Adversity

Both stare at each other before Charlie moves closer, he waits for Babe to resist but then kisses the older alpha when Babe doesn't push him away.

They pulled away from the messy kiss and stared at each other quietly, both were breathing hard yet none made any move. A couple of seconds later, Babe gently pushed Charlie away and coughed before he spoke, "We should sleep..."

"P'Babe...." Charlie whispered

"Sleep, Charlie.." Babe turned to the opposite side and closed his eyes tightly. He knew that what was happening between them was going to lead them to an awkward situation later and also he didn't have courage to talk to Charlie about it.

"Charlie?!" Babe whispered in panic when the younger enigma hugged him from behind.

"....I like Phee..." Charlie whispered as he leans his head on Babe's shoulder

"I like Phee a lot..." Charlie whispered again while tightening his hand around Babe's waist. Babe felt his breath hitch but he let Charlie continue, "I thought P'Babe likes P'Way but P'Way already has a boyfriend so I'm sure P'Babe is single...."

Babe felt Charlie kissing his shoulder as the younger boy continued, "So...please like me too, Phee? Charlie likes P'Babe a lot..."

Babe didn't know how to react, he couldn't believe his ears that Charlie confessed. Babe was feeling both relief and excited on hearing Charlie's confession.

Babe slowly turned around to look at Charlie, the younger boy was tense. He was waiting for Babe's response impatiently. Charlie was about to pull his hand away from Babe's waist but suddenly Babe grabbed it and brought Charlie's hand back to his waist.

He got closer to Charlie and snuggled into him without answering Charlie's confession. Charlie was confused by Babe's action as he still didn't understand whether Babe liked him or the older man was trying to brush him off.

"P'Babe..." Charlie called the older alpha emotionally

"Let's give it a try, possibly keep it between us until you complete your internship. I don't think, P'Alan would appreciate it if finds out I'm dating his interns.." BAbe whispered while clinging to Charlie's shirt.

Charlie smiles brightly and hugs Babe while thinking about it. Already a month passed, 2 months more for his internship to get over.

The next morning, Charlie woke up due to noises around them and looked at his watch in confusion which displaced 6 am, "P'Dean?"

"You both look cosy..." Dean commented in amusement as he stared at them. Charlie blinks a couple of times before he remembered the previous night. He gently unwrapped Babe's hands around them before sitting up and smiling brightly

"It was too cold..." Charlie made excuse while giving Dean a silly smile

"Babe is really good to you! Other than Way, if it was someone else, definitely Babe would have murdered them for clinging to him.." Dean commented

"Phee isn't that violent..." Dean rolled his eyes on listening to Charlie and spoke, "Wake him and you both go and freshen up! Jeff will be here soon. We both will Handle till you two return back.."

"Thank you, Phee!!" Charlie gave Dean a sweet smile which made Dean end up smiling too as he left the hall, "That kid is so cheerfully adorable that even Babe melted..."

Once Dean left, Charlie looked at Babe and grins, he leaned down and started kissing Babe's face which made Bave groan before he finally opened his eyes, "Good morning Phee!!"

Charlie kissed Babe's face again which made the alpha laugh instead, "You're really a puppy!"

"P'Dean is here, let's go and freshen up" Charlie informed Babe while fixing Babe's hair.
