Growing Together

Chapter 21

"Please, Mork," Rain begged from the other side of the line.

"Rain, if your brother finds out that you only asked him to drive you to school to go run off on a date and cut class, he's going to kill you." Mork had groaned into his hand. Sun had been late with his meeting with his friends over this? And now, here was Rain asking him to cover for him so that he could run off on a trip with this said girl. "Rain..."

"Come on, Mork! Don't act like you and P'Sun won't benefit from me being out of the house for a weekend." Rain had said—and Mork hated that he could just picture the kind of face his friend was surely making.

"THAT is not the point!" Mork said a little embarrassed and annoyed. "I don't like lying to P'Sun for you."

"I promise I will tell him when I come back! Just help me this once!" Rain pleaded.

There was a point where he would go along with Rain schemes but back then P'Sun had thought it was him, who had suggested the ideas. Rain had always gotten them into trouble, but now that he was on this end he could see why P'Sun was constantly worrying about him. Rain was just a wild person at heart. So unpredictable, but that's what had made him so fun to be around. Because you never knew what kind of excitement the day would bring with Rain around. However, Mork felt like he was past that phase in his life. All he wanted now was to settle down and start a business of his own as P'Sun had done.

"Fine, but you better tell him the moment you are back." Mork had said leaning against the gate to the patio.

"Woohoo! Thanks Mork! I will bring you back a shell from the beach!" Rain cheered so happily that Mork couldn't help but smile as he shook his head.

"Er...If I don't get it, I'm telling P'Sun to fire you." He joked before hanging up on his friend just as he was about to complain.

"I could still fire him if you ask me nicely," Sun had said wrapping his arms around Mork's waist—and unintentionally making Mork jump a little.

"P'Sun!" Mork had let out in relief as he relaxed into his boyfriend's embrace. "It's rude to listen to other people's conversations." He said letting his hands gently caress the man's hands against his midsection.

"It's also inconsiderate to promise to lie to me for him," Sun said with a smile as he leaned down to kiss Mork's shoulder tenderly. He should be upset, but he really couldn't bring himself to be all that mad at the moment. Rain was just giving him an opportunity to carry out his own plan. Mork, just didn't know what awaited him these next couple of days.

"So, you did hear all of it then?" Mork said with a small sigh as he tugged at Sun's arms to loosen their hold. He had turned around to face him as he wrapped his arms around his shoulders, "What am I supposed to do? I want to understand him as a friend, but as your boyfriend, I also understand your worries."

"Don't worry about it right now, leave Rain to me," P'Sun said bringing his hand to cup Mork's cheek. He had leaned in to press a kiss to his forehead and then his nose, slowly pressing kisses across his cheeks down to his dimples.

"P'Sun, if you keep this up your friends are going to come looking for you," Mork had said, though he really didn't want to put a stop to the gentle touches being fluttered around his skin. If they were alone...just maybe...

"Just one more kiss then," Sun had said pulling Mork in for a proper kiss. It was short, sweet, and full of love and lingering with regret it couldn't last a moment longer. As much as Sun wanted to take advantage of this moment, Mork was right, they had guests that they could not neglect. Sun had slipped his hand into his boyfriend's own and let their fingers lace, and with one tug he was guiding him back inside.

"P'Sun, I know what I said to Rain, but don't be too hard on him," Mork said letting himself be tugged along. As much as he joked with Rain about getting him into trouble, he didn't actually wish to see the two brothers fight more than they usually did.

"That depends on Rain and if he can dare to tell the truth," Sun said honestly. As grateful as he was for this opportunity, his brother had wasted his time for no reason. Rain was pushing his luck, and that was something they both knew whether they said it out loud or not. But for Mork's sake, he wouldn't be too hard with his punishment.
