The boy Next Door

Ice Cream and Photos

A few days have passed and Daron's house was coming all together.
His living room was of a dark red color. His kitchen was of a light green color, the bathroom was a teal color and his bedroom was of a pinkish orange color. There were no more boxes scattered around his house. His house was all clean and tidy.

Daron was spending some time outside. He wore khaki shorts and a light green button up shirt. He was planting some flowers and mint outside on his front yard.
"Hey," a familiar voice called out. Daron quickly spun his head to the sound of his voice.
"Those are some nice flowers you've got there," Serj complimented. He rested his arms on Daron's fence.
"Oh hey! Thanks!," Daron exclaimed. Daron waved as he got off his knees and walked towards Serj with a smile.
"I was wondering if you'd like to go on a walk with me? Y'know to get to know the neighborhood a bit better," Serj said as he did some funny jazz hands.
Daron looked at him with a smirk. A smirk that he's grown so used to doing at men.
"I'd like that," Daron replied.

Daron had changed into some flared low waisted jeans to match with his lime button up shirt. He carried around a light green purse with him. He wore some black vans to go along with his last minute outfit.
Serj and Daron walked down the hill of the street they were in. The sun was going to set in less than an hour causing the sky to be orange. They passed by big houses, nice well kept bushes and cars as they walked.
"What made you come live over here?," Serj asked Daron. Serj was wearing some denim jeans and vans on his feet.
"Well it seemed like a quiet neighborhood so I looked into here when looking for a house to rent," Daron said, his hands in front of him as he walked.
"How long have you been living here?," Daron asked, looking up at Serj, his focus going onto his beard.
"About eight years," Serj replied.
"You live alone?," Daron curiously asked.
"Yup," Serj answered.
"Wow it must be nice having such a big house all to yourself. Dance around your house. Have a ton of privacy. Walk around naked," Daron giggled. Serj joined in laughing.
"I don't do that," Serj said as he chuckled.
"Oh c'mon who wouldn't do that," Daron playfully elbowed Serj on his arm.

They had made it to the streets. Cars sped by as they waited for the crosswalk to let them pass. Lights lit up the city. There were pharmacies, coffee shops, grocery stores and restaurants. They had stopped by to get ice cream.
They sat down on a bench at a nearby park. There was a playground with a few kids playing.
They watched the sun go down as they ate their ice cream.
"So, what do you do for a living?," Serj asked after putting a spoonful of pistachio ice cream in his mouth.
"Um, I'm a model," Daron's lips curled to a smile as he looked over at Serj. Daron's eyes were so big up close, especially with that eyeliner that traced his eyes.
"A model?," Serj raised an eyebrow with a curious smirk.
"Yeah I do photo shoots for magazines, makeup, clothes, you name it," Daron said as he looked at the playground. His nose was smoothly pointed down. He had a small mole on his nose but it wasn't visible from Serj's point of view.
"Maybe you should model for my computer company," Serj joked. Daron smiled, almost laughing.
"I don't see why not," Daron giggled.

Outside of Darons house stood the two men, getting ready to say their goodbyes. It was nighttime already and the sky has gone dark purple. Lights came from the inside of people's houses, from their front yard and from light poles on the street. The air was fresh and warm. So dreamy.

"It was nice getting to know you," Daron said as he looked up at Serj, his purse in his hands. "Same to you. I hope to see you again soon," Serj said his lips curling into a smile. Almost like a smiling cat. Cute!
"Do you think we can exchange numbers?," Daron asked.
"Of course," Serj replied as he reached into his pocket for his phone. Daron went into his purse and took out his red colored phone.
After putting their numbers into each other's phones they said their goodbyes and walked into their homes.
Daron was so happy. He held his phone to his chest as he laid his back on his front door.
"He's so cute!," Daron exclaimed to himself. He felt like a teenager with a crush.
"I wonder if he likes me too," Daron said as he bit his nail on his pinky finger.

Little did Daron know. There were paparazzis taking pictures of him and Serj.
"Daron and a mystery guy spotted eating ice cream at a park" was the title of a TMZ article.
There were so many comments.
"Where does he live?"
"Who is that guy? Does anyone know?"
"I'm so jealous!"
The comments went on and on.

Serj was getting ready for bed when he got a message from his friend John.
"Dude you're on a TMZ article" read the message.
"What?," Serj whispered to himself.
He walked over to his computer in his office. He sat down in his chair and searched up the article.
There it was. It wasn't too hard to find it. He was the talk of the town. A picture of him and Daron eating ice cream was plastered on the homepage. Serj scratched his goatee as he read through the article.
"He did say he was a model," Serj thought.
Serj wasn't new to paparazzi pictures. He'd get some on his ass every now and then when leaving his office. It was rare but it did happen. He was sadly used to it.
"That's enough internet for today," Serj sighed. Serj was in his red pijamas pants ready to go to bed. He turned off the computer and walked to his bedroom. The cold smooth wooden floors touched his bare feet.
His bedroom had high tall ceilings. A big window pointed to his backyard which was just grass, nothing much. Serj had bought these big curtains to go along with the window. A boring cream color. There were paintings hung up on the light brown colored walls. There were wooden framing going around the edge of the walls as well. There was a chandelier like light hanging above his bed.
On the floor, beneath his bed was a colorful rug with colors such as red, yellow, blue and green in shapes almost like paint splatters.

As Serj was in bed he couldn't stop thinking about those photos.
He's a special guy huh? Daron.
Serj started to picture Daron posing for the camera. Smiling as he posed with fruit. Posing with other women in front of a baby blue back drop.
I wonder if he does erotic photo shoots. - Serj thought to himself. He then imagined Daron as a playmate posing in a playboy magazine. Serj bit his lip at the thought. He'd be in a latex bunny suit and in fishnets that hugged his legs in such a sexy way. He'd wear white high heels, the same makeup he wore today and bunny ears on his head. His short hair put into a single ponytail in front of the headband with bunny ears on them. He'd be on all fours on a bed in a rich man's house. He'd look at the camera with such a sexy innocent face. Those big brown eyes looking right at you, his cute thin lips parted as if he was caught in the act.
A smile crept up on Serj's face. He couldn't help it. His neighbor was just so cute.
