Blue

Kiss

Casper's Perspective
After spending a few hours in the infirmary to discover he has three bruised ribs and a fractured ankle, we were allowed to go back to the room. He gets all huffy and puffy about wearing a cast on his leg and using crutches, but eventually he complies and chills out.

Once back on our bed, he lays down. "Tired?" I ask, sitting next to him.

"Not yet. Still got some adrenaline in me. Can you set up a time to video call your siblings? I'm ready for any questions they throw at me. Oh, and while you figure that out, I'm going to head to the Orange suite."

He groans as he sits back up. "You sure you don't want to save that for tomorrow?" I say as I put a hand on his chest.

He puts a hand over mine and looks me in the eyes. "I have a lot of apologies to give. They deserve them as fast as possible."

I watch him slowly leave.

Leo's Perspective
I hate these damn crutches and this damn cast. But it's the fastest way I'll heal from what happened. So I make my way to the Orange suite without any complaints. I knock on the door and I realize that I feel quite nervous.

Merida answers. "Oh. You're back."

"I am. Can I come in? I would like to apologize to you all."

She opens the door and welcomes me inside. I go in and see Chrissy on the bed and Ethan on the couch. Chrissy smiles at me. "Welcome back to the mansion, Leo, we're so glad you're safe."

I smile back at her. "So Casper kept you updated. Good, less explaining to do then."

Ethan scowls at me. He's a threat. I push that thought away and focus on the task at hand. "I would like to say I'm sorry. I hurt Chrissy and in turn hurt you two. It was not out of malice, it was purely out of fear."

"Fight response. Makes total sense to me. All is forgiven, Leo." Chrissy happily says.

"Not so fast." Ethan stands up. "So you're saying you were scared of her?"

"No. I was having a nightmare and she woke me up. My brain instantly thought she was someone else, someone bad. So I reacted how I would as if she was a threat to my safety."

Ethan nods. Merida chimes in. "So is waking you up from a nightmare the only thing that causes that kind of fight response? Or should we be more mindful of other situations?"

"Honestly, that's the most extreme situation. But if I do feel threatened, I have been known to take a fighting stance and hit anyone that runs at me."

Ethan nods. "How does a person make you feel threatened?"

"Anyone who I think could beat me up is considered a threat. But when they become hostile towards me or run at me or actually threaten me, that's when I freak out. Oh, and if you ask me about drugs."

"Drugs?" Ethan asks.

"I'm an addict. I'm working on it, but recovery isn't linear and so when people ask me about drugs it's pretty triggering."

They all nod. Chrissy speaks for the group. "Thank you for apologizing, Leo. Again, we're really happy that you're safe."

"Thank you, and you're welcome." I smile and leave.

When I get back to my room, Casper is on the bed, typing away on his phone. I flop down next to him. "Still haven't gotten that kiss." I playfully say.

He chuckles and puts down his phone. He swings around and straddles my hips. He leans down and stops with his lips a few inches from mine. I hold his face and bring him the rest of the way down. Sparks fly as we find a rhythm. His lips are just as soft as I remember and I crave more. His hands travel slightly up my shirt and I sit up. I take my shirt off and Casper scrambles off of me to go lock the door. He returns and kisses me, getting back on my lap. I try to take his shirt off but he stops me. "No?" I ask.

"No." He responds as he returns to my lips.

Uhhhh, now what? I pull away. He stares at me. "Everything okay?"

"How far do you want to go today?" I ask, trying to keep it cool.

"As far as you want to go." He pants.

I assess my body. I'm hurt, badly. But I'm also very turned on. God, I want to fuck him. Or have him fuck me, either one would be nice. But there's the issue of experience and how to get to that point. No one teaches you anything about foreplay. But I do know that it should exist. I realize quickly that I have to tell him the truth. "Casper..."

"What?" He seems worried.

"I'm a virgin." I spit it out, and analyze his face.

He seems shocked, then smiles. "That's what you're worried about? Jesus Christ, Leo."

"What did you think I was worried about?"

"I don't know! That's what was scary!" He laughs.

I laugh with him. He looks at me and places a kiss on my lips. "Do you want to have sex today?"

"I don't think so." I shake my head.

"That's totally fine. What do you want to do?"

"You know what? I gotta go to the gym and see what I can still do with my ankle all fucked up." I say as he gets off of me.

He gives me a strange look as I pull the shirt back on. I grab my crutches and walk out. I make it down the stairs and to the gym, but I get a little frustrated at how long it takes.

I walk in and see Paolo finishing up. He looks at me with bright green eyes. "You got something on your mind. Need a friend?"

I sigh. "Honestly, yeah."

"Lucky for you, we're about to have our secret buff man club." He says while flexing his biceps.

"Huh?" I make a face.

"Just wait. It's fun, I promise."
