On The Edge

Chapter Twelve

Blaine's POV

if you had told me two weeks ago that I'd be living with a gay guy, I'd have laughed in your face but here we stood opposite each other just starting at each other, it was reallyawkward, I stood at the left side of the bed and Jason and Cailen stood at the right Cailen was hiding behind his dad whose head was still in a bandage, he still won't come near me and if Jason wasn't there, he'd start to scream. Jason was holding a small bag in his hands, I was guessing he didn't want to stay here long. "so, this is your room."

He looked around it, not much to see, I decided, my bed was at the center of the room, the entire room decor was done in white, I wasn't really a colour guy, there was a flat screen TV, I had just put in recently, 152 inches complete with the 4k by 2k resolution and 3D support, of course I know my TV tech, what other tech would I know, I know my bed too, it's 180cm wide and 200cm long, that's big and it had to be for what I wanted to do. and a mini bar and a mini study, and a shelf with a large collection of books. " you like to read?", Jason asked when he saw me glance at the bookshelf. I shrugged, "a hobby, don't you like to read?"

"sure, but I'm more into my drawings. They are my life and joy, next to Cailen."

I looked at the boy hiding behind his dad, it was strange not having him say a million things at once, "how about you, Cailen? Do you like drawing? You mademe a picture remember?"

"then you hurt daddy.", he said in a small voice that made my heart ache. "Cailen..."

"Cailen, "Jason broke in bending down to face his son, "Blaine made a mistake, he won't hurt you." Cailen didn't reply for a while, then he suddenly began to cry, "daddy, I want to go home, I hate him!!!"

Jason looked at lost for words, "baby..."

"why don't you guys go to the pool?", I offered, "it's really nice and warm."

"the weather is freezing, how can the pool be okay?", Cailen asked, I nearly a smiled, I.knew he couldn't resist being a smart ass, he was to much like Jason. "well, Cailen, I have an indoor pool and a hot tub, have you ever been in a hot tub?"

Cailen shook his head, he still had tears on his face but he was no longer crying.

"I've been in a pool but I haven't been in a hot tub."

"do you want to?", he nodded eagerly, "well if you promise to stop crying, you can visit my hot tub."

The little boy wiped his tears with the back of his hand, "but daddy has to come or I won't go."

Oh well, I really hadn't expected him to just forgive me because I handed him the chance to be in a hot tub, really, if it was one of my girlfriends, I'd hand her a car and all would be forgiven, "ok, I'll go down to the pool, you and your daddy can come later."

I headed for the door but Jason stopped me, "wait, how will we know where to find you and where's your swimming trunks?"

"oh, I usually leave a pair in the tub area in case I need one and there's a guard outside, he'll show you the way to the tub."

I walked out and instructed James to show them to the tub.

I had just settled into the tub when the door opened and Jason walked in carrying Cailen with him and his aunt behind them, really? What did she think I'd do? Drown them? Jason had a bath robe on his body, gay guys, wasn't I the one meant to be hiding my body. He dropped Cailen into the water gently as far away from me as possible, Stevie just stood there in a very conservative one piece suit, normally I'd be dying to see what was under it but strangely I found my eyes glued to Jason, I was curious to see what was under. He looked like he felt awkward as he slowly peeled off the robe, he did it ever so slowly, I liked to see my girlfriends unveil their body but none of them had ever done it as good as Jason was doing it now, I closed my eyes, what was wrong with me? That was a very gay thing to think. I didn't open then until I felt the water move indicating Jason had gotten in, I opened it, he was immersed in the water but not like Cailen who was struggling to stay above water so Jason lifted him into his lap.

"won't you come in?", I asked Mrs Kaine.

"no, I'll stay here and do this puzzle, she lifted up a puzzle in her hands, it was of the planet earth, I shrugged so she sat on the floor and poured out what seemed like millions of puzzles on the ground. The entire clan was mad, I decided.

The first moments in the tub was awkward but soon enough, Cailen was relaxing and talking, not to me but at least he was relaxed around me, that was something, eventually he and Jason were splashing in the water and laughing, something about it made my heart clench, I had never had that with my father, "ew, I'm all wrinkled."Cailen said holding out his palms.

"let me see.", Jason took his tiny palms in his, "why don't you go and play withaunt Stevie for a while."

"ok.", Jason helped him out and he ran to Mrs Kaine joining her on the floor and I was left with Jason. I looked at him and he looked away, was he avoiding me?

"wow, I'm insulted." I confessed.

He looked up at me, "why? Did I do something?"

"not do something is more like it, I must confess I thought you'd be checking me out by now or jumping my bones, after all look at all of this.", I gestured to my muscles that I had spent years developing.

Jason smiled, "just because I'm gay and you've got muscles doesn't mean I have to eye rape you, I do have standards."

"maybe.", I nodded, "or it could be that you're scared." Was I really flirting with the guy?

"I'm not scared.", Jason said but something in his voice said he was lying. "prove it." I challenged not entirely sure where I was headed with this but I couldn't back out now.

Jason's POV

I stared at Blaine confused and my heart was racing and I could feel the heat crawling up my cheeks, "what do you mean prove it?"

"come over here and I'll show you how."

I shook my head, "that doesn't seem like a very good idea."

"scared?"

"no.", I lied.

"prove it, come over here.", he smirked, I was my father's son after all, I.couldn't run from a challenge so I swam over to his side of the pool.

"closer.", he commanded, I was nut a coward and I wasn't scared of him so I compiled, "closer.", I obeyed, closer and closer until we were so close, I could feel the heat of his body, what were we doing?

"now, touch me.", I looked up at him, "to prove I won't bite.", he explained.

He did have a beautiful body and I had noticed, I slowly reached out and placed a palm on his chest, it was rock hard, "see, I didn't bite."

I nodded looking up at him, he placed his hand over mine, why did it feel ten times hotter in here? Why was his face getting close? Why couldn't I move? It was like I was in a trance, then his phone which he placed next to him on the tub rang and we both looked at it; Dahlia.

"you should take that."

I turned around and swam out, what was I thinking he'd suddenly realise he was gay and fall for me? real life doesn't work that way, I thought as I walked over to aunt Stevie and Cailen, luckily they were bent over and piecing the puzzle together or were pretending not to notice, a few minutes later, Blaine left the tub and walked out. Real life sucked.

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

Author's Note: so, real life fucked the romance, as terrible as that is, it is also reality, straight guys don't just turn gay at least not in one day. That's Altair, Jasmine is coming into the story pretty soon. It's a Young-Alessandro feast. Enjoy
