MewGulf - Crossing the Line

4

After spending the night at Gulf's place, Mew and Gulf had driven to Mew's place in the morning so he could get changed then had headed into work. They'd had a busy day of work, then Gulf had left for a family dinner. He'd told Mew he'd be spending the night at his parents' house. Mew had gone out to dinner with some friends to distract himself, but had spent the night looking at his phone. He didn't want to text Gulf while he was enjoying some family time, but he secretly hoped Gulf would text him. He'd gone home around 10 o'clock without having heard from Gulf. Feeling miserable, he'd showered and gone to bed.

While he was tossing in bed and trying to will himself to sleep, his phone buzzed on the nightstand.

Mew reached for it, turning it over to see who was contacting him. His heart skipped a beat when he saw the name: Gulf. He swiped up his screen to see the message.

G: Sweet dreams :)

Mew felt his heart flutter. Underneath the message, a text bubble appeared, then disappeared. Mew held his breath as he stared at his screen. Suddenly, a second message appeared.

G: I can't wait to see you tomorrow

Mew couldn't stop the wide smile taking over his face. Gulf couldn't wait to see him. Emboldened, he replied:

M: Me too :) Can we have dinner together after work?

G: I'd like that :)

M: Great :)

M: Good night :)

G: Good night :)

Mew grinned as he put his phone back on the nightstand. Tomorrow couldn't come soon enough.

...

Mew arrived at work early the next day, impatient to see Gulf. He rushed to get dressed then headed into the makeup room.

When Gulf walked in a few minutes later, they greeted each other quietly, both blushing.

The day was busy with filming, and sometime in the afternoon one of the other actors had exclaimed that the day was flying by, but to Mew it felt like the day was dragging on, every hour infinite as he waited for the work day to end so he could finally get Gulf to himself.

During a short break, Mew headed to the bathroom. As he was getting ready to head back, Gulf walked in.

"Hi" he said shyly.

"Hi" Mew replied, smiling softly.

He took a step forward and reached for Gulf's hand. He looked down at their joined hands as he gently stroked Gulf's fingers.

"Where would you like to go tonight?" he asked.

"Hmm I don't know... Maybe somewhere quiet? I kind of just want to be with you..." he added, blushing brightly.

Mew's smile grew wider.

"Then, how about we grab some food somewhere and go to my place? We can have dinner and watch a movie?"

Gulf smiled.

"Ok, let's do that."

With his free hand, Mew reached for Gulf's face. He stroked his cheek gently, then, checking the door quickly, he leaned forward and pressed his lips against Gulf's, just for a moment. He couldn't care less if someone saw them, but he didn't know how Gulf felt and he didn't want to put him in an uncomfortable position, so he pulled away quickly.

"I'll see you back out there ok?" he said softly, smiling, then left the bathroom.

A few minutes later Gulf walked back onto set.
