🌞Chapter 14🌻

Mew panted as he climbed the stairs of the pedestrian bridge.

"That was quick." Gulf smiled as he looked at his watch.

"Y-Yeah, I guess," Mew said, panting. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. "You said you only had half an hour, so I came as fast as I could." He had left his bike at the bottom of the bridge and run the rest of the way.

Gulf stared absentmindedly at the cars passing below them and wished he had at least gotten Mew a cold drink.

"Is the party over?" Mew asked. Standing next to Gulf, he noticed that he was slightly taller than his teacher. If anyone saw them together, they would probably have no idea they were teacher and student.

"Yeah," Gulf replied, "but they were saying they wanted to go on to another bar afterwards, but I'm too tired, so I snuck out."

"Wow, you sounded really old just now," Mew said teasingly.

"I'm 10 years older than you, you know. I usually sound old," Gulf said with a laugh.

"I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean..." Mew faltered.

"Don't worry about it," said Gulf. "I'm just stating the truth."

"Teach...?"

Gulf leaned against the railing and gazed at the traffic below. Mew gazed at the night sky. He was trying hard not to be restless at the sight of Gulf's beautiful profile.

"The night breeze is pretty cold, huh..." Gulf whispered.

After waiting a few seconds, so as not to be awkward, Mew put an arm around Gulf's shoulders.

"Mew...just putting your arm around me doesn't change the cold," Gulf said.

"Hm? Oh, I guess not."

But Mew didn't relinquish his hold.

"Why are you holding back now?" Gulf asked. They already had sex...he was a strange kid.

Mew pulled him closer and Gulf's cheek rested on his shoulder. Just the slight touch of their bodies together felt warm.

"This feels like we're really lovers, doesn't it?" Gulf remarked.

"Yeah..." Mew said with a sigh.

"It's not that bad," Gulf whispered. "I guess...Mew, what's that smell?"

"Hm? Do I smell or something?" Mew starting to panic.

"Did you already take a bath?" Gulf asked.

"Yeah..." Mew answered.

"I like it," Gulf suddenly said.

"Like what?" Mew asked.

"Nothing. We'll it's been a half-hour." Gulf looked up at Mew, who had a bit of disappointment in his eyes, but quickly smiled to hide it.

"Be careful on your way home, Teach." Mew reluctantly let Gulf go.

"You too," Gulf replied.

Mew wanted to ask why Gulf had called him and asked him so frantically to come out this late at night, but he didn't.

"Be careful," Gulf added.

"Goodnight, Teach." Mew bowed his head.

"Night," Gulf smiled.

Mew walked a few steps, and then suddenly turned his heel and went back to Gulf. "Teach." He embraced him tightly and said, "Teach, you smell good too."

His whole face went red. He ran down the pedistrian bridge.

Gulf watched as Mew hopped on his bike and raced away.

"That's why you have a reputation of being childish, silly," he murmured then smiled. "You could have at least kissed me instead of hugging me."

But it wasn't bad. Mew's words, his embrace, and his faint scent made Gulf feel comfortable.
