16: El Tesoro

"This is so good! Thank you so much Mew!"

Gulf grinned before going back to wolfing down the food. His cheeks are filled with food, making him look like a hamster.

"You should try this Mew! The crispy, flavourful crunchy outside with moist and juicy meat on the inside is so good." Gulf moaned, taking a bite.

Mew's eyes were green but not the kind of shade that's easy to describe. It was almost like they were both green and yellow at the same time, with blue creeping in around the edges as if it were trying to take over.

Mew resisted the urge to take Gulf right there and then. Trying to distract himself, he took his glass of El Tesoro Extra Añejo and drank from it.

Gulf's eyes followed the action. That sexy Adam's apple that moved when Mew drank from the glass, the fingers that held the glass comfortably, those veins...

Gulf averted his gaze, choosing to concentrate on eating his KFC.

With only one piece of chicken left, he wanted to share it with Mew.

Cutting off a piece, Gulf brought it in front of Mew.

"This is from the last piece of chicken. Although I would normally have finished it off without a second thought, I wanted to share it with you. So you better eat it before I regret my decision."

"Don't mind if I take up the offer then."

Mew moved closer towards Gulf who sat beside him on the couch, bringing his mouth to the piece of chicken held by Gulf's fingers. Taking it with his mouth, he tucked it to the corner of his mouth before sucking Gulf's fingers a little. His tongue slowly swirled around Gulf's fingers, gentle yet sensuous.

Moving back, Mew smirked devilishly. "Thank you for the treat."

Sulking, Gulf thought: Hmph. Don't think you are the only one who can do something like this.

After cleaning his hand with a wet wipe, Gulf turned around to face Mew. Taking the glass that Mew was drinking from, he placed it on the table.

Wrapping his arms around Mew's neck, Gulf purred into his ear. "Since you have claimed your treat, then don't mind me claiming my own treat."

Before Mew could process what Gulf was talking about, he felt a soft pair of lips on his own.

Recovering from his shock, Mew smiled tenderly against the kiss.

Wrapping his arms around Gulf's waist, Mew pulled Gulf closer till Gulf was in between his legs, straddling him.

Mew pressed his tongue to the seam of Gulf's lips and, at his grant of access, delved inside his mouth.

Gulf's arms reached up and tangled around Mew's neck.

Gulf could nearly feel the slight burn of the alcohol as it rolled off his tongue and seeped down his throat with every push of Mew's tongue against his.

He could taste the alcohol, rich and creamy, full of cinnamon, nutmeg, chocolate, and vanilla note. He wasn't sure if it was because of the alcohol or Mew that he felt himself drowning in the kiss.

As they parted, Gulf saw Mew's eyes sparkle and lips curve up into a smile and he couldn't help but smile back.

"Gulf, will you be my boyfriend?"

Mew gazed at Gulf lovingly, his eyes softening with tenderness.

Gulf thought back to the one and a half months of knowing Mew, their memories and their interaction.

Remembering Mew's respect for him and his brothers, how they made sure to communicate with each other even if they had quarrelled, how much Mew cared for him and him for Mew, Gulf nodded his head.

"Yes. I will be your boyfriend."

Mew got up excitedly and embraced Gulf, twirling him around.

"Yes!"

Gulf laughed at Mew's excitedness, wriggling in his hold. Patting Mew's back, Gulf giggled. "Put me down before I throw up!"

Seeing the commotion, Chopper circled them excitedly, barking crazily.

Mew placed Gulf on the couch, still hugging him. Chopper went up the steps to the couch, snuggling in between our embrace. Gulf bathed in Mew's warmth and the smell of freshly laundered clothes, gently stroking Chopper's fur.

"I am just so happy Gulf." Mew nuzzled his head into the crook of Gulf's neck, hugging him tighter.

Gulf smiled at how cute Mew was behaving.

"Me too Mew. Me too." He hugged Mew back tightly as well, resting his head on Mew's shoulder.
