When the male got to the front of the apartment, he rushed up the stairs. Before he could think he banged on the door. Kicking and banging until the other woke up. The anticipation killed him. He didn't even care if the other was sleeping or how the other was doing after the cuts. The male didn't care if he was being an ass.

"Fini.."

[beatlechan]

Finian sighed and got up. He wondered who the hell was banging on his door at this time. He wretched the door open. "Who is it? What? Its late! He pulled the door open sand stared. "D-daniel?"

The male didn't have time to react. He rushed in without thinking, "Where's my phone?!" Stumbling from being lightheaded from the lack of sleep, he fell head first on the edge of the table. It didn't help that the male once suffered a concussion. The shock of the pain made him in.

 

"Ah-" The male slowly got up and acted like nothing had happened. "I'm sorry, I left my phone in the bathroom. Please pardon my intrusion a second time. I'll be on my way," as he walked towards the bathroom. The male collapsed.

[beatlechan]

"Oh my god, Daniel"! Finian caught him before he hit the floor and scooped him up bridal style carrying him to his bed. "Shit". He ran to the kitchen and grabbed some ice and a towel and brought it back to the room. He sat down putting his head on his lap holding the ice to his head. He started tapping his cheek. "Daniel? Daniel are you ok? Please wake up Daniel"?

When the male came to, he was laying on top of the other's bed wondering how he got there. Daniel could feel the cold ice and towel around his head. He detested the feeling of moisture anywhere near his facial region, at least when he was out and it was one of his phobias, but the male remained calm. He knew that he was a guest and acting irrationally was not good. The male slowly sat up and moved the towel and smiled.

'Phone...'

 

Daniel turned over to Finian, "Fini where's my phone?"

[beatlechan]

Finian grabbed him. "Be careful. You were out cold. Phone? Oh that was the noise I heard. I called you twice but no answer. Where ever you left it, its still there. Just lay down and I will go get it. You can't get up so quickly".

Finian looked at him for a bit. "Do you need to go to the hospital"?

The male swiped his thumb across his lips. "Hospital...? You've got to be kidding right? Out cold? Impossible. I just fell.." The male wanted to get the phone and leave as fast as possible. Moreover, he didn't want to stay at the male's place. He was already intruding as is and didn't want to bother the other anymore.

 

He gazed at the other's concern. For some reason he was sadden. He felt knots forming in the pit of his stomach and he knew something wasn't right. The male felt an urge. There were unknown forces working against him. He found his hand reaching forward to touch the other's face.

 

"Fin."

[beatlechan]

Finian gasps as the hand touches his cheek. "D-daniel are you ok? Not paying attention he grips Daniel's hand holding it against his face. Listen to me please. Do I need to take you to the Er? God please don't be hurt. Daniel look at me"! Finian started to panic watching Daniel to make sure he was ok.

The male realized what he just did and retracts his hand.

 

The other asked if the male was alright. Of course the male wasn't okay. He suffered a concussion shortly after his wife's death, but he couldn't tell the other. The lack of sleep for the past week and other stressors pulled the male to the pits of hell. At least that's what he thought. 'Hm.'

 

"No, I'm fine Finian. I just feel dizzy from the vodka shots I had earlier." The male shrugged. His eyes were dilating at the light the other was shining in his eyes.

 

"Ah." The male paused. "I said that I am fine. I don't need medical help.."

 

'Ahhh..' The male stopped and looked at the other.

 

"I just need you to return my phone and I'll be on my way. Sorr-"

 

'Eh?' The male felt hot and then realized that his heart was thumping uncontrollably. 'Eh? What's this?' He looked at the other and blushed.

"Pardons, I need to use the bathroom. I don't feel-"

 

Then ran down the hall.

[beatlechan]

Finian gulped and watched him run. Is he crazy running with an injury like that? "Daniel"? Finian opens the bathroom door and pulls him out of the. "Will you stop and lay down. The phone is fine. I didn't even know you left it. Just lay down and rest please. Look we need to talk but only when you lay back on the bed".

The male was spooked when the other grabbed the doorknob and yanked it open. His heart ran a marathon almost, in the instant his heart almost stopped. He was flustered beyond his wildest imagination. He didn't have enough time to take care of his business. The sudden face touch, opened new doors in the male's mind. The male didn't expect this to happen. Daniel was going through an unexpected erection. It was by some miracle that he was able to hide it. 'Why is this happening now?'

 

First his head and now his privates. He male played it off cool and nodded when the other asked him to lay down. 'Good thing I didn't pull my pants down.' Thought the male. He lightly chuckled, playing it off like nothing had happened.

 

'Crap.'

[beatlechan]

Finian sat on the bed next to Daniel pulling the blanket on him. "look, i'll sleep downstairs but i think we need to talk". He sighed. "I-i was calling you to apologize and to let you know i sent an apology gift. "Its a basket and i wanted to give you notice so we wouldn't be embarrassed". Finian turned his face away as he felt the blush spread across it. "I-I'm sorry, thank you for the help earlier". Finian got up going to the closet grabbing a blanket. "if you need something just holler". He smiled at Daniel as he left the room. When he went don't stairs he was a mess. His chest was beating fast and his face was red. He can't believe he's falling for his boss. He walked over to the couch and plopped down groaning into the pillow.

When the male got to the bed, he immediately plopped himself down. His main goal was to conceal his boner. If the other found out he wouldn't know how to go into damage control. It was bad enough that there were homosexual rumors going about.

'Why now?'

 

When the other started his rant about the apology gift. The male couldn't help but to think this was a lost cause. He laughed regardless of his condition. Be it in his advantage or disadvantage, the male found it amusing and couldn't help but to gloat.

 

"Fin," the male started, "You are-"

 

Before he could finish the other left and he fell on his back at the sigh of relief. Looking up at the ceiling. "Hm..?"

[beatlechan]

Now that he calmed down Finian moved his way back up the stairs. "Daniel? Are you ok? I realized you were abiut ro say something when I left". He walked over to the bed and sat on the edge. "What was it? Did you need something"? While Finian sat there he gulped as he looked at the other man. The man was laying there peaceful and he looked sexy. Finian cursed himself inwardly. He couldn't do this could he? Every nerve in his body was screaming yes. He crawled up on the bed and laid next to Daniel.

Daniel was half asleep, but he was still conscious enough to somewhat make out the surrounding sounds. His body was drained from work. After firing Al, something ate away at him. It didn't helped that Marc said something that made him cringed. And it also didn't helped that the male left his work's phone at the freelancer's.

 

Everything up until that point squeezed the living juices out of the male. Making lemonade as a mockery of his pride.

 

When the male was in a supine position shortly after the other left, it was like inducing his body to sleep.

 

The lids of his eyes were heavy, like weights were pulling them down. He could hear the other's voice entering the room. But the male was unable to move. It was like he was pinned down at the waist and holding a 'f*ck me now' sign.

[beatlechan]

"Daniel... Look at me. Are you alright? Do you want me to call 911? What's going on? Is it your head? Please Daniel say something. I don't know what to do please". Finian started to panic finally he made the decision to call 911.

The male couldn't move. He was making quite an impression for himself, knocked out in bed with an employee and trying to hide his dark desires. Daniel was embarrassed beyond belief. He was too drunk, sleep deprived and grief stricken to move.

 

When the other asked:

"Daniel... Look at me. Are you alright? Do you want me to call 911? What's going on? Is it your head? Please Daniel say something. I don't know what to do please"

 

He wanted to sit up and smile and walk out of the apartment, but he couldn't. His lips were heavy, it wouldn't move. The male's body felt like it was pinned down with weights. It was when his lips were parted by some divine intervention (as it seems) that he was able to utter.

 

".....i-"

[beatlechan]

Finian heard him trying to speak but paid no attention as he rushed off to let the paramedics in. They started asking him questions which he had no answers to. "Look he's my boss and I guess he left his phone but I think he's drunk. He fell and hit his head. Please take him to the er". The paramedics nodded and strapped him up asking Finian if he was coming. Of course he said yes and they headed to the nearest er.

When the male woke up and found himself in a white gown, stripped down of everything and laying on a hospital's bed like some kind of science experiment. His body was still sore from the night before. The male mumbling and cursing at his state. He slowly sat up and surveyed the surrounding area. "What the hell! He really took me to the freaking hospital. Damnit!!"

 

At the end of the bed, his clothes were neatly folded and placed there in the most curious way. It was almost like someone was there with him, holding his hand and anticipating his recovery. At least that's what he felt, a residual feeling he had.

 

He slowly reached over and grabbed the articles of clothing. With eyes closed he leaned in to be greeted with a faint scent of musk dancing along his nostrils. The male held the shirt against his face, trying to recollect an entire day's worth of drama. It took a second, but the male no longer wanted to stay.

 

He hastily put on his clothes as he stumbles out of the hospital's room.

[beatlechan]

Finian fell asleep holding his hand while he waited til the other woke up. Of course he didn't hear when the other left the room but a sinking feeling came over him and his eyes popped open. He cursed as he ran down the hall to fin a shaky Daniel trying to leave. He quietly ran behind him and scooped him. "where do you think youre going Daniel? You aren't in any condition to leave yet". He carried the stubborn man back to his room and pressed the call light. "dont make me have to lay on you". He said as a warning as he waited for the nurse to come.

Daniel was so closed to the exit, he just had to get pass the nurse and he was a free man. He waited anxiously for the nurse to clear the hallway so he could speed walk out of the door, but the nurses did not leave. 'This seriously can't be happening?' The male gritted his teeth.

 

The male was pressed with two options, walk pass the two nurses or wait. He chose to wait, because he was more nervous about them seeing him in his disheveled hair, morning breath, and all. The male was a narcissist, he cared more about his looks more than anything else. He couldn't sacrifice his pride, not now. He was so immerse in the scene that when someone approached him from behind, it startled the male sheet white.

 

"Where do you think you're going Daniel? You aren't in any condition to leave yet".

 

"Don't make me have to lay on you".

 

The male looked over, it was Finian and the male immediately turned red. He just dug an even bigger hole for himself. The male was speechless. He just wanted to hide in the hole thereafter. He paused and looked straight into the other male's eyes. Then nodded.

 

"Fine, but will you hold my hand?"

[beatlechan]

Finian chuckled. "Ive been doing that a dew more minutes won't matter. Finian sat in the chair next to the bed and grabbed his hand. "D-daniel. I think we need to talk. Look I think we got off on the wrong foot and this stuff happened. Im sorry for how I acted before and then you found out about my cutting. Look its something I've done for years. Im not saying its good but its what I do to cope. I could tell you weren't used to seeing that"? Finian grabbed his hand tighter. "L-look Daniel. I-i like you alot and im not sure how you feel about that".

The room was quiet and almost like an eerie quiet, but the male sat on the bed fingers intertwined with his subordinate’s. He shrugged his shoulders when he heard the other talking about self harm. The male still thought it was a preposterous thing. It wasn’t like the male had never experienced grief. Come on, he lost his wife in a house fire and the most gruesome part, he had to identify his wife’s remains at the coroner's office.

 

Not to mention, the male was under investigation over his wife’s death. He was the prime murder suspect in the case. It was a mess. People spurred rumors and through the grapevine he was able to delve into their minds. Everyone thought it was awfully convenient for the male to leave the day before on a business trip and for his daughter to be at a sleepover. It was the perfect alibi quote unquote. Everyone had known them to be the picture perfect family and yet that didn’t dissolved other things like possible marital problems and his sexuality. Killing his wife, because he was a possible homo. Preposterous! Screamed the male.

 

Sure, parts of the rumors were true, but that doesn't make him a murderer. He loved his wife, they shared a beautiful daughter together and the years they shared were the most perfect and most cherished times in their lives.

 

At an early age, the male liked both genders and growing up in a strict household, his parents would have disowned him. So he buried those desires, those feelings deep inside and when he first met Finian, those hidden desires began to unearth a long forgotten secret. Something the male wanted to keep hidden. ‘Maybe it’s time to let go of the past and start anew?’ Thought the male as he looked quietly into the other’s eyes.

 

"L-look Daniel. I-i like you alot and im not sure how you feel about that".

 

The male remained silent. Those words clawed deep into his soul as he gripped the other’s hands tighter.

 

[Half a day later]

It was something like 4:17PM when the male was released from the hospital. He was tired, his clothes dirty and his unruly appearance irked him. After all the male did still care about the way he looked and how he presented himself.

 

“I just wanna go home and forget about this.”

Sprouted the male while still holding onto the other’s hand. “Care to join me?”

[beatlechan]

Finian sat there staring at the other man like he had two heads. Did did he just here right? did Daniel really just asking to go home with him? He stared at the other man for a couple more seconds and nodded his head yes. "Um..... are you sure you want me to go home with you? I would love to but are you prepared for that? I don't want you to be uncomfortable Daniel". He continued to hold the man's hand and released it cupping his chin as he stroked it with his thumb lightly. "Don't invite me because you think its the polite thing to do. If you're inviting me because you want me to. If that's the case. Then yes I really want too. If you'll have me".

The male couldn't help but to laugh. The question that the younger male was asking, was the most innocent thing to ever cross his ears. Of course he's genuinely asking because he wanted to invite the other over and not because he felt bad. He in some ways wanted to do it as a thank you for staying with him through the whole ordeal.

 

"No I am not asking out of pity of anything. I just wanted to do it as a form of my gratitude for holding my hand and all." The male said smiling from ear to ear. He then leaned forward and said, "Maybe after that we can do something fun?"
