Andrew's eyes shifted to look at the young male next to him but he seemed to be staring ahead, almost nervous to speak much to his savior. But the questions that finally followed caught his attention. "Why? Because it would've been on my conscious having to see someone get assaulted in a room with a bunch of people.. and nobody bats an eye? I understand they don't want to get hurt, but still.. The least they could have done was alert a security guard or something.." he answers, sitting up fully now but being careful. "If I had known I was going to be fighting a drunk man on the Subway, I would have stretched first..." a small smile forming on his lips. "I'm alright, though I probably should be the one asking if you are alright. He didn't hit you or anything, did he?" Andrew's eyes gazed down at the younger male, looking him over for any bruises or marks. "Glad I didn't get hit.. my Manager would be chewing me out for sure.." The thought of his manager scolding him for even attempting to fight someone would be bad enough. Cuts or bruises would surely put his schedule on hold and any news of this could certainly upset the company. Hopefully, none of this would get out. @Angel

Lukas’ eyes softened a bit as Andrew explained why he’d helped him out. Once again, he found it strange that no one else had said or done anything. “Either way, I owe you one.” He smiled back, finally relaxing a bit as the mood shifted. Though he was a bit surprised that this other male was so easily relaxed after something so intense. “I’m good.” Lukas shook his head. “He didn’t hurt me. Just.. spooked me a bit. That’s never happened to me before.” He ran his hand through the brown fluff on his head, moving it out of his eyes before looking back up to the other with a quizzical look. “Your manager? Why would he chew you out?” He asked. The seat he was in was the last one in the row, so he was able to comfortably shift and turn, sitting sideways in it with the leg against the wall bent against it and the other resting off of the seat. A sign that he was genuinely interested in the person he was talking with. “Oh, my name’s Lukas. And I was being serious about owing you. Thank you again.” He held his hand out to shake the other’s. Silver eyes sparked with genuine curiosity. @Sunfauna

Andrew pursed his lips a bit, wondering if he had said too much. It's not like he gave away what he was or anything. Plus, he didn't need any of this to get out. But if this guy was serious about oweing him, then maybe it was okay. "Yes, my Manager would certainly chew me out if I had gotten hurt during that fight. Ruining my face, I mean.." he pointed at his own face, circling it with his index finger. In a more hushed tone, he leaned a little closer and spoke, "I'm a Model for this Agency called Svelte Style. If you're serious about paying me back, then let this be it. Don't tell anyone about what I am or what I do. Understood?" he leaned away now, adjusting his shirt a bit. "The last thing I need is to get swarmed by people.. I get enough of that as it is.." Svelte Style was an Agency that focused on models that were.. well.. as the name suggests, Slim and Elegant. Andrew certainly had a pretty face back in his high school years and towards the end of his middle school years. Towards his senior year of high school, he was scouted by that very agency. So for the last several years of his life he had been focusing on that. Though he only took minor jobs, nothing full blown or major. Standing out wasn't his style. It did seem like he was full of himself though, but that was far from the case. Andrew didn't like attention by any means. He was used to it at work because of photographers and managers. But away from work? No, he wanted people to act like he didn't exist. It was simpler that way and caused less of a hassle on himself. Andrew's hazel eyes shifted to look down at the young man who introduced himself as Lukas. Even going so far as to offer a handshake. Best to go along with it, he's bound to forget about me after today anyway he thought as the taller male extended his own hand, accepting the handshake. "Andrew.." @Angel

Ruining his face? A confused look fell over his features as Andrew explained. Svelte Style.. they had magazines and billboards and so many other things in advertisement that Lukas had seen over and over again. But… he didn’t really care. He blinked a couple of times, unsure of what to say. Sure, this Andrew guy had a pretty face but.. It’s not like he was a movie star. Lukas personally didn’t see anything special about it. But, he wasn’t going to say that. “That’s definitely cooler than being a barista.” Lukas said after a moment. He was a barista at a local shop downtown, and while he enjoyed it, it definitely didn’t allow for a very lavish lifestyle. He wasn’t intending to stroke the others ego, but he also wasn’t planning on telling a complete stranger that he didn’t care if someone was famous in some way or not. Another smile found its way across his lips. “Well, it’s nice to meet you. Where are you heading, home?” Lukas was naturally a talkative person, and didn’t quite get the social boundaries of those who weren’t the same. He treated everyone equally, regardless of status. Despite wanting to continue a conversation, the train announcement came on. “Now arriving at Mulberry Street, Stop 8.” He looked up at the sign flashing the street name across it before saying a soft “Oh.” And grabbing his bag from the floor. “This is my stop.” He stood, grabbing the bar as the train began to slow. “Don’t worry, your secret is safe with me.” He flashed another quick smile before the doors opened and he stepped off. @Sunfauna

The blonde male tilted his head slightly, listening to the brunette talk. "Barista doesn't sound too bad" he commented, thinking how if he had a normal job like that, maybe he wouldn't draw so much attention. Though he always heard conversations of people wondering if he was a Model. Better to work an unassuming job and hear that rather than actually being one. Thankfully the work he did was minor, so he wasn't as noticed as those who took major roles for billboards and such. "O-Oh, yeah.. Mine is the last stop, so I'll be here a while" he responds, thinking to himself some more. He talks too much.. But he doesn't seem like a bad guy or anything "Now arriving at Mulberry Street, Stop 8" Andrew's eyes shifted to watch the brunette rise from his seat and grab his bag. The male told him that this was his stop and that his secret was safe. I hope so, otherwise I let my kindness show for nothing Once the doors closed, he found himself alone once again. Peace was finally restored. Leaning back in his seat, he let the music that had been playing in his EarPods to gain full attention as he listened to his music and scrolled through his phone. The rest of the train ride was uneventful and the walk home was just as peaceful and quiet. With it being dark out now, his features were relatively concealed so he could walk about freely at night without worry. Turning down one street, a set of apartments could be seen. "Finally.." he breathed as he ascended the stairs on the side of the apartment complex towards the third floor, the first door upon reaching the level with the number 30 on the plaque. Andrew pulled out his keys from his pocket and unlocked the door, stepping inside and shutting it. The day had been long but it felt longer after today's situation. Bending down to untie his shoes, Andrew was greeted by a small white cat with a pink collar around their neck. "It's good to see you, Melon. Hope today was a great day for naps.. I could go for one right now" An

drew scooped up the little white ball of fur, holding her in front of him before giving a very gentle headbutt to the feline and setting her down. "Let's get you something to eat, and then it's off to bed for me.." With his shoes removed and kept by the door, Andrew walked through his small apartment to the kitchen, reaching up towards a cabinet above the fridge and pulling out a small can of wet cat food. Melon mewed excitedly, pawing at the blonde's leg until her food was given to her. "Alright, time for bed.." @Angel

The rest of Lukas’ day was also uneventful. The walk home was quiet, just the music from his headphones. Still though, he seemed hyperaware. More alert. Maybe because of what had happened on the subway.. the last thing he wanted was another encounter like that. Andrew wasn’t around now, and who knew if someone else would help him should that situation somehow arise again. It didn’t take long before he was home though. The apartment building wasn’t the prettiest, and it definitely had its flaws. But it’s what he called home. He lived on the top floor of the 3 story building, in a rather small studio apartment. When he got in, he locked the door and double checked that it was indeed locked before setting down his bag. Despite being exhausted, he didn’t want to sleep just yet. He was curious about something. He found himself crawling into bed and pulling out his laptop. He looked up the modeling agency that Andrew claimed he worked for. It’s not like he didn’t believe him per se… but he was curious. And… what do you know. There he was. Front page. Curiosity got the better of Lukas, and he found himself scrolling through the different photos they had of Andrew. Eventually, he glanced at the clock. 2 A.M. A soft sigh escaped him and he closed his laptop before setting it aside and rolling over to go to sleep. Good thing he didn’t have work in the morning. When the suns rays peeked through his blinds, he groaned and sat up, rubbing his eyes. He hated staying in his apartment all day. And he had already slept in until 1 P.M. What could he do? Maybe go for a walk.. He climbed out of bed and got dressed. A neutral outfit - a brown turtleneck, with a coffee plaid shirt over it, tucked into a lighter brown pair of pants. He put on black shoes to try to match it before roughly combing through his messy hair to try to tame it a bit. Then, he grabbed his photo camera from the side table before heading out for the day. @Sunfauna

Morning came around after Andrew had called it a night at 10pm last night. The events of yesterday had tired the man out. His alarm from his phone was going off, and Melon was mewing, pawing at the blonde's face. Andrew was by no means a morning person. He didn't like waking up early, but it was a habit of his due to his job. Since a majority of his work took place during the day. Reaching over from under the covers, he swiped the screen to turn off the alarm, slowly rising from his bed and rubbing his eyes, yawning. Melon sat in his lap, purring and playfully swatting at loose strands of hair from her owner. With a sigh, he shifted himself to get out and make his bed, stumbling to the bathroom to shed his clothes from last night and hop into the shower to wash himself. He was lost in thought , thinking about yesterday until he heard a knock from his front door. "Andrew! Come on, we're gonna be late!" a female voice spoke, though muffled through the door and walls. Another sigh as the male turned off the hot water and stepped out, grabbing a towel from the rack in the bathroom and drying himself off. "It'll be a bit, Angie. Just have patience" Andrew called back, walking into his bedroom and opening his closet to pick out something to wear. He settled on a blue t-shirt, jeans and a pair of dark blue converse. Going into the bathroom to style his hair into a half bun. Outside, he could hear the sound of Angie coming into the apartment. He had given her a key as a form of insurance in case something happened to him. "Gah, Andrew! Get this cat. God.. She's like a little white rat.." "Just because she can't hear, doesn't mean she doesn't have feelings, Angie. Suck it up" he called from the bathroom, beginning to brush his teeth and put on deodorant. "What are you here for this time?" "Mr. Drake informed me that you're to be working over in Mulberry this afternoon. A shoot to help advertise a new cafe that's opened up. "Tea Time" it's called.." she poked her head
04:48
into the bathroom, leaning against the doorway. Angie was in her late 30's with short dark brown hair and glasses. A sleek black blazer and white shirt to match a pair of black slacks and black dress shoes. Andrew frowned a bit, turning his head to face the woman. "I told you I don't do major shoots. Cancel it or find someone else." "That's the thing, you're the only one who's available right now. If you cancel, then we lose business. Come on, Andrew.." Angie rested a hand on the male's forearm and he sighed heavily. "Fine. But this is the only time I'm doing it. Got it?" Angie nodded her head as Andrew moved past her and into the kitchen to feed Melon before following his Manager out of the apartment and down the stairs to the car. It would be quite the drive to Mulberry. Today is gonna suck, I just know it.. @Angel

The air was nice for a fall afternoon. Not too hot but not too cold either. Lukas enjoyed this kind of weather.. As he made his way out of his apartment, he walked down the street. He was heading to the park. He figured he could get some pretty pictures there. There was also a new little cafe he had been wanting to check out.. maybe they were hiring… A buzz in his back pocket caught his attention. He sighed and pulled out the phone, looking at the new text message. “So, anyone new in your life lately? You deserve someone to love on you! ❤️ Mom” A groan escaped his lips. This was their topic of conversation for the past few months. When would he find someone? When would that someone meet the family? It was obnoxious - as someone who didn’t really care to have a relationship at this point in his life.. Despite this, he found himself texting back. “You’ll meet him at thanksgiving.” Before he could stop himself, he’d hit send. And froze in his tracks. What the fuck did you just do? He yelled at himself internally, watching as his mother left a heart reaction on the message. Fuck. He groaned and shoved his phone back in his pocket. This was future Lukas’ problem. Right now, present Lukas was coming up on the new cafe. And there was a crowd in front of it.. “What in the world..?” @Sunfauna

The car ride over into Mulberry was uneventful, if you didn't count Angie constantly talking to Andrew on the way over. Mulberry however was a quaint little side of town. Parks with relatively nice places to eat. "We're almost there. Now, when we get there, you don't need to change your outfit. What you have on it what we were looking for anyway. Something casual. Mr. Drake will fill you in and you'll get straight to work, okay?" "I know. I just hate that you couldn't get anyone else for this.." "Like I told you earlier, there was nobody else. You were the last on the list of available people. Now quit looking like a grump. You'll get wrinkles.." The car came to a stop about half a block away and the two stepped out. From down the street, Andrew could see Mr. Drake. He was a tall man, though shorter than Andrew by two inches. His attire consisted of a light pink shirt with a white jacket and white pants with dark shoes. He was in his late thirties with black hair styled in a fade, his skin a rich olive in color. Drake held his arms out, greeting Andrew with a hug. "There you are! I was beginning to worry you wouldn't show up" he confessed and Andrew shook his head. "I thought about it, but since I'm the only one, and that this job seems to be very important for you, I agreed-" "Wonderful! I'm glad you agreed to do this for us. I know that you don't like major jobs, and I apologize profusely for it. But, I will make it worth your while. Hm?" That means he's going to pay me more than usual as compensation.. I'm not too worried about cash right now, cause this job pays well already. But if he says this job is important, I'll just go with it "That's fine, sir. Please don't trouble yourself.." "Nonsense! You are one of our best models! Now, the photographers are already inside. Go ahead and get situated and we'll start in 10 minutes, okay?" Drake smiled, a simple clap of his hands before walking off to talk to Security to keep people back while the shoot was

in progress. Walking into the cafe, Andrew was greeted by the staff, a few of the women eyeing him and smiling widely. He gave a charming smile back to them before taking a seat at one of the tables that a photographer had steered him over to. The shoot was beginning. @Angel

As Lukas approached the crowd, he attempted to peek over the people, curious as to what was going on. Mulberry wasn’t a very popular place, so something as small as a cafe opening wouldn’t be this big of a deal.. So what was going on? His attempts to see over other people was pointless. He was average, but standing behind everyone made even that useless. He sighed before looking around. People were mumbling about a model. About making Mulberry more popular. If you asked him, he’d rather keep it how it was. He decided to make his way to the side of the building. No one was back here, weirdly enough. He figured people would be on all sides of the place if it were this exciting. Around back, he wandered between a gap in the fence, coming to the back of the building. He wasn’t even sure what he was doing at this point - he was just so curious. The door was unlocked. Also.. weird. He opened it slowly, peeking his head in. It was the back of the kitchen area. There was no one in sight. Are they even open today? It didn’t even dawn on him that he could possibly be taken for breaking and entering. Not until he found himself in the middle of the kitchen. There was a window from there that peeked into the dining room - and there he saw Andrew, the guy he’d met yesterday. What was he doing here? Was this work? @Sunfauna

"Alright, just sit right here, Mr. Bishop. We aren't going to ask you to do anything super crazy, just act as if you were sitting down for some tea. Natural. That's all we ask for this" the photographer spoke, a smile on his face as he sets down a cup of tea that was brewed a few minutes ago from the lovely staff. There was also a book, to give that feel of relaxation. Just act natural, eh? Hard to do that with people staring at me and this guy snapping photos but okay.. Natural he thought to himself as he situated himself in his seat. Taking a deep breath, and slowly exhaling, he began. Andrew rested his elbow on the edge of the table, letting his fingers brush against his hair while his other hand rested on the pages of the book. He had this look in his eyes that felt like he was engaging in a story between the pages. The sound of a shutter clicking a few times caused Andrew to change his position slightly as the hand that was once on the pages was now on the tea that he began to look at and then drink. In truth, it wasn't bad by any means. Andrew wasn't much of a tea person as he didn't like anything with a spicy flavor but for the sake of the shoot, he dealt with it. There were a few more shutter clicks before the photographer from behind the camera motioned for Andrew to try different poses. There were certainly a few, even with the staff involved to make it more fluent. Some other photos involved little snacks here and there which he tried and posed with. So far, this seemed to be going relatively well without incident. Good. He didn't need anything stressful to be going on now in this shoot. But just thinking about it, he wondered if that was ever really true. "Alright! Let's take a break everyone! Andrew you did great! Here, take a look at these" the photographer motioned for Andrew to come over, looking at the photos as the photographer pointed out various things. Andrew nodding silently as his eyes gazed over the camera screen. <@256204924294135809

Ah. It was as if a lightbulb lit up above his head. It was work. I mean, it’s not like I thought he was lying. He thought to himself. He found himself just watching, staring as he fiddled with his own camera in his hands. It was attached to a strap that he wore around his neck, so he didn’t have to carry around his whole case. He was mesmerized, watching the session play out in front of him. Andrew was definitely made for the camera, but Lukas could tell he wasn’t into it. If he didn’t like it, why did he do it? For the money, maybe? Lukas probably would’ve sat there for hours just watching - even after the cameras were done flashing and Andrew was reviewing the photos. But suddenly, he felt a hand on his shoulder. It was big and rough, and it yanked him to turn around while a similar hand snatched the camera from his hand. Thankfully, the strap didn’t break, so it stayed around his neck. Lukas was faced with a big burly guy, probably around 6’5, and muscles bigger than his head. He was clearly security - wearing a full black outfit and glasses and a ball cap hat. This guy had Lukas by the shoulder and by his camera. “Thought you could get free pictures, huh? I should break this here and now. How many did you take?” The man was rather loud in his confrontation with Lukas, and it caused quite a few people in the dining area where the photos were being taken to turn and look into what was occurring. “No, no, don’t break it-! I can’t afford another-“ Lukas attempted to grab at the camera, but it only made the security man pull it back out of his reach. This time, he pulled it hard enough for the strap to rip and the camera to be pulled off his neck. “I didn’t take any pictures!” He insisted desperate to save his camera by any means and still reaching for it despite the security guard getting more defensive. @Sunfauna

Andrew was in mid conversation with one of the photographers until some noise off to the side had garnered attention. Lifting his head, his eyes landed on the security guard with someone. Another fan.. They really should tighten down on the security.. he sighed, about to go back to looking at the photos until he realized who it was that was being held. Is that.. Lukas? "Excuse me" Andrew told the photographer before walking over towards the scene. "Jamie, it's alright. I know him" he raised a hand, signaling the guard to release Lukas. "What are you doing here?" he asked, tilting his head in curiosity when he saw the camera in his hands. "I guess that answers my question.." By the looks of it, Lukas had to have found his way through Security. It wasn't Lukas' fault, just the management team's poor judgement on securing the entire perimeter. Andrew ran a hand through his hair and exhaled, wondering what to do about the situation. "I thought you were a fan at first, so I almost overlooked this. How'd you get in here anyway?" The fact that Lukas was in the back must have meant he came from the back. Since all the other security guards were towards the front keeping the group of people back. "Andrew! What's going on back here?" a female voice rose, causing the male to turn his head to see Angie briskly walking towards the small group. "It's nothing, Angie.." "Doesn't look like nothing. I don't recognize you, how'd you get back here?" she folded her arms, staring at Lukas. The blonde cleared his throat, "It's nothing to be too concerned about. Though I will say not having security securing the entire building is a bit of a problem. See to it that this doesn't happen again, yes?" he looked at Angie and then at Jamie before his eyes landed on Lukas' once more. "Do you know him?" Angie questioned and Andrew nodded. "Yeah.." he breathed, "I met him on the train yesterday. We kind of.. got into a situation.." Angie raised an eyebrow, "What kind of situation? Pleas

e don't tell me you-" "I told you it's fine! He was just getting harassed by some drunk guy.. so I.. helped him out.." The woman pinched her temples, an annoyed huff escaping her lips. "You are a difficult man to control, you know that? You didn't get hurt, did you?" Andrew shook his head, "No, nothing like that. I didn't get hit or anything. Pulled a muscle, but that's healed already" Angie stared at Andrew for a few seconds, then at Lukas for a moment. "Fine. But you can't stay back here. Since Andrew knows you, you are welcome to stick around, but.." she pointed to the camera "No pictures, understand? Or Drake will have my head.." Soon enough, the woman walked away with the security guard, probably to talk about tightening security, leaving the two by themselves. "You got balls sneaking into a shoot like this.." the blonde's attention was now on Lukas, leaning against the counter. "If I hadn't said anything, you probably would have been arrested for trespassing or something. That or Jamie might have beaten the shit out of you.." @Angel

Lukas’ attempts to reclaim his camera only faltered as he heard Andrew’s voice combined with footsteps approaching. He’s saving me. Again. That thought was a little frustrating - as he didn’t want Andrew to see him as defenseless or something. However, in this case, he had to be grateful. The security guard returned the camera and Lukas took it with a sigh of relief and held it close. The security guard huffed and crossed his arms as Andrew called him off. As the blonde eyed the camera, the shorter boy’s eyes widened slightly. “I wasn’t taking pictures of you. I was heading to the park and there was the crowd and I was just curious. I didn’t know you’d be here…” His face had flushed a light red out of embarrassment, and he avoided eye contact. Why had he snuck in? Why did he let curiosity get the best of him. He fiddled with the camera in his hands. “I just went through the back..” Lukas isn’t good with authority figures or being yelled at. So the lady - Angie as Andrew called her - kind of intimidated the brunette for a moment. He tensed, unable to figure out how to respond. Luckily he didn’t have to. Andrew was the one to speak up. He kind of just stood there awkwardly, feeling bad for having gotten the blonde yelled at. “No pictures.” He repeated back, nodding. When she finally left, Lukas was able to relax. His eyes fell on the taller boy in front of him, and his hands continued to fiddle with the camera. “I’m sorry.” He said, unsure of what else he was supposed to say at the moment. His phone buzzed in his back pocket. At first, he ignored it. Then it buzzed again. And again. And once more. He sighed and pulled it out. The screen awoke, revealing a slew of text messages from his little sister, all screaming about how he’d found a partner and how she was so excited he was actually going to have a love life. He groaned quietly before ignoring them and putting his phone in his pocket. “I was just heading to the park to take pictures and got distracted.
03:08
I’ll get out of your hair.” He said, fixing the strap to his camera by tying it in a knot and replacing it over his neck.

The blonde was silent for a bit, letting the thoughts of what had happened turn in his head. "Well, I don't peg you for someone to sneak in pictures of Models. Especially me, I'm nothing special" he admits, rubbing the back of his head. "So you don't have anything to be sorry about. It's not your fault unless you want it to be" Andrew glanced over his shoulder to look at Angie talking to Jamie and to Mr. Drake. Staring beyond towards outside where Security was keeping the crowd back. "If you don't mind, would it be alright if I tagged along? It's getting stuffy in here. I think they've got enough photos.." his attention was brought back to look at Lukas. "I can only handle so much at a time these days" While Andrew didn't mind the work too much, there were times where it felt constricting. The idea of people staring at him constantly was something he didn't like. He hated unwanted attention. Maybe it's because he's spent so many years doing it that it was now starting to drain him? But it's not like hasn't thought about quitting this job. There were several occasions where he thought about it, but never actually did it. His reasons were his and his alone. "Come on, let's head out through the back" he said calmly while pushing himself up from the counter and walking around and into the kitchen, towards the back of the building. "I don't know where this park you're going to is, so you'll have to show me. I don't visit on this side of town too often" @Angel

Lukas had been ready to just head out on his own, but then.. Andrew wanted to tag along. The brunette’s eyes widened slightly in surprise before he shook his head. “No yeah, you can come. Are you it’ll be alright?” He asked. Not like Andrew seemed to really care if it did. They made their way to the back door, where the shorter of the two pushed it open. “It’s not too far.” He responded, holding the door open for the model before beginning to walk. Thankfully nobody seemed to notice. As they walked, Lukas continued to fiddle with his camera. “I can imagine why you’re exhausted.” He said after a while. “I don’t think I’d be able to handle it. My mom always said I was pretty and should be the one in front of the camera, not behind it. But I prefer to be the one taking the photos..” He was trying to make small talk. But he felt awkward. Why would someone as famous as Andrew be interested in doing anything with someone like him? He would glance at the other every now and then, just to sort of guage how he was feeling. It didn’t really work. The park came into view eventually, and Lukas pointed it out. “That’s it. It’s nothing crazy extravagant. It’s got a little play area for kids, a field, and trail that goes through the woods. Did you just wanna see it..?” He asked. The park was empty, not unsurprising for a weekday and it being mid-fall. It was a little chilly out and kids were in school. Without putting a lot of thought into it, Lukas habitually began to snap pictures. He’d done this hundreds of times, and yet he didn’t mind taking pictures of almost the same thing everytime he came. @Sunfauna

"Yeah, it's fine. I do this all the time. Sure, Angie gets mad about it, but she understands. We've known each other a long time" he admits, following after Lukas out the back door of the building. This sort of painted him as one who didn't much have a care for some things. Though, it would be hard to guess what he was thinking, or the exact reasoning for why he did what he did. The two walked in silence for a while, minus the small chit-chat that Lukas was attempting to make. Was this guy timid or something? Andrew wouldn't put it past him if he was. "It's not so much the modeling in general, I'm fine with it. I just don't like talking to people too much. My social battery drains super fast" he admits casually. "Honestly, when I can't deal with it anymore I just.. leave. Sometimes I don't say anything. It puts people in a panic sometimes, but they'll deal with it.." Andrew shoved his hands into his pockets, staring up at the sky for a few seconds, listening to Lukas talk. "Well, your mom is probably right. You're face isn't half bad to look at. But if it's what you feel comfortable with, then who cares, right? Do what you love, even if that involves taking pictures" There were times when Andrew could be blunt and say things without holding back. Sometimes the things said could be taken out of context, but what he thinks and says is what he believes to be right. With the park in sight, the blonde started to relax a bit more. Especially since the park was basically empty now. No people except them. Perfect. "I mean, I don't mind spending some time there. It's empty, right? Perfect place for me" His hazel eyes shifted to watch Lukas as he went ahead to snap some photos. Andrew on the other hand was taking in the nature, walking ahead of Lukas and following along the trail. It felt almost, serene. @Angel

Andrew’s comment about Lukas’ face caught him off guard. It made his face flush once again. He wasn’t used to being complemented so directly. Should he say thank you? He didn’t. As much as he’d wanted to, they both just got distracted with their own things. Lukas had never had company on these little trips. So reminding himself that he did was something he had to do multiple times. He’d either start walking a different way or just forget that Andrew was there entirely. As Andrew walked ahead of him, Lukas stopped for a moment. The model’s manager had told him no pictures earlier.. but a few couldn’t hurt right? And he wasn’t posting them anywhere.. he found himself crouched down, taking pictures of Andrew as he walked. The colored leaves were falling around him, and it ended up being quite a pretty set of photos. The only reason he stopped was because his phone started to ring. He let go of his camera to hang from his neck while he pulled it out. Before he could even get a hello out, the squeals of his sister blasted from the other side of the phone, making him pull it away from his ear. “Luuukasssss!” She squealed. “You never answered my texts!” Lukas sighed and put his free hand to the back of his neck. “Sorry sis. I was.. busy.” She didn’t really seem to care. “Mom told me you’ll have someone for us to meet at Thanksgiving! I’m SOOO excited! It took you long enough to finally snatch someone up.” “Lily…” he sighed her name, turning to face away from Andrew on the trail. He was slightly embarrassed about the whole situation. “Can you send me a photo?” She asked. “You’ll have to just wait.” He responded. “I have to go-“ He quickly hung up, despite her insisting she didn’t want him to on the other end of the line. He mumbled something under his breath before turning to rejoin the taller boy in front of him. “Sorry.” He said. “Are you liking the park so far?” He thought about Andrew’s statement earlier, on how he’d never come to this side of town. Maybe becau

Andrew walked on ahead, oblivious to the fact that Lukas had been taking photos of him. His attention was more on the little nature walk. Fall was probably his favorite season. He considered it the Season for Change. Like the trees shedding their leaves, he too felt like a change of pace would be good, hence the walk in the park. The sound of a phone ringing caused the blonde to look over his shoulder, seeing Lukas talking on the phone. As to what it was about, he didn't know, nor care. Instead he crouched down near a small gathering of wildflowers. Yellow and Orange to match the falling leaves. Once he heard Lukas' voice and the sound of footsteps he rose from where he was and turned to look at him. "Yeah, it's really quiet here. Plus, I like Autumn, so this is really pretty" he answered, catching a leaf between his fingertips. "I don't go out too much these days on my own. Work drains me so I tend to go home and straight to bed.." he admits openly. "If I had known about this park, I would have moved over here. This place would have sold me in a instant." The blonde tilted his head slightly at Lukas though, feeling as if something was off. "You doing okay? You seem worried about something.." @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/08/2024 05:04
As Lukas approached, he couldn’t help but smile at Andrew’s observations of the wildflowers. “I’ve only ever seen those grow around here.” He said, leaning down to pluck on. They were so pretty around this time.. the way they matched the season and the leaves was mesmerizing. “I agree with you. Autumn is my favorite time of year..” he put the flower in his own hair. The vivid orange had a nice contrast to the brown locks the flower was tucked into. Lukas’ head tilted and he couldn’t help but laugh a little under his breath. “Sorry, but this side of town doesn’t seem like.. your kind of place..” he said. He wasn’t sure if Andrew would even understand what he meant by that. “I mean.. you’re like.. famous or whatever.. this part of town isn’t exactly extravagant.” He had begun walking again, fiddling and messing with his camera settings. “Hm..? Oh..” he glanced back at Andrew before beginning to walk again. “I’ve just.. dug myself into a hole is all..” he mumbled. How was he going to explain his situation? Why would Andrew even care? “It’s stupid really.” He sighed and stopped to look at the taller male again. “Would you believe me if I told you I’ve never dated anyone? In my entire life?” Despite his looks, Lukas had never been keen on dating or romantic things in general. Not like he ever found anyone to explore it with either. “My family has harassed me about it for.. forever. My coworkers constantly tell me I’m letting time slip away and my looks won’t last forever yada yada…” He looked around, finding a bench on the trail. He decided to sit on it and continue his little ramble. “The point is, I told my mom that I was bringing someone home for Thanksgiving and well.. that person just doesn’t.. exist.” @Sunfauna

Andrew listened as Lukas talked about how this side of town wasn't a very nice place to live because he was famous. It did strike a nerve with the blonde, and he wasn't afraid to show it. "I'm not some stuck up rich guy if that's what you're thinkin' " he sighed, rubbing his neck. "Honestly, I hate spending money. I don't live in some fancy house or condo or anything. Just some small apartment." Andrew was not one to spend money willy-nilly. In fact whenever he would go and eat he always picked up the cheap stuff to make and eat at home. He wasn't one to eat out or anything. One reason was because eating out was expensive, and the second was because it would garner unwanted attention from those who recognized him. He didn't need that extra stress in his life. "So whatever notions you have about me, they're most likely wrong. Got it?" The two had walked in silence for a little bit until Lukas took a seat on a nearby bench. Andrew followed suit. While he was still a bit pissed off about the comment from the brunette, the anger slowly faded away with enough time. However, once the brunette started talking and explaining the situation he got himself into, it seemed to bring that slight anger right back. "You lied to your family? Seriously?" he sucked in air sharply and exhaled harshly. "Dude, that's how you dig a bigger grave for yourself.." Andrew had been single for a total of 9 years. 10 by Christmas Eve. He used to be in a relationship with a guy all throughout high school, but it was short lived when he caught him cheating with another guy. Lying and being unfaithful was what he hated the most in a partner. So the fact that Lukas was lying to his family was enough to tick him off. The blonde reached a hand and planted it on top of the brunette's head, squeezing his head. "You should ignore what people say. Sure, they can be concerned, but bullying their kid, friend or co-worker into dating isn't something to help the situation. You lying to your family is on
05:24
ly going to make that worse, you know. You're better off telling the truth, cause there is no way in hell you'd get a partner by Thanksgiving. That's way too soon" Blunt was an understatement in this case. Andrew was being completely serious and truthful right now. Would his words hurt? Maybe. But he wanted to tell Lukas straight up about the consequences. With a sigh, the blonde released his hand from Lukas' head, resting it behind him on the bench. "Listen, I'm not the best at sugarcoating this shit, but if you don't actively try, that lie of yours will never become the truth. You have to put yourself out there, otherwise nobody will know and you're remain single." Despite hearing all of this, Andrew was a bit surprised that Lukas had been single all this time without any relationship experience. But in a way, he kind of understood why. The kid was about as nervous as a small dog. Which makes him an easy target for unsavory folk, like that drunk guy on the train. This kid's in a tough spot.. @Angel

Lukas had felt bad for his comment. He hadn’t intended it as a personal attack on the blonde. In fact, he’d intended it to be just a general statement and probably more of an attack on Mulberry if anything. But one thing Lukas did realize was that Andrew was definitely not like other rich and famous people. He didn’t seem to realize himself how lucky he had it. He had the money for so much, yet was humble enough to spend so little. So, in short, Lukas did feel bad for making Andrew feel like he was so different. But he felt less bad when he had started to lecture him about lying. “How old are you?” He asked out of the blue. “Because the way you’re treating me feels like you’re way older than I am, yet I’m pretty sure we’re fairly close in age.” He huffed, annoyed that it felt like he was being treated like a child being punished for lying. “You don’t get it. It’s not that I want to have someone. I couldn’t care less. I’ve never really cared about being with someone.” His phone buzzed in his pocket. He pulled it out to see yet another text from his sister. “Grandma and grandpa are excited to meet your partner!” Great. She’s telling everyone. Another frustrated sigh left his lips. “I didn’t want to lie. It just kind of happened. I wanted them to get off my back. That’s all. I’ll just.. tell them we broke up or something and then maybe they’ll leave me alone to deal with the “heartbreak.”” He did air quotes with his hands. @Sunfauna

"I'm 26, but I've at least got experience, unlike you" he states sharply. "I was in a relationship for 4 years before breaking it off with my ex. He ended up being a liar and a cheater. After that? Been single ever since" he shrugged his shoulders. "But believe me when I say that lying is not the answer." Andrew took a breath for a moment, thinking for a minute before exhaling. "If you tell them that you broke up with your 'partner' then that will just make them suspicious.. seriously.." Now this was starting to annoy him more. "If you don't care about having a partner or not, then whatever others say shouldn't matter. Let it run off your back like water.." Though the way it seemed, the fact that Lukas was trying to dodge all of the worries from friends and family by having a fake partner did dig a hole. Lying again saying they broke up would dig it deeper. Thanksgiving wasn't that far away in terms of a couple months. It seemed that deep down, to Andrew at least, that Lukas did care. A little bit at least. "If you're that worried, you could always ask a friend or something to fill in as this imaginary partner. You at least have those, right?" he raised an eyebrow, a slight smirk on his face. Just as Andrew opened his mouth to speak again, a female voice caught his attention. He turned his head, noticing a young woman who looked all too giddy. In her hand? A magazine where on the front clearly displayed Andrew's likeness. Shit. @Angel

Lukas furrowed his eyebrows. That’s shitty.. He thought in regard to Andrew’s ex cheating on him. Maybe that’s what he was scared of when it came to relationships. Dedicating so much time and energy to someone only for it to be possibly thrown away in a matter of seconds. “Okay, I get it.” He mumbled, sitting back in the bench as he tried to think of what he could do. He had to admit the other boy was right. “I know it shouldn’t matter.” He responded. He was less talkative now, less argumentative. He was frustrated and trying to figure a way out of the mess he’d created. He glanced to the other after his comment about having friends and Lukas had actually started to laugh and go to respond, but the sound of a girl’s soft giggle caught their attention. Had she followed us here? What is she doing? What does she want? Lukas sat up and even stood up off the bench. “Listen, as much as you think it’s not, this is creepy.” He said to her. Without really thinking about it, he had sort of stepped in front of Andrew, as if getting between them. “He’s a person too. He deserves a break without a fan following him into the middle of the woods.” He looked at Andrew over his shoulder, giving him a look of What do you want to do here? @Sunfauna

The young woman only smiled a bit at Lukas' attempt to chase her off. Clearly she didn't see the brunette as much of a threat. However, actual threats? She was fantastic at those. "You know, I could say the same thing. I saw you getting hounded by a security guard. So clearly we're both in the negative, no?" She took a step closer, showing that not only did she have the magazine in her hand but also her phone. "The right thing to do.. is just let me have a couple photos with Mr. Bishop" she stopped when she was about ten feet away. "Course, you seem pretty adamant about protecting someone from a few photos when you're no saint either" That smile on her lips seemed to turn into one that was a bit more devious. She held her phone out, showing Lukas taking pictures of Andrew while his back was turned. Andrew stood from the bench, staring at the fan for a few seconds, trying to gauge the situation. Was he mad about the photos? Absolutely, but not in the way you'd think. "Those that creep and take pictures of strangers isn't something I wanna be associated with.." he said calmly. "..things like that can cause a story to get twisted." "Twisted? Oh please, Mr. Bishop. This is just an incentive for the boy.. He doesn't seem to be one of your model pals, which means it shouldn't matter to him. All I want is a few photos with you and that's it.." This was not what he wanted to have happen today. To be trapped with a fan who was so adamant about bringing others down to get what she wanted. The worst kind. Using blackmail. At first, Andrew was silent, before walking from behind Lukas and towards the girl. "Hmph, I knew you'd be complia-" In one swift action, Andrew snatched the phone from the girl and proceeded to chuck it far and into a nearby pond. The woman, standing there jaw open at what had just happened. "You bastard!" she shouted. This prompted Andrew to turn towards Lukas, grabbing his wrist and pulling him away. "We gotta get outta here before she does somethi

Lukas tilted his head. The situation with the security guard? If she’d seen that, she would’ve seen that it was resolved and didn’t really have any consequences. Thanks to Andrew that is. When she stepped closer, Lukas eyed the phone in her hand. As if he already knew, he could feel his heart drop to his stomach. He knew it before it even left her mouth. She took photos. She had taken photos of Lukas’ secret photos. He stole a glance at Andrew, but he couldn’t guage his reaction to this revelation. He looked back to her. “The difference is what you’re planning on doing with your photos.” He said in an attempt to defend himself. He looked back at Andrew. He still couldn’t tell how he was feeling. Was his statement about being a creep and taking pictures of a stranger directed at him somehow? He felt bad. The pictures he’d taken he thought were just an innocent act. Yet.. the more he thought about it the more he felt strange about it. Technically, he and Andrew weren’t really friends. He was pulled from his thoughts as Andrew walked past him. “Andrew..?” He started, but trailed off. It’s not like he could make him stop. If he was gonna comply with her then he… A gasp left Lukas’ mouth as he watched Andrew snatch then promptly throw the phone. His expression mirrored hers, open jaw in surprise. At first, he couldn’t believe what he’d just done, but as soon as Andrew grabbed his wrist, Lukas turned and began running with him. “I know where we can go.” He said after a moment. He glanced behind him to see if maybe she had followed, but she must’ve went for her phone. “We have to make sure she doesn’t catch up though. I’d hate to have her find out where I live.” He gave Andrew a smile before leading him further down the trail, then making a u-turn on a smaller trail that branched off the main one. Every now and then, he’d glance backwards to see if the girl was there. @Sunfauna

Andrew didn't care about what others thought of him. If this made the woman hate him, so be it. It would be one less person fawning over him. His concern was getting away from the situation. Andrew was leading Lukas away while the female had gone after her phone, clearly upset by the whole thing as she shouted towards the two men. He paid no attention to it. Hearing the brunette speak of knowing a place to go, he just nodded silently and let Lukas lead the way this time. "Well, besides that girl, the park was nice at least.." he said, slowly letting go of the brunette's wrist. "I didn't hurt you or anything when I grabbed you, did I?" he asked, glancing at the male for a second. Sometimes, no.. most of the time he did things without thinking. Would that stuff backfire on him? Eventually. But for now, he was just glad to be away from it all. The trees in the park were a vibrant orange, with shades of red and yellow dancing on the leaves. It was like the trees were on fire. Obviously they weren't, but the color variation gave that impression. It was his favorite season, and strangely enough he was glad that Lukas had shown this park to him. He was a bit saddened that he'd have to leave it, due to the circumstances but it was a nice moment to relax, that's for sure. "I'm surprised you stood up to that fan" he commented to Lukas, looking down at him for a second before looking ahead of them. "I didn't think you would.." @Angel

When it finally felt like they were in the clear, Lukas slowed down to a walk. He still wanted to enjoy the scenery while they could… “Hm.. she was just.. being rude.” He replied before shaking his head. “No no, I’m alright.” He gave Andrew another smile - a way of reassuring him before looking down at his wrist. Sure, it had been unexpected, but it didn’t bother him any. “I’m glad you liked the park. Maybe sometime we can come back here. When a crazy fan doesn’t have the chance to follow you from a shoot, that is.” He put his hands in the pockets of his jeans as he walked, his camera lightly bouncing against his chest as it hung from its straps. He hasn’t mentioned the pictures. He thought. It still scared him - the possibility that Andrew might be mad at him for taking them. But, it seemed the blonde was more focused on other things. “Hm? Why wouldn’t I have? You helped me yesterday, and today.. it’s only fair. Plus, you deserve to just.. exist.” He said, shrugging his shoulders. “You should be able to go to a park and enjoy the scenery without some crazed fan trying to blackmail you or the person you’re with…” he glanced down to his camera, then up again. “I’ll delete them.” He said simply, hoping that Andrew would just know what he was referring to. Eventually, they made their way out of the woods, and Lukas led Andrew down the street towards his apartment. “She’s not following, do you still want to hide out in my apartment? Isn’t someone looking for you by now?” He looked up at the taller boy, tilting his head slightly. @Sunfauna

Andrew pursed his lips a bit at the mention of deleting the photos. "I was mainly talking to her about it.. But since you've admitted to taking them.. I'll let you keep them. Just don't post them anywhere, okay?" he walked alongside Lukas now, showcasing the height difference between the two. "I was mad at first, but you don't seem like the type to flaunt stuff.." He had been mad about the photos, but from what he had noticed from Lukas, was that he liked taking photos just to take them. Whatever caught his interest. That's the vibe he got anyway. "I wanna see them later, though.." As the two walked, getting closer towards Lukas' apartment, the brunette asked the question of whether someone was searching for him. "I do this a lot.. Angie will get mad about it, but she understands. I'll let her know that I'm fine.." Reaching into his pocket he pulled out his cellphone, swiping at the screen and texting to his manager. He did notify her about the fan, which of course she worried about but after reassuring, Angie did stop pestering and let him be. "So.. where's this apartment?" he asked, shoving his phone back into his pocket. @Angel

Lukas couldn’t help but smile to himself as Andrew told him to keep the photos. It made him a little giddy. He was relieved he wasn’t angry with him. In all honesty, if this had been the last time they ever hung out, Lukas probably would’ve deleted them anyways. But now that he had Andrew’s blessing… “Of course I’ll show you.” As they turned a corner, his apartment building came into view. It was very run down, and looked not well taken care of. Lukas didn’t mind it usually, but now as he realized he was coming closer with Andrew, he became a little self conscious about it. What would Andrew think? Would he even want to come inside? He could feel a knot of anxiety forming in his chest. He cleared his throat in attempts to get rid of it, but this proved useless. Once at the building, he led Andrew to the top floor where he lived. His nerves were evident as he fumbled with the lock, seemingly having issues with both finding the key and getting it in. But he eventually did. The door swung open, and he made his way in. The entire studio was hardwood floor. It was basically one giant square. His “kitchen” in one corner. A fridge, a bit of counter space with a microwave on it, the sink, then the stove, then a smaller counter next to that - in that order. His bed was in the adjacent corner to that, and his TV in the corner across from his bed. He didn’t have a lot, but what he had he was fine with. The run down nature carried into his apartment. It wasn’t like there was much he could do about it. Mold in one corner seemed to be festering - he didn’t have anything in that corner for that reason. The window by his bed didn’t open, and looked gross, no matter how much he’d tried to scrub it. The ceiling had a bit of exposed piping, and water stains strewn about. The attached bathroom was tiny - barely enough room for one person. When he stepped it, his face was red from the embarrassment. “This is home.” @Sunfauna

Following the brunette up the stairs, Andrew could tell that this apartment was far cheaper than the one he was in. Damn, I could move here and save more money.. he thought to himself as they made it up to the top floor. From the looks of it, he noticed that Lukas was fumbling with his keys. Was he nervous? He probably thinks I'd say something about his place.. it can't be that bad. Upon stepping into the apartment once the door was unlocked he saw the condition of it. It clearly was very cheap and in need badly of repairs. "Well, this is a health violation.." he comments, turning to look at Lukas who was red in the face. Not from anger, just embarrassment by the looks of it. "I'm not gonna make fun of you.." he starts to say calmly to Lukas. "But this can't be good for you.. How much do you pay for rent here?" While it was small, it was also very depressing to look at. Andrew's apartment was about this size, maybe a little bigger, but it certainly didn't have leaks and mold. A place like this would be where you go to die, not live. But Andrew wasn't going to say any of that to him. The kid looked to be going through it enough. "If it makes you feel any better, I live in a cheap apartment too. Not like this, but.. it's not something fancy or anything.." @Angel

Lukas fiddled with his camera, making his way over to his bed and sitting on it. He pulled it off over his neck. “It’s not that bad.” He said, even though he knew that wasn’t true. He had tried to make it more homey, having photos hanging up of him and his best friend Taylor, and a couple of lamps and a rug on the floor next to his bed. “Rent..? Uhm..” he looked up as if trying to think. “$800.00?” He said. “It’s all I can afford. I barely scrape by as it is.” He shrugged. “It’s fine for the price.” He tilted his head a bit as Andrew explained his own living situations. “But, don’t you make like.. a lot of money?” He asked. “Couldn’t you afford something bigger then?” Now with the camera in his hand, he flipped it in order to look at the gallery stored in it. “That’s why I was so scared your security was gonna smash my camera. I can’t afford a new one. And without it, my only hobby is down the drain.” He spoke while pressing buttons, bringing up the photos he’d taken earlier. “Here, do you wanna see?” @Sunfauna

Andrew Bishop BOT 03/09/2024 03:17
"$800? Hm.. I'd say this place would be at least $600 or so given the conditions.." he followed Lukas over towards his bedroom side of the apartment. It was in poor condition, he knew that much, but trying to scrape by was certainly a bit sad to hear. Granted, Andrew chose that lifestyle for himself, whereas Lukas was living it with no other options. "Mine is about $995 or so" he sighed, "Though a cheap one like this would be great too.." The question however that the brunette asked had him stop for a moment. "I don't like spending money if I can help it.." he told the brunette, walking over and taking a seat next to him on the bed. "The only things I pay are my phone bill, rent and utilities. That's it. Anything I eat is always the cheap stuff from convenience stores. I never eat anywhere.." There was a pause, "..at least not anymore. I just save my money in case of an emergency" To think that this famous model here in Lukas' apartment was a guy who preferred a minimalistic lifestyle was something else. A guy who didn't care about fame or money. He did it because it was a job. Sure it paid well, but there was a reason he took the job, but it wasn't a reason that he could just openly tell people. At the mention of the photos, Andrew leaned over to take a look. His face was a bit close to Lukas, but Andrew wasn't concerned about that. "Hey, these don't look half bad.. This backshot here.." he pointed to the photo that showcased Andrew walking down the trail, the falling leaves and the trees. It was like he was walking into an inferno. "This one is really nice. It doesn't even show my face.." @Angel

Lukas smiled as Andrew joined him. He was appreciative that he wasn’t being super judgmental.. He also realized that Andrew definitely didn’t let fame and money get to his head. He was as he’d said earlier - just like any other guy. He could feel himself relaxing a bit in his presence. “I appreciate it. You not .. judging me.” He shrugged as he flipped through the photos. “I know it’s not safe probably but, I really can’t afford anywhere else.” He was mentioning this as though it was just a normal thing. Once they flicked to the picture of Andrew with his back turned, Lukas smiled wide. “I love this one. You look nice in it, and you can’t even tell it’s you. The orange looks really nice..” He hesitated before holding the camera out to the other boy. The thing about Lukas was he never let anyone touch his camera. It was precious to him. Just as Andrew took it, his phone rang. He pulled it out and wasn’t very surprised about who was calling. It was his sister. Again. He sighed and answered, knowing that if he didnt, she’d whine to mom. “Hello?” He answered, and almost immediately she squealed into the phone, going on about how now their father knows and their aunt and uncles and their cousins. He had to pull his phone away from his ear in order to avoid hurting it, and despite that, every word she said was crystal clear. “Lily, lily, stop.” He said trying to get her to shut up for once second. “Lily!” She finally quieted down. “Please, don’t tell anyone else. Please?” “Well why not?” She asked. “It’s exciting!” He groaned and pinched the bridge of his nose. “Because, this is the reason I’ve never dated before. You guys are so .. obsessive.” He admitted. It felt like everyone was so focused on him, as if they didn’t have their own lives. He didn’t understand why him getting into a relationship - even if it wasn’t real - was such a huge deal. “We just don’t want you to be alone forever.” She said softly. Why does that matter? @Sunfauna

Andrew took the camera when it was handed to him, looking at the photos while Lukas was on the phone. They did come out well, I'll give him that he thought to himself almost proud, despite him not being the photographer and the fact he had no clue at the time of the photos being taken unless mentioned. The way his golden hair flowed in the wind. The casual yet relaxed steps he took while on that trail. Surrounded by fiery orange trees. Though, the moment he heard the sound of shouting from the other end of that phone conversation caused him to flinch in surprise. The camera in his hands took air and he dove after it without a second thought. The blonde ended up on the floor, face-first with the camera held in his hands above his head. The sound being quite a loud one due to Andrew being a rather large guy. An exhaled sigh of relief. Sitting up some, he noticed that he had scraped the bridge of his nose and it had started to slowly bleed. "Shit.." he said as he reached up and lightly touched his nose, wincing a bit and seeing the small bits of blood on the pad of his middle finger. Angie is gonna be pissed.. Thinking how that woman would burst a fuse just by him hurting himself was enough to give him a headache. Andrew checked the camera to make sure it was okay. It was, thankfully. "Damn, she's got some pipes on her" he comments, realizing it had been quite a while since he had gotten spooked like that. He certainly wasn't expecting it; judging by how talkative and excited she was. A pain in the ass is what that family sounded like. Thankfully, Andrew's family was quite small, or if not small, at least quiet. Since breaking up with his ex all those years ago, his family hasn't harassed him into finding somebody else. They knew what Andrew was like and even respected him for it. Hearing a different family experience was more so a shock to his system. @Angel

As soon as Lukas heard the thump, he whipped around to see Andrew on the floor. His eyes widened as his heart dropped, expecting to see the camera shattered on the floor. But… instead, it was in Andrew’s hands. “Shit- are you okay?” He automatically moved to help, but stopped as Lily screamed in his ear again. “Is that them?! Is that them?! Tell me tell me are they there!!?” Lukas groaned in frustration. “Lily! I’ll call you later!” She protested, but he didn’t care. He hung up in the middle of her protests. “Holy shit dude-“ He said, tossing his phone on his bed before making his way over. He took the camera from him and also tossed it on the bed, not giving a second thought to checking it. “Are you alright? You’re bleeding.” He frowned and made his way to the bathroom, grabbing a first aid kit out of the cabinet and then returned. “Here.” He said and opened it, grabbing out a small alcohol pad. Gently, he cleaned the small cut. “Sorry, I should’ve known she’d do that..” He mumbled. “Isn’t your manager gonna kill you? She was worked up about you possibly getting hurt by that drunk guy - I can’t imagine how she’ll react to you ruining your perfect face.” When it was clean, he used a small bandage over it to keep it from bleeding more. “Oh no, now you have flaws.” He said in a teasing manner before closing up the first aid kit and returning it to its place in the bathroom. When he was done, he came back out to Andrew. “I’m really sorry. She’s just.. excited..” He sounded sort of melancholic. He was feeling guilty - not only about lying but about the fact that he’s probably going to let her down. Her excitement was for nothing and she didn’t even know it yet. @Sunfauna

The blonde shook his head, "I'm fine, don't worry about it.." he told the brunette. He wasn't really worried too much about the cut himself. He knew Angie would chew him out about it, but when didn't she? He was used to it. Though, the thing that Lukas said seemed to catch him off guard, but only for a second. "My manager will certainly scold me for this. But it's not like I don't listen to it all the time anyways." Andrew raised his hand towards his nose, lightly touching the side and wincing again. "Wait- Perfect face? You.. think I have a perfect face?" It was a bit strange to hear it. Was that what you'd considered a back-handed compliment? "The male grew quiet, not sure what exactly to say in response to it. He's just trying to get under my skin. Let it go The feeling of the alcohol wipe on his nose caused him to wince, feeling the acidic anti-bacterial do it's job. Soon after, a bandage on the nose bridge. Looking at his face in the reflection of his phone, he now looked like a guy who could pass off as some pretty punk. @Angel

“Don’t touch it. Even if it’s small it could get infected.” Lukas said, sitting back down on the bed next to Andrew. He picked up his phone to check the time. It was already almost evening. With a soft sigh he flopped back onto the bed and glanced at the boy next to him. “I do. But not.. in a weird way.. I wasn’t trying to mock you or anything.” He smiled a little and looked at the ceiling. “But that bandage does kind of ruin your perfect persona you have. Kinda shows you’re also human, despite how others treat you. I like to think of you that way.” He wasn’t sure why, but Lukas had felt like he could already sort of be trusting with this guy - be closer than just strangers. He wouldn’t call it friendship just yet. More like.. acquaintances. He sat up once more and looked at Andrew. “How long are you planning on hiding out here for? Do you need me to walk you back to the cafe? If it’s open I could grab a bite to eat..” It had dawned on him that he hadn’t really eaten all day, and something for dinner sounded nice. Something small that he could afford… He didn’t necessarily feel like cooking. @Sunfauna

Andrew frowned a bit at being told what to do, but he complied. "Fine" he said, getting up off the floor and sitting next to Lukas once more on the bed. It felt weird, getting hurt like this. It was rare for it to happen since he had to be careful about things. There were a few instances where he did hurt himself and got scolded for it. This time? It felt different. He wasn't exactly sure what changed and what that feeling could be. "Not trying to mock me, eh? Then what is it?" Hearing Lukas explain how the bandage made him seem more human was a bit confusing at first, but he understood after a bit of time. "People like to think that those who are famous.. are perfect. But we're far from it.." The blonde stared at his hand, closing it into a fist and opening it again. "I know I'm not perfect. I don't try to be either. To be fair, I never even started.." The reminder about food really set in for Andrew. "I.. haven't eaten anything at all today" he admits. "I was so focused on the shoot, and then that fan.. I forgot to eat" The idea of getting something to eat sounded good, but going out to eat was a bit much for him. "I don't know if you wanna eat there. I saw the prices on their menus.. It's expensive.. At least to me, and I'm a cheapskate" he admits. "Besides, I've done enough running around today. I don't wanna be caught up in another situation with a fan again. Much less that same fan.." What should they do? Go out and risk getting caught again or stay in the apartment? Though, now that he thought about it, Lukas had helped him today. Should he pay back that kindness? Clearly it would be used on food given the situation. "Well, I owe you after today.. if you seriously wanna go out at get food, then I guess it's fine.." the blonde rubbed the back of his neck. "But I don't wanna get noticed. It's annoying.." @Angel

“I can tell.” He responded, looking at the blonde. His silver eyes were scanning him, watching him open and close his hands as he spoke. “You’re definitely not as perfect as your fans make you out to be. And, personally, I’m not someone who would think anyone is perfect anyways. ‘Cause they’re not.” He groaned quietly when Andrew mentioned the cafe being expensive. “Put an expensive cafe in a poor part of town, makes sense.” Sarcasm was basically dripping from his lips. He leaned back on his hands, looking up at the ceiling as he thought. Should they risk going out? Andrew seemed like he really didn’t want to. “No no, it’s okay. If you really want to stay in my crappy little apartment-“ he said with a joking tone, “I can try and cook for you. Probably won’t be 5-Star, but I like to think I can cook.” He sat up again, climbing off the bed and making his way to his little kitchen and opening the fridge to examine what he had. “Hmm.. Yknow? I could make something simple - like steak tips with potatoes and green beans?” He asked, peeking his head above the fridge door and smiling. “Or do you have a request?” @Sunfauna

Andrew Bishop BOT 03/09/2024 20:47
Hearing those words coming from Lukas felt rather refreshing. Him knowing that Andrew was anything but perfect was all he needed to hear. It wasn't often that he was told that, but the way his Manager had been with making sure that he didn't tarnish his image and didn't get hurt to ruin shoots, it felt like they were trying to make him perfect. He knew they didn't see him that way, just wanted the shoots to go smoothly. Can't exactly do that with a banged up face now, could he? The sound of Lukas groaning after the mention of the cafe being expensive almost amused him. "It's not that expensive. I just don't wanna spend too much.." Andrew had a sweet tooth when it came to confections. Obviously if he were to eat too many then his figure would surely change. That's one thing he didn't need to have happen. His metabolism was fairly good, but obviously not the best if his sweet tooth took over. Andrew lifted his head after looking at his hand to see Lukas getting up and going to the kitchen. Was he planning on cooking something? He didn't look like he wanted to though. But to be fair, Andrew didn't want to leave either. The choices in his head swirled about while trying to figure out what would be the best one. "You cooking?" Andrew smirked, rising off the bed and walking towards the kitchen. "As long as you aren't going to secretly poison me, sure.." He leaned on one of the counters. "Been a while since someone's cooked for me. Which means I'm gonna owe you, at least twice now" he sighs. This was certainly going to pile up. Which means he would need to think of what he could do to pay him back. Money wasn't a problem, but he'd like to avoid spending too much if the frugal man could help it. "Is there anything you want in return?" he asked, letting his hazel eyes lay on Lukas as he worked. @Angel

“Poison you? No way.” He laughed softly as he started to pull out the stuff he would need. It was a good thing he’d gone to the market this past payday. First, he grabbed his cutting board and laid out 2 sirloin steaks on it. Then, using a rather large knife he began to cut it into little cubes. “You don’t have to owe me.” He insisted. “How do you like your steaks cooked?” He continued to dice them until they were all cut up then put some oil in his pan and set it on the stove to heat up. Then he grabbed green onions and garlic and began to mince them on a seperate cutting board. Lukas was used to do doing things without anything in return. However, he thought to himself as he was moving along in the kitchen, putting the steak in the pan and beginning to cook them while peeling and cutting up potatoes. Silver eyes moved up to lock with the hazel ones in front of him, and without really thinking about it, he said. “Pretend to be my boyfriend.” The words had come out so quickly he hadn’t even really processed them fully himself. What? What did I just ask-? He questioned himself internally, but he didn’t let it show that he was doubting what he’d said externally. It was embarrassing, but since he’d said it he had to go through with it. He had frozen almost completely, holding the peeler in one hand and a half peeled potato in the other, looking at Andrew for an answer.

Things seemed to be going well between the two. All the while Andrew was waiting on a response for Lukas, he proceeded to flip through his phone, responding to text messages. "My steak? Hm.. I like it Medium-Well" he responded, looking at a text message from a friend of his and their partner. Apparently they had taken a trip to Japan. The photos looked really nice too. "Pretend to be my boyfriend" That response caught Andrew off guard, causing the male to almost loose the grip on his phone. "What?" he asked, flabbergasted. "You know how I felt about you lying about all this? Why drag me into it?" he glared at the brunette. "If you need someone to pretend for you, why not get a friend or something? I'm hardly the best choice for that anyway" Now this just annoyed the blonde. Why would Lukas outright ask that? He knew how Andrew felt about the lying situation. Roping him into it would just add to the snowball. I haven't dated in 9 years.. Sure, I might miss being in a relationship a little bit, but this is not the way to do it. It is also just a fake one, but I hate lying. Dragging me into this will only make things worse too. The blonde stood there in silence, looking away from the brunette, gripping his phone a bit tighter. "You have to tell them straight, Lukas. If you are comfortable with being alone, tell them. Otherwise they'll keep pestering you.." Just do it. Even if the relationship is fake, at least it will feel a little bit real. That's what you want, right? No, I chose to obstinate from relationships for now. He can't convince me otherwise @Angel

Lukas could feel his whole body tense up as he realized Andrew was definitely not on board with this. Why did you ask that? You just met the dude yesterday. He scolded himself as he shook his head. “I only have my best friend Taylor - and she’s in Japan right now studying abroad. And plus, it’d be weird if we randomly started dating considering my family’s known her since we were 5.” He said. He continued to peel the potato as Andrew spoke. Sure, he felt bad. But he had already asked. Maybe he could talk him into it. “Don’t think of it as lying.” Thinking of it that way made him feel guilty. “I can’t tell them straight. They’ll be upset. My little sister lily just told me on the phone that they just don’t want me to be alone. And I.. I don’t know. Maybe you’re right. Maybe I don’t wanna be alone. Maybe I care more than I thought I did.” He sighed, finishing the potatoes before shaking his head. “Just forget it. I’m sorry.” He put the potatoes on the stove before continuing working on the steak, making sure to cook half of it medium rare for himself, then set that aside on a plate, and then making Andrew’s medium well as he’d asked. @Sunfauna

He remained silent, mulling over the information given to him. He's got a childhood friend who's overseas right now, huh? Announcing that she's his partner would certainly stir up questions and garner skepticism from his family. This was quite the hole he'd dug for himself, Andrew would give him that. Still, lying to his family should not be the only option. But it seemed that Lukas knew the option was wrong. "All I think of when I hear this is lying, Lukas.." Hearing the brunette speak of how his family would be upset with hearing the news, Andrew couldn't help but shrug. "If they get upset, then that's that. They should know all about you by now anyway.." he started, pausing when he heard Lukas mention that there was a possibility that Andrew was right. That perhaps Lukas didn't want to be alone after all. "You don't know what a relationship with another person feels like, Lukas. You wouldn't know the first thing to fake.." the blonde sighs, putting his phone away into his pocket and pushing himself away from the counter. "Listen.." He walks over towards the brunette, resting a hand on his shoulder and turning him so he could face the blonde. His hazel eyes staring at the other's silver. It was hard to tell if he was still mad or just frustrated. "It's been a long time since I've been with someone. I don't want to say or do anything that's gonna make you uncomfortable. Especially since you've never been with someone else, right? If anything, it'll be a culture shock to you.." There was a pause, then Andrew spoke once more. "Do you think you can handle it? Cause there's more than just saying the relationship is fake. Sometimes you have to do things to make the fake seem real. It's a fine line. Crossing either side will give it away. Do you still want to test that?" The blonde's eyes narrowed a bit. "If I agree to this, it's only until.. what.. Thanksgiving? After that, it's over. Understand?" @Angel

“I get it, it’s fine. I said forget it.” Lukas mumbled. He had no real right to be upset. Andrew was the one rightfully upset. If anything, the brunette was just upset with himself. He’d dug this hole and he’d probably just have to tell them the truth. Besides, the other boy was right. He didn’t know the first thing when it came to relationships. “I suppose. You’d have to take the lead with that sort of thing. And me being awkward or not knowing what to do wouldn’t be that suspicious, since they know I haven’t been with anyone.” He shrugged and jumped a bit when Andrew was suddenly beside him. His eyes widened slightly. Despite feeling a sinking feeling in his chest - guilt? - he couldn’t look away. “I can handle it.” He said softly. “I know it’s not real, I can handle that. It’s not like I’m asking because I’m in love with you.” Even so, he was a little hesitant. His brain raced with possible scenarios that could happen that would make him uncomfortable or make him feel awkward… I mean, it’s not like we’ll have to kiss in front of anyone….. right? He shook his head. “It’s fine, it’ll be fine.” He had to turn to take Andrew’s steak off the stove, putting it on a seperate plate. After that, he put his hands up and faced the other boy. “After thanksgiving. Swear. Plus, it’s not like we have to act like we’re together when we’re alone.” Once the potatoes finished, he drained the water and started to mash them. A part of him still felt bad. He paused for a moment to look at the blonde again. “Are you sure? I don’t want you to.. be upset..” he said, referring to Andrew’s not being in a relationship for years situation. “I’m sorry that happened to you. Nobody deserves that. Especially after so much time..” he spoke as he continued to mash the potatoes. When they were finished, he put them on the plates and then held one up to Andrew. “Here.” He said with a soft smile. @Sunfauna

Seeing that slight fear in Lukas' eyes at Andrew being next to him was enough of a sign as any that he couldn't handle it. "You know, getting jumpy around your 'boyfriend' is going to make people question. You're not supposed to be afraid of the person you love, you know.." he smirks, pulling away from Lukas to let him cook. "As for me, of course I'm a little pissed off about the whole thing, but it doesn't seem like you have anything else to ask of me to pay you back. Plus, this is clearly stressing you out" Andrew points out as he moves to take his spot back near the counter he was at before. "I'll just consider it a debt I owe, nothing more" At the sound of Lukas giving what sounded like sympathy to Andrew, he only shook his head. "I chose not to date after that. It's a hassle anyway. Trying to find someone is a waste of time. I only did it back then cause it was high school and everyone was doing it. Though I guess I could have used better judgement on my end.." There was a bit of silence from the blonde before looking to see Lukas handing him his plate of food. It looked good, and his face did soften a bit at the gesture. "Thanks. I would have cooked for us, but I am absolutely not allowed near a stove" he smirks. @Angel

“I only jumped because I didn’t expect you to be there..” He responded. Was he scared? He didn’t think so.. He sighed again. “Right. Just a debt you owe. I really appreciate it.. I promise, just until after Thanksgiving.” He moved to sit beside Andrew at the counter with his own plate before starting to eat. While he did, he listened to Andrew. “I get that.. That’s also part of the reason why I’m not too big on it either. I just.. don’t see the point.” He shrugged. “But still, you didn’t deserve that.” Lukas was sort of glad he cooked. He felt as though he were a fairly good cook and he kind of wanted to hear the blonde’s opinion. “I’ll keep that in mind for next time.” He laughed at his comment about not being able to cook. “That’s okay, I’ll take care of both of us.” His tone was obvious he was joking. When they’d finished eating, it had gotten rather late. Lukas glanced out his window before stretching and taking his plate to the sink. “So, do you need me to help you find your way back? Or is someone coming for you?” He tilted his head as he leaned against his counter, keeping his eyes on the blonde. @Sunfauna

Didn't expect him to be there? So he wasn't spatially aware of others. Noted. "Well, hopefully you understand the situation your in. Especially with choosing me as your fake partner. Cause I don't half ass things. Just so you know" he comments, taking a bite of his food. It was actually pretty good, but he wasn't going to mention it. "Well, there is a point in dating, it's to find someone you share a connection with. You can't get that upon meeting someone for the first time. Figuring out if you like someone takes time and patience. Lots of trial and error. I just didn't want to have to go through all that effort only to be abandoned again" Another bite of food. "That's why I said I had a poor taste in judgement at the time. I didn't think." Upon finishing their food, Andrew went to join Lukas by the sink to wash the dishes. "I guess it has gotten late.. I suppose I should head back then. Not sure if my Manager is awake right now though to give me a ride back.." he sighs. "She was pretty mad about me ditching the shoot. But, oh well. Karma is just playing the cards that were dealt.." Andrew reached into his pocket for his phone, swiping across the screen until he got to his contacts and held it out to Lukas. "Put your number in so we can keep in touch.. Maybe show me some of the photos you take, yeah?" Once Lukas had done so, the blonde saved the info and put his phone away, giving a faint wave to Lukas before heading out for the night, leaving the brunette alone once again. @Angel

Lukas smiled as Andrew helped do the dishes. He dried them and put them away since he’d washed them. As Andrew spoke about connections, Lukas didn’t know how to respond. He’d never experienced it obviously, so it was.. something to think about. “Oh yeah, that makes sense.” He said when Andrew handed him the phone. He hadn’t even thought about giving him his number. He punched it in and smiled when he handed it back. “You bet.” He gave a faint wave back. Once the door was shut, he made his way and flopped into the bed, sighing. He was relieved, but nervous for the weeks to come. And boy, did those weeks fly. He and Andrew had met up a couple times after that. Just hanging out or talking about plans for Thanksgiving. He had shown Lily his “boyfriend” Andrew - and she recognized him from the magazines she read. She had told him she couldn’t believe he landed a model, and was skeptical at first and thought he was lying. How ironic. Lukas’ parents had bought him and Andrew plane tickets for Thanksgiving, and today was the day they were set to take off. It had apparently taken a lot of strings for Andrew’s manager to pull to get him the time off - and Lukas was grateful. He was waiting at the gate for Andrew to arrive. He was busy texting on his phone and thinking about the past few weeks and the week to come. He and Andrew had already spent quite a bit of time together - the brunette even considered them friends at this point. Of course, they hadn’t done anything “boyfriend-y” yet. There was no reason to. Yet, Lukas found himself thinking of what Andrew had planned. Since he himself didn’t know what it was like to be affectionate with someone in that way, Andrew had to be the one to take the lead. @Sunfauna

The weeks certainly had flown by after that night. To think that Andrew agreed to such a ruse was beyond even himself. He kept telling himself it was just to repay a debt he owed to Lukas. Speaking of, the two had talked a fair bit and hung out a few times since then. Would he consider them friends at this point? Maybe. Obviously there was a lot they didn't know about each other, but that was fine. In terms of the whole relationship thing, they agreed to only start until after they landed. Right now, they were free to act as newly acquainted friends. Andrew was in the car with his Manager who was driving him to the airport. It took a lot of work for Andrew to get this time off. A lot of shoots planned ahead of time and so forth. Which was why him and Lukas only hung out a handful of times before. Once the car arrived at the airport and came to a stop, Andrew got out of the car. He went to the trunk to retrieve his rolling suitcase. "Be careful on this trip, Andrew. I mean it. Don't be causing any trouble while you're there" she scolds him. "I'll be fine, geez. You're not my mother. I'm leaving now.." he waves before walking off into the airport. Pulling his phone from his pocket, he begins texting Lukas back. It took a bit of time for the blonde to find exactly where Lukas was, but after he did, he made sure not to lose sight of him. "You are incredibly hard to find, you know that?" the blonde smirks. "So short.." The male rests a hand on Lukas' head in an attempt at teasing him. @Angel

Ding. A text from Andrew. He was finally here. They texted back and forth in order to find eachother, and once Lukas had seen him in the distance, he waved to get his attention. The first thing he said was a comment on his height. This prompted a roll of the eyes from Lukas. “I’m only a few inches shorter than you.” But, he still laughed. “Whatever.” Now Boarding Flight 327 The attendants voice came over the intercom. Lukas looked towards the gate and grabbed his suitcase, nodding Andrew to follow him before they boarded the plane. Their tickets were first class, but it wasn’t really like Lukas cared very much. The only thing he was worried about was Andrew’s impression. There was something he had avoided telling him. His parents were way better off than Lukas himself was, and that would be evident later. Throughout the flight, Lukas just slept on and off. He usually did this on any flight he was on really. When he was awake he would chat with Andrew about little things, show him pictures he’d taken recently, and so on and so forth. Finally, after about 4 hours, they landed. The plane took forever to deboard, as per usual with flights, and when they got to their exit gate, Lukas had to sit his luggage down and stretch. “Are you ready?” He looked up at the blonde. “I really am grateful you did this, Andrew.” @Sunfauna

"A few inches.. You're half a foot shorter.." Andrew comments. Despite the eye roll, clearly Lukas was slowly getting used to the blonde's teasing. Even so, Andrew followed Lukas as they headed towards their terminal to board the plane. Their seats were first class, which was something he had never been in. Andrew was always in Business Class whenever the crew took flights. Was Lukas' family loaded or something? Upon having a little cabin to themselves, it was nice. Of course, Andrew being the frugal guy that he was, spent his time either on his phone or also napping. It certainly was a lot better than other class seats. One he probably wouldn't experience again after Thanksgiving. Still, it was an experience he was glad to have. But at the same time, he was a bit nervous for when they were to land. The idea of meeting a partner's parents were always the most stressful times, at least to him it was. But this wasn't an actual relationship. This was fake. A debt he was repaying. So why did he feel so anxious? When the plan landed and the deboarding took place, it allowed the two males to talk for a bit. Eventually, the were free from the confines of the plane and now out of the terminal and into the rest of the airport. Lukas clearly looked drained just from exiting the plane. Is he also nervous? Andrew thought for a second. "I should be asking you that question. This is probably the craziest thing I've done, to be honest.. Well, besides kicking a drunk guy off the subway train.. That one might be a close second.." he sighed. "But I agreed to this, so I can't back out even if I wanted to.." Andrew's hazel eyes stared at Lukas' face for a second before taking a deep breath, exhaling slowly and holding out his hand to Lukas. "Let's go. Can't stay here forever" @Angel

Lukas had to admit, he was nervous. And he also still felt a tad guilty. Here Andrew was, saving his ass yet again. This was what.. the third time? Despite the older male thinking he was repaying a debt, Lukas still thought of it as him saving his ass. Just one week. They had to get through one week. “I’m good.” He insisted. “Plane rides are just tiring for me.” Silver eyes trailed to Andrew’s hand. There was a moment of hesitation. You can’t hesitate like that. He took the blonde’s hand. It was weird, holding hands with someone. He’d only ever held hands with Taylor, and there was no romantic feelings attached. That’s it, there’s no romantic feelings here either. Act like you do with Taylor. But that wouldn’t be enough, they’d have to step it up one level above that in front of his family. The pair made their way through the airport to the departure area, and across the security line waiting was his sister Lily, his mother Judith, and his father Harold. Upon seeing the boys, Lily’s eyes widened and her jaw dropped. Lukas assumed she’d thought he wouldn’t go through with bringing Andrew, but here they were. “Oh my! Isn’t he a stunning young fellow?” his mother clapped her hands together excitedly. “Hello sweetheart! I’m Judith, this is Harold, and this is Lily!” She introduced her family to Andrew. Harold stuck his hand out to shake his. “Nice to meet you, son.” He said with a smile. Lily still seemed awestruck for a moment, but she finally came to her senses. She looked at her brother and crossed her arms. “I still don’t believe it.” She stated. “This is a setup, right?” Lukas blinked a couple of times. Was it obvious? There was no way. She was just being a brat.. right? “Oh hunny, that’s so rude to say.” Their mother chimed in, but Lily was quick to respond. “I don’t know, something’s fishy.” She said, peeking up at Andrew. @Sunfauna

That hesitation that Lukas gave was a clear sign to Andrew that he was nervous. If he keeps this up, then this plan will falter before it even begins he thought to himself, wondering if he would have to take the lead entirely in this fake relationship. To be fair, he was the one with the most experience, so he had to take the lead by default. The two walked together, holding hands as they made their way out of the airport. It was a good way not to lose track of the other, and was a good starting point for Lukas. Leaving the airport, Andrew caught sight of Lukas' family. The woman whom turned out to be Lukas' mother introduced herself as Judith. Then there was the older man, Harold. Finally, the sister, Lily. He had heard about Lily before from Lukas. She was probably the one to give them the most trouble. A shared enemy. Andrew let go of Lukas' hand and held his out to accept the handshake from Harold. "Hello sir. It's nice to meet you as well. I'm very glad to be able to meet you all" he smiled. Though the comment that Lily had made was proving Andrew's thoughts to be true. She really was going to be the enemy. The one who would see through this little ruse. What better way to test that than with the sibling of a friend? "What makes you think this is a 'setup?' Hm?" he asked, looking down at Lily. His hazel eyes scanned her face, trying to get a read on what she was thinking. "I know it must be hard to believe that your brother finally got a partner, right? What do you think would prove to you that we are the real deal? Hm?" the blonde tilted his head, waiting for Lily to answer. Andrew wasn't afraid to make things look realistic. Like he had told Lukas in the past, he never did anything half-assed. @Angel

“He’s so polite~” His mother whispered to his father not-so-secretively, followed by a giggle. Lily stared up at Andrew and tilted her head and shrugged her shoulders. “How come, after all this time, with Lukas never having someone, suddenly he lands this super-duper-hot-model-guy? That just seems too.. convenient.” She narrowed her eyes just a bit, her suspicion showing through. “I don’t know how he would’ve done that unless he paid you, and we all know he doesn’t have money.” “Lily-“ Lukas went to scold her, but his mother cut him off. “Now now honey, she’s just messing around.” His mother waved her hand dismissively. Lukas sighed and ran his hand through the brown locks on his head. See, Lily may be younger than Lukas, at 18 years old, but she’s smarter than most her age, and she definitely thinks she’s smarter than he is. She’s very intuitive and intelligent. Her scores in school are much higher than average, and she’s very smart socially. She could see things that may fly under the radar for others. @Sunfauna (edited)

Polite.. Well, I'm only being polite to them because they are older than me.. Wait, scratch that.. I'm being polite because I'm just trying to play the role of boyfriend.. he thought to himself. "You've got quite the assumptions about me, don't you?" Andrew starts, staring back at Lily with this look in his eyes. "I appreciate that you think I'm good looking, but understand that I only date guys. Besides, you don't even know anything about me aside from my job.." Hearing Judith trying to make Lily back off was almost amusing to him. There's no way they could tame this beast.. "It's fine, honestly. I understand she'd be skeptical. Honestly, with my line of work, I don't really date. I'm so focused on work that there is hardly time for it. But, after meeting Lukas here, well, he's changed me a bit.." The blonde looked at the brunette for a moment. "Why don't you tell them about how we met?" Andrew looked at Judith, Harold and Lily for a second and grinned, "It sure was something!" @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/10/2024 15:00
Lily’s face flushed as Andrew told her he only dated guys. She shook her head. “I wasn’t trying to say you should date me instead. Just that it’s fishy that Lukas landed you of all people. How the heck did that happen?” She shifted her weight to one leg, so her pose was a more sassy hip-out sort of thing. Lukas had just been listening for the most part, and without putting much thought to it, he squeezed Andrew’s hand. It was clear he was nervous that Lily would foil this whole thing, all because Andrew was doing all the talking That was, until Andrew opened a door for him. His eyes widened for a moment before he smiled. He could be honest about this! “To put it short, he saved my life! There was this guy on the subway, he was so drunk the dude couldn’t even stand.” Harold and Judith nodded as they paid attention. Lily’s head tilted curiously. “He started to get real handsy with me and wouldn’t leave me alone. Nobody on the train seemed to care. That was… Until Andrew put a stop to him. He warned the guy, but he kept pushing, so Andrew literally kicked him off the train while hanging from the handle bars!” Judith gasped. “How heroic! That’s so sweet oh my goodness!” Lukas’ smile stayed. He was genuinely grateful for that day, and he didn’t mind sharing that full heartedly. Lily huffed and shrugged her shoulders. “So it was like a save the Prince kind of deal. Makes sense.” And she seemed to drop the whole this-is-fishy act. Harold smiled and started to walk. “Let’s get going then! We have a lots for Andrew to see!” Lukas’ smile faded as the family all turned their backs, and he glanced up at the blonde for just a moment before looking forward again while they walked. They all made their way to the car that was parked in the departure area. It was a new car - one Lukas hadn’t seen before. It was just an SUV so they could all fit. Lukas climbed into the very back row with Andrew, finally letting go of his hand to do so. Lily sat in the row in front of them, an

d his parents sat in the front obviously. The drive started, and Lily would turn around to peek at the two in the back. At that moment, Lukas was still tired from flight, and was too busy falling asleep to entertain her questions. “So, you saved him, and then you both kinda just… fell for eachother?” She was genuinely curious now, wanting to hear her brother’s love story. @Sunfauna

"A prince? I don't know about that. I don't think a prince pulls a muscle after saving someone" Andrew admits, rubbing the back of his neck. Though at least it seemed that Lily had backed off a bit. The story was true, and it seemed that Lukas was quite excited to have told the story to his parents. But, seeing how excited the brunette was did make him feel somewhat better. Hopefully things would be smooth sailing. Hearing Harold speak up about finally leaving, Andrew grabbed his rolling suitcase, still holding onto Lukas' hand with the other as they walked towards a SUV. He was wondering how they'd all fit into a car, glad that this one was of a good size. Especially for him. Andrew took this time to put both his and Lukas' bags into the trunk of the car before climbing in back to sit next to Lukas. Once the drive started, it seemed that Lily still had questions. Though, since Lukas appeared to still be jetlagged, Andrew would have to answer them. He let the brunette use his shoulder to rest on. "Not exactly" the blonde responded, "It wasn't a love-at-first-sight kind of deal.." The male was silent, glancing at Lukas for a few seconds, his hazel eyes tracing Lukas's features before looking back at Lily. "We met again. When I was working on a shoot for Tea Time. It's this new cafe that opened up near Lukas' place. Turns out our security wasn't the best and he snuck in around the back. Curious cat" he grinned. "I ended up saving him again, and I decided to take a break from the shoot.." Silence again. "We went to this park that was nearby, and he showed me this neat little walking trail. The punk took photos, but.. I couldn't be mad at him.. Here, let me show you one.." Andrew reached into his pocket, fishing for his phone while trying not to wake up Lukas. He flipped through it and pulled up the photo that Lukas had snapped of him, the backshot among the Fall leaves and trees. "Here.. At the time I was unaware. Since my Manager before we left the shoot warned
19:57
him 'No Photos' " He took the phone back and slid it into his front pocket. "It would have been a peaceful walk, but one of the fans from the shoot had followed us. Lukas.. stood up for me. Well, he tried to. I ended up doing something that my manager would certainly yell at me about.. but the reason was justified.." Why am I admitting this? Is it to make this relationship believable? To make Lily back off? I don't know.. "She was one of those obsessive fans, one who was threatening us. It pissed me off, so I threw her phone into the pond. I thought I was the one saving us but it turned out Lukas saved me instead. He hid me away from it all. That's when I knew that I was falling for him.." Lies.. What I'm saying about falling for him is all a lie.. All for this damn debt. It's like acid is being being poured into my heart. It hurts. Why does it hurt? Because of the lies, obviously.. "Since then, we've hung out quite a few times, and eventually.. I confessed to him. We haven't been dating for too long though, so I hope that's okay for me to be here" @Angel

Lily gave Andrew her full attention while he told their story. Her eyes were big and sparkling. “You guys kept running into eachother! It was meant to be!” She said happily. She seemed to have finally accepted that they were together - and was no longer suspicious of that. When Andrew showed her the picture she giggled. “That’s Lukas for you. He never listens to what he’s told.. and he’s always been such a natural at photography..” It was clear that Lily and Lukas had a decent sibling relationship, despite their little bickering moments. And she loved to tease. “Well, I’m not sure how Lukas managed to pull that one off, but I’m happy for him.” After the car had been driving for quite a while, they eventually made their way towards a gate that had a long driveway continuing past it. By this point, Lukas had shifted and woke up slowly. When he realized he was laying on Andrew’s shoulder, he sat up and looked around. Oh, we’re already here. The road had led them through a densely wooded area, and at the gate his father rolled the window down and buzzed the button at the gate. It took a couple seconds but it slowly swung open, and then they continued through. They carried on up the winding driveway up the hill to.. a mansion. Sitting right on top. It was extravagant, white, and surrounded by little gardens and a pond. While Lukas seemed to be struggling for money on his own, his family certainly wasn’t. His mother and father of course had offered to help, but Lukas refused. Growing up in this lifestyle… he just wanted to get out on his own. Support himself instead of leaning on them. So any advances they offered were swiftly declined. “Welcome home!” His mother cheerfully said as they parked. When they climbed out, a butler was already retrieving Andrew’s and Lukas’ bags from the trunk, carrying them to his bedroom for them. “Welcome home.” Lukas mumbled in a sort of melancholic way. @Sunfauna

She bought it. Great. Now I just have to survive a week. Shouldn't be too difficult to do now. Just go to their little home, hang out, pretend to be lovers and then go home. Simple plan Or so he thought. The moment the car pulled up to a gate, something felt off for him. Why were they buzzing into a gated home? Why did the road continue? Why was it that he was now seeing in view.. a white mansion?! This fucker is loaded?! Well, no, not him.. His parents certainly. This is not what I signed up for. I thought this would be a small home, but this is like.. way too much! Oh God, the acid feeling in my heart is back.. The sight of seeing such an extravagant home was enough to make even Andrew sweat bullets. They have enough money to end my career, no.. hire a hitman to take me out if I break their poor son's heart! To go from living so minimalistic to a jump, no, a leap to a mansion for a week would certainly kill him if not for his strong determination to see out this debt. Okay. Just, keep calm and things will be okay.. the blonde thought to himself as he exited the car with everyone else. The sight of a butler coming out and taking the bags made his eye twitch slightly. Hired staff, great. Makes sense.. Big property has to be maintained.. Once Lukas stepped out, Andrew immediately grabbed his hand, squeezing it. If it wasn't obvious enough on his face, he was certainly taken by surprise. @Angel

Lukas was a bit surprised as Andrew took his hand almost immediately. Does being in a relationship mean holding hands all the time? He looked up to Andrew and tilted his head. “Are you okay?” He said softly. The rest of the family had made their way inside already, so they were safe to talk here. “I know, it’s not.. ideal.. And it’s a lot.” He squeezed Andrew’s hand reassuringly. Lily poked her head out the door. “Hey slowpokes! What’s takin you so long?!” Lukas turned his head and waved his hand. “We’ll be in in a moment!” She rolled her eyes before disappearing again. “Here.” He said, pulling Andrew’s hand gently to lead him off. He led the taller boy around to the side of the house. There was a small garden here, but was surrounded by small trees and shrubs - perfect for them to sit in and be hidden for a moment. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you, I just..” he sighed, walking into the small garden. There was a path that led into it and in the middle the path created a circle around a grass patch. It was this grass patch that Lukas sat in. “Like you, I’m not a huge fan of flaunting money.. So I just don’t accept any from my family. And I honestly didn’t think about it until we were landed.” He said, hoping Andrew would understand. He plucked a flower and twirled it between his fingers. @Sunfauna

Andrew didn't respond when he was asked if he was okay. He knew he wasn't. It was a huge leap from where he had been living. His lifestyle was miniscule compared to this. Hell, his heart was beating so fast he thought it would burst. He could hear Lily, hear Lukas, but it's like the words didn't make sense to him. His eyes were just staring at the mansion in front of him. Was he in shock? Suddenly, he felt his hand being pulled, and saw that Lukas was leading him around the side of the home. His comprehension was slowly coming back and he was now able to understand the words being said to him once again. Lukas was apologizing, saying how he didn't like flaunting money similar to Andrew. That he wanted to be independent. But to be fair, Andrew was always independent. His personality was that of a stubborn ox. He did what he wanted without caring what others thought. Ever since he was a kid, he did things his own way. Regardless of what people told him. He had a set of ideals and he lived by them without question. "It's.. It's fine. I was just surprised, honestly. But, I understand what you mean. Accepting money from your family, it feels like your cheating in a videogame with an unlimited money cheat." A pause, the blonde thinking for a minute. "If anything, for me its the other way around. I'm helping my family. But it's whatever, right? I'm over it." The male stood from where they sat and brushed off his pants. "Let's get back before they come looking." Andrew hardly ever spoke about his family. About where he came from or how he grew up. It was like he didn't want anyone to know. Almost like he was hiding something. At least we get separate rooms, right? This place is massive.. @Angel

Lukas nodded. “Exactly.” He said. He looked over at the other, who seemed like he was in a hurry to get back inside. And here I thought he needed a break already. There was a weight of guilt on Lukas’ chest. He still felt bad that he had dragged Andrew into this. But it was way too late for that now. “Right.” He responded before falling silent, dropping the flower and standing up to join the other. They made their way back to the front of the house and inside. The inside was just as grand as the outside with the first room being the foyer. Double curved staircases went up on either side to the second floor, and a large chandelier in the middle of the room lit it up in a soft yellow glow. Lukas regrabbed Andrew’s hand. “It’s close to time for dinner, but we can go to my room for a minute if you want.” Maybe we need a moment to figure out what we should plan for. “Lukasss!” Too late. Lily came down the stairs, now in comfier clothes. “Dontcha think we should give him a tour?” Lukas looked at Andrew then back to his sister. “I don’t know, sis, maybe we should just take a second-“ Too late again. Despite Lukas’ grip on Andrew’s hand, Lily took it upon herself to grab his other hand and lead him forward. “Nonsense! I’m sure he’ll love it!” She led him first to the family room. It had a large u-shape couch, a fireplace with a giant flatscreen mounted to the mantel, and large floor-to-ceiling windows that showed the scenery outside as well as the fairly large pool they had. Completed with a water slide. Lukas sort of followed behind a bit, just looking at Andrew. Why am I so worried about his well being-? He had this feeling in his chest, and he wasn’t sure how to pinpoint what it was. @Sunfauna

Entering into the mansion, Andrew could see how extravagant it was inside. The curved staircases that led up to the second floor, the chandelier hanging above their heads illuminating the entire foyer. It was like something out of a film. While it was overwhelming for him, he had to try to stay calm. He couldn't just stand there like a deer in the headlights the entire trip. I have to get it together. I'm only seeing them for a week and then never again. It's fine The sound of Lily's voice broke him from his thoughts as he looked up to see the female coming down the stairs. She offered a tour and it seemed that Lukas wasn't very adamant about it. But it didn't seem like what he said would get through to his sister. The female took his hand and led him around part of the home. One such place happened to be the family room. It was quite a sight, that was for sure. Very fancy, especially the view outside that showcased the pool with a fuckin water slide. Now that's just showing off.. "Lily.. I appreciate what you're trying to do, really. But, I'm not used to this kind of thing" he admits. "I'd like to take my time, if that's alright with you" The male turned his head to glare at Lukas, as if telling him 'Hey, what's the big idea here? She's rubbing all this money shit in my face' type of thing. @Angel

Lily’s face seemed to drop a bit. She was confused - Not used to this kind of thing? “But like.. don’t you also live somewhere nice?” She asked with a tilt of her head. “No, he doesn’t.” Lukas responded before Andrew could. “He’s humble about his lifestyle. He doesn’t need all of this. Just like we don’t.” She crossed her arms and huffed. “But it’s nice to have.” Lukas sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. She usually wasn’t this annoying. He had looked up again, only to see Andrew glare at him. Lukas had widened his eyes and tensed a bit as Andrew glared at him. What did I do? He wondered. Thankfully, Lily hadn’t seen the exchange, as she had moved to the couch to pout about her little tour going awry. Lukas didn’t know what else to do other than mouth the word “Sorry” as he leaned against the doorframe he was standing in. All I want to do is get him somewhere more comfortable, less overwhelming. Of course, once again, his plans were foiled as his mother came in from the other side of the room. “Ah! Hello boys! I was just coming to find you to ask what you’d like for dinner? The chefs will be working on it soon!” Lukas looked from his mom to Andrew then back to her. “I’m sure whatever will be fine, mom.” He responded. He gave another uneasy look towards Andrew. The longer this went on, the more he regretted dragging him into this. I should’ve just told them the truth. @Sunfauna

Well, Lily certainly looked and felt like she was giving off spoiled child energy. "Lukas is right, Lily. Just because I make good money, doesn't mean I have to live extravagant. I like living simple." He leaned over the couch, staring down at Lily. "If you must know, I'm actually quite frugal with my money. I hate spending it. Only when there is an emergency do I use it" he admits to the female. One could probably compare Andrew to a dragon that protects its horde. Which would be a funny image, truthfully. "I'm just not used to all of this. It's overwhelming for sure, but I'm not mad or anything. I know you guys mean well. Honest." The male pulled away from the couch slightly when he heard Judith behind them. "I'm not a big eater, so whatever you have made will be just fine" he tells the woman. It was evident that Andrew didn't eat too much to begin with. Probably his body getting used to eating so little and off of food from the convenience store no doubt. His attention was now on Lukas, that glare of his gone and now replaced with a tired look. "Would it be possible for me to lie down for a bit before dinner? I think the plane ride over here is finally catching up to me" Obviously it wasn't the plane ride that had made him tired. But he needed some form of excuse to lie down for a bit and get his bearings. @Angel

Lily looked up at Andrew as he spoke to her. Slowly.. her pout went away. “I guess that makes sense.” She said, shrugging her shoulders. She had never really thought of money as something to only use when needed. Her whole life had been a “if I want it I get it” sort of thing. “Sorry, I wasn’t trying to overwhelm you.” She said. Once Andrew had left the couch, she turned the tv on and started to flip through channels. Judith nodded. “Alright! We’ll do something simple. Spaghetti and garlic bread! And some tiramisu for dessert!” And with that, she left the room again. Lukas still had a concerned look on his face, and he quickly nodded. “Is my room okay?” He asked softly, reaching out and grabbing Andrew’s hand to lead him to his bedroom. @Sunfauna

It seemed like Lily understood what Andrew had told her, which was good. She'd back off. As for the mother, it looked like something simple would be made for tonight. Spaghetti with garlic bread. That was actually something from his childhood he hadn't had for so long. The idea of it actually made him feel a bit better. The sound of Lukas' voice made the male turn his head, looking down to see that the brunette had taken his hand. Seems he's okay with handholding.. the male thought to himself. Lukas asked if his room would be alright to rest in and Andrew gave a soft nod before being led towards it. Jetlag is no joke. I should have slept like Lukas did earlier. Maybe I wouldn't be feeling this way. Or maybe I'm still overwhelmed by everything? Hard to think like this. I should sleep. @Angel

Lukas led him up one of the staircases and down a decently long hallway. “I’m sorry.” He apologized, although he wasn’t sure what he was apologizing for. That feeling in his chest was still there, and he had this instinct to get Andrew away from everything as fast as possible. He kept a hold of his hand, even when no one else was around. Eventually, they came upon his room at the end of the hall, and he pushed open the door. His room wasn’t like the rest of the house. He didn’t have a lot of things. He had a desk with some stuff on it and a bookcase full of books. Little figurines and knickknacks strewn about. But other than that, it was just his bed. “Here.” He said, letting go of Andrew’s hand to move to the bed. It was neatly made since he’d been gone, but he started to pull out the tucked corners and even fluffed up a pillow for the blonde. “Here. And I’ll make sure no one disturbs you okay?” He turned to look at the other for just a moment until he’d climbed into the bed, which at that point Lukas stepped back. When Andrew had gotten comfy, he slipped out of the room and closed the door. From there, he sighed and ran his hands through the brown locks on his head before heading back down to the living room. He joined Lily on the couch for a bit, just watching the tv with her. At one moment, he glanced over to realize she’d had his camera. “Lily, how did you-?” He sat up and reached for it. “I’m just looking!” She insisted, but Lukas wasn’t that trusting. There were pictures on there that were personal, and the ones Andrew didn’t want shared. “Lily, I’m serious, give it back.” As younger sisters do, she stuck her tongue out. “You’ll have to catch me for it!” She jumped up and took off. Lukas groaned and got up, giving chase. It was like when they were little and would chase eachother through the house. Lukas knew it like the back of his hand. There was nowhere she could go that he wouldn’t. However, this didn’t mean he couldn’t lose her. She was smaller a

nd much faster than him, so when she turned a corner and disappeared down the hallway that led towards his room, he had lost her for a moment. Once he turned the corner, he couldn’t see her. He slowed to a walk. The hallway was a dead end at his bedroom, there was nowhere she could really go. About halfway down, a door stood ajar. He was suspicious, and approached it slowly. He expected that maybe she hid in there and accidentally left the door open. So, he snuck up on it before flinging it open with a “Rah!” but.. nothing. It was just a little supply closet. Used by the maids. She wasn’t in there. However, his camera was. He looked around for a moment before making his way into the closet to pick up. Slam! The sound of the door slamming shut made him jump and his ears ring. Instantly, the closet got pitch black, and he could hear the sound of something being shoved under the doorknob. Lily of course, was just playing. She didn’t have any real ill intent. She had shoved a chair under the knob to keep it from being able to be opened before yelling through the door. “I think you need a time out, like the old days~” She joked, backing away from the closet and leaning against a windowsill across the hall. Lukas didn’t find the joke funny. She had been referencing when they were little, how one of their parents punishments was to put them in the closet for time out. They hadn’t had any ill intentions, just parents being parents for the first time, but because of it Lukas had a relatively deep fear of confined spaces - especially if he couldn’t get out. “Lily, cmon, let me out! It’s not fucking funny!” He yelled, hitting the closet door. When she didn’t answer, he continued to bang on it. He could already feel himself starting to panic. “Lily cmon I’m not playing anymore!”

Andrew had been led up to Lukas' room. Upon the door being opened, he expected it to be lavish like the rest of the house but instead, found it to be quite normal. It was certainly the odd one out but it relaxed him. Then again, his focus wasn't that great to begin with right now. It was getting hard to keep his eyes open at this point and he did stumble a couple times trying to get to the bed. Once he was under the covers, it was like a switch in his brain was flicked. The male was out like a light. My body feels heavy, and my mind feels like mush right now. Is this what it feels like to be overwhelmed? It's fine. I can rest. I won't be bothered by anything. I can sleep.. That's what he thought at least. He could hear the sounds of the siblings out in the hallway. However he was too fatigued right now to yell at them or to even get up. What was even going on out there? He heard noise but it just sounded muffled to him. Should he investigate? Could he even get up in this condition? No. It's not important. Sleep is important. He needed to rest. Andrew let sleep take over him once more. Laying on his side so he faced the door. That rest of his was a dreamless sleep. An exhausted body and mind that wanted nothing more than to be alone. @Angel

Lukas continued to bang on the closet door, practically begging his sister to let him out. But her response was just what his mother used to say - “You have to sit in there for how ever many years old you are!” - of course, she wasn’t really going to make him sit in there for 24 minutes, but Lukas didn’t care. He didn’t find the game funny anymore. He just wanted out. “I’m gonna kill you when I get out of here!” He started to ram into the door with his shoulder in attempts to knock it open, but it was useless. Lily groaned and got up, making her way to the door and removing the chair. “Finnnee.” She huffed. Right when Lukas was about to shoulder it again, she opened the door, sending him flying out and onto the floor. “Dammit, Lily-!” He yelled. He didn’t care who would hear him at this point. It finally felt like he could breathe again and that’s all that mattered to him. “You never know when to fucking quit! This is why I left home! Because you’re a stuck up mean little brat!” She stood, wide eyed and in shock for a moment. She truely had just been playing, but Lukas didn’t care. “If you’d listened to me just once, you’d know I didn’t find it fun anymore! You shouldn’t have taken my shit in the first place!” Without another word, she took off down the hallway. Was she.. about to cry? He scoffed and shook it off before standing up. She deserved it at that point. @Sunfauna

What could have been a peaceful nap was now becoming one that was mor irritating than anything. The shouting outside was still ongoing. This had to stop now, before he himself popped a blood vessel. Alright, whatever his going on out there is seriously pissing me off he thought. The blonde slowly peeled back the blankets, forcing himself to sit up after quite some effort. His head was hanging low, a feeling of being disoriented from the sudden awake he was forced into. One leg swung out from the confines of the blanket, then the other. He used one hand to reach and grip a nearby dresser or table that was by the bed and the other hand rested on the bed as he forced himself up. Andrew stumbled quite a bit upon standing up. Clearly his body wasn't as awake as his mind was, which was hardly awake to begin with. Getting the two to cooperate together was a challenge in and of itself. But he used things around the room to make his way over towards the door. Opening it he was greeted by bright lights, which caused his face to twist into what looked to be anger. Squinted eyes that were trying to hide from the light would appear like glaring. His stance like one who was seriously pissed off when in fact it was him trying to keep balance. "You got a lot of nerve waking me up.." he growled. "The fuck is all the racket?" Andrew was far from a morning person. He didn't like being awakened abruptly either. Especially with naps. @Angel

Lukas was about to follow Lily, but the sound of a door oppening caught his attention. He whipped around to see a groggy Andrew leaning in the frame of his doorway. And he looked pissed. Lukas basically froze in place. He’d never seen someone look so angry.. How was he supposed to react? Part of him wanted to snap back at him, while the other part wanted to apologize and explain. Instead, he stayed silent. He looked away and walked back into the closet that he’d been trapped in - the chair still laying in front of it - and retrieved his camera. He picked it up to check its condition before turning it on. Immediately upon waking up, the screen showed a message “Sent Success!” His eyebrows furrowed. What pictures did she send? And to who? Herself? He huffed and fell back, sitting down on the floor as he flipped through the images in an attempt to figure out which ones she sent. He could see the ones that had been sent, but not to who. After flipping through, he noticed she’d sent only the one of Andrew walking in the woods. “Fucking fantastic..” He sighed and left the closet again, looking back at Andrew who was still in the doorway. He made his way over and squeezed past him into his room to place the camera on the charger in there. @Sunfauna

Andrew stood there, well, more like leaned there, waiting for a response. But it seemed like Lukas didn't say anything. Was he ignoring him? Now this was sure to pop a blood vessel. The younger male squeezed by him into the room, and Andrew shut the door, leaning against the back of it. "Ignoring me now, eh? I'd beat the shit out of you if I could control my arms.." He went to take a step towards Lukas but then like that, his legs buckled under him. "Oh, there I go.." was all he said before ending up on the floor. His body relaxed finally as the blonde laid there on the floor. "Dumbass.." was all Andrew could say, trying to force himself onto his hands and knees and crawling back towards the bed. That angry look on his face was replaced with a very tired one after that door was closed and he wasn't looking at the lights anymore. The blonde sat up for a second afte reaching the bed and flopped onto it. Well, only his torso at least. The rest of him was still hanging off the bed. Clearly his mind wasn't all there right now given the fact he was shocked awake and that his jetlag was still prominent. But after a bit of time, he finally fell back asleep. Albeit halfway on the bed. @Angel

Lukas’ head whipped around as Andrew suddenly threatened him. “Dude, what the fuck-?” He took a step back as Andrew stepped towards him, but the blonde fell over. Is he.. that tired? Lukas couldn’t tell whether he should be concerned or annoyed. Andrew had never really spoken to him that way, so it threw him off quite a bit. “Don’t call me a dumbass..” he mumbled, crossing his arms as he watched the other crawl on the floor. It was a sad sight, really. Albeit, very entertaining. Lukas sighed as he accepted the fact that Andrew was in fact, not entirely here and just let his comments go. When he fell asleep halfway on the bed, he pinched the bridge of his nose. After taking a moment, he moved over and lifted the other half of his body into the bed, not bothering with the fact that he was laying in it wrong or that he wasn’t covered up. Instead, he moved to his closet and pulled out an extra pillow and blanket and tossed them on the floor. He made sure to lock the door before laying down on the floor and covering himself up. He wasn’t even really tired. Just frustrated. He didn’t wanna go back out and face Lily at the moment. So he layed, playing on his phone for a bit until he eventually did fall asleep with it in his hand. A couple of hours later, a maid was knocking at the door. @Sunfauna

A few hours had gone by with actual silence which let Andrew sleep peacefully and without anymore incidents. When he finally awoke, the male found he was facing the wrong way on the bed. "What the-" he was about to question until he realized where he was and remembered. Oh, right.. This must be Lukas' room The male sat up and was about to swing his legs over until he realized last second that Lukas was sleeping on the floor. Making sure not to step on him or wake him any, he stepped over him. Once on his feet, he took the time to look around his room, taking in the things he had and possibly liked. The figures for one thing caught his attention, along with the books tucked away on the shelves. Then his eyes landed on the camera, seeing it charging on its little dock. Now that Andrew could get a good look at the room, it was a cozy place for sure. The sound of knocking on the door caught the blonde's attention now as he walked towards it and turned the handle. It didn't move. Was it locked? Why was it locked? Wait, did he do something to me? the blonde thought to himself, checking all over for anything out of place, but stopped after finding nothing. No, he doesn't seem like the type to do that.. Besides, he's inexperienced.. A sigh escaped his mouth as he unlocked the door and opened it to be greeted by a maid. Right.. forgot about that.. "Yes?" Andrew asked, making sure the light from the hall didn't get into Lukas' face. @Angel

For someone who wasn’t tired, Lukas was snoring and deeply asleep on the floor. Even if it was uncomfortable. He didn’t even move when Andrew got up and moved about the room. The maid looked up, surprised since she’d expected Lukas to answer. “Oh hello!” She said in a cheerful tone. She was much shorter than Andrew, coming up to maybe 5’2”. Her voice was chipper and high pitched. She was actually one of Lukas’ favorite Maids, she had been around for much of his childhood. “I was just sending for you two. Dinner is ready. Feel free to join whenever.” She bowed her head slightly before taking her leave. On the floor, Lukas had finally shifted, rolling over to face the other way. The uncomfortable feeling was getting to him as he slowly started to wake up, but he kept his eyes closed and curled into the blanket more. @Sunfauna

Andrew Bishop BOT 03/11/2024 02:57
"Oh, thank you for letting me know. I'll get Lukas and we'll be down shortly" he told the maid with a faint smile before watching her leave. He closed the door and turned to look at Lukas who had turned the other way. For some reason, something seemed off with the brunette. Or maybe it was just him overthinking things. Like why was Lukas sleeping on the floor? They were supposed to be partners. But to be fair, Lukas was still new to dating, even if it was a fake one. Andrew walked over and stood over Lukas, staring at the boy for a few seoncds before kneeling down. The way Lukas looked when asleep was.. actually kind of adorable. He really looked to be trying to hide in the blanket. But he clearly wasn't awake yet. "Hey, wake up. It's time to go downstairs and eat.." he spoke to the brunette. Nothing. "Hey, do you hear me? I said let's go and eat.." Still nothing. Then a curious idea popped into his head. One that amused him and the potential reaction it would have on the other. Andrew rested a hand on the other side of Lukas, practically leaning over the male. He whispered into his ear, "If you don't wake up, I'll kiss you.." @Angel

Lukas’ sleep was dreamless. That was, until his subconscious mind could hear Andrew speaking to him. A dream started, where he saw Lukas in front of him. He had wrapped his arms around the brunette and held him close. But it felt like more than just a fake relationship. Lukas’ face reddened slightly in his sleep when dream Andrew said “If you don’t wake up, I’ll kiss you..” Still half asleep, Lukas rolled onto his back, now inches away facing Andrew’s face head on. “Don’t make empty promises.” He mumbled, half asleep before he stretched a bit, rubbed his eyes, then opened them. A small gasp left his mouth as he noticed the other boy above him. Their closeness made his face even redder. “What’re you doing-?” His hands instinctively went to Andrew’s chest, placing his palms there. When had he woken up? Lukas looked towards the door, seeing that it was unlocked. “Did someone come in? I had locked it just in case. I didn’t want someone questioning why we weren’t just sleeping in the same bed.” He was talking much faster than usual, caught off guard by everything and a little worried their facade was already going to be ruined. @Sunfauna

The thing that Lukas said in his sleep caught Andrew off guard for a second. Was he dreaming? What of? Even if he were to ask, there was no guarantee Lukas would tell him. Andrew, after seeing the reaction from Lukas however after awaking could not hold back his laughter. It was so amusing, everything he said and did was the perfect reaction he was going for. "Man, you're just a sweet baby boy, aren't you?" the blonde smirked, letting his laughter die down after a good minute or two. "I wasn't doing anything. I woke up a bit ago and heard a knock at the door. I opened it to find that a maid came to inform us that dinner was ready.." The blonde backed off from the brunette, getting up off the ground and fixing his clothes. Hearing the comment about how he was afraid someone would question why they weren't sleeping in the same bed made him snicker a bit. "Are you afraid to share a bed with me?" he raised an eyebrow, his hazel eyes staring into Lukas' silver. "Cause it sounded like you were wanting me to earlier" @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/11/2024 13:36
Lukas’ eyes widened as Andrew laughed. His face flushed again, I confused on what was so funny to him. “Oh.” He said to his explanation on the maid coming to say dinner was ready. Lukas sat up and stretched before standing and picking up the pillow and blanket and just tossed them on the bed for now. Jeez, he’s in a teasing mood- He thought as he turned to look at him. “Well, I’m not gonna just crawl into bed with someone who said they wanted to beat the shit out of me.” He couldn’t help but smile himself, remembering sleepy grumpy Andrew who couldn’t even walk across the room. He found himself staring back at the blonde, their eyes locked together. “What-?” His eyes widened at the claim before he shook his head. “What are you talking about?” he asked before he made his way to the door. He figured Andrew would elaborate on their way to dinner. But.. he had a sneaking suspicion that maybe Andrew somehow knew about that dream. He wasn’t sure how or why he’d know, but he had a feeling. Another problem he was tussling with internally was the fact that he didn’t hate the dream. In fact, it made those feelings he’d had earlier .. stronger? He didn’t know what was going on. But he wasn’t sure if he hated it or not. All he knew was he needed to get through this week. @Sunfauna

"Oh? Did I say that? Sorry~ I get a bit aggressive when I'm sleep deprived" he chuckled, standing up along with Lukas. "I'm not a morning person, nor do I like being woken up out of nowhere. Just flips a switch I guess. Bad enough I don't remember them" he sighed at that last bit, watching Lukas toss the pillow and blanket on the bed. At the mention of what Andrew was talking about earlier, he followed suit, keeping pace with the brunette easily. "I said, it sounded like you wanted me to kiss you. You said.. and I quote: "Don't make empty promises." But to be honest.. I don't. I keep my promises." the blonde shrugged as they walked down the hall. "Also.." he paused, reaching out a arm to stop the brunette for a second, leaning in to whisper something into his ear. "You locking the door.. that has a completely different meaning when we're alone in there. Just so you know.." he pulled away and made a gesture with his hands, one that symbolized boning. "So just keep that in mind. I don't bite, much" he smirked before walking off ahead of Lukas. Did he know where he was going? Not really. @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/11/2024 16:21
“Aggressive was one word for it.” He laughed a bit as they began walking. He realized he was quite hungry as they went, and was glad dinner was soon. When Andrew joined him, he looked up at him while they walked, absolutely surprised by what he was saying. Hes just teasing.. right?… Right?? “I keep my promises.” He said. So.. he would kiss him? But why would he say all of this in private? He was yanked from his thoughts as he was abruptly stopped. “Wh-“ he cut himself off as Andrew whispered in his ear. Butterflies swarmed from his stomach up to his chest and throat as he could physically feel his face heating up. What is going on-?! These feelings were strange and new, and he sortve hated how confusing they were. Of course he hadn’t meant to make it seem like they were fucking - it was all a misunderstanding. This fake relationship wouldn’t even go that far! He kind of just stood for a moment, watching Andrew walk away ahead of him. “Do you even know where you’re going?!” He yelled after a moment, running to catch up with him. He’d actually been heading in the right direction, but Lukas wasn’t going to let him know that. Before they were amongst other people, Lukas felt the need to take his chance. “You don’t have to act like that in private you know.” He was confused on whether or not Andrew actually knew that, or if he was confused. Before they reached the dining hall, Lukas reached for Andrew’s hand before walking in. His family was already sitting and waiting for their arrival. The dining table wasn’t huge, but it was big enough to sit 8 comfortably. Lukas made his way over and sat across from Lily and his mom, with their dad at the head of the table and a spot next to him for Andrew. Almost immediately after sitting, servants came out with the first course - a fresh garden salad. @Sunfauna

It was amusing to see Lukas' face earlier when he got so close, mentioning the locked door and what it symbolized. Of course they would never get that far in a relationship. Besides, this relationship was fake. Why would he waste his energy on that? "I keep my promises? I was just warning you that next time if you don't wake up when I tell you, then I will. Simple as that. Would you prefer if I yelled at you or beat the shit out of you? I think this one is the easiest. Plus.. it's just a kiss. It means nothing between us.." He continued down the hall. Andrew blinked a bit at hearing Lukas mention how he didn't have to act like it in private. He shrugged his shoulders, "Maybe, but like I said to you before. I don't do anything half-assed. If you hate it so much, tell the truth" "Wait, am I going the wrong way? I could have sworn this was the right way.." he grumbled before being led towards the dining area. It really was lavish. But he knew he had to pull himself together, taking a seat next to Lukas and Harold. I can manage this. It's just dinner. Nothing bad happens at dinner, right? @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/12/2024 01:04
The first course went rather quietly. Lukas sort of just picked at it. He ate a few bites but he was so busy lost in though that he didn’t really focus on eating. Lily still seemed upset about earlier, but she didn’t bring it up or anything. Judith and Harold made small talk, trying to keep dinner from being awkward. Why did I have that dream? Why did I react like that to his teasing? He kept replaying those moments in his head. The dreams, the teasing of the kiss, the teasing of what happens behind “locked doors.” It caused the same feeling to churn in his chest. He just.. didn’t know what it was. It was a little frustrating. “Lukas? Are you okay hun?” His mothers voice sounded far away for a moment. He snapped out of his thoughts. “Yeah, I’m okay.” He gave a reassuring smile. It was at that point that the main course was brought out, and Lukas remembered how hungry he was. As soon as the spaghetti and garlic bread was laid in front of him, he started to eat. He felt like he hadn’t eaten in forever, and he didn’t even bother talking. That was, until Lily talked to him. “You should show Andrew the hot springs.” She said, leaning on her hand as her elbow propped up on the table. “Maybe after thanksgiving?” She added. Lukas looked up at her then to Andrew. For a moment, he imagined him in a swimsuit, but very quickly pushed that thought away. What the hell? He yelled at himself before shaking his head. “I don’t know if that’s a thing he’d be into.” @Sunfauna

After Andrew had taken his seat and the first course was served, he spent his time just quietly eating. He wasn't the biggest fan of salad, as he considered it not filling at all. But he ate it out of respect to the family. It was quiet, which was fine enough for him. Once the first course was done and taken away, the main course came out, which was the spaghetti and garlic bread. If I hadn't said anything, would this have been more extravagant? he thought to himself, taking a sip of water. I feel like it would be.. Andrew began eating his spaghetti in silence, thinking that maybe this would be a quiet dinner. Except the moment he heard Judith speak to Lukas asking if he was alright, he shifted his eyes to the side to glance at him. Was he thinking about something? Was it what I said earlier? It's not like I was teasing him or anything.. he thought to himself. Then again, he's never dated, so I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't know.. Lily spoke up next, mentioning Hot Springs and Andrew lifted his head slightly. Hot Springs? Those sound nice, but they're expensive.. "I would, but I don't really have that kind of money" he tells Lily. "I appreciate the idea though" They don't know that I send half the money I make to my parents. I don't like spending money. Especially if its somewhere nice like a Hot Spring. That would just tank my wallet. God the thought of it is making my bank account cry.. @Angel

Lily’s head tilted. “Why would you think that you’d have to pay?” She asked. “Mom and dad can handle it.” Lukas sighed and put down his fork for a moment. “You can’t just assume-“ His mother cut him off. “Nonsense! I think it’s a great idea. It’ll have to be after Thanksgiving of course. There’s so much to do… But it could be a fun experience.” Lukas glanced over at Andrew then back to his mom and Lily. “Sure, why not.” He said before finishing his food and sitting back in his chair. It wasn’t long after that that the third course was brought out - tiramisu. It was perfectly fluffy and creamy at the same time. Lukas had never been a huge fan of this dessert, but he ate it anyways. He looked over at Andrew. “Have you ever had tiramisu before?” He asked, just trying to make small talk at this point. He was trying to distract himself from the events from earlier and the confusing feelings they caused. It was a little overwhelming, so he’d rather just try and focus on this little show that he and the blonde had to put on for his family. It felt like they hadn’t really been convincing.. @Sunfauna

Andrew blinked, a bit surprised at Judith's interjection to the conversation after Lily. Because I hate paying for expensive stuff.. that's why he thought to himself. Not like he wouldn't say it to Lily, but he felt it wouldn't be right to start a fight with her here at the dinner table. They are offering though. Plus it seems they make quite a lot of money as it is. Plus, I don't think I can decline this offer, it'd be rude to. Damn it. After finishing dinner, Andrew had expected it to be over. But once the dishes had been cleared and desert was brought out, he had to question whether he had the stomach for it. This is a bit more than I normally eat.. the blonde thought to himself for only a moment before Lukas' voice snapped him out of it. "Huh? Tiramisu?" Andrew looked at his plate to see the fluffy Italian dessert in front of him. "No, I haven't.." Shit, it's bad enough I have a sweet-tooth. After this, I'm sure to go into a food coma.. The blonde loved sweets, but he obviously had to watch what he ate at times too. Taking his fork, he took a small bit of the cocoa dessert and brought it to his lips, taking a bite. His eyes lit up, finding it incredibly delicious. "Whoa, this is really good" he grinned. It was rare for Andrew to show signs of enjoyment. To smile or laugh was quite a rare sight. The blonde was often quite serious, intimidating even in terms of his facial expressions. So to see him smiling at such a simple thing as dessert was a side Lukas hadn't seen much before. @Angel

Lukas smiled as Andrew said he’d never had the dessert before. “It’s good.” He said as a way of encouragement. But Lukas wasn’t ready for the blonde’s reaction to trying the fluffy dessert. Lukas’ own eyes widened as his cheeks turned pink. Andrew was so… cute. He could feel that feeling in his chest again, like a thousand butterflies swarming his chest. What was going on? No one had ever made him feel this way before. “Looks like Lukas just fell more in love with you.” Lily giggled across the table. Lukas’ blush grew darker as he glared at her for a moment before standing up. “Excuse me.” He said quietly before making his way out of the dining room and into a bathroom. His mother looked at Lily then shrugged her shoulders. “Wonder if he’s okay.” She said. In the bathroom, Lukas sighed, running his hands down his face in frustration. Then he splashed cold water on his face in hopes of snapping himself out of.. whatever this was. He couldn’t wait for this week to be over. @Sunfauna

Andrew only had a few seconds to glance at the brunette before seeing him take off from the table. Was he.. blushing? The blonde's eyes narrowed slightly, but he turned back to the family with a smile on his face. "You think so?" he asked as he continued to eat his dessert. Enjoying that sweetness from the cocoa and the bitterness of the coffee. It was still a delicious mix. "I don't smile too often, I guess it caught him by surprise" he admits. He ran away with that look on his face. Was he embarrassed? Should I check on him? No, that'd probably make it worse. I'm sure he'll be fine.. The blonde had finished his little dessert, but didn't hesitate to swipe Lukas' that was left there. Not gonna let the bastard waste this.. he began to munch on the 2nd piece of Tiramisu. @Angel

Lily tilted her head. “You don’t smile?” She asked, confused. That was.. interesting. Just as Lily finished eating, the doorbell rang. She gasped and jumped up. “They’re here!” She exclaimed before running to the door excitedly. She opened it to her friends Amy and Mariah, who had come over for a sleepover. The girls all ran to her room to get settled. Just as they did, Lukas was exiting the bathroom. He watched them run upstairs before making his way back into the dining room. “You alright, son?” Harold asked when he came in. “Yeah I’m fine, just needed a second.” He reassured. When he sat back down, he realized his dessert was missing. He looked over at Andrew, who now had two dessert plates. “Wonder where my tiramisu went.” He said. He wasn’t mad about it. If anything, he was pretty full so he was kind of glad Andrew took it. “You do have a sweet tooth don’t you?” Once Andrew finally finished, Lukas originally had plans to take him on a walk or something - since they’d both napped there was no way they’d be tired. However, Lily had other plans. When Lukas and Andrew had went into the foyer, she came down and grabbed both of their hands. “Cmon! You’re gonna play with us!” Lukas was confused, and almost tripped as she pulled them along up to her room. “Play what-?” “Truth or dare!” @Sunfauna

"Not really" he responds to Lily while munching on the Tiramisu. "I did it earlier at the airport as a formality. But in my day to day life, it gets tiring. I'm not exactly a 'bubbly' person" he admits. Andrew had always been one who was more serious and blunt whenever he spoke. Sometimes his words could be harsh. He didn't exactly care if it tarnished his image. Just how he was. Once Lukas had returned, the question of whether he was alright sparked. Lukas seemed to be okay for right now. Glad he sorted himself out Andrew thought to himself before glancing at Lukas who noticed his dessert was missing. "I thought you weren't coming back. Abandoning sweets is a crime" he points his fork at Lukas before using it to finish off his Tiramisu. It's a crime Once dinner was officially over and both plates of Tiramisu had been eaten, they were free to leave. The two were going to go for a walk to help digest the food they had eaten, but it seemed that Lukas' sibling had other plans. Earlier, her friends had come over. By the looks of it, for a potential sleepover. But what he wasn't prepared for was Lily dragging the two upstairs. She had mentioned the game Truth or Dare, which to him was just some silly kids game. "That's a children's game, Lily. Why are you-" Before he could finish his sentence, the trio found themselves in Lily's room where the two other girls were. I swear, if they start fangirling, I'm jumping out a goddamn window. I don't care if this is the second floor.. @Angel

Mariah and Amy were already sitting on the floor waiting for Lily to come back. “It’s not a child’s game! It’s fun! And it’s boring with just the 3 of us. Come on, sit.” Lukas groaned quietly as he sat down. Lily sat as well. Lukas glanced at Andrew, giving him a look that said Sorry, dude. Before the game officially started. Amy started, asking Lily “Truth or dare?” Lily thought for a moment before saying “Truth!” Now it was clear that this game wouldn’t just be any normal truth or dare game. Girls would be girls, and since they were comfortable with eachother, Amy’s truth was, “Did you or did you not sleep with Billy from science?” Lily laughed and shook her head. “Never would I ever!” Lukas sighed and leaned back on his hands. This was going to be such a boring night.. Having to entertain his little sister and her friends was not on the list. Now it was Lily’s turn. She pointed at Andrew. “Truth? Or dare?” She gave him a look with a little smirk. @Sunfauna

Andrew Bishop BOT 03/12/2024 23:21
If it's boring, why play it at all? Andrew thought to himself before taking a seat on the floor next to Lukas. He had this grumpy look on his face, as he sighed heavily. "Fine. I'll entertain you.." he said, waving his hand about nonchalantly. This really would be a long night depending on how this game would go. Normally in the game Truth or Dare, people often picked Truth to get out of doing a Dare. Dares ranged from a variety of things, many of them uncomfortable for the opposing party. Truths on the other hand were a way to get people to spit out dark secrets. It was a devil's game for sure. Considering that Andrew didn't know Lily that well, it was hard to tell what she was thinking. But, if today was any indication, it meant trouble. The game started off with one of the girls asking Lily, who responded with Truth. The question was about as basic as they came, at least from Andrew's point of view. Once Lily gave her answer, it fell onto her to ask Andrew. Truth or Dare.. The blonde glanced at Lukas for a moment, who looked bored already. I could go for a Dare to spice things up, but I have a feeling it would get me to do something to Lukas. I did tell him that I wouldn't do anything half-assed, so if I get asked.. I have to do it, right? Andrew had to think this one through. But if I go with Truth, I'd have to tell the truth. I can't very well lie.. This relationship next to me is a lie. Thinking about this is suffocating me! I'll just do a Dare. That's safer for me. Sorry Lukas "Dare. I'm not scared of what little kid ideas you have, Lily" he spoke, basically taunting the female. @Angel

Lily giggled and looked at her friends. “We still aren’t fully convinced that Lukas didn’t somehow trick you into being his “boyfriend.”” She did air quotes with her fingers. “So we wanna judge it off of one thing. Kiss him.” Lukas’ eyebrows furrowed. “What?” He said, sitting up again. Is my first kiss really about to be robbed by some dare? He shook his head. “This is dumb, he shouldn’t have to kiss me to prove we’re dating.” Do I want him to kiss me? He glanced over at Andrew then to the girls. “It’s not about the kiss.” Mariah spoke up. “It’s about how he kisses you. Anyone can kiss anyone.” She shrugged and leaned over, pecking Amy on the lips. “See? But it’s clear we don’t have any feelings for eachother. So the way you guys kiss will tell the truth.” What were they going on about?! Lukas could feel his cheeks heating up again and his heart beginning to race. He looked at Lily, who was very clearly serious about this dare. “I just want to be sure. If it’s proven that you two really are in love, I’ll leave you alone for the rest of the trip here.” She smirked. @Sunfauna

Andrew blinked, staring at Lily for a moment, then glancing at Lukas who looked like he was sweating bullets. His cheeks were clearly turning red from embarrassment while Andrew was about as cool as a cucumber. Unlike Lukas who never dated nor kissed anyone, the blonde had kissed plenty of times and more. However, knowing that Lukas just wanted it to look like they were dating wasn't going to be enough. Just saying that you were and holding hands would never cut it. Anyone could hold hands and admit to dating. But kissing? Kissing was the next step in dating. It was a way for two people to express themselves to one another. As far as Andrew knew, neither had feelings for the other. His first kiss getting stolen by the one he insisted play as his boyfriend. What a turn of events. I'm not concerned about it in the slightest but I feel he would feel otherwise the male thought to himself, tilting his head slightly to glance at Lukas. He has to be scared, I'm sure.. But there isn't any way out of this situation. Sorry, but I have to play my part, and so do you. "That's all? I thought it would be something more, but if that's all you want then I'll oblige" the blonde spoke, reaching out a arm to wrap around the brunette's side, pulling him closer. "Oi, let me see you're face.." he says to Lukas, using his other hand to gently tilt the other's chin. His hazel eyes staring into Lukas' silver. "You always get shy, you know.." he says softly. I can work with his flustering. If he isn't going to cooperate I'll have to make him. Sorry about this.. With a soft breath, Andrew leaned forward, pressing his lips against Lukas', continuing to crash them against the others' passionately. The kiss only lasted for about a minute before Andrew pulled away. @Angel

My first kiss is about to be robbed by a stupid dare. Lukas’ blush deepened as he was pulled closer. If he wanted Lily to leave them alone, he’d have to cooperate even a little bit. “I can’t help it..” he mumbled in response to Andrew saying he gets shy. Here we go. It’s happening. Holy shit- As soon as their lips met, it felt like something erupted inside of the brunette. He could feel the butterflies from earlier swarming his chest again and his face heated up against Andrew’s. He returned the kiss as though he’d had thousands before it, it was that effortless. When it ended, Lukas pulled away slightly, but didn’t move away from the blonde. He turned to look at the girls, who all had their mouths wide open. Lily laughed and put her hands up. “Okay okay, you two almost fucked right in front of us. I’ll take that as proof enough.” Lukas actually laughed - “That’s such an overreaction.” He said between laughs. Lily smiled and put her hands in her lap. “It’s your turn, Andrew.” As the rush of the kiss died down, Lukas began fiddling with the ends of his shirt sleeves as he started to lose himself in his own thoughts. Why did I.. like that? What’s wrong with me? If all of this is supposed to be fake.. then.. why does it feel so real..? @Sunfauna

Andrew Bishop BOT 03/13/2024 00:29
Seems he cooperated a little after all.. the male thought to himself, a small smirk on his lips. Hearing the comment from Lily made Andrew laugh a bit. "Come on, that'd just be a free show for you" he teased. "Besides, he's shy. I doubt he'd let me" This was meant as a joke to play along with their fake relationship. "I mean, he's afraid to share the bed with me. Probably thinks I'd jump him.." Andrew winked at Lukas, another play along. I'm sure he was uncomfortable from that. I'll have to apologize to him later when we're alone. But for now, he seems to be doing alright with playing the part. Using his inexperience as a facade for being shy is working out better than I thought. Which means Lily will leave us alone. No more suspicions.. After the laughter had died down, it was his turn to pick someone. So far it seemed like they were going in a circle, so it made sense to choose Lukas. Keep it rolling, as they say. "Lukas, Truth or Dare?" he asked, looking at the male with curious eyes. @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/13/2024 00:35
Lukas’ eyes widened as Andrew exposed the whole not sharing a bed thing. He still needed to play along though.. “I told you I just don’t wanna take up all the room..” It was the best lie he could think of. “Plus, we haven’t shared a bed yet..” Lily tilted her head and gasped before leaning over and whispering something in Amy’s ear, who whispered it in Mariah’s. Lukas could barely hear it, but it was something along the lines of ”They haven’t slept together yet!” He was just about to address it when Andrew turned to him. Lukas smiled and tapped his chin while he pretended to think. He could do truth.. but that’s not as fun.. plus everyone had done dare up until now so he would look like a wuss if he did truth… “Dare.” He finally settled after a moment. What could he dare me to do that’s worse than what we just did? @Sunfauna

"Take up all the room? You realize I'm the bigger one, right?" he frowned, staring at the male for a moment. Though his attention shifted to the girls who were whispering something. "Oi, what are you being all hush-hush for? Eh?" he glared at the three, wondering what kind of schemes they were cooking up. Or if it was just girls being girls and gossiping. Either way, it pissed him off. "I don't need you three to be getting crazy ideas about us, understand?" Was he coming off as more aggressive than usual? Probably. But in a way, it almost looked like he was being protective of Lukas. In a way, he kind of was. Though he wasn't exactly sure why; he just had this innate desire to protect him. Whatever the reason was, surely it wasn't anything super important. The blonde turned his gaze back to Lukas, those sharp eyes staring into the others' silver. "A dare, eh? Well.. let's see here. What could I make you do.." the blonde crossed his arms, tilting his head some as he thought about possible ideas for Lukas. I could have him kiss me this time.. But I feel he would just hate it. Bad enough I did it to him without warning. I could make him say something, but that sounds like it would be more of telling the Truth rather than a Dare. How should I go about this.. "I dare you.. to tell us what you like about me" That should be a simple one. Not like it's overly complicated or anything @Angel

Lily shook her head as Andrew scolded her, waving her hand dismissively. “We were just talking about the fact that since you guys have yet to even share a bed, that means you haven’t reached third base! That’s all!” She giggled. She often boasted the fact that she lost her virginity before her brother, but she kept that to herself for now. Lukas was also a little confused on why Andrew had gotten so defensive, but.. it made him smile either way. Whatre you thinking? he wondered as he watched Andrew contemplate on what he should dare him to do. Lukas was still sitting rather close to him, so another kiss would be fairly easy. Part of him.. wanted to kiss him.. But they had just kissed, and he was positive the girls didn’t want to watch them make out all night. The dare was unexpected to say the least. Lukas’ eyes widened a bit before he laughed a bit. “Hm.. what I like about you..” He repeated the dare while he contemplated what he wanted to say. “I like.. that you’re honest. You don’t really care what other people think of you.. You just, do your own thing. You can be pretty stubborn but once I got passed those defenses of yours I can tell you’re a total sweetheart. I like that you’re real. You don’t let fame and money get to your head. And you look really good in my photos.” Lukas himself couldn’t tell if he was saying all of this because it was true or just to make their fake relationship look real. The blush on his cheeks was definitely real. “Awwwhhhh!!” All 3 of the girls seemed to pipe up in unison, making Lukas’ cheeks darken once again from embarrassment. Part of him.. meant what he’d said. @Sunfauna

"What does it matter? Sex isn't super important in a relationship you know" he pointed a finger at her, slightly judging what she was trying to say. "I'm more interested in the work put into ones feelings. Genuine feelings. Not a mask that a person can put on to hide and fake it.." She's starting to get on my nerves now. I like sex as much as the next guy, but I'm not open to giving myself to someone if they're just gonna betray me.. he thought, not really wanting to think back on that previous relationship 9 years ago. A heavy sigh left Andrew out of frustration, as he turned his attention to Lukas who had figured out his answer to Andrew's dare. Despite the words that were being said, they felt.. genuine. The pair only knew each other for a few weeks, so there wasn't a whole lot that they knew about the other. But from what he was hearing, Lukas was describing Andrew's personality. How independent he was. It actually surprised him a bit, causing the male's cheeks to become a faint pink. With his serious expression combined with the embarrassment on his cheeks, it looked rather cute. It only darkened when he heard the three girls melting in unison. "I-I see.." was all he could get out, avoiding eye contact with Lukas. His heart did skip a beat but only for that one instance. @Angel

Lukas couldn’t help but smile as he watched Andrew’s reaction. His own heart felt like it was going to beat out of his chest. These feelings… were they.. was he developing a crush? Is that was this was? He was still trying to figure out if that was the case when Lily spoke up. “Okay, I’m bored. Let’s paint eachothers nails.” She stood up and waved her hand dismissively at the boys. “You guys can run along. That is, if you don’t want hot pink nails.” Lukas looked at Lily, then at Andrew, then at Lily again before hopping up and darting out of the room. Once he was out, he waited for Andrew to join him. “I’m sorry if I embarrassed you, that wasn’t my intention. But..” he continued talking as he headed down the stairs. “I was being completely honest. It was a truth, right?” He flashed slight smile before nodding for Andrew to follow him. “Can I show you my favorite spot?” @Sunfauna

Andrew didn't say anything when Lily had declared the game over. Seems she just wanted to toy with us. Go figure. Lily, you are officially on my shit-list The male stood from his spot and left the room, closing the door behind him so he could walk with Lukas. It seemed the brunette was apologizing for embarrassing the other. Andrew shook his head, thinking for a few seconds on what he wanted to say before speaking. "You're fine. Though I guess it may as well have been a Truth disguised as a Dare. I felt that you've been through enough already.." The blonde shoved his hands into his pockets, descending the stairs with Lukas. "I should apologize too, for earlier. I know you were hoping for this relationship thing to be simple. Easy. Not having to worry about things. That hand holding would be enough and lies would fuel us until the end of the trip's week." The blush on his face started to fade after a bit, as he turned his head to look at Lukas. "I know the last thing you wanted was for me to take your first kiss. Not the best way to lose it." Andrew did feel bad a bit for having to do it, but it was either that or get found out. "Also, I know I said some things earlier that might have upset or embarrassed you. Like the bed situation. I was just trying to make it so they wouldn't get suspicious but I feel I might have made it worse" It's not like he was trying to humiliate Lukas. He was trying to save them both. It was the first day and there was so much suspicion that Andrew had to do everything he could to make it seem like a normal relationship. He was doing his best for this debt. @Angel

Lukas looked at Andrew and tilted his head as he started to apologize. It made his heart skip a beat. Andrew.. who was usually tough and didn’t seem to care.. Was making sure that his feelings were being taken care of? Been through enough already? It was strange, seeing that the other didn’t want to put him through more. Lukas would’ve thought it would have been the other way around. He shrugged it off as though it wasn’t a big deal. “I kind of expected it to be honest.” He admitted, making his way to the front door before opening it and stepping out, holding it for Andrew to join him. Then he closed it and continued walking around the house. On the side where the garden was that they were in that morning, there was a little path that let a little ways down the hill. The time it took for them to get to this path was the time Lukas needed to think about what he wanted to say. In truth, he wanted to tell Andrew that he didn’t really mind, that he kind of liked the kiss, that he wouldn’t mind sharing a bed. But.. that would be weird. All of this was fake, and these feelings would dissolve once it was over. “I really don’t mind.” He said, walking down the hill. “You said you weren’t half assing. I’m good, dude.” @Sunfauna

"True, I should have expected as much from your sister. She's quite the little devil, isn't she?" he smirked. Deep inside, he wondered why he was suddenly caring for Lukas' well-being. It had to be because they were friends now, right? That if one of them falters, the plan evaporates and they get found out. He still didn't like lying to everyone, being an accomplice to Lukas' idea of a fake relationship. That for some reason, that empty void he had for those 9 years was starting to fill up, slowly. Was it because it was fake that he was okay with it? That had to be it. He was fine. Just fine. The pair exited the house, with Andrew following Lukas around the side of it to that little garden spot that he had been shown before when they arrived earlier in the day. A quiet place that felt much more secluded. Maybe because the sun had set and the stars were out. That had to be it. "You're right. I wasn't half-assing" he admits, following Lukas down the hill. "Which means you'll expect more from me as the week goes on. Just so you know" he tells the brunette. "If we're to keep up appearances." @Angel

“She can be one yeah. Ever since we were little.” Lukas couldn’t help but laugh at Andrew’s comment. He found himself being more comfortable with the blonde. As if their kiss had broken some barrier. It made sense he supposed.. That was something personal, even if the feelings were fake. He kept leading Andrew down the small path. It led to a little pond that fed into a small river. There was greenery and even a little wooden bridge and a bench to sit on. He glanced back to Andrew as he walked. “More? What could we do more than kissing?” He asked, genuinely curious. Was there something above that they could do in front of his family? It felt like that was.. the top of the line. He found his chest fluttering again at the thoughts of what they could possibly do. And once again, that pink hue returned to his cheeks. This feeling was starting to frustrate him a bit, and as he walked, he kicked a rock into the pond before making his way to the bridge. The moon and starts lit up the night in a cool white tone, and it made the whole area rather pretty. Reflections bounced off the water that moved ever so slightly whenever a fish breached the surface. “I used to come here to think a lot. When I was little. I could show you albums upon albums of photos I’ve taken here.” He laughed quietly, leaning against the railing of the bridge. He glanced to Andrew again, silver eyes shining in the moonlight. “I’m sorry again. For dragging you into this.” @Sunfauna

"I remember I used to butt heads with my brother a lot when we were little.." he gave a faint smile, but it didn't last for very long. He didn't like talking about his brother. Not like he hated him or anything, but because something happened that sort of closed him off. Something he wished he could forget entirely. The silence was deafening though if not for the crickets chirping about and the sound of Lukas' voice. "Well, anything more than that would probably be far too much" Andrew admits. "But, the way we talked to each other would be an easier one. Sure, we can hold hands and that works for some people, kissing to solidify any types of suspicion.. and then there's the way we talk to each other." He labeled each one with a finger on his hand, counting up to 3. "Being sweet with a partner. My form of talk is mainly through teasing" he mentions, following Lukas up onto the bridge and leaning his back against the railing. "How a person talks to their partner tells a lot about them. There's the ones that talk sweet, the ones that tease, and ones who are.. well.. a bit more aggressive or should I say.. protective" It was hard to tell what one Andrew fell under cause he could easily do all three. But he did mention that teasing was his form. The male looked up at the sky, staring at the stars. To think that it was easier to see them way out here was something else. To think a serious looking guy like Andrew could be sweet? That'd be a sight to see. "I could give you a demonstration if you want. Then just tell me which you prefer. Or rather, whatever is the most comfortable for you" @Angel

Lukas turned, jumping up on the railing to sit on it as he listened to the other. He wanted to probe him about his brother but.. Based on how he sounded, it seemed best to let that go for now. The silence that fell for a moment allowed for the night sounds to be more prominent. Crickets chirping. An owl in the distance. The soft sound of the water below them. It was quite peaceful - nice break for the duo. “The way we talk to eachother?” Lukas’ head tilted. There were so many layers to a relationship than he’d originally thought. No wonder he’d avoided it.. all of this sounded exhausting. But, to make this work, he had to learn. “Oh really? I hadn’t noticed.” He laughed when Andrew had mentioned his form of talking. But.. to Lukas, he’d seen all 3 of these sides. He wondered what he was personally.. “Yeah, let’s do that.” He agreed to the demonstrations, sitting up on the railing to give Andrew his full attention. The blonde looked really pretty in the moonlight, especially when he had been looking up at the stars. Lukas had missed those the most - being able to see all of the stars outside of the city. @Sunfauna

"Well, you probably never noticed cause you don't care, right?" he asked, taking a step so he was standing in front of Lukas who was now sitting on the railing. "The way people talk to each other when in a relationship is just an extension of their personality. A more caring side I guess you could say" To Andrew, that was easier said than done. Trying to talk this way with no real feelings attached was difficult. Especially when it involved a fake relationship. Fake feelings. The blonde took a deep breath, trying to compose himself. "Now, you can let me know if it's too much, what you don't like, and I'll do my best to mold myself for you. Okay?" His hazel eyes stared back at Lukas' the faint reflection of the stars in those eyes. Then, like a switch had been flipped, he started with the first one: just being sweet. "Hey, you doing alright today? I hope I didn't embarrass you too much with my words during that little game" he spoke, his eyes softened some. One hand reached up to gently caress Lukas' cheek. "I promise I won't do it again, okay? Can you forgive me?" The other hand wrapped around Lukas' back to hold him in case he tried to lean back. Andrew's lips pressed gently against Lukas' for only a few seconds before pulling away. That was just the first one: Sweet. Now to see how Lukas felt about it. @Angel

“Right..” he replied, though his tone seemed unsure. A caring side. Andrew’s voice echoed in his mind as he nodded. “Makes sense.” He said, shrugging his shoulders. He nodded in response while he mentally prepared himself. This is all fake. No real feelings. Nothing real at all. He also took a deep breath as Andrew approached. Lukas hadn’t expected Andrew to flip so easily. His eyes widened a bit as his entire demeanor softened and his hand touched his cheek. He had to resist the urge to lean into his hand, and he found himself resisting the urge to return the soft peck. It all made his cheeks light up pink, but he wasn’t sure how to feel about it. It was interesting to say the least but… “It doesn’t feel like you.” He admitted. “I know this is like.. supposed to be fake and all that, which is fine but.. I don’t want you to force yourself into a love language you don’t follow yknow? So the whole being sweet and gentle thing doesn’t seem like .. you. Show me something else.” @Sunfauna

Andrew looked at Lukas after pulling away from the kiss. What Lukas was saying was true. It didn't seem like himself. Then again, it was also a demonstration on the type of love a person can give. This one being on the sweeter and gentler side. The other two, well, they were a bit different. Sure the teasing side was still somewhat gentle, but the final one? Well, it was the last one entirely. There was a 4th one that Andrew hadn't mentioned. One that was sweet but with thorns. He purposely left that one out because it felt more aggressive than anything. "What? You don't think I can be sweet and gentle?" Andrew asked, tilting his head a bit to look at the brunette. "Well, you'd be right. Not my style at all" He pulled away for a moment, preparing himself for the next one and flipping the switch once again. "Hey, Lukas.. Tell me.. Were you embarrassed about what happened earlier?" he asked, a teasing look in his eyes. The male reached out his hand this time, slightly tilting the brunette's chin up. "The look on your face earlier seemed to tell me you were embarrassed that I'd spill such secrets.. It's cute.." he leaned forwards once more, but this time, the kiss more towards the corner of the mouth rather than on the lips. "You liked that kiss earlier, right? The one to show your sister we were dating? I bet you secretly wanted more.. eh?" he'd whisper against Lukas' skin. After a few seconds, he pulled away and the switch flipped off. "The teasing one, how did that feel to you?" he asked. @Angel

Lukas shook his head. “No no, I think you very well could. But, I think it’d be rarer than maybe something else.” He leaned forward a bit, gripping the railing he was sitting on with his hands. He tilted his head a bit as he watched Andrew get prepared. Once again, he prepared himself as well. There was no preparing for this one. This style.. it fit Andrew well. At least, to Lukas it did. His eyes widened and his face flushed a deep red, despite him trying not to seem very obviously flustered. If Andrew was observant, he would be able to see these.. feelings right away. He had to remind himself that all of this was fake, the feelings he was feeling wouldn’t exist a week from now. Did I want more? He questioned himself. Although Andrew knew the question wasn’t serious, Lukas found himself wondering if he really had felt that way earlier. He cleared his throat before nodding. “That one definitely seemed like you.” He responded. “How did you feel about it? Is that something you could manage doing?” The only issue.. This version really did seem to embarrass the hell out of Lukas, even if it did cause those butterflies to surge through his chest. Could I handle being embarrassed in front of everyone constantly? “Let’s see the last one.” @Sunfauna

Andrew was indeed observant of Lukas' reaction to his teasing impression. If anything, it was similar to what he did back in Lily's room. This was the form of talk he used to get Lily off their backs. In truth, Andrew was pretty good with this one. But the last one that he was going to demonstrate was his personality but heightened. Andrew was a serious, independent guy who would say whatever came to mind without a care for the other's feelings. So for him to use this next one, well, let's just see how it goes. "I can manage this one quite well. It's what I used earlier with you when we were with Lily" he told Lukas. "Though, anytime I do it your face seems to retain this embarrassment. Maybe it's cause your inexperienced or something.." he crossed his arms, thinking for a moment. "But I can show you the last one. Just understand that this one is my personality but heightened. Understand?" He had warned the brunette, so now it was time to get into that headspace of his and flip that switch one final time. A breath in to relax himself and a breath out to begin the final demonstration. "Geez, you really are a dumbass, aren't you?" Andrew's arms remained crossed and the look on his face was one that could scare anybody if given the wrong idea. Narrowed, sharp eyes who had more gold than green in them. A hazel hue that showed so much tenacity in his words. "If you keep making those faces towards me, I'd have thought you truly have fallen for me.." His words were harsh, cold even. It was hard to tell if there was any sort of love behind those words. "Though, I guess I can indulge you if you're so desperate.." Andrew unfolded his arms, resting each one on either side of the railing. A grin as dastardly as they come. "If you want me so bad, just say it. Use your words.." One hand moved from the side to poke Lukas' stomach, trailing up quickly from the stomach to the chest, the neck and to the chin to make him look Andrew square in the eyes. "You're hiding something

.. a dirty little secret. Come on, you can tell me, Lukas.." he moved his head so his lips would gently press against Lukas' ear and whispered "I might even let you indulge me for a bit. What do you say?" @Angel

Yeah, cause I’m inexperienced. That’s it. Definitely not for any other reason. “Got it, you’re good.” He said. He’d already understood Andrew’s personality fairly well, but he wasn’t sure what he’d meant by “heightened.” He swung his legs slightly as he waited for the blonde to get ready. Once again, no amount of prep from the brunette would have prepared him for this one. He tensed a bit at the first sentence alone. If he had to be honest, he didn’t like this version. But.. if this is what Andrew was usually like, who was he to stop him from being like this over the other two? Lukas had forced him into this, and if he was supposed to be in love with him, then Andrew deserved to do what he’d wanted. Right? The younger man’s eyes widened as he was forced to look into Andrew’s eyes before being interrogated. For some reason, this felt.. so real. So real in fact, Lukas sat up and shook his head. “A secret? I don’t know what you’re talking about.” He moved to lean backwards in an attempt to back off a bit, and in this one movement, he made a mistake. The brunette leaned so far back that he fell backwards off the railing, into the water. @Sunfauna

Andrew didn't expect Lukas to respond to this one. In fact, he thought that maybe this would have scared him off. But the way he spoke, it almost felt real in turn. Was he responding to Andrew's demonstration? Or could it be that he really was hiding a secret? Either way, before Andrew could even speak, the brunette had stumbled backwards and fell into the water. The blonde looked over the railing at the brunette, a bit surprised before a small smirk played on his lips. "Dumbass. You'll catch a cold if you stay like that.." With a sigh, he leaned off the railing, taking a few steps back before running forwards and leaping over the railing, nearly falling into the water but catching himself on a nearby statue's arm. He reached out a hand to grasp ahold of Lukas and pull him out of the water. "Guess we better go inside before you get sick.. Seriously, what were you thinking?" the blonde pursed his lips in annoyance before dragging Lukas off back around the side of the home and inside. "Go dry off. Change out of those clothes. I don't need you getting sick on this damn trip.." he sighed before walking off to hang out in the family room and to leave Lukas to get out of those wet clothes. @Angel

Lukas gasped as he came out of the water. It was only deep enough to go up to the middle of his biceps, but it was freezing. He was going to just climb out of the side, but before he could, Andrew was suddenly above him, reaching out for him. Lukas hesitated, but took his hand and let him help him out. And he was still sort of surprised as Andrew dragged him all the way back inside. He didn’t really process what had happened until he was in the foyer. Its not like I fell on purpose. He was shivering by the time they made it inside, and he walked away from Andrew without really saying much. He made his way to the bathroom near his bedroom, deciding to shower the pond water off. He was in there for a while, just contemplating things as he stood in the warm water. Today was confusing.. and exhausting.. He didn’t understand these feelings, or why he was having them, or why Andrew amplified them. In the family room, Lily and her friends had the lights turned off, making it almost completely dark, save for the horror movie playing on the tv. They were all huddled together under a blanket, eating popcorn while intently watching the tv. When Lily heard Andrew, she turned and screamed, not having expected him. As a result, the other two girls screamed as well. @Sunfauna

"Geez.. quit screamin.." Andrew glared, shoving a hand to cover Lily's mouth. "You're loud." After a few seconds he removed his hand, resting them in his pockets. The male glanced at the tv screen, noticing the movie they were watching was a horror one. So they're watching some scary movie? Eh, no wonder they jumped. Probably thought I was some killer.. If only.. he thought to himself. Andrew walked around the couch to take a seat on it, far away from the three girls. He had one hand resting at his side while the other rested on the arm of the couch, propped up so he could lean his head against it. "Hey, I've got a question for you" he asked Lily without looking at her. "I understand that Lukas' never been in a relationship before until me.." he started, remembering to keep the relationship ruse going. "..but do you think I'm scaring him at all?" The question was genuine. Sure he could have asked Lukas this question, but he felt that for some reason, it was best to get another's point of view. It's not like I think he's lying to me or anything when I ask him such things. But it'd be better to ask someone who actually knows Lukas. I've only known him for a few weeks, but I don't know a whole lot about him. "He blushes so easily, I can't tell if its embarrassment or not.." @Angel

Lily’s eyes widened as Andrew’s hand clasped over her mouth. “Sorry.” She said softly before turning around back to the tv. Only when Andrew spoke again did she look at him. In all honesty, he kind of intimidated her. she looked over and tilted her head. “Hm? What is it?” She asked, popping a couple pieces of popcorn into her mouth. “Scaring him?” She looked up as though she was thinking before shaking her head. “Nuh uh.” She held up a finger as a way of telling him one second while she swallowed her food. “He’s never been in a relationship, but the way I’ve seen his reactions? Those don’t seem like scared ones. Those seem like he’s genuinely into you. Like you fluster him a lot. He gets all shy and you can kind of tell when he has butterflies if you look at him close enough.” She shrugged. Maybe that was her just being a sister, but who knows. “The blushing is definitely because you fluster him. Not embarrassment.” She turned her attention back to the tv. Lukas had finished his shower, wrapping a towel around his waist and walking to his bedroom. There, he changed into comfier clothes - a simple white t-shirt and basketball shorts before making his way to the family room, where he’d seen Andrew go towards last. He walked in, glanced at the tv, then glanced at everyone sitting on the couch before just leaning on the doorframe, not wanting to interrupt. @Sunfauna

Genuinely into me? Well, maybe to her it looks genuine. We are just pretending to be partners after all. he thought to himself, trying to think of what she meant by the butterflies he has. So he has a tell then? His eyes narrowed a bit, but not in any type of anger, more so relaxed, contemplating on how to find out what this tell was. Is there a way to fake butterflies? Hm.. It seemed like Andrew was thinking about this quite deeply while the girls were watching their movie. He pulled out his phone, searching it up himself. Let's see here, apparently there are a few ways to tell when a person has butterflies. Oh, I see now. Increased heart rate, shaking or trembling, feeling nervous or anxious.. Well, those two I can figure out. I can't exactly tell what he's feeling though. Sweaty hands.. lightheaded or dizzy and shortness of breath.. These last ones sound like symptoms of a person getting sick.. Just as Andrew was about to ask another question, from the corner of his eye he saw someone standing in the doorway. He turned his head to see Lukas had come downstairs. By the looks of it he had changed out of the wet clothes. Great. Without saying anything, he made a hand motion as if silently calling Lukas to come over and join them on the couch. Come. Over. Here. he mouthed to Lukas before turning his head back to watch the movie. @Angel

Lukas was just silently watching the tv from where he was. He was trying to figure out what movie it was first off. After watching for a moment, the killer came on screen. Halloween. A classic. He stood there, glancing to the couch every now and then. Mostly to Andrew, who was too preoccupied to notice him right away. That was fine. It gave Lukas time to study him more. His jawline, the way he pulled his hair back, his resting expression. It was interesting.. usually when he photographed things, it was rarely people. So when he studied his subjects, it was also rarely a person. So he took his time with studying this one. Just as he was about to look away, Andrew locked eyes with him suddenly. He mouthed the words get over here. But.. was he upset? Lukas’ eyebrows furrowed slightly as he made his way over, trying to be quiet as to not interrupt. However, once again, Lily jumped and screamed at the sudden notice of another person in the room, and once again, the other girls screamed. Lukas jumped in surprise and stopped before looking at them. “Jesus. What’s your deal?” So much for not interrupting. He finished making his way back over to the couch. Since they were in front of Lily and her friends, Lukas crawled onto the couch rather close to Andrew, leaning against him slightly. He looked up to him, still concerned about how he’d asked him to come over. “Are you upset with me?” He whispered. It was a genuine question - whether Andrew was mad at him for falling in the pond still or for something else, Lukas didn’t like feeling like he was mad at him, even as a friend. @Sunfauna

The sudden scream from the girls nearly caused the male to snap at them, but he held it back. Geez, they're so jumpy.. He had this annoyed look on his face, which seemed to carry over when Lukas had taken a seat next to Andrew, leaning on him a bit. The blonde reached his hand over so it draped over Lukas' shoulders. The blonde was silent while watching the movie, but his eyes shifted slightly when he heard Lukas faintly ask if he was upset, specifically at the brunette. "No, I'm not mad at you.." he started before raising his voice at the females. "Just these damn kids over here screaming in my damn ears. Are you trying to make me go deaf?" He clearly had this pissed off look on his face, one similar to the demonstrations from earlier in the garden. But he calmed down a little bit when he responded to Lukas. "Don't worry about it. If I was mad at you, I'd tell you.." Man, these killer slasher movies are something else. If the girls are scared of these types of movies, why watch them? Honestly. It's just a damn movie.. @Angel

“Yeah, that’s clearly our plan.” Lily snapped back. “Jeez, you don’t hafta be so mean about it.” She huffed as she continued watching and eating her popcorn. Lukas looked at her with a glare, “Quit, Lily.” She huffed again, but dropped it. Lukas shifted, resting against the blonde in a comfier way. He continued to whisper quietly. “You seemed mad when I fell into the pond, that’s all.” He closed his eyes halfway as he watched the movie. The way he was laying on Andrew, he could faintly hear his heartbeat. With his arm around him, those butterflies faintly came back as he laid there. He thought back to the demonstrations at the pond. He never really told Andrew which one he liked best. Probably the second one.. kind of sweet but in a teasing way maybe? He absentmindedly began fiddling with Andrew’s shirt, much like he did when he was wearing long sleeves. It wasn’t intentional, just something he did while he thought. @Sunfauna

The blonde blinked, looking down at Lukas for a moment as he spoke, talking about the way he spoke when Lukas had fallen into the pond. "Oh, I didn't realize it. I guess it was because I was still in character.." he said in a hushed tone. "I wasn't expecting you to fall into the pond though. Did I scare you?" Andrew watched as Lukas fiddled with his shirt. Why was that? Was there something wrong with it? No, nothing like that. But even going so far as to ask Lukas if he scared him, even though he had asked Lily that type of question. Would that mean what he was thinking earlier? Does he like me? There was a moment where his heart did skip a beat a few times, but it stopped after Andrew composed himself. No way. That's hardly something to think about. Right now, I can't sense any change in him.. But it's also dark, so I can't see what he looks like right now either.. Without saying anything, Andrew used the hand he was leaning on to take Lukas' hand in his, entwining the fingers. He brought their hands up towards his lips and he pressed them on the back of the brunette's hand before letting them rest in his lap. I'm thinking too much into it.. @Angel

Lukas shook his head. “No, just.. embarrassed I guess. I’ve never fallen into that pond before.” He let himself laugh as quietly as he could in order not to disturb his sister. “Thank you for pulling me out though.” He said. His eyes never left the tv screen. He’d seen this movie hundreds of times, so he knew when things were gonna happen. This helped in the jumpscares, when the girls would jump, he would be fine. Better than embarrassing himself. He continued to play with Andrew’s shirt absentmindedly for a while as he watched. He was still thinking. How was the rest of this week going to go? Were these feelings going to get worse..? His eyes widened slightly as he felt Andrew take his hand, and his heart seemed to start racing when he kissed it. God, what is this? He thought, but he kept his fingers laced with the blonde’s, trying to stay relaxed into him. That way, the girls wouldn’t notice. That.. and hopefully Andrew wouldn’t either. After the movie had played for a while, it was getting near the end when Lukas yawned, having to sit up and stretch a bit in order to not fall asleep. A quick glance at the clock showed it was almost 1 am. Mariah had fallen asleep, and Lily was close behind her. Lukas looked back at Andrew. “Are you tired?” @Sunfauna

Embarrassed. Lily had told me earlier it was because he liked me. So if its just out of embarrassment, then it's fine.. A sigh of relief escaped him. Good As the movie continued to play, Andrew continued to watch in boredom. The time certainly had passed them by. Glancing to look at the girls who were finally quiet, practically on the verge of dozing off entirely. It had gotten pretty late anyway with the time being 1am. I guess I should sleep.. he thought, his eyes trailing to Lukas who sat up stretching. "Yeah, a bit. Guess we should go sleep, eh?" he stood up from his spot on the couch, peering at the girls for a moment to find the three had officially drifted to sleep. Andrew shut off the tv. He wasn't chivalrous enough to take the girls back to Lily's room, so he left them there on the couch. "Come on" he held out his hand, waiting for Lukas to take it before walking with the other up the stairs. "You can have your bed back, by the way. I don't mind sleeping on the floor this time" he said, reaching the top of the stairs. "I don't mind it really" It was hard to say if Andrew was being considerate of Lukas or not, but he wasn't going to force the other to share the bed when he was still so embarrassed about the slightest fake romantic thing that Andrew would do. The pair had reached the room and Andrew was prepared to sleep on the floor tonight as he walked over to grab one of the pillows from the bed. @Angel

Lukas smiled and nodded before climbing off the couch. He honestly didn’t care to take the girls to their room either, so he was fine with leaving them on the couch. He took Andrew’s hand before following him up the stairs. When they got to his bedroom, Lukas tilted his head. “Andrew, I don’t mind sharing the bed, honestly.” He shrugged. He was trying to be less embarrassed about everything. He figured maybe this would be a good first step.. “Don’t sleep on the floor, please. It’s uncomfortable, trust me.” Lukas crawled into the bed, laying on one side and leaving enough room for Andrew to lay in it too. Luckily, it was a queen size. “Seriously, cmon.” He pat the spot next to him. “We don’t have to cuddle or anything.” He added as a joke with a small laugh. “And tomorrow, I’ll try to be.. more cooperative..” Lukas layed down, facing away from the blonde. He just didn’t want to make him uncomfortable is all. He wanted them both to be able to relax when they weren’t having to put on a show. But.. that feeling came up again - the one that made Lukas feel like it wasn’t for show. He found it hard to fall asleep now with these thoughts flooding his brain, and it took a while for him to really find rest. Another dream came to him. Though, this one had a more sinister tone to it. Lukas found himself inside of his house, but it was dark, and it looked abandoned. He was trying to find a way out, and the front door had been locked. He began wandering around, but every door seemed to be locked. He wandered to his bedroom, trying to maybe see if he could jump out of his window. There was a feeling of paranoia, like something was going to happen. He made it to his door, slowly turning the knob and once it opened… He sat up suddenly, breathing heavily as he looked around. There was nothing but silence. A glance at the clock on his nightstand. 4:13 am. “Jesus..” he mumbled quietly, pushing his hair back from his forehead. Nothing had even happened in the dream, yet the vibe wa

Andrew stared at Lukas for a second before setting the pillow back down on the bed. "Fine. If you say you're fine with it, then I'll believe you." The male walked over towards his suitcase, opening it to take out some nightwear. "I'm gonna go change real quick, I'll be back in a bit" he told the brunette before leaving towards the bathroom to go change. After a few minutes, he returned, having swapped out his day clothes for something more comfortable. He settled on a pair of black sweatpants along with a black band shirt, specifically a Panic! at the Disco 'Pray for the Wicked' shirt. He loved the band, despite it having disbanded quite a while ago. Closing the door behind him, he set his day clothes off to the side by his suitcase and pulling the hair tie to let his hair hang freely before turning off the lights and climbing into bed next to Lukas. After laying down, Andrew rolled onto his side so even his back was facing Lukas. The male was growing tired the more he laid there and managed to fall asleep a lot faster than Lukas did. He wasn't dreaming of anything in particular tonight though, but it wasn't a complete dreamless sleep. Throughout the night, he had slept somewhat peacefully. Though the sudden jolt from Lukas' side of the bed did stir the male. Even going so far as to wrap his arms around the other's torso, holding them closer to him. His breathing was steady, quiet, and he didn't move too much afterwards. To say that his subconscious was doing such things wouldn't be far from the truth. @Angel

Lukas’ eyes widened slightly at first for fear he’d woken the blonde up. But.. he hadn’t. Instead, he found his arms around him, pulling him close. He hesitated for a moment. He doesn’t know what he’s doing.. I shouldn’t feed into it.. should I? Despite this thought, there was a sense of comfort that came from Andrew holding him. So he shifted to wear he was laying facing towards him. Slowly, hesitantly, he buried his head into his chest and closed his eyes again. It took a moment for him to relax in this position, but he did eventually fall asleep again - this time, in Andrew’s arms instead of facing away from him. When morning game, the suns rays peeked through the window. Thankfully, Lukas was facing away from it, so it didn’t bother him any. Plus, he was still buried in Andrew’s chest, sleeping peacefully. Once again, a knock came at the door. It made the brunette shift slightly, but he only cuddled closer to Andrew instead of actually getting up. @Sunfauna

When morning came around and the sun's rays hitting his face, the blonde groaned in annoyance. He absolutely hated waking up in the mornings. Especially with such little sleep to begin with. The knock on the door only solidified that morning hatred as he pulled the covers over his head to block out the sun and to lessen any noise. I don't want to wake up yet. It's a hassle.. he thought to himself, clutching Lukas tighter. Waking up means having to work.. I don't wanna work today.. Despite thinking this, Andrew had forgotten that he wasn't back at home right now. Nor was he working today. It was a routine of his for sure. Waking up each morning to Angie barging into his apartment telling him to hurry up and get ready, to eat, everything. Sure she was his manager, but she also acted like an annoyed mother at times too. "I don't want to.." he spoke. "I just wanna stay.. like this for a bit.." His face had softened some, his breathing returning to being quiet, barely audible. His arms around Lukas that had tightened at one point began to relax once again. His heartbeat a slow rhythm with the rise and fall of his chest. @Angel

Another knock. Lukas squeezed his eyes shut for a moment before he opened them. It was rather dark, seeing as Andrew pulled the blanket over their heads. He went to move, but suddenly the other clutched him tighter. He woke up fully now, his eyes widening slightly. He didn’t dare move, not an inch. Feeling Andrew hold him close like this.. those damn butterflies again. They swarmed his chest and throat and threatened to spill out of his mouth. He had to catch his breath for a moment in order to not breathe too quickly, not wanting to wake Andrew up. Stay.. like this..? Lukas moved slowly, so very slowly, and he wrapped his arms around Andrew, gently holding him as well. After that, he reburied his face in his chest. Whoever was knocking went away, so maybe.. he could get a little more sleep… When he woke up again, the sun was no longer shining in through the window, meaning it was higher in the sky. He still didn’t wanna move from his spot, so he stayed like this, not wanting to wake the other. @Sunfauna

Once the silence returned, Andrew also returned to sleep, less restless. It was only until a bit later did he start to wake up from his slumber. Tired eyes gazed into the other as he realized where he was and what he was doing. He had found the two were entangled, practically holding each other and close. There was a faint blush coming to Andrew's cheek that thankfully couldn't be seen under the covers. "O-Oi.." he said quietly, slowly releasing his hold on the brunette and sitting up in bed. "I ended up cuddling in my sleep again.." the male sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Sorry. Didn't mean to do that.." To think that Andrew of all people would be a cuddler in his sleep was something else. Especially given that this was a fake relationship. He shouldn't be hugging another man in his sleep. With a sigh, Andrew swung his legs out from under the covers, letting his feet rest on the floor as he stretched. "Man, I shouldn't have stayed up so late.. It's already 10am.. I'd rather sleep all day.." he sighed in defeat, realizing he'd have to wake up and live life again. Here's to the start of Day 2. @Angel

Lukas could have almost fallen asleep again, except for the fact that Andrew’s voice came from above him. He jumped a bit, immediately letting go of the blonde before sitting up behind him. Cuddling in his sleep..? Lukas’ cheeks dusted a light pink before he shook his head. “Don’t feel the need to apologize, it’s okay.” He said. It was an interesting thing to learn about the other, and he sort of wanted to learn more like that.. what made him tick, his little habits.. As Andrew started to get up, Lukas also crawled out of bed. He wanted to apologize for feeding into the cuddling, but he didn’t want to make the blonde feel more awkward about the whole situation. He looked over at him, a bit of concern flashing over his face. “You could sleep more, if you want..” he offered. “I can make sure no one bothers you.” He was genuinely worried about Andrew and wanted him to be rested. Meanwhile, he moved to his suitcase, flipping it open to find an outfit for the day. Another knock at the door. He paused what he was doing to open it, finding Lily. “Mom says we’re going into town today. So be ready in like.. an hour.” She said, a bit of sass to her tone with her arms crossed. “Sure.” Lukas responded before she left, and he closed the door. He turned back towards Andrew. “Is that okay? Going into town?” @Sunfauna

Andrew noticed the blush on Lukas' face, causing the male to wonder if he did something to make the other uncomfortable. Even though he was saying that it was okay, and that he shouldn't apologize for it. "Fine. Just, don't tell anyone about this.. okay? It's embarrassing." To admit that something like that was out of his own control, that took a lot of guts to say. Especially to Lukas. The sound of a knock at the door made the blonde turn his head, watching the brunette go to open the door, seeing Lily there. She looked ticked off about something. What it was exactly was hard to place, but after the door was shut, he relaxed a bit more, at least until he heard what they were doing today. "Going.. into town?" he questioned, thinking for a moment. Going into town.. with Lukas.. That'd give the wrong impression. Especially if people recognize me. I don't need rumors to spread. That'd make things difficult for me, and for him.. But, if I really have to go into town.. "It's fine. I'll go shower" he said as he made his way to his suitcase, rummaging for the clothes he would wear for today. Something that would keep his identity hidden while still looking casual and not inconspicuous. Oh, this will do.. After getting the clothes he needed, Andrew headed for the door and left the room. "I'll make it quick" he said before leaving. The shower itself only took about half an hour or so, but the entire time he was wondering if what he had packed with him would be enough. Surely. Leaving the bathroom after he had taken his shower and gotten dressed, the male descended the stairs into the foyer. His outfit for today consisted of a black leather jacket with the words 'We're all Doomed' written on the back with what looked to be a bunch of people ascending into the sky during an eclipse. His jeans were slightly torn and he wore a pair of Doc Martens boots with red roses on the sides. His hair was pulled back into a tight bun, with a beanie covering his hair. A set of ear

rings on each side. A Helix, lobe and upper lobe. All not real piercings of course due to his manager. The look, wasn't something Andrew used often but he did use it at times when on his days off so he could roam around freely without getting too much attention. @Angel

“My lips are sealed.” He did a motion as if he were zipping his lips closed before he gave a reassuring smile. Then, he resumed rummaging through his clothes before he found a suitable outfit. He glanced up to Andrew. “If that’s okay. If not, I can pretend something’s wrong and get us out of going.” He suggested. But it seemed Andrew had already made up his mind with going. He wasn’t sure why his family would suggest such a thing.. they knew Andrew was sort of well-known. He wouldn’t want to be recognized in public. “You’re fine. Take your time.” When Andrew was gone, Lukas took that opportunity to change into his own clothes. He threw on a black shirt, that had white long sleeves and a yellow smiley face on the front, as well as some basic black jeans and black converse. He grabbed his camera - he never left without it, and headed down to the foyer to wait with his family. When Andrew finally joined, he was almost unrecognizable if Lukas hadn’t already known him. It was definitely still a sight to see. Lukas smiled and when Andrew joined him, he grabbed his hand and squeezed it lightly. “I don’t think anyone’ll recognize you..” His family had already started to head out. “Do you want to go by a different name?” He kept ahold of his hand as they walked. It was clear he was concerned about Andrew in the entire situation, and was clearly trying to make sure he would be comfortable the whole time. Lukas looked at him while they walked to the car and tilted his head. “I think you look cool with piercings.” He complimented before climbing in. The drive to town wasn’t a very long one. Lukas sort of played on his phone, but would lean against Andrew’s shoulder in order to keep up their little act. The great thing about the town he grew up in was that it was a small cute town, nothing too crazy or extravagant compared to his home. You could park and walk from one side of town to the other with ease. They parked at a small diner, presumably for breakfast. That’s when Judi

Andrew noticed that Lukas was already waiting, walking over to meet up with the male. "I would hope not. Otherwise this would have been for nothing" he tells the brunette. As for a different name, he shook his head. "Not really, I mean, Andy could work, it's just a shortened version of my name.." he tells the other. Honestly, he wasn't the biggest fan of that name, and didn't like using it much. However in this case, it was better to have one just to be extra sure. Lukas had taken ahold of the blonde's hand and led him outside towards the car. They piled in with Andrew and Lukas sitting in the back. Though, all Andrew really did was look out the window the entire time. Lukas' comment about the piercings took him by surprise. He likes the piercings? Is that a hint at his type? Then again.. I never really asked what his type was.. I don't think he has one since he's never dated before.. he thought to himself. Or maybe he just hasn't realized what his type is.. With the drive into town, Andrew let Lukas lean on him. All the blonde did was sit there in silence, looking out the window as the town came into view. It was small and cute for sure. Normal by his standards. Perfect. However, his attention from looking outside was more in tuned to what Judith had mentioned to Lukas. A surprise? What kind of surprise would there be here at a diner? @Angel

The family started to pile out of the car, with Lukas and Andrew being the last ones out. Lukas had been thinking the same as the other. What possible surprise could there be? He looked around to see if he could possibly spot it, but he didn’t see anything. He nervously took Andrew’s hand. He honestly hated surprises. He always wanted to know exactly what was happening and when. The family made their way inside the diner. It was a cute little spot, with an 80’s retro style to it. Teals and pinks litered every piece of furniture in the place. A jukebox in the corner was playing Michael Jackson faintly over the speakers. If Lukas had been asked, he’d say he didn’t like this place that much. It was never busy, but it was one of 2 diners in the whole town. The other one was more of a breakfast joint while this one was more of a mix of everything. Lily probably picked it. “Lukas!” A females voice made him whip his head to the side. An instant gasp escape led him as he saw his best friend Taylor, in the flesh. “Taylor?!” He ran up to greet her, and the two embraced tightly. “Holy shit dude, how are you here?” He asked. She had been sitting at a table that had one of those round booths circling it. “Your parents flew me in, but only for a couple of days. Then I have to go back.” She giggled before playfully punching his shoulder. “The folks tell me you finally got a lil someone~” Lukas’ face lit up a bit. They would have to up their game in front of Taylor. If anyone could see through him, it was her. She knew everything about him, and she could tell when he was lying. “Yeah!” He replied, turning as the rest of the family joined him and sat in the booth. He grabbed Andrew’s hand to pull him near then wrapped his arms around his arm, hugging it. “This is Andrew.” He spoke sort of quietly, remembering Andrew’s request to remain lowkey. @Sunfauna

Andrew followed the family inside the diner, looking around at how retro it looked. Honestly, not too bad. Plus they had a jukebox that he was interested in looking at but before he could get too far, he heard loud voices behind him. The male blinked, looking to see Lukas hugging a woman. By the way the two were reacting, they had to be friends or something. Cool, they can catch up. I wanna see what songs are on this juk- Not even five seconds after the two had embraced did Andrew get pulled back and into the conversation. Oh, he's being.. awfully clingy.. Andrew thought before glancing at the woman in front of them. "It's nice to meet you. I'm Andrew, but you can just call me Andy" he held out his hand to the female. "Is this a friend of yours?" he glanced at Lukas for a few seconds before returning his attention to the female. "Either way, it's awesome to meet a friend of Lukas' " @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/15/2024 03:04
Lukas definitely was being clingier than usual, holding on rather tightly. “This is my best friend Taylor. She knows me super, super well.” Lukas smiled up at Andrew, almost trying to drop hints as Taylor shook his hand. Taylor smiled. “It’s nice to meet you too! And wow, aren’t you a looker.” She giggled. “How’d you land this one, Lu?” She teased. Lukas’ face flushed and he rolled his eyes. “Says the one who insisted I was pretty since the day we met.” The female giggled and shrugged her shoulders. “I guess. Hopefully he finds you just as pretty though.” Taylor was 23. Average build and average height for a girl her age. She had emerald green eyes and thick brown wavy hair that reached her mid back. She genuinely was a very sweet person. And, as Lukas said, she knew him very well. His parents and Lily had already taken their seats, and Taylor slid in beside Judith, and Lukas sat beside her. He looked up to Andrew. “You were going to the jukebox right? Don’t let me stop you this time.” @Sunfauna

Andrew Bishop BOT 03/15/2024 03:20
Best friend, eh? Well that's gonna be a problem. If she knows basically everything about Lukas, I'll have to be strategic with how I interact with her.. he thought to himself. "I'm a looker? Well, tell me something I haven't been told before" he smiles. The male glanced down at Lukas for a minute, taking his hand and tilting the others' chin. "He does have a pretty face indeed. I always saw it as more.. cute. But now that I look at it after you say that.." he leaned down slightly to land a kiss onto the brunette's lips, pulling away slightly to see that blush. "Ah, this is the face I see all the time.. Cute" he smiled. Andrew watched as Taylor and Lukas went to go take their seats at the booth. Harold and Lily were already sitting on the other side, which meant the last spot was for him. "Oh? You're gonna free me from your embrace? I'm honored" he smiled slightly. "I just wanna see what they have" With that, Andrew walked over to the jukebox, resting a hand on top of it and leaning over it some so he could scan through the different songs. Hm, which to play.. @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/15/2024 03:27
There go those butterflies again. Dammit. Lukas face seemed permanently stained as he got comfortable in the booth. “Well yeah, for now.” He smiled back as Andrew walked away. Then, he turned to face Taylor again. She was resting her head on her hand, propped up on her elbow. She looked him dead in the face. “So, a boyfriend, huh? What happened to being forever alone?” Lukas smiled again. Was she seeing through him already? No way. “Well, things change you know? Andrew’s .. different.” Taylor looked at him inquisitively before saying a soft “Mhm.” Before opening the menu. Lukas did the same, every now and then, glancing back to look at Andrew at the jukebox. Part of him was trying to see if he’d be back. The other part was making sure he was okay, that no one had recognized him. Taylor being here was a total curveball. Fooling his family would’ve been so easy. But it already felt like Taylor was picking up on the fact that this wasn’t real. But.. if these feelings he was having in secret were real.. maybe he could play this off better than he’d thought. “Lukas.” He heard his name suddenly, making him jump. Snapping back to reality, he noticed the waitress was at the table, trying to get drink orders. “Sorry-“ he started, glancing back at Andrew who was still preoccupied. “We’ll both take waters, please.” @Sunfauna

Andrew looked through the different songs and artists available in the jukebox. Let's see, Take on Me by a-ha, My Girl by The Temptations.. Dancing Queen by ABBA.. Let's go with this one.. The blonde selected a song and over the speakers he could hear the song playing. Ooh, been a while since I heard this one.. The song of choice? Dancing Queen. The blonde was quietly singing the song to himself as he made his way to the booth after the waitress had left with their drink orders. He was attempting to make Lukas laugh. I haven't done this kind of shit since High School.. he thought to himself. Back when he was a Sophomore in High School, he was in Theater where one of the assignments was to make up a dance to an assigned song. This happened to be the song he did way back. @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/15/2024 04:10
The music in the stereo speakers changed suddenly, and Lukas smiled as he heard the song playing. This one was always a fun one to listen to. As he looked back to Andrew, he was making his way back while singing and doing a little dance. So much for keeping yourself lowkey. Either way, the brunette couldn’t help but laugh. The little dance was silly, yet Lukas couldn’t look away. The rest of his family and Taylor all joined in looking as well, and their own giggles became evident. “What’re you doing?” Lukas smiled as Andrew finally got to the table. He could tell the blonde was trying to make him laugh, and it was working. But he couldn’t tell if this was part of their little act. It had to be right? The issue he’d had this whole trip was not being able to tell what was real and what was fake. Although, it probably all was likely to be fake, of course. But.. the things they did caused very real feelings for Lukas. And he wasn’t sure if he’d be able to handle the confusion anymore. @Sunfauna

The only reasons that Andrew was doing such a thing were 1, the diner was basically empty so it was fine. 2, because he needed Lukas to not worry or doubt. The one thing that Andrew was good at was improvising. Hell, the guy took theater in school, no wonder he was so good at acting. "What's wrong?" Andrew asked, sliding into the booth seat opposite Lukas and Taylor. "You looked a bit down. Besides, I saw the song and remembered it from High school" he told them. "The reason the dance was so girly was cause the group I was in was mainly females. So, I had to go with whatever they did. Not bad, right?" While the act of dancing in public was something he didn't like, he only did it to cheer up Lukas. That alone wasn't an act. "So, what're we talkin about over here?" he looked between Taylor and Lukas as he leaned back in his seat. "I bet.. you were talking about me. Right? I felt my ears burning.. What secrets are you telling her?" @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/15/2024 14:06
Lukas’ eyes widened slightly for just a moment. He was.. trying to cheer me up? Were his emotions that obvious? Andrew could tell that he was worried. He picked up on it so easily… yet again, a faint hue found its home on his cheeks as he smiled. God.. he blushed so unbelievably easy. “You were in a dance group?” Lukas was just as surprised by this new fact, and he genuinely wished he’d known Andrew in highschool just for that alone. “Talking about you? No way.” Taylor smiled as she joked, waving her hand at him. Lukas laughed and shook his head. “No secrets, promise.” He leaned forward a bit, crossing his arms on the table as he looked at Andrew. It felt like his heart was going to beat out of his chest as he looked at him. After a moment, he had to force himself to look away as the waitress returned with their drinks, setting them down in front of them. “Are we ready to order?” She asked. Lukas hadn’t even looked at the menu. He sat up and flipped it open, trying to scan it over while the rest of his family order. When it was his turn, he just got a cheeseburger with fries. Simple enough. @Sunfauna

Andrew nodded his head, "Yeah, for a class assignment back in high school. I was in Theater for about 2 years. But that was before I switched over to Gymnastics" the blonde sighed, resting a elbow on the table so he could lean on it a bit. "Don't get me wrong, acting is great. It's just hard getting into the character's headspace at times. But that dance assignment, God.. it was an odd one for sure. It was fun though in its own way" The male leaned back some when the waitress came by with their drinks, asking if they were ready to order. The blonde picked up the menu and looked through it for a bit, similar to Lukas. Damn, what can I order that isn't a shit ton of food? he thought to himself. Oh, this looks fine "I'll take the pancakes with sausage. Oh, but no eggs please" he gave a soft smile to the waitress before handing her the menu. So far I'm doing alright. Looks like this will be an easy little breakfast outing @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/16/2024 21:45
Gymnastics huh? So that little stunt with kicking the guy off the train wasn’t anything new for him. Lukas smiled at the thought, imagining young Andrew doing flips and flinging himself around. It wasn’t a strange idea. It fit him. Once the waitress disappeared with their orders, it didn’t take more than 10 minutes for her to reappear with them. The brunch went rather smoothly and quickly, with their conversations being friendly and no one seemed to raise any suspicion surrounding the two boys at the table. Lukas didn’t really eat all of his food, but he didn’t mind either. He just wasn’t very hungry. When everyone had finished, Taylor leaned back in her seat. “What do you guys think about roller skating?” Lukas’ eyes widened and he looked at her. “I haven’t been in forever!” “We can drop you kiddos off if you’d like. Lily wants to go shopping at the mall.” His mom said with a smile. Lukas looked at Andrew. “Do you want to?” @Sunfauna

Andrew Bishop BOT 03/16/2024 21:52
Breakfast seemed to have gone by rather smoothly so far. Maybe it was thanks to Andrew cheering up Lukas? Honestly, the more he thought about it, if he hadn't done anything, if Lukas had that look on his face still, would Taylor have seen through them? Would things have gone differently if Andrew had just acted normal? It was probably really weird and out of character for me to do what I did earlier, I realize that. Certainly not low-profile. If there had been more people in here, I would just ask like myself, brush it off even. But I'm dealing with quite a dangerous foe in front of me.. Taylor's mention about Roller Skating had brushed past Andrew at first until the question towards him on if he wanted to go had sparked him to come back out of his thoughts. "Huh? I don't mind it. Whatever you want to do, I'm game" he told Lukas. I don't know what they were talking about just now.. I completely zoned out.. the blonde thought to himself. Now I'm the one worrying. Just means I need to act normal from now on. Do that, and maybe we can get through this outing with Taylor.. @Angel

Lukas’ smile only spread wider as Andrew agreed. He didn’t even notice the worry on the blonde’s face - he had turned to Taylor and gotten up excitedly. “Let’s go.” He let her up before making his way to Andrew and taking his hand to lead him back out to the car. His family followed suit and they all piled in, now with Taylor sitting in Lily’s road. The drive to the roller rink was fairly short, and once there, Taylor and Lukas hopped out relatively quickly. Once again, the brunette took Andrew’s hand. “This is gonna be fun, no?” He waved bye to his family as they drove off, and he dragged Andrew inside. Taylor had already made her way in and was paying for them. While waiting, Lukas looked toward Andrew. “Have you ever skated before?” Once they paid, they walked into the main area. The large skate floor only had a few skaters on it, plenty of room for them to join. They made their way over to where they get the skates, telling the guy their sizes. @Sunfauna

That smile on Lukas' face, despite Andrew not having a clue as to what he agreed to; he wasn't sure what he was getting himself into. Well, whatever it is, I hope it's not something crazy the male thought as he was led out of the diner by Lukas. The drive over there wasn't too long. When they were dropped off, Andrew looked up at the name of the place for a brief second before being led inside by Lukas. Is this.. a Roller Rink? Well, Andrew had certainly never been to one. This would be the next challenge it seemed. His eyes fell to look at Lukas and he shook his head. "No, I've never done this sort of thing before" he admits, being led over to the counter where they had to get their skates. I never went out of my way to enjoy places like this. Maybe that's why I'm nervous about trying this. I could always say no, but I feel that would make Lukas sad. Once getting their skates, the trio had made towards a little sitting lounge area where they could put them on. He had barely gotten the first one on and just feeling the wheels on the bottom of his feet, he knew this would be a troublesome time. Once the second skate was one and tied tight, he attempted to stand from his seat but sat down immediately when he felt his balance disappear. Shit, how do you do this.. he thought, a bit unsure. Okay.. try again. The blonde attempted to try again, this time using something for support to get himself out of his seat. But he was afraid of slipping, hesitating at even the slightest movement. @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/16/2024 23:30
Hes never.. rollerskated? Lukas suddenly felt a bit of concern. Would the blonde be okay? He could teach him, that could work! Lukas sat on the little bench and started putting his skates on before he paused to watch Andrew stand up. Instinctively, when it seemed he’d lost his balance, Lukas’ hands shot out as if to catch him or help him. He didn’t notice, but Taylor was side eyeing the entire situation. As if trying to read it. “Are you okay? Here.” Lukas stood, moving in front of Andrew with ease and holding his hands out for the other to take. “Looks like I found something I’m better than you at~” He teased lightly, hoping Andrew would take it as a joke as intended. “Here, look,” he started once Andrew took his hands. “I can skate backwards, so don’t worry about it.” He led Andrew to the oval shaped rink to better be able to help him. He let go, guiding Andrew to take a hold of the wall. “Just watch first.” Lukas moved to the other side of the wall. It was only waist height. Andrew was on the side that was “outside” of the rink, and Lukas was on the inside, on the skate floor. He stopped in front of Andrew and placed a gentle kiss on his lips before backing up again. “Watch my feet.” And with that, he and Taylor started to skate. The music that was playing was something like early 2000’s hits - currently Yeah! By usher. Lukas didn’t mind this kind of music, it fit rollerskating. He’d intended for this first loop to be more of a visual lesson, but Taylor had other plans. She skated in front of him before turning, grabbing his hand, and beginning to skate backwards while sort of pulling him along. She giggled as she started to dance with him almost, before pulling him closer and without tripping over eachother, spun in a circle for a moment while still moving. @Sunfauna

Andrew was genuinely concerned about trying this, even thinking that he should opt out of participating, but he lifted his gaze to see Lukas in front of him, holding his hands out to him. His question about if he was okay.. he wasn't sure how to answer it. He wanted to lie to make Lukas not worry but he couldn't bring himself to lie to Lukas. "Not really. I'm scared to try this" he says to the brunette. Clearly Lukas was trying to cheer him up by teasing the blonde. "What do you mean better at than me? I don't think I'm better at anything than- W-Wait.. What are you doing?" The blonde found himself being pulled up from off the seat, and he was genuinely trying to keep his balance. One could compare him to a baby giraffe trying to stand. Slowly, Andrew was being led towards the roller rink by Lukas, but only towards the outside of the rink where the blonde held onto the half wall. "What do you mean watch your-" Andrew's question was caught off by the sudden kiss to his lips. It caught him off guard for sure. So far, only Andrew had been the one putting in lots of work into this fake relationship. But the fact that Lukas had planted one on him, surprised him. It caused the blood to rush to his cheeks. I wasn't expecting that.. the male thought, bringing his fingertips to his lips for a second only to immediately grip the wall again when he felt like was slipping. Shit! That was close! Andrew lifted his gaze to look ahead on the roller rink, watching Lukas and Taylor skating about. It seemed so natural to them. Probably because they did it before at some point. I don't think I can do that.. my center of balance.. @Angel

Lukas smiled as he finally let go of Taylor. He had been so focused on her that once that focus was broken, he found himself immediately moving to look at Andrew again. Why? He finished the loop before stopping in front of Andrew again, placing his hands on the wall. Taylor continued to skate. “We don’t have to do this.” Lukas started off with that. “But.. I’m here. And I don’t mind holding your hands.” He smiled, being genuine. “You just kind of have to kick your feet out to the sides, one at a time. It’ll push you forward.” He skated around to the other side of the wall where the blonde was before offering his hands again. “I can’t promise we won’t fall. But I promise I’ll help you up.” He waited for Andrew to feel confident enough to take his hands before slowly leading him onto the floor. “Just take your time.” He explained. @Sunfauna

"I can't back out of this" he tells Lukas in a hushed tone, afraid that Taylor would overhear. "I have to follow through, otherwise this secret will get out. She's been eyeing us, me, for a while now. I don't want to give in to her" he admits. Watching Lukas roll out of the rink and to the outside where Andrew was using the wall for support. The brunette was holding his hands out, offering them to the blonde. "Kick my feet out?" he said to himself, extending his hands towards Lukas' but hesitated a moment, afraid to take them. You're fine. Just get through this hurdle and you will be back on solid ground without wheels.. Andrew took Lukas' hands, wobbling here and there until he was brought up into the rink. Kick your feet out to the sides. Kick your feet out.. to the sides.. Andrew looked down at his feet, seeing them wobble every now and then. His heart was beating quickly, not out of any kind of love, it was more from fear. The fear of falling down. You're okay, just.. be calm.. he tried to coax himself. Slowly, Andrew attempted to do what Lukas had mentioned, moving one foot to the side. But it kept going and Andrew slipped onto the floor. "Shit!" he groaned, laying there for a moment, his heart racing. Get up. Just get up. Andrew attempted to get back up, stumbling all over the place like a newborn giraffe. In one of his attempts, he felt himself slipping again and immediately clung to Lukas, holding him in a hug. His heart was racing still, afraid to move. @Angel

“I’ve noticed..” Lukas responded, glancing over his shoulder to look at Taylor, who conveniently had been looking at them as well. He looked back to Andrew. Concern was rising in him as well. “Just focus okay?” He kept a tight hold on Andrew’s hands as he tried to help him keep balance. “If you keep looking at your feet, you’re gonna wobble.” He tried to coach. Lukas even tried to gently rub circles on his hands in attempt to ease him. He tried to pull him along the rink, but Andrew was being rather shaky. When he suddenly tripped, he’d almost dragged the brunette down with him, but he’d managed to balance himself. “Are you okay-?” He gasped quietly as Andrew tried to stand. Part of him wanted to laugh, but the other part was concerned and tried to help him up. Before he could grab him, the blonde had grabbed him first. His eyes widened as he froze, also unmoving. Hesitantly, he wrapped his arms around Andrew. They hadn’t been this close since they’d accidentally cuddled. Lukas could feel his heart rate increase and pound. Those pesky butterflies reemerged, and he felt like the other boy would definitely feel his face heating up against his shoulder and neck. “A-Andrew..” he stuttered, a bit lost for words. “We don’t have to do this..” but he kept a tight hold of the other. @Sunfauna

Andrew shook his head against Lukas' shoulder. "No, I'll keep going. No matter how many tries it takes" he tells the brunette. Back then when Andrew was just starting out with modeling, he had the hardest time with posing for photos. He always felt unnatural and worried all the time that he wasn't doing his best. That he wasn't as good as the other models. He always put in so much work and effort to get to where he was today. This was no different. He could feel the pounding of their hearts against each other. Whose was who was hard to tell apart. But it was clear that Andrew wasn't going to give in. He was stubborn like that. "I can do this.." he whispered, trying to psych himself up in preparation for another attempt. You can do this, Andrew. You're not going to let a pair of skates keep you down. This is supposed to be a fun outing. If I bring down the mood, it'll look bad on us. On me. The blonde took a breath before pulling away from the brunette, holding the others hands as he tried to regain his balance. Kick out your feet. Center of balance is in the core. Same as with gymnastics, right? Focus on the core and move.. Slowly, Andrew started to kick his feet side to side. It was slow but he was doing his best. Any time he felt his balance shifting, he had to center himself. For the first time, he didn't trip or fall. "H-Hey! I'm doing it!" the blonde smiled. "I'm actually doing it, holy shit.." It was probably the first genuine smile he ever showed. @Angel

Lukas smiled a bit at the blonde’s determination. “Okay okay.” He couldn’t help but smile more when the hug pulled away and Andrew had began again. “You can do this.” He repeated after him. The brunette was still holding onto his hands, skating backwards as Andrew went forwards. He stayed like that for awhile before slowly letting go of his hands, still skating backwards as he watched the other go. As that genuine smile appeared, Lukas’ eyes widened slightly. It suddenly felt like everything was in slow motion, and all he could focus on was Andrew. The blonde was almost glowing to him, beaming with proudness for himself as he finally got the hang of skating. It felt like butterflies were pouring out of his mouth. He couldn’t deny this any longer. This crush was real. He just continued staring at Andrew. He wasn’t moving his legs, more like just drifting backwards. That was, until he ran into the divider wall, and almost fell over it. Things were suddenly moving at normal speed again. @Sunfauna

The movements started to feel a bit easier the more he moved. He couldn't believe that it didn't take too much more to learn. Granted, he still felt like a newborn giraffe trying to walk, but at least it was something. The smile on Andrew's face stayed for quite a bit, until it turned to that of shock and concern when he witnessed Lukas hit the divider wall. "Whoa, you okay?" Andrew asked, "Wait, how do I stop? I didn't learn how to stop!" the blonde said frantically as he ran into Lukas, sending both males over the divider wall and onto the floor. "Shit.. That hurts" Andrew exhaled, laying on his back. "Fuck. Lukas, are you okay?" he sat up, looking at the brunette. "I didn't hurt you did I? You didn't sprain an ankle or break anything?" His hazel eyes gazed over the brunette as he tried to help the other sit up. @Angel

Lukas hadn’t even heard Andrew ask if he was okay. He was in his own little world. Only when he noticed the other getting way too close did his eyes widen and his hands fly up in an attempt to stop it. “Toe stops, toe stops, toe sto-“ he frantically tried to yell out how to stop without much explanation, but obviously that didn’t work. Andrew slammed into him, sending both of them over the wall. The next thing Lukas felt was his head hit the ground with a hard thump. He squeezed his eyes shut as he saw stars for a moment. A soft groan escaped him as he put the palm of his hand to his forehead. “I shoulda taught you how to stop..” he mumbled. He still hadn’t opened his eyes, his head felt like his heartbeat was in it. Taylor rushed over, having seen the whole thing play out. “Holy shit - are you guys okay?” She stopped beside them. “Lukas?” She bent down to their level and helped Andrew help him up. “Dude, your head bounced off the floor like a basketball.” @Sunfauna

Andrew had genuine concern now after seeing how the other had hit the ground. "You're not bleeding are you? Let me check" The male tilted Lukas' head downwards a bit so he could check. It didn't seem like it, thankfully. But clearly that had to have hurt. A sigh of relief from Andrew, "No bleeding. But I do agree, that was a heavy fall. I'm sorry" he apologized, taking Lukas' hands in his own. "Should we take a break for a bit? Make sure it's not a concussion or anything?" he looked to Taylor, not sure what he should do. This is a nightmare. I thought I had a grasp on what I was doing, guess I didn't. I should have asked how to stop. I was just so excited to get learn something new that I overlooked a crucial part of it all. I have to fix this somehow.. "Lukas, do you need me to get you anything?" the blonde asked. I hate spending money unnecessarily, but.. "I can get you a cold water or something" he offered, looking around for a vending machine. Why was he so worried about Lukas? Normally he'd brush off anything like that. But for some reason, he was genuinely concerned for his friend. For his fake boyfriend. "I'll get you a water. Wait right here with Taylor, okay?" Without saying much else, the blonde stood up, carefully trying to maneuver himself towards a vending machine across the room and nearly slamming into it by accident. He was now out of earshot of the two. @Angel

It sounded like Andrew and Taylor were super far away, but slowly coming closer. He finally opened his eyes when Andrew took his hands, silver ones meeting hazel ones. “Huh? No, no, I’m okay.” He mumbled, shaking his head. It did in fact hurt, and it was currently pounding, but Lukas hated being a cause for worry. Plus, it was an accident, and he didn’t want Andrew to feel bad. “Water sounds nice.” He said softly. Andrew seemed so.. worried. It caused a faint pink hue to dust to his cheeks. Hes only worried because he caused me to fall, that’s all. He tried to convince himself in his head. “I know he said to stay here.” Taylor spoke up, helping Lukas take off his skates then helping him stand up by lifting him under the shoulders. “But I don’t think the floor is very comfy..” Lukas nodded in agreement, and as Taylor stood him up to lead him to a better seat, he stumbled, not once, but multiple times, before falling over again, grabbing onto a nearby table to keep himself from hitting the floor again. What is going on? I have no balance whatsoever- It was like he was telling his body to do one thing, and it would do the opposite. It felt like he was spinning, and his head continued to ache. “Shit, Lukas, we should call your mom.” Lukas shook his head at the suggestion. “Just shut up and help me.” Taylor was a bit surprised, as the boy never talked to really anyone like that, especially her. @Sunfauna

Andrew had reached the vending machine, reaching for his wallet and pulling out his card to swipe the card reader. "Okay, water.. water.. Here we go.." the male pushed the button for a water bottle, hearing it hit the tray below. He leaned down to get it, slamming his head into the machine before standing himself up. "Ow, fuckin skates.." he mumbled to himself before turning around and heading back towards the two who were at a nearby table. The male, also crashed into the table, but managed to steady himself. "Here.." Andrew helped Taylor with hoisting the brunette up some onto one of his own shoulders, carefully moving him to one of the chairs. Andrew took a seat, removing his skates and setting them aside. He rested the cold water bottle on the back of Lukas' head. "This should help with any swelling.. Are you sure you're alright? Cause you don't look like it to me" Damn it. I basically tackled him over the wall. This is really not good. "Okay.. um.. should we call his parents? I don't know what to do in these kinds of situations.." he looked to Taylor, worry on his face. @Angel

Lukas let out a stifled groan as he was lifted into the chair. The music in the rink was too loud, and the lights - even though it was pretty dark - seemed all too bright. He put his head in his hands, propping it up on the table with his elbows as he tried to get his head to calm down. “I said I’m fine.” His tone was snappy, although unintentional. The cold water bottle on his head came as a small surprise, but he relaxed his shoulders a bit as Andrew held it against him. Taylor looked at Lukas, then Andrew, then pulled out her phone. She began rapid fire texting on it for a moment before sitting down to take her own skates off. A faint ding was heard and she looked at her phone again before showing Andrew the phone. It showed text messages between her and Lukas’ mom. Lukas fell at the rink, I think he might be hurt. Oh no! We’re on our way. Be there in 10! Taylor had kept the whole contacting his mom thing silent. Lukas hadn’t moved, just letting the cold water bottle sit on his head while he blocked out the light with his hands. But Taylor didn’t want to set him off - he seemed.. unreasonably touchy. @Sunfauna

By the way Lukas was acting, it really did seem like he had a concussion. The way he was covering his eyes and the rather harsh attitude change seemed say it all. What could he do to fix this? There wasn't much he could do besides keeping the swelling down with the cold water bottle. The music was certainly loud, maybe.. he could muffle the sound some? "Here, take this" Andrew pointed at the water bottle as if asking Taylor to hold it for him. Once she did, he took his hands and placed them gently on either side of Lukas' head, covering his ears. If Lukas ever got snappy at him, he'd try to not take it to heart. He was just concerned for the brunette's health at this point. Though, when Taylor showed the text conversation that she had with Lukas mom seemed to relax him a little bit. They'll get here, and we'll go home. I'll make sure he gets proper rest.. he thought to himself. I need to make up for this.. Somehow From the corner of his eye, he managed to spot the family. They had arrived as fast as they could. Hopefully, everything would be fine. It had to be. @Angel

Lukas knew he was coming off harshly but he couldn’t help it. He wanted the pounding headache that had evolved to go away. He knew Andrew hadn’t meant what happened, and he was also frustrated that their fun had ended so abruptly. Taylor put her phone away before looking at Andrew as he pointed to the water bottle. She took it before tilting her head curiously when the blonde covered Lukas’ ears. At first, Lukas flinched since he hadn’t expected it. But.. slowly, he relaxed more. That’s so much better.. The music wasn’t entirely blocked out, but it was definitely much, much quieter. A soft sigh of contentment left his nose as he finally seemed to relax more. When his parents arrived, Lily stayed in the car. Judith spotted them almost immediately and made her way over. “What happened?” She asked with concern. Lukas stayed as he was, too content with the darkness of his hands and the muffled sound under Andrew’s. Taylor explained what had happened. Judith actually.. giggled a bit. “I’m sure he’ll be alright. Let’s take him home to get some rest. Are you okay, hun?” She turned, looking at Andrew. “What a way to end a skating date, hm?” She smiled and leaned down to where only he could hear. “Don’t worry, I don’t think he’ll be mad at you.” Then, she stood up again. Taylor attempted to help Lukas up out of the chair to walk outside, but when he tried, it still felt like he was unable to control his balance, and kept stumbling. Now that he had to open his eyes and Andrew had to let go, a frustrated look came over his face again. @Sunfauna

Seeing Judith coming over to check on the three, Andrew wondered if he'd get scolded for hurting her son. Though, her words seemed to have the opposite effect. She wasn't mad in the slightest, in fact, she seemed to think Lukas wouldn't be mad at him. Maybe, but it still felt like his fault for causing this. Now the real challenge was to get Lukas up. The male looked to have lost his balance completely from the fall, which meant that moving him like this would be impossible. Okay, if we can't make him move on his own.. Andrew took his beanie off, and put it on Lukas, pulling it down so it covered the male's eyes and ears. It wouldn't be good for muffling sound, unfortunately, but it did its job with blocking out the light. "Alright, let's get you home.." he started to say, moving one hand to wrap around the brunette's back while the other swept under the back of the others knees, carrying him bridal style. "Taylor, can you return the skates for us? I'll get Lukas into the car" he informed the female as he made followed Judith out of the building and towards the car. He let Judith open the door for them and he climbed inside, setting Lukas down for a moment as he sat himself down. Gently, he reached out his hands to pull the male slowly to lie down, letting him use his lap as a makeshift pillow. He placed his hands under the beanie to cover the others ears. Hopefully this would help him. @Angel

Lukas wanted to hit something, to scream and throw a chair, anything other than what was happening.. It was embarrassing and frustrating and confusing all at once, and even more so because it was happening in front of Andrew. He was about to speak up when suddenly everything was dark again, even with his eyes open. It took a moment to realize that he had the blonde’s beanie on, and he could feel his cheeks heating up red underneath it. Why does he care so much-? It’s not like he had to give me the beanie in order to- His thoughts were interrupted as he was picked up. He’d never been carried like this before. At first, he held onto Andrew tightly as if he were going to be dropped, but after a moment, he slowly started to relax. Maybe the beanie wasn’t such a bad idea after all. With his eyes closed, it was basically pitch black. When Andrew spoke to her, Taylor had been wide eyed with her mouth slightly open. She hadn’t seen Andrew with his hair fully down and without the beanie, but now… she recognized him. She snapped out of it and quickly nodded, rushing to return the skates. She joined the others in the car after. Lukas had no idea what was going on, as he couldn’t see. But he soon realized he was in the car. Thank god. We’re going home. At first, he was going to remove the beanie and offer it back to Andrew, but the other male had started to pull him down. Lukas didn’t fight it. He lowered himself, resting on Andrew’s legs. The blush on his cheeks intensified - and deepened more so when Andrew covered his ears again. Compared to the past, the other was being extremely gentle and careful with him.. and it made those butterflies swarm in his chest again. It only took a few moments of being like this before he fell asleep, his chest rising and falling slowly as his whole body relaxed. On their way home and once she noticed he was asleep, Taylor turned to face Andrew. “I think he’s out, you can remove your hands I think.” She looked down at Lukas then up

to the blonde. “You’re.. that model guy. In the magazines.” She stated. She didn’t seem like a fan of any sort. Just recognized him. When they got home, the sun was beginning to lower in the sky, and Lukas was comfortable where he was, unmoving. @Sunfauna

It seemed like Lukas had relaxed considerably after getting in the car. It was a huge gamble for the blonde to remove his beanie, which basically hid his identity it seemed. Sure, he didn't want to get recognized or anything, but he didn't care about that right now. He was more concerned about Lukas. To be honest, he didn't know why he was so concerned for the other. It's not like they were actually dating. He only ever cared deeply for someone if he was. Was he falling without realizing it? Then, Taylor's voice sparked the blonde's attention, his hazel eyes gazing up to look at Taylor as she mentioned that she had recognized him. "Yeah, that's me.." he said quietly, his eyes falling onto Lukas once again. Despite being told he could remove his hands, for some reason, Andrew kept them there. He was afraid that if he moved even a bit he'd stir the brunette awake. When they had pulled into the driveway at home, Andrew was careful with his movements, getting out of the car and taking the brunette again into his arms. "Let me put him up in his room. I have a feeling you wanna talk to me.. so, just meet me in the family room I guess" he tells Taylor. The male hoists Lukas out of the car and carries him up and into the house. He wasn't too heavy, thankfully. Once he ascended the stairs, he made his way towards Lukas' room, pushing open the door and setting the male down in his bed. Andrew removed Lukas' shoes, setting them down on the floor by the bed. He carefully removed the beanie, setting it on the nightstand before tucking the brunette in, keeping the curtains closed and the lights off. I hope he recovers soon.. Shutting the door, Andrew walks down the hall and descends down the stairs into the family room, waiting for Taylor before shutting the door behind them. Time to face the music I guess.. @Angel

Lukas didn’t stir once the whole time Andrew was moving him about. When he pulled the beanie off, the brunette locks were a mess, disheveled and all over the place. But still, he remained asleep, a peaceful expression on his face. Taylor did in fact want to talk to Andrew. She had a couple questions. Some concerns. She had waited patiently for the male to reappear. While she did, she thought of everything from that day. Their meeting, how the boys interacted, the accident and how Andrew reacted to that. Once the blonde was back, they walked into the family room. She verified no one else was around before looking at him and crossing her arms. “There’s only two things this could be. Either Lukas is being brainwashed, or… this relationship of yours is fake.” @Sunfauna

Andrew Bishop BOT 03/18/2024 16:01
Andrew's eyes narrowed at hearing the two options given to him. Brainwashed or Fake.. I feel that everyone who doesn't believe it thinks I'm the one forcing him.. I'm the one painted as the bad guy. I'll need more information from her before I can tell her anything. I don't really know much about Taylor aside that she knows Lukas very well. So whatever I did to warrant this suspicion is enough of my attention "You say brainwashed or fake.. What makes you think it is either of those things?" he asks Taylor, walking towards the couch and taking a seat on one of the ends. I'll have to choose my words carefully with this one. I'm handling a live bomb after all. If she discovers the relationship is fake, surely she will tell the family. I have to take this seriously, even though I want to admit the relationship is fake, I need to hear her out @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/18/2024 16:26
Taylor tilted her head slightly at Andrew’s question. She couldn’t help but watch him as he moved about the room before also moving to the couch. “Well.. I say that because as long as I’ve known him, Lukas hasn’t been into the whole relationship scene. He couldn’t care less about them.” She sat down, but not too close. “So I guess you could say I’m curious. What I’ve seen is.. interesting. And confusing.” She sighed as she leaned back into the cushions. “Either, you’re both putting on a show in which he is really good at acting.. or he’s brainwashed and therefore thinks he’s in love or… well..” she trailed off as she looked to be in thought. “If neither of those are the case, then I’d think he actually has feelings for you.” She looked over to Andrew to guage his reaction. “I’ve never seen him act like this with anyone. So he either is faking it, or he genuinely is into it. But that’s why I’m asking you.” @Sunfauna

Andrew listened to the female speak, trying to gauge what she was going on about. Well, the relationship is fake.. but Lukas having feelings for me? That can't be right. She just said that he wasn't about relationships. What should I do? Maybe I should just tell her after all? "You have good eyes, and know Lukas a lot better than me.." he starts, glancing at the female. "You are right, it is a fake relationship. But just so we are clear, I'm not the one who started it. He did" Andrew admits quietly, not wanting to be too loud. There was this look of confusion on his face though, as if he was trying to piece something together. "I don't want you blabbing about this to his family though. I don't like it either.." With a deep breath and a slow, exhale, he continued. "I'll tell you what happened. But after that, you need to tell me what you're going on about saying that Lukas has feelings for me. Because that can't be right.." The male started to explain from the beginning about what went down to Taylor. Talking about their encounters together, and what sparked the idea of the fake relationship. This is going to get me into so much trouble, I can already tell @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/18/2024 16:37
Taylor had a look of “I-knew-it” written across her face. She smiled a bit as she rested her hand on her palm to listen to the other boy speak. “That sounds like something Lu would do. I didn’t think you’d admit it so easily.” She said. “And don’t worry about it, I’m not just gonna sell my best friend out like that.” The whole time she listened, she seemed relatively unsurprised. When Andrew finished, she sighed. “Well, calm your horses, I ain’t telling his family. But.. I will say it’s sort of our faults. Ever since we got into highschool, we’ve all pressured him into finding someone. And he did.. Once. But it wasn’t anything serious. I think it lasted like, not even a day. The other guy agreed to date him, but then later revealed it was all a bet with his asshole friends, just to see if Lukas would fall for it. And since then…” she trailed off, shrugging. “But.. Lu is a horrible actor. So I have a feeling that some of his “acting”” - she made air quotes with her fingers - “Isn’t actually acting. I think.. he’s genuinely developing something for you. And that-“ she stood up and crossed her arms a bit. “Is an issue. Especially if you don’t have feelings for him. I can’t let him be hurt like that again.” @Sunfauna

Andrew Bishop BOT 03/18/2024 16:52
Andrew listened to Taylor, trying to understand the situation he was thrown into. He was glad that Taylor wouldn't blab about the fake relationship but what she said really stuck to the man. His acting.. isn't really acting? This made Andrew freeze up. Was she saying that Lukas had genuinely fallen for him? No, that can't be right.. "I took have dealt with something similar" he tells her. If I tell her why I don't date, she'd understand, right? "I had a partner about 9 years ago who I was head over heels for. Someone is give just about anything for.. But he turned his back on me one day. I caught him with another guy. He had moved on from me and found someone better. Leaving me.. in the dust" His words, despite trying to be serious ended up sounding shaky. This man, who was normally so serious, blunt and cold was basically trauma dumping to this woman before him. "Not once did I think anything was wrong. He played it well on his face. But the moment I saw them, I had this growing hatred. That hatred.. has prevented me from ever dating again.." Andrew swallowed, trying to calm himself down. "Lukas and I.. we agreed that this is fake. That nothing real would come of it. I only accepted because it's a debt I need to repay. But I don't want to end up feeling.. empty again like before. I can't allow it. I won't." Despite the words he was saying being harsh, his eyes told another story. One that slightly wished for that loving embrace. Maybe he was using the fake relationship to remember what he had lost. Even so, he wasn't going to allow himself to feel anything for Lukas. He'd make sure of it. "We promised. When this holiday week is over.. we'll end it. That was our deal.." @Angel

Taylor’s eyes softened at Andrew’s story. “That’s awful, I’m sorry that happened. But..” she signed and played with the ends of her hair. “Lu’s not like that. I’m not talking you into dating but.. I’m just.. asking you to consider him for a moment.” She moved closer, sitting beside Andrew now. “I can tell you’re scared. And I.. I think Lukas is too. I’m sure if I talked to him he’d say the same thing. That you guys promised to end it.. that nothing would come of it.” She hesitated, but put a hand on Andrew’s shoulder. “I think, if you guys both let down your walls some, you might find something.” Taylor wanted to say more, but the family room door opened. She looked up to see who it could possibly be. It was… Lukas. He stumbled a bit, leaning against the doorframe as he tried to keep his balance. His hair was still a mess and it was clear he wasn’t ready to get up. He seemed like he didn’t even really notice the two sitting on the couch. He continued to stumble forward a bit, trying to make his way into the kitchen. He was dying of thirst and needed water, but his head was pounding and he was still a bit dizzy. “Lu..?” Taylor tried to call out and stood, watching him walk. @Sunfauna

Andrew Bishop BOT 03/18/2024 19:14
Lower my walls? I put them up to keep those feelings from being hurt again. I can't possibly do that he thought to himself, not sure exactly how he should go about it. Did he even have feelings for Lukas? That was the main question. It was hard to tell since the male was so guarded. Clearly, from what Taylor had told him, Lukas was trying to lower his own. But Andrew wasn't ready for that. At least not now. The sound of the family room door opening caused the blonde to go silent. He turned his head to see Lukas in the doorway. The blonde stood up immediately, walking around the couch and blocking the brunette's path. "Hey, you shouldn't be out of bed. You need to go lie down.." Andrew reached out a hand, but was hesitant for some reason before resting it on Lukas' shoulder. I'm surprised he didn't fall down the stairs. But I shouldn't leave him like this "Here, sit on the couch at least" Andrew gently guided Lukas towards the couch, letting him sit in his spot. "I'll get you some water, okay? Just.. stay put" With that, Andrew left towards where Lukas had attempted to go before, to the kitchen. After a minute or two he came back with a glass of water and handed it to the brunette carefully. Andrew glanced at Taylor for a few seconds, that worried look in his eyes before looking back at Lukas. "This is what you wanted, right? Sorry, I should have left some upstairs for you instead of making you trek down here.." @Angel

Taylor’s face softened again. She very well could be wrong about the whole situation, but.. she didn’t think she was. At first, Lukas glanced at her when she said his name, before waving his hand dismissively. I just want water. I got it. He thought, but didn’t really state out loud. That mission was interrupted however, when he was met with Andrew blocking his path. Lukas stopped, swaying for a moment as he looked up at him. His silver eyes had clear signs of drowsiness, but he seemed adamant on continuing forward, even trying to walk past the taller male. His attempt was useless, as the other was able to reroute him to the couch fairly easily. He sat as told, bringing his legs up to sit with them criss crossed as he leaned into the back of the couch. When Andrew disappeared, Taylor sat beside him and moved some of his hair out of his face. “How’re you feeling?” She asked quietly. He glanced at her then closed his eyes. “My head hurts. But I’m fine.” When the blonde returned, he opened his eyes again and took the water before drinking it down. He drank the whole thing without stopping, not even to catch a breath. When he finished, he just held onto the glass for a moment before standing again. When Andrew tried to stop him this time he shook his head. “I promise I’m okay.” He walked to the kitchen and placed the cup in the sink before returning. He looked at Taylor, then Andrew, then at Taylor. “Did I.. interrupt something?” He asked with a sort of concerned look on his face. @Sunfauna

Watching the brunette with concern in his eyes, Andrew wasn't sure how to address what they were discussing. Or if he should even say anything at all. He hated lying, but it was better to cover up the conversation they had with something else. "No, not really" Andrew started to say, sitting on the arm of the couch. "Just chatting, getting to know one another" he told the male. "Taylor was telling me how she was surprised to know that I was a model. That's all" he shrugged. "I guess that beanie did wonders to hide my identity" he gave a soft smile, even though there was a pain in his chest for having to lie. "Maybe it's the hair. I feel once people see the hair it's a dead giveaway. You think I'd look better with short hair?" He asked, tilting his head a bit to the two. @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/18/2024 22:58
“Oh.” Lukas responded, playing with the ends of his shirt sleeves. A sign that he was nervous, thinking. Something told him that Andrew was lying but.. The blonde hated lying, why would he lie now? It made a sense of unease come over him as he just stared at the two while Andrew kept talking. The brunette was still tired, a little confused, and hurting. So anyone who knew that would understand that his reactions were as real as they come. “Don’t cut it.” He said quickly in response. “Not saying you wouldn’t look better but..” he trailed off, not entirely sure what his own reasoning for him not wanting Andrew to cut his hair was. All he knew was he was tired still. @Sunfauna

Andrew Bishop BOT 03/18/2024 23:13
Andrew was a bit surprised by Lukas' sudden response. "Damn, okay I won't cut it.." he laughed quietly. "Probably best for you to rest. You shouldn't be up and about anyway.." the male looked to the brunette a bit, wondering what to do. It'd be better to have him upstairs in his room instead of down here. "Come on, let's get you back to bed, okay?" The blonde reached out a hand towards the brunette, gently taking his hand and pulling him up. With that, he slowly guided the other out of the room and towards the stairs. He made Lukas go in front of him as he guided the other up the stairs. Once at the top, he led him back to his room and to his bed. "Now, stay in bed this time. Don't make me hold you down" he warned, half joking. "Just.. get better soon, okay?" He leaned down and planted a gentle kiss to Lukas' lips before pulling away. What am I doing.. honestly @Angel

Lukas’ face went pink as Andrew laughed at him. Taylor also smiled and giggled a bit before agreeing with the blonde. “He’s right. You still look like shit.” She said in a joking tone. “Okay..” Lukas said softly before taking Andrew’s hand. He followed him out and up the stairs back to his room. He had to take his time. It felt like it took forever for him to get downstairs, but at least with Andrew there he was a little faster. At first, he was hesitant to lay down. Only when the other male warned him did he lay down. “Andrew..” he started to talk before he was kissed, and he instinctively returned it. *Why did he keep doing this in private? Even if he wasn’t half assing, it was .. interesting. It made his heart skip a beat as he looked up at him. “Can you.. just lay with me for a bit?” He asked. Part of him expected the other to say no, and he honestly wouldn’t have had a problem if he did say no. But the other part of him wanted him to say yes. Just for a little bit. @Sunfauna

The blonde lifted his gaze to look at Lukas when he heard his name. "Hm?" he would say only for the other to ask for him to stay. He wants me to stay? I mean, I shouldn't.. but if that's what will keep him in bed so he can rest.. Andrew sat down on the bed, leaning down to untie his boots and take them off, along with his jacket. "Since when did you become so needy?" Andrew asked teasingly. "Yeah, I don't mind it. After today, I feel like I need a nap too" With a heavy sigh as he flopped down next to the brunette, Andrew stared up at the ceiling. "I am sorry about what happened today. I realize that I'm not very good at skating, and probably will never do it again" he admits, half joking with a small smirk on his lips. "Just promise me you'll sleep this time?" After a bit, his eyes started to feel heavy and he closed them. Today really did wear him out. Maybe with the stress of accidentally injuring Lukas. Or maybe it had to do with the things that Taylor had said to him. I shouldn't have lied to Lukas. I probably shouldn't have told the truth to Taylor either. I don't know what to do anymore.. I'm so lost.. @Angel

Lukas smiled just a bit as Andrew sat on the bed to undo his shoes and jacket. His heart was still pounding out of his chest, and butterflies were in his stomach as he scooted over a bit to make room. He even giggled a little when Andrew called him needy. “I think you’d be good at skating.. I shoulda told you how the little stoppers work. It was my fault.” Lukas replied honestly, still feeling bad that Andrew felt bad. “Promise.” He said softly. When Andrew was finally laid down next to him, Lukas looked up at him, glad that he wasn’t looking back. The moonlight was shining through the window, casting a soft glow on the blonde. It truely was pretty, but his head hurt so bad he had to close his eyes. Finally, he finished his thought. “I promise I’ll sleep if you promise not to leave.” A hesitant hand moved, snaking its way around Andrew’s arm before he hugged it, halfway burying his face into it. Its all fake. It’s all temporary. He reminded himself in his head, even though his heart was arguing the opposite. He wouldn’t be hugging him like this if it wasn’t. It took mere moments for him to be asleep again. @Sunfauna

"If you can convince me, I might try it again.." he tells the brunette. I don't think I could handle trying to skate again with this day being a reminder in my head he thought to himself. "But, let's both take the blame then. You being a terrible teacher, and me being a terrible student" After hearing Lukas' promise that he'd stay and sleep this time, Andrew started to relax a bit. That was until he heard what Lukas had said afterwards. If I promise not to leave? What does he mean by that? It's not like I'm going anywhere.. But with Lukas hugging his arm, that basically solidified that he wouldn't be going anywhere. "Yeah, I promise.." he said quietly. I can't love somebody else. The fear of being betrayed again is just too much for me. I've been fine so far. I can handle this. I won't develop any for him.. Andrew glanced at Lukas once he was sure the other had fallen asleep. I'm afraid to fall again. Last time, nobody was there to catch me.. @Angel

Lukas did in fact keep his promise. He didn’t move a muscle the entire night, staying wrapped around the others arm kind of like a koala as he kept his face buried into his bicep. Even when the blonde woke up, he didn’t move, his breath staying steady. He looked peaceful, finally getting the rest he’d needed. A soft knock came at the door, but they didn’t wait for an answer before it opened. It was Taylor. She peeked her head in to see if either of the boys were awake. “Hello?” She said softly. @Sunfauna

Andrew thought about sleeping, but honestly he couldn't bring himself to. He was thinking about all kinds of things, and it kept him up. Instead, he stared up at the dark ceiling, listening to the quiet breathing of Lukas next to him. Just as he was about to finally get some form of sleep, he heard a knock at the door. Andrew thought about getting up, but realized that Lukas the Koala had a pretty good hold on his arm, so he wasn't gonna be leaving anytime soon. The door opened a little and the sound of Taylor's voice could be heard. It was quiet, but Andrew waved his free hand at her, motioning for her to come in and to keep quiet. "What's up?" he whispered, looking to the female while he laid there trapped. @Angel

Taylor slowly shut the door behind her before making her way into the room. She looked around with a small smile on her face. “He doesn’t change.” She giggled before making it to the bedside and leaning over to peek at Lukas, then at Andrew. “You look a little uh.. stuck..” she giggled again. Lukas shifted, causing her to cover her mouth as she thought maybe she been too loud. He mumbled something in his half awake state - something about muffins and yarn? He finally let go of Andrew, rolling onto his back and stretching out before he finally seemed to start waking up. Taylor stepped back a bit. “Didn’t mean to wake him.” She said before sitting down in his desk chair and grabbing his camera to look through the photos. Lukas finally pried his eyes open, rubbing them before sitting up. If his hair was a mess last night, it definitely was now. The left side was stuck sticking up a bit, as that was the direction he’d been facing while hugging Andrew’s arm. He finally took a moment to look around, blinking as he gathered his thoughts. “What’re you doing in here?” He questioned the female in his chair. She waved her hand dismissively. “Just seeing if you’re doin alright. Not like I walked in on you guys making out or something, at least.” She said in a teasing tone. Lukas’ face flushed a bit, not only at the idea of her walking in on them, but also because even if they had tried, Lukas had no idea how to properly make out with someone. He glanced back at Andrew, who looked rather tired. “Did you.. sleep at all..?” @Sunfauna

Andrew had warned for Taylor to be quiet, but he guessed that wasn't quiet enough when the brunette started to wake up from his sleep. He had been laying in bed all night long, without so much as a wink of sleep. Probably because his mind was too busy to sleep. He was thinking about so many things that he never once had the time to sleep. The male glanced at Lukas and gave a soft smile. "I did not. Busy mind" he told the other. Not like he would say specifically what he was thinking about. I was thinking about you, the past, when this week is up.. "It's fine though. It happens from time to time" he sighs, sitting himself up in bed. "I'm just glad that you got some sleep. How do you feel? Better? Worse?" Andrew asked curiously. He had gone at least a night without sleep before in the past. It was a rare thing to happen though. The blonde yawned before rubbing his eye. "What time is it?" @Angel

Lukas’ face softened a bit in concern. He didn’t sleep at all? He was curious.. making him absentmindedly play with the ends of his sleeves as he wondered what had kept him up. “I feel okay.” He responded. Silver irises stayed locked on Andrew, trying to read his expression, to see if he was really okay with not having slept. He really did feel fine now, which was surprising with how hard he’d hit his head. “I didn’t keep you awake did I..?” He asked, recalling that he’d insisted on hugging his arm throughout the night, not leaving much room for changing positions. “The time?” Taylor glanced up before going back to flipping through the camera footage. “Almost 1.” Lukas’ eyes widened as he snapped his head towards her. “What?” He asked in a bit of surprise. He’d slept for so long.. that had to be why his head didn’t hurt anymore. “Yeah.” She shrugged. “The cooks are working on the thanksgiving dinner and the rest of your family went out to lunch. I’m just hangin here.” Lukas sighed and rubbed his eyes again before slowly climbing out of bed. His legs still felt like jelly, so he did stumble for a moment before standing up again and making his way to the bathroom. @Sunfauna

"No, you didn't keep me awake. I assure you, there was just a lot on my mind, that's all" he reassured Lukas, watching the male sit up. "It's good that you are feeling better. Just don't overdo it. Just because the pain is gone doesn't mean you're completely healed" he warned. But at the mention of the time, it seemed the brunette was more concerned with sleeping for too long. Once Lukas had left the room for the bathroom, Andrew looked at Taylor with concern. "I couldn't sleep at all. After what you told me.. about him.." his voice low, whispering and afraid that Lukas would overhear. "I don't know what to do. I keep.. doing things. We're supposed to act like we're together in front of others but.. I keep.. acting that way even without anyone there. Am I really feeling something without knowing it?" I am, aren't I? I'm feeling things despite building these walls to keep them out. They're climbing and reaching over.. These feelings want out.. @Angel

Taylor glanced up again as Andrew started speaking. She frowned and sighed. “You really don’t feel anything? Not a little bubbly feeling when you’re around him, or sparks when you kiss him? There has to be a reason you keep doing it, even if you’re not doing it in front of someone. If you’re alone, who’s the show for?” She asked, setting Lukas’ camera down. “I think you should talk to him about it. I think it might help. And then maybe you can get some sleep. Your pretty model face has bags.” She leaned forward a bit in the chair, studying him. “It’s okay to be scared.” She finally added. “But I promise, Lukas doesn’t bite. There’s the chance he doesn’t actually have feelings, but I really think he does.. especially walking in on him holding onto you like a koala.” Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Lukas decided to hop in the shower after trying to get his hair to lay down, and it refused to. It didn’t take him too long, maybe 10 minutes or so, but he took his time with drying off and combing his hair down. @Sunfauna

Andrew shook his head, "I'm not letting myself. I think.. because of the walls.. I can't feel it. But I keep doing it.." This was confusing the blonde. He wasn't sure what to do. At the mention of Taylor telling him to talk to Lukas about it he stood up, shaking his head. "Nope. No way. I'm not doing that. Because he knows.. I told him.. I wouldn't feel anything. If I go back on saying that.." he sighed heavily, sitting back down on the bed with his head in his hands. "God I don't know.." This was seriously bothering the male now. How was he to know if he was feeling something if he can't.. feel it? He keeps doing it, so that has to mean something. "I can't ask him about it.." I can't tell him. I'm just.. confused right now. "I can't tell him unless I'm 100% sure.." @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/19/2024 02:53
Taylor sat back in her chair, thinking. “How would you be 100% sure? You’d have to let your walls down to feel something.. but you’re too scared to..” she was genuinely interested in the whole situation, and really wanted to help. “If I’m gonna help, you have to work with me, here.” She pouted at Andrew’s refusal to tell Lukas. “Do you.. do you want me to talk to him, figure out if he has real feelings, then report back to you? I can just tell him I noticed it.” She spun in the chair a bit, trying to occupy herself as much as her mind was. Lukas brushed his teeth before getting dressed in the same clothes he’d taken off - he hadn’t thought about grabbing some since the shower was sort of last minute. Then, instead of going to his room, he made his way to the kitchen to grab something to snack on. He sort of felt bad, still feeling like he’d kept Andrew up, so he took his time making a little fruit salad - one for each of them, with strawberries, blueberries, bananas, grapes, and kiwi. @Sunfauna

A sharp inhale from Andrew as he raised his head from his hands. "I.. I need help. I hate asking for it, but I don't think I have much of a choice right now" he exhaled, his hazel eyes staring at the female. "I feel like some damn teenager all over again, worrying about stupid shit" He was a mess, that's for sure. "Yeah, yeah talk to him for me, please. I hate to say it but I need to know if he really does like me.." "I need a shower.." the male sighed as he stood up from the bed. "This will give you time to talk to him I suppose" He pursed his lips a bit in frustration before leaving the room and heading towards the now empty bathroom. Seems that Lukas had recently used it which was fine. Meant the hot water would come on faster. Andrew closed the door behind him, locking it and began to shed his clothes before allowing himself to step into the shower. I can't believe I don't even know my own feelings. This is such bullshit he thought, annoyed that he had to ask for help. Andrew was an independendant guy. He prefered doing things himself. But when it came down to things he couldn't do? He either brute forced his way through it, or very very rarely asked for help. This was one of those times he asked for help. @Angel

Once Lukas had returned, he tilted his head at Andrew’s absence. “Shower.” Taylor responded. Lukas nodded before setting Andrew’s fruit salad on the nightstand to wait for him while he sat to eat his own. Taylor leaned over and looked at him. “So. Fake relationship, huh?” Lukas’ eyes widened a bit in surprise, but he tried to play it off. “What’re you talking about?” He asked as his face turned red. Taylor giggled. “I know you. You wouldn’t just be dating some hot-shot.” Lukas tilted his head a bit. “How do you know that?” He teased back, but sighed as it was clear she knew what was going on. “Just.. don’t tell anyone, okay?” Taylor made a motion like she was zipping her lips before she smiled. “But… just cause the relationship is fake, doesn’t mean I can’t see that you’re feeling.. something.” Lukas could feel his cheeks heating up as he tried to brush her off. “It’s fake. We promised that no real feelings would develop, and it’s all over after thanksgiving anyways.” The female leaned on her hand. “But you don’t want it to be.” Lukas was just picking at his food now. Do I not want it to be..? Kind of.. He sighed. “Even if they were real, and I’m not saying they are..” he sat the bowl to the side and leaned back on his hands. “It’s not like he’d ever be into me anyways. He’s.. heartbroken still I think.. from his last ex..” @Sunfauna

Letting the hot water run down his back felt nice. It had been a bit since he had just stood under the warm water. Letting the heat relax his muscles. The more he thought about his past, the more it hurt his heart. He had done everything physically possible to keep his partner happy back then, and yet it was never enough. The blonde rested his forehead against the shower wall, thinking to himself about how he could have found a way to fix things. But the more he thought about it, the more he started to see that there was nothing he could do about it. They always find someone new, someone better. Like a toy they'll toss you aside whenever it conveniences them.. Andrew shut off the water, standing there for a minute before stepping out and drying himself off with a towel. Damn it, I forgot to bring a fresh change of clothes.. It's fine. Nothing much to see anyway The male secured the towel around his waist tightly after drying off the best he could. That's right, Andrew didn't care what others thought of him, so it didn't matter, right? Leaving the bathroom, he walked across the hall towards the bedroom, lightly tapping on the door. "I'm coming in, don't freak out. I just forgot a change of clothes" he mentioned before opening the door. "I swear, maybe I should have slept or something" the blonde said as he made his way over to his rolling suitcase to pick up a change of clothes. @Angel

Taylor shrugged her shoulders. “I don’t know. I think if you’re into him, you can be the one to show him not everyone is like that.” She suggested. Lukas thought for a moment. Could I get Andrew’s walls down? That seemed impossible. How could I even do that? It’s not like being loving is effective, considering this is all supposed to be fake.. He groaned a bit in frustration. “It’s all fake, and nothing is gonna change his mind, even if I did like-“ he cut himself off as Andrew’s voice came from the other side of the door. Lukas’ eyes widened a bit before he looked away, his face flushing red. The blonde was covered, but it was still.. unexpected. He respectfully kept his eyes off, while Taylor just looked at Lukas, tilting her head. He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye with a “Don’t say anything” look, while she just seemed to giggle. “Oh! Lu, could you make me a fruit salad? You left me out~” She whined. Lukas looked at the fruit then at her. “You can’t make your own?” He responded. She huffed and crossed her arms, making him roll his eyes. “Fine.” He stood up and made his way to the kitchen. Taylor turned to Andrew, not caring if he was in a towel or not. “He’s definitely into you. But he’s in denial.” She reported. I feel like an undercover spy! She smiled wide, giddy at the thought. @Sunfauna

Andrew's eyes fell on Lukas for a second as he seemed to be looking away from the blonde. How cute. Never seen a man without clothes? He definitely won't survive in an actual relationship he thought, completely zoning out of Lukas and Taylor talking. When he zoned back in, Taylor had spoken to him. "Denial? I mean.. we agreed that nothing would come of it" he said, pulling out a pair of black boxer briefs and slipped them on under the towel. "If we're both in a state of denial.. then I say leave it be. It's not like you can break down the walls cause mine are pretty thick I believe" The male removed the towel and set it down on the side of the bed as he fished about for his sweatpants. I say this but I'm still in a state of panic in here! So this confirms it? Lukas likes me? People always fall for me. It has to be my looks or something. I can just.. turn him down when the chance arrives. There was a pause in his thoughts after putting on the sweatpants and sitting on the bed. I can't do that though.. can I? Won't he be upset if I turn him down? No, I've turned down lots of people in the past. This shouldn't be any different! "Find out exactly what he likes about me.. If he starts rambling or something.. then I'll know" the male stood from his spot, taking the towel with him. "I need to fix this" he pointed to all of his hair before leaning over to grab his hygiene back and leave the room towards the bathroom. Why would I ask such a thing? I shouldn't care.. @Angel

Lukas was fairly quick in making Taylor’s salad before making his way back to the bedroom. He noticed Andrew was gone, which was a bit of a relief as he handed her the bowl before sitting and continuing to munch on his own. He looked at Taylor, who was staring at him. “What?” He asked before popping a strawberry slice into his mouth. “What do ya like about him?” Lukas groaned at the question. At first, he didn’t feel like entertaining her. But.. he couldn’t help but think about what he did like. He shrugged a bit, twirling a blueberry in his fingers. “I don’t know.. He’s strong headed, independent.. he’s a little stubborn but he can be caring if he needs to be. He’s silly but serious. Even if he doesn’t like something, he still works hard at it. He’s a lot different than other people I’ve met. He’s not selfish in the slightest.. I don’t know much about him, but learning more about him is definitely on my list.. even if it’s as friends..” He finally responded, not looking up until he’d noticed Taylor hadn’t responded for a moment. She was sitting, wide eyed. Lukas’ face flushed. “Don’t look at me like that. It doesn’t even matter, it’s all a show anyways. I probably just fell for lie anyways.” “So you did fall!” She yelled, jumping up. Lukas jumped up as well, slapping a hand over her mouth. “Would you not yell so loud?!” He said in a hushed whisper. “I told you, it didn’t matter. Why are you being so fucking pushy?” He let go of her mouth, giving her a gentle shove backwards a bit before storming out of the room. He needed a break, Taylor just didn’t know when to stop. Taylor just stood where she was, her eyes wide as she tried to process what had happened. Lukas had never laid a hand on her in their entire lives. By the time Andrew had returned, she was sitting back in the chair, quietly crying as she had felt bad, but also hurt. @Sunfauna

Andrew was in the bathroom, drying his hair and combing through the golden mane. There was a brief pause however when he heard Taylor's voice from the other room. He likes me after all.. his hand stopped combing for a few seconds before taking it out entirely and resting against the bathroom sink. "Dumbass" he said quietly. With that brief pause, he finished up and headed out of the bathroom and back towards the bedroom. "Geez, I heard your voice from the bathroom, that's quite a set of pipes on y-" he stopped, noticing Taylor sitting there, crying. "Hey.. did he hurt you? Did he hit you?" Andrew asked, standing in front of Taylor and getting down on his knees before her. "Look at me" he rested a hand gently on one of hers. "If he did, I'll beat his ass. I don't care. You guys are supposed to be best friends, right? I'll set him straight" That last sentence sounded almost like a promise as he rose from where he sat and headed out of the room. "Lukas!" he yelled, not caring who heard. "Where are you?" I shouldn't have made her do that. She ended up in the crossfire. This is why I don't do relationships anymore. Shit like this is what gets people hurt.. whether it's yourself or others.. A sigh escaped his lips as he looked over the railing at the top of the stairs. "I was the one who made her ask.. She was just.. helping me." the last few words fell quiet, not exactly having the courage to say them out loud. @Angel

Taylor sniffled as Andrew bent down in front of her. She hooked her head. “N-No, he didn’t hit me, just put his hand over his mouth but.. he’s just never done that… I think I was just too pushy..” she used her sleeves to wipe her face. Lukas was right, he was caring. “Don’t beat him up… not harshly at least.” She had mostly been joking. Lukas would never purposely lay a hand on her, he knew better. Meanwhile the brunette had just made it to the front door when he heard Andrew yell his name. He froze for a moment, looking at the top of the stairs before huffing and opening it, walking outside and letting it slam behind him. He needed a moment. A moment where he wasn’t faking something, a moment where Taylor wasn’t pushing him over and over about feelings he knew would disappear by this time next week. That’s what he told himself. These feelings are only happening because you’re pretending. You’re tricking your own brain. He made his way down to the stream that he and Andrew had been a couple nights before. It was the only place on the property he could think of, and where no one was was likely to be. He sat on the grass near the water, leaning over it a bit and looking at his own reflection. Maybe I should come clean.. @Sunfauna

The way that Lukas had ignored him, hurt a little but more so just ticked the blonde off. "I know she told me not to beat you too hard.. But I'm kind of wanting to now" he said to himself as he descended the stairs. I know he's going to be at that secret garden, but.. Do I have any right to invade when he wants space? Andrew stopped at the door, staring at the handle for a moment. He pissed me off, for sure.. and I should go beat the shit out of him. But who am I to talk when I can't even figure myself out? The blonde backed away from the door, turning around and making his way towards the stairs. One hand on the railing that gripped it tightly. Except that won't change the fact I'm pissed off right now.. The male pushed away from the stairs and towards the front door, opening it and stepping out. He headed towards the secret garden that he had been and noticed Lukas sitting on the grass. I have half a mind to push him into that water the male thought as he walked towards the other. "You know.. what I said is true. If you heard me" he started, taking a seat next to Lukas but about a foot or two away. "I was the one that told her to ask you about all that stuff. If you have someone to be angry at, be angry at me. Not her" he started, staring at the water. "Cause right now, you only have one best friend. Don't ruin what you have with her. You're lucky to have someone like her. I would if that were the case" It was a bit chilly out right now due to Andrew's lack of a shirt. But he didn't show it. "I heard what she said by the way. In fact.. I guess you could say that we were both using her to figure out the other.." There was a brief pause before Andrew turned to look at Lukas. "I know you like me. Or at least, think you do. And I know.. that I might be feeling the same. I'm not certain though.. Or rather.. maybe I'm afraid to feel anything at all.." The blonde turns so he is staring at the water again. "These walls I built to keep my feelings safe, whil

Lukas reached out, gently sliding his finger tip along the top of the water, making little ripples in it which in turn made his reflection wobble. It was so peacefully quiet, and he wasn’t surprised when that quiet was interrupted by the familiar voice of Andrew. “I didn’t hear you..” he mumbled, keeping his eyes on the water. “I’m not even angry, I just..” he sighed a bit. “Not with her at least. Or you.” He didn’t want to ruin what he and Taylor had. Their friendship meant more to him than she probably knew. He’d have to apologize later.. He was acting out of frustration and it wasn’t fair to her. Lukas’ shoulders visibly lifted a bit as he tensed when Andrew said he knew he liked him. “You don’t know. Because I don’t even know.” He said, his tone harsh, but that wasn’t intentional. “I don’t know what I’m feeling. The only reason I even said anything to her was because she said I have feelings for you. But I don’t even know what they’re supposed to feel like, or if what I’m feeling is just happening because of the whole fake relationship. It-It feels like there’s butterflies in my stomach when you do stuff like laugh or smile or hold my hand, and they threaten to climb out of my mouth and smother me and I don’t know what they mean. It’s confusing and I’ve never felt like this before.” He ranted for a moment, and by the end of it, he had began to play with his sleeves, pulling them over his hands. He was shaking, but he didn’t know if it was from the situation or the cold. He glanced over. His feelings are climbing out? He wondered what that meant, if that meant Andrew felt something for him. “But isn’t that because of what we’re doing? Won’t it go away when this is all over?” @Sunfauna

Andrew was silent even after hearing the questions. "I don't know.." Deep inside, he kind of didn't want it to go away. But from what Lukas was telling him, the way he described how he was feeling. That had to be infatuation. "The things you said, about butterflies.. that's a sign right there.." His eyes lifted to look at Lukas a moment, scooting over towards the male a little bit. "What you are feeling is love, Lukas" He can feel it, and yet mine is suppressed. Mine haven't reached the surface like his has.. Will they ever? "Maybe.. my heart wants to try to feel those things again. But.. I feel I'm also afraid to even allow it. I've only ever associated love with heartbreak. It hurts, truly.." Andrew took a breath, "But.. if I keep doing these things with you away from prying eyes.." he starts, his breathing shaky, "Like the kissing, hand holdling, cuddling.." his voice trailed softly and he paused. His hands balling into fists in his lap. "Then that has to mean.. something.. right?" 9 years was a long time to to try and heal a broken heart. He was afraid that getting into another would just reopen those wounds. Shatter his heart that was already being held together by shoddy sutures of time and pre-built walls. "Maybe.. there's a chance.. I might want to try again.." @Angel

Lukas felt like his heart was going to pound out of his chest. He couldn’t even look up at the other at this point. He was kind of … lost. Love? That’s what that feeling is? Those damn butterflies are because.. of love? “That.. can’t be right..” he mumbled, still staring into the water at himself. After so long, he was having feelings for someone? Just because he wasn’t looking at the blonde doesn’t mean he wasn’t listening. Even if his heart was beating loudly in his ears. Try again? “You mean..?” He finally looked up, his face red and his eyes wide. “Did Taylor put you up to this? Is she hiding waiting for me to agree and then you can both just laugh at me for thinking I could possibly fall in love with a big shot model?” Once again, his words came off harsh, and even if his walls weren’t as thick as the other male’s, he still had that fear. “I’m sorry.” He almost immediately apologized. Andrew wouldn’t do that to me.. Right? @Sunfauna

"Taylor had nothing to do with what I'm saying to you right now, Lukas" Andrew said firmly, staring at the other who wasn't looking at him at all. Andrew reached out a hand and forced the other to look him in the eyes. "I'm saying.. that my feelings are trapped. I.. am.. trapped.." he said the last words individually. "They are there, I know they are. But they're not coming out so easily like yours are.." 9 years of recovery and I still can't get over the betrayal. I need him to show me that I can trust him.. Though, the way Lukas had said what he said, it did kind of hurt a little bit. Did the other just see him as some famous model then? Someone who could get what he wants with coercion? No, he's just saying that cause he's upset, confused even.. "You know.. saying I'm some big-shot model is a bit hurtful.. You don't even know the reason why I took it up" he stated, glaring at the other but only for a few seconds. He pulled away from Lukas and sighed, pulling his knees up to his chest and wrapping his arms around them. "I don't like talking about it.." he paused, feeling his chest tighten. I can't say it. I can't bring myself to tell him the reason. This hurts just as much as the relationship thing.. "It hurts to talk about it actually.. nevermind.." There he went again, closing himself off. @Angel

Lukas gasped quietly as he was made to look at the other. His heart rate increased, a little caught off guard. “Trapped..?” He mumbled quietly. When Andrew let go, Lukas kept looking him. He felt like an ass, not just to Andrew but to Taylor. He needed to learn how to control his words when he was upset. Lukas scooted a little closer, closing the gap between them almost completely. “Andrew..” he said softly, hesitantly reached out, placing a hand on his arm, before sliding it down and gently grabbing a hold of his hand. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it that way, really.” He apologized again, looking at him as he tried to see his face. “Don’t shut me out please. I can’t make you trust me.. but you at least have to try to open up to let me try..” @Sunfauna

Andrew froze when he felt Lukas' hand on his own. He didn't pull away or anything, but it was unexpected. "Yeah, I feel trapped. Like.. I want to try and move on but I can't find the exit" he explains. "Kind of like.. a maze" That was probably the best way he could describe what he was feeling. At least to him that was the best descriptor. When Lukas started talking to Andrew, he remained quiet, not sure if he wanted to speak or stay silent. Inside, there was another instance that was hurting him. One he carried for years. One he blamed himself for that he would never forgive himself for. "You really want to know?" he asked, not looking at the male next to him. "I'll tell you then. I've never told this to anyone, in fact, I hate talking about it because it hurts too much.." There was a pause before he spoke again, "But since you're so adamant about it.." Andrew took a breath, trying to calm his heart that was already starting to break after thinking about it. "When I was 18, back in high school I didn't have any plans just yet. About what I wanted to do with my life. I thought about a few things, like possibly taking up gymnastics and being a teacher.." he paused, feeling that anxiety in his chest rise. "I was talking about this with my brother Mark. This was a few days before we were set to graduate together and jump into the big world" There was silence for a moment as Andrew gazed at the water, thinking about how to tell the rest of this story. "He said that I'd probably make a great teacher given how good at gymnastics I was. How hard I worked and the results that showed after.." "..It was also around the time I got scouted by the company I work for. They liked how I looked and said I'd be a great fit for their agency. I turned them down at first because I wasn't interested in that type of stuff. You know? Even if the money was great. But I took their business card out of curtesy" Another bit of silence as he ran his free hand along the blades of grass.

"This was also around the time.. when I caught my partner cheating.." That feeling in his chest tightened all the more, now in his throat. He was shaking right now as he tried to get the words out. "My partner was cheating on me with my brother, Mark.." There was a brief silence yet again, as the male tried to compose himself. But he was already feeling the pain in his heart seeping out. A shaky exhale came from the male as he continued, his voice uneasy as he spoke, "I was curious to know why my partner had been so distant lately and they wouldn't tell me. So I took it upon myself to find out why.. I had witnessed my partner at the time cheating on me with Mark." The tears now starting to form in his eyes were gently falling down his cheeks. "When graduation came around, I noticed that Mark wasn't in the ceremony. I hadn't talked to him since I saw him last. His seat which was next to mine had been empty. I had no clue until after the ceremony did I learn.. that Mark died. He killed himself. Simply because he couldn't bear the thought of knowing that I witnessed it with my own two eyes. He chose the easy way out.." The tears kept coming no matter how many times he tried to wipe them away. This heartbreak of his was too much, because he didn't lose just one person, he lost two. At the exact same time. Losing a partner to somebody else was one thing, but when that other person was your own brother? It hit home a lot harder.

"My family wasn't better off either, so having to deal with funeral expenses and stuff was something they couldn't do. So I took it upon myself after graduation to take up that modeling career I rejected because it paid more and was quicker than going through schooling for what I wanted to do. I paid off the expenses for my brother's funeral, burial, everything. Now, whenever I work I just send half the money I make to them as a way of apology and to make sure that I'm still alive. That they haven't lost their other son.. I've been doing it for 9 years now.." @Angel

Lukas felt like a major ass. His hand slowly gripped Andrew’s just a bit tighter while he respectfully listened to the whole story. I’m the first one he’s told..? Hearing this, that his dreams had been stopped due to something so.. tragic, absolutely broke Lukas’ heart for the blonde. When he’d started crying, Lukas pulled him closer into a hug. He was a little hesitant, but he ran his hand through his hair at an attempt to comfort. That was the first thing on his mind, comforting him. He couldn’t imagine going through what he had.. 2 losses in one swoop just like that? “Holy fuck, Andrew..” he mumbled, holding him as tight as he could. After a moment, he pulled back to look at him. “Andrew, is there anything I can do?” He pushed the hair from his face as silver eyes locked with hazel ones. “I mean it, if it takes asking my mom for a favor, to send them money so you don’t have to do something you don’t want to, I will.” What was he saying? Maybe he was in love.. he didn’t see himself doing this for anyone else. “I promise, I’m here. And I know we haven’t known each other a crazy amount of time but.. I could never do that to you..” @Sunfauna

Feeling the brunette pull him into a hug caused the blonde to completely break down. He couldn't keep it together anymore after trying so hard to get through the story. He never told anyone about it because he didn't need people to worry for him. But after being with Lukas the past few days it was really setting in, the feelings he was having. The trust he was searching for. The fingers running through his hair did help calm the blonde down somewhat, but it hurt still. It was like that wound on his heart had opened up again. Hearing Lukas mention his family sending money instead, Andrew sat up quickly, gripping Lukas' wrist. "No" he stated in a serious tone. "S-Sorry.." he let go of Lukas wrist after realizing that what he said and did could have come off harsh. "I don't need you to do that. Honestly. My family growing up wasn't in the best of conditions to be fair. I wanted to send money to them to help them out, after all they did for me and my brother.." A sigh escaped his lips as he rubbed his now puffy red eyes. "Don't tell anybody about this, please. Not even Taylor. I don't want anyone to be feeling sorry about any of this. Okay?" To think I allowed myself to feel so weak in front of him. I wonder what he thinks of me now knowing what I told him.. "But.. now you kind of know why I'm so guarded. Why I don't know how to feel about us. The struggle I'm having. I know that I want to, but my walls are just keeping my feelings in. It's going to take more time for me. Is that.. okay?" @Angel

Lukas flinched and tensed up a bit as his wrist was grabbed purely out of instinct, but almost immediately he relaxed. He knew Andrew didn’t mean it. “Sorry.” He said softly. His face dropped a bit, understanding but still a little sad that Andrew didn’t take the help. Slowly, he let go. “I won’t tell anyone. You have my promise.” He turned back towards the water, looking down at his reflection again. No wonder his walls are so thick.. that’s.. insane.. If anything, Lukas sort of admired the blonde for what he was doing. He was working somewhere he didn’t care for, making money to send back to his family to help them and act as a thank you for raising him. So the brunette definitely thought higher of him than he’d ever before. “That’s okay.” He replied softly. In all honesty, he was a bit hurt. But he wasn’t sure why. He was still trying to convince himself this was all fake. But even Andrew said the feelings he’d explained were love.. But in this moment, even with Andrew’s explanation, Lukas couldn’t help but feel like it was one sided, and that he’d be a laughing stock again for thinking he had a chance. Once again, he found himself fiddling with his shirt sleeves, watching the fish in the water. @Sunfauna

Despite Lukas saying that it was okay, Andrew had a feeling that it wasn't. The way the other was messing with his sleeves, it was a tick for sure. Something the other did when they were thinking. Andrew had always noticed it but never said anything. Until now. "You're thinking.. aren't you?" he spoke, turning his gaze to the brunette. "You mess with your sleeves when you do.." The blonde sat there in silence, trying to think of what to say. "I'm not.. rejecting you out right.. If that's what you're thinking.. I want to move on. But it's just going to take a bit for me to do so.." He inhaled, trying to calm his heart that still ached, and was beating rather quickly. "So.. will you help me?" Andrew never asked for help. He was independent through and through. But with something like this, if Lukas chose not to help, then Andrew would certainly remain the way he has been: a broken mess on the inside while trying to play off that everything was fine. "I don't want you to think of me any different, okay? I know that we said that this whole relationship thing is fake.. but clearly that isn't working too well, huh?" he tried to smile. "You like me, and I want to return the feelings. Obviously they're stuck.. so.. if you have the patience.. help coax them a bit?" he shrugged his shoulders. "Unless you've given up.." that last bit was more a jab at Lukas. It was said in a joking manner of course. Teasing even. The way he expressed love was through teasing. Even if his emotions were stuck, it didn't mean they didn't still trickle out. There would always be bits of emotion, just not full on gushing out like they were supposed to. @Angel

Lukas glanced up as Andrew questioned him. At first, he wasn’t sure how he knew, but then he told him what had ticked him off. His face flushed a bit in embarrassment. “Oh..” he said softly, looking down at his sleeves, that he’d stopped playing with. He didn’t notice half the time when he’d done it himself. He let the silence sink in before speaking. “I know you’re not rejecting me. I’m just.. scared..” he said, shrugging. There was so much to process and think about. “Will you help me?” That sentence made Lukas’ eyes widen a bit before he looked at the other. He was asking.. for help? Now Lukas knew he was being sincere. “But..” the brunette started. He didn’t take his eyes off Andrew, but he was visibly nervous. “I .. I don’t know what I’m doing.. how could I coax them out if I have no idea what I’m doing..?” Does this mean it’s not fake anymore? I didn’t know how to fake it, what am I supposed to do for real? The teasing also caught him off guard. It was definitely a mood shift, but it didn’t fail to make Lukas giggle. “I don’t give up so easily.” A hesitant hand found itself reaching for Andrew’s again. Do I kiss him? Hug him? What do I do if it’s supposed to be real? @Sunfauna

"It's alright to be scared" Andrew said softly. "Falling in love without knowing how it's going to end is probably a lot scarier than a horror movie.." he paused, thinking. "Remember when we went to the roller rink earlier? How I was scared to even attempt to get on the rink? You were guiding me, and I was trusting you, and we were both having fun for a bit" he explained. "Love is like that. Trusting and loving someone and having fun along the way.." God, is that a good analogy? Maybe not the best, but it'll have to do now that I said it "I would think that I am trusting you a bit more now.. and that I am having fun whenever we hang out.." he started to say, trying to word things carefully. "If we keep doing that, regardless about the fake relationship bullshit we are doing now.. I think the end result is what really matters. The actions we did before that were considered fake? Just ignore that. Let them be real. Whatever you want to do in the moment, let it happen. Because that's you acting on your feelings" The best way he could describe it honestly. Just act on what you feel is right. "So if you just wanna kiss, cuddle, whatever. Do it. Because that's showing affection. I think that.. if I'm exposed to it enough and hang out with you more, it'll help with my walls. Exposure Therapy, basically" Andrew stared at Lukas a moment, hearing that giggle from him after he made that teasing remark certainly made his heart skip a beat. Even if it was just for a second. "Good. Come here, I wanna give you something as a thank you for listening to me, and an apology for making you mad earlier" he said softly, raising a hand to gently pull the other closer and let his lips press against the other's. The kiss was gentle, sincere and lasted for a little bit before he began to pull away. @Angel

Lukas glanced back down to the water as Andrew spoke. What he said made sense. They had to guide and trust eachother, having fun along the way. “I trust you.” He admitted. The fish in the water were orange and white, some were black, and some were just white. They were all pretty to look at as they swam around. He kind of wished he was that carefree, just swimming. Acting on my feelings? Just.. doing whatever? Lukas was still unsure. Still uneasy. From now on.. everything was real. It sounded like his heart was beating in his ears so loud he felt like it was in his head. Silver eyes moved back up to meet the hazel ones. “Hm..?” he hummed, letting Andrew pull him close. His heart rate picked up and his face flushed red as their lips met. This kiss was different for him. It felt like the butterflies had exploded from his chest. Fireworks were going off in his head. When it ended, he found himself a little disappointed, but in the fact that it didn’t last longer. Lukas stayed mere inches from Andrew’s face. “If we’re apologizing, I owe you one too..” he mumbled before closing the gap again with another kiss. He put one hand on Andrew’s cheek as their lips moved together in perfect sync. You’d think the brunette had kissed before, but Andrew was his first real kiss. Both with the fake one and the one before this. When Lukas finally pulled away again, he opened his eyes to look at the other. “I’ll wait for you. I can be patient.” He smiled a bit. The sound of faint thunder rolled in from the distance. Looking up, Lukas noticed that dark angry clouds had rolled in, and he blinked a couple times before saying, “I didn’t know it was gonna storm today.” And as if the clouds heard him, an almost immediate downpour started, soaking both the boys. Lukas quickly stood. “Ah man-“ he huffed before grabbing Andrew’s hand. “Cmon-“ @Sunfauna

The kiss that Andrew had given was what he expected to be the only one. But the moment Lukas said he would apologize too, the kiss he gave the blonde made his face flushed. In fact, Andrew almost melted right there, wishing for more. But that cute little romantic moment of there's was swiftly grabbed by the balls with a unexpected downpour.. The rain had come out of nowhere, and it certainly shocked the blonde with such cold water. "Holy shit!" he gasped, standing up only for Lukas to grab his hand and lead him back inside the house. "I just showered, man.." he laughed. "Damn it.. It takes forever to dry my hair.. Are you sure I shouldn't cut it?" he looked to Lukas, that smile on his face. It came out of nowhere, but.. I'm not mad like I normally would be. Strange "God, it feels so much colder without a shirt" he admits, a faint smile on his face. "If I had know it was going to rain, I wouldn't have walked out like this.." @Angel

Lukas ran as quickly as he could while dragging the blonde behind him to the house. When they finally got inside, he let go, putting his hands on his thighs as he panted to catch his breath. He was soaked, dripping water on the floor. He looked up to the other before laughing with him. “I mean, you could. But it suits you. I’ll help you dry it.” His last sentence had a bit of a teasing tone to it, prompting another small laugh from the brunette. Once he caught his breath, he stood up straight. A maid had seen them come in and brought them towels. “Thank Amelie.” Lukas addressed her by name to which she smiled before nodding her head and walking away. Lukas turned to hand one to Andrew, and that’s when he caught a glimpse of something. Just a bit over his shoulder. His eyes widened and he unintentionally made Andrew turn around quite unexpectedly. “You have a tattoo-?!” He yelled rather loudly, caught by surprise. It was a gorgeous piece of art, with a koi fish surrounded by flowers. Without thinking about, he reached out to gently run a finger along the koi’s spine. “It’s so pretty..” he mumbled. It fit Andrew well, to Lukas at least. “You just get more interesting the more I know you.” He spoke his thoughts aloud before handing the other boy the towel in his hand then began drying himself off. @Sunfauna

Andrew gave a simple nod of his head when Lukas offered to help dry it. "I appreciate it, but you don't have to do that" he started to say, watching as a maid came by with towels. The way Lukas addressed her had made him curious. Just as he was about to say something, Lukas' exclamation about something caught the other by surprise. The blonde was turned around, with his hair moved out of the way to display a hidden tattoo. It was one he normally kept hidden. A brilliant, colorful Koi Fish surrounded by Flora. Lotus flowers that seemed closer to black and white. Similar to the water. When he felt Lukas' unexpected fingers run along his spine where the koi was, he shivered. "Well, I usually hide it. Nobody knows it's there despite being in plain sight. Plus.. I don't take my shirt off so it hides a lot better.." he tells the other. This tattoo was the first and only one he had. It was a decently sized one too. "I.. I got it with my paycheck when I first started out modeling.." he tells the other, using the towel to begin drying his now soaked hair. "This was before I decided to split the money for my parents" Andrew, at 18 had gotten himself this tattoo as a type of remembrance for his brother. It also had another meaning. "The koi and Lotus actually represent growth and overcoming struggles.." he starts, turning around so he could face Lukas now. "Lotus flowers grow from the mud despite being absolutely gorgeous flowers; Koi have been known to swim upstream. Did you know that? The way the koi is facing in a tattoo also tells what type of tattoo it is." He paused a second before talking again. "This one is facing up, like upstream. So it tells a person 'I'm going through some shit' where if it was facing downwards, it would say 'I have overcome that shit' you know?" @Angel

Lukas looked up at the other when he’d turned around. His face was still a bit red from the kisses they’d shared, as well as running all the way home. “I didn’t know that - that’s.. so cool.” He smiled, finishing drying his hair before taking his shoes and socks off. “I think it suits you well. The tattoo.” He added before making his way upstairs and to his bedroom. Taylor wasn’t in there anymore. That’s when he remembered what had happened. Shit. I need to apologize. But first, clothes. He glanced back to look at Andrew, a bit of concern evident on his face. He grabbed clothes out of his suitcase before rushing to the bathroom to change. Once he was changed, he went back to his bedroom to see if Andrew had changed. A clash of thunder outside made him tense a bit. I forgot it’s storming.. He ran a hand through the still soaked dark mop on his head before looking at Andrew again. “What do I do? I didn’t mean to hurt her, I..” he didn’t know where she was. She couldn’t have gone far right? She wouldn’t leave? @Sunfauna

Andrew followed the other up the stairs, while working on his hair trying to dry it the best he could with the towel given to him. "I don't know about cool. It's interesting to say the least" he replied as the pair made it up the stairs and back towards Lukas' room where Taylor was indeed not in there anymore. Last Andrew had seen her, she seemed heartbroken. The male stood there, absent mindedly drying his hair even though it wasn't going to get any dryer with the towel that was now wet. She was upset earlier.. Said she was too pushy, that Lukas had put his hands on her.. Maybe.. An idea came to mind and he turned to see the brunette walking back into the room with a change of clothes on now. "Lukas, is there somewhere in the house you don't go to? A place you dislike?" he asked. "Chances are, she is trying to give you space. But, if you truly care about her, try and search there?" Andrew didn't know what place in the house Lukas disliked the most. A place he never wanted to be. "I'm gonna go dry these clothes off, cause I don't feel like changing again" he sighed, walking past the brunette and towards the bathroom. "I need to fix my hair too, damn it.." he grumbled before grabbing the blow dryer and beginning on his clothes. @Angel

Lukas started to fidget with his sleeves as he tried to think of where she could have gone. The family room maybe? He could check there.. or maybe she decided to go help make Thanksgiving dinner.. he was nervous. He felt so guilty about hurting her feelings. She was just trying to help. Andrew caught his attention, and to answer his question.. he shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t think… so..” he trailed off, as he realized where she could be. “Okay, I’ll be back. Hopefully with Taylor.” He let Andrew out of the room before walking out himself and down the hallway. It wasn’t far. When he got to the closet door, he stopped. This damn closet. Stop being a child and just go in there. He scolded himself, yet his feet refused to move. He felt 7 again, staring at the closet as he could’ve sworn he heard the dragging of claws on the door on the other side. Monsters, ghosts, you name it, he thought it was in there. Now, did he think that now? Of course not. But that deep routed anxiety stopped him everytime. Finally, he took a deep breath and walked up, opening the door. Inside, he found Taylor, sitting on the floor while scrolling on her phone. She had finished crying, but her puffy eyes and tear stained face didn’t hide the evidence. Lukas’ face softened as he walked in, closing the door. “Lu, what’re you..?” Taylor looked confused as Lukas sat beside her. “Lu, you hate it in here.” “I know.” He responded. “But, you’re in here. Because of me.” He wrapped an arm around her shoulders. “And I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have yelled at you or put my hands on you. I was just.. so overwhelmed.” Taylor couldn’t help but smile a bit. “I’m sorry too. I should’ve been less pushy about everything.” Lukas also smiled. “I guess it ended up working out anyways. Our fake relationship isn’t so fake anymore..” Taylor’s eyes widened as she sat up excitedly. “No way!” Lukas couldn’t help but giggle with her. “Now I gotta see Andrew,” she said, grabbing his hand as they got up. Thank god

Andrew was in the bathroom, blow drying his sweatpants that had gotten wet from the sudden storm outside. Thankfully it didn't take too terribly long. Slipping the pants back on, he worked on his hair, combing it out as he went to make sure that it didn't get tangled. Once he was sure he'd gotten most of the water out of his hair, he went ahead to tie it up in that bun of his. "Okay, about as good as it gets I guess. Time for a shirt.." The male exited the bathroom and headed into the bedroom, not seeing Lukas or Taylor in there yet. "Hm, I wonder if he found her.." he started to say, going over to his suitcase and picking out a dark blue baseball t-shirt. Just as he was about to slip it on, he heard the sound of rushing footsteps. The male was surprised at how fast the two had made it here. "Christ, you good?" he asked, the shirt in his hands as he looked the two over. "I see you found your other half" he comments to Lukas. "Did you guys make up?" @Angel

Taylor had basically drug Lukas the entire way, and he could barely keep up as she did. They stumbled into the room, where Taylor let go. Lukas couldn’t stop his momentum, falling onto the floor on his knees for a moment. “Fuck, Taylor-“ he couldn’t get his sentence out before Taylor ran up to Andrew. She was basically bouncing off the walls. “So it’s official?” She said excitedly, grabbing his hand as she jumped. “You and Lu?” She clarified, as if she needed to. “He came to the closet for me! And he said my pushing paid off!” She said the first part as if Andrew would know the significance of it. @Sunfauna

The male stared at the two for a moment, watching as Lukas was nearly flung onto the floor. She's a firecracker.. shit.. he thought to himself. "H-Hey.. slow down now.." he started to say but it seemed that Taylor was more excited about it than he thought. "Well.. kind of. I didn't reject him, but my feelings are going to take time.." he told her, reaching down and extending a hand towards Lukas to help him up. "Theyr'e not 100% there, but they are there.. just.. slowly.. I guess?" What would be the best way to describe it? "Exposure Therapy.. Best way I can describe it to ya" he admits, going ahead to put on his shirt now. There we go, I feel warmer already.. he sighed in relief. Andrew took a seat on the bed, looking at the two for a bit. He was a bit confused on the whole closet thing but he shrugged it off. "So, are we all good now?" @Angel

Lukas’ face flushed a bit, anxious that Andrew would question the whole closet situation, but thankfully he didn’t. He took his hand when it was offered, standing up then joining him on the bed. Taylor seemed to calm down a bit as she tilted her head. “That makes sense. So you’re… not official? You’re just.. in like, the talking stage?” She acted as though she couldn’t quite make sense of it. Lukas shrugged. “I tried to tell you more, but you jumped up and ran out before I could.” Taylor’s face flushed a bit in embarrassment. “Sorry.” She sat back in the desk chair, grabbing the bowl of the fruit salad from earlier. It looked fine still, so she started eating it again. You wouldn’t know she was crying just 10 minutes ago looking at her now. “Besides,” she said, “It was better to get out of the closet before you flipped your shit anyways.” She shrugged, popping a strawberry in her mouth. Lukas eyed her with a Shut up, dude expression on his face. Her eyes widened. “Oh!” She exclaimed. “He doesn’t know, I’m sorry.” She didn’t know how to take a hint, did she? The brunette pinched the bridge of his nose as he sighed. She never knows when to stop talking. @Sunfauna

Andrew didn't know what to make of the situation right now. Was it good, bad? Weird. That felt like a better descriptor for it. "Well.. I'm not going to ask about the whole closet thing.. unless Lukas wants to talk about it. But.." he glanced at the other. "I'll just ignore it.. and continue with what we were already discussing.." A sigh from him as he adjusted himself on the bed. "When I said Exposure Therapy, I meant it. Now.. Lukas knows why, and I prefer to keep it that way. So.. don't try and delve too deep into it. Okay?" he said to Taylor. "Basically, I'm a mess. Closed off for too many years. What I realized.. is that I do have feelings, but they're stuck. Kind of like.. a pipe I guess?" That was a good analogy. "Like.. you know how water runs through a pipe? Sometimes stuff gets stuck in the pipe and the water flow is minimal? It's like that.." He took a glance at Lukas for a moment and then back to Taylor. "So, we are going to try the keyword being 'try' to fix that. So the feelings are real now, yes. But it's also a way for me to get those feelings back. It's also a good way for Lukas to better understand an actual relationship. Right?" he patted the other on the knee. "Nice easy way to do things" @Angel

Taylor nodded as Andrew explained. “Ohhh.. okay.. that makes sense. So you’re like.. trying eachother out?” She said, her face still filled with confusion. She put her hands up. “It’s fine, I won’t pry into why your feelings are so locked up.” Lukas smiled. She at least wouldn’t be pushy about that… He glanced at the blonde out of the corner of his eye, his cheeks turning pink as he did. He liked his hair up, it was pretty. He wondered if he could try and braid it at one point.. “Right.” Lukas nodded. Taylor nodded as she stood. “Well, I’ll let you guys get to that. I want more fruit.” She smiled at the two before leaving the room. Lukas sighed softly before flopping back on the bed and stretching. @Sunfauna

Well, my explanation isn't the best it seems.. but she kind of understands what I'm saying at least.. the blonde thought as he leaned back on his hands. "Trying each other out? You make it sound like I'm using him for some ulterior motive.." he says rather coldly. Though I'm probably the only one thinking that. I really should sleep.. before my mind hits the gutter Once Taylor had left, he felt the bed shift slightly as Lukas fell back onto it. Andrew joined him, staring up at the ceiling. Despite staring for a bit in silence, the male's eyes did start to get heavy once again as he listened to the sound of the storm raging on outside. Before he knew it, Andrew had drifted off to sleep finally without saying a word. Laying on his back sideways on the bed with his upper half laying on the bed and the lower half still hanging off the bed, feet resting on the floor. He felt like he could sleep now that he wasn't worrying so much. All that stress and anxiety was slowly being lifted away after earlier's events. Maybe he'd have a chance at starting over after all. @Angel

Lukas just stared at the ceiling, but couldn’t seem to relax. Taylor’s wording had ticked him off too - but in the opposite direction. Try me on? Why had she used that wording? He was sure she didn’t mean it but.. He glanced over to Andrew, who had fallen asleep. Would he be using me..? The thought made him nervous. Would he be used and laughed at again? Andrew said he wouldn’t, but that anxiety and fear was reemerging. Lukas sat up slowly and sighed, running a hand through his hair to get it out of his face. This was going to take patience. How could he expect Andrew to put his walls down if he couldn’t even do it..? After a moment, he looked back at the other and decided to let him sleep before standing up and making his way out of the room. It was good timing, seeing as once he made it to the foyer, he was met with his family starting to arrive. His aunt Chrissy and Uncle Tate, his grandma and grandpa, and his 2 cousins who were twins - Jay and Wes. Chrissy was about as old as his mother, with the same features as her too - since they were sisters. His uncle was tall and lanky with black hair and a beard. His cousins were identical, both blonde like their mother but had their fathers figure. Immediately upon seeing him, the twins began questioning him about his new boyfriend, how they’d met, where he was, and when they’d meet him. Of course, overwhelming as always. @Sunfauna

Andrew had drifted off to sleep finally, but it wouldn't be for too long. He insisted to himself that it would be a short nap, despite being sleep deprived, it was thanksgiving so he needed to make sure he was at the top of his game for the evening. Today will be fine. You're not faking the relationship anymore. But is it still a relationship? Are you just using the other to get out of a slump and back into the world again? No, why would I do such a thing? I know what it's like to be toyed with, why would I do that to him? His thoughts were wandering as he slept. Almost twisting images in his head. Not quite dreams, but enough to make his thoughts visible. Your emotions are just stuck, you care for the other. You want to express yourself to him. To return the feelings that have been absent for so damn long. Every single one.. Wait, every single one? Even those ones? Andrew rolled over in his sleep, laying on his stomach now. It has been a while since I've done that.. but there's no way I would subject him to such a thing when I can't even figure myself out. I like him. A lot. I want to show it in every possible way. But I need him. I asked him for help. I never do that. So.. I just have to trust him. I have to trust him and wait. That's all I can do right now The blonde felt himself slipping off the bed and in turn, fell off completely onto the floor. It woke him up, causing the male to groan as he sat up on the floor. "Shit.. how long was I out for?" he mumbled before getting up. Looking at the clock, it must have been at least an hour or two. Looking around the room he didn't see Lukas or Taylor anywhere. Were they out and around the house? With a deep breath, Andrew left the room, exhaling as he made his way to the stairs, looking around below. He could hear voices somewhere, one that he honed in on was Lukas' so he followed it. @Angel

Lukas and his family had made their way into the family room. Lily was already in there, turning on Jurassic World. Such a corny movie.. Lukas flopped on the couch with everyone else to watch it while dinner was being finished up. There had been a couple of times when he had wanted to check on Andrew, but his cousins had kept him occupied. They’d brought their switches, and while they took turns racing eachother in Mario Kart, their parents had conversed with eachother. When Andrew entered the room, it seemed like everyone stopped all at once and looked at him. Oh shit- Lukas stood up almost immediately and made his way over to him. He knew how overwhelming his family could be, so he wanted to be them to the other. Maybe keep them calm. “Guys- this is Andrew..” he hesitated before wrapping himself around his arm. Even that felt different than it had before.. more real.. for a moment, everyone just looked before his aunt smiled big. “Welcome to the family, Andrew!” She had a sweet voice, high pitched but sweet. Jay and Wes did just as they did to Lukas, getting up and walking over to the couple to bombard them with questions. “How’d you meet? How long have you been dating? How’d Lukas manage to get with you?” The questions they’d heard before. Lukas sighed. “This is Jay, and that’s Wes. They’re identical so don’t feel bad if you can’t tell them apart.” @Sunfauna

The sight of so many new faces in the family room certainly felt overwhelming, that was for sure. But, despite the staring it didn't seem too bad. I forgot it was Thanksgiving.. and I come down looking like I've been living in my apartment all weekend.. great first impression he thought to himself. Though when a woman's voice spoke up, her words seemed to have caught the male by surprises. Welcome.. to the family? Hearing it made his heart skip a few beats but also ache a bit with pain. She says it so confidently while I'm struggling with myself.. Can I really call myself part of the family? No, I made my choice and I have to go through with it. If I back out now, I won't change.. Though, feeling Lukas' wrap around his arm did relax him a bit. The tense muscles from earlier were starting to ease up when next to Lukas. Then the sight of two kids running up took up his attention. Twins by the looks of it. Jay and Wes? They do look very much identical.. he thought, glancing at Lukas for a second and then back at the kids who were asking such sporadic questions. "We.. met on the Subway.." he started to say, answering one question. "We.. have only been dating for a short amount of time.." Who knew kids could get so invasive. At least these questions are easy to answer. Though the last one was one that he didn't know how to answer. How did Lukas manage to with him? Why? Am I that good looking? Is the looks between us so different? Is it cause I'm a model? Is that what they're asking? "I.." he started to say, but went quiet. The arm that Lukas had been holding tensed slightly as he raised that hand to reach up and take Lukas' hand into his own. Their entwined hands now at their sides. Andrew squeezed Lukas' hand for a moment. He had that little bit of courage but didn't know how to answer the question. Maybe a simple answer would work? "Cause we like each other" @Angel

Lukas could see the uneasiness of the other, so he tried his best to help him. While hugging his arm, he was tracing small circles with his thumb. When he felt Andrew’s muscles relax, he smiled a bit. See? We’re okay. You’re doing fine. He encouraged the blonde silently. “Guys, you don’t need to swarm him with questions, we have all night, okay?” He asked. The two boys glanced at Lukas then at each other, before ignoring him entirely to look at Andrew. Andrew’s hesitance on their last question made Lukas shift a little. He had let go of his arm by now, seeing Andrew was okay. When Lily had asked that same question How did Lukas manage to land you? It didn’t seem like that big of a deal. But now.. the twins asking it was throwing his thoughts into hysteria. Why is that the first thing everyone asks? Is he that far out of my league? Going from being called a pretty boy growing up to being doubted like this was jarring. And it only stirred those thoughts up again.. the ones that insisted Andrew was using him, that he was going to fall face first into the mud and be laughed at all over again. He very nearly started to play with his sleeves, but the feeling of the others hand kept him from doing so. He held onto it rather tightly, his eyes gazed down, just waiting for the twins to be done. At Andrew’s answer, they seemed satisfied and returned to the couch. Finally, Lukas was able to pull Andrew to the couch and have him sit down with everyone. Chrissy smiled at Andrew again. “Judith tells me you’re Lukas’ hero.~” @Sunfauna

When the twins were satisfied with the blonde's simple answer, he relaxed some more. It was a lot harder when this wasn't a fake relationship anymore. This was the real deal. All emotions he normally would suppress are now biting at his throat. The anxiety was unnerving but he hung tough. Lukas had started to pull Andrew towards the couch, having the two seated next to each other. Just as he was about to relax, he heard that woman again speak. This time, she mentioned him saving Lukas. The male was silent, yet his heart was beating like crazy. "Y-Yeah. We met.. on the Subway train.. and he was getting harassed by a guy.." he started to say. "Nobody wanted to help, so I intervened.. No big deal" he said, avoiding eye contact and instead focusing on the movie playing on the tv. I need to calm down. I don't care what others think of me. I shouldn't. But why.. Why do these questions that I've heard and answered before becoming so difficult all of a sudden? Why can't I just be strong.. like before.. I need to. I have to. I have to be strong. Ignore the anxiety and just.. be.. yourself. But when he was about to attempt to, he faltered and stayed silent. @Angel

Lukas looked at his aunt and then to Andrew. Something was off.. Was his him? Lukas’ chest tightened, feeling a bit guilty. Had he messed things up? Andrew needed help, but how could he do that? Lukas shifted a bit to wear he was leaning against the blonde, and he kept a hold of his hand, rubbing small circles into the back of it. When Andrew seemed to falter and hesitate, Lukas picked it up with no problem. “Yeah, it was great.. I think things would’ve went really south if it weren’t for Andrew, so I’m glad we met.” He gave the other a reassuring squeeze. Chrissy giggled at the story. “That’s so sweet!” The real hero in this moment seemed to be Lily, who’d had enough of everyone talking and gave a harsh “Shhhhh.” No more questions. Good. Everyone fell silent as their attentions were directed to the movie. Lukas watched it for a moment before turning his head to look at the other. “Are you okay?” He whispered, just barely loud enough for him to hear. The thunder continued to boom outside, with the rain hitting the windows and doors so hard it sounded like a hurricane almost. “Do you need a break..?” @Sunfauna

Andrew Bishop BOT 03/21/2024 02:11
Feeling the other lean against him did help somewhat. Along with the the little circles rubbed on the back of his hand. When he thought that he had messed up by faltering, Lukas had stepped in to help. It was like a weight was lifted from his shoulders, and he relaxed considerably. Maybe I can't be strong right now.. he thought. Those thoughts however diminished a little when he heard Lukas whispering to him. Thankfully the questions had stopped so it gave the blonde some time. "I don't know" he answered quietly. "I don't know why I'm like this.. I used to be stronger. Stuff like this didn't bother me and now.. It's like I'm trying to vie for approval.." Am I really too much for Lukas? I'm a model for crying out loud. Good looks are nice to have but when they get pointed out so much.. it's like that's all they see. They throw me up on a pedestal and I don't want to be up there.. I want to be on the ground with the rest of them. With Lukas.. The sound of the wind and rain roaring outside was quite scary. Especially with the thunder roaring mighty in the sky. Flashes of lightning illuminating the outside with bright light. Everything was fine and then.. the lights went out. Complete and utter darkness. @Angel

Lukas tilted his head as Andrew answered him. “You are strong though. And their approval doesn’t matter.” Lukas responded before leaning back against Andrew’s chest again. “I approve of you.” He added, still watching the screen as the dinosaurs started escaping their habitats. Besides, his family already liked him plenty, couldn’t the other see that? Lukas thought it was obvious… Then suddenly, in a single second, everything went pitch black. Lukas’ eyes widened as they tried to adjust and he immediately sat up, losing complete contact with Andrew. Taylor and Lily both screamed, expected, but still obnoxious. Judith couldn’t see, but she still tried to get up. “Alright alright, let me see if I can find some candles.. Lukas, help me out, hun.” Lukas looked in the general direction that he could hear his mom, and even though he couldn’t see her, he tried his best. He felt his way off the couch. His eyes still weren’t adjusted very well. The most he could see was when lightning would flash every now and then. Lukas attempted to make his way out of the family room, planning on grabbing a candle from the closet in the foyer. Even this part of the house was dark, and he attempted to stay along the wall in search of the closet. It should be here somewhere.. The whole time, he tried to focus on this task, but slowly, the anxieties and fears he’d had as a kid were rising in him. He’d never been a fan of the dark, and even though it was childish, he found it hard to not be scared of it. What could be hiding in it. Being suffocated by it. A few moments passed. It seemed like he’d lost himself entirely in just the one room. Now almost completely lost in the darkness, he started to panic a bit. Was he even going the right way? He was sure the closet would be right there! He kept moving along and finally, his hand landed on it. He opened it and went to step in, but at this point, he couldn’t focus anymore. He kept looking over his shoulder to find nothing but pitch black.

The moment the lights went out, and the screaming from the two females started, Andrew knew that the power was out. Guess the storm must have knocked over a powerline or something out there. Great. Once Lukas had left the couch to help his mother, Andrew stayed seated, not sure what he could really do to help out. It wasn't like he'd lived here or anything so he had no clue where anything was to even assist. Unfortunately his phone was upstairs in the bedroom, so he couldn't just climb upstairs and get it. Chances are he'd trip and fall in the process. Best to wait then. At least, that was the plan until he heard Lukas starting to panic. Andrew got up immediately and started to make his way towards the noise, focusing on Lukas. "Lukas? Lukas?!" he called out, his hands resting on what felt like a door. Then his foot lightly tapped something and a hand lowered from the door to rest on what felt like hair. Lukas' head. "Hey.. come here" he whispered, pulling the other into a hug. He buried his face into the side of Lukas' neck, staying like that for a bit before pulling away slightly to speak. "You're okay, promise. It's just my dumbass.. Are the candles in here? I assume this is a closet.. I can't see" he said, resting a hand on the closet door. How was he to do this? Clearly it seemed that Lukas wasn't a fan of the dark by any means. Alright, time to do it this way then. The blonde stood up, making sure to get Lukas to stand as well, even forcing him if he had to. "Come on, up.. up.. Wrap your arms here.." he guided the male's arms so they hugged his waist. "Just move with me, okay? We'll get light soon" Andrew moved a bit so he could open the door, and stepped inside with the other clinging to him like a koala. "Where do you guys keep em in here? If you remember, tell me." @Angel

Lukas couldn’t even think about the candles anymore. He slowly sank against the wall in the closet, trying to regulate his breathing. Why are you such a child? He mocked himself in his head, trying to make himself snap out of it. Just get up and find the candles, get up. Get up. GET- A sudden feeling of something against him made him jump and yell out quietly, before he recognized Andrew’s voice. A sense of relief almost immediately washed over him as he was pulled in. He wrapped his arms around the other tight, as if something would drag him away. He was shaking like a leaf, and he didn’t even wanna get up when Andrew stood and made him stand with him. “I.. I think they’re on the second shelf. There should be a couple and-and a lighter.” Even his voice was shaky as he clung onto the taller male, still trying to look around as if his eyes would magically adjust. Even though Andrew couldn’t see it, Lukas could feel his cheeks heating up out of embarrassment. Once Andrew found the candles and lit one, Lukas seemed to relax more, now able to see at least a little bit around them as well as being able to see the blonde boy in front of him, which was nice. @Sunfauna

It was true, the brunette was indeed shaking like crazy. As if the dark was the scariest thing in the world. It wasn't the dark per se that was scary, more like the unknown? Not knowing what's out there was pretty scary in and of itself. Andrew had dealt with plenty of blackouts at his apartment before. Electrical issues and storms alike. Andrew used Lukas' words as a guide as he reached around on one of the top shelves, probably one of the best perks to being tall. Reaching shit. Andrew found the candles, taking one and using the lighter nearby to light it. It illuminated the pair a fair bit, but it wasn't anything great. Still, it was better than nothing and it seemed that Lukas had calmed down a little bit too. "If it makes you feel any better, when you're scared.. just think of something you like and focus on it. Whatever that is to you" he told the other. "It was kind of cute though.. you shivering like that" he admits, leaning forwards and planting a kiss onto Lukas' lips. Andrew took the extra candles and lighter from the closet and put them into his pocket except for one candle that he lit for Lukas to hold so the other had light for himself. @Angel

Lukas could feel his mind slowing down as he was finally able to regulate himself again. Focus on something I like..? Would it be corny to say I could focus on him..? Definitely corny. He looked into the closet now that he could see. There was a plastic bag that he used to put some extra candles in for the others. Then, he turned back to Andrew. “Cute-?” He started, but he was cut off by the kiss, which he returned. Cute..? More like embarrassing.. His face flushed more as he looked away. “Childish, more like it..” he mumbled, more to himself than anything. He was just embarrassed about the whole situation. He took the candle the other handed to him, a small smile creeping across his lips. It was sweet, the way he was making sure he wouldn’t have to be without light, even if he was embarrassed about the silly little fear. Together, the duo made their way back to the family room, where they handed out candles and lit them as they did. Then, there wasn’t really much to do other than sit and talk. The room was fairly lit, they could see eachother, even if it was dim. Lukas curled back up with Andrew on the couch, cuddling as close as he possibly could before resting his head on his chest. Dinner was probably on hold now without power, and with nothing to do but talk, he had started to drift off to sleep. @Sunfauna

"Yes, cute. I could say something else but it'd be inappropriate for your little ears" he teased the other. He was glad that Lukas was at least okay now that there was light. He wondered if this is what Taylor had mentioned before that Lukas was so adamant about not talking about? Even so, he learned a bit about Lukas without even meaning to. The pair made their way back towards the family room where the candles were handed out and the room was now lit, albeit dim but still lit. Taking his seat back on the couch he sighed in content once Lukas had joined him. The other was very close this time. The family seemed to be talking amongst themselves while Andrew was just sitting there with Lukas. An arm wrapped around him and casually playing with the other's hair. Looks like Lukas was starting to drift off to sleep, but Andrew didn't want that. It was okay to be a bit selfish, right? "Hey, don't fall asleep on me just yet.." he said quietly, "You doing alright now?" he asked. "You were spooked like crazy earlier.." @Angel

With Andrew playing with his hair, it was hard to keep himself awake. It felt so nice, he was unconsciously leaning into his hand as he drifted. The conversations of the others weren’t really interesting enough to keep him awake either. However, the other male seemed to have other ideas. Silver eyes peeked out from half open lids as he prodded him to stay awake. “Huh..? Yeah, I’m okay..” He could feel his heart rate pick up as he remembered the events of just 10 minutes ago, and his face flushed again. “It’s.. embarrassing..” he mumbled, looking away with just his eyes as he did. What adult is that scared of the dark? Another loud clash of thunder outside. Judith looked outside and sighed. “I guess thanksgiving is over this year..” she seemed a little disappointed. Lukas looked at her, feeling a little bad for her. His mother loved holidays, but he wasn’t sure how he could fix it for her. Hopefully the power would return soon… @Sunfauna

Seems the other was indeed embarrassed about what happened moments ago with the dark. That Lukas probably thought it was silly to be afraid of something so childish as the dark. "It's not.. embarrassing" he said quietly, using a finger from his hand that had been playing with the others' hair to move down towards the brunette's neck, fingertips gently running over his skin. "Most fear stems from trauma. You already know my fear. Don't you?" he asked. Andrew's fear was easy for the other to know: betrayal. "I have other fears too, you know. Some are probably a lot more childish than your fear of the dark" he tells him, thinking of what to say. "If I recall.. I'm stubborn. So I don't like giving up. Defeat is one thing I am afraid of. To give in is to feel.. weak.." he states quietly, letting his fingertips move towards the back of Lukas' neck. "There's also dogs. I'm afraid of dogs. When I was a kid, about 10 or so.. I was playing with my brother in the park and this big dog.. came at me. At the time, it was just a playful dog that thought it was still a puppy. But to me? I thought it wanted to attack me. I cried so much, running away from it and hiding behind Mark until the owner came to take it away.." Silence as his fingertips stopped their movements on Lukas' neck. "Whenever I see a dog, I get anxious.. scared. I think back to that time and I freeze.." The hand gently grasped the back of Lukas' neck, his thumb rubbing against the side of it. "That's why I told you before.. if you're ever scared, think of something you like.. It helps.." @Angel

Lukas’ attention was pulled back to Andrew as he told him it wasn’t embarrassing. His head tilted slightly with a confused look on his face before he relaxed again. “Right..” he agreed with a single nod. The fingers that had trailed to his neck made him shiver a bit. They were gentle and soft, but there. It made the butterflies return and dance under Andrew’s fingertips. The brunette knew that the other was scared of being betrayed again, of being turned on by someone he loved most. How could I ever do that to him? He tried to think of why he was so scared of the dark. What had happened to make that so. All he could remember was being put in timeout in closets when he was little… and like a little sister does, Lily would torment with it any chance she got. But was that really traumatic? It definitely wasn’t on the same level as some of Andrew’s - his fear of dogs especially. “That’s terrifying.” He mumbled, fidgeting with his shirt sleeves. He had almost gotten used to those fingers at his neck, until they stopped moving entirely and gripped it instead. It made Lukas tense a bit - but not out of uncomftorbility. Instead it made butterflies swarm his chest uncontrollably, making his face bright red. Was the room dim enough to hide it? Probably not. He shifted a bit in attempts to hide it against Andrew’s shoulder. “I’ll just think of you.” He mumbled, closing his eyes for a moment. @Sunfauna

Andrew's hand that was resting on the arm of the couch came over to grab at those fidgeting sleeves. Feeling the other tense a bit at his slight grip made the blonde glance at Lukas for a brief second, and it was in that brief second that he saw the embarrassed look on his face and him trying to hide it in Andrew's shoulder. "Sorry.." he whispered quietly to Lukas, "Force of habit.. My ex liked this sort of thing.. having the neck squeezed" Now that Andrew was with Lukas, he had to remember to dial himself back. He wasn't with his ex anymore, he was with someone new. Surely what he had been doing to Lukas must have caught the other off guard. Dial it back. That's an emotion that should defiantly be locked up.. With a sigh, the male glanced at Andrew once more, But he looks so vulnerable right now.. I could easily dom- his thoughts were cut off when the lights suddenly turned back on. "Well.. isn't that nice. Lights are back, Lukas" Andrew tapped the other on the shoulder before shifting a bit. "I.. am going to go to the bathroom for a bit. I'll be right back" Andrew shifted himself so he could get up from the couch, heading off out of the family room and upstairs. The dark is a scary place for sure, Lukas.. You're not wrong about that.. @Angel

Lukas’ face only deepened by three shades as Andrew seemed to almost.. be teasing him. But it was different than his normal teasing. It was almost.. more intense. Lukas felt like his heart was going to burst. When he apologized, Lukas shook his head. It wasn’t like he also didn’t like it… it was just new. And it made him feel even more new things. “It’s okay, I do-“ he was cut off as the lights suddenly came back on, and his eyes widened in surprised before having to squeeze shut again in order to adjust. And just as suddenly as the lights had come on, those feelings and romantic tension between the two disappeared. Not only that, but Andrew seemed to be in a rush to get away from the situation. Lukas sat up to let him get up. “Oh, okay-“ he watched the other leave the room before sinking back into the couch. Did I.. do something wrong? he wondered. Should I tell him I like the neck squeezing too? Would that be too similar to his ex..? He stared at the door that Andrew had exited from. Should I check on him..? @Sunfauna

Andrew ascended the stairs and made his way down the hallway towards the bathroom. Entering it, he closed and locked the door and slowly sat himself down on the floor. His back resting against the door. Why? Why did I do that? I haven't done anything like that since.. his mind felt like it was slowing down some, ..since I was still together with him.. Chris. No, it's just cause your brain associates lights out as something else. Calm down. But the more he tried not to think about it, the more the thoughts invaded his head. The blonde looked at his hands, feeling his heart pounding in his chest. I can't control myself too well if I end up like that.. "Why.. am I suddenly so hungry?" he questioned to himself. I get that it's been a while, but still.. I can't do that to him. I'd scare him off.. Standing up from the floor slowly, Andrew walked over to the sink and leaned against it, turning on the water and splashing his face with it. "Behave yourself.." he said before shutting off the water and drying his face with a nearby towel. When he felt he was ready to return, the male opened the door.. @Angel

Judith sat up in excitement. “Yes! Thanksgiving is back on!” She squealed and got up, making her way to the dining room. “Lukas, help Lily set the table please!” Lukas had to snap himself out of his little trance before he nodded and got up, making his way to the dining room with Lily. Together, they started laying out plates, silverware, and cups. Dinner would be done soon.. But instead of food, all Lukas could think about was that blonde boy up in his bathroom. It felt like he’d been up there for forever. He set down his last plate before rushing out. Lily yelled after him, “Hey! You could at least help me finish mine!” Her tone of voice made it obvious she had a pout on her face. Lukas moved on autopilot, all the way until he was in the hallway. What am I doing? I should give him space. Yet, his feet continued to move until he was in front of the bathroom door. Just as he’d raised his fist to knock, the door. For a moment, he stood frozen with his hand up, looking like an idiot. And then suddenly, he started rambling. “Sorry- I just wanted to make sure you were okay and that I didn’t do something to upset you, I wasn’t trying to be shy. It was just.. different, but not in a bad way. I don’t want you to feel bad. I didn’t mind the squeezing - I mean I liked it, I just didn’t expect it yknow-?” He just kept on and on.. @Sunfauna

Andrew was about to leave, grabbing the doorknob until he heard Lukas on the other side. Normally Andrew would brush off any feelings but right now he was back where he started again. "I'm fine.." he said, backing away from the door and leaning against the sink again. Calm down.. calm down "I shouldn't have done what I did. It.. wasn't me.." he told the other. "I tend to lose control when the lights turn out.." Why did I say that? I very well could have avoided the conversation but he brought it up immediately! I can't safely say that something won't happen to him now.. God this is bad.. "The squeezing.. it was just an instinctual thing.. don't worry about it. Okay? I'm over it, see?" Andrew forced himself up and unlocked the door to look at Lukas before those feelings came back and he shut the door. Nevermind.. they are very much bubbling.. The blonde's face was a scarlet red, and he wasn't sure how to face Lukas like this. Embarrassed. @Angel

Lukas fell silent as Andrew insisted he was okay. Something told Lukas he wasn’t.. Should I leave him alone? He furrowed his eyebrows, trying to figure out what he could mean by ‘lose control.’ Lukas shifted his weight to his other legs as one hand fidgeted with the hem of his shirt. “Oh, okay- I just-“ he cut himself off when Andrew opened the door, just to shut it again. Lukas was taken back for a second before he took a couple steps from the door. “Okay.. I’ll uhm.. I’ll give you space. Just.. just know I liked it okay?” And with that, Lukas began walking back down the hallway to the dining room. When he got there, food was being set in the middle of the large dining table. Turkey, mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese, yams, corn, green beans, pumpkin pie, Oreo pie.. pretty much all the necessities for a Thanksgiving dinner. Lukas took his spot and waited for Andrew’s return. @Sunfauna

Andrew stayed in the bathroom, not even wanting to face Lukas right now. It wasn't his fault or anything so the other shouldn't need to apologize. It was just that Andrew was feeling some things he hadn't felt in quite a while. If you knew what I was talking about, you wouldn't say such things so openly to me he thought. After about 10 or so minutes being left alone in the bathroom, the blonde had finally calmed down. Opening the door slowly, he saw nobody was around, so he exited the bathroom and headed downstairs. The smell of dinner caught his nose and he followed it all the way to the dining room where a large spread was lining the table. The male took a breath, knowing he needed to compose himself for this. It was a lot for sure, but he'd be okay. Andrew walked in, giving small smiles to any of Lukas family members that greeted the man. There was an open spot that happened to be not directly next to Lucas and Taylor but pretty close. It was just across from them after all. Andrew took his seat, glancing at Lucas for a moment before that eye contact was taken away. @Angel

Taylor sat down beside the brunette. She almost immediately noticed something was up, so before the rest of the family joined them, she nudged him. “What’s up?” Lukas shrugged and shook his head. “I don’t know. Andrew and I were cuddling in the living room, and he did this thing where he gripped the back of my neck, and I got flustered..” Taylor nodded along. “Right..” she responded, urging him to continue. “And then he kind of looked at me before suddenly needing to go to the bathroom. He seemed really flustered. Said he tended to “lose control when the lights are out” or something.” Taylor’s eyes widened as her face flushed and she giggled. “Lukas, I don’t think that was a bad thing. I think just wanted to .. yknow..” she wiggled her eyebrows. It took Lukas a moment for him to realize what she was hinting at, and his entire face turned a deep red. He was turned on? That red stayed prominent on the males face, and when Andrew rejoined, it only got hotter. He didn’t know what was worse, that Andrew was feeling like that or.. that Lukas kind of liked it and .. he thought he felt the same? He wasn’t sure. When it came to that sort of thing, all he’d ever done was masturbate. But.. sleeping with someone was an entirely foreign concept. He couldn’t keep eye contact with the blonde for more than a few seconds without imagining it now, and every now and then Taylor would notice and giggle. Soon enough, everyone was sitting around the table and chatting. Spirits were high now that the power was on. They started to pass the food around fill up their plates.

Andrew had noticed that Lukas' face was quite red. For what reason, he couldn't figure out. But Andrew did his best to remain calm and chat with those around when prompted. It was like he was trying to pretend what happened earlier didn't happen. He knew it did, and he wanted to keep those feelings suppressed. I don't know why I told him that. I could have straight up said it.. But then he'd surely be uncomfortable with me just outright saying it. Hell, maybe he didn't understand what I said at all the blonde thought as he got a bit of turkey and mashed potatoes along with some corn and and a slice of pumpkin pie. He didn't want to eat too much, even if it was thanksgiving. Now that I think about it, he said he didn't mind it.. the thoughts were coming back to him now as he sat there, quietly eating his dinner. Even if all I did was touch his neck, who's to say I wouldn't do more? I know I can be a bit much.. and it's like my personality does a complete 180 or something when that kind of stuff comes up.. Andrew was thinking quite a lot while he ate, staying silent. From serious and uncaring to loving and playful.. Yeah I get carried away super easily.. The male glanced up from his food to look at Lukas, then at Taylor. I wonder if I should apologize to him later.. Even if he said he liked it, that wasn't something I should have done. Especially so freely like that.. Maybe this dinner would be peaceful and the thoughts would die down by the end of it? @Angel

Lukas sort of picked at most of his food, only eating small bits of everything. He was just.. distracted. How the hell was he supposed to survive tomorrow at the springs? Fuck.. now I’m thinking about Andrew shirtless in the water.. His cheeks remained red for what seemed like the entire dinner. Even Judith questioned it, asking if he felt feverish, to which he shook his head and insisted he was okay. Other than that, dinner seemed to go relatively smooth. When all was said and done, servants began clearing the plates and cleaning things up. His aunt and uncle and cousins took their leave, and his grandparents stayed around for a little longer to chat, but would leave eventually too. Lukas helped clear his own dishes. He’d done that his whole life, hating having other people cleanup after him. The whole time, he seemed to almost avoid Andrew - but not intentionally. Everytime he looked at him, scenarios flashed in his mind that made him too flustered to even try to talk to him. Whyd you have to tell me, Taylor? Now I can’t even fake our real relationship in front of my family. @Sunfauna

Well, it seems that dinner did go about as smoothly as it could. When dinner was over, people were starting to head out for the night. Andrew would have helped, but it seemed anytime he got near Lukas in any attempt to talk to him, he'd avoid the blonde. Maybe he does know, and I scared him.. Shit.. he thought to himself. Well this is going to be a problem.. Once the others had left, Andrew took his leave from the table, heading out to the foyer to head upstairs. It's probably because I'm sleep deprived. That has to be the reason why I did that.. right? Lack of sleep? God, what would I have been like if I actually slept? Thinking about it began to worry the male as he made it to the top of the stairs, heading for the bedroom. Opening the door and stepping in, he closed it quietly behind him and just crawled into bed, pulling the covers over his head. He'll probably continue to avoid me.. not like I can apologize or anything if he won't let me. There, Andrew lay under the covers with his back to the door. @Angel

Lukas finished cleaning up. I can’t keep avoiding him. He told himself, and he looked around, but it seemed the blonde had disappeared. Shit.. A sense of guilt overcame him. He hadn’t intended to make Andrew feel sad. Was he sad? Or maybe he was still flustered from earlier. Once he finished helping clear the rest of the table, he made his way up to his bedroom. Despite it being his room, he knocked before opening the door. Inside, he could see the outline of a body under his blanket. His eyes softened and he turned, shutting the door as quietly as possible. Then, he slowly walked over, crawling from the end of the bed into it. He laid down slowly and gently beside the other on his stomach, just looking at the blanket where Andrew’s face would be. “Hey..” he said quietly after a moment. “I’m sorry, if it seemed like I was avoiding you. I just.. this whole relationship thing is so new, there’s some things that I don’t know how to process yet.” He explained. He hesitated, but put a hand on top of Andrew where his bicep was. “I wasn’t avoiding you because I was upset or anything. Taylor told me uhm..” he cleared his throat, trying to think of a way to say this without flustering Andrew. “She told me what you might’ve been thinking when you grasped my neck like that, and .. and that’s okay, I don’t mind it. I still.. like that you did it.” @Sunfauna

Andrew would have fallen asleep if it wasn't for the sound of knocking on the door. He stayed where he was, not moving as he didn't want Lukas to see him. The sound of the door closing and the weight shift on the bed let him know that Lukas was there, nearby. "Hey.." Andrew responded back when Lukas had greeted him, though his sounded more depressed than the others'. Hearing Lukas being the one apologizing was something he didn't expect. Andrew knew it was his fault and blamed himself. He felt a hand on his bicep and the male internally froze. But he didn't show it externally or anything. "It's not okay, Lukas.." the other spoke, shifting himself so he was on his back, pulling the covers down just enough so they rested on his chest. "It's not okay at all. You're new to this, I'm not. I should have been more considerate. But, it's just this thing that's ingrained into my brain.." he told the brunette, sitting himself up now. "I.. personally, have a personality switch when I do that kind of stuff. It's intense. Scaring you like that is the last thing I want to do to you" Andrew looked the brunette in the eyes. His hazel staring at silver. His hand reached out, hesitating for a second before taking hold of Lukas' hand. "You never had to experience what I did. When I was in that relationship, with my ex.. I was.. a completely different person. I gave everything I had for that guy. Everything" he explained. "You say you like it, but that's not even 1% of what I'm capable of. I love a person with my whole heart. Body and soul. That blackout earlier just brought back some of those feelings that I had tucked away. Ones I had for him that were about as natural as they came. For me to do that to you, without thinking.. is scary." Andrew squeezed Lukas' hand gently. "You may be fine with one or two things, but if you let me do more than that I won't be able to stop myself. That's why I'm telling you now. You are a person too. With feelings and desires. I respect that. Bu

Lukas’ eyes softened as Andrew seemed really distraught about this. “Even if I am new to it, I..” he trailed off. What did he want? When they locked eyes, he got butterflies again. He wasn’t sure what to say after Andrew had finished talking. He sat up with him, keeping a hold of his hand as he tried to think. Not even 1%? What was that supposed to to entail? Lukas looked down at their hands. His thumb was tracing small circles into his hand. “If you feel that way, I can’t change your mind. But know that you’re not going to scare me off.” He finally said after a while. “I just.. I’m here. And I don’t really have plans on going anywhere soon so..” he finally let go of Andrew’s hand, laying back down and facing the wall. Now he preoccupied his hand with fidgeting with the edge of the blanket. Even if I tell him I don’t mind, he’s still scared.. How do I get him to let his walls down.. This is so much harder than I’d thought.. @Sunfauna

Andrew didn't say anything after that, he just laid back down, his back facing Lukas. He knew that the other was trying to comfort him to tell him that things were okay, but Andrew knew better than that. His intensity would certainly scare him off. He just knew it would deep down. "What? Were you going to say that you trust me?" the blonde asks, rolling over to stare at Lukas' back. "You'd be better off trusting yourself. cause I can't even trust myself when the lights go out" he admits. "It's something I haven't been able to fix for years. I'd just be.. I dunno.. an annoyance or something" he sighs heavily. "I'd like to start small, but I don't know if I can even do that.." What would count as small anyway? Touching? Kissing? They'd be small things for others, but certainly a challenge for me. Would he even be strong enough to fend me off if I lost control? No, I'm bigger than him, I'd easily overpower him.. the male thought. But that's if I wasn't sleep deprived.. An idea popped into his head, but he wasn't sure if he really wanted to go through with it. If he wanted to fix himself and better understand his emotions for Lukas, he'd have to start somewhere. "Lukas.. Did you.. really like the neck touching?" he asked. @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/21/2024 23:03
Lukas had opened his mouth to say Of course I trust you. but he never actually said it. He was more so confused as to what Andrew was talking about. “You talk like you’re a werewolf or something.” He joked. He rolled over, facing Andrew now. Silver eyes locked with hazel ones. “Start small?” His face flushed a bit, trying to think of what he meant by that. Was he talking about relationship stuff? “What, like… making out or something?” He tried to think of what he’d seen in movies before. What intense love scenes included. He was pulled from his thoughts when Andrew asked the question. “Huh?” He hummed, thinking back to that moment on the couch. The way Andrew’s fingers slowly slid down his neck, traced it, then lightly grabbed it was definitely something he wouldn’t say he didn’t like. It was enough to make him shiver again just thinking about it. “I did.. why?” @Sunfauna

Andrew Bishop BOT 03/21/2024 23:12
When Lukas had rolled over to look at the blonde, Andrew had to do everything in his power not to retreat under that blanket. "That's a weird analogy you thought of" Andrew smirked a bit. "No, it's not like that. I just mean that because of the relationship I was in before, my brain associates lights out with.. you know. And when I said I love a person fully, I mean it. I just mean I give too much love. I don't know how to tone it down or rein it in.." he explains, not sure if what he's saying is making any sense. "But.. because that's the only relationship I've actually been in, that's all my heart knows. So.. that's why I'm asking you to help me. You know I hate asking for help, but.. if it's going to be us, I don't want to fuck it up" he admits. Those hazel eyes stared into the silver ones again as Lukas explained that he was fine with the hand on the neck. "I told you earlier, right? About Chris? He liked that kind of thing. Well, he had more of a choking kink.. that's why I was a bit concerned about you. Obviously I'd never do something like that to you!" he said the last part quickly. "Its just a mindless habit from my previous relationship.. Something I'd do similar to when I tease you. You know?" What would be a good way to start for us? Something small that I can control? Lukas had mentioned making out and Andrew had to think for a bit. "We could do that, if you want. I won't promise that I won't get handsy but.. I think that'd be a good first start.." @Angel

Lukas kept his eyes on Andrew’s. It was hard to tear them away at this point, especially since he wanted him to know he had his full attention. “That makes sense..” he said quietly, nodding. “But.. if you start trusting me, and your feelings come out more, I don’t think I’d want you to rein it in.” Lukas admitted. He’d wondered what it felt like to be loved that way - and he wouldn’t be against it. “But I understand you need to take your time.. and I should too.. I just.. I don’t want you to take my inexperience as fear, okay?” A choking kink? Lukas’ eyes widened a bit as his face flushed. Obviously, the dude’s seen porn before. But he had no idea if he himself would be into that sort of thing… or anything really. That would have to require exploring.. Lukas could feel his face heating up at all the thoughts invading his brain at the moment, so he tried to distract himself with what Andrew was suggesting. “Okay..” he said, scooting just a little closer to the other. “I’ve only ever seen makeouts in movies, so forgive me.” He laughed a bit. @Sunfauna

"I do trust you, Lukas. I just don't know if I can trust myself is the problem" he admits. "But even if you say it like that, I have to take your feelings into consideration. That comes first above everything else. Inexperience included" Andrew raised a hand and let it gently stroke the brunette's hair. "Besides, I don't want to dump a bunch of feelings on you and drown you in them. Hell, I'm still trying to get those feelings out. I think that this 'exercise' if you wanna call it that will help some.." With the brunette scooting closer to the blonde, Andrew's hand slid from Lukas' hair to his cheek, rubbing it gently with his thumb. "As for the makeouts.. it's no different from a kiss. It's just.. a really long, continuous one. Actually quite tiring to do to be honest" he chuckles. "But, let's start slow.." he leaned towards him, his eyes looking into silver ones and then at the other's lips. "Okay?" he whispers before gently planting his lips onto the brunette's. They were soft, gentle even. He let the hand that was holding the other's face trail down to the other's waist, slinking around to pull him closer. @Angel

Lukas couldn’t help but smile at least a little bit. The other putting his feelings first made him feel nice.. Even if he was inexperienced, Andrew was willing to be patient with him, and that made his chest flutter. When he felt Andrew’s hand in his hair, he closed his eyes for a moment as he leaned into it. If there was one thing he knew he liked so far, it was Andrew playing with his hair. “I hope it’ll help..” he mumbled. He opened his eyes again as the others hand moved to his cheek. Could he feel how hot my face is right now? He wondered while also trying to listen to his explanation. “Okay.” He nodded. When their lips met, his heart skipped a beat.. or two. And it didn’t help that he was pulled even closer, basically chest to chest with Andrew. He allowed his own hands to move, moving them around the blonde’s neck. He was trying to mimic what he’s seen other people do, in movies, shows, stuff like that. But he also was trying to follow Andrew’s lead. And instinct. All at the same time. With their chests so close, he was sure the other male could feel his heart beating. @Sunfauna

Andrew was letting the kisses go slow so Lukas could get a feel for what was going on. He was doing his best to be as tame as possible, even though the feeling of Lukas' hands moving around his neck made him shiver. An exhale from the blonde's lips as he stopped a second before continuing to kiss Lukas. Andrew could certainly feel the others' heartbeat, including his own. How hot his skin felt on his fingertips when his hands wandered about the brunnette's back and even attempting to breach under the shirt. Obviously his hands didn't go under as he wasn't sure if the other was comfortable with it. Also because he had to restrain himself from jumping on the poor guy. I missed this kind of thing.. so much.. he thought, pulling away from the kiss and moving his lips towards Lukas' jawline, planting little kisses along it, and moving down towards the side of the neck. The urge to bite the other was so strong right now, but he refrained with just kisses. "Let me know what you want to try, mkay?" he whispered against the others' skin. @Angel

Lukas liked that they were taking their time, that Andrew was being patient with him. He took every chance he could get to catch his breath, although everytime the kisses resumed, it felt like the other was stealing it again. Feeling his hands wander… those butterflies seemed to follow his fingertips as they trailed along, fluttering underneath them and desperate for skin to skin contact. Lukas hadn’t expected the kiss to end, so when it did, he opened his eyes a bit. Did he not like.. His thought never finished. When he felt those soft kisses begin along his jawline, he instinctively lifted his head, giving the blonde more access. His breath hitched a bit, and one of his hands moved to Andrew’s collar, gently gripping at it and fidgeting with it between his fingers. What did he want to try? He didn’t know. What would he even be into? “I-I…” he started, trying to think, but his mind was clouded. He was having all of these.. thoughts. Thoughts that were admittedly turning him on. “Anything, really..” he mumbled. @Sunfauna

Andrew Bishop BOT 03/22/2024 01:23
Anything? Well that was a dangerous answer. However, Andrew simply took that as an invitation to try some things. Clearly the brunette liked what was being done now, even grabbing at the blonde's shirt collar. Skin on skin contact would be a dangerous game to play with Andrew, that's for sure. "Use your words.." Andrew whispered to the male, continuing to plant kisses along the other's neck, trailing up to gently nibble on Lukas' earlobe. It wasn't anything hard or aggrerssive, just gentle, soft nibbles. "Unless you can't find them.." he whispered, trailing the kisses back along the jawline and towards the neck once more. Maybe a little nibble here is okay.. Andrew allowed his teeth to gently bite down onto Lukas' neck. Not enough to leave any lasting marks, and nothing to draw blood. Just the same type of soft nibbles as he had done on the earlobe. He could feel his own hands slowly slipping under the other's shirt, moving along to rest on either side of Lukas' waist. It'd be a huge lie to say that Andrew wasn't already turned on the moment he started doing this stuff. But he kept his lower half far enough away so it wouldn't scare the other. "You doing okay?" @Angel

Lukas’ face turned red as he was told to use his words. Admittedly, that fired him up even more, and he opened his mouth to speak. But, Andrew was right. He couldn’t find them. While he was inexperienced, he definitely knew the feelings he was getting, and he knew Andrew was the source. Instinctively, he moved his hips back just a bit, as if to avoid letting the other notice. As if his excitement wasn’t obvious in other ways. “H-Ah…” his breath hitched at the small bite and his hang pulled lightly on Andrew’s collar. He quickly nodded. “I’m good. Really good.” He admitted. His skin lightly twitched under Andrew’s touch, not used to the feeling. Since the other male had initiated skin to skin, Lukas had finally made up his mind. “I want this, Andrew.” He said, pulling back a bit so they were face to face, making eye contact. “Please.” He was mostly referring to the kisses and the touches.. but if it went further, he wasn’t going to be upset. @Sunfauna

Hearing that hitched breathing only excited the male more, as it was a sign the other liked what was being done to him. Though, hearing it from Lukas himself that it was good helped boost his confidence as he continued what he was doing. It took everything in him to keep this as tame as possible. But his body wanted more. It craved more. Especially after hearing Lukas say that he wanted this, even using his name. Oh, that set him off. Without so much as another word, Andrew moved his hands to lift the other's shirt, taking it off and tossing it to the side. He pulled away from the gentle nibbles on the neck and just looked at the male in front of him. His hazel eyes gazing at the other's body. Andrew's hands gently explored the other's torso. He had this look in his eyes of such restraint. As if he were fighting with himself inside. Andrew moved his hands down towards Lukas' and guided them towards the bottom of his own shirt, as if asking for the other to remove it. "I haven't chased you away yet?" he breathed, leaning forwards to plant a kiss on Lukas lips and pulled away. "I'd ask for you to try, but I feel that'd just excite me more" he chuckles. @Angel

Lukas gasped quietly as Andrew suddenly lifted his shirt off and tossed it. He hadn’t been.. exposed like this to the other yet. He wasn’t super muscular, maybe a bit above average but nothing too crazy. His breaths became heavier, quicker, more excited. “Chased me away?” He tilted his head. Not once did he take his eyes off the other. With a gentle tug, he pulled Andrew’s shirt up and over his head as well before looking at him. He allowed his eyes to trail down then up again. Last time he was shirtless, Lukas had avoided looking, but now, he seemed to soak it all in. Lukas smiled as Andrew laughed. “I don’t know, I kind of like you excited..” he laughed with him. “Let me try..” he sat up in the bed. At this point, he was following what he’d seen in adult movies online, or romance scenes in movies. He pushed Andrew gently to where he laid on his back instead of his side before he crawled over him, his legs on either side of his hips and his hands on either side of his head. From there, he sort of just stared down at him. “Can I..” he didn’t even finish asking before he leaned down, pressing their lips together again. @Sunfauna

"You like me excited?" Andrew smiled gently, feeling the other gently push him onto his back. He groaned slightly when Lucas had crawled on top of him. There wasn't a ton of weight on him, but it was enough for the other to feel him. "Mmm, What are you-" but his question was cut off by a sudden kiss from the other. Andrew exhaled, bringing his arms up to wrap around the other's back. This was new, and he wasn't hating it. If anything, this was a good way to keep Andrew under some form of control. He waited until the other had pulled away from the kiss before Andrew sank his teeth into Lukas neck. This time a bit harder, a groan escaping the blonde as he held onto the other. Finally releasing his jaws from the other's neck, he looked at the brunette with a teasing smirk on his lips. "Sorry, couldn't help myself. I like to bite" @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/22/2024 02:08
The groan that came from the other seemed to push Lukas over the edge. He wanted to hear it again. The kiss lasted for a moment, until he needed to catch his breath again, which wasn’t very long after it’d started. Ever since Andrew had first got him going he’d found it hard to regulate his breathing in the excitement. The bite was unexpected, but caused a soft moan in response. Lukas’ face lit bright red at the noise he’d made, and his whole body shivered at the feeling of Andrew’s teeth in his skin. When he pulled away, Lukas looked down to him. “Bite as hard as you want.” He responded. Before he had only been lightly sitting on Andrew’s lap, but he could feel him under him.. and following his instincts and feelings was something he wanted to do. So gently, he pressed down harder, putting his full weight into straddling the other before slowly, oh so slowly, he began to grind his hips down into the others’ a bit. “What did you do to me..” he mumbled quietly, placing his hands on Andrew’s chest as he looked down at him. His soft pants were audible as they escaped his lips. He’d never felt like this before, had never done it with anyone before, and yet it seemed to be coming to him naturally. @Sunfauna

The soft moan from Lukas had sparked something in Andrew. The noise alone had excited him more, and with his permission, he did as he was told. Andrew did not hesitate to bite harder onto the male's neck. Sinking his teeth deep into the other's skin, enough to break it. His breathing harsh against the other as he felt the faint warmth of blood trickling down the edges of his lips. It would have stayed that way if not for what Lukas had started doing next. The weight of the male now fully on him, they'd be able to feel Andrew quite easily. What he wasn't expecting however was the grinding. That alone made Andrew pull away from the bite, throwing his head back and gasping. A moan of his own escaped, as his grip on the other lessened more and more. "Now you're the one teasing me.." he groaned. "Fuck.. You're tempting me so much.." @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/22/2024 13:50
Lukas’ eyes widened slightly as he was bit, but it didn’t hurt strangely enough. Instead, it seemed to fuel him almost. He let out a soft moan, almost a whimper, as he felt the warm feeling of blood rushing to the surface. He panted quietly as he basked in the feeling, but didn’t stop the movement of his hips. It felt good, the grinding sensation, the friction. Another moan from Andrew, and Lukas knew he was doing something good. A quick glance at the door, then back to Andrew, he leaned down and kissed him before climbing off, making his way to the door and locking it. When he turned to face Andrew again, he was panting with nervousness. He wanted this, but it was his first time with all of this.. he made his way back, resuming his position and climbing over the other. “Is this okay?” He asked quietly. Part of him wanted to be sure. Be sure that Andrew truely wanted this too, that he had enough feelings for him. “I don’t want you to do this if you don’t truely feel something for me..” @Sunfauna

The grinding continued against his groin and he couldn't help the soft moans leaking from his mouth. His skin was certainly hot and the sight of the other on top of him made his body feel weak. Never had he felt like this. He's never done this before, right? Andrew thought to himself hazily. The urge to bite more was there but his energy to do so was slipping some due to the other male above him. These feelings of desire.. they're so strong right now. It's suffocating.. unbearable.. Suddenly, the blonde felt the brunette leave him and he relaxed for a second. The sound of the door locking made him turn his head. He knows what that means now.. is he wanting this to go further? I'd like to, the desire is certainly there. I just have to be slow.. As Lukas started to walk back towards him, he gave a soft nod. "Yeah, I'm fine with it. But.. let's lose a layer, yeah? Feels better when there isn't too much in the way.." Andrew went ahead to lift his hips up to take off the dark sweatpants he had on, leaving him in his boxers. It felt like constricting but sooner or later that feeling would need to breath. He was fine with taking his time with Lucas. Letting him do his own thing. When Lucas had mounted him again, that grinding feeling felt so much different. Better even. "Fuck.. you're so good at this.." it was like the other was attempting to tame a wild beast. Right now it was being submissive, but eventually.. if Lukas allowed it.. that sub would be a Dom. @Angel

Lukas looked down at Andrew for a moment before nodding. He stood up again for just a moment to remove his own pajama pants before climbing back over the other male. He felt a little vulnerable like this, and he knew that feeling would only intensify as time passed. His breathing was a little shaky as he placed his hands back on Andrew’s chest and he resumed grinding his hips down into Andrew’s. God.. he was right.. He couldn’t help but chase the new more intensified feeling of one less layer between them. Soft moans and pants escaped him, and he tried his best to stay quiet as he did. It didn’t help that the other male was praising him. Lukas realized he liked that.. a lot. He looked up to him before whispering, “C-Can you.. keep doing that..” @Sunfauna

That feeling was so much better now. Not as great as skin on skin contact but it would suffice for now. The hands placed on his chest for support and the other's movements with his hips was enough to make Andrew weak. It felt so good. What also felt good? Knowing now that Lukas had developed a praise kink. "Well.. someone's got a praise kink, don't they?" Andrew smirked. "Even if you didn't, I'd still praise you.." he moaned afterwards, resting his hands on Lukas' waist. "You sure you've never done this before? Cause it feels amazing.." Andrew hadn't really had a person on top of him like this, so this was certainly a way to keep his high sex drive in control. But that desire to please the other was still just as strong. "Do you want to feel it too?" he whispered, his eyes looking into the others before he started moving his own hips against the other's movements. "O-Oh.. shit.. So much better.." his hands gripped Lukas's sides, using him as a form of support as the blonde grinded his hips up into the brunette's. "What else do you want? Name it and it's yours" @Angel

Lukas’ eyes widened a bit as Andrew openly teased him about the praise, but he didn’t mind it. If anything, it just gave him butterflies. “I’ve done it to a pillow..” he admitted with a soft giggle. Even though that was very than this current situation, Lukas figured it was pretty close. “I’m glad you like it..” When Andrew grasped his hips and started moving their own, Lukas’ whole body shuttered from the pleasure as he whimpered. “F-Fuck..” he mumbled, leaning down so they were chest to chest again. What did he want? He knew he wanted more than this.. but more than this was scary. A little overwhelming even. He took a moment to answer the blondes question. He didn’t have anything for his hands to occupy, so he focused and basked in the pleasure he was recieving for a moment before finally, he spoke up. “I.. You can bite more or.. a-anything really. I want to be yours..” he mumbled, his face buried in Andrew’s neck before he started leaving his own soft kisses and nibbles there. @Sunfauna

The blonde gave a soft smile to the other as he admitted to using a pillow. "Nothing wrong with that" he says, gasping a bit at the pleasured movements. "As for what to do to you.. I feel I could litter your body with marks" he says casually, "but I feel that wouldn't look good for tomorrow" he grins. "So, we can stay like this.. but I want a turn now" The males arms wrapped around the others back and in one swift movement, swapped so that Lucas was on his back with the other hovering over him. Their friction fun had stopped for right now as the blonde gazed down at the brunette. A hand reaching down to run across the others chest and stomach. "You probably think I'm gonna devour you.. but as much as I wish I could.. I know that you are probably unsure about doing more, right?" He asked, moving his hips so that they were between Lucas' legs. His groin just barely touching the others, not moving. "You said I could do anything, but I think just this will suffice for now. Until you can say it confidently to me.." Andrew rested his hands on either side of Lucas on the bed as support, he did lean a bit for a better position as he started to slowly grind against the other. He wasn't straddling him by any means, but it gave him more freedom and was easier this way. Now it was his turn to please. @Angel

Lukas gasped as they were flipped, now feeling the soft cushion of the pillow under his head instead. He looked up, silver eyes sparkling in the moonlight coming through the window. You’d think he was cold by the amount of shivering his body was going through, but in reality, it was excitement. Anticipation. The pressure on his groin had stopped, leaving him aching for more. Devour me..? His face flushed at the thought, and he spread his legs just a bit to let Andrew’s hips in. He was desperate for that contact again, so much so he squirmed a bit under the other. What a tease.. His hands moved to grip the bedsheets as Andrew resumed the grinding, making Lukas lean his head into his pillow a bit, his mouth hanging open in pleasure. It was extremely hard not to be loud. The house was big, but he didn’t want someone to hear if they’d been passing by. “A-Ah..” he moaned quietly, tugging at his sheets as he pressed up a bit. His desperation was increasing as they went. Eventually, he grabbed Andrew by the shoulders and locked eyes with him. “Please.. I want more..” he tried to say with as much confidence as he could. If removing the one layer felt this good, he couldn’t imagine removing the last one. He was aching for the skin to skin contact. “Please. I’ll do anything.” @Sunfauna

The blonde was indeed a tease. He was quite good at it as he moved his hips, pressing them against the other as he moved. The friction felt good, but as much as he wanted that skin contact he had to control himself. At least try to, Andrew was still sleep deprived so he didn't have as much energy as one would think he had right now. Even so, he still wanted to do it, so he continued. The moans from the other gave him the energy he needed anyway and trying to be quiet amused him. "Anything? Hmm.. Your begging is so cute.. how can I resist?" Andrew smirked, leaning over to plant kisses along the brunette's neck, over the bite mark on left on his neck that had stopped bleeding but still had blood stained on the skin. "If you want it.. come get it. I'm going to make you work for it" he whispered into Lucas ear before grinding harder in a teasing attempt towards Lucas. @Angel

Lukas whined quietly under the other as he continued grinding, making an attempt as pressing up, chasing more. He panted and covered his mouth as Andrew moved to his neck, flinching when he got to the bite. It was super sensitive and if that was Andrew holding back.. I can only imagine what he’s capable of.. “come get it.” Those words stuck in Lukas’ mind as he opened his eyes to look at the other male. He tried to think of what he’d seen while watching porn.. embarrassing, but it was really all the experience he had to reference. Another glance at Andrew. Either he was tired, or he was holding back, but either way, Lukas was going to take his chance. He flipped them again, pressing his hands to Andrew’s chest as they rolled once more. He leaned down, immediately smashing their lips together in a passionate yet sloppy kiss. If the blonde wanted him to work, he was going to work. He took his time before pulling away from the kiss, mimicking what Andrew had done to him before, kissing his cheek then down his jawline, and his neck. He nipped at him every now and then, and purposely left a mark right above his collarbone. But he didn’t stop there. He continued to kiss down Andrew’s chest, to his belly button, down passed that, right to the hem of his boxers. From there, he glanced up, a flash of feigned innocence in his eyes. @Sunfauna

Those quiet whines were what drove the male to continue what he was doing. His teasing continued to pester the other. He hadn't expected Lukas to have the drive to actually take on his tease. The flip caught the blonde completely off guard, but it was such a turn on at the same time. His back hit the bed under him, rather enjoying this little game of Dom and Sub between the two. Just as Andrew was about to tease the other, they're lips met. Andrew's heart fluttered, nearly melting into the kiss. When Lukas pulled away, it allowed the other to catch their breath. The mimicked kisses along his jawline and neck caused Andrew to shiver, faint moans leaving his lips. His skin was burning with heat from everything that had happened so far, and he would have openly accepted going all the way but he had to hold himself back. Andrew knew that if they ever did agree to go all the way, he'd not once hold back. So going slow was better. Though, in terms of how slow between the two was right now? It was like both were struggling. Andrew had to be the one to make sure Lukas truly wanted it. Not just think that he wanted it. He had to know and say it personally. His hazel eyes watched as the brunette planted kisses along his body. The feeling of a bite on his neck caused him to let out a semi-loud moan that even he couldn't control. "Fuck.. Such a copy-cat.." he teased the other. Though this bite clearly wasn't as harsh as Andrew's earlier, it was still a decent bite that he didn't think the other was capable of doing. Maybe he underestimated him? The kisses continued to trail down his body; the chest, his abdomen and right at the hem of his boxers. The look that Lukas had gave him, seemed innocent enough but with how the other had been behaving, it's like he was asking for it. Would he really do it? Inside he wanted it. Outside? His groin was screaming for a release. "Someone's hungry" the blonde teased with a grin. @Angel

Lukas just hovered there for a moment, attempting to be a tease before he bit his lip lightly. Andrew had called him a copy cat, but maybe he could do something the other hadn’t yet.. He hooked slow meticulous fingers underneath the band of the other male’s boxers and with one last glance to make sure it was okay, he pulled them down and off, completely exposing him. Lukas’ face turned a deep red, having never seen this much of any guy before.. but, he followed his instincts. He comftorbly nestled himself between Andrew’s legs, his arms over his thighs and hands resting on his hips, gently pressing small circles into them. While keeping eye contact, he leaned forward, dragging his tongue from the base of Andrew’s member all the way to the tip. Everything he did he’d learned from watching adult movies. He moved one hand to hold it up for himself, slowly letting a little bit of spit drip on it before slowly taking just the tip in his mouth. @Sunfauna

Andrew watched Lukas for a moment, wondering what he was doing, until he saw the other hook his boxers. Well.. didn't think he'd go for it.. the blonde thought as he watched Lukas tug his boxers down and for his member to finally be free from its constraints. A sigh of relief as the blonde relaxes a bit more. Though he couldn't help but chuckle at seeing Lukas' red face, obviously from embarrassment. I guess he's never actually seen another person's before, eh? What he wasn't expecting the other to do though was for him to drag that tongue from base to tip. It certainly got a reaction out of Andrew, causing the male to moan shakily. His back arched just a little from that interaction. Then the brunette took the tip into his mouth. It was taking everything in Andrew to not face-fuck him. Everything. The look on his face, was one at the mercy of the other. "Don't force yourself.." Andrew said, reaching out a hand to gently stroke Lukas' cheek. "And.. try not to use teeth.. It doesn't feel good" he smirked. "Just.. go slow for now" @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/23/2024 03:28
The others reaction to his actions sent Lukas overboard. He wanted to see that more - hear more of those noises from him. He pulled off the tip just for a moment as a tease. Those eyes never left the others face. “I’m not forcing myself to do anything..” he said softly, leaning into Andrew’s hand for a moment. His little touches like that.. those are what sent butterflies throughout Lukas’ entire body, making him feel a little giddy. No teeth, got it.. He nodded before resuming, once again licking up the base of Andrew’s shaft and to the tip before taking it in his mouth again. He did as he was told, avoiding teeth as he sucked a bit, tightening his mouth around it before he moved down just a bit, then up again. He breathed through his nose and closed his eyes, relaxing his whole body. It wasn’t bad. In fact, being able to please the other like this was .. nice. He bobbed his head up and down, and each time he came down he took a little more of Andrew into his mouth. Eventually, he had made it to nearly the bottom of his shaft before he had to pull off and catch his breath, gasping before panting softly. However, he didn’t want to have Andrew be without pleasure for even a moment, so he moved one hand over, wrapping it firmly around his cock as he looked up at him and began to stroke it, spreading his spit along it. @Sunfauna

Feeling Lukas take him into his mouth really did send the blonde into a state of ecstacy. It felt so nice, so relaxing. It was also a dangerous state of wanting to take control too. That feeling inside of wanting to pounce on him and take him where he sat had crossed his mind several times. But he laid there, accepting the blowjob being given to him. His whines and moans getting slightly loud, enough that he had to cover his mouth with his other hand to muffle them. Fuck.. He's good at this.. He's going all out.. To think that Lucas' first time pleasing a partner could be good was something to the blonde. Even the slight tip of no teeth seemed easy for the brunette to understand. Hell, he was almost taking him fully, which surprised Andrew. He wasn't large or anything like that, a well rounded six inches or so. "Lukas.." he'd whine to the other the moment he felt the pleasing stop. Then he felt a hand grip his shaft and he gasped, shuddering slightly at the small strokes the brunette was making along his member. "Mmm.. More, Lukas.." he begged. The look in his eyes that he gave the brunette were ones clearly not shown to the other before. They were a submissive, begging look. One Lukas probably didn't expect the blonde to have. @Angel

Lukas glanced up again as Andrew whined his name. It made him tilt his head out of curiosity. What he saw only peaked that curiosity more. An.. almost submissive look from the other? It wasn’t like him, from what Lukas had seen so far. Andrew had come off as dominant and teasing. Definitely the one taking the lead.. but this.. Lukas’ heart skipped a beat. The begging only made him want to pleasure him more. “Okay okay.” He giggled, continuing his small strokes. “Promise me one thing.. I’m inexperienced, but … I kind of don’t want you to go easy on me..” he said before resuming what he’d been doing before. But this time, he dived right into it, taking Andrew’s cock into his mouth and almost immediately taking it all in. It almost reached the back of his throat before he pulled up, then dived back down again. The whole time, he kept a tight grip on it with his lips, closing his eyes as he relaxed his body again. He wanted to hear more of Andrew, hopefully not too loudly, but definitely more. @Sunfauna

It was difficult for the male to speak, as he was trying to hold back his louder moans with his hand. "F-Fine. But remember.. you're the o-one who s-said it.. Oh god.. Not me" he managed to get out, taking his hand away from his mouth and letting those moans quieten some. But as soon as Lukas started back up with taking his cock almost fully, Andrew started to react to it. His hips started to move slightly into Lukas. Those small, gentle thrusts. "Fuck.. I just want you.. I want you to feel good too. It's.. not fair" he whines, trying to sit himself up but instead propped himself on his elbows. "Take.. yours out.. too. Let them meet.. the shafts.. It feels good if you do it like.. that too" he says, trying to catch his breath from all that was going on. He obviously loved the blowjob that was being given. But he wanted Lukas to feel good too. This would be an easy way for them both. "Lukas.." @Angel

Lukas relaxed himself more as he felt Andrew start to thrust. They were soft and gentle, slow and easy. They actually helped with Lukas taking Andrew’s entire length, and he managed to go like this for a while. Eventually he had to gasp for hair again. When he pulled off, he made a soft popping noise. He sat up a bit at Andrew’s request. He was hesitant. Of course he’d never been bare ass in front of anyone, but.. he’d come this far. However, any sense of dominance he had was dissipated. He was a little shaky when he got up, and his face turned red once more as he looked away, hooking his thumb into the band of his boxers. He slowly shimmied them off and tossed them to the side. Then, he crawled back over Andrew. He was avoiding eye contact now. He positioned himself over Andrew. “L-Like this..?” @Sunfauna

Andrew Bishop BOT 03/23/2024 04:36
Andrew couldn't help but laugh quietly at Lukas' sudden shyness returning. He had been dominant for a bit and for him to be so shy and nervous? It was like the flip of a switch. "Hey, look at me, Lukas.." he said softly, taking his hand and resting it on Lukas' cheek, turning his head slowly to make the other look at him. "You're fine. I promise what I'm showing you isn't going to hurt you or anything. Mkay? I wouldn't do that to you. Here.." The blonde helped position the other similar to when they had been grinding. "It's just more grinding. But.." Andrew took his member and slowly let the shaft press against Lukas' shaft. "Just like that. You can hold 'em if that makes it easier for you.." he told him. "The underside here.." he ran a finger gently against the underside of Lukas' shaft. "Is more sensitive. So if you have them both facing each other like this.. and rub them together.. it feels good for both parties. Understand?" he smiled. He wanted to help the other feel good too. He couldn't trust himself fully in pleasuring the other without that inate desire to penetrate him. But he wasn't going to make the other go through that during his first time. He'd rather it be slow. Was this first time slow? Well, to an extent it kind of was. Andrew had held back quite well all things considered. @Angel

Lukas’ face deepened and his heart skipped a beat. He leaned against his hand against Andrew’s hand for a moment while he spoke to him. It helped calm him a bit - but he wasn’t scared of being hurt. He was just shy about being so vulnerable. This was a part of him he’d never shared with anyone, and sharing it with Andrew was major for him. When he let go of his cheek and started to position him, Lukas moved along and tried to relax more. When their shafts made contact, Lukas’ mouth opened a bit. “H-Hah..” he panted softly, only to be followed by a sort of loud “M-Mmph!” At Andrew’s finger dragging along his shaft. He’d never had anyone else touch him.. “Okay..” he nodded, placing his hands on Andrew’s chest. It took him a moment for him to start. The pleasure was almost instant and overwhelming as his mouth hung open a bit. He was trying to stifle his noises a bit, but it was hard. “A-Andrew..” he moaned the others name quietly. @Sunfauna

Hearing that noise from Lukas seemed to stir a lot of feelings in the blonde. Butterflies inside him that felt like they'd explode from his body. He loved hearing those noises from him. If only they could be louder. "See? Told you it's sensitive" he smirked. "But that's good, cause sensitive means it feels good. Both of us feeling good is a big plus" he smiled. When Lukas had taken his positon with his hands on Andrew's chest for support, Andrew made sure that their cocks were always touching. He had one hand that lightly held the two loosely. His fingertips touching the back of Lukas' member and his thumb touching the back of his own. This was to keep the two in place. His other hand was resting now on Lukas' side. He waited for a bit before the other started to move his hips, and that pleasure arrived so much faster and more intense. Andrew felt like was going to be loud, so he leaned forwards and pressed his face into the other's shoulder. "God.. I haven't done this in forever. Almost forgot what it felt like.." Heaven. It feels like absolute ecstasy in heaven he thought to himself as his breathing became harsh. Andrew allowed himself to focus his mind on planting kisses along Lucas' chest and neck, being extra careful of the bite mark still apparent on one side. "Should I add another on the other side to match?" he teased, kissing Lukas' throat before his lips hovered over the other side of his neck. Gentle kisses in between his moans. @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/23/2024 19:45
Lukas couldn’t help but smile a bit. Andrew was so focused on pleasing both of them.. it was nice. He kept rolling his hips, grinding their cocks directly on eachother. Soft pants and moans escaped him, and he leaned his head back. Even Andrew’s hand sitting there had added to the pleasure, making Lukas shiver. After a little, he could feel the familiar feeling of release already approaching. His nails dug lightly into the other male’s chest and he whimpered quietly at the soft kisses being left on his neck again. “I wouldn’t mind another. I must taste good.” He teased back. Now, he moved his arms around Andrew’s neck, leaning into him slightly and burying his face in his hair as he picked up both the pace and the roughness of his grinding. His desperation was showing. @Sunfauna

That pleasured feeling continued as he let Lukas do his thing. There was still that deep desire to take control but he knew better to let Lukas have the control tonight. Otherwise there would be more than just grinding. His pleasure came first over his own and boy did that pleasure feel good. "You do. A couple bites of you will really send me. Like a dessert I just want more of" he whispers, nibbling on his earlobe. Andrew felt the other dig his nails into his chest before moving his arms around his neck. The closeness of the other excited the blonde, especially the quiet whimpers and moans. The feeling of Lukas moving faster and harder had caused Andrew's breathing to hitch a bit and then a low growl from his throat and chest. One he didn't mean for the other to hear. The blonde moved his own arms to snake around the others waist, and forced them to swap places. "You must really want to cum, don't you?" Andrew teased as he pressed himself very close to the other, making sure to align their cocks so their undersides faced before locking them in. "Let me have some fun. Just relax.." Andrew whispered, planting a passionate kiss onto Lukas lips before pulling away and nestling his face into the brunette's neck and began to roll his hips at about the same roughness and quickness of the other. His skin felt like fire and his breathing was heavy mixed with lots of moaning that happened to muffle quite well into Lukas shoulder but still loud enough for the other to hear. @Angel

Lukas had wanted to lean back a bit, to be able to give himself more ease when it came to moving his hips, but it seemed that Andrew had other plans. The growl caught him off guard, but despite that, it gave him butterflies in the pit of his stomach. It was hot. A gasp left him at the sudden switch, making his eyes widen in surprise. “I-I do, I want to, please.” He responded, once again grabbing at the sheets. Relax? How I am supposed to relax like this?! he thought as he returned the kiss. Lukas’ eyebrows furrowed as his face twisted in pleasure. Lukas couldn’t help the moans and whimpers that escaped him, and he realized how loud he’d gotten at one point. He had to cover his mouth to avoid being too loud. “A-Andrew-“ he panted between moans. “I can’t last much longer-“ he could feel that feeling above his cock intensifying, and the friction was making it do so even faster. He moved his hands to wrap around the blonde’s back, digging his nails in rather roughly. @Sunfauna

Andrew Bishop BOT 03/24/2024 01:56
Hearing that response only fueled the blonde's lust. "How can I refuse when you ask for it like that?" he said, a twisted grin of delight and pleasure on his face. The male rested his hands on either side of Lukas on the bed, rolling his hips much faster now. He could also feel that pleasure in him, that desire to release. So he worked that much harder for it. The nails digging into his back, clawing at his skin, it felt divine. Almost as much as hearing those sweet moans from Lukas who was trying desperately to keep quiet. "I like hearing you.. I want to hear more when you cum. So please, let it all out for me" he teased. His own moans of pleasure tickled the brunette's ears as he felt that sudden rush in his groin coming. I'm almost there, just a bit more He rolled his hips harder this time and then.. he felt it. That sweet release caused his body to tense up, and the moan he had to suppress from it had caused Andrew to bite down harshly on the other side of Lukas' neck. Indeed, matching marks. The bite was deep, and this one also drew quite a bit of blood. His moan was muffled in the male's neck as he shivered, letting cum from the both of them hit their abdomens. He stayed like that for a bit, trying to catch his breath. Pulling away from the brunette's neck, he looked down at him with a tired but satisfied smile. "Sorry, got a bit carried away" @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/24/2024 02:07
The speed was intense, making Lukas dig his nails in deeper. He was sure he even drew blood. Andrew’s words from earlier came back to him. I don’t think that’d look good for tomorrow. Even if he wasn’t covered in marks, the two bites and Andrew’s scratches would be enough for everyone to get a hint. Eventually, Lukas couldn’t keep himself quiet. Even from behind his hands his moans were extremely audible. God, I hope no ones near.. Andrew’s words of encouragement and praise sent chills throughout the brunette’s body, and he started to arch his back a bit as he could feel it coming. “I-I-!” He couldn’t even start his sentence before he could feel his entire body tensing and shaking as he came, throwing his head back in pleasure. “F-Fuck-“ he cursed in response to the sudden pain that radiated from the second bite that Andrew had administered. This one was deeper, burned more, but still brought the same amount of strange pleasure as the first. When he finally came down, he relaxed his whole body as he tried to catch his breath. At the other males apology, he shook his head. “N-No no, I liked it.. a lot..” The second bite throbbed at his neck, and he could feel the warmth of the blood flowing down the side of his neck. He had to sit up to avoid getting it on his pillow. He lightly touched a couple fingertips to it, pulling it back to look at the blood. “Damn, Andrew..” he mumbled, but had a smile on his face. @Sunfauna

The blonde stared at the new bite mark, watching it draw blood as it dripped slowly down the other's neck and chest. "S-Shit.. Sorry.. I-" but he stopped himself, staring into the male's silver eyes before leaning over to plant a soft kiss to his lips. "We should treat them before they get infected.. oh, and clean up.." he stared at the mess on both of them, giving a small laugh. Sitting up now, Andrew moved off of the bed and searched around for his towel that he had used earlier when he showered. He found it laying on his suitcase and went ahead to use it to clean up both aftermaths on the two. Looking at the clock, it should be well past the time for anyone to be awake. "We can head to the bathroom to wash up. You guys keep bandages and stuff in there too, right? I can help treat you after we shower.." he offered, hoping the other was okay with that. The bathroom wasn't far from this room so they could easily sneak over. @Angel

Lukas glanced up at Andrew just as he’d apologized. He went to respond but didn’t in time before the kiss. He blinked a couple of times and tilted his head. “Andrew, it’s okay.” He said softly. In the heat of the moment, he assumed the blonde hadn’t realized how hard he’d bitten. But Lukas would let him do it all over again. When he mentioned the “mess” Lukas’ face flushed red before he looked down to witness the aftermath of their little.. experience. Both of their cum mixed together on their stomachs was something he’d never imagined he’d see. Once he was cleaned up, he stood up. “Yeah, there’s first aid in there.” He said, grabbing a hold of Andrew’s hand. He walked to the door and unlocked it before opening it. He peeked his head out. No one. He rushed over to the bathroom with Andrew in tow before they got into it. He locked the door again - not because of what it hinted, but because he genuinely didn’t want someone to possibly walk in, no matter how unlikely. He made his way to the shower and turned the water on. The tub was definitely big enough for both males to fit. Lukas climbed in first, immediately climbing under the water and closing his eyes as it ran over him. The first droplets to hit the bite marks made him wince a bit, but still - he didn’t regret them at all. @Sunfauna

Hearing Lukas accept his apology and saying it was okay still made the other a bit more worried that he'd gone too far. He was afraid that maybe Lukas didn't like what was done to him, at least that was his mindset for right now. At the mention of cleaning up, seeing the look on Lukas face was one that made him smile a bit. That bit of embarrassment from him was kind of cute. Now that I think about it, a bit more of my feelings have come out after all that.. they're stronger now, certainly. Not like before when I was uncertain about how I felt. I know.. now.. that I truly do love Lukas He was pulled from his thoughts when he found that Lukas had grabbed his hand, pulling him towards the door. Wait, we're still naked! he thought as the door was unlocked. The blonde watched as Lukas peered out into the hallway then promptly pulled him towards and into the bathroom, locking it behind them. Geez, sometimes he really does get the courage for some of the most random things Andrew's eyes followed Lukas who went to go turn on the water for a nice bath. The tub looked to be enough for them both. Was Lukas planning on the two sharing it? Well.. it will save water.. While Lukas managed that, Andrew's attention focused on finding a first aid kit which he managed to locate in the cabinet under the sink. Taking it out and setting it on the counter, he opened it to find some antiseptic wipes and some large bandages. There was also gauze that he could use. I'll have to administer this after the bath, don't want the bandages to get wet.. "Does it hurt?" Andrew asked as he turned his head to witness the brunette wince at even the slightest drop of water on the wounds. "I have a hard time controling myself, I'm sorry if you hated it.." he said, walking over to slip in behind the other male in the tub. @Angel

“Did you find it?” Lukas asked as Andrew climbed in, looking at him. He figured the blonde would just assume he was talking about the first aid kit. Then, he tilted his head as Andrew asked if they hurt. He shrugged his shoulders. “I mean.. yeah, but that much is expected.” He smiled, turning to face the other. “It’s okay, really.. I’m really into it, actually..” it was interesting, finding out all the things he was interested in in one night. He was sure there was more, had to be. Maybe he could take some online quizzes or something.. Lukas took his time showering. Fatigue was slowly creeping up on him like a snake. He was slow in washing his hair and his body - where he avoided his newfound markings - and he even helped Andrew wash up before they finished. He climbed out, grabbing a towel and handing it to the other before grabbing his own and began to dry himself off. Then, he wrapped the towel around his waist before sitting on the sink. “Okay, nurse Andrew. Patch me up.” He teased. The bleeding had mostly stopped, the second bite still had a tad bit of blood leaking out. When Andrew started cleaning it, Lukas’ tensed a bit as it stung, seething through his teeth. @Sunfauna

"Yeah, I found it. Was just checking if it had the things we needed. It does, thankfully" he told the other as he joined him. It was nice to relax for a bit, though it seemed that Lukas, despite being all smiles right now looked tired. Which was to be expected given what they had done moments ago. "You're really into it?" the blonde's eyebrows raised in a bit of curiosity. "Didn't think you'd be such a masochist.." he grinned teasingly. "I thought I had you pegged for someone who was well inexperienced and afraid to try anything. Guess you shot that assumption right from me" The two had began washing up, with Andrew getting some help from Lukas. The shower didn't take too long and once they had finished they stepped out to dry themselves off. Andrew secured his towel around his waist before walking over towards Lukas who had taken a seat by the sink. "You say it like you've been to war. I guess with wounds like that, one would think you fought a zombie or something" the male joked. Andrew pulled out a couple of antiseptic wipes, opening the packaging and tilting the brunette's head to one side. "This'll sting a bit.." he gently began wiping the area, and judging by Lukas' reaction it had to have hurt. "At least this was minimal damage.." he told the other before moving the brunette's head to the other side to clean the other wound. "I feel if I was at full energy.. not deprived of sleep.. I'd have done much worse. I hope I'm not too much for you. Sometimes I worry that I might seriously hurt you or something" he admits. Deep down, Andrew genuinely did care for Lukas. He always showed utmost care to his partners. Wait, did he now consider Lukas as his partner? The thought crossed his mind and it made the male freeze for a second, butterflies swarming his stomach. Have I.. truly accepted him? Have I moved on? Shaking those thoughts from his head, Andrew went ahead to take out two large bandages and began to apply each one over the bites. "There we go.. that s

Lukas couldn’t help but giggle at Andrew’s joke, despite the stinging pain coming from the bites that were now disinfected. Minimal damage? Lukas looked curiously at the other, but didn’t question aloud. Does that mean he can do worse? Any other person would be worried about that, but.. Lukas just felt excitement. “If it makes you feel better, we can create a safe word.” He shrugged, only half serious. Lukas knew that if he ever didn’t like something or wanted to stop, Andrew would stop.. that’s just the kind of guy he was. “Plus, the aftercare is nice.” He smiled. That smile faded as Andrew froze. It changed to a look of concern. “Hey, are you alright..?” He asked as the other male put the bandages on. “I don’t mind how they heal.” He stood, grabbing a hold of Andrew’s hand and kissing his cheek before making his way back to the bedroom. In there, he put on a fresh pair of underwear and then just a plain white top before flopping onto the bed. He heaved a heavy sigh as he curled up a bit and closed his eyes, waiting for Andrew. @Sunfauna

"A safe word? True, I suppose that would be a good idea" he said. Thinking to himself now, what would even be a good word to use? He'd never used a safe word before, but maybe Lukas can think of a few to help him out. "The aftercare is a bonus from me. At least it should be. I can be quite a lot to deal with" While tending to Lukas, it seemed the other had taken notice of his hesitation and slight doubt. "Huh? I'm okay. Just thinking about something.. hopefully something good" he smiled faintly. The kiss to his cheek and the holding of his hand seemed to relax the blonde as he was led from the bathroom towards the bedroom again. If Lukas accepts me.. even after what I did to him.. maybe it's okay to let these feelings go. I'll try not to worry as much. He seems to have a lot of confidence in me.. so I should too Back in the bedroom, Andrew put on a fresh pair of boxers along with some comfortable shorts. Those thoughts of how he had behaved earlier came to mind as he crawled into bed next to Lukas, pulling the other close so his chest rested along the other's back. "You know.. I think I did think of a word.. it sounds silly.. but.." he was a bit hesitant on saying the word, but he had to remind himself not to worry too much anymore. He had to trust himself as much as Lukas did. "Heel.. I know you said a word to stop, and Heel is basically the same thing.. I have a hard time controlling myself. Plus-" he paused, staring at the moon outside the window. "-I thought back to when I told you about how I act. You know what you compared me to? A werewolf. Maybe it's not far off.." Andrew could feel his eyelids getting heavy now. His energy was spent and cuddling up with Lukas in bed felt so much nicer than usual. It felt safe. Slowly, his eyes closed and he allowed sleep to finally take him. @Angel

Lukas smiled a bit as he was pulled backwards against the other male. It was warm.. comforting. He also felt safe there. “Heel?” He repeated. It certainly was different… but it fit Andrew so well. Lukas turned a bit to look at the other behind him. “I like it. That’ll be our safe word.” He agreed with Andrew on the fact that Andrew certainly seemed like a werewolf. It was a cute image in his head. He rolled back to where he was facing away again and closed hsi eyes, snuggling close to the blonde. He was out within moments, exhaustion taking over. When morning came, he regretted the way he was laying. The window shone right into his eyes, making him groan and shift to roll over. When he did so, he found Andrew’s chest and he buried his face into it, trying to find sleep again. The bite marks from the night before were throbbing. @Sunfauna

Andrew slept rather heavily throughout the night. All the energy he had used was gone, so sleeping really helped revitalize the male. He could feel Lukas shifting in his sleep, rolling over to bury himself into the blonde. Andrew groaned, not liking that he was starting to wake up. He pulled the other closer to him, his arms wrapped firmly around the other. The rising and falling of his chest and his calm heartbeat helped lull the blonde back to sleep. He stayed asleep for maybe another hour or so until he shifted a bit, rolling towards the edge of the bed and falling off onto the floor, taking Lukas with him. His back hit the floor causing Andrew to wake up, a heavy exhale as the air was knocked out of his lungs for that split second. "Shit.. That hurt.." he growled before looking down to see Lukas on him. It caused the blonde to blush before he sat up, rubbing the back of his neck. "Did you sleep okay?" he asked, not really in a sweet way more of a 'annoyed to be awake' way. Still not a morning person by any means. Andrew could feel his stomach growling but he didn't really want to get up off the floor just yet. @Angel

As he felt Andrew’s arms wrap tightly around him, Lukas was able to fall back to sleep. However, that didn’t last long, since he found him suddenly woken up by a falling feeling with a harsh landing. He felt himself land on top of the other, snapping him awake as he sat up on him quickly. “Wh-“ he made a confused noise as he looked around. When Andrew sat up, Lukas stayed in his lap - but not on purpose. He was just still tired, and didn’t really process the fact that he was in Andrew’s lap. “Eh..” he responded, leaning forward back into Asher’s chest, closing his eyes. He probably could’ve very well passed back out then and there, if it weren’t for the sudden loud excited knocking. It made him jump and sit up again, a sigh leaving him. He was tired and frustrated, but not as much as Andrew presumably was. Lukas had seen him without sleep, and he could tell he hadn’t slept well himself. “Lukasssss!” Lily’s shrill voice came through the door. “Cmon we’re gonna leave for the springs soon!” Right, the journey is almost a 3 hour trip.. @Sunfauna

Andrew winced a bit at hearing Lily's voice on the other side of the door. Damn, she's so loud even in the morning.. What a bother the male thought to himself. A sigh left his lips as he worked on trying to stand up, using the bed for support. "She mentioned the springs.. that's today? I can't remember if you told me about them or not.. Then again.." he groaned, finally getting himself to stand up, "My head is pounding.." he sighed. The male extended a hand to help the other up off the floor. Best to look presentable at least. Alright.. let's see what I have to wear.. he thought to himself. Andrew settled on a white t-shirt, a dark brown cardigan and a pair of black jeans and boots. a nice autumn outfit. "Okay. I guess I'm decent enough.." @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/25/2024 03:16
Lukas kind of just sat for a moment, until Andrew moved to get up, so he climbed off and sat on the floor. “Yeah.. unfortunately..” he mumbled quietly. Part of him wanted to say screw the springs and stay here and sleep. But the other part of him knew his mother wouldn’t let him get away with that. “We have Tylenol, if you want some.” He said as he took Andrew’s hand and stood up. Then he stretched. God, the bed is so inviting.. He moved to get dressed himself, remembering the bite marks on his neck. His face flushed red. “How am I even gonna hide these..” he mumbled. Surely they had scabbed over by now, but if anyone had asked, how would he even explain? Hopefully they just won’t ask. He put on a neutral colored striped sweater and then brown pants to match. Then he grabbed his backpack and put a couple of towels and his swim trunks in it. “Here, I’ll put yours in here too.” He said, taking Andrew’s and also throwing them in. When they were ready, he took the other males hand and lead him downstairs and out of the house to the car. Once again, they sat in the very back. When they were settled, Lukas immediately rested his head on the blonde’s shoulder and closed his eyes. Taylor turned, glancing at the two and tilting her head. She looked at Andrew and mouthed the words “Did you-?” Silently, motioning to Lukas and then her neck, obviously asking about the bandages. @Sunfauna

"Oh, right.. I almost forgot about those, thanks" he said to Lukas when he saw the male packing his swim trunks. "I just can't think in the mornings.." he admits idly before taking Lukas' hand and leaving the bedroom. The male was right about one thing though, hiding those bandages wouldn't be an easy feat. In fact, it'd be impossible not to notice them. It's not like Lukas could chalk it up to shaving cuts as they were literally on the side of his neck. I'll take full responsibility.. he thought to himself as they descended the stairs and followed the rest of the family outside and to the car. All seemed fine when they had gotten in. Lukas looked like he was going to sleep the entire ride, which honestly, Andrew would have done the same until he locked eyes with Taylor. She was silently asking about the bandages. His face turned a slight shade of pink at it and looked away. You can't avoid the question, dumbass. Just answer her. "Y-Yeah.." Andrew mouthed back silently, not at all proud of the damage he had done to Lukas. That shade on his face only deepened the more he thought about it. @Angel

Lukas was just tired.. He sighed softly through his nose as he relaxed a bit, crossing his arms. The car started moving and they were on their way! Lily was playing on her phone with her headphones in. When Andrew answered Taylor, she giggled a bit behind her hand, which made Lukas open his eyes and look at her with a questioning gaze. He then glanced from her to Andrew and he noticed the embarrassed look he had. “Leave him alone, Tay.” He said quietly, to which she shrugged, whispering back. “Was just curious about your newfound… injuries?” Lukas shrugged. “They’re just.. love bites.” He answered honestly. To him, they didn’t matter that much. He’d enjoyed when they were being inflicted, and even if they stung a bit for a while, he didn’t regret them at all. He’d let Andrew litter him with them. One of his hands snaked over to the other, grabbing a hold of it as he leaned back and stared out the window. He found himself.. not enjoying when others prodded Andrew or made him feel embarrassed. @Sunfauna

Andrew glanced over at Lukas who had woken from his short nap, if it could even be called that. "It's fine, really.." he whispered quietly to Lukas and Taylor. "I got carried away.. that's all.." he admits. Feeling the other snake his hand around to hold his did help relax the blonde. It's not like Taylor was outright asking if they had sex or anything. She just seemed curious about the wounds. But he wasn't going to say that when his parents were literally in the car. "So, were going to a hot spring today? I've never been there" he says to Lukas and Taylor. "I've seen them in shows but never been.." he says, trying to lighten the mood a bit to make sure Lukas didn't get mad at Taylor for anything. I hope this ride is peaceful. I don't know if I can handle the two going at each others throats over something that i'm only.. mildly embarassed about. Right? Just mildly? @Angel

Taylor tilted her head, wondering if she’d rubbed Lukas the wrong way. He just sort of stared out the window while holding Andrew’s hand. To Andrew’s question, Taylor smiled. “They’re nice. Even if it’s cold outside, the spring and the area around it is a bit warmer, so it’s nice. Basically a natural hot tub. Plus, the scenery is really nice!” Lukas glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. Why was he so annoyed with her again? He wasn’t sure. Was he just being protective? Of what? Andrew could handle himself.. Another sigh left him as he closed his eyes and eventually fell asleep again, his head dropping a bit. Taylor looked back again, looking at Lukas then to Andrew. “Are you guys okay?” She asked quietly, once again keeping the conversation between the two of them. @Sunfauna

Andrew Bishop BOT 03/25/2024 15:37
Seeing the way Lukas was acting did seem strange for sure. He had to be protective of the other. Or maybe.. it was jealousy? The idea of Lukas getting jealous was a sight for sure but that didn't mean it was a definitive answer. Andrew listened to Taylor as she described the hot springs. A naturally hot place despite the weather being cold. That sounded nice. Once Lukas had dozed back off, Andrew waited a bit before talking to Taylor, keeping his voice very quiet or barely audible when talking to her. "Yeah. Nothing's wrong between us. I'm not sure why he's acting like this" the blonde admits, glancing at Lukas sleepy face. "You think it's.. jealousy?" @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/25/2024 19:36
Lukas stayed asleep this time, his grip on Andrew’s hand loosening slightly. Taylor frowned a bit. “Jealousy..? Maybe.. I’ve never seen him jealous before so I wouldn’t know.. what would he be jealous about?” She wondered out loud as he put her hand on her chin and propped it on the armrest with her elbow. “Or maybe he’s just grumpy.” She shrugged. “I don’t know, he’s been kind of snappy with me the past couple of days.” She turned back around, deciding to play on her phone for the drive. Lukas slept on and off, waking up every now and then to shift positions then go back to sleep. He was clearly worn out from the night before. But when they finally reached their destination, Lily jumped up excitedly, yelling that they were here. Lukas woke up for the last time, glaring at the back of his sisters head before sitting up and rubbing the sleep from his eyes and running a hand through his hair. He looked to the blonde beside him. “Are you ready?” @Sunfauna

Andrew Bishop BOT 03/25/2024 21:25
Andrew glanced at Lukas' sleeping face a moment as he thought about it. She has a point, he doesn't really seem to be jealous.. I wonder why he's so moody. I could ask him about it later. At least when he's in a better mood. I don't wanna make him worse by asking now The drive continued on in silence after that little talk. Andrew was on his phone for a bit, responding to texts from his manager asking how the trip was as well as discussing potential shoots when he was to return. Already lining up more work for me when I get back, huh.. he thought before clicking his phone off. Do I even wanna continue working? The thought of going back to modeling was something he had accepted given his past. But, since this week has been quite a rollercoaster of emotions, he was wondering if he should stray from his job and try something new. Something that wasn't so stressful. When the car arrived, Lily's voice seemed to have awoken the male sleeping against him. "Well good morning sleeping beauty" he teased to Lukas with a smile, planting a kiss on his forehead. "I'm about as ready as I'll ever be.." @Angel

Lukas’ eyes widened just a bit as his cheeks turned pink from the gentle kiss and the tease. It did make him smile a bit. When the two girls got out, Andrew and Lukas followed. When they got out, Judith smiled. “It’s just a bit of a walk, but it’s so worth it!” And they went. They had to hike up a trail, which took quite a bit. Lukas kept a hold of Andrew’s hand. He wasn’t very talkative. Lily and Taylor walked ahead, chatting. They already had their swimsuits on under their clothes, so they were talking about being excited about getting right in. Lukas fiddled with the end of his shirt as he was lost in thought. He was having trouble - while his feelings felt very real, he was a little nervous about something. Did Andrew say he had feelings just to get into bed with me? He hadn’t told the other, but he had a nightmare the night before about that exact scenerio. So right now, he wasn’t sure if Andrew’s actions were of actual interest, or if he was continuing the fake narrative. They made it to the springs with plenty of time to spare. It wasn’t busy at all - in fact, it was like they had the whole thing to themselves. Lily ran back to Andrew, excited to show him. “There’s 4 different springs! They’re all different temperatures, which is like, so cool.” She giggled, pointing at which one was which. “That one’s cold, that one’s cool, that one’s warm, and that one’s hot.” Lukas found himself glaring at his sister again. This time, she noticed. “What’s your deal, grumpy pants?” She asked. Lukas narrowed his eyes a bit and let go of Andrew’s hand to just walk towards the changing rooms. @Sunfauna

The hike up the hill to the springs was quite a bit but it wasn't too much of an issue for Andrew. He was more focused on trying to figure out why Lukas was having such mood swings. It was like trying to solve a puzzle or something. I wonder if he's not feeling well. I did kind of spring all that on him.. but he helped me get a better idea of my feelings for him. I hope he knows that. Andrew glanced at Lukas, noticing the male fiddling with his shirt. He's doing that thing again.. he's thinking about something.. the blonde thought to himself. Making it to the top, Andrew found that the hot springs here were more of like a little retreat or hotel stop the hill. A great place honestly especially for his type of business. Lily came over, excited about the springs and began telling him about them. There were apparently four different temperatures which was nice. "Neat. I might stick to the warmer ones. I don't know about the actual hot one though. Could be fun to try them all" he comments. Though he noticed Lukas narrowing his eyes at his own sister. He's doing it again.. The male slowed a bit as Lukas let go of his hand and went to the changing rooms. Lily was only being nice.. is it really jealousy? If this keeps up he's gonna end up ruining the trip with his mood alone Andrew picked up the pace and headed for an empty changing room, stripping down and putting on his swim shorts. They happened to also have Koi Fish designed on them of various patterns and colors. If he does it one more time, I'm gonna confront him.. Andrew left the changing room, waiting for Lucas. His towel draped around his shoulders. He tied his hair up into a high bun to keep it from getting wet. @Angel

Once in the changing rooms, Lukas dragged his hands down his face as he sighed. He was letting all of these thoughts get to him, and he was getting frustrated at everyone else but Andrew. He couldn’t keep snapping at everyone. Deciding to shake it off, he changed into his swim trunks. They were a basic black pair. He didn’t wear them enough for him to really care. Then, he walked out to the sink and mirror and removed his bandages. The bites weren’t too bad, just scabbed over. When he walked back out, he didn’t see Andrew, since the other had walked into the changing rooms after, so he decided to wait. When Andrew joined him, he took his hand. He was hesitant. If Taylor had brought up the bandages, would someone bring up the bites? He made his way to the warm spring, preferring that one over the others. “This one’s my favorite.” He told Andrew before letting go of him and stepping in. No one else was in it. As he sank down into it, he shivered and basked in the warmth. It felt like he was finally easing up a bit. Or at least, he was. Lily and Taylor had been whispering and giggling, a little further away. Suddenly, together, they ran over and both jumped into the spring, splashing water all over Lukas and Andrew. Lukas hadn’t expected it, gasping and inhaling a bit of the water since it was unexpected. He stood up, using his hands to get the water out of his face while the girls resurfaced and started to giggle. “Did that help your mood, Lu?” Taylor giggled. Lukas just kind of stared, fists clenched. @Sunfauna

Andrew found Lukas finally, seeing the male in his swim trunks. I won't lie, black is slimming.. And it looks good on him he thought as he went to take his hand. He noticed that the bandages were removed, reveal the scabbed over bites. Well, they look like they'll heal okay The blonde found that Lukas was leading him towards the warmer waters, saying it was his favorite. "Warm waters are nice, I admit" he tells the other as he joins him in the spring. I could literally sleep in here.. he thought, sitting himself down and relaxing. Just as Andrew was about to open his mouth to say something to Lukas, he found the two girls had ambushed them. They had splashed water all over the two during their attempt to help Lukas. If anything, it seemed to only irritate the male. "Taylor.." Andrew said, looking to her with eyes that clearly said 'Don't.' "Hot springs aren't really a place to play. It's a place to relax. Why don't you give Lukas some time? Please?" he told the two girls. I don't know if they'd even listen to me, but.. I have to at least try before Lukas loses his temper.. @Angel

Lukas wanted to yell at them, to push them over the edge into the cooler spring below. But, he didn’t. He didn’t even really have a chance to say anything before Andrew’s voice spoke up beside him. He felt his shoulders relax and his fists unclench a bit. Taylor’s face dropped a bit. There was a moment of silence, then Lily spoke up, scoffing. “I don’t know what your deal is, but it’s a real mood killer, Lukas.” She stood up, walking past him and out of the spring to head to a different area. Taylor just kind of stood there for a moment, looking from Andrew to Lukas, then to Lily before following her out. Lukas took a deep breath before pushing his now wet hair back on his head. Neither of them asked about the bites at least. He mumbled, taking his spot back on the little ledge that acted like a seat in the water. @Sunfauna

Andrew wasn't sure what the outcome would be after he said what he did. Lily of course was acting as she always did. But at least she left. Taylor.. it seemed like she was worried about him. Her hesitation to leave told him that much at least. Maybe.. I should talk to him about it. I don't know if he'd even give me an answer, but I need to know what's going on with him. "Lukas.." Andrew said, quiet for a moment, trying to gather both his thoughts and a bit of courage. "Are you doing alright? I know I don't have a right to pry or anything, so I won't expect an answer.." he started, staring at the top of the water. "But.. I wanna know what's going on inside your head. You seem tense, maybe annoyed.. I dunno." The blonde sank about half his face into the water, just barely touching his nose. He'll probably say that nothing is wrong. I don't want to pester him about it, cause what if that makes him mad at me? Lifting his head from the water he opens his mouth to speak "I'm worried about you. Well, I guess even Taylor is too. Is it.. about me?" he asks, turning his gaze towards the brunette. @Angel

Lukas waved his hands back and forth lightly in the water as he watched them, letting the silence sink in for a moment as he relaxed. The warm water was comforting, engulfing him like a blanket almost. When Andrew spoke up, he looked over. At first, he didn’t know how to answer. He avoided eye contact with him while he tried to think of a way to word things. What is wrong with me? He wondered. After a couple moments, he shook his head. “I… don’t know.” He shrugged lightly. “There’s a lot I guess.. my head has hurt, even just faintly, ever since I hit it.” He started, continuing to mess with the water. “And I’m really tired.. and Lily is just so annoying. I hate when her and Taylor get together because then it’s like she’s more my sisters best friend than she is mine.” He sank into the water a bit. “And.. I don’t know, I guess I’m worried.” The warm water stung at the bite marks. “I.. I know you said your feelings aren’t out yet, but I had a dream last night..” He hadn’t looked at the other this whole time. “You had called everything off after the week was over.. and you said you’d just used me for the .. sex stuff..” he said the last bit quieter than the rest. Part of him knew Andrew would never do that. Right? But that other part was just eating at him.. making him nervous. @Sunfauna

Andrew's eyes softened a bit as he listened to Lukas talk. He talked about the very slight pain from his head due to the fall that happened the other day. He talked about being tired and how his sister was super annoying, how he felt that Lily was taking Taylor from him. Then the final one about a dream he had regarding the two of them. He was stressed. Lukas was stressed. A sigh escaped Andrew's lips as he moved to sit next to Lukas. "Well, I'll tell you what I think about all of that, okay?" he said, looking at the brunette for a bit. "I think.. me football tackling you over a pony wall is going to hurt for a few days. That's why rest is important. I'm sure an ice pack will do wonders for that" he started to say. "Next, you're probably tired after last night. I did push you a bit hard. As for Taylor and Lily.. it's just girls being girls. I'm sure she loves you just as much as you love her. She wants you to have fun. I know siblings can be annoying at times. But.. you should be grateful that you still have yours.." Andrew rested his hand on top of Lukas' slowly snaking his own hand so that the two intertwined, holding hands. "The dream.. is your anxiety. You've never been in a relationship before, right? You're afraid that once you get a bit of happiness it'll get stripped away. It happens to me sometimes too. But, that's why trust is so important in a relationship." He inhaled, thinking a bit and then exhaling. "Think of it like this: I wouldn't have done what I did last night if I didn't like you. If anything, what we did helped me more than you could ever know. I'm grateful to have met you, and I am also grateful about the fake relationship we had planned before. Clearly, it's a real one now. I don't plan on turning my back on you, okay? I'm not leaving you behind." The male raised his other hand that was free, using it to caress Lukas' cheek for a bit. "Besides, what we did last night, that wasn't even sex. I'd count that more as foreplay" he teased. "I wo

Lukas glanced at the other out of the corner of his eye. He felt guilty, not having wanted to take his feelings and frustrations out on everyone else. He knew his head would hurt for a while, but that didn’t make it any less frustrating.. and Andrew was right about the girls. He adored Taylor with his entire being, and he knew she felt the same. She wouldnt have tried to make him smile if she didn’t. Now, the comment about last night, that made his face flush a bit. Andrew was right about everything, and it was nice to hear it from another perspective instead of him arguing with himself in his mind. And then the dream. Andrew was even right about that. “I’m sorry.” He said softly. He felt much better with the other reassuring him. He held onto his hand tightly and rested his head on his shoulder as he closed his eyes. That didn’t last long, as Andrew’s comment about the night before made him sit up with wide eyes. He said in a hushed whisper, “That didn’t count as sex?” He almost sounded naive, but he thought anything sexual counted as sex. His face flushed a bright red at the thought. “O-Okay..” he responded, looking away for a moment. “Thank you.. for listening to me..” his thumb gently rubbed circles against Andrew’s hand. A look around. Taylor and Lily were over in the cool springs. His parents had gone off to hike or something. Lukas looking back at Andrew, pressing their lips together as he squeezed his hand. It was short, but passionate. @Sunfauna

"You're fine, honestly.. If you ever feel stressed, just talk to me. I don't mind listening. I wanna help you the best I can" Andrew said to Lukas, feeling the other rest their head on his shoulder. Of course, after the comment that Andrew had made regarding last night, it seemed that Lukas was surprised by it. "You didn't know?" he raised an eyebrow. "Such a pure mind.." he teased, feeling the small circled rubs on the back of his hand. "All of that is just foreplay. Actual sex is.." he made a gesture with his hands. "..it's different for two guys." Andrew paused, then spoke a bit quieter. "It's the ass, but, I won't embarrass you about it. Like I said, unless I hear it from you personally, I'm not going to do anything like that. I wanna respect you and what you want. Along with however long it takes for you to want or not want it.." Suddenly, Lukas had leaned over and planted his lips on to Andrew's catching the male by surprise. But he accepted it all the same. @Angel

Lukas couldn’t help but smile as Andrew offered to be there for him in the future. It was nice.. knowing someone was there. Back home, he was so used to only having himself. “Pure mind? I’ll have you know, I’ve watched plenty of porn.” He said, crossing his arms before being unable to help but laugh. “I’ve just.. never watched one with guys..” he mumbled after a moment. Why hadn’t he? He supposed it’d be a while since he’d actually watched porn, and the last time he had was way before he knew his actual sexuality. He usually just.. imagined things. Warm wet hands came up to rest on Andrew’s cheeks, even squishing them a bit. “How do you put up with me?” He joked, an overdramatic pout on his lips. He turned his head to peek at the girls in the spring. “What do you say we get revenge?” He turned back towards Andrew, and without waiting for a response, he grabbed his hand and dragged him out of the water. Almost immediately he let go, sprinting to the other spring and jumping in, splashing the girls. He only partially regretted it, as compared to the nice warm spring they were just in, this one was pretty chilly. He came back up with a gasp before he started to shiver. Lily and Taylor were laughing. Seemingly they’d forgotten about earlier, and now proceeded to exact their revenge by trying to splash the boys. @Sunfauna

"Hm, never watched any with just guys, eh? Alright, I'll let it slide for now" he smirked. That smirk however ended up squished as Lukas squished Andrew's cheeks inwards and then outwards. "H-Hey.." he commented, laughing a bit. "Don't stretch out my skin" he pleaded jokingly. "I have a lot of patience when it comes to the person I love.." Andrew glanced over at the girls that Lukas was looking at, coming up with a devious plan to get revenge on the two females. He didn't exactly get a chance to answer as he found himself dragged towards the side of the spring and watched as Lukas jumped into the other one. Except this spring wasn't warm, it was a lot cooler, chilly even. "That's what you get for running headfirst, Lukas" Andrew called out to the male. "Hurry up and get back over here before you catch a cold" he smiled, getting out of the spring and walking over towards Lukas and the girls. He was hesitant for a moment about the cold water before putting his feet in. "Ooh, drastic temperature change.. shit.." he shivered. "You guys like penguins or something?" he joked to the girls. @Angel

Lukas shielded his face from the incoming splashes as he laughed. He attempted to splash them back, but 2 against 1 was rather hard, so he yelled “Okay okay, mercy!” And they let up. He pushed his wet hair back on his head. God, this one’s fucking cold. He shivered more as he made his way to the edge to climb out. Taylor giggled and looked up at the blonde beside her. “It’s more chilly to you guys because you were in the warm one.” She said. She was only sitting on the edge with her legs in, while Lily was fully submerged next to her. “Plus, we’re heading to the little sauna.” She added before standing up. Lukas and Lily both climbed out. Lily looked at her brother. “Wanna tag along?” He thought for a moment before shaking his head. “I kind of wanna sit in the spring for a bit and actually relax.” He smiled. “Your loss~” Taylor teased, elbowing him lightly before walking off with Lily towards the sauna. Lukas laughed and rubbed his side where she’d elbow him. They didn’t mention the bites again.. maybe they just know and don’t bother asking.. Oh well. Lukas turned back towards the other. Now it was just them in the entire springs. “Feel free to continue standing in the chilly spring, I’m going to the warm one again.” He stuck his tongue out playfully before making his way back to the warm spring. He immediately climbed in, letting out a sigh of relief. @Sunfauna

Watching the three have fun made the blonde smile a little. It almost reminded him of him and Mark. The two girls had gotten out of the water with Taylor mentioning they were headed to the sauna. Though it seemed Lukas wanted to relax more in the springs. So the two females left without incident. Andrew followed after Lukas back towards the warmer spring, allowing the water to heat his body back up. No way was he staying in the cold one. Andrew sat himself down in the springs, submerging his body until only his head, shoulders and part of his upper back were barely visible above the water. He closed his eyes for a bit, resting his back along the springs wall. "Alone at last" he sighed contently. @Angel

Lukas smiled as Andrew joined him. He took a moment to just look at him, how he was relaxed. It was very different in comparison to before this little vacation. Back home, everytime they hung out, he seemed stressed about something. Whether that be his modeling gigs or money or anything. It was nice to see him be able to relax. “Hey..” he said softly, moving slowly through the water towards the other. Now they were closer, and he sat beside Andrew while looking directly at him. “Alone huh?” He teased a bit. He was thinking about the blonde’s words earlier; ”I have a lot of patience when it comes to the person I love.” Had he meant Lukas? He .. loved him? It was a strong word, and it make Lukas’ heart flutter. But he didn’t know if the other meant it. @Sunfauna

Andrew's eyes fell on Lukas when he heard the male speak. "Hm?" he sat up a bit, watching the other getting closer to him in the water. Lukas seemed to have attempted to tease Andrew by commenting about them being alone. "Yeah, it's peaceful out here. I like it. Being here with you is a bonus" he smiles. It was nice seeing Lukas more relaxed and happy. Earlier he seemed more irritated and stressed. Granted, Andrew was like that at times too. But that was before him and Lukas were proper friends and more. "What's up?" he asked, noticing the other not saying anything after. Was he thinking? "Something on your mind?" he raised his hand from the water, resting it on the top of Lukas' head as a type of comfort for the other. Andrew had come a long way of not feeling anything to feeling so much. He was glad to have met Lukas, to finally experience love again and to have fun. Before he was a grumpy, serious guy who wanted nothing to do with him. Closed off. It was a lot of work for sure, but he thinks that Lukas played a crucial role in getting those feelings of his over that wall. In fact, it almost felt like he was breaking that wall down. Maybe that's why he was so comfortable around the other? That he could say things easily to him. @Angel

Lukas’ eyes widened a bit as Andrew’s hand found his head and his face flushed a bit. Was the steam getting to him or did Andrew seem.. wildly more attractive than usual? He cleared his throat and shook his head, but stayed still otherwise. “No, I’m okay.” He said softly. Andrew had changed in the course of their little relationship, and not just the romantic one either. Lukas felt like he’d made a real friend with him, and even though they were dating now, it was clear that Andrew genuinely enjoyed having him around too. “Actually..” he said, sitting up a bit. “Uhm.. earlier..” he didn’t have anything to focus on fiddling with with his hands, making it hard to think of how he wanted to word things. “Earlier, before I ran to the other springs.. you… you said.. uhm..” his face darkened out of embarrassment. “You said the.. L word..” @Sunfauna

Andrew Bishop BOT 03/26/2024 22:27
Andrew's attention focused entirely on Lukas. The way he flushed when the blonde had rested a hand on his head made Andrew smile a bit. So cute he thought. He would have returned to relaxing some more until Lukas spoke up again, making the male turn his gaze to Lukas with a quizzical look. "Hm?" The other seemed rather hesitant to speak his mind. Why was he so nervous? "The 'L' word?" he questioned, thinking for a moment. He rested his back against the spring's wall, a hand on his chin to think. He tried to think back to what he said, but it was difficult to remember that far back. Until it finally hit him. "Are you referring to when I said I had a lot of patience?" he asked. Now that he thought about it, he never explicitly said he loved Lukas. He always said like. So the fact that this slipped out, could it mean.. Andrew's face flushed as he turned away from the other, realizing what Lukas was asking about. "Y-Yeah. I guess it sort of slipped.. I just feel more comfortable around you than usual.." he started to say, rubbing the back of his neck. "I didn't want to say it until I was absolutely sure but.. I guess my heart already knows.." he said the last part quietly to himself before turning to face Lukas. "What I said is true. I do love you, Lukas.." @Angel

Lukas fell silent as Andrew was busy trying to think of what he was talking about. Should I have said anything? I didn’t mean to embarrass him.. He found himself something to mess with - the end of his swim trunks. He fiddled with it with one hand as he watched the other. “Yeah - you said you had a lot of patience for the ones you..” he trailed off. For some reason, Lukas was trying to convince himself that he’d made up the whole situation. At least, he’d tried. When Andrew confirmed it, Lukas’ eyes widened and his heart skipped a beat. He kind of just stared at the other like an idiot. While Andrew’s feelings may have taken a while to realize, Lukas felt like his feelings had been stirring for a while, and he’d realized them as soon as he started “dating” the other. “You… you do..?” He said softly, moving closer. He wanted to be as close as possible, climbing onto his lap in the water and cupping his face with both hands while their eyes locked. “You really do?” @Sunfauna

Andrew was taken by surprise by Lukas who seemed to be in awe of the male. "Y-Yeah.." his face started to flush some when the brunette climbed onto his lap. Feeling wet hands holding his face and forced to look into those silvery eyes. It was making his heart pound now, being so close to the other and realizing his true feelings. Hell, he didn't have the courage to pry Lukas off of him right now. It seemed almost like Lukas was surprised by what the other had said. "I'm sorry it took so long" he apologizes, letting his hazel eyes scan Lukas' features. "I just wanted to be absolutely sure before I said it. But, seeing you like this.. makes it all worth it" he grins, before reaching his arms out to wrap around the brunette, holding him close in a tight embrace. "I'll do my best for you, okay? I promise" The last thing Andrew wanted was to not be enough and be discarded. That was his worst fear right now. He was placing his heart into Lukas' hands hoping not to be torn apart. @Angel

Lukas just seemed to stare at Andrew’s eyes, as if searching them. He’s telling the truth. He only broke that eye contact for a moment to look up, looking around as if seeing was someone around. He was seeing if someone was recording, if this was all a prank. His attention was grabbed again when Andrew apologized. He looked at him, and it almost looked like.. there were tears in his eyes? He shook his head wildly for a moment. “No no, it’s okay, it’s okay.” He mumbled quietly. His face lit up red as he was pulled close, and he wrapped his arms around Andrew’s neck tightly in a hug as he buried his face into the side of his head. Both males had similar fears - of being used. Discarded. Lukas felt like his heart was going to pound out of his chest. Could Andrew feel it? “Promise me you’re not messing with me. Just this once and I won’t think it again.” He said, sitting up to lock onto those hazel eyes again. The spring felt like it was getting hotter, but he was sure it was just him. @Sunfauna

Hearing Lukas tell him it was okay made him exhale shakily. The tears he was holding back began to slowly fall from his eyes. He could certainly feel Lukas' heartbeat along with his own. To allow all this stress that he held in his heart to be set free was something he never thought he could do. "You know I don't break my promises, Lukas" Andrew said softly. His eyes glistened with more tears that he was holding back but he let them fall. "I promise, I'm not messing with you. If anything.. I'm grateful" The blonde gently cupped Lukas' face and planted a long, passionate kiss to them. He wanted the other to know his true feelings were indeed true and not fake. "I love you, Lukas" he whispered after pulling away from the kiss and rested his forehead against the others. "I will say.. we've been in here way too long.." he smiled. @Angel

Lukas’ eyes widened as Andrew started to cry. He’d never seen him cry before. “Andrew..” he said softly. He wanted to continue, but he felt the warmth of the other’s lips against his. He sank into them, tilting his head as he did. A soft sigh left his nose. “I.. I love you too..” he’d never said those words to anyone. And for him to be saying them now… it felt unreal. When Andrew suggested getting out, Lukas pouted and shook his head. “Nooo.. a little longer..” he said softly. To be honest, he wanted to be selfish. Being with the other in here alone.. He’d be lying if he said it wasn’t exciting. Not having prying eyes.. and getting to see the other this way. A little sweaty, half naked.. his thoughts started running, and he found himself just staring at the other while fiddling with Andrew’s swimsuit absentmindedly. @Sunfauna

Andrew Bishop BOT 03/27/2024 00:17
Andrew gave a soft smile, nodding his head, "Alright. A little longer.." he said softly back, letting the warm water and the heat radiating from the both of them relax him. "I can't say no when you say it like that.." Being with Lukas like this did feel nice. No prying eyes, just the two of them. Almost like they were the only ones in the world. "What are you doing down there?" he asked, raising an eyebrow at the other when he felt his swimsuit being messed with. "Don't tempt me, Lukas.. That's not nice" he teased, leaning forwards and planting a kiss to his lips. "How are the bites? Do they still sting at all?" he asked after pulling away and glancing at them. "They look okay.." he placed a gentle hand on the wound, his fingertips just barely touching them. "Does it sting?" @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/27/2024 00:21
Lukas jumped a bit as he was pulled from his thoughts. “Sorry-“ he said, immediately letting go of Andrew’s swimsuit before looking away after their kiss with a red face. But Andrew’s teasing only made his thoughts worse. He couldn’t really focus on anything else anymore. He was thinking about the night before, future nights like that.. He couldn’t help it that Andrew was under him, vulnerable to it. “The bites?” He asked, as if he’d completely forgotten they existed. “Oh-“ he flinched a bit when Andrew touched them, but they didn’t hurt - not a lot at least. “If anything, it’s just sensitive..” he said softly. He shrugged. “I don’t know - even if they did, I like the feeling..” He liked pain? That was.. interesting. Of course it was only when it came to sexual terms.. but, he liked it nonetheless. Even now, if they stung a bit, just knowing why they stung was exciting. “I.. wouldn’t mind if you did it again..” he added after a moment of silence. He mumbled it so low, he wasn’t sure if Andrew even picked it up. @Sunfauna

Andrew couldn't help but laugh at Lukas's jump from being noticed. It was still amusing to the blonde how the other was embarrassed for being called out like that. It's not like Andrew was going to yell at him for it, maybe in the past he would have, but now? He just found everything Lukas did as cute or adorable. When he touched the bites, he recoiled the moment Lukas flinched. "Well, I did bite pretty hard.. But, they're scabbing over so just give it some time. At least a few days" he told the other. But Lukas' comment on liking the feeling did surprise him a bit. "Masochist" he teased, holding the other close to him. This allowed Andrew to hear that oh so quiet comment about doing it again, which caused his heart to skip a beat. "Is that so?" he whispered, pulling away slightly to look at him. "You'd allow me to do it again? Does that mean you liked what we did last night?" He was talking about the intimate time that sprang upon the two last night. Clearly Lukas had to have liked the frotting that took place, right? Why else would he mention doing it again. @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/27/2024 01:39
Lukas at least knew what masochism was, but he didn’t know he was a masochist before last night, so the whole situation was still new and making his face redder than a strawberry. “Why do you always have to tease..” he mumbled quietly, avoiding eye contact as he was pulled against the other. “I did like what we did..” he responded, confirming. Last night was definitely unexpected, seeing as they had only planned on making out. His hands absentmindedly moved to Andrew’s sides under the water, gently rubbing them as he thought. “Would you.. want to do that again.. sometime?” He asked. He was speaking at almost a whisper, as if someone could overhear them. But each time silence fell around the two, all that could be heard was the gentle sound of the water moving. His parents were hiking.. the girls were at the sauna… Lukas moved his hands up, gently pushing back Andrew’s hair out of his face while simultaneously wetting it. @Sunfauna

"Because.." Andrew began, leaning towards Lukas ear and whispering "It's my love language" he bit the other's ear lightly before pulling away. Andrew loved teasing Lukas, seeing all the expressions he made fueled him. It was entertaining. "I would hope you did, you sounded like you liked it a lot" he smirked. He felt the other rubbing his sides under the water, and Andrew relaxed some to the touch. His hazel eyes shifted to look into Lukas's silver when he was asked about doing it again. "I can do it whenever you want. Since you liked it so much.. would later tonight work?" he tilted his head a bit, a smile playing on his lips. "This place is a Hot Spring Hotel after all.." He felt the other move his hands to brush back the strands of hair that didn't fit into his tight bun. "I won't do it out here though. Exhibitionism isn't really my thing" he teased, hoping to get a rise out of the male. @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/27/2024 01:54
And a rise Andrew got. Lukas’ face felt like it was on fire. The soft nibble on his ear, the teasing. It all made Lukas’ chest full of butterflies and unable to find a proper rebuttal. He’d almost regretted asking Andrew the question. “Tonight-?” He asked, a little surprised as he tensed, his shoulders rising a bit. “I mean.. I..” he fumbled over his words. Out here? Why would he think I’d-? Lukas took a moment to collect himself as he shook his head before locking eyes with the other. “What, you don’t want a little thrill?” He teased back, smiling a bit. “Don’t wanna show off a bit?” At this point, Lukas wanted to get a rise out of the other, as revenge. He pressed himself against him, even going so far as to lightly press his hips into Andrew’s, but only for a moment before climbing off his lap. “If you say so~” @Sunfauna

The laugh that escaped the blonde was a genuine one. One he couldn't contain even if he tried. "Oh gosh, I never get tired of seeing that face" he grinned. "I'm just joking. You know I'd only do it if you ask. Besides, last night was probably a bit much for you anyway. You're still tired, right?" he asked. Hearing the brunette trying to tease him back however did cost a smirk from the blonde. "As much as I'd like to, I value not going to jail. Plus, I'd rather nobody see you like that but me" That last comment sounded more possessive than anything. "I can wait though. However long until you wanna try it again. I'm patient with you, okay?" he raised a hand and patted Lukas' head once more. "Plus, I've got my energy back, it'd be a lot more intense than last night. Trust me" he winked. "So I don't wanna put you through that until your sure that you want to.." @Angel

Andrew’s laugh made Lukas smile, and wide. It was cute. Lukas wanted to hear it more often.. he sat down on the little seat in the water again and leaned back, closing his eyes. “A bit much?” He asked. Was it? “I mean.. it was a lot, but I think you’re underestimating me.” He opened his eyes again and looked at him. His teasing had no effect on the blonde apparently. However, the others teasing on him? It worked effortlessly. Especially when he came off as possessive. “Oh, is that so?” He responded, tilting his head at the possessive comment. No one but you, huh… The steam was starting to get to him a bit. But he didn’t want to get out, not yet. He had gotten a little.. worked up from his thoughts earlier. And it didn’t help that he was still having some. At this point, he was thinking about all the different things he wanted to try with the other. “I’m sure I want to. There’s.. a lot of things I wanna figure out if I like or not..” he responded honestly. If I’m into masochism, what else could I be into..? @Sunfauna

Andrew Bishop BOT 03/27/2024 02:20
"Am I now?" Andrew smiled, watching the other climb off of him and take a seat next to him in the water. "I was tired last night, so I feel I could have done more damage.." he let his hands rest in his lap now while he got his thoughts together. "I also didn't want to scare you off. But.. if you think what happened last night wasn't too much, then I'll trust you. I was trying to hold back after all" he admits. At the mention of wanting to do things with Andrew, he seemed to want to try out different things. Things he didn't know if he'd like or not. "Well, tell me. What stuff do you watch? Anything you watch the most of that catches your attention?" he asks openly. "There are things I haven't done either, so I'd be down with trying them with you.." he smiled. "Just name what you wanna do next" I'm glad that he's feeling good about all this. I want him to be comfortable with me. I also still need to learn to control myself too. But, I think Lukas is helping me plenty with that.. @Angel

“Do me a favor. Don’t hold back next time. We have a safe word for a reason. I wanna see what I can handle..” he said. Andrew? Scare him off? No way. Lukas was in this for the long run. And he had things he wanted to learn. “I don’t know… I haven’t watched porn since like.. ninth grade? And even then, it was boring straight porn.. like the basic babysitter shit.” He admitted honestly. He wasn’t too embarrassed about it. It was normal teenage stuff. But now.. what did he like watching? “I think it’s easier to ask you what you watch. Try out what you like first, and then maybe we can like.. watch videos or something to see what we wanna try..” he shrugged. “For now, what I wanna do next is get out of here.” He smiled at Andrew before climbing out. The cool winter air was actually welcome. “The hotel has a restaurant, are you hungry?” He’d changed the subject rather easily, but it’s not like they were gonna do stuff now. @Sunfauna

"True, if it gets out of hand you can just tell me to 'heel' " he winked at Lukas in a teasing fashion. "I will say though, that what you tell me isn't surprising. You had no idea about frotting until last night" he admits. "Which means there is a lot of stuff you don't know about. I'd say we could try actual sex since you seem to find that part so boring" he smiled. "What do you think?" At the mention of food, Andrew's face lit up. "Oh please.. I've been starving over here" he laughs. "I wish we had breakfast before coming here, but we were in such a rush.. Plus, you didn't wanna get out of the water, so I had to suffer and endure.. so cold" he said playfully before getting himself out of the springs. The cold air was biting at his skin but the sooner they got dressed and ate the happier he would be. @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/27/2024 14:16
Lukas’ face flushed a bit at Andrew’s suggestion, but he chose to ignore it. He didn’t find the frotting boring in the slightest, but he wouldn’t admit that. He wasn’t gonna give Andrew the satisfaction. So he left it with a simple nod of his head. He made his way to the changing room and grabbed his bag on the way to change. He gave Andrew a towel before going into his own little stall to dry off and change back into his sweater and pants. When he was done, he waited for Andrew before taking his hand and walking to the hotel. It wasn’t far from the springs, thankfully. The cold had started to get to the brunette. It wasn’t super busy, just like the diner a couple days ago. No one should recognize Andrew here.. hopefully. They were sat rather quickly, and instead of sitting across from him, Lukas sat right next to him instead, grabbing his hand again. “This place has like.. Italian.. I think..” he said, mostly to the air while opening the menu to look at it. When the waitress came by, he got a water for now. Then when she was gone, he turned and looked at Andrew, just admiring him for a moment before speaking. “Are you having fun? Here, I mean. Like on the vacation, with me?” @Sunfauna

Seeing Lukas only react slightly but not how he wanted him to made him wonder what he was thinking about. Not gonna amuse me, eh? Oh well.. he thought to himself. The two climbed out of the springs, with Lukas handing Andrew his towel that he used to dry off as he made his way to the changing rooms with Lukas. It would be nice to eat for sure, just thinking about it made his stomach growl in desperation. Quickly, he got dressed, letting his hair free from the tight bun and redoing it into his usual style. With that done, he left the changing rooms and found Lukas, stuffing the towels and bathing shorts away in their bags. His hand was taken by the other as he was led along. They hadn't talked much after the springs until they were inside the hotel's little restaurant. Andrew found the two of them sitting next to each other instead of across, which he didn't mind. Looking at the menu before then he was trying to decide what he wanted to get. "Italian, huh?" The male tilted his head a bit to think only for his thoughts to be interrupted by Lukas. "Having fun? Yeah. I'm having a lot of fun. It's not my kind of scene, obviously but.." he turned his head to look at the brunette, "I think with you around, things are a lot more fun" @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/27/2024 22:06
Lukas smiled a bit. All of his anxieties about the other tricking him were slowly fading with every interaction they had. He finally let go of his hand in order to better handle the menu. The waitress stopped by with breadsticks before departing again. “Oo..” he hummed, grabbing one and taking a bite before looking at Andrew. “Do you like Italian?” The questions he was asking seemed rather boring, but he was asking them to better get to know the other. “I think.. I’m just gonna get chicken Alfredo..” he thought aloud, closing the menu before leaning back in the seat to eat more of the breadstick in his hand. When the waitress came by for their order, she took it before taking up the menus and disappearing again. Lukas leaned over, resting his head on Andrew’s shoulder. “We should go to the springs again in the springtime. It’s not as cold and the water is more enjoyable.” @Sunfauna

Andrew Bishop BOT 03/27/2024 22:18
Andrew looked through the menu, trying to see what he wanted to eat. "I'm not opposed to Italian.." he started, staring at the different options. "I like the pasta, but that's about it" he admits, setting the menu down. When the waitress came by, Andrew spoke out his order, "Pasta Bolognese" before letting her take the menus and leaving. Andrew glanced at Lukas from the corner of his eye, seeing him with the breadstick before leaning over to snatch it with his mouth without warning. "Partner tax" he says teasingly before grabbing one for himself. "Yeah? I'd visit here again. It's pretty out here" he responds. "I had a friend who used to live out here. He mentioned how he loved going to the springs with his girlfriend.. I guess he must have meant this place" he said, resting his head against Lukas in return. "I think he mentioned to me last week that he'd be here during the holiday.." @Angel

Lukas’ eyes widened as Andrew snatched his breadstick. It caught him off guard, making him freeze for a moment in shock before laughing. He simply grabbed another one. “Ok ok, but I don’t owe anymore after that.” He joked. He relaxed a bit against the other. Both male’s hair was still a bit wet, so the feeling of their heads together was cold. “Hm?” He sat up a bit to look at Andrew and spoke in between bites. “A friend? That’s cool - maybe we’ll run into him.” He said. Of course he didn’t think that would actually happen. Andrew could’ve gotten the dates wrong. Or it could be another resort entirely. It didn’t take long before dinner had arrived. It looked so good, Lukas said thank you to the waitress before immediately diving in. It was just as good as it looked, and it warmed him up from the inside out. @Sunfauna

Andrew sat up some when the waitress came by with their food. Once she had left, he began to dig into his own, finding it tasting really really good. "Yeah, he's a friend from high school. Great guy, maybe I'll introduce you some-" his words were cut off when he felt a pair of eyes on him. He looked around the restaurant, not seeing anybody until he felt a tap on his shoulder. Instinctively he swung his arm back but it was caught. "Nice try, Andy. You know it's rude to swing at old friends" the male grinned. "Ah, speak of the devil and he shall appear.. Jamie. How goes it? I see you brought Skye with you" Andrew said, getting out of his seat to give a hug to both. Jamie was a bit shorter than Andrew, but taller than Skye. His hair was jet black with brown eyes. Skye had auburn colored hair and blue eyes. They took a seat across from Andrew and Lukas. "Well, I did tell you we'd be coming by this week! Did you think I lied about that?" Jamie grinned. "Is this your boyfriend you told me about? Pretty cute" "Come on, don't go saying such things about other people's partners, dude" Andrew sighed, returning to munching on his food. "You say that, but we had the best time after you broke off with Chris.." the male shrugged. "It was a low point of my life, can we not talk about this while we're eating?" Jamie waved his hand dismissively, "Fine, I'll let it go. So, what brings you two to the springs today?" he rested his elbows on the table, his arms propped up for his chin to rest on his hands. @Angel

Lukas glanced at Andrew out of the corner of his eye when he suddenly stopped talking. “Huh-?” He went to ask him to continue but jumped a bit as someone was suddenly standing with them. “Jamie” Andrew spoke the new guy’s name, and Lukas put down his fork and paused eating for a moment to look at the couple, who seemed to make themselves comfy and just join them at the table. He found himself just staring at them for a moment. Jamie certainly was good looking, and so was Skye. They made an attractive couple. He was pulled from his thoughts as Jamie suddenly called him cute. It wasn’t just a compliment, but.. definitely a sort of tease almost. It made Lukas’ cheeks faintly turn red - but not from the flattery. He pulled his hands from the table, putting them in his lap. He wasn’t going to scarf down food in front of strangers. Thankfully, Andrew stood up for him which helped him relax a bit - but that didn’t last for long. Then Jamie hinted at having something between him and Andrew. Lukas didn’t react on the surface, not facially. Instead, it suddenly felt like his chest was on fire - in a painful burning way. His throat felt dry for a moment, so he sipped at his water before returning his hands to his lap, now beginning to fiddle with the ends of his shirt sleeves. What is that supposed to mean? The best time? How is his girlfriend not upset about that comment? Lukas had never felt jealousy over a partner before.. his mind was racing. How far did they go? What did they do? I’m inexperienced, how could Andrew like anything I do compared to Jamie? “So, what brings you two to the springs today?” The sentence caught his attention for some reason. Lukas cleared his throat and answered. “Just.. visiting for fun with my family.” He said. His voice seemed almost.. shaky, despite trying to hide it. @Sunfauna

"Visiting? Well I hope you two have been enjoying yourselves. The springs are wonderful this time of year" Skye spoke up, a soft smile on her lips as her blue eyes scanned Andrew for a moment and then Lukas who seemed unsettled about something. "Hey, did you guys try out the massages they have here? It's the best!" Jamie grinned widely. Andrew picked at his pasta a moment, smiling faintly. "I haven't had one of those in a long time" he admits. "Well, after you've been busy with your damn modeling job, you stopped coming by to the clinic.." Jamie sighed, reaching for a breadstick and taking a bite. "That's cause I don't like getting noticed, Jamie. But you do give the best fullbody massages I know. So.." Jamie happened to be a masseuse that Andrew often went to back when he was just starting out as a model. All the stress at the time was easily relieved with Jamie's great handiwork. Skye continued to stare at Lukas before gently nudging him with her foot under the table. "You doing okay, hun? You don't sound too good" The blonde turned his gaze from the two across from him to Lukas. "You okay?" he asked softly, resting a hand on top of the others' in his lap. "Are you upset about something?" @Angel

“Yeah, it’s been nice.” Lukas replied. Skye seemed nice enough at least.. maybe she was too innocent.. or maybe Lukas was overreacting? Even if he tried to convince himself, his chest only hurt more as they just kept going on and on.. Why am I reacting like this? They’re just reconnecting. He shook his head in response to the question about massages. He hadn’t had a massage in what seemed like.. well, ever. But Andrew on the other hand.. Oh great, he massaged him too. He found that fire in his chest burning more as the interactions continued. The nudge caught him off guard. He looked up at Skye then to Andrew. Suddenly all the attention was on him and he shook his head. “I’m fine.” That snappy tone from that morning had returned. “Just, not hungry anymore.” An obvious lie. He hadn’t eaten all day just like Andrew had, and he’d only had a couple of bites. “Seriously, I’m fine.” He repeated it. It was like he was trying to convince himself. He pulled away from Andrew, standing as he mumbled a quiet, “Excuse me.” Before turning and making his way to the bathroom. @Sunfauna

Watching the other slink off, Andrew had half a mind to go after him but Jamie grabbed his wrist, making him sit back down. "Let him cool off on his own. You don't need to coddle him" Jamie said with a small smile. Andrew took his hand back, staring in the direction Lukas had went. "Is he upset?" he questioned. "More like jealous. I could see it on his face the entire time you two were talking" Skye responded. "I don't know why, we were just talking-" but he stopped himself, remembering the conversation. "Shit.. He thinks we were probably a thing.. I should-" "-No you don't" Jamie butted in, standing from his seat. "I'll talk to him. He probably gets way too comfortable with you, which is the issue. He's relying on you too much. That's what sparks jealousy.." With that, Jamie walked off towards the bathrooms while Andrew sat there dejectedly eating his pasta. "Have you guys done it?" Skye asks and Andrew stops eating, staring at Skye with a confused look on his face. "No. He's more interested in trying things to see if he likes it. I told him I wouldn't pressure him or anything regarding sex.." Skye pursed her lips a bit, tilting her head back and forth thinking. "Well.. Jamie and I brought a bunch of stuff if you guys wanna try something tonight" she grinned. "I.. don't know how to feel about that.. I'd have to ask him later.." Jamie entered the bathroom, going towards one of the urinals to relieve himself. "You're pissed off about me, right?" he asks openly to the brunette. "Skye told me it was written clear on your face.." the male finished up at the urinal before going over to the sink to wash his hands. "He probably never told you about me, but.. I have a feeling you want to know.. right? I can tell you, but.. I don't want you hating Andrew for it.." @Angel

Lukas made his way into the bathroom and over to a sink in order to splash his face. He just needed a second.. that’s it.. That’s all he needed. He sighed as he turned off the water and used a paper towel to pat his face dry. And just when he thought he was calming down, another person entered the restroom. A quick glance told him it was Jamie. He looked away again as he started to use the urinal. Jesus, what is this guys deal? he sighed and actually wanted to leave. “Pissed about you? No.” He responded rather curtly. “I said I’m fine. Your girlfriend read wrong.” He didn’t care about anything the guy had to say. Everything he’d said had truely annoyed the brunette, but he wasn’t going to admit that. The harsh flame in his chest returned. And he turned to face the other. “I don’t want to know, actually.” He said, beginning to walk out of the bathroom. @Sunfauna

His attempts at trying to talk to the brunette seemed to fail before they even began. It's definitely jealousy.. he thought to himself before exiting the bathroom. He walked over to the table and patted Skye on the shoulder. "Let's go.." Jamie looked at Andrew and gave a small wave. "See you around, Andrew.." Andrew was left on his own now, not sure how to feel about what had happened. Lukas had looked and acted so.. different. Like earlier today. But he wasn't going to say anything to the other. If Lukas wanted to talk about it, he would have. But to think that he'd get so pissed off about a friend of his? That was a first. For a brief moment, Andrew felt like his heart was being constricted. The look in his eyes while he ate was one that looked like they'd been abandoned. He doesn't know about what happened back then.. after Chris.. Would he even understand if I told him? Would he continue to hate Jamie if I did? Should I just give him space? I.. don't know what to do right now.. For the first time, he felt lost in his emotions. In his sea of thoughts within his mind. Hell, it was so much so that he didn't here a single word from Lukas if spoken to him. @Angel

Lukas sighed a bit in relief as Jamie seemed to leave him alone. And by the time he’d gotten back to the table, the couple was gone. “They didn’t have to leave..” he mumbled. I just wanted him to not follow me in the bathroom like a weirdo. He took his seat back next to the other male again and looked at him as he seemed to just pick at his food. Lukas’ eyebrows furrowed. “Andrew?” He attempted to get his attention, but it seemed like the other was in his own world. However, in that moment, Lukas didn’t see it like that. “What? Are you mad that I drove them away?” Lukas asked. “Listen, I didn’t mean to I just..” he sighed a bit in frustration. Yet, Andrew still seemed to be ignoring him. Lukas felt like his chest had a five ton weight on it. “Fine.” He said, standing up. He placed money on the table for the check and then a card with their hotel room number on it in front of Andrew. “For when you’re doing being mad at me.” He said before turning and walking. There were two copies of the keycard, and he had just hoped Andrew would come by whenever he was done. Why did he just ignore me like that? He started to feel.. bad almost. Bad for driving Andrew’s friend away, for maybe not understanding the situation. He felt as though he’d overreacted, and by the time he got to the hotel room, tears were stinging at his eyes and made his vision so blurry he had to fumble with the keycard before he got it to work. @Sunfauna

By the time Andrew had zoned back in from his thoughts, he found that Lukas wasn't next to him anymore. The other had left. Meaning he was all alone at the table. He moved his hand to reach for his phone but knocked something off the table onto the floor, bending down to reach for it he saw it was a keycard for their hotel room. Should I.. go talk to him? he thought to himself. He has to still be mad.. but.. I don't want him to think I was ignoring him.. Slowly he rose from his seat at the table and headed off. It took some time and a bit of asking around before he found the hotel suites. Andrew was debating about texting Lukas several times while in the elevator but decided against it. Arriving on his floor, he stepped out and walked down the quiet hallway. He noticed Jamie and Skye, finding that the two had booked the room next door. Figures. "You doing alright, Andrew?" Jamie asked. "Yeah, just.. gonna talk to him. I just hope he doesn't hate me for it" "I don't think he will. Just tell him honestly. He'll understand" Skye said softly while Jamie opened their door. "We're heading to the Sauna. See you around, Andy" he grinned before the two stepped into their room, closing the door. Andrew looked at the keycard in his hand before going to his room and swiping it, hearing the door unlock. He opened it quietly, stepping inside and closing the door behind him. "Lukas? You in here?" he asked quietly, stepping more into the room. @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/28/2024 01:07
When he’d finally gotten the door open, Lukas had rushed in and slammed it shut behind him. He tossed his bag down haphazardly in the middle of the floor. The suite had an attached patio that was fairly large. It had a couple of chairs on it and a small hottub on one end. He stepped out onto it. The sun had began to set at this point, and with it came the drop in temperature. Despite that, he sat down right on the floor of the patio, with his legs criss crossed while the tears he’d been trying to hold back fell. It felt like he was ruining everything that hadn’t even had a chance to really start. All because he couldn’t figure out his own feelings or how to manage them. Everything was so new to him, it was overwhelming. It felt like he’d been sitting there for quite a while, even starting to shiver while the sun continued to sink past the horizon. The view was nice at least. Is he even going to come? He couldn’t help but imagine he’d be sleeping alone tonight. He found himself tucking his hands into his sleeves and hugging himself. He didn’t even notice the sound of the door unlocking. @Sunfauna

Andrew Bishop BOT 03/28/2024 01:21
Looking around the room, he couldn't pinpoint where Lukas could have gone. The bag was on the floor in the way, which he picked up and set on a nearby table. He checked around the bed, the closet, even the bathroom but couldn't find him anywhere. Did he go somewhere else? he questioned, noticing the patio door for a second. Unless.. He moved quickly towards it, opening the door and noticing the other sitting on the ground. His eyes softened a bit at the sight of the other sitting there by himself. With a sigh, he stepped out onto the patio, sitting himself down behind the other and pulling him into his lap. "Grumpy pants" he says nonchalantly to the other, holding him close. "You wanna talk to me about what happened earlier? Hm?" He rested his chin on Lukas' shoulder, his arms wrapped around the other in a semi-tight hug. "You're upset about something, right?" @Angel

The sound of the door opening made Lukas jump, quickly moving his hands to wipe his cheeks. He turned to look at the other. “Andrew, I-“ he was cut off as he was pulled into the blonde’s lap. His eyes widened a bit in surprise before he slowly wrapped his arms around him, letting himself relax. The other was so warm.. he sank into him and closed his eyes. To answer his question, he shrugged. “I.. I don’t know.. you just seemed really close with Jamie and he seemed.. so much better than me and I… I guess I got jealous..” he turned his head to lay it on the other male’s shoulder, his hands absentmindedly playing with the back of Andrew’s shirt. “It was weird that he followed me into the bathroom. And then I kind of snapped at him. And when I came back you just.. ignored me.. so I thought you were mad at me…” He sat up again to look at the other. “I’m sorry.” He said softly. “I didn’t want to upset anyone, I just.. this is all so new, and I’ve never felt that jealous before.. it felt like my chest was on fire..” @Sunfauna

Hearing Lukas talk about how he was afraid that Jamie was better than him made the male hug him tighter. "Jamie is a close friend of mine from high school. A best friend even. Of course we're close. But.. if it makes you feel any better.. He's straight. Not into guys.." he paused a bit, knowing he had to at least let Lukas know about something else. "Jamie is really great guy. He really helped me back then.. after Chris and I broke up.. after losing Mark.. I felt really lost, abandoned.." His words faltered for a bit, afraid to even say what he was going to say. Would Lukas be upset if he said it? "When I was feeling all of that.. Jamie helped me. Maybe the way he did it wasn't the best choice of actions, but.. he helped me feel loved again when I thought I lost it all. I did say he's straight but.. just that one time.. he took my mind away from it all.." Andrew wasn't proud of admiting that he slept with his best friend back then. But in a way, it helped him move forwards a bit. Kept him alive. During the time he wanted to end it all, Jamie stepped in and did something unthinkable just for Andrew's sake. "As for earlier.. I wasn't ignoring you. I was thinking about all of that that I had just told you. I was afraid that if I told you, you'd hate me for it. Honestly, I just hated feeling so weak at the time.." Hearing Lukas say he had never felt that jealous made Andrew sit up some. "So it was jealousy.. I'm sorry for making you feel that way. I promise you, I only have eyes for you.." @Angel

Lukas’ eyes widened as Andrew told him Jamie was in fact straight. “Oh.” He said softly, the realization slowly hitting him. He locked eyes with the other again as he started to talk about his ex and his brother, making Lukas sit up to give him his full attention. To let him know it was okay. Of course Lukas didn’t react well at first, but .. what happened was in the past, and there was no chance of Jamie and Andrew being a thing again, so.. Lukas shook his head. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have reacted the way I did.” A small smile spread across his lips as Andrew apologized. “I believe you.” He replied before kissing him softly. “I’ll try to be more mindful next time.. I don’t want you to ever feel like you can’t tell me something..” His cold hands came up to cup Andrew’s warm cheeks. “God, you’re so warm..” he laughed a bit before pressing their lips together again. This time it was a little more passionate before he broke away again. “It’s getting really cold.. we should go in..” @Sunfauna

Seeing the other listening as he talked, wondering what was going through his mind. But he spoke, and those three words nearly made him choke but he kept it together. "Thank you.." he whispered feeling that gentle kiss on his lips. He felt the others cold hands resting against his warm skin and he couldn't help but smile a bit as Lukas leaned in to kiss him more passionately, mentioning how warm he was. "I bet. You've been willingly sitting out here in the cold.. that won't do" he sighed, reaching under Lukas and slinking his arms around so he could hold the other, getting up from the ground. Holding the other in his arms, reminded him of when he brought Lukas home that day when he got hurt. Andrew carried him inside and set him down on the bed, taking a seat next to him after closing the patio door. "Trying to freeze yourself? Not allowed.. here.. give me your hands" he reached down to take Lukas hands into his own, bringing them up to his lips. He let his warm breath work on warming them up. @Angel

Lukas tilted his head a bit. “It wasn’t this cold earlier, I just - ah-“ he gasped a bit in surprise as he was lifted. His face was already pink from the cold, but his cheeks visibly darkened as he was lifted. He held on, smiling a bit. “Am I not heavy to you?” He asked. Being a grown man, he figured he weighed at least 180, even if he was average build. When he was sat down, he shook his head. “I wasn’t trying to freeze myself, I swear.” He said. He handed over his hands, letting Andrew warm them up. His chest fluttered as he smiled. “I really am sorry.. I wish I could apologize to Jamie..” he’d felt bad. He’d let his emotions take control and took it out on everyone. “And Skye too. She was sweet.. Any friend of yours is a friend of mine.” @Sunfauna

Seeing the reaction from the brunette was enough to make Andrew want to laugh, but only a little got out before he tried to keep focus on heating up Lukas' fingers. "No, you're not that heavy to me. I think you'd have more trouble trying to lift me instead" he smirked. "I had to work out to keep in shape for my gigs.." he tells the other. Hearing Lukas mention he wasn't trying to freeze himself only caused the blonde to stare at him, at least before he set the male's hands down. "Really? Cause it seemed like it. That's how you get sick" he frowned for a few seconds. However, what caught the blonde's attention was Lukas wanting to apologize to Jamie and Skye. "You still can. They're room is next door. I think they said they were gonna head to the Sauna or something.." he tried to think back on the conversation. "Or something like that.. But, I'm sure you'll get a chance to. Jamie isn't one to hold grudges or anything, and Skye is really nice. She picks up on things quite easily, but only cause she feels so much more. I think the term for that is empath?" With a sigh, Andrew leaned back on the bed, staring up at the ceiling. "Either way, I'm sure you can apologize to them when they get back" @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/28/2024 16:44
Lukas smiled more at Andrew’s little laugh before he continued heating his hands up. He didn’t say it, but he figured he could probably lift the other male… probably. To be honest, Lukas wasn’t sure himself what his goal was with sitting on the balcony in the cold… was he trying to punish himself subconsciously? He didn’t respond. “Really?” He asked in response to Andrew telling him the couple actually happened to be next door. Even though he’d said he’d wanted to apologize, he was nervous. Andrew said Jamie didn’t hold a grudge but… Lukas didn’t respond again. He would take the chance if it came.. maybe.. When Andrew laid back, Lukas tilted his head a bit. He hesitated but crawled up and over him, putting his hands on either side of him with his legs on either side of his hips. “Are you upset with me? For sitting outside?” @Sunfauna

Andrew Bishop BOT 03/28/2024 16:54
Andrew looked down a bit to stare at Lukas before shaking his head. "Not really. You probably had a lot on your mind and wanted to be alone, right?" He sat up on his elbows staring at the other and taking in his features. He lifted a hand and barely grazed the bite marks. "I probably would have done the same thing. But i would have at least brought a jacket" he teased, resting his hand back down on the bed. "I figure.. it's all new for you. These emotions.. what they are and what they mean. To me.. you care a lot, right? For me at least.. " he laid back down on his back, staring at the ceiling fan overhead as it spun. "To be honest, I don't like talking about my past. So I try to bury it deep within me. When it does surface, I pretend it doesn't exist. That it didn't happen. Though.. I didn't tell you about Jamie until recently because I didn't want you to think we were something.. he just helped me regain my senses.. in an unconventional way.." he sighed. "That man goes all out for those he cares for, seriously.. and Skye is always so supportive and kind.. they make a great couple for sure.." Andrew paused for a moment, before remembering something. "Oh, that's right.. Remember how you said you'd be open to trying new things to see if you liked it or not?" He sat up some, rubbing the back of his neck, "Skye told me.. that she'd let us use anything they brought. I forgot to mention that those two.. they've done a lot of different things. They aren't shy about it either. Jamie especially.." @Angel

A bit of relief washed over the brunette as the other said he wasn’t upset with him. When he stared at him, Lukas stared back, a shiver running the length of his spine as his marks were touched and his face flushing a bit before he laughed. “Noted. I’ll bring a jacket next time.” He was glad that Andrew understood at least.. but that still didn’t excuse the way he’d acted. He’d been snapping at everyone a lot recently.. including Taylor and Lily. He guess he’d was just processing a lot. “I care about you more than you probably think..” he nodded. “You don’t have to talk about it if you don’t want to.” Lukas’ eyes softened, and he lowered himself to sit on top of the other - but he wasn’t intending to be sexual. Just comfortable. “They seem like a good couple.” He thought of Skye tapping him to check on him, even though she barely knew him. She picked up on his little cues almost instantly. “Hm?” Lukas’ head tilted as he was scooted back more into Andrew’s lap directly. “Yeah..” he said softly. Anything they brought? They brought stuff? Lukas’ face flushed red. “I mean, as long as it’s clean..” he responded. What could she have possibly brought that he and Andrew could use? Now, the brunette was curious. “Let’s meet them at the sauna.” He said, standing up. “It’ll help warm me up~” He grabbed Andrew’s hand. @Sunfauna

Andrew thought for a bit at Lukas little comments. Clearly he seemed interested. "Of course they'd be clean, goofball. Jamie is a bit of a neat freak. Or germaphobe.. whichever comes first.. he doesn't like dirty things" Seeing Lukas face flush earlier was a bit amusing to the blonde. Though he didn't expect the brunette to be so enthusiastic about wanting to meet them at the sauna. "Alright, we can do that. I don't know if I'll like the idea of sweating so much but.." he shrugged, "Might as well try it out" Andrew reached over for their bag on the way out, catching a glimpse of Jamie and Skye nearing the elevator. "Hey! Got room for two more?" He grinned. Jamie and Skye both lifted their heads to look back and Skye waved to them. "Only if you don't mind being squeezed in here" she grinned. Jamie held the elevator open for the two. "Decided to join us?" Jamie questioned. "Something like that" Andrew replied. @Angel

Obviously they’d be clean. The thought stayed with him as they made their way down the hallway. As well as the thoughts about what the other couple possibly brought for them to “try out”. It kind of made him excited if he had to admit it. He tried to think of what he watched when he was younger, but most of the things he’d seen were rather tame. Nothing too crazy.. And clearly, if he liked being bitten to the point of drawing blood, he was definitely not into tame. Andrew yelling down the hall snapped Lukas from his thoughts. He’d been looking straight ahead but was so in his head he didn’t notice the two in front of them. Oh- Soon enough, they were in the elevator with them. Lukas kind of stayed towards the wall. Andrew had already told the other two it was okay, so he kind of had to deal with it. Small spaces weren’t his niche.. It’ll be fine. Just a couple of floors. He let go of Andrew’s hand to sort of distance himself and give him enough space to be okay - but not enough to be obvious. This fear of his stemmed from the same reason he was afraid of the dark. Which didn’t fare well when the elevator suddenly stopped, the lights flashing for a moment before turning completely off, and then emergency lights turning on. Lukas looked up at them then to the others. It has to have been a power surge. It can’t last for long. He gripped onto the railing a little tighter as he tried to keep himself composed. Not only would it be embarrassing for him to freak out in front of Andrew, but in front of his friends too? Who’d he had yet to apologize to? The little speaker on the elevator sparked to life. “Hey, are you all okay? It was just a little power outage, and everything’s back up except the elevator. We should have it up again in about 10 minutes! If you need anything, press the little button by the speaker and we’ll be able to hear you!” Oh, fuck me. Lukas sighed, moving to where he could sit in the corner, trying to give himself more space. *10 minute

s? How am I supposed to just sit here for 10 minutes?* He pulled his knees to his chest while playing with his shirt sleeves. “Guess we have time to play 20 questions.” He said, trying to joke. @Sunfauna

Everything seemed fine for the most part with Andrew chatting idly with Jamie and Skye until the elevator came to a halt. Ah.. it's gonna take time to fix the elevator, huh? Should be fine he thought. He glanced over at Lukas for a moment, seeing him far away from the group and sitting on the floor. Guess he doesn't like small spaces either.. he thought, remembering when the lights went out back at the house and he flipped out. "I think that's a great idea!" Skye smiled, taking a seat on the elevator floor in another corner. Jamie followed suit until Andrew sighed, taking the last corner. "Well, I don't mind it much" he looked to Lukas with a small smile. "Hey, Skye.. remember what we talked about earlier?" He asked the redhead who tilted her head a bit, thinking. "Oh, yeah I remember. Is he curious?" Andrew glanced to Lukas. "You're free to ask whatever you want. I'm sure you're curious, right?" If I can keep him occupied, just talking.. maybe he'll forget about being trapped. Hopefully.. *What do you wanna know? Jamie and I have done lots" Skye smiled, looking towards Lukas. @Angel

Lukas hadn’t expected the others to be into the idea, as he’d initially offered it as a joke. It came as a surprise when they all sat in corners like he had. If anything, it kind of helped him relax a bit. They didn’t take notice of the fact that he was uncomfortable - and if they had, they’d mirrored him to make it more comfortable for him. Now there was even more space between them. The brunette glanced to the blonde, who’d taken the corner on his right. Part of him wanted to scoot closer.. Andrew did make him feel safe after all. But he stayed in his corner. He looked from Andrew to Skye. Guess Andrew wasn’t wrong about them being so open… “You mean like.. about sexual stuff?” He asked, his face turning pink. Thankfully, the dim lights made it hard to see. “Uhm..” What could he ask? It’s not like he knew what they could’ve possibly done well enough to question them about it? “Well.. I..” he fiddled with his shirt sleeves in order to figure out how to word what he wanted to say. “Andrew bit me pretty hard last night.. and I-I liked it.” He laughed a bit. “But that’s all that I know I like… so..” he looked at Skye, then to Jamie, then to Skye again. “What’s.. like… the top 3 things you like to do?” @Sunfauna

The trio listened as Lukas spoke, with Andrew keeping quiet. He could tell the other was thinking cause he was messing with his sleeves again. He kind of reminds me of a rabbit when he does that.. the blonde thought, imagining Lukas as a cute, floppy eared rabbit. Jamie and Skye were giving him their full attention. "Bit you, huh? He does bite pretty hard.." Jamie hummed. "I've got a scar from him, right here" Jamie rolled up his sleeve on his left arm, showing a faded scar that was indeed bite marks. They looked identical to Lukas'. "If you like that kind of stuff.. you might be into things like melted wax. Have you tried that? Mix it with a blindfold or bondage.. it's really good. Sometimes relaxing" Skye chipped in. "Or.. let's see.. id say whips but those can leave some nasty scars on the back. Especially if hit in the same spot.. plus you'd have to learn how to use one. They're not easy" she continued. "But I think the wax one is right up your alley.." she smiled. Andrew looked between the two conversing with Lukas, despite the other having yelled at them earlier, it was like they let it roll right off them. As if it never happened. "As for what we absolutely love?" Skye looked to Jamie who started to answer for her, "We love using various sex toys, the vibrator believe it or not is very simple but feels amazing. We also enjoy bondage, I love it the most though. Lastly.. I'd have to say orgies. Just being with a bunch of people like that.. hmm.. it's like the energy in the room just fuels you" Boy, that's a lot to unpack right there.. Andrew thought idly. @Angel

They act as though earlier never happened.. should I still apologize.. now isn’t really the time.. Lukas looked at Jamie as he spoke, and couldn’t help but smile a bit at the scar he showed him. Kind of sad I’m not the only one marked by him… That’s fine.. I’ll just get more.. “Melted wax..?” That piqued his curiosity. He thought maybe he’d like to try that.. Blindfold? Bondage? Maybe he should’ve asked for one thing. The whipping sounded like he could give it a go, as well as the vibrators and whatnot. But orgies..? He wasn’t sure. Having sex while other people do the same..? He didn’t know if he could be vulnerable enough for that. All this talk was exciting him a bit. It made him imagine the different scenarios with Andrew.. but with that, his body temperature was rising. And being inside a cramped broken down elevator meant that the whole thing was getting hot, and fast. “Is it hot in here to anyone else?” He said, grabbing his shirt collar and pulling it rapidly to try and fan himself. There was sweat beginning to bead on his forehead, and the feeling of it as well as the heat was overwhelming and overstimulating. He could feel his heart rate and breathing increasing. Fuck, I’m going to lose it if we don’t get out of here. He stood up, pressing the button to call the person on the other side. They answered with a “Hello?” Lukas held down the button. “Hey, is there an update on when we’ll be out of here?” He asked, his voice hinted with a tone of desperation. “We’re working on it, I promise we’ll have you out soon.” Soon? That’s not good enough. @Sunfauna

"Yeah, melted wax is fun. When blindfolded and bound, it's kind of like.. sensory stimulation. There's some pain, but obviously if you like pain then it brings a lot of pleasure" Jamie responded, twiddling his thumbs in his lap. Andrew had been watching Lukas for most of the conversation, and it seemed the other was starting to panic a bit. Sure it was a bit warm in the elevator, but not as bad as Lukas was having it. If he thinks this is hot, he's not gonna survive the Sauna he thought. Watching Lukas get up and going to talk to the Operator on the other end, he could hear the desperation. Should I comfort him? What if he freaks out? "Lukas, come here" Andrew spoke, patting the spot next to him. "You'll be alright. I promise" he gave a small smile. The times that elevators go out like this are quite rare, but it shouldn't take too long for them to fix it. "So, how long have you and Andrew known each other?" Skye asked, excited to learn more about Lukas and Andrew's relationship. @Angel

The sweater he was wearing definitely didn’t help with the heat. He turned to Andrew as he heard his name before looking at the speaker again. He turned and sat back down closer to Andrew this time. Its only bothering me because I don’t like being trapped. He didn’t want to freak out, he didn’t want to seem weak. He wiped his forehead with his sleeve and pushed his hair back to get it off his forehead. He glanced at Andrew, giving him a look of I don’t know if I can do this. before Skye caught his attention. “How long have we known each other?” He repeated her question, leaning his head back against the wall as he tried to focus on the question, and not his uncomfortable situation. “Well, honestly, not for long.. We met maybe a little over a month ago.. were friends for a while and now uh.. this whole relationship thing is fairly new..” He was honest about it. “Who knew I’d fall for the guy who gave me a concussion by tackling me over a pony wall.” He laughed a bit. @Sunfauna

"What?! Andrew gave you a concussion?" Skye had this surprised look on her face as she looked at Andrew. "You're a fuckin giraffe, Andrew! You need to be careful" It was like a sister scolding her brother. "I didn't mean to.. we were roller skating and-" "Roller-skating? You don't put a giraffe in roller skates!" She couldn't help but laugh, finding the image of Andrew trying to roller-skate rather amusing. Andrew sighed, rubbing his neck, "I know, I know.." "His center of balance isn't the best, but he was a pretty good gymnast back then" Jamie chimed in. "I remember I'd be giving you massages constantly because you kept pulling muscles" he smirked. "I always forgot to stretch.. bite me" "Don't tempt me" Jamie winked and Andrew stuck his tongue out. Such good friends just idly bantering with one another. "Yeah, well.. I stopped doing gymnastics" the male sighed, leaning back against the wall. "Oh, that's right, you started modeling right after high school right? You always did have such a pretty face and a great figure.." Skye smiled. "I think I still have a photo of you and Jamie back in high school. Lukas, you wanna see?" she looked to the brunette as she pulled her phone out of her pocket and began to open it, flipping through her gallery of pictures. "Come on Skye, he doesn't need to see it.." Andrew said, reaching over to try and swipe her phone but Skye was quick to avoid his attempts at snatching the phone. "Nah, I think you look just as handsome as you did back then. Don't be like that. I'm sure Lukas here is curious, right?" @Angel

“Yeah!” Lukas laughed a bit as Skye seemed surprised that the whole situation had happened. He felt a little bad, seemingly having embarrassed the blonde, but he hoped it was okay in the moment. “It wasn’t too bad, just didn’t know how to stop.” He added before Lukas and Andrew started going back and forth. Despite what Andrew had said before.. their little banter made Lukas’ chest burn again, and his smile faded. It still seemed too.. sexually charged. He’d be lying if he said it didn’t make him upset still.. but he wasn’t going to show it. He glanced at Andrew from the corner of his eye. In this moment, his statement from before of only having eyes for Lukas didn’t seem very comforting.. He sat back against the wall again, playing with his sleeves as he let the other continue their conversation. He wanted out of the elevator so bad.. This whole trip had been a disaster so far, and he kind of wanted to back to the room and hide under the covers. He heard his name again. Silver eyes looked up and tuned back into the conversation. Skye wanted to show him a picture, Andrew was insisting not to. Lukas shook his head. “It’s alright, really you don’t have-“ he was cut off by his own gasp as the elevator light suddenly flashed back on and it started moving. It startled him enough for him to grab onto Andrew’s arm instinctively. When the elevator stopped, the doors open and Lukas was the first one to scramble out, breathing a huge sigh of relief. Thank god.. @Sunfauna

Skye was about to say something to Lukas until the Elevator roared to life again. Andrew looked over at Lukas to see the male grab onto his arm. Guess it must have spooked him some. Once the elevator had reached the first floor, the doors opened and it felt like Lukas was there one second and gone the next. "Damn, he's quick" Jamie commented. "Guess it's about time we get out, eh?" The trio got up off the floor with Andrew making sure to grab their bag and sling it over his shoulder. Jamie and Skye stepped out, the pair holding hands. "Alright, ready to head to the sauna?" Jamie asked, turning his head to look at Andrew. "We'll catch up. I wanna make sure Lukas is alright" "Awesome. See you there!" Once the two had walked off and it was just him and Lukas in the main lobby, Andrew rested a hand on the brunette's shoulder. "Not a fan of small spaces either?" he commented. "Trust me, I hate being stuck in elevators too. Had a time where I got stuck in one for about an hour or two while on the way to a shoot. Not fun" He hoped that Lukas was at least alright for right now. "If your not up for it anymore, we don't have to go to the Sauna. I can easily text Jamie and tell him" he started to speak, "I just wanna make sure you're doing okay" @Angel

It was a good thing the lobby was cool. Lukas almost immediately felt better as he caught his breath finally. Skye and Jamie seemed to walk ahead and he felt a hand on his shoulder. He glanced over to see Andrew. “No..” he admitted quietly. It was almost as embarrassing as his fear of the dark. His face flushed a bit. “I don’t think I would’ve been able to handle an hour.” He laughed a little before taking the blondes hand off of his shoulder and holding it instead. At his suggestion of skipping the sauna, Lukas seemed to stand in thought for a moment. “I feel like I’ve had enough heat.. and..” he looked around to make sure no one was in ear shot, then leaned into Andrew’s ear. “Our conversation on the elevator got me a little.. excited..” Now his face was bright red. “But-“ he quickly added, “We can still go if you want to.. if you want to hang with Jamie yknow..” @Sunfauna

Andrew shook his head, watching the other remove his hand from their shoulder and instead hold it. "It's fine. I figured you were probably done with the heat. I don't need you passing out in the sauna" he chuckles. "We can head back to the room, it's fine" He leaned over and planted a gentle kiss to the male's forehead. "I remember seeing a flight of stairs we can take instead of the elevator. C'mon" Though after hearing Lukas mention he had gotten a bit excited was interesting to Andrew. To think that just talking about all that sexual stuff in the elevator had him worked up. What would they even do? Jamie and Skye had already left so the wouldn't be able to get into their room for any of the stuff. It's fine, we could always go out and buy some stuff.. he thought. Andrew found the flight of stairs and opened the door, leading the male in as he stared at how high they went. Thankfully, the stairwell was empty and devoid of anybody else but themselves. "So you got worked up, eh?" Andrew spoke as he started his ascent. "Does that mean you wanna do something tonight?" he asked, reaching for his phone from his pocket to text Jamie that they wouldn't be joining them at the Sauna. "I'm fine with it as long as you're okay. I don't wanna make your condition worse" @Angel

Lukas tilted his head a bit. “We don’t have to take the stairs-“ he insisted, but was dragged along anyways. He walked into the stairwell and also looked up. “We’re on the third floor..” he mumbled to Andrew, but mostly himself, and he held his finger out tracing along the stairs. He counted how many flights it would take to the third floor, each floor needing two flights to get to the next one. So only four. That’s not too bad. By the time Lukas had noticed Andrew moving, he was already quite a few steps in. Ah- he had to run to catch up at first. Andrew’s nonchalant tone when asking him about wanting to do things made Lukas’ face heat up a bit. “I’m fine, really.” He insisted. How is he so chill about such flustering topics? Now they were at the second floor. “I mean, it can wait too, because we don’t have anything to try.. or we could ask them when they get back to their room.. or we could go out ourselves, but we’re already headed back to the room..” he stopped on one of the landings that didn’t necessarily end on a floor, trying to think. @Sunfauna
Avatar
Andrew Bishop BOT 03/29/2024 16:01
The only reason Andrew was fine with discussing such topics was mainly because he still had that bit about him that didn't care what others thought of him. It may also come from the fact that whenever you talked about such things, Lukas would get embarrassed, which he found cute. Andrew stopped when he reached about halfway up the second flight of stairs, turning his head to look at Lukas on the landing. "I suppose so, we can wait. I was just giving you a hard time. Your flustered face is really cute" he grinned. "Right now, I just wanna sleep. All that heat has really tired me out" he sighs, taking another couple steps up the stairs before looking back at Lukas. "I'm sure we can try things tomorrow or something. There's still plenty to do here at this place, right?" The male extended a hand out, waiting for the other to take it. "Let's get to our room quick before I pass out in the stairwell" he chuckled. @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/29/2024 16:10
Lukas looked up at the other, smiling a bit as he admitted he was just giving him a hard time. “Yeah yeah yeah.” He brushed him off playfully before rushing up and taking his hand. “Of course. I wouldn’t want to wear you out more..” he pecked the others cheek before they made their way up the rest of the stairs and into their room. When they got in, Lukas grabbed a towel. “I’m just gonna shower really quick, okay? Don’t wait up.” This time the kiss he gave landed on Andrew’s lips, and lasted for quite a while before he finally pulled away. “Okay, okay, go lay down.” He made his way into the bathroom. He only wanted to shower because he felt like he smelled like the springs and sweat from the elevator. He took his time from undressing, to getting under the warm water, to washing himself, and finally getting out. He dried himself off and just ran his fingers through his hair and called it good enough before stepping out. He noticed Andrew was already curled up, and he smiled at the sight before quietly getting dressed. When he was done, he grabbed his camera from his bag. Then, he slowly - oh so slowly and carefully - crawled into the bed. He made sure the flash was off before taking a couple photos of the blonde sleeping. Hes so.. pretty.. even when asleep… @Sunfauna

"Wear me out more? I could find the energy for such things. They wouldn't be as strongly but-" the small kiss to his cheek caused the male to pause for a moment before following the other up the stairs. No, I'd still be too tired for such things. I think.. Upon making it upstairs to the 3rd floor, the pair made it to their room, unlocking the door and entering. Andrew set their bag down on the little bench by the entrance before taking a seat on the bed. He thought about also taking a shower but he was done with water for today. The sudden deep kiss from Lukas did catch him by surprise for a second, but he accepted it and returned it. Once the other had left for the bathroom, Andrew was left alone. Well, it's still warm so I'm just gonna strip for now he thought, getting up from his spot and began removing his shirt, cardigan, pants and boots, setting them all to the side before climbing into bed. He felt a lot cooler now as he got comfortable. Closing his eyes, he allowed himself to drift off to sleep for a bit. He had been sleeping for about 20 or so minutes before Lukas had joined him, unaware of what the other was doing. Andrew groaned, rolling over in his sleep. @Angel

Lukas took a moment to look at the photos he’d taken before smiling and setting it beside the bed. None of the pictures showed anything lower than the shoulders. When he was done, he froze for a moment. He didn’t want to wake the other. Once again, his movements were slow and controlled. He slid down and spooned the other, wrapping one arm around him and snuggling close into his back. The events of earlier slowly caught up with him and he fell asleep like that. A couple of hours had passed. It was fairly late at night, but Lukas still woke up as if it was just a nap. He sat up, stretching and looking around the room. They’d left the light on. Something caught his eye. A piece of paper under the door. He slowly climbed out of bed and made his way to it. He opened it to find pretty handwriting. The note read, “We knocked but no one answered, so we left a bag of goodies outside of your door!” @Sunfauna

Andrew had slept rather well for those few hours. He didn't even really stir when Lukas had joined him. He was just so tired that he needed to rest. Maybe it was a good thing they didn't go to the sauna after all. When Lukas has gotten up, Andrew stirred a bit with a groan before slowly opening his eyes. Seeing the lights from the room he frowned and covered his face with the blanket. It took a bit for the male to wake up properly before slowly lowering the blanket and sitting up. "Why'd you leave? I was comfortable.." he huffed before noticing Lukas by the door. He had opened what looked to be a note. Andrew pushed the blankets back and got out of bed, walking towards the other almost completely naked if not for his boxers. "What is it?" He asked, leaning some to get a look at the note. "Oh-" he paused, going to open the door and seeing a duffle bag in front. "Skye.." he sighed, reaching down to pick up the bag that was surprisingly a bit heavy. Bringing it in he closed and locked the door before tossing the bag on the floor at the door of the bed. "Guess Santa came early" he told Lukas after opening the bag. "She thinks we want to try this stuff out tonight.." he covered half his face with a hand, sighing before sitting on the bed. @Angel

“Sorry.” He responded to the male’s small whining moment of frustration of Lukas leaving the bed. “I was coming back but there was this..” he trailed off when he noticed the other by his side. He set the note down on a little table beside the door that was just holding a lamp as he watched the other bring the duffel bag in. “What is in that thing?” He asked, noting how heavy it seemed to be. He followed the other to the bed to peek into it. “What is all of this..?” He mumbled, sitting on the edge of the bed. He glanced up to the other. Andrew still looked so tired.. It made Lukas frown a bit. “We can look at it later. You’re still tired..” he crawled over to the other male’s side and tucked some of his long hair behind his ear. “Do you want to sleep some more..?” @Sunfauna
Avatar
Andrew Bishop BOT 03/30/2024 02:35
The male lowered his hand into his lap and lifted his head some when he felt the other tucking some of his hair behind his ear. "Remember that conversation in the elevator?" he asked Lukas, rubbing his eye. "That's the stuff she brought that she was talking about. Jamie and Skye are really into trying all sorts of things, so I guess they didn't mind letting you look through some of it to see what you'd wanna try out" he shrugged. When asked if he wanted to sleep some more, it actually took him a minute to decide. "Yeah, I think I do. At least for a little bit more. Sorry for get crabby at you, I didn't mean it" he planted a gentle kiss to the brunette's lips before standing up from his spot. "You can look through that stuff if you want. But, I'd rather sleep with you for a bit" he mumbled, making his way back towards his spot of the bed and crawling back under the covers with a heavy sigh. "The springs really tired me out.." a yawn escaped him before letting his eyes close for just a second. But a second was all it would take for him to drift off. @Angel

"Oh... that stuff." It definitely piqued the brunette's curiousity as he looked over at the bag. So, what? Wax and vibrators? Rope? He had to admit, he was really curious about that damn bag... But, he stifled it for now, moving to let Andrew crawl back into the bed. Lukas stood up, taking the bag off the bed and setting it in a chair that was in the corner of the room. What was inside could wait. For now, he wanted to cuddle and sleep some more. A glance at the clock on the nightstand said it was almost 3 am. "Man, why did I wake up at such a weird time..." He said, but recieved no answer. He looked over to the other male who had gone radio silent to find that he had indeed fallen right back asleep. He couldn't help but giggle a bit at the sight before turning the lights off. Then, he slowly made his way in the dark towards the other and climbed under the blankets with him. He pulled the other into his chest, and no sooner had his head hit the pillow did he fall asleep, holding the other close.

Andrew was fast asleep now, allowing his mind to rest some more. He hardly stirred at all when felt the other pull him into him. The warmth was nice for a bit, the cuddling helped ease his mind. As he slept, a dream started to play in his mind. At first, it seemed fine, but the dream progressed into a nightmare as it went on. The dream itself seemed to have been when Andrew had witnessed his ex and brother. When Chris had cheated on him, and when Mark didn't show up at graduation. This dream alone disturbed Andrew so much he jolted awake, tears streaming down his face. The clock read 8am, but he was in such a state of shock that he couldn't really find the words or courage to speak or move. I thought I was over this.. Why must it haunt me.. he thought, trying to compose himself. But the more he tried, the worse it got. Shit.. @Angel

Lukas slept rather peacefully, dreamlessly. It was deep. He slept well throughout the rest of the night and into the morning. He didn’t let go of the blonde in his arms for even a moment. When he jolted, Lukas didn’t wake. Instead, he seemed to subconsciously feel the other. A soft hum left his lips. “Hmmm.. it’s okay..” he mumbled quietly, holding him tighter. He nuzzled his face into the soft blonde hair and seemingly fell completely back to sleep. It didn’t take long for him to wake up fully, groaning quietly. His shoulder hurt a bit from laying in an uncomfortable position for an extended period of time. He shifted and tried to uncramp it before opening his eyes. He glanced down. “Good morn… hey.” He sat up and looked at the blonde, concern in his eyes. “Are you okay? What happened?” @Sunfauna

Andrew Bishop BOT 03/30/2024 04:21
The blonde was trying to catch his breath, or rather steady it along with his racing heart. It's like he was having a cold sweat trying to keep himself together. "I-I'm fine.. Just.. bad dreams.. bad memories.." he told the other. Andrew ran his fingers through his hair as he closed his eyes, trying to calm himself. "I.. had a nightmare.. about Mark.. I get these sometimes.. dreams that seem to stab at your heartstrings until you break.. it's unnerving" he admits. The last thing he wanted to do was make Lukas worry about him. With a sharp inhale and a shaky exhale, he laid back down, staring up at the ceiling fan. "Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you.." @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 03/30/2024 04:39
Lukas frowned a bit as Andrew explained his dream. He sighed softly. "You didn't wake me.." He reassured softly before laying beside the other again. He sort of just layed on his side and stared at him for a moment, unsure of what to do to help him. "I'm sorry you had a nightmare." He said after a moment of silence, reaching forward and gently starting to play with a bit of the blonde's hair. Silence again. This one lasted a bit longer before he finally spoke up again. "Hey, there's a really pretty hiking trail that leads to a small waterfall. Would you wanna do that? Or we could have a less exhausting day, could just find something to do around here. I think.. there's bowling somewhere nearby.. Or we could meet up with Skye and Jamie?" He offered, trying to get the blonde's attention off of things. "Or, we have a personal hottub on the balcony. Could just order in and chill out?" @Sunfauna

Andrew Bishop BOT 03/30/2024 04:52
Listening to Lukas next to him trying to comfort him did help a bit. At least, just talking was enough to help a bit. He wiped a few stray tears from his eyes, feeling Lukas playing with his hair. It helped some, and actually felt kind of nice. Lukas seemed to list off a variety of things they could do, which sounded tempting. He had to think on the options given to him. Hiking could be fun. I bet he'd want to take a bunch of photos if we did that he started to think, imagining the two hanging out near this waterfall. It sounded serene. Bowling could also be fun. Though, I didn't really bring anything to hide myself for going out in public.. Jamie and Skye are probably busy doing something right now.. The options sounded promising, but the last one was also a good idea. Just hanging out with Lukas, privately in their own hot tub did sound fun. Relaxing even. But did he want to? An idea came to mind. "We could do the hiking trail, and then when we come back we can hang out in the hottub. Does that work?" he asked. Hopefully that plan would suffice. He didn't want to do too much today, but he did want to spend some more time with Lukas. @Angel

Lukas let the silence envelope them in order for Andrew to be able to think about what he wanted to do. When he finally said he wanted to do the trail, Lukas smiled wide. “Okay, we can do that.” He crawled out of the bed and started digging through his clothes for a good outfit. “The trail isn’t too bad. Not a lot of climbing and it’s pretty short. Should only take us like 25 minutes to get to the falls.” He looked back at Andrew for a moment. “You sure you’re okay?” He stood up, changing into a new outfit. He threw on a black hoodie with black joggers before pulling his gym shoes on. He had to admit he was excited - mostly for the pictures. There were tons of good photo spots. He grabbed his camera, throwing it over his neck and waited for Andrew to be ready before leaving. He grabbed the others hand as they walked. Lukas walked towards the elevator, being fine with it again. “I’m sure it won’t break down again.” He joked. And it didn’t. They made their way out of the building and along a sidewalk that led to the springs, but at a fork there was a sign that pointed to the trail. While they walked, Lukas made small talk, talking about random things. “Do you think that now that I’m your boyfriend, I can take pictures of you without getting in trouble?” He asked at one point along the trail, referring to Andrew’s manager scolding him about taking photos he hadn’t even snapped in the first place. He had already began taking pictures of the scenery, rocks, flowers, and even a squirrel that had seemed to pose for the picture.

The male managed to force himself out of bed, deciding he should probably get dressed too. His outfit for the hike was a sleeveless hoodie, a pair of jeans and his boots. "Yeah, I'll be okay" he tells the other after he was asked if he'd be okay. I'm fine, I just.. miss him Once Andrew had gotten dressed, he worked on tying up his hair into a loose bun. He watched the brunette grab his camera, slinging it around his neck. Once ready, the pair had left the room, holding hands as they made it towards the elevator. Lukas joked about hoping it wouldn't break down again. It didn't, thankfully. Descending from their floor to the first floor, he let Lukas lead the way. He's probably been on this trail before, probably how he knows about he thought. The blonde turned his gaze to Lukas who began to idly chat with him. "Well, I'm sure she'd still try to scold you for it cause that's her job.. but I think you should be fine.. I think. It's not like your taking them to sell or anything.." he began. "Which reminds me, you take a lot of nature pictures, right? Have you ever thought about selling them as prints? Or.. maybe even wanted to be a freelance photographer for other people?" he asked. "Like, get paid to do weddings or parties or something. You know? I think that could be a good way to earn some extra money if you ever needed it" He does still live in that abysmal apartment of his.. Andrew thought, remembering the apartment that Lukas had brought him to. If he had a better income, then he could get something a bit better. But, since we're together.. couldn't we just.. move in.. together? Would that be going too fast? Then again, this week has been one big whirlwind of emotions. I'd have to come back to that idea some other time @Angel

“I guess that makes sense..” He responded to the comment about still being scolded. Of course he didn’t plan to sell Andrew’s likeness.. the photos the brunette took of the other were purely for personal use. He continued to take little snapshots here and there as they walked, trying not to hold them up too much. When Andrew asked the question about selling his photos, Lukas just shrugged. “I… I don’t know.. they don’t seem good enough for that..” he paused for a moment on the trail. But only for a moment. He started to walk again as if he hadn’t stopped at all. “I guess I could try, I don’t know.” He finished his thought finally. It didn’t take long for the two to reach the waterfall. There was absolutely no one around. It was quiet, the sound of the waterfall and the natural noises of the woods around them was serene. Peaceful. Lukas kind of stopped for a moment to admire it all before beginning to take some pictures. He snapped a few candid ones of the blonde, before he decided he wanted to try something. The hill the waterfall was cascading from was rather steep, but he wanted to try and get a good picture from the top. So.. “Wait here a moment, I wanna try something.” He said to the other before slowly beginning to climb the steep hill from the side. It was rocky and rough, but he took his time. Once he was near the top, he pulled his camera from around his neck. He was going to set it down on a rock ahead of him in order to be able to situate himself, but his next step on the rocks was faulty. The rock seemed to crumble under him, and on instinct he stepped back. With the crumbling rock went his camera, right into the water below. @Sunfauna

"I think you take some really beautiful pictures, Lukas. I'm sure people would buy them if you sold them. But that's just my opinion, don't take my word for it. I'm only a model who has been in and seen countless photos of myself from professional photographers. I think you could really do it" he smiled. The walk continued for quite a bit, with Andrew watching Lukas going about taking photos of the nature trail and even of the blonde himself at times. Watching him taking photos seemed to bring a smile to his face. He loves it so much, I wanna help him somehow he thought before the two neared the waterfall. It was a sight to behold and quite loud. Almost like anything else around them would be drowned out from the noise. But it was beautiful, watching the water fall, catching glimpses of sunlight streaming through the droplets with small sighs of a rainbow each time the water hit the sunlight a certain way. "So beautiful" he said, staring in awe at it. He'd certainly never seen something so pretty. Andrew managed to barely hear the brunette next to him telling him to wait there. He was curious on what Lukas was going to do but seeing the other starting to climb the rocky face of the hill made him concerned. "Hey! Be careful! Don't risk yourself getting hurt over a photo!" he called out, but it seemed the noise from the falls were louder than his voice. The sight of seeing Lukas' wrong step and the camera falling into the cascading waterfall and down below into the water made his heart drop. That camera was everything to Lukas, so seeing it nosedive into the water like that really gave the blonde that burst of adrenaline. Immediately he began to strip himself of his clothes except for his boxers and dove into the water. Shit, it's so cold he flinched before shaking his head. No, I need to find the camera. I have to.. He swam for a bit towards where he saw it fall, coming up for air briefly before going under again, swimming towards the bottom. It was hard t

o see, so he had to use his best judgement. The burning feeling in his lungs began again, and just when he was about to go up for air, he spotted it. The light shining on the lens. So instead of going up, he went down more, reaching out and grabbing the strap of the camera. The air in his lungs ran out and he had to exhale, forcing himself up from the water, gasping and coughing, running a hand over his face to push back his hair. "Shit, that was scary" he gasped before making his way towards the bank, crawling out of the water with the camera. @Angel

Lukas kind of stood for a moment in shock, as if he had to process that his camera had really fallen into the water. That didn’t last long though, since he’d noticed Andrew’s frantic stripping of his clothes. “W-Wait-!” He yelled, but it was too late. Andrew splashed in without a second thought. Lukas quickly climbed down, nearly slipping a few times but catching himself. “Andrew!” He yelled as he rushed to the waterside. He got down on his hands and knees and searched the water, trying to see if he could see him. What was he thinking..?! It felt like ages before Lukas saw the blonde reemerge for air. A sigh of relief left him for just a moment. Then Andrew went back under and Lukas’ anxiety rose all over again. Again, another age passed before he saw him again, and this time… he was holding the camera. Lukas’ eyes widened a bit as Andrew made his way to the bank. He waited until he was safely up on land before pushing him in the shoulder. “You idiot-!” He yelled. His voice was shaky, and once glance at his face would tell he was on the verge of tears. “Why did you do that..” he asked, this time his voice was lower as he took the camera. He clicked the power button, waiting. His hands were shaking. Nothing. He let go of it and pressed it again. Nothing. Had the water infiltrated it that fast? Was Andrew’s trip for nothing? The tears Lukas had been trying to hold back finally fell. “You could’ve died or you could get sick.” He said, using his sleeve to wipe one side of his face. He seemed more concerned over the blonde than he was for his broken camera. @Sunfauna

He was expecting Lukas to be grateful for bringing the camera but he was met with something else. A push from the brunette had him stagger a bit, catching him by surprise. Why was he so mad? This was important to him, right? Hearing the brunette hell at him, calling him an idiot made him freeze for a second. He's really mad. But why? This was everything to him. Wasn't it? Then he heard him ask why he did what he did. There was silence as if he didn't know how to answer. He knew the answer, but he felt like it would just make Lukas angrier for some reason. "Because.." he started, now starting to stand up, ringing his hair out. "That camera means everything to you, right? I couldn't let it be lost.." Andrew was about to put his clothes on when he heard the other. His voice was shaky as he saw the tears the other was keeping away and finally fell. He was wrong. It looked like Lukas was more concerned about him than a camera. After all, a camera can be replaced, a person cannot. Andrew opened his mouth to speak but he couldn't find any words to respond with so he shut his mouth. Letting his hands ball into fists, the blonde turned away from the brunette. @Angel

Lukas had almost instantly regretted shoving the blonde, but he did it because he wasn’t thinking. He was just.. scared. Couldn’t Andrew see that? The camera was gone the minute it fell and Lukas didn’t catch it. But.. Andrew? Lukas couldn’t replace him. “What if you had gotten swept under by the waterfall? What if you had drowned?” The tears fell faster now, and he had to speak between little moments of catching his breath and sniffling. Sure, he was extremely heartbroken about the camera, but.. “I can just save for a new camera. I can’t just find someone else to love me.” He said. When Andrew turned away, Lukas felt a tightness in his chest. It hurt. He turned away as well, catching his breath and putting the camera around his neck. Then he wiped his face. Sure, he was grateful that Andrew had gotten it. But the fear Lukas felt while he was under the water.. it was gut wrenching. He made his way to their bag. Luckily, he had a towel packed away in it. He unfolded it and went back to Andrew, just draping it over his shoulders. He didn’t want to make the other upset, so he left it like that for him to use on his own before Lukas walked away again. He sat on a flat rock on the bank with his legs crisscrossed. He’d finally calmed down, and now he was just looking at his camera, running his thumb over its buttons. @Sunfauna

He's right.. Why did I do what I did? Was it because I love him? Or is it because those memories from the past still haunt me. That deep down, I thought about joining him.. To think that thoughts of suicide would come across his mind had him freeze, feeling a towel being draped over his shoulders. Did I.. do that in hopes of joining Mark? No.. that can't be right. I moved on from all of that. I just wanted to help him.. because I care about him.. These conflicting thoughts ran through his mind like a loop on repeat. Did I really just try to end my life, even though the best thing to happen to me is right over there? Slowly, tears began to form in his eyes. Dumbass.. Why did you try to do that? He let the tears fall freely as he tried to dry himself off. Each time he stopped, the thoughts would invade him again. Like a plague they filled his heart. One he wished wasn't so weak. Eventually Andrew managed to dry off and put his clothes on. Making his way towards Lukas, he stopped just behind him. "I'm sorry.." he began, the tears still falling. "My heart just hurts.. and it's.. hurting my mind. It's hurting so much.." he said softly. Depression had finally caught up. @Angel

Lukas’ eyes widened as he heard Andrew behind him. As he listened to what he had to say. He turned around so fast he could’ve made himself dizzy if he stood up. “Andrew..” he said softly. Seeing the other breaking down, it killed Lukas inside. But.. this was new. This meant Andrew was opening up to him. Finally. Lukas stood up, shaking his head. “Andrew, no no, it’s okay.” He pulled the other close to him, holding him tight. “Shh, shh, it’s okay. I’m sorry for getting mad at you, I just..” he sighed softly. He let one hand run through the wet blonde hair of the other, pushing it from his face. “I just was scared. I don’t know how I’d handle losing you after just getting you.” He laughed a bit, trying to help Andrew feel better. What can I do? I want to help him so bad.. “Hey, I think we need to figure out something we can do for you, yeah? Maybe.. maybe we can get you into therapy, that way someone can help?” He pulled back a bit to look at the other. His hands moved to Andrew’s cheeks, trying to help wipe away the tears. After, he pressed a soft kiss to his lips. “I’m here. And I’m not going anywhere, okay? I’ll be by your side through it all just.. please let me in, okay?” He pleaded with him. Lukas felt bad.. for shoving him, for yelling at him. “Forget the camera okay? I appreciate you getting it.. and I’m glad you came out safe. Just please.. don’t do that ever again, okay?” When Andrew finally seemed to calm down, Lukas kissed him again. “I think.. we’ve already had enough adventures for today. Maybe we should’ve stayed inside.” He laughed a bit. “Do you wanna go back..?” @Sunfauna

Feeling Lukas hold him and trying to console him only made him feel weaker. He hated feeling weak but he also hated that he couldn't be strong around him. No matter how hard he tried, he felt so vulnerable. Like a floodgate these emotions swelled in his chest. He felt the other push back his wet, blonde hair from his face. "I know.. but for some reason that feeling of dread came at me so hard.. I felt like I was drowning already and I'm on shore now.." he couldn't help but squeeze the other in a hug. He was afraid to let go, afraid that if he did, he'd be alone again like before. The mention of therapy made his heart sink now. Was he that far gone that he needed therapy? "No, I can't.. if I mention anything about attempted suicide I will get locked away, Lukas. I can't.." he hugged him tighter. "I wouldn't be able to work and I'd see you less. It would hurt me more.." Quickly he let go of the other after realizing he was holding him too tight. But, a soft gentle kiss to his lips seemed to comfort him just fine. Andrew swallowed as he tried to find his words. "Please don't leave me behind.." he said softly, his eyes filling with tears again. I'm so broken right now.. does he truly still love me despite being so vulnerable? @Angel

“Okay okay, no therapy.” Lukas nodded, still giving gentle strokes on Andrew’s head or his back or arms or really wherever he could reach in attempts to comfort him. “I promise, I won’t leave you behind. Ever. You’ll never be alone again, okay?” He kissed him one more time before picking up the bag and slinging it over his shoulder. “C’mon, let’s go get your somewhere warm okay?” He said, gently pulling Andrew along. They made their way back down the trail. The whole time, Lukas tried to take Andrew’s mind off of things. “We can just hangout in the room and do whatever. Lay around, cuddle, there’s the hottub. We can order in! Are you hungry? We could also hang with Skye and Jamie if you want?” He offered. The brunette never let go of the blondes hand. Not once. Once they were in the elevator, he looked at him. “Andrew.. I really do love you.” He said softly, giving his hand a squeeze. “Are you okay? Still cold?” @Sunfauna

Hearing the brunette agree to no therapy and promising to not leave him behind relaxed him a bit. Soothed him, along with that second gentle kiss and any sort of touch the other male gave to try and comfort him. He felt the other hold onto his hand, trying to lead him back down the trail to the hotel. Not once was he allowed to think as Lukas tried to keep his mind occupied with different topics. Honestly, warming up sounded nice since he did feel cold and was still somewhat damp. He was also hungry after all that hiking and swimming, so food was also another option. But he didn't want to have Skye or Jamie see him like this. Jamie had seen him like this once before, which led to Jamie consoling him through sex. Best to keep that memory out of his mind. "Food and the hotub sound nice right now.." he said quietly, feeling the other squeeze his hand when they reached the hotel and entered the elevator. Hearing Lukas say that he loved him almost made him cry again but he held it back. "I'm fine.." he sniffed, using the towel as a makeshift hood to cover his damp hair. @Angel

Lukas smiled as Andrew agreed to the food and hottub, but it quickly disappeared again as he insisted he was fine. “Okay.” He said softly. The elevator dinged. The doors open to their floor. Lukas took his time in leading the blonde to their room, unlocking the door and walking in. He finally let go of his hand to remove the camera from around his neck, looking at it. He’d had it for so long.. and there was so much on it.. His heart felt like it shattered all over again. The thought of saving for another was.. daunting. He set it down on the bedside table before walking onto the balcony, switching on the hottub to heat it up before walking back in. He sat on the bed and grabbed the room service menu from the drawer of the nightstand, looking it over. “They have a bunch of stuff.. here.” He handed the menu to Andrew before picking up the tablet that allowed them to order. He went through and put in what he wanted - some sushi with soy sauce before getting Andrew’s order as well. When he was done, he set the tablet down before moving to the bathroom. Room service had been through and replaced the towels, so he grabbed two and set those outside with the hottub for when they were done in there. When he came back in, he grabbed his bag again to grab his swimsuit. “Room service shouldn’t take too long.. if you wanna go ahead and hop in, I’ll join you once it gets here. You should warm up.” He kissed Andrew’s cheek before moving away to change. He honestly didn’t mind changing in front of him. @Sunfauna

The pair exited the elevator, with Lukas still leading him. His mind felt cloudy, not really sure what he should be thinking about. If he should think at all, afraid those thoughts would come back and invade his head. But the worry disappeared for a moment when they entered the hotel room. At first, Andrew kind of stood there near the entrance watching Lukas take the camera from around his neck and set it on the bedside table. His eyes were fixed on it for a brief moment before he walked farther into the room, removing the towel on his head and setting it down next to the bag. Andrew looked to see Lukas handing him the room service menu which he scanned for a bit, not really sure what he wanted to eat. It was like that sudden wave of depression earlier took away his appetite, but he knew he had to eat something so a simple BLT sandwich would suffice for now. Those hazel eyes watched as the brunette finished ordering then wander off into the bathroom to bring out two fresh towels to the balcony. Guess he should put on his swim shorts at least. With a soft inhale, Andrew dug through the bag for his shorts, and promptly went ahead to remove the damp clothes from his body. He wasn't shy about changing in front of Lukas in the slightest, but those thoughts from before tried to creep into his mind before slapping both his cheeks to snap out of it. "I'm fine" He gave a small smile to Lukas as a way to disregard what he had done before securing his swim shorts that he had put on and headed towards the balcony. Andrew stared at the hot tub, seeing the steam coming from the top of the water. He was hesitant at first, sticking his hand into the water to test the temperature. It wasn't too bad as he climbed into it, seating himself on the little bench that wrapped around the inside of the tub. The warm water began to heat up his body while he looked out ahead of him at the view. @Angel

Once Andrew was outside and sat in the hottub, Lukas sat on the bed with a soft sigh. What can I do..? He had noticed the other male was still struggling. But Lukas had never been in this position before, and he felt utterly useless. When Andrew had slapped his cheeks, it was clear he was snapping himself from something, even with his smile afterwards. Lukas’ heart hurt for him.. it’s not like he could bring his brother back.. Should I do what Jamie did..? He wondered, his face flushing before he shook his head. That feels like such a wrong thing to do… Soon enough, a knock came at the door. He opened it to someone handing off his food. He said thank you before closing the door and making his way to the balcony with it. There was a little outdoor table, so he put the food there before scooting it closer to the hot tub. Then, he looked at Andrew. He looked so pretty. And all he was doing was sitting in a hottub while admiring the view. “Hey..” he said softly, just greeting the other before climbing in with him. The warmth of the water sent shivers up his spine before he sat down beside the other. One hand moved to hold Andrew’s hand, while he rested his head on his shoulder. A moment of silence fell around them before he spoke again. “When.. when you were down all that time ago, and Jamie.. helped you.. did it work?” He asked softly. He was mostly curious. He sat his head up to look at Andrew. “I want to help you. I can still see you struggling..” he had a look of concern in his eyes, giving Andrew’s hand a squeeze. @Sunfauna

The blonde had been overlooking the view from their third floor hotel room. It was still a pretty view, with the sun just beginning to set. Only when he heard the moving of a table did he notice Lukas as he got into the hot tub. He let the other hold his hand even resting his head on Andrew's shoulder. The silence was nice, and being close to the other like this made him fee vulnerable. It was only when Lukas spoke up did the blonde question how to answer as the question itself was something he hadn't expected from the brunette. "At the time when I was at my lowest.. I came to Jamie for help. His words helped some, but I was feeling empty inside. He was the one to offer himself to me out of the blue. As you know already, he's straight. So it was a shock to me that he'd even think about doing such a thing.." Andrew started to say, squeezing Lukas' hand slightly. "I only agreed because I needed something to distract me from those suicidal thoughts. Jamie didn't want to lose another friend to that.. and when I say another friend, I mean that Mark was also his friend.." Andrew paused, staring at the sunset before them before turning himself to face Lukas. "I don't want you to do what he did. What he did to me, for me.. was something he set his mind on. After that night, my heart sealed itself off. Those emotions I have now were once locked away. I'm afraid that if I did that again because of how similar this feels, I might close up again. That wouldn't be fair to you in any regard." Another pause as his voice quietened as if he was afraid of someone overhearing despite nobody being around. "I'm not going to let your first time be for my sake. I won't.." The last thing he wanted was for Lukas to do something he wasn't planning on or prepared for. A first time should be agreed upon out of love, not sympathy or as a means to distract a partner from some past bullshit. It'd make him feel worse than he already was. @Angel

Lukas listened quietly as Andrew explained how Jamie had gone about what he did, and why he’d accepted it, and what happened after. Lukas’ face softened a bit as he listened. It all made sense, it was understandable. Lukas didn’t know how to respond. At first, he was content with just the silence after that. He would’ve been fine if they’d moved on. But what the blonde suddenly said caught him off guard a bit. So much for wondering if he’d want me to do the same. In fact, it was the harsh opposite. Lukas couldn’t help when his eyes widened as Andrew told him he didn’t want him to do as Jamie had. He froze in place, just letting the other rant go on and on, with his last comment making his face flush. It was nice.. that Andrew didn’t want to take his first experience away like that. But at the same time, it once again left Lukas feeling useless. “Okay..” he said quietly after a while. He relaxed his body again and sank back against the wall of the hottub as he stared into the water. Everything Andrew had said had made perfect sense, and yet the brunette still felt lost about it all. He didn’t want Andrew to have those thoughts. He wanted to be able to help him and fix it for him.. but, maybe he can’t be fixed? Not right away. This was just.. another low point. He found himself fidgeting with the end of his swim shorts again. @Sunfauna

"Don't get me wrong though, I'd love to at some point.. I know I can be a bit teasing and pushy when it comes to it. Just my nature I guess. But, still.. I don't want you throwing yourself on me thinking it'll help take the pain away.." he told Lukas, extending a hand to run his fingers through the brunette's hair. "I am sex starved, I will admit that" he smirked. "But I can be patient too" Andrew was reminded how hungry he was when his stomach started growling at him, enough that even Lukas could probably hear. "Alright, I need to eat. I feel like my stomach is trying to eat itself here" he sighs, moving himself towards the table and reaching out to grab his sandwich, leaning over the hot tub so he didn't get any crumbs in the water and took a big bite. The way the bacon's flavor filled his mouth and the mayo complimented the taste made his mouth water. "Fuck, this is such a good sandwich" he admits after chewing and swallowing the first bite. From there, he continued eat his sandwich while overlooking the balcony and below. So pretty he thought. @Angel

Is that the reason I want to do it? Lukas wondered. His head instinctively leaned into the hand that had found its way into his hair for a moment. No, that’s not why.. He furrowed his eyebrows as he continued thinking. It’s more than that. It’s not just about taking his pain away. It’s… He was pulled from his thoughts as he heard Andrew’s stomach growl. He almost thought it had been his own, considering he also felt like he was starving. He looked up from the water as Andrew moved. Lukas also moved to the side of the tub, leaning over it while resting one arm along the edge and using the other to grab his chopsticks and began to eat his sushi. They were just simple California rolls, but were good nonetheless. It didn’t take him long to finish, seeing as there were only 4 rolls, but they were filling. When he finished, he sipped at his bottle of water that he’d also gotten before looking at Andrew. Then he looked where the other had been looking before leaning down, resting his head on his arms that were still on the edge of the tub. “I don’t want to do it just to take your pain away. I want to do it because I want to do it.” He finally said after a long while of not speaking. @Sunfauna

Hearing those words coming from Lukas made the blonde stop what he was doing. Is he saying he wants to.. Does he honestly know what he's saying to me right now? Andrew finished his sandwich and pulled himself back into the warmth of the tub, staring at the brunette for a moment in silence. No, he can't mean it right now.. "Do you hear yourself? Saying that you want to do it because you want to do it.. Are you fully aware of your emotions right now? Is that was you truly want? You're ready for that?" He stared at him with concern. "I don't know if I'm in the right headspace for it. But, you saying you want to makes me want to.. it.. makes me feel something.." He goes quiet for a moment, hesitantly reaching out a hand to rest on Lukas' arm. Then moves a bit closer in the hot tub, not sure if it was his body heating up from being unexpectedly turned on by such words, or if it was the hot tub. "Sorry, I shouldn't assume.." he says quietly, looking the brunette over. I didn't think his words would make me feel this way.. @Angel

Lukas sat up, looking at Andrew with wide eyes and his mouth slightly open. For a moment, he kind of felt like Andrew thought he was dumb. Of course I hear myself.. He thought at first. But then those thoughts changed to, Am I ready? I do want it.. but.. Am I? It felt like his heart was going to beat out of his chest, and he suddenly regretting saying anything at all. Half of him wanted to tell Andrew that of course he wanted it, of course he knew what he was talking about, of course he was aware. He knew that he was hopelessly in love with the other, and he wanted to experience these things with him. But the other half.. “I.. nevermind, forget it.” He said softly, turning his head away again and resting it on his arms as he stared out at the trees. Why has today been so hard? Am I just upset about my camera? Upset that I can’t help him? The feeling in his chest kind of hurt. @Sunfauna

Andrew had half a mind to go over and be all over the brunette, but after hearing his next words, telling him to forget it, it kind of confused him a bit. Does he.. not want to then? It's hard to figure out what he's thinking about.. he thought before slowly moving closer to the other. "It's fine. I figured you weren't" he smiled a bit. "First times are scary. The last thing I want to do is scare you. I get overwhelmed sometimes when I get into that sexual headspace.. In a way, you kind of help me learn to control it a bit.." The blonde sat there in silence, his back against the wall of the hot tub. He sank a bit under the water, letting his head rest above the surface. "Even though Jamie and Skye brought that bag of stuff.. I feel a bit bad we won't be using it tonight" he admits. As if on cue, Andrew heard a noise. He looked around, seeing both balconies on either side empty, except that the door to the balcony on Jamie and Skye's side was slightly ajar. The noise itself was clear to Andrew, which caused the male's face to blush some, hiding his face a bit under the water like a hippo or gator so Lukas couldn't see. Tonight, really? he thought, staring at the balcony next door. The lights were out, so he knew what was going on over there. The question was did Lukas know. @Angel

“Me telling you to forget it didn’t mean I was agreeing that I wasn’t ready.” Lukas’ words had a bit of sass to them. Which he immediately regretted after Andrew’s next statement. He sighed quietly. “I appreciate you being patient and gentle with me, but if I was struggling or scared, we have a safe word.” He reminded the blonde. He was still looking out over the patio. The sun was lowering in the horizon already. A whole day has already passed again? he wondered. Another sigh left him, closing his eyes as he relaxed into the water. “Hm..? I think it’ll be okay to save it.” He responded. Although, something else caught his attention. He sat up, looking in the direction it had come from. Jamie and Skye’s room. He tilted his head, wondering if he had heard right. Then it came again. Lukas’ eyes widened a bit as his face flushed bright red. Were they..? Again. They were. Lukas couldn’t help but giggle, putting his hand to his mouth. But.. what threw him off was the fact that not only did it make him blush, but it.. kind of excited him. It had been unexpected, but with he and Andrew having just been on the topic, and now hearing the lewd noises from the other couple. He found himself glancing at Andrew, and without much hesitance, he spoke. “Sometimes I wish you wouldn’t hesitate, lose control.” @Sunfauna

Andrew remained where he was, listening to those lewd noises from next door. Geez, they never change do they. I can't tell if it's a buzzkill or a nudge of encouragement he thought before slowly lifting his head out of the water. Mainly to breathe, but also to respond to Lukas' comment. "I.. don't mean to. I just care about you and want to make sure I'm not forcing myself onto you.." he said quietly. Even if Lukas comment earlier was a bit sassy, it was hard to tell what the brunette was thinking at times. "I know that we have the safe word.. but I hesitate because it's you. I'm afraid of fucking up again. I don't want to ruin what we have after just getting it. Sorry for being nervous.." the male sank a bit back into the water, the lewd noises next door increasing. "Those two next door are not helping my case though" he mumbled under the water. You're fine, Andrew. You just need to relax. Everything is fine.. The blonde glanced over at Lukas, noticing the blush on his face. The giggle from him. He was doing his utmost best to remain calm, despite being turned on by the lewd sounds gracing his ears. @Angel

Lukas looked over at the other as he spoke. His face softened a bit, and it made his heart skip a beat. Slowly, he turned, making his way in the water to the other, now in front of him. He was kind of knelt so he’d stay under the water. He felt kind of bad for his words now. “Andrew..” he said softly, putting his hands on either side of him on the bench as he leaned forward a bit. “I wasn’t.. trying to make you feel bad for being nervous. I was just..” he sighed, trying to figure out what he wanted to say. It was hard to focus when moans and slapping noises were coming from next door. He didn’t know if it was because it was turning him on or if it was just because it was loud. It was hard to focus. “You won’t ruin anything, I promise. I appreciate it.. you caring so much for me..” He smiled a bit as Andrew retreated back into the water. Now, Lukas moved forward and instead of his hands on either side of Andrew on the bench, he put his legs bent at the knees. Once again, he found himself in the blondes lap. He used his hands to cup his face, making him come back out of the water a bit so he could kiss him. It was short but sweet and passionate. When he pulled away again, he mumbled. “They’re not helping mine either..” @Sunfauna

He says it like he knows for sure, but I feel that I'll- his thoughts were cut short when the other male had moved in front of him, lifting his head out of the water and kissing him. The kiss made him shudder, despite it being a short one. There was passion in it though, which made him think of something. "Lukas.. are you also.." he paused, wrapping his arms around Lukas' sides and pulling him into his lap. He could feel it almost instantly and it made him shiver. The lewd sounds coming from next door were certainly not helping either of them. "Somebody has an Auralism kink.." he whispered with a smirk. "I do too. Sounds like that.. really do something to me.." he hugged Lukas, trying to relax himself. I need to calm down. Just.. calm down. Everything is fine.. Skye and Jamie are just teasing me. They do it all the time However, his heartrate was saying something different. The butterflies in his stomach and the growing ache in his groin was telling him that he needed this. But he was unsure if Lukas wanted it. "Do you want to?" he asked, hazel eyes staring into silver. @Angel

Lukas’ heartrate picked up as he was pulled closer into Andrew’s lap. He could tell the blonde almost instantly noticed that he was hard, making his face turn fire red from embarrassment. He wrapped his arms around Andrew’s neck, slowly nodding his head in response to his question. Were Jamie and Skye doing it on purpose? There was no way their patio door just happened to be open.. they’re so doing it on purpose.. Lukas tilted his head a bit. “Auralism, huh?” He responded. Is that like.. I’m into hearing other people do it? He couldn’t help but giggle again at the thought before he met Andrew’s eyes again. With their chests together, Lukas could feel the others heart pounding. And he could tell he was trying to calm himself. So, in order to help out a bit, Lukas cupped his face once again and pressed their lips together. This time he kissed him longer, putting as much passion as he could into it. Their lips moved together in perfect sync, and he’d nearly ran out of air before he pulled away, gasping quietly. Finally, he answered Andrew’s questions with a question of his own. “Don’t you wanna discover what else I’m into?” He whispered softly. @Sunfauna

"Yes, its a kink focused primarily on sound. Jamie knows I have it, so he has to be teasing me in some way" he admits, watching the other move to sit closer onto him, wrapping their arms around his neck. It felt like his heart would burst upon feeling the other's racing heart. I need to calm down.. But no sooner had he thought it did Lukas grab his face, and the kiss began. It continued for quite a bit, and Andrew could feel himself melting a bit into it. "I do, but are you sure?" he asked, moving a hand down towards the other's waist and pushed him against Andrew's hard dick, a gasp escaping the blonde. "I want you so badly right now.." My mind is starting to feel cloudy, but at the same time clear. I'm confused on whether I want to explore these things with Lukas, but I know for a fact that I want to devour him. I'm not tired like before, I have more energy and strength. I don't want to hurt him, but at the same time.. that lust has me in a chokehold "Show me what you want to try.." @Angel

Lukas pouted a bit in a playful way. “Him teasing and flirting still makes me a little jealous..” he said softly. But in this moment, the brunette couldn’t complain. A soft whimper left his throat as he was pressed against Andrew’s dick. Hes already fully hard.. Lukas shifted a bit, mimicking the frotting from last night as he grinded against the other just a bit. “I’m sure.” He said softly. “I wanna know what I’m into too.. I want to explore with you, please?” He added the please as an extra inscentive. “I want you to bite me more, and we can try different things..” As Andrew told him to show him, Lukas bit at his lip a bit. “I was doing research after the other night.. there’s a few things I read about.. On top of the stuff Skye gave us, I liked the idea of edging.. and overstimulation…” Lukas’ face turned red as he kept talking. Was it him or was the hottub getting hotter? His breaths had quickened out of excitement. “Do I need to beg, Andrew?” @Sunfauna

"Makes you jealous? Even though I told you he's straight? I promise you, that's just banter between him and I. It means nothing. We've been friends for a long time" he reassures Lukas. "I do appreciate that you get get jealous from time to time. Lets me know that you still care" he smiles, leaning in to give him a gentle kiss on the lips before pulling away. Andrew had to suppress his moan by leaning into Lukas' shoulder, feeling the other grind against him. "When you say it like that, I'm always open to trying stuff with you, Lukas. Always" he said softly, pulling away from the male's shoulder. He listened as the brunette mentioned he had done some research, mentioning edging and overstimulation. "Overstimulation and Edging? Hm, I'm not against it but that's a bit torturous, isn't it? You really want to go through with that?" he asked the other. "Explain them to me, since you did your 'research' I wanna know what you know about them" His hands wandered Lukas' body aimlessly, just giving him something to do while he listened to the other talk. @Angel

Lukas tilted his head a bit as Andrew suppressed his moan in his shoulder. “Hey.. my family isn’t around right now.. we don’t necessarily have to be quiet..” he teased a bit. Although, what Andrew said next had the brunette more flustered than he’d made the blonde. Lukas’ face lit up once more as he looked away. I didn’t expect him to make me go into detail.. The aching in his groin was growing, and Andrew’s wandering hands didn’t help. “Torturous yes.. but it sounds fun.. Like the biting..” he elaborated. “Edging is like.. getting really close to finishing, and then not being allowed to, or stopping the stimulation right before.. and overstimulation is finishing, but continuing the stimulation, escalating the feeling..” Lukas’ voice was at a mumble, being shy and nervous about it all now. His hands had wandered to the back of Andrew’s hair, lightly playing with it. The heat of the hottub was getting to him, and in a good way. It was only adding to his excitement, and he wanted nothing more than to experience these things with the male under him. @Sunfauna

Listening to Lukas describe the two while his face was flushed was cute. He already knew what the two were, he just wanted to verify that Lukas knew what he was asking. By the sounds of it, he did. "You are correct. I just wanted to see if you actually did research" he stuck his tongue out in a teasing fashion. "I'd be fine with doing that stuff if you want. Though I think the bed is more comfortable for this type of thing.." he smiled, leaning forwards and planting kisses along Lukas' jawline. "But I don't mind playing here either. You'd overheat though. You're already so warm as it is" Hazel eyes stared into silver before he teasingly grinded against Lukas for a bit. "Let's get out of here before we prune, then we can worry about what to do tonight, hm?" he kissed Lukas on the lips as he went about trying to get up, maneuvering the brunette off of his lap. "Come on" he grinned. @Angel

Lukas’ eyes widened before he pouted again. “That’s so mean..” he mumbled quietly, huffing. He couldn’t keep it up for long though, because Andrew mentioning that he would be fine with the things he’d suggested made him excited all over again. “It’s too hot in here.. Although hot tub sex should be on our bucket list.” He laughed before it shuddered into a moan from the grinding. “J-Jesus..” he mumbled quietly. “Okay okay.” He climbed off the other, crawling out of the tub. His hard on was evident, making his swim trunks look tighter. As he climbed out, he grabbed his towel and started to dry off a bit before making his way inside. Once he was inside, he looked at the duffel bag on the bed before draping his towel over the desk chair and opening it. There was a bunch of stuff in it.. lube, rope, wax, matches and toys.. It was a little overwhelming. He looked up to the other boy before looking down at the stuff again. “Do you just.. wanna start with making out again and go from there..?” He didn’t want Andrew to hesitate or call things off due to his nervousness. He wanted to do this, he just.. needed to take it slow. @Sunfauna

Andrew also got out of the hot tub, grabbing his towel and using it to dry himself off to the best of his ability. "Hot tub sex? Hm, I'd be down for that. Better to do it in the winter though" he grinned. After drying himself off some, he closed the door to the balcony, draping the towel around his neck as he walked over towards the bag. "Damn, it's like a big ol' goody basket.. I forget that they collect so much stuff" he sighed, reaching into the bag and pulling out the lube, looking it over. "Godsend for sex, though" he smiles, setting it down. "Rope for bondage play, wax and matches.. even some vibrators. Those are fun, but I feel I'm better than any toy" he says, taking a seat on the edge of the bed. "I'm fine with anything you want to do" he told the other, looking at him for a bit and then at the bag. "I'd say that if you're wanting to try edging and overstimulation.." he tapped the lube, "Sex is a great motivator. Could also combine it with the rope to add a sense of dominance. Depending on what you wanna do" Andrew rested his hands in his lap, waiting patiently on what Lukas wanted to do. @Angel

Lukas couldn’t help but laugh as he called the bag a “goody basket” before he stood up to let him dig into it. When he pulled out the lube he eyed it a bit. A godsend, huh? Skye had to have put that in there because she knew it was required.. He looked up at the other. “Oh yeah? Better than any toy?” He giggled, his cheeks turning pink. He moved over, climbing back into Andrew’s lap again. It definitely was one of his favorite spots to be. He listened patiently as Andrew explained what was best, and he tilted his head to think for a moment. “Hm.. I’d say.. you dominating me could be fun..” he ran his hands along the others chest while he kept speaking. “But.. I don’t want you to hold back okay? If it becomes to much I’ll use the safe word, I promise. I want to experience this.. experience you for your full potential..” As he was in Andrew’s lap, he pressed their bottom halves close again, but didn’t grind quite yet. He just wanted the other to feel how hard he was already. How excited he was. “I’ll beg on my knees if I have to~” he smiled. His hands still continued to explore the muscles on Andrew’s chest. No divot or freckle went untouched. @Sunfauna

Andrew welcomed Lukas into his lap, feeling the other against him. "Uh-huh. Better than any toy" he smiles as he leans forward and plants a kiss on the male's lips, pulling away to look at him. "This stuff is mainly a godsend for guys. Since the only place available is your ass" he teased. "It's not like a woman who's body basically makes its' own lubricant" Just the thought alone of fucking Lukas turned him on, but he remained as calm as he could be. "But I'm sure you know that already" His arms snaked around Lukas's body, holding him close and letting his hands explore the brunette's back. "We do have the safe word if I get a bit much, and you have an idea in mind of what you want to do." Andrew paused, leaning into Lukas' ear and whispering to the other, "So, I'll ask you this: Is this how you want your first time? You want me to edge you til you can't take it? Then give it to you nonstop until you beg me? Cause I can do that for you, easily" @Angel

Lukas’ face flushed. He knew he wanted Andrew to fuck him, but.. He never really thought into how it was going to happen. Obviously he knew it would have to be in the ass, and he was fine with that. But Andrew mentioning just made him flustered. “Yeah yeah, I know.” He laughed a bit before moving his hands up to Andrew’s chest again, now cupping his pecs. Gentle thumbs brushed across the blonde’s nipples, grazing them and circling them. As Andrew’s hands explored his back, it felt like his body was heating up. God, I’m aching.. He sighed contentedly before smiling. “How many times are you gonna ask before you do, huh~?” He answered the others question with one of his own, and with that question he rolled his hips lightly, pressing their hard ons together. It caused Lukas to emit a soft moan as he did. “Please. That’s what I want, truely..” he said, kissing at Andrew’s neck. @Sunfauna

Andrew's breath hitched a bit after feeling Lukas press against him. Feeling the other male's turn on made him hungry, but in a lustful way. Feeling that kiss against his neck and how hot their bodies were was enough for him. In one quick movement, he leaned back on the bed, rolling himself so Lukas was on the bottom. It only took a couple seconds for that to happen. His hands resting on either side of Lukas' head on the bed. There was this primal urge in him to just let it go, to have at it. The brunette asked for it, so Andrew would deliver. He leaned down, pressing his groin against the other, grinding his hips against it as he pressed his lips against Lukas' lips. They were soft at first, but the more he grinded into the other they became a little bit desperate, hungry even. He pulled away from the kiss to let his lips trail the other's body, planting kisses and teasing bites along the skin. They weren't aggressive bites like last time, but surely Lukas could tell he was holding back a little bit. Until Andrew stopped the grinding and went to kiss Lukas once more on the lips, his hands trailing the other's body. @Angel

Lukas couldn’t help but smile to himself as he got Andrew’s breath to hitch. It was just a small sign that what he did was good.. He had meant to start grinding, to kiss his neck more, but suddenly, he was on his back. A gasp of surprise left him during the flip, and it happened so fast he couldn’t process it before he felt Andrew grind down into him. “A-Ah-“ a moan started to escape, but was interrupted by the kiss which turned it into a soft whimper against Andrew’s lips. He spread his legs under the other, panting through his nose as the kiss got more desperate. When the kiss broke, Lukas found himself instinctively leaning his head up for more. Each little bite and nibble made his heart skip a beat and sent butterflies through him. But.. he noticed something. “Andrew..” he mumbled softly. Once again, their lips met, and Lukas pressed up into it for a moment before breaking it again. “Don’t hold back, please.” He mumbled before pressing their lips together again. The brunette moved his hands down from the blondes shoulders, running them along his chest then around his side to grip his hips and pull him into him harder, grinding his own hips against his. The aching feeling was getting worse and his pants were so tight they were beginning to become uncomfortable. A moment of hesitatation, then he hooked his thumbs under Andrew’s swim trunks and tugged a bit. @Sunfauna

Andrew paused a moment when he heard Lukas' voice, letting his gaze meet the other's. I'm holding back again. I keep doing this, why? Am I really that afraid? Just as he was about to speak to Lukas, he felt the other's hands trailing along his body, gently tugging at his swim trunks. I can't be hesitating. I can't be desperate either. I need to calm down and just let things go where they go.. A soft exhale from Andrew as he pulled away from the other, taking a step back to undo and remove his swim trunks. Letting his dick finally feel freedom felt nice. He stepped forward and began to slowly undo Lukas' swim shorts next. Once those were removed, he joined the other again, gently pressing himself against the other but didn't move his hips. "Sorry, I just worry a lot. I know I shouldn't but, it's becoming a habit" he admits, resting his head in the crevice of Lukas' shoulder and began to slowly move his hips. That feeling from it sent a shiver up his spine, a small gasp and a faint moan. @Angel

Lukas looked at the other with a bit of concern as he got up to take his swim trunks off. “Andrew..” he said softly. Once his own swim trunks were off, Lukas’ face flushed red. He still felt so shy in front of the other, so being completely bare made his heart race. When he crawled back over him, Lukas slowly wrapped his arms around his neck. His body was so warm.. so inviting.. As Andrew apologized, Lukas reached up, gently brushing his hair back with his hands. “I promise, everything will be okay..” he reassured him. As soon as his hips move, Lukas’ breath hitched and became shaky. It felt just as good as the night before, and he was a little desperate to feel it all over again. His own hips bucked up against Andrew’s. @Sunfauna

Hearing Lukas' words that everything would be okay made him wonder if that were true. Would things be okay this time around? It's not like the last time they did it was bad or anything. The bite marks from before had scabbed over, so they were still healing. They had to still be sensitive. So he'd need to find new places to mark him. He was free do to as he pleased, right? That's why the safe word was made a thing. In case he got to be too much, they could stop at any given time. I can't hesitate anymore. I need to focus on what's going on right here in front of me.. Feeling the other buck up under him made him grind against the other more. His movements were slow and gentle before, but he wanted to hear those noises from Lukas, he wanted to feel the other reacting to him. At least enough before the actual fun began. Andrew leaned his head over to kiss Lukas on the lips before moving to kiss at his neck where the bites were and then along his chest as he began to move a little bit harder this time. "Tell me what you want, and I'll give it to you" he whispered, his mouth hovering over Lukas' nipple before dragging a tongue over it. @Angel

Lukas gasped as Andrew moved harder, a soft moan escaping him as he leaned his head back. “A-Ah, fuck-“ he panted. He continued to buck his hips upwards a bit, closing his eyes halfway. It felt so good.. it was like last time, but even more exciting because he knew what was to come. The kisses made him whimper around the bites. They were sensitive, tender.. I wouldn’t mind a couple more of those.. He looked back down towards the blonde, locking eyes as he watched him lick over his nipple. Another small whine from the male. That was one advantage of this hotel - they didn’t have to worry about being quiet. In response to Andrew’s question, Lukas tried to think. It was hard to focus during the frotting, making him reach down in attempts to get Andrew to pause. There are so many things I want to try.. He panted a bit before speaking. “Can.. can we try the hot wax..?” @Sunfauna

Andrew Bishop BOT 04/02/2024 22:14
Feeling the other getting excited at his teasing was such a turn on to him. It meant he was doing something good that the other liked, which encouraged him to tease more. His own moans could be heard with each pass during the frotting. Sensitive but in a really good way. "D-Damn, this fucking feels amazing" he groaned, moving his hips faster, sitting up some and resting his hands on Lukas' chest. He looked down at their dicks, watching them twitch in response to each pass. It felt amazing. "The hot wax? You sure?" he asked, stifling a moan for a second. Andrew reached over for the bag, digging around in it until he felt a candle and the match to go with it. "It's going to burn, so I'll start slow here, okay?" he said, slowing down the frotting but not stopping completely. Andrew took a match out of the box, striking it. His hazel eyes staring down at the other as he brought the candle up to it over Lukas' abdomen. He made sure that the heat from the little flame was focused on the wax and not the wick. It'd take a bit for the wax to actually melt and drip so he kept the stimulation going with slow, gentle frotting. Then, the first few drops from the wax fell, landing just above the other's abdomen. @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 04/02/2024 22:39
Lukas gripped at the blankets a bit as Andrew sat up. He could feel his dick twitching with eagerness at every pass, and waves of pleasure were sent up through him with each one as well. “I’m sure - I just wanna try..” he said softly, nodding. “I promise I’ll tell you if I don’t like it.” He added. Now that the frotting was slowing, he was able to catch his breath a bit, with little moans still escaping him. He watched Andrew start lighting the match, and the anticipation made him even more excited. He was glad the frotting didn’t cease - it was a good distraction if it hurt too much. He watched, his eyes trained on that candle as the blonde held the candle to it. Slowly, the wax started to melt.. it felt like a tease almost. When the first drops finally fell, they landed in 3 little dots on his abdomen. He gasped quietly as his skin instantly burned a bit, making it flinch. “H-Hah..” he panted quietly as the burning feeling diminished as quickly as it had come. “Y-Yeah, I like that, a lot..” It was a lot like the bite marks for the brunette. The pain hurt obviously, but it was an added layer that intensified his pleasure. “More, please..?” @Sunfauna

Andrew Bishop BOT 04/02/2024 22:48
Andrew watched the first few drops of wax fall onto the brunette's abdomen. Hearing that soft pant as the wax burned for a little then ceased. He was making sure to see if Lukas liked it at all, awaiting an answer. In a way, it was no different than being bitten. At least this one wouldn't leave a lasting mark. "My little masochist" the blonde grinned before letting the match heat up some more wax, letting it drip more onto the brunette's abdomen. Of course hot wax would burn for a few seconds, quite painful but it'd subside quickly. The blonde kept the gentle frotting as he continued to apply the wax. Even going so far as to bring the match down towards the other's abdomen and let the wax melt once more along the skin. "Does this please you?" he asked, moving his hips some, a little bit harder now but still slow. "Pain is something you really love, don't you?" He blew out the match, setting them down on the bedside table for a moment before leaning over the other and picking up the pace with his hips. "I'm a bit jealous you find such pleasure from a candle" he glared at Lukas before leaning down and biting down onto Lukas' left shoulder. @Angel

Lukas’ face deepened as Andrew called him his little masochist. God, he’s such a tease.. but fuck is it so good.. Every little drop sent little spikes of pain through him, then the pleasure would invade right after. Each time, his abdomen would twitch under the burning wax. “A-Ahh-“ he moaned softly at the feeling of the wax remelting. He’d pulled the sheets a bit, trying to keep composed. “I-It does..” he replied, looking up at Andrew. There was a hint of innocence to his eyes, despite this newfound kink. When the wax was done and Andrew leaned back over him, Lukas moaned a little louder. The frotting was becoming more intense, and he could feel that familiar feeling of release approaching. Jealous-? He couldn’t even finish his thought before the others teeth sunk into him. A loud moan escaped him this time as he threw his head back, moving his hands to grip his shoulders as he winced. “F-Fuck.. you know you’re better than any candle..” he replied. “A-Andrew you’re gonna make me cum already-“ he whined, trying to keep himself from doing so. @Sunfauna

Andrew Bishop BOT 04/03/2024 03:51
Hearing his moans being that much louder pleased Andrew. It was like music to his ears knowing that he was more pleasurable than a mere candle. After hearing the male under him admit he was close to cumming, he stopped, allowing himself to preserve both his energy and to make sure that Lukas didn't finish. So instead, he planted kisses all along the brunette's body. "Of course I'm better.." he began to say, trailing kisses up to the brunette's shoulder and neck. "I told you that I'd be better than any toy.." he whispered into Lukas' ear before nibbling on it. "Your moans are so much louder. Makes me all the more turned on hearing your pleased with me.." he reached over for the towel he had set down and began to use it to wipe away the wax on Lukas' abdomen. "So, are you enjoying this pleasurable torture?" he asked, running a finger under the brunette's dick in one teasing motion. "Let me know when you want more, and I'll gladly give it it.." @Angel

Despite saying he’d wanted to be edged, it’s not like Lukas knew what it was like to actually be edged. So when Andrew stopped those oh so wonderful movements, the brunette’s eyes widened. A small whine escaped him as the pleasure that had built up slowly diminished. The kisses made him shiver. “Better than any toy..” he whispered back. The comment on his moans admittedly made him more shy. He looked away as Andrew wiped him off. “It just feels really goooooaahh-!” His sentenced turned into a moan, making him pant quietly from the small touch. He looked up at Andrew while sitting up on his elbows. “Hmm.. do you want to do something specific..? I’m yours to do whatever you want..” he said softly, sitting up more so he could pull the other into a kiss, closing his eyes as he pressed into him. @Sunfauna

That reaction from Lukas made the male laugh, enjoying the teasing he gave the other. "I never get tired of your reactions. They always make me smile" he grinned slyly, before watching the other sit up some on his elbows. "Something specific? I have one thing in mind, but I'll save it for later. I think you'd make the most wonderful noises from it.." Watching Lukas reach up to pull him into a kiss had the other male relax some, slowly pushing him down onto the bed. His hand wandered from Lukas' cheek down his chest and towards his abdomen. Then it went further down, gently gripping the other's dick in hand. Feeling Lukas' cock in his hand felt nice. Feeling it twitch with each little touch or movement he made. He began to gently massage the heat with his thumb while his fingers held onto the shaft, rubbing it gently. "I think we can wind down for a bit before I get crazy again. What do you think?" he asked, kissing the brunette in return before taking the male's hand and leading it towards his own cock. "Play with it however you like. It likes you" he grinned, feeling it twitch at the sudden touch. @Angel

Save it for later? He tried to imagine what the blonde possibly had in mind for him, making him shiver with anticipation. He kept the kiss going for a while, his arms originally resting around the others shoulders. That was, until he felt Andrew’s hand trailing. Lukas’ skin twitched under the other’s touch, a soft exhale escaping him as he broke the kiss. “Ngh..” he shifted a little as his cock was grabbed. He arched his back just a little at the initial feeling. As soon as Andrew’s thumb found the tip of it, Lukas’ mouth opened as his face twisted in pleasure. “A-Andrew..” he whimpered the other’s name as he was guided to Andrew’s own cock. Lukas immediately wrapped his hand around it, his fingers feeling for as much of it as they could before he slowly started to stroke it. Soft moans and whimpers were all Lukas could muster. Wind down? What about is this winding down? Silver eyes traced Andrew’s body from his dick up to meet his eyes. He kept them locked there, trying to give a little show with his facial expressions as Andrew pleased him. His own hand picked up the pace a bit, his thumb grazing the tip everytime it came up. @Sunfauna

Hearing the other whimper his name made his heart skip. It was such a nice sound to hear, especially if the reason was because of himself. "Yeah? You like it like this, don't you?" he whispered, stroking the other's cock ever so slowly, more so focused on the massage his fingers were giving it. "Just a slow, teasing handjob, right?" he continued to plant kisses along the male's chest and shoulders as his hand focused on the pleasure. A gasp of his own when he felt Lukas' hand stroking him in return. Though his pace was a bit faster than Andrew's. Did the other like it that much? "Hey now, you're getting awfully desperate over here. Slow down, hm?" he whispered, pressing his groin into Lukas' hand. "I'm the only one allowed to speed up.." He ran his thumb along the underside of Lukas' cock in a teasing fashion before picking up the pace in turn with stroking him. Each time he did, the thumb made a pass at the underside. @Angel

Andrew’s dirty talked only seemed to rile Lukas up more. “I-I do.” He whimpered quietly, nodding his head desperately. He felt like he couldn’t catch his breath for a moment, letting his eyes close halfway as he basked in the ecstasy he was feeling. He had seemingly let himself get carried away, wanting the other to feel the same pleasure he was. That was, until Andrew caught his attention, calling him desperate and telling him to slow down. “S-Sorry..” he said quietly before he whined at the sudden pick up in Andrew’s speed. He panted through his open mouth as he lifted his head a bit to look down at their hands while they stroked each other. “F-Fuck, Andrew..” he moaned, trying to keep his strokes slow as he was told to. But it was hard, especially since Andrew already knew Lukas’ sweet spots. @Sunfauna

"Just like that.." he whispered, feeling Lukas slow down his strokes. He was struggling, he could feel that much. The male wanted to please Andrew, but of course Andrew wasn't going to let him, at least not yet. "You're trying so hard to obey aren't you? Is it hard to think when I touch you like this?" he asked, moving his hand faster along Lukas' cock. "Your head is just empty right now, right? You can't take it? Tell me what you want, Lukas.." Andrew stopped stroking the other after a little bit, slowly removing the other's hand, despite it wanting that pleasure too. "What do you want me to do to you?" His hands wandered Lukas' body, fingertips grazing along Lukas' hips, gripping them as he pulled the other's body closer. His cock resting on top of Lukas' cock, not moving. It felt good even when he wasn't doing anything. Their undersides were already sensitive, so any breath the blonde made would lightly rub against the other. "Do you want me?" @Angel

Lukas’ breath was shaky as he tried to keep it steady. The praise, the teasing.. It was intense. But Andrew was right. He nodded quickly, whimpering. “P-Please Andrew, I want more, please.” He wanted to stroke the other faster, harder, but he was trying so hard to listen to Andrew’s orders. And suddenly, the strokes stopped. Lukas’ eyes widened as he gasped. “W-Wait Andrew please-“ he almost fought to keep his hand on the blonde’s dick. He made eye contact again, a pleading look behind them. Do I.. want him..? He couldn’t help but smile. “Yeah.. I-I do.. badly.. please?” He snaked his arms around Andrew’s neck, pulling him closer and whispering. “I don’t want anything anymore in the whole world right now.. Than for you to fuck me until my brain stops working..” @Sunfauna

Seeing Lukas act this way, hearing him pleading, begging for that pleasure to return only fueled Andrew's lust. He wanted nothing more than to take him and here Lukas was begging for it. Giving him permission. The look in Andrew's eyes shifted, they became much more serious, more hungry. "Since you're asking so nicely.. I'll do it. You don't even have to work too hard for it either.." Andrew reached over for the bottle of lube, handing it to Lukas. "If you truly want me to fuck you, then make sure I'm good and ready. Cause once I start I may not stop.." he leaned down to plant a deep kiss to Lukas' lips before sitting up again. "Make sure you get all of it, or your first time may not be very pleasant" This hunger inside of him was growing, even his dick was twitching in anticipation. He loved hearing Lukas' moans, so the desire to hear him crying out in ecstasy is going to drive Andrew wild. He just knew it. "Get on your hands and knees when your done, I want you to feel all of me.." @Angel

Lukas’ eyes widened and sparkled a bit as Andrew gave in rather quickly, and his excitement only grew. He sat up from under the other, taking the lube in his hand. He’d never done anything with lube, so he looked at it for a minute before looking up at the blonde again. His heart was racing with anticipation. He quickly nodded, moving to where he was sitting on his knees before Andrew pressed his lips to his. A soft grunt of pleasure left him as he returned it, pressing into him almost as hard as he did. Lukas’ face was a deep shade of red. Part of him was nervous, but he was mostly excited. He popped open the cap to the lube and used one hand to grab the base of Andrew’s cock. With his other hand, he applied a good amount of lube before using the top of his thigh to push the cap shut again. Then he tossed it to the side before slowly starting to use his hand to spread the lube. He took his time spreading it from base to tip, and the whole time he kept eye contact with an innocent expression. The only time he looked away was when he felt like he was finished, and he’d double checked that Andrew was fully coated. Then, he slowly turned, getting on his hands and knees for the other. @Sunfauna

Andrew didn't expect the kiss at first, but he accepted it. His body felt like it was on fire right now. That desire burning deep inside of him. When the other had pulled away from the kiss, he watched him sit in front of him with the bottle, watching Lukas grip his cock and begin to apply the lube. He moaned a bit, feeling the other stroking him and applying the lube fully on his cock. Once finished, the other did as Andrew had told him, getting on his hands and knees on the bed. "You're so good at following directions, you deserve a reward.." he sighed, getting onto the bed on his knees behind Lukas, his hands wandering the sides of the other. "I'll give you a small taste, and you tell me what you want.. okay?" he grinned, licking his lips as he positioned himself, grabbing ahold of his cock with one hand and the other resting on Lukas' lower back. He teased the male a bit by lightly dragging his dick along his ass before slowly, pushing the tip inside. @Angel

Lukas’ face flushed at the praise, making him grip the bedsheets. He was so excited he felt like he was shaking. Or was he nervous? Definitely. With it being his first time, he knew he should try to relax. So that’s what he tried to do, taking deep breaths. When Andrew positioned behind him however, it was hard not to tense again. “Okay.” He responded, once again trying to relax himself. That first push in made his eyes widen for a second then squeeze shut. “A-Ah-“ he groaned quietly. It burned like hell, and it was almost impossible to stay relaxed. Holy fuck, and that’s just the tip?! Lukas could still see out over the balcony, so he picked a tree to focus on, which helped him relax a bit. @Sunfauna

Andrew went slow, pushing just the tip of his cock into him. He held it there for a bit, and could feel the other tensing around him. "Relax.. If you tense up like that, it's going to hurt more. I'll go slow, okay?" he said, using his hands to gently rub Lukas' sides. "I chose this position cause it would be easier for both of us. But it only works if you're not tense.." The last thing he wanted to do was hurt Lukas. Sure this was a lot for someone's first time, but he was doing his best to be gentle and patient. "Use your words with me, okay? If it hurts, tell me and I'll stop. If you want me to keep going, then I'll push a little more. I don't want you to be be uncomfortable. This is suppose to be pleasurable. Okay? Don't be scared of me, please" he said the last part softly, running a hand along Lukas's back. "Just think of something that relaxes you, if that will help any.." @Angel

The feeling of Andrew's hands gently rubbing his sides seemed to do the trick, as well as his words. Lukas took a couple of deep breaths to allow himself to relax again. He knew if he needed to, he could use the safe word. But once he'd relaxed, he felt fine. Use your words with me, okay? Lukas' face flushed red as he nodded. "Y-Yeah okay, I'm okay." He responded. "Keep going.." The last bit of Andrew's sentence made Lukas' features soften. He used one hand to reach up and push the sweaty brown strands of hair from his forehead. Something that relaxes me.. He thought for a moment, settling on one of his favorite things: cuddling the blonde. It made his heart flutter, but he was able to relax at the thought of it. As Andrew pushed deeper, Lukas' lips parted as he gripped the sheets again, but the rest of him remained relaxed. He was glad the other was taking his time.. @Sunfauna

Andrew was patient, rubbing the other's sides and back as a secondary way to relax him. It had to be a lot for Lukas, never have done this before. Probably scary even. But Andrew wasn't going to do anything until Lukas was completely comfortable with him. That was the goal. However, he could feel the brunette relaxing a bit more, which was good. "Just like that, relax.." he said softly to the other. "I'm going to push more, so tell me when it hurts and I'll stop so you can get used to it again" Slowly, the blonde began to push a bit more, his cock going deeper into the other. A groan escaped him as he did so, feeling that pleasure of him tight around his cock. That desire to fuck him was strong, but he held back. He knew better. Eventually, all of his length had made it inside. So he'd wait for Lukas to give the okay before he would actually start moving. "How does it feel? Weird, huh?" he smiled a bit. "Probably hurts too, right? I'll go slow, so just let me know how you're doing" Andrew leaned over the other, using his hand to turn Lukas' head towards him a bit and kissed him on the lips. He pulled away from the kiss and whispered, "You'll love it" before straightening up a bit and slowly, moving his hips. @Angel

Lukas panted softly as he felt the other push into him further. Surprisingly, nothing hurt more than that initial push, and he didn't really request that Andrew stop at any point. He was grateful for the communication. As soon as the other was completely inside of him, the realization hit the brunette that Andrew was actually inside, and that he was no longer technically a virgin. His face flushed deeper at this and he actually smiled a bit. "It's a little weird," he giggled, "Not as painful as I thought though.." He added before nodding as Andrew told him he'd start moving. The kiss was unexpected, but returned as Lukas smiled more. When it broke, he looked up at the other before he returned to being out of his view.. His heart skipped a beat. He's so gentle.. He bit at his lip as Andrew pulled out, and gasped again as he went in. It definitely was a strange feeling at first, but it wasn't bad. "I still want to know what you were saving for later.." He said, a soft moan leaving him after the next small thrust. @Sunfauna

"That's good. I'd feel bad if you had to endure a painful first experience" he told the other, moving his hips back and forth into the other. At first it was just little thrusts, ones to get Lukas used to the feeling. For Andrew, this feeling was something he almost forgot about. Something he missed. Hearing Lukas' little moans allowed him to keep going with a steady, slow rhythm. His own faint groans as he moved. It felt so good to be doing this again. He had been so patient with Lukas up until this point so getting to actually fuck him felt amazing. He was tight, but that just stimulated him all the more. "What I was saving for later? I suppose this is what I was saving.." he grunted, adding a hard thrust into Lukas as a bit of a tease before continuing to go slow. "I might get a bit rough later though, I can't help it. But, I think you'll really like it.. the no thinking part anyway.. just pure bliss" He began to pick up speed a little bit now. @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 04/04/2024 04:45
Each little thrust sent waves of pleasure through Lukas’ body, making him moan quietly. The pain from the initial thrusts slowly subsided and were replaced with the pleasure. His cock ached and twitched, desperate for more. He panted quietly between moans, hanging his head down as he closed his eyes, basking in it. His head didn’t stay down for long though, as when Andrew did that one hard thrust, it shot back up, a louder moan escaping him this time. “A-Ahh-!” He whimpered, tugging at the sheets a bit. Slowly, he lowered his front half onto the bed so his ass was still up, but his face was against the bed. “Mmph- I can take it.” He reassured the other. As he picked up speed, Lukas subconsciously rolled his hips back a bit to meet with Andrew’s thrust. This amplified the pleasure for him a bit, making his mouth hang open. @Sunfauna

That loud moan from Lukas was what he liked to hear. It made his cock twitch at the sound. "Oh, I loved hearing that. I wanna hear more.." he grinned, holding onto Lukas' hips, feeling them rolling into his cock. "Somebody likes it and wants more.. I'll give you more. So you better make a lot of noise for me, Lukas" With that said, he started to thrust a bit harder now, grunts and moans coming from the blonde as he awaited to hear those sexual noises. He could even hear Jamie and Skye still going at it in the next room, which only fueled his lustful desires more. "I bet they're listening to us having all this fun. Do you like that? Knowing that I'm giving you all of this pleasure for just you? That you'd get this anytime you want.." he grinned. "Anywhere you want, I'd give myself to you willingly. Fill you up with my cock and just pound you into submission until you can't take it anymore.. How does that sound?" @Angel

Lukas whimpered a bit as Andrew teased him, pointing out that he liked it and clearly wanted more. While it was true, Lukas was still shy about it. With the way he was laying, he could actually see Andrew out of the corner of his eye. The faces he made while pounding into him.. it made Lukas’ cock ache in pleasure. His moans did indeed get louder. Mixed with soft pants and whimpers in between. He could clearly hear the two in the next room. They were probably being fueled by he and Andrew just as much as they were fueled by them. “Ahh- y-yes, please.” He whined in response, closing his eyes tightly. The pleasure only seemed to grow as Andrew thrusted. “Please don’t stop, Andrew..” he moaned louder, still rolling his hips to meet with the blonde’s thrusts. “F-Fuuck..” he buried his face into the sheets a bit, trying to stifle himself. @Sunfauna

Andrew did as Lukas told him, he didn't stop. Not like he planned on it anyway. The friction and feeling of it all was just too good. His cock slid in and out with such ease now, his hands wandering the other's body, feeling Lukas' hips rolling into his own. But, as an added tease, he slowed down considerably, almost stopping as he leaned over the other, his chest pressed against Lukas' back. "Don't be hiding those sweet noises, Lukas. I want to hear more. If you stop singing like that, I'll stop moving.." he said casually before nibbling on the other's earlobe. "So, let me hear you, louder.." he sat up once again, before thrusting so much faster into the other without warning. The blonde's moans alone were loud, trying to keep himself together while he railed the other. His grunts and moans continued while his hands started to dig their nails into Lukas' sides now, clawing along them. @Angel

Lukas felt like he was experiencing pure ecstasy. The pain was completely gone now. His cock bounced with every thrust. That was, until Andrew suddenly slowed down. Lukas lifted his head, confused. “A-Andrew..” he said softly, right before the other told him not to hide. His face flushed deeper as chills were sent down his spine. “Sorry..” he mumbled, before a loud gasp escaped him as the much faster thrusts started. “Ah, ah-!” He moaned, making sure to be as loud as he could with each thrust. Andrew’s lewd moans in his own ears fueled him more as he whimpered, gripping the sheets. When the blonde started to claw at him, he winced, letting out a small whine of pleasure at the feeling. Just when the brunette thought it couldn’t get any better, Andrew suddenly thrusted and hit a spot. As soon as he did, Lukas’ breath hitched before he shuddered. “R-Right there Andrew, hit there again, please-“ he moaned, shaking a bit as he pulled at the bedsheets. @Sunfauna

The moans from Lukas were much louder now, just as Andrew wanted. The noise alone could have been enough for the male, but the sex is what drove him wild. When the other mentioned that he wanted a certain spot to be hit again, the male obliged without a second thought. Whatever makes him sing, I'll give it to him And give it he did. The nails dug into the skin of Lukas' sides, at least a couple more times before moving to his shoulders, gripping and dragging those nails across the skin. Andrew's moans were now beginning to mix with low growls as he thrust harshly into that special spot Lukas liked so much. This time, he wasn't going to let up by any means. He wanted Lukas to feel it all without rest. @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 04/05/2024 02:05
Lukas’ eyes seemed to roll back into his head a bit as Andrew almost immediately gave in to his request. With every thrust into that oh-so-sweet spot, Lukas let out another moan. He couldn’t help it. It felt so good. That on top of his back aching and burning as Andrew dug his nails into it. He couldn’t seem to catch his breath, it being taken from him. “Fuck, A-Andrew~” he moaned the others name sweetly. His muscles flexed underneath the other boy’s fingernails, instinctively recoiling away from them, but Lukas made himself push back up into them, wanting more. He didn’t know why he enjoyed the pain so much. It was just exciting. The adrenaline on top of the ecstasy was a feeling like no other. A knot of pleasure started to form above his cock, and he absentmindedly reached his own hand down, wanting to stroke himself. Precum was already leaking from his tip, and even as his fingers barely began to touch it, his cock was twitching with pleasure. @Sunfauna

"Oh f-fuck.. Lukas.." Andrew moaned, rolling his hips harshly into the other. "You're such a perfect fit. Made for me. You take my love so easily.." he teased, continuing to hit that sweet spot. There was a feeling of his own starting to boil inside of him. A release would be here soon, but Andrew wasn't going to let that slow him down. No, he was going to keep going even after when it came to it. He had missed this so much that he wasn't going to let it end. Andrew let his chest rest on Lukas' back as he kept thrusting into the other. His moans now invading the other's ear due to the close proximity. "You're so excited, aren't you? Cant' help but play with yourself?" Andrew snaked a hand around the male, towards his cock, running a finger along the underside. "It wants to cum soon, right? Hmm.. I want to too.. I think I'm going to fill your insides with me. Every last inch and every last drop.. How does that sound? Does that excite you?" @Angel

Andrew’s thrusts were relentless. Lukas’ whole body was bounced forward with each one, and he tried his best to meet his thrusts with his hips still. Hearing the other moan his names.. it gave him butterflies - a lot like how when they’d first met. God.. his degrading.. is so hot.. He was losing track of his thoughts, unable to complete one or keep track of it for very long. He layed his head sideways so that Andrew could see his face fairly well. His eyes still fluttered upwards to the back of his head at times with each thrust. He responded, going with Andrew’s degradation, degrading himself. “N-No, I can’t help it-“ he whined softly. “I-I wanna cum so bad, Andrew, please.” He spoke, moans escaping him between words as he tried to beg. “Please fill me~” he glanced at the other out of the corner of his eyes, a pleading look behind them. “F-Fuck, please!” He had the sheets balled up in his hands, and he felt like he was getting so close. @Sunfauna

"Can't help it? Mmm, I don't know.. You're so needy right now.. You really want to cum?" he grinned. "You have to beg more. Give me a reason to let you cum. Cause right now, you're just my little fuck-toy.." he growled that last part, harshly thrusting into the other. "If you want to cum, you'll have to suffer in ecstasy for a bit.." Andrew began clawing along Lukas' back now, starting from the upper back and dragging those nails down the middle and lower in one long stretch. He'd go over it and do it again. The marks becoming red until the wounds began to open a bit. He could feel himself getting closer to cumming though, but he'd leave that as a surprise. Instead, he was more hellbent on fucking the absolute life out of Lukas. "Your my fuck toy.. Made for me. Only for me. Only I can hear your song, see you submit under me.." he continued, picking up the pace once more. Doing this furthered his urge to cum. He could feel it swelling inside him. "Tell me what you want, Lukas. I want to hear you sing it.." @Angel

Lukas Wright BOT 04/05/2024 02:52
“I do, I do.” He whined, squeezing his eyes shut. Even when he was teasing him, Andrew wouldn’t let up. Hearing that he would just have to wait made Lukas shift a bit, as if trying to resist Andrew just a bit. His mouth was still hanging open, and he didn’t care that a bit of drool was escaping. He was that far gone already, just enjoying the pounding he was getting. A soft gasp escaped him as his back arched a bit from the scratches. Each time Andrew passed it, Lukas would tense and shake a bit from the pain, but he didn’t want him to stop. Made for me. Only for me. Lukas liked the sound of that. Andrew being the first and only to rail him like this? He whimpered as he tried to slam himself back against Andrew. “P-Please, Andrew.” He whined. “I want..” he started, but he couldn’t seem to make a coherent sentence, his words dissolving into soft moans and whines before he would attempt again. Only to suffer the same fate of his words failing him. @Sunfauna

"Come on, is your brain turning to mush already? Can't think anymore? What a shame.. Just got you and I've already broken you.." he said, gasping a bit at the feeling swelling in him. Shit, I'm getting closer now.. Should I say something? No, let it be a surprise.. I'll just fuck him until I cum.. I bet that feeling alone would toss him over the edge.. The way the other was reacting to him pleased him greatly. Especially with Lukas trying to talk and not finding the words. It was like he lost the ability to speak. "Use. Your. Words.." he commanded the other, thrusting fast and hard, feeling the other slam against his cock in return. "Such a little slut for me.." he growled, which turned into moans as he felt his climax coming. "Shit.. Fuck this is too good.. I'm not gonna stop.. I'm not gonna stop.." his moans and whines were coming faster now with each inch of his release until he couldn't take it. Andrew slammed himself into Lukas one final time, pressing his weight fully onto the other, and biting harshly onto the back of Lukas' neck without warning. His nails dug into the sides of Lukas' shoulders as his climax came shooting out of the tip of his cock and filling Lukas' insides. But even after that release, that sudden stop in movement.. there was that desire to keep going. So he did. After he had cum inside of the other, he allowed his thrusts to continue again, hitting that same spot. Andrew didn't sit up this time, He had his chest pressed firmly against Lukas' back as he humped him, moaning a lot more with each thrust. His cock throbbing with how sensitive it was. @Angel

Lukas’ eyebrows furrowed and he closed his eyes tightly, trying to prove Andrew wrong. He continued to stroke his own cock ever so lightly, his fingers barely touching it. But it was enough to make him whimper. The stern voice of the other demanding he use his words made him open his eyes. “I-I… wa.. wanna.. c-c.. cum..” he stuttered out, “P-Ple..ase.. I-I’ll do an.. any.. anything..” He was getting closer and closer, and he wanted so desperately to be allowed that release. Everything caught him by surprise. The slam of his cock into him, the nails, the bite. Lukas let out a loud moan that was mixed with pain as he lifted his head, eyes wide. The feeling of Andrew’s hot finish filling him.. it made his whole body shiver. My turn.. please..? He thought, but couldn’t manage to get the words to come out. Just small whimpers. It didn’t help that Andrew started moving again, still hitting that sweet spot that made his eyes roll back again. With each thrust, a bit of Andrew’s cum leaked out down Lukas’ thigh. @Sunfauna

It seemed that Lukas was able to use his words after all, even if they were all stutters. But the fact that the male was holding his own even after Andrew had came in him, showed that he was at least obedient. "You listened pretty well. Obedient.. I'll let you cum.. but after that.. I'm going to keep playing with you.." he told the other as he continued to thrust into the male. He could see and feel the cum that he'd shot into Lukas beginning to leak out. His cock was coated in it, but that didn't stop him from railing the male again and again. His breathing was shaky now with each movement he made. Each little bit of cum that seemed out of him from how sensitive it was. But he had said he'd fill him. "Cum for me, Lukas. I wanna hear you say my name when you do" he growled. "Say my name!" @Angel

Lukas’ eyes seemed permanently stuck to the top of his head as he was thrusted into, making him whine and moan loudly. He could feel the cum dripping down, and it made it all that much more exciting. Andrew overstimulating himself inside him..? Lukas knew how to make it even more pleasurable.. Almost as soon as Andrew had told him to and with one or two more hits to that sweet spot, Lukas squeezed his eyes shut as he moaned so loud, he was sure anyone nearby would’ve heard. “A-Andrewaahhh-!” He whimpered as his whole body tensed and he tightened around the others cock as he came, his cum spewing up towards his stomach and landing on the bed below him. Quite a few ropes of it came out before it stopped and he shook as he tried to come down from the feeling. “A-Andrew..” he whined, breathing heavily. He wants to keep going..? God, I’m really not gonna be able to think.. @Sunfauna

The intensity from Lukas' climax had certainly taken the blonde by surprise. He hadn't expected the other to react in such a way. The intensity of his moan, the tightened grip around his cock that basically milked him dry.. It was too much for the blonde. "Fucking Christ.." he gasped, feeling himself cumming again after that harsh squeeze. No, that was it. Lukas had turned the tables on Andrew and stopped him in his tracks. "Shit.. you win Luke.." he breathed, still laying on top of the other. "God, I didn't think you'd react that way.. Fucking hell.." Andrew was also trying to catch his breath as he began to slowly pull his cock out of the other, letting himself fall onto the bed next to Lukas. "Your ass has a death grip, did you know that?" he smirked at the brunette. "I thought you'd rip that sucker right off.." @Angel

Lukas panted as he slowly started to relax. It legs felt like jello, so when Andrew pulled himself out, he flopped over onto his side. His face was still red as he opened his eyes to look at Andrew next to him. He couldn’t help but laugh at his comment. “Sorry?” He didn’t know if he should apologize or just laugh. After taking a moment to calm down completely, he slowly stood up. He was a little shaky, but he needed to clean up. He made his way to the bathroom to do so, cleaning off everywhere that had cum - including his legs. When he was done, he splashed his face with cold water before making his way back to the bedroom. “Good thing there’s extra sheets..” he said more to himself than Andrew, grabbing one out of the closet. @Sunfauna

Andrew smiled at the other, looking at his face, tracing his finger along the sides of his face. "You're fine. It surprised me, but in a good way" He watched as Lukas went to go stand up, seeing the shaky balance. He got up to follow suit, joining the other in the bathroom to clean himself off. Even though he felt tired as shit, it was energizing too. He hadn't felt like this in years. Once he finished cleaning up, he followed Lukas out of the bathroom and towards his bag where his clothes were and pulled out a pair of boxers to slip on. "Extra sheets are nice to have" he admits to the brunette as he went ahead to clear off the used ones, setting them in a nearby bag for cleaning then assisting Lukas with putting the fresh ones on. "I'll admit, I am exhausted.. Are you doing alright? I did go a bit.. rough.. for your first.. time.." he sighs, wondering if he had been too much. @Angel

Once the sheets were cleaned and he had at least boxers on, Lukas flopped onto the bed, sighing as he closed his eyes. He took a moment to just.. relax. He was still worked up, still coming down from such a high. I didn’t think my first time would be so.. exhilarating.. When Andrew started talking, Lukas opened his eyes, sitting up and moving so he was laying in the bed correctly, under the blanket. He held it open for the other to join him. “Hmm?” He tilted his head a bit. “You say that like I didn’t literally ask for it..” he laughed quietly under his breath before giving the blonde a quick and soft kiss. “I’m fine, I promise.” He lifted his hand to gently move Andrew’s hair behind his ear while keeping eye contact. “I.. I love you, Andrew..” @Sunfauna

Andrew crawled into bed under the covers when Lukas held them open. It was nice to be able to lay together and just relax for a bit. He was tired for sure, but it was also nice to just cuddle and talk for a bit too. Aftercare and a Check-In. "I know you asked for it, but still.. I worried I went a bit too far.." his fingertips lightly touched Lukas' forearms where the scratches were, even along the male's sides and back. "I tore you up pretty good, does it hurt at all?" he asked. He turned onto his side for a bit, facing Lukas who began to move his hair out of his face and behind his ear, even leaning in to kiss him softly. "If you say you're fine, then I'll believe you.. I love you too, Lukas. Very much" he smiles before wrapping his arms around the other and pulling him gently into his chest. His eyes began to flutter closed as exhaustion took over. @Angel
