Slow burn (mxm) [SB]

Chapter 14

Simon stayed with Tinka for most of the day, Cai showed up at 8 and stayed until it was 9 when Simon and Cai had to leave, they left and Tinka had himself go to sleep while Simon went and got ready for work. This cycle of visiting Tinka for most of the day continued for 2 days, Tinka was now able to leave the hospital, it was 10 am. "I can see Saxe now, right?!" Cai nodded and laughed a bit. "Yes, Yes you can," Tinka smiled.

Tinka was holding Simon's left hand with his right hand and all 3 were walking to their cars, Tinka was going with Simon and Cai was going with one of his friends. "I'll bring you Saxe soon, I'll also bring some of his stuff for you" Tinka nodded, Tinka and Cai agreed to have Tinka own Saxe since Cai couldn't be home enough to make sure Saxe was getting the right amount of attention, while Tinka is home for most of the day so he can play with and take care of Saxe better. Cai notices his friend's car. "Bye Babe and Simon"

"Bye" Simon and Tinka said bye, Cai walked to his friend's car while Simon walked to his truck with Tinka. They got to the truck and got in, Simon drove to Tinka's apartment where he had put Viper earlier. They get there and get out, they went to Tinka's apartment and walked in and saw Viper sitting in the middle of the living room, in the exact spot Simon left him. "Viper, come here"

Simon closed the door while Tinka called to Viper, Viper got up and ran to Tinka, Tinka kinda got down and Viper threw himself at Tinka and just whined while Tinka hugged Viper, Simon smiled. "I think he's crying-" Tinka laughed a bit. "He probably feels sorry for hurting me... although it wasn't his fault for doing that... is he scared of cats?"

Tinka stopped hugging Viper and stood up, he turned to Simon. "No, he likes cats... what about Saxe? How does he feel about dogs?" They walked over to the couch and sat down, Viper laid over both of their legs and Simon petted him. "Saxe likes to boss dogs around... he has seemed to find it entertaining..." Simon nodded. "So Viper will be fine-?"

"Yes" Simon nodded and Tinka looked around a bit then smiled a bit, Simon was confused. "Tinka?..." Tinka looked at Simon. "Simon, do you like me," Simon was surprised by the question. "I-in what way-?" Tinka slightly smiled. "I believe you know..." Simon now knew that Tinka asked him if he liked Tinka romantically. Simon didn't know what to say.

I don't know- I've never thought about it... I've also never been with a guy before- wait- why is Tinka asking me?! Does he like me that way!? Simon was overthinking and Tinka noticed. "Simon, yes or no" Simon looked at Tinka. "I-I..." Simon didn't know what to say.

They now heard a knock on the door meaning that Cai was there with Saxe. Tinka got up and walked over, he opened the door and Simon saw a flash of silver jump onto Tinka. "Saxe!!" Tinka started crying and hugged Saxe, Saxe also started crying by meowing. Cai stood outside the door smiling. "Baby, may I enter?..."

Tinka backed up from the door still holding Saxe, Cai walked in and closed the door, he also let go of Saxe's leash, Tinka turned and walked back to where he was sitting on the couch and Simon now saw what Saxe looked like, he was surprised by how beautiful Saxe looked, Viper is sitting next to Simon on the couch, Cai walked over. "Simon, that's your dog?" Simon looked at Cai. "Yeah, this is Viper," Cai nodded, They looked at Tinka and Saxe who were just sitting there hugging, Simon smiled. He really loves Saxe...

"Babe, I'm going to go get what I brought of Saxe's stuff... I'll bring more later. He really wanted to leave the house to see you-" Tinka nodded. "O-okay, thanks" Cai nodded and left.

Cai brought Saxe's food and a few toys of his, along with his scratching post and bed. Cai said that He would bring more after he was done with work. It was 30 minutes after Saxe got there did Tinka let go of Saxe after taking his leash off, Saxe stopped hugging Tinka, Saxe turned to look at Simon, he meowed. "That's Simon... the dog next to him is Viper"

Saxe looked up at Tinka and meowed again. "Yes... yes he's a dog-" Saxe meowed again, Saxe looked at Viper then jumped at him and was able to push Viper down, it surprised Simon while Tinka just laughed a bit. "I see what you mean now- he's also a strong cat-" Tinka nodded. "Yeah..." Saxe and Viper ran off to play in the apartment and Simon looked at Tinka. "Back to the question I asked before Saxe and Cai got here. Do you like me"

"Um-" Simon still didn't know what to say, Tinka kinda sat up more and moved closer to Simon. "Yes or no" Simon shifted a bit. "I-I..." Simon tried to turn his head away to look away but Tinka moved closer and put his hand on Simon's cheek and made Simon look at him, Simon blushed a bit. "Come on, yes or no"

"I-" Tinka kissed Simon quickly which cut Simon off. Tinka just kissed me- wait-... Tinka just kissed me!! Simon blushed more. "Do I need to kiss you to get you to answer? I will do that if I need to" Simon kinda shook his head. "Yo-you don't! I-I..." Saxe and Viper are now watching Simon and Tinka. Come on! Just say yes!! Simon shifted a bit. "I'll kiss you"

"Yo-you don't need to!! I-I!" Simon started to get angry with himself. Why can't I just say it?! Tinka kissed Simon again. "The pets are watching us, is that preventing you from answering?" Simon shifted. "Ma-maybe-" Tinka kinda nodded. "Saxe, bring Viper to my room..." Saxe actually nodded and got up, Viper followed Saxe into Tinka's room.

"Now, answer... yes or no?... or do I need to do more than a quick kiss to get your answer?" Simon started blushing more. "Ye-Yes!! I like you!!" Simon blushed a lot and Tinka smiled. "See, not too hard to say~" Simon shifted. "Wh-what about you?..."

"Was it not clear?... I kissed you twice... Do I need to do more?" Tinka moved his hand off Simon's face and onto Simon's waist. "N-no! I was just expecting more of a vocal answer rather than physical..." Tinka smiled. "Then, yes. Yes I do like you Simon" Simon nodded. "Can you stay here tonight? Like after work?" 

"Yeah... also- I've never dated a guy..." Tinka was kinda surprised. "Oh?... Who were your first 2 lovers?" Tinka let go of Simon but stayed where he was. "Female and non-binary... they were assigned female at birth- that doesn't matter but it tells you what I'm used to-" Tinka nodded. "Indeed it does" Simon got a bit nervous. "Why did you say that like that?..." Tinka smiled.

"Just the fact that I'll be the one to show you what it's like dating a guy, now... this question may be weird and you are allowed to not answer..." Simon nodded "But, were you top or bottom in your past relationships?" Simon blushed even more. "Uhhhh- wh-why?!" Tinka kinda smiled. "Just wondering... I'll tell you the gender of who I assaulted was" Simon nodded. "Okay... can I know that first?..." Tinka nodded.

"He was a guy," Simon nodded. "Okay..." Simon has hesatine to answer. "T-top..." Tinka smiled. "So you've never been a bottom~?" Simon nodded. "Then I'll also be the first to make you a bottom" Simon blushed even more, Tinka laughed a bit. "Don't worry, I will only do it when you're ready... I don't even really like sex..." Simon nodded, Tinka moved back and Simon shifted.

"Saxe!" Saxe ran to Tinka and Viper followed. "Simon is your dad as well now. And Viper, I'm your dad now to" Simon somehow blushed more. "Tinka!!" Tinka laughed a bit, Saxe meowed and Tinka looked at him. "Yes, Viper is your younger brother" Saxe meowed twice. "No- he's not the same as Bijn..." Saxe again actually nodded.

"You can understand Saxe-?!" Tinka looked at Simon. "Yeah... Well, mostly... sometimes I can't understand him..." Simon nodded. "That's cool," Tinka smiled. "Thanks" Saxe meowed from near his food, Tinka looked over and got up, he walked over.
