The Sultry Stranger (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 10: Complicated

As a part of a special double feature, I am updating two chapters at once! I know, exciting! Both chapters are pretty lengthy so you'll get a decent read out of them, especially since you've waited so long for me to update. Sorry about that by the way. I'll try and keep a schedule, school just has me so damn twisted recently lol. Anywho, and without further ado, here is chapter 10 of The Sultry Stranger: Complicated!

I immediately regret asking my question as I see a dismal expression spread across Avi's face. Maybe I'm touching on a bit of a touchy topic, probably should revoke the question, "hey, you don't have to talk about it if-"

I am cut off as he begins to speak, "No no, it's fine. I just haven't talked about this in a while, the last person I told this story to was Scott, and that was years ago. Just need to mentally prep myself."

I get up and walk into the kitchen, pulling out the milk from the fridge and a couple packets of got chocolate mix. "Would you like a cup?" I ask Avi from across the room.

"Yes please," he says politely. We are both silent as a whip up or beverages. Once hot, I mix the chocolate in, top it with a fluffy layer of whipped cream, scatter a few marshmallows here and there, crumble gram cracker over the top, and drizzling chocolate syrup over the entire thing. I reach on top of the fridge for the waffer straws and place them in either cup. I stride over to where Avi is sitting silently when I see his eyes light up at the sight of the drinks I've prepared for the two of us.
"What is this!?" he exclaims.

I chuckle softly, "What does it look like? Its hot chocolate silly."

He shakes his head rapidly as he grasps the mug in his paws, "This is no ordinary hot chocolate, look at all you've done to it!" he continues to tell before taking a sip and he eyes snapping open wide, "IS THIS S'MORES HOT CHOCOLATE!?"

I lift my own mug to my lips and take the refeshing first sip then placing it on the floor next to me. Now sporting a new whipped mustache I say, "Um, yeah... Do you like s'mores? You asked for hot chocolate and was hoping you would enjoy a little extra.." I explain timidly.

Avi, now on his knees, reaches over and takes both my hands into his and stares me directly in the eyes, "Josh, I don't think you understand how much I LOVE s'mores. It's like, my favorite snack. How did you know how to make this into a drink?"

I look away sheepishly, "Well I do work as a barista, it's kind of my job to make things like this everyday. I didn't know you would like it so much."

Avi releases my hands and reaches up with his now free one and wipes the froth from my upper lips with his index finger, bringing the white fluff to his own and slowly sliding his finger into his mouth. My face burns up from the unexpectedly flirtatious behavior. I feel a slight twinge from my lower regions and I immediately cover my lap with my mug.

Avi relaxes back into his spot and drinks more of his candied drink. I admire just how adorable Avi looks with his lion onesie and his hot chocolate. Not to mention he is now sitting criss crossed. He looks like a child! The hottest child I've ever seen- Woah. Not a sentence I should be thinking. I'm glad I didn't say this out loud. That would be emb-

"You did," Avi says with a huge grin on his face. I bury my face into the nearest teddy bear I could find, I cannot believe I just did that.

"Don't worry, you're looking like a pretty hot child too with your face buried in the bear like that," he says. As I look up from my bear shield to acknowledge what he said, he winks at me and I immediately return my face back to my shield.

Thinking quickly, I remember the topic we were originally on, "So, um, what happened with Kirstie and you?"

Avi's whole body stiffens up at my words and I hate myself again, you fucked up again! I can never say the right thing.
