Midnight Rain

Chapter 18

                   
                     Can I love you more?

Gun was totally displeased yet he wasn't amused. He knew how much of a stubborn log Tin can possibly be, yet his stubbornness has reached it's peak and crossed it's limits.

The handsome heir of the company has been absent to work for a week now, and Gun knows, as a fellow employee himself, the workplace must be hell without him. It would still be hell even if Tin was present yet his absence added even more fuel to the burning fire. The core of their company is not there, any work done is in fear of extreme losses without close supervision. One mistake that stimulates blames of problems will have them at risk of getting their jobs done for!

Gun disapprovingly crossed his arms and formed a slanting frown. The person who slouched down on the couch pressing the remote of TV spared him a quick glance obliviously. A heavy sigh escaped Gun's drying lips. He cleared his throat and was ready to preach.

"Tin! You can't be like this forever! Your father has called me ten times today asking for you to go back! The workplace is a mess because you left work incomplete in the way. You have to go and solve it!"

Tin groaned as the remote in his hand was snatched away and the TV was switched off. "Listen to me will you!" Gun roared as he beckoned Tin to look at him.

Tin stretched out his limbs and yawned huge. His arms reached out around Gun's waist and slowly pulled onto it. Gun simply complied as the hands that grabbed his waist led him to sit on the spread out lap. "I just want to be with you, can't I be with you?" Tin mumbled as he buried his face in the thin fabric that covered Gun's chest, nuzzling the tip of his nose and heaving out soft breaths. Like a kitten begging to be petted

"But Tin......you left work unfinished. No one knows what you were planning to do with it. They can't just to whatever can they? Just go and complete what you have left, then you can be with me okay?"

"Don't want to!" Tin immediately replied as he pressed tighter onto Gun. "I don't want to! What if when I come back, you're not here anymore?"

Gun felt a pang of guilt ring in his chest. He was aware that somewhere deep, Tin was still afraid. What he had done to him had left a deep trace and it would be very hard to erase it completely. Gun delicately caressed the back of Tin's neck, he pressed soft kisses on the top of his head that was resting on his chest.

"Tin, this time, I promise I'll be here. I won't go anywhere. I'll be here right by your side, you have nothing to fear!" He whispered soft words clearly into his ears. Clearly with sincerity. "You know, I love you so much. I will never be able to stay away."

Tin huffed a little, as he felt relief washing down his shoulders. Gun felt the tense arms around him relax, Tin's heavy breathing subsiding in every exhale. "Just go to work with me, like we always do." He said as he pulled away and looked at Gun in the eyes "This time not just as my secretary and my best friend!"

Gun softly chuckled at Tin's words. Such a normal thing for him to do, but to Tin, it felt like heaven. The plump lips that broadened in a smile and those eyes that squinted into a crescent exposing the soft blush on the skin just below. Tin immediately leaned forward to press his lips on those flushed delights.

Gun giggled at the tickle on his skin. His arms swiftly wrapped around Tin's sturdy neck. "What do you want me to go as this time?"
His hands caressed the crook of Tin's neck as he pulled him closer into him.

Tin sniffed the sweet scent on Gun's broad shoulders, his eyes closed as he took complete sensation of it. It seemed so delicate, so palatable and he could only resort to the only thing he was thinking. To bite on it.

Gun's whole body shook as he felt hard dentures sink into his skin. So softly that he barely could feel any pain from it. A low hum escaped his lips when Tin's tongue generously licked over it. "This time, I want you to go there as my husband!" hot breath swept the wet skin spreading a gush of cold wind. The bite where the skin was thin felt especially sensual.

Gun laughed. He laughed when he heard Tin's answer to him. Not out of humor but out of complete stupor in order to eliminate any upcoming awkwardness. Despite looking so calm and humorous, his heart was beating out of his chest. So he leaned a bit backwards, afraid Tin will get a hint to it.

"Husband? We haven't even been boyfriends yet!" Gun exclaimed, attempting to push his reddening face away from Tin's line of sight. Yet Tin's sharp eyes had already caught a glimpse of it and Gun's reaction made him unable to resist that face.

Tin pressed his huge hands onto Gun's lean back and again, slammed him into his chest. His both arms circled around his back while he buried his face on Gun's fragrant nape. "We don't have to be boyfriends. Our relationship had already crossed it's significance ages ago!We have been soulmates forever! The only thing left is to be husbands. To have a connection that will elevate the status of our love into time of infinity. I want to be wedded to you, your past, your present, your future. I want to be with you and your forever. I want us to be unbreakable!"

Gun felt warmth engulf him all over again. Yet the pit of his stomach felt fluttering of chilly coldness. His heart felt as if it could spurt out thousands of butterflies right this moment. Yet it was his eyes that overflowed with salty wetness. "Shit! That's so cheesy! What the fuck!" He wanted to sound unamused and disgusted, yet his voice shook completely touched and sincere

Tin laughed softly under his breath. His hands rubbing Gun's back as the person in his arms broke out in frantic sobs. But Tin didn't feel heavy to see Gun's tears. He felt touched and serene. Gun's tears were of complete happiness. He had accepted Tin's love for him and was ready to give himself away. What was so hard for him all this time that he had pushed Tin away was no longer there terrifying him in his nightmares. And now he was completely ready to embrace Tin.

"So shall we pick a date?" Whispered Tin wiping Gun's tears away. His lips kissed gently on those delicate eyelids and traced down his swollen red lips. "My soon-to-be husband."

Still in tears, Gun broke out in soft laughs. He leaned forward and pressed a kiss on Tin's lips lovingly. This moment would be engraved in him for eternity. This moment he was finally set free of all his fears and uncertainty.

Gun was now ready to explore new spheres of life with his love who will be there with him for all his time. They will both hold each-other in the clouds of their embrace. Their hands will hold each other as they walk in completely new path of life. Their souls will be tied to each other for infinity
