[M]That Day... (Stardust)

[Stardust_Bunny]

Ethan noticed the reaction to his little touch. Right. He was not welcomed. He bit his lips guiltily. Crap. That was not a good first impression. He was a sucker for pleasing people, and figured that the closer he was to them, the better. Didn't think he would meet a person who wouldn't want to be touched, not by him at least. Well, he was a stranger, after all. Maybe touching worked with close friends only.

 

He stepped back as Aiden stepped forth. Still, he couldn't escape the boy's oddly sexy threat. If he was a serial killer, then Ethan was officially a masochist. He nodded, unsure where they were going. Fuck directions. He wanted to go wherever this little guy went. He was hot, and frankly, Ethan liked to walk after him, since he got to check out that ass. Fuck. He really was gay, then. Well, not gay, he hasn't come in terms with this just yet, but he was pretty sure he had a thing for cute boys with nice butts. Besides, the butt was probably the best hole to fuck. Tight and smooth, hell yeah.

 

"Oh, sure. Something happened?" Since Aiden mentioned his night took a turn for the better, Ethan figured something good must have happened. He was too dense to figure out it was him the boy was referring to, but well, he was blonde, so not a surprise here. "I've got no plans for tonight, it's cool. Besides, I was gonna eat noodles at home, so I'd rather have something better." Not that he was poor, he was just too busy to cook for himself. Speaking of cooking, he had no idea what to order. Even if they haven't reached the restaurant yet, he wanted to act cool and sound prepared when the waitress comes. He wanted to give his order nonchalantly, as if it was something he was born to do. "So, what's your favorite food? Anything you'd like to drink? I'll pay." Ethan lightheartedly offered, with a wide smile, as if someone had told him he just won the lottery or something. He was one cheerful idiot.

 

His phone vibrated in his pants again. What the hell, he thought he turned it off. Probably misclicked. Abbey lit up his screen and grimaced. God damn it, Mike.

 

"DUDE, WHERE R U?? KELLY N JOSH R W8ING"

 

He quickly replied.

 

"caught a cold, not coming ;(" Tap. There.

 

He sent it and turned his phone off, this time making sure he did it right. That's better. He put his expensive smartphone back in his pocket and cleared his throat. All set.

[iAnubis]

Aiden was taken a back when the blonde didn't get the message, but he just chuckled at that. He thought it was sorta cute in a way. He only cast a smile back before he spoke up "You. That's what happened." he replied. "Great. They have great burgers and other things. And cake." The male loved sweets. He always had candy on hand if he could. It was a wonder he never had a cavity, not even once. Then again the male always took care of his teeth to make sure he didn't have to get any teeth removed. Aiden started making his way down the side walk, falling into step besides the blonde. The other was tall now that he stood besides him. He was average height for his age... but he felt like he needed to be a bit taller now.

 

At the questions, the mauve haired male cocked his head to the side. "Hmm. I guess my favorite food is... well I can't narrow it down. I have a lot of favorite foods that I like. Favorite drink is Fruit cocktail juice. Favorite alcoholic drink is maybe a cosmo. What about you?" he asked the male before he shook his head. "Are you loaded or something? I can pay for my own things. Thanks for the offer anyway um... wait... What's your name? I'm Aiden." He couldn't believe he forgot the male's name. Well, it wasn't like he was going to bang the guy or anything. And this would probably be a one time thing only. They would probably never see each other again.

 

Aiden stopped in front of the restaurant. It looked like an old style dinner. They even had a jukebox inside. The floors were tiled black and white like a checkers board and there was a display of cakes and other sweets. The male slid into a booth and looked his menu over that was* written on the table for them. A female came over and looked rather bored. She had her pen ready with her head down ready to take the orders. "What'll ya'll have?" Aiden ordered a burger and fries, a vanilla shake and cheese cake with strawberry topping as well as a small sundae. The female suddenly looked up and her eyes widened before she fixed herself up real quick. "Oh my gosh. You're... you're Ethan Abbey. Oh my gosh this can't be real. I just want to say you are such a great model. I wish my boyfriend had a body like yours." she blushed. Aiden's eyes widened as he looked at Ethan with an amused expression He didn't know the other was a model. Interesting.

 

He listened to the girl ramble on and on about nothing. He sighed. "Miss can you deliver our order to the chef. We're getting hungry. If you don't want to serve us, we can always go somewhere else." The female gave him a glare. Ooohhh scary. Not. Before she smiled at Ethan and went to*clip the piece of paper to the window.

[Stardust_Bunny]

Ethan blinked. I ... Happened? It almost sounded like today was his birthday. He laughed and shook his head. This little dude made no sense, but he didn't mind. He's had a lot of friends who made no sense at all, so at least Aiden made some sense. "Don't mention that abomination to me!" He frowned and made a cross with his fingers, pointing it to a nearby advertisement of a new cake shop. "I don't like sweets." They were almost always too damn sweet for him. He drank his coffee sugarless, tea - as well. Wasn't it enough that most carbonated drinks were full of sugar? He did not approve of this. Everything was sweet. He liked a touch of bitterness every now and then.

 

He liked Aiden's favorite drink, though. Fruit Cocktail Juice. Heh. "You sure like your cock-tails." He threw a pun at him, backed by a cheeky grin. Totally gay. Yep. "Eh, anything goes, as long as there's NO SUGAR." He stressed those last two words. Sugar was a word he cringed when he heard, and left him with a nasty aftertaste once he's said it. The mention of money brought a little chuckle. Loaded wasn't the word he would use, but yeah, he was pretty well-off. "Nice to meet you, Aiden. You can call me Ethan." The man politely introduced himself. And a minute later, he forgot the mauve haired male's name. God damn it.

 

They entered the restaurant soon enough. Ethan wasn't very fond of that setting, nor was he happy to hear the southern accent of the waitress. It was probably fake, seeing how fast she turned from a cowgirl to a fangirl. The blonde smiled and awkwardly waved. This was silly. He didn't expect to be recognized here. "Aw. Here I thought you were single." He joked lightheartedly. Seeing her little blush made him think she was trying to flirt. "Then again, I guess a girl as pretty as you can't be single for long." Wink.

 

Their short conversation was cut off by an irritated-looking Aiden. He cleared his throat and patted Aiden on the shoulder, just to show that he was his friend, and that there was no need for a fight here. "Y-Yeah, I'm starving, haven't had anything at all today. Lots of work." He tried to aid his friend and soften the glare he received from the waitress.

 

As soon as she left to give their order, Ethan pulled out a pair of sunglasses and put them on. Better. His hazel eyes were now hidden from view, maybe that would help a bit. "Sorry about that. Uh, so, what do you do for a living?" Still couldn't remember Aiden's name. Damn. "I'm kind of, .. a model. I know it's gay, but I swear I'm not! N-not that there's anything wrong with being gay." Ethan bit his lips. What a mess. "You know what, never mind. Tell me more about you." A new topic backed by a bright smile.

[iAnubis]

Aiden made another face when he was touched, once again by the stranger. Sure now he knew the male's name and found out he didn't like sweets and was a model. But still they met literally a few minutes ago. Did thirty minutes even go by yet? He didn't think so. And the male touched him Twice under thirty minutes. He didn't like when strangers touched him without consent.*It was so weird. If it was by accident, he could understand, but this was not. He looked to the side when the girl left. He didn't like those types of females. They made his black list pretty quick. Aiden looked pretty confused when the other male put on sunglasses. Inside. That disguise was... a really bad attempt. "Next time bring a wig?" he commented.

 

"I work at a tattoo shop as an artist and go to school for business." he replied casually "You don't say. I couldn't tell when that girl pointed it out that you were a model... Uhhhh... is that how you act on your real dates? I would of left in a heart beat if this was a real date." he laughed. "Don't worry though. I think it's cute. But Hm... I don't like to talk about myself much. So.. why don't you tell me about your modeling career." Before Ethan could speak though their food arrived, Aiden smiled at the server before he started to eat his burger. It was really too good. He enjoyed every bit as he chewed. He swallowed and sipped his shake. "So you plan to go all the way or just doing it as a side job til you get your dream job?"

[Stardust_Bunny]

Ethan shook his head. "No wigs. I get allergies from those." He had super expensive ones, but every time he put them on, his scalp would start burning. It was not something he enjoyed. Then again, it might be because his hair was bleached that time. Eh, who knows. Either way, he was not putting wigs ever again. "Don't I look good with sunglasses?" He teased, taking them off to see whether Aiden liked him better with his glasses on. Well, they did hide those hazel eyes of his, but other than that, he looked like any dude would look with sunglasses, indoors, while it's darkening outside, with a stormy sky. Basically, he looked stupid.

 

He whistled, quite impressed from his new friend's life. School for business, and a tattoo shop? Wow. "Why not just go to an Arts school?" Since he could draw well and all, he should have focused on that. Still, a business school was awesome. "Hm? What do you mean?" He was a little confused. Did he act bad? Did he say something wrong? Ethan ruffled his blonde hair worriedly. Ugh, he's been acting like an idiot around Aiden ever since he met him. Not his fault for being so damn awkward around new people. All this time he's hung out with fellow models, his manager, parents occasionally, his big brother, that is before he left the country and got married somewhere in Scandinavia.

 

He was about to speak about his choice of profession, but the food arrived just in time. He took it and inspected the way it looked. Well, not bad. A burger, slightly better than any other. He ate it in three large bites, and washed it down with some diet coke. He noticed the tiny bites his new friend was making. Like a kitten. He would have better luck eating that thing if he licked instead. Ethan hid a smile. "Oh, uh, I don't know. Haven't thought that much. People might think modeling is all about looking good in pictures, but it's so much more than that. It keeps me so busy that I barely have time to consider giving up. Besides, I'm kind of used to it. I've been a model ever since I was a kid. Mom's decision." He shrugged. She thought it would be a great idea if her son becomes a model, since she always thought he was really cute. Guess it worked out. "Like I said, it gets really busy and I barely have time for myself. I make good money, though. Funny thing is, I didn't make as much money as I do now before I got my hair bleached. What, you think that's my natural hair color?" He grinned. Mind - blown, huh. "My hair is light brown, but I had to get bleached for some campaign. Then my manager was like, oh, it looks so good on you, keep it blonde. And so they touch up my roots every few weeks. No one suspects I'm a brunet. Speaking of hair, is .. is that your natural hair color? It looks really cool." Ethan went to touch the other's hair, but pulled his hand away with a guilty smile. Right. Aiden didn't like to be touched.

[iAnubis]

"Ah. I see. Well a hat would be nice too. The sunglasses I have no comment on." the male shrugged before he scratched at his cheek. "Err... hm. Well I already did art during high school. And after I graduated I went to art school while doing my apprenticeship. Now I want to own my own tattoo shop so I go to business school." Aiden replied. His sibling told him he needed to hang out sometimes, but the faster he got these things out of the way, the more free time he could have later. "I don't mean anything much. Just forget I said anything."

 

Aiden paused when he saw that the blonde ate his sandwich in no time. G=He guessed models had big appetites? He wasn't sure. He finished his and ate his fries while sipping on his shake as he listened. Nodding a bit before putting the cup down. "Oh wow. That's a lot. I don't think I could spend my time in front of a camera taking pictures all day." Yet the male did take a lot of pictures. He took pictures of himself, of friends and family. Of animals and scenery. Taking those selfies to post on his social site or just so he could do self portraits. But that was him doing it for him. He didn't have anyone telling him which position to get into and all that crap. Sighing inwardly Aiden cocked his head. Not a real blonde? Could of fooled him. "Interesting... No. This isn't my real hair color. It's used to be all red. But dyed it black and instead of black I got purple. It's faded now. And it's stuck like this for the time being." Aiden shrugged. After he finished eating, he got a*text. The male read it over before he*asked for the bill and paid his half before he stood up.

 

"Well this was fun. But I have to get going now. See you around Ethan." He then walked out the door as he dialed a number for a taxi to come pick him up.

 

Aiden opened his eyes and rubbed his eyes. What time was it? He picked up his phone and checked the time. Six in the morning. He got up and slid on his shoes before he headed downstairs to go for a walk. It was fairly empty downstairs except for a person that was passed out on the floor. The male opened the front door and started to walk out back to the beach area. It was a nice view. And the sea breeze filled his nostrils. He needed to become this guy's friend or something, Just so he could come here once in a while and unwind. Such a great opportunity to take a picture. Taking out his phone, he took a picture of the water splashing against a huge rock a few feet into the ocean. He then took another picture with him in it. Aiden started walking along, taking his shoes off so he could get his feet wet.

[Stardust_Bunny]

Ethan bit his lips as he saw Aiden leave. God damn it. He totally weirded him out. Ugh. This was horrible. The blonde smiled and gave him a wave. "See you." His eyes tracked his new friend as walked out. Well, this was a catastrophe. I mean, could be worse, but he totally ruined their meeting. Nothing would come out of this.

 

He sighed and stood. Time to pay. He left money for his order, along with an extra ten bucks for the waitress, and left the restaurant. He felt like shit. No wonder he had no new friends. Everyone he knew was from his job. Probably because he worked with them everyday. Not like people could tolerate him outside like that. Not to mention that he ditched some of them at the bar just for Aiden, who ended up leaving prematurely. That was worth it.

 

"Ugh..." He groaned as he sat up, head all dizzy. Gosh. What time was it. He reached out to his phone and checked. 6:32 AM. Wait, six in the fucking morning? He was here to rest, not to get up early like he was in middle school again. Damn it. Whatever, time for some coffee. "Hey Aiden, want some co--" Ethan looked at the couch and saw that his friend was missing. Of course. Not like he would stay in one room with his ex for long. Probably asked to switch places with someone else as soon as he woke up. The blonde sighed and stood. He was not happy right now. And what a fucked up dream he had. Maybe he felt so depressed because of it. Still, look from the bright side. At least he didn't end up having sex with Aiden. Wait, was that good?

 

He shook his head and went to wash his face and teeth. Afterwards, he took a quick shower, put on some fresh clothes and went downstairs. Immediately, he saw the passed out guy on the floor. Oh, shit. Was this Joshua? Ethan sighed and leaned closer to pull him up and get him on the couch. Poor guy. Why was he abandoned like that. He made his way to the kitchen and looked around. Hm. He wanted some latte. Good thing they had an automatic coffee machine with capsules. He quickly found the espresso and the milk capsules, got himself a glass, placed it in the machine, popped the first capsule in, and turned it on. The milk came out. Afterwards, he added the second capsule, and the coffee replaced the milk at the bottom, leaving a nice, creamy white fluffiness at the top. With that, his latte was done. He took his cup and left the house to drink his coffee outside, where he could breathe in some fresh air.

 

He didn't expect to find Aiden outside. "Oh, hey!" He waved his hand at his ex, holding the latte in his other. Now was the time to be a gentleman. "I, uh, got you some coffee." There. Perfect. Now Aiden would think that Ethan made the latte especially for him. This should totally work. Yep. Perfect plan.

[iAnubis]

Aiden headed back after his long walk back. He felt so relaxed after that walk. He had been a bit sore since he slept on the couch, but he was over it by now. The male walked back towards the house to see if he could get started on breakfast. He'd have to make a lot of it, maybe enough for twelve people. He would have to raid the fridge though. Thanks to having one of his brothers as a chef and having to cook for himself after moving out on his own, much to his older siblings dismay, he was a pretty great cook. The male followed the pathway to the house and stopped when he saw Ethan. He waved back and gave the other a soft smile.

 

"You're up early." he told the male as he cocked his head to the side. At the cup of latte, he took it with a questioning look. "You made me a latte?... Thanks..." the male looked at the cup before he took a sip. He then walked inside. "Needs more sugar. Wanna help me make breakfast for these people? Or were you going for a walk?"

[Stardust_Bunny]

"Yeah, sure." Ethan bitterly smiled as he followed. More sugar, my ass.. He understood how it would need more sugar, since he made the latte for himself, but he didn't like how Aiden did not appreciate the gesture. Sure, he said thanks, but it was followed by a complaint. The two kind of cancelled each other out.

 

The blonde went in the kitchen after Aiden and made himself a new cup of coffee, this time, capucchino. He didn't put sugar in his cup, but handed the jar of sugar to Aiden, in case he wanted to add some to his own. "Let's make some sandwiches or something. They're too hungover to care what it is." He suggested, getting the bread ready. "And for lunch, let's make some macaroni and cheese. For dinner, we'll order some pizza or chinese food. How's that?" Hell, they could even get some KFC. Surely, there should be delivering food all the way here, right? Not like they were in the middle of nowhere.

 

As Ethan prepared the bread for sandwiches, slicing evenly and getting rid of the crumbs, he took whatever ingredients he found in the fridge. Good, they might have enough to feed everyone. "Hey, what you said last night-- Oh, don't look at me like that, of course I remember." It gave me a boner, after all. Ethan was referring to Aiden's mention of sex, and how Ethan might have gotten rusty, or, well, soft. "Do you really mean it? That you didn't like it with that dude? I..If you have to judge, who's better, me or him?" Quite the topic first thing in the morning, but it really bothered Ethan. "Be honest."

[iAnubis]

Aiden sighed under his breath. Was this guy serious? Sandwhiches for breakfast? But wasn't it typical of Ethan. The guy was a model after all. Always In a rush. Welp. He would eat his breakfast by himself.He just placed the cup down and washed his hand. He wouldn't eat sandwhiches. He needed a nice breakfast to start the day. Aiden took the sugar jar and placed it next to his latte before he looked through the cabniets. Pancake batter. Chocolate chips. Perfect. He looked in the fridge and freezer. Eggs and sausage. He let Ethan make the sandwhiches though. The masses could eat those. "Hm. I don't know. I was only planning to make breakfast. I have no clue what everyone is planning to do for the rest of the day... Although. You should make straight black coffee for them to drink. It will help hangovers I heard." Aiden looked for pans and a mixture bowl. He then mixed ingredients and got to cooking. He'd make enough pancakes for everyone, but the eggs and sausage not as much.

 

Halfway into his cooking, Ethan popped a question about last night. Aiden wrinkled his nose at the male. He didn't want to talk about it. He finished the eggs and sausages before he continued the pancakes. "So you weren't as drunk as you looked... too bad. I didn't like it much. And to your second question. I'm not going to answer it. It's in the past." Why was the blonde bringing up such a thing sober? Insecurity? Well, Ethan didn't need to worry about it. The blonde was pretty damb great in the bed. He'd never admit it out loud though. Aiden finished up and placed the pancakes on a large plate. He made a plate for himself and set it aside before putting the eggs and sausages in a bowl. He washed the pans and mixture bowl before he cleaned up his mess.

 

"Whoa. Smells good in here." Rylan grinned as he popped up in the kitchen. He looked at the two. He then looked over Ethan's shoulder and pat his shoulder. "Cute. Looks delicious too." He grinned before playing with a lock of the blond's hair. He took a sandwhich and scarfed it down. He walked over to Aiden and hugged the purple haired male before taking the plate. "Oh darling, you shouldn't have. I promise I'll propose one day."

 

Aiden scoffed and took his plate back. "You keep saying that sugar, but you haven't placed a ring on my finger yet. So until then, make your own plate. Aiden poured syrup on his pancakes before sitting down to eat. "Ouch. So cold. Guess I'll be lonely forever. Unless Ethan wants to give up his booty. He was all over me last night." Aiden stopped eating.

 

"Oh really? Why didn't you take the chance? Be careful Etjan, this guy is known for making even the straightess guy gay and the most innocent girl become a freak. Just a heads up." Aiden sipped his latte. Rylan put his hands up. "Hey no fair. Don't take my chances away." The red head joked before fixing himself a plate.

[Stardust_Bunny]

Ethan nodded. No matter, he figured whatever people did, they would want to eat afterwards. Lunch and dinner was a must. Although he figured they could skip lunch and just have the mac and cheese for dinner. For some reason, he really craved that. Not the kind of food a model should eat, but fuck, he was so sick of his manager planning his every meal. He wanted to be rebelious and eat whatever he wanted. "I'll do it when they wake up." Nothing worse than drinking cold coffee.

 

He put his sandwiches in the oven and decided to cook them a bit, just to give them some crispy taste. As soon as Aiden started talking about last night, Ethan realized he was not supposed to remember that. "I wasn't piss drunk, no. Sorry for disappointing you." He frowned. Took a lot for someone to get so drunk that he forgets. "You're .... what?" He wasn't going to answer? What the hell. "Fine. Suit yourself." Abbey gave him a cold shrug. He just about left the kitchen, but was stopped mid-way by Rylan. He almost smiled at the other's playful behavior before he saw him act the same with Aiden. Right. Was safe to say Ethan was not a special snowflake here.

 

His mood only worsened when his ex-boyfriend encouraged him to have sex with Rylan. That fucking hurt. "You know what. I agree. Let's fuck." Ethan declared, hazel eyes looking straight at Rylan's. He didn't even glance at Aiden. This was a game two could play. If his ex was so eager to see him fuck with someone else, then by all means, Ethan would make that wish come true. "I'm gay anyway. Well, bisexual really." He was gay with the boys and straight with the girls. Best of both words. "But I'm not going to be the bottom. Just throwing that out there." Ethan didn't want any misunderstandings during sex. "I've also got condoms, but you'll need to bring lube yourself. Unless Aiden has some. I'm sure he'll lend us his bottle. It's for a good cause." After a very bitter smile towards the mauve haired male, Ethan made Rylan some espresso, sugarless as always, and excused himself from the kitchen.

 

Needless to say, he was hurt. But he tried to hurt Aiden just as much.

[iAnubis]

Aiden rose a brow when the other male actually told Rylan to fuck. He sighed and continued eating. He wasn't going to even acknowledge that right now. He could not believe the nerve of the blonde. The male scoffed at being asked to provide lube. He tisked. "Fuck yourself Ethan. I'm sure if you could, you would. After all the only person who could get fucked by you and have a real orgasm, could only be you.*" Aiden put down his plate and started to stab his eggs. He needed to calm down. He took deep breaths and repeated that he needed to calm down. Rylan watched the two males feeling kind of awkward. Maybe he should of never made that joke. Aiden never told them the reason the two split. He could see, it was probably on bad terms now. Got him wondering, what the heck caused this whole thing. He smiled at the espresso and watched Ethan leave. He rubbed the back of his neck and put the mug down.

 

"Ai, don't make grown men cry anymore..." he told his life long friend as he pat the other on the head. "I know you enough to*know that you still feel for this guy. Whatever your problems. I'm sure you can fix them. Can't be that bad right?"

 

Aiden stayed quiet at first before he shook his head. "Actually... its already bad. I cheated on him which caused him to break up with me... The air was kind of cleared yesterday. But it's become thicker today... There is nothing to work out."

 

Rylan's eyes widened. "Oh shit! You CHEATED ON HIM?! FOR FUCK'S SAKE. Why?" "color=purple]"You're too loud... I know it was wrong, but... but I just... I wasn't thinking straight. I drank*a little too much... It's no excuse but..."[/color] Aiden took a deep breath and ruffled his own hair. "We're only human. We get lonely. But next time call me. Now go talk to Ethan and win him back tsundere-kun." Aiden didn't know about winning the blonde over... he just needed to apologize is all. He got up and went to find Ethan. Once he bumped into Ethan he*looked at him and sighed*

 

The mauve haired male then looked the blond in the eye. "Look Ethan, I'm sorry. I should of never said those things. I mean... I think you're great in bed. Probably better than most other guys I've been with... Sometimes my mouth gets the best of me. I hope we can past this and maybe sorta become friends."

[Stardust_Bunny]

Ethan's mouth went wide open at that comment. "W...W.." What, was what he wanted to say, but he simply couldn't, not after what he was told. He did not expect a reply as harsh as this one. Aiden's always been the smarter one. He had better comebacks, and could easily shut Ethan's mouth whenever he wanted to. Ouch. Guess he forgot about that ability. The blonde quickly left, his pride shattered. Was it true? Fuck, it was, wasn't it. That's why Aiden cheated on him. Fuck. Ethan knew he was to blame, and not his ex-boyfriend, but he never thought it would be for that reason. Bad sex. This was humiliating. Their long relationship ended because of ... bad sex.

 

He felt his eyes stinging. Ugh. Damn it. What the hell was happening. Ethan bit his lips and hurried outside. He bumped into someone on his way there. "Sorry, I .." He looked at the person he bumped into. Eyes met the mauve haired male. Aiden. Ethan quickly rubbed his eyes and breathed in. Play cool. "It's fine. You don't have to say it just to make me feel better. I appreciate the truth more." He didn't like how Aiden wanted to soothe him by lying. "I'm sorry I wasn't good enough. Sorry I .. didn't satisfy you. I-If I knew I was so bad, I would have tried to ... Never mind. It's cool. We're friends." Ethan lightly patted him on the shoulder. This was embarrassing. He had heard stories about people being so bad at sex that they broke up, but he never knew it would happen to him.

 

He sighed and shook his head. Damn it. Man up, Ethan. "I just wish you could have told me, Aiden. If it was something like that, I would have done anything in my power to fix it. I ..." He swallowed his pride. "I really loved you. I'd overdose on viagra if that would help." Would be weird to die from a continuous erection, but hey, everything in the name of love.

[iAnubis]

Aiden looked at Ethan and winced. He didn't mean to hurt Ethan so bad, again. It seemed like he was always hurting the blonde. It was his mouth more than anything else. His tongue was like a sharp blade, ready to slice anyone in half. He tried to bite it, but sometimes things just came out. He sighed as Ethan spoke. Why would I lie about something like that?' he thought. Aiden narrowed his eyes. Jeez. Ethan was acting like a real female right now. He held back the need to tell the man before him to shut up. He needed to speak too. The mauve haired male shook his head at the blonde and placed his hand over the other's mouth before taking a deep breath, giving him a sharp look through his glasses. "Now it's my turn to talk. And you listen blondie. He often called Ethan blondie when he was going to give a serious speech and wanted Ethan to zip his lips and actually hear what he had to say.

 

"First off, I said those things out of spite. Ok? I didn't mean it. And I did mean the whole thing about how good you were. You were always good, no... you were always great in bed. I can't lie about that. I didn't want to say it at first so your head wouldn't get too big... But now I have no choice but to admit it. And also I told you I was drunk and lonely ok? It was all a mistake. It was my fault, nothing to do with you. Just let it go alright? I told you to never doubt yourself once before right? So get out of your feelings and get over my outburst. You look like a kicked pup." Aiden took off his glasses and rubbed his eye before smiling softly before sliding them back on. "I'm going to go shower."

 

The male pat the blonde's chest before he headed upstairs to their shared room to take a shower.

[Stardust_Bunny]

Ethan's eyes brightened the more he listened. His lips curled into a big smile, one that kept growing throughout Aiden's confession. It made him so happy. He was delighted. A sudden rush of excitement went through him. His crotch heated. Damn. He was so happy, he could get a boner. "Gee, you're so violent." He lightheartedly laughed. His ex-lover was always so aggressive. It was more than satisfying when he spread his legs and dominated him in bed.

 

He also knew that, whenever Aiden was sexually frustrated, he got exceptionally aggressive. At least, that's what Ethan had noticed. Maybe it was just Aiden's temper, but he was pretty sure his mood was often linked to his physical well-being. A happy, satisfied man wouldn't be so sensitive and have such violent emotional outbursts, and so often, too. Aiden was in need of a good fuck, and Ethan was more than happy to give it to him. However, he doubted the mauve haired male would get over his pride to accept, not after what happened between them.

 

He sighed and decided to go find Rylan. Maybe he would have an idea what to do.

[iAnubis]

Rylan was in the kitchen eating his second plate of food. Two more people were in the kitchen eating their sandwiches an pancakes. He talked to them happily about what they were going to do today. Rylan thought that a nice trip to the beach was in order. Paragliding, waterskiing. So much to do at the beach. Especially the one at the board walk. They had little shops and restaurants, stands and even their own small amusement area with rides ad such. They would run it by the others and see who wanted to come along. Rylan finished eating and downed his expresso before he washed the dishes and went to look for his brother. That guy would never wake up at this rate and if he was up, he would not come down.

 

The red head headed up to his room before stopping when he saw Ethan. He smiled wide at the other. The man looked better than he did before leaving the kitchen. So Aiden must of made up with the blond. Thank goodness for that. "Hey man. You feeling better now?" he asked as he stopped in front of the other. They were about the same height, but Rylan felt like he was a little bit taller.

[Stardust_Bunny]

Ethan happily nodded. "I feel great, thanks!" He sounded great, too. Wasn't the scowling, growling Ethan from earlier. Seeing Rylan made him think about the suggestion from earlier. Sex with Rylan, huh. Sex with anyone here would feel good, really. "So, anyway. Sorry if I caused you any trouble earlier. My offer still stands, though." He sort of laughed it off, although it was the truth. Even if it sounded like he was joking, Ethan was serious. He wouldn't mind sleeping with Rylan. It was just sex, really. Buddy sex. Brojob. Friends with benefits. Who was he kidding, Rylan would never agree.

 

"Anyway, so uh, Aiden went to shower. Doubt he'd let me join him." Ethan joked, again, even if it was true. Aiden would probably kick him out if he sees him there. "I was actually going to ask you for advice. What do you think I should do now? I mean, Aiden's ... single, I think. I don't know if he still sees me as a friend or not, so before he friendzones me, I ... I think I want to give it another try. It was really my fault that we broke up, so I want a second chance." He was probably a fool for thinking that. What's done is done, they broke up for a reason, and the same would probably happen again. Still, he wanted to try it. "How do I, uh ... persuade him to give me a chance?"

[iAnubis]

Rylan pat his friend on the shoulders and nodded. "Well that's great. Glad to hear you are feeling better friend." He chuckled a bit. "Sorry mate, I don't bottom for anyone. No way. No how. Not even if I were drunk off my arse. But if you want to be the one that takes it up your hole. Than I'll take the offer." He ruffled the blond's hair. "But seriously though. I would refuse. Not because of you, but its the friend code. You can't have wex with your friend's ex boyfriend."

 

The red head rose a brow as the male mentioned Aiden going to shower. He smirked a bit before he placed an arm around Ethan's shoulder. "You don't say? And he didn't even offer you to join? You could always try my friend, but there is a 99.9 percent chance he will punch you or worse. So if you want to take that .1 percent of a chance than I dont see anything wrong with that." He encouraged "But make sure you tell him you're coming in first." The male spoke from his own experiences growing up with the mauve haired man.

 

Rylan cocked his head at the next few words. He was a bit shocked. He removed his arm and placed both hands on each shoulder, giving the blonde a soft smile. "Wow, Ethan. You have a good heart. I'd never give someone who cheated on me a second chance. Ha. You make me feel like a bad person. But if you're really serious about it. I'll help. I grew up with Lulu after all. He isn't that hard to persuade." Rylan clicked his tongue. "He's got a sweet tooth.... hmm... I say just get him a box of his favorite chocolate or pastries. And pop the question. If that's too straight forward for you. Drop hints that you want to get back together."

[Stardust_Bunny]

He didn't bottom for anyone? Aw, man. And here he thought the world was full of ukes. Ethan sighed. Rylan would make a good bottom. He bet if he got him drunk enough, he might agree to bottom, but seemed like there was no chance. "Fuck no." He pulled back from the hand ruffle. Like hell he would bottom for Rylan. He didn't bottom for anyone, not even Aiden. Especially Aiden. "Alright, alright. I get you." Although Aiden didn't have to know. They could just fuck behind his back. Ugh. This was horrible. Everyone thought Ethan was a goody two shoes, but he was actually a jackass. One of the many reasons why Aiden probably cheated on him.

 

"Yeah, I've never had much luck." He chuckled. Even if there was a 0.1 percent of not succeeding, he would probably still fail. Shit luck, really. "I don't even say that during sex." Coming in? Fuck no. He would break the door with his boner and be like, JUMP ON MA DICK. Ethan wasn't one to give warnings. What he did, he did it whether others liked to, or not. He never backed down on his word.

 

Although flattered, Ethan couldn't help but shrug. Others didn't know him well if they thought he had a good heart. He was anything but good. He was egoistic, greedy, a little distant with everyone, and did everything to get what he wanted, one way or another. He was not good at all. Although he liked how everyone complimented him. "Wait, you know about that?" Duh. Of course he knew. He was friends with Aiden, they probably told each other everything. "It's not really his fault, Ry. I was really busy, and Aiden was just frustrated and lonely. He gave in and that's how it happened. It's my fault I didn't notice it. I reacted horribly, I kicked him out, it was bad and I regret it." Aiden had probably never seen Ethan in that light before, so he wouldn't be surprised if the mauve haired male doesn't want to date him, after he saw what monster hid behind those brown eyes and that charismatic smile. "Whatever I do, I have to do it here, because once this whole beach house party ends, it's over. I think I'll start dropping hints, and ... if it doesn't work, I'll get more serious." Like, dead serious. Literally.

 

Ethan patted Rylan on the shoulder and went to the bathroom in their room. He stood there, waiting patiently for a few minutes, before he knocked on the door. "How long are you going to take? I kinda wanna shower." Poor Aiden. Couldn't even jerk off to relieve his sexual frustration, because Ethan never left him alone.

[iAnubis]

Rylan nodded. "Dude. I knew Aiden since we were in preschool. I know things about Aiden that he doesn't even know. Psssshhhh. Anyway I guess its both parties fault. So I wish you luck bro." the red head saluted before watching the other leave. He shook his head. "Idiots." he grumbled before he wen up to get his brother up so he could eat.

 

Aiden stood under the steamed shower as he looked at the drain. He had been busy in his own thoughts. About a lot of things. That's what he usually did in the shower. It was like a thinking place. Well, unless he wasn't alone. But he usually was. He snapped out of his thoughts and shampooed his hair before rinsing. He lathered his body washed off. And then sat on the shower stool and sighed. What the heck was he still doing here? Wasn't it time to just leave? He didn't want to do anything he regretted. Pertaining to his ex especially. Old feelings were rising up again. And he didn't want to just jump into the blonde's arms. That was too desperate. He shook his head. He had to be strong. The past is over.

 

'Would it be so bad to go out with Ethan again?'

 

In his mind yes, it really was. Because now there would be doubt. And it would always be the question of if he was cheating again or not. Trust wouldn't be given back. And a relationship was based on trust and honesty. Love too, but trust was important. He sighed deeply and shook his head. What should he do then? Leave the blonde alone. Avoid him as much as possible. They slept in the same room. 'Ugh. Life is frustrating. A casual hook up... once. Just sleep with him once and if you feel nothing, you can let bygones be bygones. Can move on.' After all weren't these feelings still existing because he didn't truly know how he felt about Ethan anymore...?

 

Aiden rolled his eyes when he heard a knock at the door followed by Ethan's voice. "Well speak of the devil." he sighed before he closed the water and stepped out of the water. He was met by the thick fog from the hot water. It felt nice. Aiden towel dried his hair before he wiped himself down and wrapped the towel around his lower half. "Hold your horses Ethan. I'm coming out." Aiden opened the door and blinked. He then reached for his glasses on the counter before slipping them on. Of course they were foggy. He wiped at them and stepped to the side. "It's all yours." he then ran a hand through his hair. "I think I used up all the hot water though. Just a fair warning."

[Stardust_Bunny]

Ethan avoided looking at Aiden's wet form, even if he had seen him before. He didn't want to seem desperate or horny, although Aiden was naturally very beautiful, and it was a body he did not want to share with anyone else. He groaned when he heard the bad news. Ugh. All the damn water? What, did he try to drown himself in there? Ethan usually showered pretty fast, and he used specialized products, too. Toners, special shampoos for dyed hair, body lotions, anything to keep him looking good, otherwise he wouldn't be a pretty model now, would he. Still, it didn't take much water, since he often stopped the shower while he lathered.

 

"It's fine, I'll wait until it warms up a bit." No way in hell was he going to get in the cold shower. He threw a discreet glance at Aiden. Nice. He looked good. Ethan sighed. Whatever. He was stupid. It wouldn't work out. It was silly to think that Aiden might want to get together after something like that.

 

He lied on the bed and relaxed. Nothing better to do, really, than to wait some good thirty minutes until the water warms up. He followed Aiden with his eyes. He wondered if his ex-boyfriend liked him still. Ugh. Damn it. It was as if he couldn't stop thinking about this around him. "Hey, are you comfortable sharing the room with me? You know we can switch."

[iAnubis]

Aiden moved around the room gathering his clothing choice for the day, before he sat on the couch and applied lotion to his arms and legs. He sprayed on his axe deodorant spray and then slipped on his boxers before taking his towel off. He looked at the blonde haired male and sighed at the question. Of course he didn't feel comfortable being around his ex, and even less so sleeping in the same room. He sighed again before he looked at the wall. "It's fine. Nothing we can do about it now anyway so..." he shrugged nonchalantly. What could they even do now. He would just suck it up and enjoy this free get away from home and work. He could not help but wonder about his tattoo shop though. But he trusted his crew to get things done. He needed to call in later on and maybe call his brothers to let them know he was "having fun" to ease their piece of mind. Aiden turned his attention back to the blonde male and watched him lay there for a minute before he closed his eyes. 'What's it going to be?' he asked himself.

 

 

Did he still have anything left for Ethan? Yeah. No denying that. But he did not want to act on impulse... or did he. Just to see where his feelings stood at least. He had to see. "Hey Ethan..." he walked over to the other and sat on the bed before he leaned down a bit to look into the male's hazel eyes. He inched closer until their noses touched before he lowered his eyelids. "Ethan, I-" before the mauve haired male could finish, he was distracted by a knock that came to their door. Aiden got up and sighed before he went to the door and opened it up just a crack.

 

"Hey. Um. We're going to the board walk in a few. Just wondering if you two are in." a female asked as she looked at him through the crack. Aiden narrowed his eyes in thought before looking back at Ethan and then at the female. "Yep." She nodded before she left. Aiden closed the door and went back to the couch to put on his jeans and shirt. "Uh. Just forget what I did just now."

[Stardust_Bunny]

Ethan nodded. It was true. Wasn't like they could do anything now. Although he could always sleep on the couch downstairs, but Aiden would probably not approve of that. Again, he was concerned about Aiden and his opinion. As if he couldn't live without knowing what Aiden thought. He sighed. This was so fucked up. He barely thought about Aiden until he got here. Now, he couldn't get him out of his mind. His eyes tracked the mauve haired male. He still couldn't help but admire that body. Good. He hasn't changed at all. Still as pretty as always. The smell of axe deodorant brought a little scowl. Ugh. Why must he use that spray? It didn't suit his gentle form at all. Not even he used it. Antonio Banderas fragrance all the way.

 

Suddenly, things took a turn, for better or for worse. He watched as Aiden sat beside him and leaned closer, their lips a breath away. His heartbeat quickened, pupils dilated, heat traveled down between his legs. He couldn't believe what he was seeing right now. Aiden, so close to him. "Aiden .." He softly whispered, a hand lifting to bury itself in the other's hair. Aiden. He wanted him so bad. It was crazy how old memories turned up like they happened just yesterday. Their relationships, their feelings, it all felt so fresh and new.

 

The knock on the door ruined everything. Ethan sat up, ruffling his hair. What just happened, he knew it happened with a reason. Aiden would never act this way unless he wanted it, too. He wanted, but what? Was it love? Was it sex? Was it ... friendship? The thought of being friendzoned terrified him. No. He had to make this clear. He did not want to be friends with Aiden. He wanted to be lovers. Silently, the blonde pulled Aiden on the bed, interrupting his dress up. "No." Like hell he would forget. Wasn't like he could, anyway. Ethan pressed him against the bed, hands and legs on either side of Aiden. Without a warning, he pressed his lips against the others, passionately kissing, albeit without a tongue. He was not going to let that chance slip by.

[iAnubis]

Aiden's eyes widened in surprise as he was pulled down onto the bed. He looked up at the blond with pure confusion in his eyes. What was Ethan up to now? Hearing the male say no to him. He furrowed his brows and opened is mouth to ask the male what was he talking about, but instead found that he was pinned down. His eyebrow quirked as his eyes lowered a bit. Being close like this, made his heart beat just a bit faster. Was it getting hot? The mauve haired male's eyes opened wide at the kiss. It was like an electric shock ran up his spin and spread through his entire body. He closed his eyes slowly and kissed the other male back just as passionately.

 

 

The memories came flooding back. Everything they used to be. Every kiss. Every hugs. Holidays. It all flooded through his mind. Shit... he really wasn't over this guy? He should be... after everything... Aiden opened his eyes and blinked what was he doing? He should not be kissing Ethan. It was a cat letting a mouse loose and the mouse comes right back into the trap. The mauve haired male pushed at the blonde's shoulders and when that didn't work, he head-butted the blonde. "What are you doing?... We have to get ready so we can go out. And you still haven't showered. Jeez. Get off me." Aiden stared up at Ethan and reached up to rub his cheek gently. "We'll talk about this later. I can't let my mind be fogged up at a time like this. Please."

[Stardust_Bunny]

Aiden returned the kiss, and Ethan found himself hardening. Fuck. It felt good. As if he was finally breathing air, after holding his breath for so long. It was weird. He felt like life just started, like it had been frozen up until this very kiss. His world filled with colors once more, and his heart was finally beating. Shit. He was hard. He hungrily licked Aiden's lips as he tried to push him away. The headbutt got him to bite his tongue accidentally. "Ow.." He sucked his tongue back in and hissed. Ow, ow, ow. Bad. His tongue bled a little in his mouth. Headbutting wasn't pleasant, especially when his tongue was out.

 

The mauve haired male's worries reminded Ethan that they were still in the real world, that they had more, much more to think of than some past relationship. He gave a reluctant nod. Fuck. He didn't want to go. He didn't want to part ways with Aiden. The blonde gave him another soft kiss, the faint taste of blood lingered on Aiden's lips. "I got you." He tilted his head against the other's hand, enjoying the lovely caress. Alright. He stood up and took off his shirt. Maybe he was acting a little too desperate. Ugh. He ruffled his blonde hair and unzipped his pants, leaving them on the bed. WIth just his boxers, Ethan walked past Aiden and entered the bathroom. The cold water was much desired right now.
