~Two sides of a man~ (Bellala99 and Ayakashiu) 18+

[Ayakashiu]

Liam really wished that the blonde wouldn't peck him on his lips. His friends were probably in shock already, since Liam never showed he might like guys. He didn't plan to keep their relationship hidden but..he did wish he could explain it properly to them, not shock them like this. But he couldn't help his cheeks becoming red, when Pierre whispered he's his boyfriend; that's what Liam wanted them to be too.

 

"Thanks, but I don't need to be.." Liam's words were cut short, when the blonde picked him up. He whined but couldn't really resist because that was more painful than walking. "Come on Pierre, I can walk!" He was crimson red and really ashamed, hoping his friends won't decide to look back and see this. But he really didn't have much choice; if he moved too much it felt like his hips will fall off.

 

"Beach?" Liam forgot that they talked about this already. "Yeah sure just..we need to empty your room first, since my friends are here already." He didn't look forward to that from many reasons, the most important being that it will be awkward probably and that he'll die from pain.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Pierre snickered when he heard Liam try to refuse being carried. "Oh, sorry, you said something? Couldn't hear you over your aching hips." The blond teased with a carefree grin, adoring the way his boyfriend's cheeks turned bright red. "You're so cute." He murmured softly and pressed a quick kiss to his lips before entering the bathroom.

 

"Time for you to shower, hn~?" The stripper muttered with a chuckle as he pecked the other's cheek and let him down on the ground. Before actually removing his hands, though, the blond lightly slapped the other's ass, a wide grin on his face. "I'll go make myself some food and coffee. Kay?" He asked with a smile, lovingly running a hand over Liam's hair. "Don't overuse your hips, sweetie~"

 

After all that teasing, Pierre finally left the bathroom and went to the kitchen. And, of course, there he found the guys, still waiting. The man offered them a small smile before walking to make himself the coffee. He lightly scrathed his head, remembering all the marks on Liam's neck and chest. Ah, he hadn't seen those himself today, had he... Pierre was pretty sure that his boyfriend would have quite the cute reaction to those.

[Ayakashiu]

Liam decided to sulk, since the blonde enojoyed to tease him too much and didn't say anything more until they arrived in the bathroom. "Yeah I'm just gonna clean myself quickly. You be nice to my friends okay?" He gave the blonde a not-amused-at-all look for his last comment, seriously embarassed by all this teasing. It wasn't like he was an old man, although he did feel like that on moments, which made things only worse.

 

When he was alone he pulled his pants down, noticing a bruise on his torso. When he went to check it out in the mirror, he was left so shocked, he just started in his reflection for the longest time. He went like that before his friends. That was the most embarassing moment in his life, or so it seemed to him. He always cared about how he looked, especially in front of his friends, since he wanted them to like him.

 

----------- Meanwhile in the kitchen --------------

 

Leo was obviously sulking and Alec seriously didn't want to deal with him. His friend was acting weird lately and Alec figured he and Liam must have something going on, but they will sort it out themselves. Rob was on his phone, like usual, so Alec had nothing to do but to think about what he just witnessed. He was the one who pushed them all in the kitchen, buying Liam some time to get ready. But his thoughts were soon interrupted, since a blonde guy who was clinging to Liam before, joined them. Alec just gave him a nice smile, hoping he can get some info, about what's going on, out of him.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Pierre stayed quiet all the while he was making himself coffee. He tossed a few glances at the guys around him, noting one of them sulking. He really didn't get why - there wasn't any reason, unless he was hoping to get Liam too... Which wasn't happening, that was for sure.

 

With a quiet sigh, the blond pulled out a cup and poured his coffee into it before going to sit down at a table. He looked at Alec and let out a smile. "You're all so quiet." He commented before leaning against his chair and sipping the coffee. "What, didn't expect this?" The stripper joked with a soft laugh.

 

He supposed that this wasn't expected at all. Liam probably never showed signs of liking guys - or girls, either. So coming to find their friend with a boyfriend and love marks all over his neck and chest was probably a little bit surpising. Okay, not a little bit - a lot.

[Ayakashiu]

Alec tried to be the polite one out of three, so he was the one who replied to the blonde. "No we didn't expect this," he said with a polite smile, not really deciding if he likes the new guy or not yet. "Oh we're so rude, we didn't even introduce ourselves, I'm Alec, the guy on the phone is Rob and.." He was cut off by his third friend, who introduced himself. "Hello, I'm Leo." The sulking friend had a nice smile on his face now and he even held out his hand to the blonde guy, which made Alec raise an eyebrow. Why suddenly so friendly?

 

-----------------------------------------------

 

Liam really hurried with the washing up and getting dressed, but he couldn't help himself, he was really pissed at Pierre. He couldn't believe that the blonde made all those marks on him yesterday; it felt like he was a territory being marked. And the worst part was that his friends saw that. He hurried to the kitchen, seeing everyone sit behind the table and it looked like they were just making intoductions. "Hey guys, I'm really sorry that you had to wait for me! Did you get to meet one another?" He tried to be cheerful, really hoping that all of them will get along.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Pierre was kind of relieved to see the guys not being complete assholes to him. He may have deserved to be treated badly after this morning, but whatever... His smile widened a bit as he shook the extended hand and chuckled lightly. "The name's Pierre. Nice to meet you." The stripper said with a smile, the smallest hint of suspiciousness in his eyes as he looked at Leo. He didn't feel like his friendliness was all too real. Maybe it was just his imagination...

 

Just then, his boyfriend came in and a smile flashed on Pierre's face. "Oh, you know we'd wait for you whatever long it takes." He winked with a laugh and jokingly patted his lap, a teasing expression on his face. As all of them confirmed now knowing one another's names, Pierre couldn't keep his eyes off of Leo. He needed to ask Liam about that guy later... He seemed jealous just a while ago, could that be the case after all?

 

His eyes soon turned back to his boyfriend as his smile softened slightly. He could see the small limp from the night before... Guess he did well enough after all.

[Ayakashiu]

Liam shot a disapproving look at Pierre, wanting to let him know he's not happy with him right now. They will need to talk after though, they can't in front of his friends. He noticed that Leo wasn't really happy and Liam remembered he was like that in class already; he really needs to ask him if anything's wrong. "Yeah well I don't think all of you will be really happy, if you would need to wait for me however long I would take," Liam tried to laugh it off, feeling really uncomfortable with Leo's mood. What's up with him?

 

This time it was Rob who spoke first. He put his phone in his pocket and said, "Don't worry dude, just show us what we need to do and then buy us food and we'll be all happy." Liam smiled at that as did Alec; Rob always knew how to lighten the mood. "Ok then, let's go," Liam said, turning around to head to his work room. He still wasn't sure where he'll put the stuff from there, but living room seemed like the best solution for now. He can always moves the stuff later if he will feel the need.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

The gaze shot at him made Pierre slightly uncomfortable. Did he fuck it up? The blond moved his gaze down at his coffee and continued drinking it quietly, feeling a little bit too self-conscious about all that. Hell, he didn't want to screw things up here... But maybe it was too late? What if he already did? Hell, of course he already did. Liam was so obviously pissed at him... The stripper still laughed along with the others, managing his usual flawless fake laugh. Flawless meaning it didn't seem fake at all.

 

When everyone stood up, Pierre followed along. He wouldn't let his boyfriend move the furniture around with aching hips, that was for sure. So when they reached the room, he lightly pecked the other's cheek and smiled. "You just tell us what to do." He murmured softly, a somewhat apologetic look in his eyes. He was pretty sure that he was feeling honest regret... But seriously, by now he couldn't even tell if his feelings were real or not himself.

[Ayakashiu]

Liam was relieved that Pierre decided to help too; this way it wouldn't be so obvious that he isn't able to lift anything and the boys probably won't tease him in front of the blonde. Or so he hoped. He shot a small smile at his boyfriend and whispered "Thank you," when the other gave him a kiss and tried to help him.

 

"So, I thought it would be best if we just move everything in the corner of the living room; it's big enough." Liam went to the table and started slowly moving things off of it, so it would be easier to carry, but he did it carefully. Pierre really did a number on him yesterday. "Do you have any boxes?" came the question from Alec. "So that we can put the books inside. It will be easier to carry." Liam just pointed him to the kitchen, where there were still some boxes from when he moved in. Rob and Leo were chatting and Liam hoped that Pierre doesn't feel too uncomfortable in the company of people, who he doesn't know.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Pierre smiled slightly as the other thanked him, his caring side showing. When Liam went to move the table, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and walked next to him, doing most of the job. He tossed a small, worried glance at the white-haired male before he was given the opportunity to make his boyfriend go. "Hey, why don't you just go and take care of the boxes and books? You'll know best how to sort them." He offered with a light smile, his gaze showing that Liam better do that.

 

The stripper didn't join in the conversations, finding no use or want to do that. He just moved the table and bookshelves with the other two, sometimes looking at Liam to make sure everything was still fine. The guy deserved something nice today... He was definitely treating him to some sweets; or whatever he wanted. The blond seemed lost in his thoughts most of the time, thinking about just how much he didn't know about his boyfriend and how much his boyfriend didn't know about him. No... Actually, Liam barely knew anything about him. He knew almost nothing - and he wasn't sure he could tell so much right now.

[Ayakashiu]

"Oh right, that would be the best," Liam replied to the blonde, smiling gratefully. It was the easiest job so he could take it easy and it made him happy that Pierre was so attentive. They all worked hard so it didn't took them long to finish, but still it made Liam feel the consequences of last night more. He left the cleaning of the room for later, focusing on getting to the sofa and rest right now.

 

"Thanks a lot guys, you really saved me today," Liam said when they were all in the living room, getting a rest. "So what do you want to eat now?" He hoped it will be a delievery or something, because he didn't want to go out to eat right now. He looked questioningly at Pierre, if maybe the blonde has any wishes.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Pierre was happy that his boyfriend agreed on taking the easier job. Really... Liam should've rested more instead of working along. When they were all sitting on the couch, the blond moved closer to his boyfriend and dropped an arm around his shoulders to press a kiss to his cheek. "I'm treating you out for dinner later." He used that small moment of being close to his ear to mutter this, too.

 

When the question was asked, Pierre shrugged and smiled. "I'll take whatever." He said with the same smile still on his face as he brushed his fingertips over his boyfriend's shoulder. He could see the Leo guy glancing at them a bit more than often, but nothing more than that. The blond could swear he saw a jealous glint in his eyes, but it was probably just his imagination.

[Ayakashiu]

"I'm treating you out for dinner later."

That didn't make Liam as happy as it should have. Any other day, he would be jumping through the roof from excitement, dreaming of a romantic dinner in a nice restaurant. But today, he only wanted to laze around the house, doing nothing productive. Cuddling while watching a TV sounded perfect to Liam right now, but he will tell that to Pierre later, when they'll be alone.

 

Since Liam wasn't sure how to act, he just sat there and left the blonde do what he pleases. His friends already know what kind of relationship they are in, so if they didn't feel uncomfortable, Liam didn't mind Pierre touching him. All the other guys were okay with anything too, so Liam decided on chinese. "Rob, put that phone of yours to good use once and order us chinese, will ya?" He was too lazy to get up right now, his hips aching from all the moving. "And if anyone of you wants to drink something, you know where the kitchen is." This didn't really make him a good host but his friends won't mind. But he didn't know about Pierre, so he turned to him. "Are you thirsty maybe?"

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Pierre was absentmindedly tracing various ornaments over Liam's upper arm with his fingertips, seemingly very focused on that. He let out a small hum in response to his boyfriend's mention of chinese food, his way of telling he was alright with that too. While spicy things weren't really his favorite thing, he could get something he liked. "Hey, get me some rice with vegetables from there." He requested with a light smile, pulling back from his "work" to say that. His brown eyes turned to Liam at the question and he shook his head, pressing a small, soft kiss to the younger's lips.

 

"I suppose we leave the beach for later, huh." He muttered out softly as his arm dropped around his waist instead. This was more comfortable to him... "Wouldn't want you straining your hips further." These words were muttered quietly into his boyfriend's ear, a small grin on his face as he pressed a kiss to his earlobe. He knew he probably appeared overly-sweet and cheesy to the other guys, but that wasn't going to stop him at all.

[Ayakashiu]

Liam wasn't bothered with Pierre touching him, but did he had to push it with the kissing and all? He didn't want his friends to be uncomfortable around him, even though it looked like they accepted it. They would probably be uncomfortable if a girl was doing that to him, let alone a boy.

 

"Ooookaaay. I'm gonna go make us something to drink," Alec muttered before disappearing in the kitchen and Rob followed him suit, "Yeah and I'm gonna order us food." So now there were only him, Pierre and Leo, who didn't look really happy to Liam, in the room. He opened his mouth to say something casual, but Leo was faster. "You know, you two can find a room for this Liam! It's not like we enjoy watching you drooling all over the guy!"

 

Liam could only stare at him with his mouth wide open. Leo was always nice till now; this was the first time Liam saw him act like this.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Pierre felt weirdly satisfied while watching the guys leave. His fingers lovingly danced across Liam's hip, creating various patterns on it. He let out a few soft hums in agreement before Leo got his attention. He looked up at the guy and raised a brow before sighing.

 

"Shut up and grow up. Just 'cause you're jealous doesn't give you the right to talk like that... As long as Liam doesn't express dissatisfaction, I'll do this." The blond said with a small frown as he sighed again and rested his head on his boyfriend's shoulder, protectively pulling him closer. "You could've avoided feeling jealous if you'd done something. You didn't. Your fault..."

 

Pierre was beginning to sound like an insulted kid now. He looked at Leo, theb back at the white-haired male with a pout. "You don't mind me doing this, right?"

[Ayakashiu]

Liam was really uncomfortable; he didn't understand why this was happening. Leo just exploded, without even talking to him about something that bothered him. "Maybe it's best if me and Leo talk about this in private Pierre," Liam answered to his lover, since his friend obviously had a problem with him, not Pierre. Liam didn't really feel like he did something wrong, except that he should maybe ask Pierre to not show affection this openly. But Leo was obviously accusing him, unfairly.

 

He turned to Leo, who wasn't looking really angry anymore, after the blonde's reply. "Leo.." he started, but was interrupted again by his friend. "What do you even see on him? Don't you think you can do better Pierre?" Liam was again confused at his friend's words. He had no idea what he was thinking, but why was he so determined to not let them be? "He can't even satisfy you. Did he tell you he's still a virgin?" his friend asked with a contemptuous tone and Liam couldn't believe he was hearing this. He trusted his friends with that information and even though Pierre knew that, even though he wasn't anymore, those words still hurt him.

 

"Out..just get out!" That was all that Liam said with a cold voice, not even looking at his friend. He felt betrayed in that moment and he didn't want to look at the person he counted as his close friend.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Pierre frowned, his arm tightening a bit around the other. "Okay..." He muttered out quietly, clearly unhappy about Liam wanting to talk to Leo privately. And so he didn't leave. The blond leaned back against the couch, gently stroking his boyfriend's waist.

 

His eyes widened when he heard the other and for a moment he looked enraged. He pulled Liam close to himself, glaring at Leo without hiding it at all... "Why would I care? At least he's not an asshole like you." The blond said quietly, but coldly.

 

Pierre pressed soft, soothing kisses on his boyfriend's cheek, holding him close. "Don't mind him, okay?" He muttered out quietly so that Leo wouldn't hear. Underneath all that anger and care he was showing, there was confusion hidden. Pierre thought of it as an unneccessary emotion at the time, so he just hid it. He just hoped Liam would be okay after this... Betrayal from a friend. It may have sounded harsh, but it was true.

[Ayakashiu]

Liam didn't like that Pierre heard everything that just happened. He was angry at his friend, but at the same time embarassed that the blonde had to be here when it happened. Liam didn't want to look at his direction when the other started to kiss him and he just nodded to answer his question.

 

He heard Leo shuffle and leave and he knew it will be up to him to explain things to his other friends; the two in the kitchen and the ones that weren't here at the moment. He didn't even know what he'll say to them, he still wasn't sure what Leo's intention was. To humiliate me? He managed to do that..

 

Liam suddenly stood up, trying to put on a smile like he's ok. "Sorry Pierre, I'm not feeling so good, could you maybe just tell Alec and Rob I needed a rest? They will understand..I think." Liam was talking as he was backing away toward his room, before he turned around and almost ran to his room, shutting the door behind him and falling on his bed. He burried his head in the pillow and tried to think about everything that happened this past few days.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Pierre's mood was slowly dropping while observing how his boyfriend acted. He managed to hide it, though inside he knew it was his fault; almost everything was, in some way. The blond sighed quietly when Leo left and Liam stood up. How much more obvious could he be? This time, even he wasn't able to hide the disappointment as he nodded and stood up quietly, flinching the slightest bit when the door was slammed shut.

 

Slowly, he walked to the kitchen, pushing his hair out of his eyes. "Guys, Liam said he wasn't feeling too good, so he went to get some rest - I hope you don't mind?" The stripper asked with a smile as he sat down and lightly ruffled up his own hair. "Oh... By the way, would you mind staying a little bit longer here? I want to get my stuff from my house and I don't want him alone. You know, in case he gets worse or something."

 

There wasn't the slightest hint of him not telling the truth as he was speaking. His brown eyes showed slight worry as he glanced towards the bedroom door and sighed. This may just get a little bit awkward if they were to stay alone like this... He sure hoped Liam wouldn't take long, yet he definitely didn't want to barge into his room.

[Ayakashiu]

Rob frowned and replied to the blonde, "We don't mind. We'll stay here." Alec jumped in, since Rob never was one to speak much. "We heard something and Leo just stopped here to say he needs to leave. What happened?" He wanted to know if there was something bad or only a minor fight. But seeing how Liam just disappeared and Leo didn't even want to talk, Alec suspected it was something bad.

 

Alec looked intently at the blonde and Rob put away his phone too. They already ordered food so they planned to stay at least until it arrives, but they would stay longer if Liam needed them. Pierre looked worried and Leo was in a weird mood for the whole day already, so they must have burts out and had a serious fight. And Alec suspected why it was, but he didn't know if Liam knows.

----------------------------------------

Liam could only come to one conclusion; one that was pretty obvious. Leo was bothered by Pierre and him dating. Liam wanted to know why though..is he jealous? But at who? He was nice to Pierre, only mean to me.. Liam really didn't know what his friend would act like he did. Quite some time already passed, so he decided to get a grip and go to his friends, who were probably wondering why he disappeared.

 

He ruffled his hair as he got up, hoping he doesn't look too bad. But he did feel bad. He made his way to the kitchen, hoping the guys aren't angry at him.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Pierre smiled and shook his head, waving his hand in a"it's nothing serious" way. "Just a small misunderstanding. Look, he'll tell you if he wants to, but don't push him, alright?" The blonde asked with a smile, leaning against his chair. "It may not be a very important thing, but... Well, whatever. Thing is, it won't affect anything too much."

 

Just as he finished talking, he saw Liam entering the kitchen. "Hey, you feeling better now?" The blond asked with a soft smile, standing up drom his chair. He was definitely worried, and even he couldn't hide it completely. He hoped that the other two wouldn't push Liam to answer any unwanted questions for now...

[Ayakashiu]

"We won't push him," Alec answered simply. It was how they were, they didn't bug each other but just were there for each other. He notice Liam then too, but didn't say anything. His friend didn't look so good, so Alec was a little sceptic about this being just a small misunderstanding.

-------------------------------

"Hey. Yeah I'm better," Liam answered to the blonde, ruffling his hair again, not really knowing what to do with his hands. "I'm sorry guys." There was a small awkward silence from his end, as he didn't know if he should tell his two friends what happened or not, but he decided against it. Better to do it when they'll be alone.

 

"So, you ordered some food? You must be starving right?" He smiled at them and went to get himself a glass of water.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Pierre smiled gratefully at Alec, nodding lightly. He was glad that the other understood... Theblond sighed softly when Liam got there, pursing his lips at the apology. "Hey, you have nothing to apologize for." He said quietly, yet firmly. The stripper just wanted the best for his boyfriend... It was simply how he was.

 

"Yeah, we ordered." Pierre answered with a small smile as he sighed quietly and sat back down. He still looked a bit worried as he watched the younger, nipping on his lip slightly. "Anyway, I'll have to go and get my stuff later on... Should I go now or wait?" He asked, staring at the ceiling and the lamps. It was weird how easily Liam accepted him wanting to live here, however...

[Ayakashiu]

Liam was really grateful to Pierre, for being there for him, but he just didn't have the strenght to show him that at the moment. He needed some time to get over what happened and he hoped the blonde won't be too mad about that. The bluish haired male nodded to his lover and answered his question. "It will take some time for food to arrive probably, so if you want to, you can go now." Liam paused a little before adding, "Oh but do you need someone to help you with your things?"

 

Liam didn't know how many things Pierre owns, but he was sure that it wasn't so little, so the blonde definitely needed help. He turned to his friends. "Hey guys, could you maybe help Pierre with his stuff too? Alec you are here with your car right?" His friends just nodded, since they were always ready to help, if there was the need. "Pierre it's okay right? Moving will be easier if you have a car."
