DANYOK: AFTER THE STORM

We Need To Talk 🗣️

Yok's course art exhibition lasted pretty much all day but it was no problem for Dan, he patiently waited until the end of the event while looking at other paintings as well. Yok didn't stay far from him and always followed him with his eyes.

When the exhibition ended it was already dark, Dan waited for Yok in front of the place and when he appeared they went to eat at a nearby place.

Despite the hug they gave earlier, they both looked a little embarrassed, especially Dan who kept avoiding eye contact with Yok and always looked around, when their food was served they started to eat slowly but without saying a sentence, thinking it was pretty stupid Yok ended that silence:

- Look, I know the food is good, but we can talk while we eat, right?

Dan looked at him and gave a slight smile until his face relaxed and began to speak:

- How have you been since everything that happened? And your friends?

- We are returning to our routine, we are not super happy because we know that we cannot change the world alone... We also learned that life is much more than fighting for justice, we have a personal life too, family and private dreams.. . I'll focus on that from now on.

- I'm glad you're thinking like that, youth passes very quickly and maybe when you want to focus on these things it might be too late...

- You speak as if you were an elder

- Well, I'm not far from it.

- ... If you think so...

The two had a few more laughs as obviously numbers are not and never have been an issue for them.

- How is your mother Yok?

-She's fine, she has a new job... She asks about you sometimes

- She's only seen me once.

- She can recognize when a person is important to me, in fact I wouldn't have introduced you to her if you weren'tYok and Dan give each other an intense look at this moment, it was as if they could feel each other's hearts.

- Yok... I don't deserve you

- I thought that before, but you know, more important than your action is your intention, I know you didn't have much choice, and you want to know too?The fact that you leave the police already takes away any doubts I might have

- Leaving the police is getting rid of more than a decade of my life, it's strange because I never seriously imagined pursuing a different career, but I'm also curious about the futureYok thoughtfully watched Dan as he spoke and soon asked what he really wanted to know.

- Where have you been all this time? Did you come back recently?

- It's been a little over a week since I came back, I was in another state all this time, along with my parents and in fact they are still there because I still don't think it's safe for them to come back. And to be on the safe side I changed my number and also didn't come to you at your house or garage, I'm afraid you're being followed. I haven't seen anything strange since I got back but still it's better to be cautious...

- It makes sense actually, Tauí has ​​many men who follow him around...

- Fortunately for you, the media is on top, if something happens to you, it will be clear that Tauí is involved and public opinion will turn even more against him

- Where have you been since you got here?

- In a room for rent for now, I have money saved to buy a house but I want to avoid anything fixed for now

- You can sleep at my house if you want

- Thank you, but it's better to avoid for now, I don't want to put you and your mother in danger, it's already risky for me to be here with you- You can stay in the garage with Gumpa actually, it will be a help to him who likes you and understood you from the beginning

- Thank you Yok, really.

The two men continued to talk and after eating Dan got on Yok's bike and went to a very busy bridge where they continued talking, time passed quickly and the bridge was not that busy anymore, and looking at nothing Dan stroked his hair of Yok who was staring at him.

Before Dan thought about making another move, Yok gave him a kiss surprising him, first lightly and then intensifying and soon after his surprise Dan soon tried to follow the rhythm of that young man's kiss.

His tongues curled so they looked like they wouldn't come loose and they didn't want that either.The two continued in an intense kissing mood for a few more minutes, when it was very late Yok took Dan on a motorcycle and left him near a bus stop, the two said goodbye and each went in their direction, and despite their different paths both had such a wide smile on their faces that even someone from a long way off would have noticed it.

A really happy night.
