Its You Or Nothing at all [Boy x Boy]

Chapter 1

Ryle got busy with his packing and as promised Ethan started preparing for his last attempt. It was weekend and today was Ryle's flight to Britain. It was at 12 pm in the afternoon as Ryle was already at the airport. It was 11:30 as he was seated with his luggage. He called Ethan a while ago who was on his way to the airport.

After few minutes Ethan came running to the waiting area as Ryle told him he was there. As soon as Ryle saw him he exhaled a sigh of relief as he stood up and was immediately indulged in a tight hug. He wrapped his arms around Ethan tightly providing comfort to his only friend. After breaking the hug they both sat down and started talking till the announcement for the flight. 

At sharp 12, the announcement was made as they both stood up as Ryle looked at Ethan. He took a deep breath as he was trying his best not to break down in front of his friend.  

"I... have to get going Eth"

Ethan let out a shaky breath as he nodded. "Take care Ryle. Have a.. safe journey" 

They both hugged each other one last time as Ryle made its way to the jet bridge. He turned around to look at Ethan who waved with a smile but his eyes were teary as Ryle waved back the same way. It was hard for both of them to say goodbye even though they knew it was important. Once Ryle was out of sight Ethan took a deep breath and started walking away from there

It was the weekend which means that Lucas was finally coming back. I received his call in the morning saying he'll arrive at sharp 12 pm. As usual I did my morning routine, took a cold shower and then went to the cemetery to greet my parents. After I was done I again went to that cafe but unfortunately that cutie wasn't there. 

I had made a routine to go there and grab a coffee but its been 5 days I haven't seen him since that day. I wonder where is he or is he safe or not? Shrugging those thoughts off I was now at the airport. It was sharp 12 when I reached there. I started running to the area from where Lucas was gonna come only to get bumped into someone as we both fell with me on top of him. 

I looked at the person as I immediately froze. There he was, his beautiful greyish blue eyes looking straight into mine. His black hair falling on his forehead making him look more tempted. I felt like the time stopped. The voices of the other people who walked past us fading in the background. All I could focus on was..him and him alone. I glanced down at his lips, those pink lips begging to be kissed. I snapped out of my thoughts when he suddenly spoke.

"Uh.. get off from me.. please" 

I noticed how his voice was slight deep not more than mine though. I mentally cursed myself for enjoying the moment too much and making him uncomfortable. 

"Oh y- yeah I'm sorry" I said in my deep voice as I stood from him noticing how he slightly shivered when I spoke making me smirk faintly. I held out my hand as he hesitantly held it and stood up on his feet. Damn, his hand looked so good in mine. It fitted so perfectly that I didn't wanted to let go. 

"T- thank you" He said as he glanced at our hands making me realise and immediately let it go. 

"S- sorry about that" 

"Its.. okay" 

I noticed how his eyes were slightly teary and he was about to walk past me but I quickly stopped him."Wait!" *I said as he stopped and looked up at me. I was slightly taller than him. "What's... your name if you don't mind me asking?"

He looked at me intently before speaking "Its.. Ethan" With that he walked away leaving me in my own thoughts.

"Ethan" I mumbled the name to myself as a faint smile made it's way on my lips. His name was as beautiful as him. I wonder what else is beautiful- what the fuck is wrong with me! Damn he actually got we wrapped around his little finger and he doesn't even know it. 

I shook my head out from the thoughts and saw Lucas approaching with his luggage. I smiled when we waved at me and did the same. As soon as he got closer I hugged him as relief washed over me. Finally my friend was back and I'm NOT alone anymore but while I think of Ethan.. what was he doing here at the airport? Why was his eyes teary? why did he looked so... sad and probably exhausted? His eyes spoke so many emotions yet I couldn't figure out how to reach out to him. I'm not that of a stranger to him if I see it more clearly but he doesn't know that I like him so much that it hurts. Lucas broke the hug and noticed I was thinking something. 

"What's wrong bro? You okay?"

I looked at him and said "Yeah I'm fine its just-" I stopped in middle sentence as I saw Lucas frowning at me for not completing the sentence. 

"Just goddamn spill the tea Atlas!" 

I noticed how his voice sounded curious and I knew that I can't keep anything from him so I nodded in defeat. "Fine.. let's go to my place first" I said as he nodded and we made our way towards my car. After keeping his luggage and other stuffs I drove off to my apartment.

***************

As soon as he reached my place he flopped on the couch as I looked at him with a 'so done' look. I knew I missed him and it was good having him back. I missed his energetic aura. I gave him a glass of water which he took it while grinning. Ah that grinning.. I missed it. After drinking water he kept the glass on the coffee table and looked at me. 

"Okay so spill the tea boi" I chuckled softly at the "boi". Jeez he was so cheesy sometimes but do I hate it? Hell no!

I took a deep breath and told him everything about how I first saw Ethan at the cafe, how I felt so drawn to him and how I again met him at the airport. Also about the mixed emotions in his eyes.. everything. 

After I was done talking I looked at Lucas, he had that serious look on his face but suddenly he smirked. "My boy's whipped" He said as I immediately threw my hand up in the air in defeat. This isn't what I wanted to hear! I heard him snicker as I shot him a death glare as he immediately cleared his throat and looked at me. "Okay sorry! I'm sorry!" He said while rubbing my back soothingly. He inhaled then exhaled deeply.

"So what you wanna do now? Chase this Ethan guy around?"

I looked at him disbelief "Fuck. No Lucas. It's just I-"

"You're worried about him right? You wanna see him right? But how?"

I sighed

"Exactly... but how?"
