The Stars In Your Eyes

Jian Kang Lu regret their bathroom activity. When he was controlled by his desire and lust, he didn't notice anything. The only thing he feels is only the divine pleasure from his kitten's body, his kitten's moan, his kitten's touch.

After they released that primal sexual instinct, both of them panting wild. Their breath gradually turned to normal after some time. His kitten still laid upon him, hugged him, just like he hugged his kitten tight. Jian Kang Lu hold that tiny waist, caressing his kitten's delicate abdomen down to his thighs that limp from the after sex state.

When Jian Kang Lu's breath turned to normal and his soul returned to earth, he just realised the water in the tub had already turned cold. He hurriedly propped his kitten's body to the proper position and opened the plug. Then he turns the hot water to rinse his kitten's body.

He cursed inside. He knows his kitten is sensitive to cold weather, and now he's the one that pushes his kitten to be exposed to cold water.. Jian Kang Lu rinsed both of them. His kitten's face that was blushed before now turned pale. His kitten still looked at him in daze. Letting him wash his naked body.

That face of his kitten.. Really enchanting.. Jian Kang Lu can't hold himself to kiss his kitten again and again while he washed that captivating body. After he washed his kitten and himself clean, he dried his kitten's body and put him in the bathrobe, then carried him to the bed. Tug him under the blanket.

Jian Kang Lu just realised their bathing consumes almost an hour. No wonder the water was getting cold and his kitten's face turned pale.

"Baby, let's just order room service for our breakfast. Or you want to go down?"

His kitten's look so cute with only his pair of eyes exposed. The rest of his body is under the blanket.

"Let's just eat here, gege.."

That muffled voice, itch Jian Kang Lu's heart. Like a feather tickling his core. He kissed his kitten's forehead and brought him the hot tea.

While waiting for their breakfast, Jian Kang Lu enrobe the clothes he picked from the closet to his kitten's body. His kitten obediently raised his hand, put his legs on the pants. Let Jian Kang Lu treat him like a 7 year old toddler.

After breakfast, Jian Kang Lu asks him whether his kitten wants to sleep again or stroll in central park like they planned. His kitten pondered.

"Maybe we have to cancel our trip to the Statue of Liberty tomorrow, gege.. Today let's stroll around here, and tomorrow go to Central park."

Jian Kang Lu really regrets why he can't hold his own lust. He knows his kitten wants to see that statue, and he also wants to show many things to his kitten. So he just hugged his kitten.

"I'm sorry, TangTang.. Let's come back here next year. Maybe in spring. I promised to show you many things… But it seems I can't fulfil my own words."

His kitten just caresses his head, and kisses his cheeks. Jian Kang Lu really felt that he was in a dream. A long sweet dream that he won't wake up.

They stroll around the times square, looking at the crowd. December is really festive. Christmas and New Year are coming, so the town celebrates it grandly. Lots of people walking here, warm up the winter in the city that never sleep.

They enjoy lunch in one of the beautiful restaurants located at one of the hotels in Times square. Jian Kang Lu chose the window seat so they could enjoy the relaxed vibe and electric energy from the crowds out there.

The food is not something that exceptional, but their vegan options vary. Besides, they have a late breakfast so Bai Yutang wasn't really hungry. They also drink some wine and the cocktail while enjoying the view.

When they stroll back, looking at the high class store in fifth avenue, Jian Kang Lu offers his kitten several times to buy something he wants. Sometimes Jian Kang Lu really wishes his kitten could act like his ex. Most of them like shopping.

But his beloved kitten never asks for anything, and always refuses his offer to buy him something.

His kitten don't want a backpack from branded store, his kitten don't want limited edition shoes, his kitten don't want to change his phone into the latest edition, his kitten also refuse Jian Kang Lu when he want to buy branded bags or cosmetics for his kitten's mother and sister.

"Our luggage is full, and don't buy another luggage." His kitten warned him with his cute phoenix eyes.

Jian Kang Lu can only nod. He could not say no to that face. Jian Kang Lu himself is not a person who likes to go shopping. All his things are good quality things, so they could be worn for a long time.

In the end they didn't buy anything. And just chatting while strolling around. At least, his kitten's eyes are so bright and said he is really grateful for Jian Kang Lu brought him here. He loves this city, even though his kitten said he likes Boston more.

Jian Kang Lu laughed when his kitten said that this city is really expensive. His kitten still can't forget how expensive that fried rice in the Chinese restaurant was.

They're back to their hotel in the afternoon after spending five hours outside. They prepare themselves to go to Broadway. Jian Kang Lu chose to watch Hamilton. He himself has not yet watched that show, but the review said it was really good.

It was a musical show about the American Founding Father, Alexander Hamilton. Both of them weren't really familiar with this historical figure, so they search for the information first before they watch.

The show itself really proved that it was worth being one of the best selling shows on Broadway. The song, the dance, the energy from the cast was really magnificent. Even though Bai Yutang's english skill is limited, he really enjoys the show.

Jian Kang Lu was really glad when his kitten was still lively chattering, talking about the show when they walked back to the hotel, tried to find something to eat.

"Gege, I can't imagine how tired it is for the actors. All of them could sing so well even though they danced and acted all the time."

"Mmm.. True. Most of these people in this business are really good and very talented. These shows are a little bit different from the other famous Broadway shows. They showcased the modern style and lots of rap songs. Next time we come here, maybe we can spend more time watching more shows."

"Yes gege, I really like it!"

"Me myself loves the show from Andrew Lloyd Webber. That man is a genius. Next time let's watch The Phantom of The Opera or Cats."

The next day they spend the time strolling around the central park. This is one of Jian Kang Lu's favourite places in New York City. A square shaped park surrounded by the concrete high rise building. This place also has lakes, and some street musicians play in the park.

They have their lunch in the boat shaped restaurant beside the lake. The scenery in the restaurant is really breathtaking. Bai Yutang pointed to the menu when they ordered. "Look gege, these scallops and risotto only cost 36 dollars. How could that fried rice cost 40 dollars??"

Jian Kang Lu laughed, "But that's the only restaurant you ever ask from me. I think even if it costs a thousand more, I'll gladly pay. Besides, the taste is really good compared to other Chinese restaurants here."

Bai Yutang just pouted. "I could cook the same fried rice that costs much less than that."

"Mmm.. My TangTang's cooking is of course the best dishes in the world."

Jian Kang Lu could see his kitten's face blushed and said nothing more.

The egg benedict and the seared sea scallops with risotto is delicious. The waiter also suggested that they try their jumbo lump crab. Bai Yutang ordered the sailboat pancake as their dessert.

They stroll again in the park, and then go back to the hotel. Bai Yutang's favourite place is the Bethesda Terrace and Fountain, also the Belvedere Castle. They took a lot of pictures there.

Jian Kang Lu still remembers that once when his kitten was missing, he didn't have a single photo of his kitten. So now he took a lot of pictures of his kitten while his kitten was busy taking pictures of the statue and monuments.

Bai Yutang finally noticed, and asked what Jian Kang Lu was doing. Bai Yutang saw that gentle and reserved face turn a little bit red and panic. Bai Yutang looked at the handphone in Jian Kang Lu's hand. Then he asked in a low voice.

"Are you taking pictures of me, gege?"

Jian Kang Lu is really panicking now. How if his kitten doesn't like he took pictures of him without permission. He still doesn't know whether his kitten is comfortable with their relationship.

Jian Kang Lu had bad experiences about these kinds of things. Because Zhang Min is really afraid someone will know about their relationship, so Zhang Min despises body contact when they're outside.

Zhang Min also don't want any pictures taken or anything that could be a proof that he was gay and have indecent relationship with Jian Kang Lu. For those four years they spent as lovers, the only pictures of them together is the picture that Jian Kang Lu took silently when Zhang Min was sleeping. And he put it in his hidden folder in his laptop.

Bai Yutang sighed inside. Since they're together, ever since that day when both of them admit their feelings, he saw many new expressions from this man. The faces he never knew.

Jian Kang Lu that he knew is the man that is always gentle, reserved, knows everything he needs to do and how he should act. Sometimes, Bai Yutang also sees the lonely side of Jian Kang Lu, although it was very rare.

But now, his lover seems to freeze several times if he asks something. Show him that regret and anxious expression, restless face, and a face that shows he doesn't know what to do. Don't know how to answer. Don't know how to act.

Bai Yutang reaches that frozen hand that still hold mobile phone with the camera facing toward him. He held those slender hands, and took the mobile phone from Jian Kang Lu's hand. It was full of his photos.

Bai Yutang raised his head, and saw Jian Kang Lu still frozen. Before this man's voice coming out from that slightly opened lips, Bai Yutang raised the mobile phone, and changed it into the selfie mode.

"Let's take pictures together, gege. Where's the fun of taking pictures of me alone?"
