I Scored Myself A Mate

"What do you mean he is lying?"

"He just looks really suspicious. I don't know the way he is acting is like he wants to hide something and now he wants you to stay here with him. It's really weird."

"He said he wants me to get to know him."

"Yeah but how will you get to know him if he is lying? Let's look into this a bit better before you say yes, please. Let's do some research. Snoop around, I don't know" Mark told him while trying to stop him from any rush decisions. 

Alex had considered it. He hoped he wasn't just jumping in like a crazy person. He had decided not to search though. What if they didn't find anything and in the end they were discovered? Luke would know that Alex didn't trust him and that could create a huge crack in the relationship they could possibly forge in the future. After everything that Luke had said he wanted to believe in him. He understood the courage that was needed to speak so openly to him and he didn't want to betray that by doubting him.

"I understand your concerns but you didn't hear what he told me. He was so kind and I know I am repeating myself but I want to believe in him."

"Are you sure? Being cautious it doesn't mean that you don't believe in him or that you don't like him. It's natural, you don't know him." Mark explained but Alex seemed resistant to understand or side with him.

"I need to think about things a bit more" Alex said. He wanted to stop the conversation and halt all those doubts that were slowly being forged in his mind. He had decided. Time was the cure for his worries. All he needed to do was wait and get to know him. 

"Okay. As long as you don't turn blind from love or something" Mark said and emptied the content of the remaining chips right into his mouth. He munched on them after couching loudly because some of them had ended up in the wrong pipe and got up. "I want to take a shower."

"They told us not to roam."

"Do I look like some house held pet to you? I stink. I won't enjoy my food like that. Are you going to come?" Mark asked him but Alex only sighed. 

He definitely seemed obedient and maybe a bit stupid. Not wanting to step foot outside the room but Mark hadn't experienced what he had. The consequences of making a wrong move in this place could end up being lethal. Almost like a prison, he as a human should always be aware of his surroundings. Being tame though was not one of his strong points. He had an iron will and the smell that he could sniff from his armpits were enough for him to break a rule. He stood up and followed Mark who was ready to open the door.

"That's my boy" he said and with his right hand turned on the knob. "Fuck!" he yelled loudly and jumped up in fear when he faced a frowned Luke.

"I thought we told you to stay in."

"We would be in the building." Alex said with a guilty smile and Luke couldn't help but laugh. "We really need to take a shower."

"I can see that or more like smell it" he said and with his hand he pinched his nose. "That's why I came." He said and passed them a few towels and clean clothes. "I will take you to the showers." He said and the two boys followed them relieved.

"See? He is not that bad" Alex whispered at Mark who simply rolled his eyes. He still felt like a pet being taken out on a walk. 

The dorms, as Alex decided to call them were all circular floors and in every five or so doors there was a blue one that wrote restroom. Inside it was separated in three areas. One with sinks, one with showers that were separated giving a bit of privacy and another with bathroom stalls.

"If you use the toilet open up the windows we don't want any smells." Luke teased them and Alex blushed while Mark ran in the showers, hugging his towel and clothes. 

"Umm..I won't take long. I am fast" Alex mumbled not knowing what to say in such an awkward situation. Luke smiled at him and nodded. He happily jumped in one of the counters that had the sinks and sat there his long legs hanging. 

"I'll wait." 

Alex couldn't really focus in washing himself, even if that acquired the least of focus. Thinking that Luke was out there while he was just a few meters away completely naked made him intense. The warm water was relaxing and he loved the pleasant smell of the vanilla bath foam but with every sound he would jump and peek outside to see what's going on, only to realize that sometimes it was the pipes and others the air from the open windows. In the end sadly he didn't enjoy his shower and once he felt clean he hopped out wrapped in a fluffy towel from his waist down, thinking there was no time for actual relaxation. He expected to see Mark but he heard the water still running and not even one ginger head outside so he assumed he had gotten lost in there without sharing the same worries as him. 

"Hey" Luke greeted him and his smooth voice echoed in the empty room. "Are you done already?"

"Yeah. That felt good" he said and couldn't help but notice how Luke's eyes were scanning him from head to toe. He fidgeted a bit and blushed as he didn't seem to want to hide it. Luke jumped off the sink and approached him while holding a towel.

"You look really cute." He whispered and started drying Alex's hair, with gentle motions. "We don't want you catching a cold" he joked and Alex cutely nodded, shy to meet his gaze.

Luke wanted them to look at each other. He wanted Alex to know about the storm that was forming in his icy eyes. The fire burning at his heart and how at his presence he could turn into a mess. He gently took his face in between his palms, leaving the towel at the top on his head, and raised it. 

Alex's wet and long eyelashes made shadows on his flushed cheeks and Luke heard him gasp. He couldn't get enough of looking. His face was perfect, from the delicate nose to the plump lips and vibrant eyes he looked so elegantly beautiful.

He brought him closer, so close he could feel Alex's trembling breath landing on his lips. They were itching for a touch. Just a taste of his flesh and if he resisted he would let him go but at that moment he really wanted to kiss him. He had been wanting to for a while. And as his eyes traveled to his naked, defined upper body he wished to do so much more but just a kiss would be good for now. He would even beg if he had to.

"Luke I…" Alex tried to speak but his voice was short, he was speaking like he had run a mile and that's all Luke needed to know to devour him. 

Alex was feeling the same fire ignite inside him. That unspeakable thirst and something very beastly called out to him, like a huge wave. When Luke finally kissed him he felt like he had been set on fire, his chest was in pain from the pressure. But that kiss felt good even with the pain. He wanted more and more. And when Luke kissed his exposed neck next he let out a loud moan. 

Once he heard himself he was brutally woken up and hit by shame. He pushed back and looked around hoping that no one had seen them. Luke seemed disoriented for a while not sure why their moment came to a sudden stop but as he watched Alex filled with uneasiness he understood. 

"It's okay don't worry no one is here" Luke tried to calm him down and caressed his cheek. 

"I…I'm sorry I didn't mean to…"

"Did you like it?" Luke asked him with a devilish smile.

Of course he did! He had just kissed an unbelievably hot guy while he was half naked. He had already forgotten the slight pain he felt on his chest during their kiss because the pleasure was simply overwhelming. He wanted to kiss with him again, while Luke held him in his arms. This moment would be one his favorite in the whole world. Unable to express himself he nodded shyly. He hoped that Luke would know. How precious this moment was and how he cherished it deep in his heart.

"Excuse me! Can I get out of the shower now?" Mark shouted from behind them, still inside the shower. "I mean, my eyes bled once today I don't want to see it again."

"Yeah come out." Alex said and giggled. Luke smiled back at him, calm and happy. He liked him like that. He hoped he would get to see him every day with that carefree smile on his handsome face.
