Ch. 16 ~ Third Party

"Hey, what happened to your hand, Jace?"

Doby asked with concern.

"It's just a small bruise,"

Jace replied.

"I got it while practicing my dance moves."

Gently, Doby removed Jace's hand from their embrace and stood up to fetch the first-aid kit.

"Where are you going?"

Jace asked.

"I'm going to put some ointment on your hand so it heals faster,"

"Oh, don't worry about that. Just give my hand a kiss and I'll be fine."

"You're too much,"

Doby laughed.

"You always find a way to get your way."

Jace grinned and playfully give his hand to him

"Nananana,"

While Doby shook his head. Despite his teasing, Doby thought about how Jace was becoming a bit of a spoiled boyfriend, always acting cute like a playful puppy whenever they were together. He also reminded Jace to be careful about their public displays of affection on camera, because both their fans and co-actors were always watching and wondering about their relationship.

With a smile, Doby took Jace's hand and kissed it, just as Jace had wished.

"Happy now?"

Doby asked with a playful tone. Jace returned the smile and moved closer to kiss Doby, but Doby quickly covered his mouth.

"You know what will happen if I let you do that,"

Doby warned.

"But it's been a week since we really saw each other,"

Jace said softly.

"I missed you."

"We met just yesterday, Jace."

"It's different when we meet for work,"

Jace explained.

"When we're together as a couple, I want to hug you, kiss you, and be close to you."

"Shhh, stop it!"

Doby interrupted with a laugh.

"Okay, then let me just hug you instead,"

Jace offered. Doby leaned back into Jace's chest, and Jace wrapped his arms around him in a warm embrace. He even sniffed Doby's hair and squeezed him like a big, loving bear hug.

After a few moments, Jace gently pushed Doby back and wrapped his hands around him again, planting soft kisses on Doby's cheeks and lips.

"Ahaha, Jace, you promised me,"

"I'm sorry,"

Jace said with a mischievous smile.

"I was just kidding."

"Jace, please..."

Doby giggled as he protested,

"It tickles, Jace!"

Their flirting began with teasing lead to a spicy moment as Jace challenged Doby. Soon the room heated into silence, replaced by a sensible tension that electrified the space between them. Jace's hand found its way, almost automatic, to Doby's wrist. The warmth of that contact sent shivers up his arm, and Doby's eyes lit up in granting. In the very moment, every brush of their skin, seemed to echo with unsaid desires.
