We got bad blood. 🎡

Chapter 13 : Starry Night.

Jeff : Are you happy ?

Build : Yes, I am. You ?

Jeff : Me too. Let's run from there !

Build offers a smile as an answer, Jeff grabs his hand and they run away from the gala. People watch them leaving after they kiss that becomes a hot topic. They take Jeff's motorbike, they don't know where to go, it's too early to go home and they don't want to leave each other yet. Build lays his head against Jeff's back, his arms around his waist and he closes his eyes, he likes this feeling the air caressing his face while he feels the warmth of the other man against him.

They drive for a while, nobody talks, it's not awkward actually they enjoy it. Finally, they stop near a park. They get off the motorbike and they enter the park to lie down on the grass. They look at each other, they smile before Build starts to talk.

Build : I don't remember having a great night like that.. Thank you Jeff. Can we stay there for a moment ? The stars are beautiful, right ?

Jeff : It's the same for me. Sure, let's stay. Not as beautiful you are Build, but the view here is perfect.

Build's phone rings multiple times, although he doesn't look into it and shut it down, to focus on them. Even if they want to watch the sky, they can't stop staring at each other. Jeff turns to face his friend who does the same, he reaches Build's hair to put a strand of hair back in place. Nothing exists anymore except them. They are close, yet they feel still a distance between them, they don't know what others think or feel. They are scared to ruin this moment. Braver than before, Build makes the first move again.

Build : I love to see the stars. Even if I feel close to the moon, I can't explain it.. When I can't sleep, I go to my balcony and sit there watching the moon shining in the sky with the stars. I feel comforted by them.

Jeff : I like the moon. When I have time, I look at it and I get lost in my thoughts. We have so much in common. It's a shame we didn't talk before. I could have been a better boyfriend than him and steal you from him..

Jeff is thinking the last words, more he knows his partner, he wants more with him and erases every bad memory he can have. He would do everything he deserves and never make him cry. Without thinking, his hand goes down on Build's cheek, he can see him blush.

Build : I don't want to sleep alone tonight.. Can I sleep in your house please ?

Jeff : Of course ! Are you cold ? You shiver..

Build : A little bit ?

Jeff : Let me hug you to make you warm ?

Build : A.. Alright..

Build feels shy, he has a new view about Jeff, he knows that it's not in their plans. Still, he can't betray what he feels inside his chest, he is not ready, not to ruin everything, he is scared to lose him when he is on his side. Jeff is precious to him, he can be himself and not lie as he does to his friends. Build didn't move on about his first love, he learned to live with it and not worry his surrounding. Deep inside, he loved him too much, he was fooled many times. Until he met Jeff, now his anger, his sadness takes less space in his heart, he wins over with joy, shyness..

Jeff pulls him against him to embrace him, his heart beats faster feeling Build's face against his chest while he can't control himself to smell his hair. They could just head back to Jeff's house, but they prefer to hug each other. They don't care to ruin their suits even if the price was expensive. Suddenly, it's Jeff's phone to start to ring non-stop. He doesn't want to release his friend. Nothing is more urgent that Build.

Build : You should answer.. Or we can go to your house ?

Jeff : You're right... We can have a warm bath there.

Build : T...Together...? Oh my god..

Jeff : I was thinking each in turn. I like your idea, we can take one together. You're so romantic cutie.

Build : Don't laugh.. I'm embarassed... I promise to not be a pervert..

Jeff : I never thought this about you. You're too cute for that.

Build : I'm not innocent ! I know stuff, I mean I learnt to be better and have real pleasure !

Jeff : I never said otherwise. Look at you my little tomato !

Build : Anyways... Answer your phone so we can go..

Build breaks the hug to sit and to avoid Jeff's eyes. Jeff takes his phone from his suit pocket and answers it while sitting.

Jeff : Hello ?

Mile : Where are you ?

Jeff : Me ? Going home, why ?

Mile : Is Build still with you ?

Jeff : Yes. Why ?

Mile : Apo tried to call him but he doesn't answer his phone.

Jeff : Cutie. Your bestfriend tried to call you.

Build : I turned it off. Why ?

Jeff : You hear him ?

Mile : Well. They are pictures of you everywhere on social media. You two dancing, kissing and running away.

Jeff : Remember we thought that we will be safe until tomorrow morning with the photographers ?

Build : Yes ?

Jeff : Apparently some people took pictures too and they already posted them.

Build : Really ? My god.. Then tell him to tell Apo that we can discuss that tomorrow. I want to take that warm bath and sleep tonight.

Mile : Don't need to tell me, I heard everything. So Build will sleep at your house ? Interesting. I will tell Apo. Take care of him or my boyfriend will kill me then you.

Jeff : Thank you, bro. Yeah yeah, I know. I need to drive so talk to you later bye !

Jeff turns to face his friend, he gets up and holds out his hand to help him to get up. They walk towards his motorbike.

Jeff : It will be your first time in my house. I think you will like it and perhaps you will come often too..
