Love by Chance

PART III

"Wait! It doesn't make sense!", Earth complained after Fluke explained the weekend events. Twice.

"That's what I'm talking about, Earth! He just disappeared!", Fluke was exasperated.

"Well, maybe...", Earth said, narrowing his eyes.

"Maybe what?", Fluke offered because, at this point, any reasonable explanation would make him feel better.

"Maybe you're bad in bed, my friend. And that's why men keep running away from you. Poor thing, Kao and I will make a room so you won't be a lonely cat guy.", Earth said seriously.

"Earth, I'm gonna slap y--", Fluke was interrupted by Kao.

"Hey! No one's gonna slap my boyfriend, okay?", Kao said while placing a cup of tea in front of each of them.

Fluke went to Kao's apartment as soon as he arrived back to the city because he was trying to find an explanation to Ohm's behavior and thought Earth could help him.

"Well, I'm not bad in bed, ok? I think?", Fluke said with a huge question mark above his head.

"Why don't you guys try to think in something more likely? For example: Ohm received an urgent call and had to leave before you wake up! I'm gonna send you his address and then you can both talk about it! I'm sure he had his reasons.", Kao suggested.

It was weird leaving without a note or asking for one of the inn's receptionists to give him a message, but it wasn't impossible. That's why Fluke was in front of Ohm's condo right now and trying to decide if he should talk to the man or not.

But before he could think through it, a car stopped by and, for his surprise, Ohm stepped out of it.

"Ohmmy~! Aren't you forgetting something?", the driver asked in a soft and intimate tone.

"I'm sorry, babe!", Ohm answered while leaned in the window and kissed the driver. Just like that. Like he was used to do it. Like he and the driver were something and maybe because they truly were. At least, these were Fluke's thoughts watching the horror movie scene in front of his eyes.

After the kiss and the car left, Ohm turned to the building and saw Fluke standing there with a blank face like his soul had left his body.

"Fluke?", he asked stupidly.

"I just--", Fluke couldn't force himself to answer and tried to leave just like the car did a few seconds ago, but Ohm grabbed his hand stopping him.

"I think we need to talk.", Ohm said with pleading eyes.
