Watch me Shine (bl)

50

When Akerian came here, he had another intention. He deliberately took the last metro train and came to Kaia leaving his car so that Kaia would offered to stay at his place. But he never imagined Julian would be there so his plan was ruined.

J - i.... I don't have a home.

Everyone was shocked. Did this billionaire just said he didn't have a home? Akerian wanted to laugh he knew what Julian was doing. Make Kaia offered to stay at his place. Luckily no one bought it.

K - i heard you've been staying in your office. Go back there.

Julian kept quiet and was somewhat embarassed that that didn't work.

K - seriously guys leave i wanna close up.

Akerian said in a hurry, "Wait! I rode the last train here, i didn't bring my car plus i don't have my wallet."

J - .....Me too....

K - Are you guys old or something? You got your phone don't you? Call a cab, pay online i don't care just leave.

That didn't work Akerian thought. Right now the two of them were giving ridiculous reasons not to go back.

A - Kaia I'm uncomfortable when I ride a cab, many people sat on it.

Spoken like a rich brat indeed.

J - I.... I'm afraid to ride in a cab.

A - ......

K - ......

Kaia finally got fed up with them. Actually he knew what they were trying to do but he just didn't want to. His apartment was already small andnkw these two hunks were trying to stay there. When he looked over, the two brothers looked like lost puppies.

K - *sigh fine. Come on.

The two were happy when they heard him. They would've been more happy if the other one just leave but they couldn't complain right now.

There were two umbrella. Kaia's own and the one Akerian bought. So now it's a battle to see who shares an umbrella with Kaia.

A - Julian you're a big guy so I think you should just use this one on your own and I'll go with Kaia.

Julian glared at him.

J - if you only bought one umbrella with you why bother to come here?

There they go again. Bickering back and forth. They really looked like siblings right now.

K - who says I'll be sharing mine? It's a folding umbrella so it's already small I'm not letting one of you take up my space so you two share.

A - What!? With him?!

K - if you don't want to then go home I don't care.

And so the two shut up and shared one umbrella while Kaia happily walked in the rain with his.

*********
The door opened to the small apartment and as Kaia guessed the two brothers were too big to fit in through the small door. Although Kaia himself was tall, he was lean and slim unlike these two with huge muscles and pacs.

And as if it's natural Akerian went inside Kaia's room and got changed. Julian stood at his spot feeling jealous. He saw how the two of them were working together in the kitchen, helping one another. It almost felt like Akerian also lived here.

When Kaia came up and gave Julian a hoodie to change into, the latter realised that this hoodie was his. It was the same hoodie that he bought all those years ago and sometimes Kaia would wear it saying it looks warm. At that time Julian thought Kaia was annoying and was trying hard to get him but now he could only wish those days back.

Julian took his hoodie and stared at it for a while.

K - it's yours. My clothes won't fit you. And Take it back.

J - ........you liked it.

K - I did but now it doesn't suit me anymore.

Julian felt like his heart dropped when he heard it. His nose was becoming irritating and he wanted to cry but he held it in.

J - ........ okay.

Kaia made chicken curry with rice that night and the three of them ate.

When Kaia was watching the dishes, Julian came in and tied the loose ends of the apron that he was wearing without a word.

J - you still don't tie these ends.

Kaia didn't reply and just washed the dishes. But then just like before Julian stood beside him and took one of the soaking plates and started drying it with a towel.

Before when they were still in Kaia's old apartment this was their everyday thing. After eating Kaia would wash and Julian would dry the plates. Remembering these memories Julian curved his lips into a smile.

Still the same and yet so different. Time truly does some wonderful things.
