Love by Chance

PART II

Ohm wasn't expecting that from the tiny man in front of him and maybe the kiss was a little too wet and had too much tongue for such a public place, but he wasn't complaining. To be honest, since the first time he laid his eyes on Fluke, he felt something for him and that wasn't part of the plan.

5 hours earlier on that day, Kao called him to a brunch in a nice place near his condo. To a single man trying to save money, free food is always a good reason to meet people, so he went to the meeting without questioning too much.

For his surprise, Kao wasn't alone. He was with his boyfriend, a little shorter than he could imagine, but with a sassy aura, which suited Kao, surprisingly nice. In short: they were a cute couple and for a second Ohm wished this kind of thing for himself even if he knew it was impossible.

Kao's crazy boyfriend wanted him to meet a friend of his and be his date for the evening. Apparently, the guy was for some reason dragged into his ex's wedding and needed someone to tag along and don't look so miserable.

It wasn't his first choice or spending the evening, but Kao knew things about him. Even if the older didn't seem capable of sharing his secret to anyone, Ohm learnt on the hard way that you shouldn't trust people easily and that's why he accepted the request.

The thing he wasn't expecting is to meet such a nice guy as Fluke. Earth sent to his phone the link of Fluke's social media, but he didn't trust at all in the nice photos because if the man was really that pretty, probably wouldn't be that hard for him finding a date by himself. But after seeing the man face to face and confirming he was indeed handsome and cute, his mind started to wonder what was the problem with him.

He was thinking exactly about it when a guy approached them and it instantly seemed to startled Fluke. Ohm was ready to help the guy, again without a solid reason, he just felt this weird kind of compulsion for supporting him.

But then, Fluke just grabbed his nape and kissed him like he was trying to suck his soul through his mouth. After recognizing what was happening, Ohm helped the man on his little show and sliding his hand from his shoulder to his little waist, he held tight the slender body against his own broad one.

When they parted to breathe noticed that the disgusting man wasn't around anymore and people were trying their best to not disturb the kissing couple. Ohm took the chance to look down at the smaller face and was gifted with his red cheeks and heavy breath. "Adorable.", Ohm thought to himself.

"It is raining!", Fluke said after catching up his breath and trying to avoid Ohm's stare. It surprised the taller, but they had too little time to think about it. The rain got heavier with the wind blowing the tent of the event and the organizers were trying to gather all the guests in the building near the place.

The newlyweds informed the group that a storm was approaching and they should spent the night there, all expenses included. Apparently, the building was an inn rented for the reception and the rooms were available and ready to receive their guests. Unfortunately, the place was smaller than the currently number of the storm refugees and some of them were asked to share rooms and that was Ohm and Fluke's case.

"I'm sure it won't be a problem since you're boyfriends, right?", Chaittee commented and Fluke couldn't force himself to say the truth. Again.

Now they were in front of a king size bed of their designated room and trying to figure it out how to spent the night since they were, in fact, completely strangers. Fluke was giving some pep talk in his mind trying to convince himself that Earth would never match him with a serial killer and that it was okay to sleep beside him, but his thoughts were interrupted by the said man stating his own wishes:

"I'm gonna sleep on the floor and you can have the bed for yourself."

"Wait! What?", Fluke talked to the bathroom door because the taller man went there to took a shower even before listening to his answer, in a clear indication that the topic was closed for discussion.

"It's your turn now.", Ohm said after the shower and while trying to dry his hair with a towel.

Fluke quickly grabbed his bathrobe and went to the shower afraid of being alone with the shirtless man in the bedroom.

While undressing, Fluke was remembering the previous events of the day and that made him connect to past memories he'd like to forget. Next thing he saw, he was on the floor crying and Ohm was knocking on the door and calling his name.

Fluke was surprised and stood up to see what the man need, but when he opened the door, Ohm just grabbed his waist and hugged him. The hug was innocent and warm, it felt like recharging the good energies after that crazy long day and when Fluke realized what happened, his tears were dry and he tried to pull away.

"Are you okay?", Ohm whispered.

"Hum.", Fluke felt his throat hurt for all the crying and didn't want to talk.

"Do you feel okay if I let you take a shower alone?", Ohm asked looking into his eyes.

"I'm sad, not broken, Ohm!", Fluke tried to joke about his own misery and failed when a new tear escaped down his cheek.

"I'm gonna help you, come with me", Ohm said interlocking fingers with him and heading to the shower.

You see, maybe you would think they did something there since their sexual tension was indeed high. But the most absurd thing in this mad day is that these two perfectly hot guys did absolutely nothing besides taking a shower in that moment. Ohm washed Fluke's hair and massaged his whole body clean. Fluke felt safe all the time and finally relaxed. And if anybody asks, that feeling was worth an orgasm just by itself.

After the shower they dressed the bathrobes and got up to the bed. Ohm was still holding the tiny body close to his while Fluke was playing with the taller's hands. They were very big indeed and the rumors are right about it. I mean, Fluke was tired and sad, but not blind, so of course he stole a glance at the man's body while they were showering.

"Ohm, have you ever regretted not doing something in life?", Fluke suddenly asked.

"Hum... I don't think so. Most of the mistakes I've made in this life were caused by doing things that ended up hurting myself and the ones I love.", Ohm answered.

"I suppose this is as bad as not doing something too. You see, I was in the last year of College and was informed that the company where I had my internship wanted to hire me as an official employee. But the thing is that Chaittee, my boyfriend back then, wanted to marry after the graduation and move in to the province where he got a job offer. That's why we broke up.", Fluke explained.

"And how do you feel about it?", Ohm asked.

"I don't know. After crying my eyes out, I noticed that what bothers me the most about it wasn't saying 'no' to him, but it feels like I've said 'no' to myself. Because everyone kept saying how important was the first job and how the competition is high. I think that created in my mind a scenario where I could lose so many things if I had married to him.", Fluke tried to explain.

"And do you still feel anything for him?", Ohm was surprised with Fluke's confession.

"No! God, please, no! Chaittee and I would divorce on our second month together! The thing is... I'm tired of lose opportunities because of what other people may think. Even if it proves to be wrong in the future, I will know that the decision was made by me and not by fear of gossiping, you know?", Fluke was now staring deep at Ohm's eyes.

"Then tell me, Fluke: what do you want to do now?", Ohm offered the man.

"I'm gonna start with this...", Fluke said, leaning down and kissing Ohm. And now you're right: they did it! Fluke was surprised to notice how gentle and caring Ohm could be. And prepared too, by the way, because surprisingly, he carried in his backpack condoms and lube.

For most of the time they were staring into each other's eyes and Fluke felt a connection he believed to be the first time in his life. Everything was magical until he woke up in the next morning to a cold bed where Ohm should be lying.

He unlocked his phone and saw it wasn't 7 am yet, but Ohm had packed his things as if erasing his existence from the room.

"What the hell happened here?", Fluke asked to his reflection in the bathroom mirror.
