Solo en Mis Ojos (Carlando & Lestappen)

Chapter 7

"Max I think you should stay here tonight." Charles says first before max can even form the question in his head.

"Are you sure? I can leave i mean." Max says trying to play off the fact he wants to stay even when he got the offer.

"I am sure you are in no state to be alone tonight so please stay here and I will accommodate you." Charles says genuinely concerned for Max's wellbeing especially the tipsy state he is in.

"Okay I guess if you insist, then I will stay with you tonight now where will I will be sleeping?" Max asks trying to hide his excitement and the nervousness but what Charles says next he wasn't prepared for...

"You and I will be sharing a bed." Charles says in confidence. Before max can protest Charles stands up from the couch and takes both now empty glasses to the sink in the kitchen.

Charles comes back and before he is completely in the living room standing infront of the staircase he looks in the direction of Max who has yet to move an inch. "Follow me!"

Charles heads up the stairs first trying to play off his feelings as nonchalant banter but in reality he is trying to hide what he really wants to do.

Max is still sitting on the couch trying to wrap his head around what has happened in the past 2 minutes. Max takes a deep breath stands up even though his world is a little hazy right now. He staggers a little bit up while going up the stairs.

His body is drunk but his brain is sober. He makes it to the second floor and heads towards the room with the only door that is opened and has the light on.

Max enters the room with caution. He analyzes the room while Charles is in the bathroom. The room is white with a light grey trim. The colors going throughout the interior design as well. The bed looked to be a California King with how spacious it was.

"I thought I had scared you away." Charles says. Max noticed that charles changed into his silk pajamas.

"May I borrow a pair of shorts or something to sleep in?" Max asks getting more and more sober because of the nerves coming back.

"No I was going to make you sleep naked." Charles says smiling mischievously before busting out laughing at the shocked yet amused reaction on Max's face.

"I am only just kidding hang on one minute. I have bigger sized pants in this drawer." Charles goes towards the dresser but gets stopped by the words that come out of Max's mouth.

Max's lips move quicker then his brain because he says," I think, me just wearing boxers will be more comfortable then other clothes and I am quite hot because of the alcohol."

It is Charles turn to be shocked because of how straightforward max is being.

Max casual just strips down to his boxers not caring that Charles is secretly blushing while watching over his shoulder.

Max goes to a side of the bed, lifts the duvet, gets underneath it and comfortable then looks up to Charles who is too stunned to move.

"Are you going to join me?" Max smirks sarcastically; basically telling Charles "two can play that game." Referring to the joke Charles had said a few minutes ago.

"Yes! I am!" Charles comes back to his senses and goes to the wall to shut off the light then continues to go to the opposite side of the bed and gets underneath the covers.

There is an awkward silence between them. Max is still trying to process the irrational decision he just made. Charles is trying to not imagine what is underneath those boxers because that is the only item that is between him seeing the whole of Max.

Charles scoots a little more closer to max but not enough to allow him to notice. Max looks over and sees Charles looking right back at him.

Charles feels confidence to lurch forward and now there faces are inches apart. Max doesn't know if to turn away or stay in place but his curiousness is making him stay in place for what Charles may do next.

They maintain eye contact as Charles leans forward to the point there lips brush slightly. Max's breath is caught in his throat because of what Charles is testing the waters to do. With max still not pulling away Charles takes it a step further and places his lips softly against Max's.

Max hums and kisses back it is slow and passionate both expressing the hidden feelings they have had for along time. The rivalry they have had over the years was not necessarily a choice but more or less instigated by the people around them.

All of the past races and all the things that previous made them hate each other is all forgotten because neither one of them could care about any of that at the moment.

Charles senses kick and make him suddenly pull away with wide eyes. He was kind of waiting for max to hit him or not.

Charles finally looks to max once again since he has heard anything after pulling away. He looks to see a face of disappointment. Charles was not expecting that.

"Why did you stop?" Max asks the stern tone heard making Charles lightly shiver.

"Didn't think you liked it and I got scared because of the nerves and ..." Charles is kind of disappointed in himself as well he might have just ruined their friendship or helped it he doesn't know.

"You can't pussy out in the middle of making out just because your brain has second thoughts about your actions.I even kissed back isn't that enough reassurance?" Max is not disappointed in Charles he was really enjoying having the soft lips against his and it had to stop because the dumbass was having second thoughts. Bullshit!

Charles leans in again after hearing Max's comment and they lock lips once again. Max bites Charles's bottom lip to make him gasp so he can explore more. Max slides his tongue in making Charles let out another gasp because he has never had this experience before.

After a few more seconds pass max pulls away this time both of them are smiling endearingly at each other.

"I hope we both are feeling this amount of happiness in the morning?" Max says as he sees Charles closing his eyes to go off into dreamland with the same smile still on his face.
