Barely Legal. [Milex]

Mardy Bum

My eyes were almost tired of looking around the place, not enough to stop though. Every inch of it was still full of surprises. It was so different from what I expected. It was incredible. Everything at the moment was incredible.

The walls were all white and the furniture was brown and very simple, all of them were full of vinyls and records, it looked like we were even more alike than I thought. He had a very big black leather couch that I fell in love with inmediatly and a black carpet at the center of the room. But what caught my attention the most were the three guitars at the corner of the room, one acustic and two electric, all three of them surrounded by music sheets. It was like being in a rockstar's house and I'm pretty sure I was.

At the moment he was finding me some clothes, a few of mine were really wet, so maybe I had the time to set free the curious little boy inside me. I got slowly closer to the corner of the room, bending over a little, and played silently with the strings of the acustic. I didn't want to get caught, maybe they were too precious for him but I couldn't help myself.

"You can play'em if you want." Alex said nicely from behind, making me jump back and fall on my bum. He chuckled.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to- uh... I was just-" I stuttered.
He waved his hands in a funny way, making me smile. "It's okay my dear, I don't mind a little curiosity from you." Thank God. He walked closer and handed me a dry sweater, "Here." I grabbed it and stood up, muttering a little thank you before taking off my jumper and putting on his clothes. I got lost on the smell of the fabric, it smelled just like him.

"Are you too cold? I can make coffee or something." He asked scratching his cheek and looking me through some hair that was falling on his face. I impulsively reached over before realizing what I was doing and tucked it behind his ear, it didn't stay there but it didn't fell on his face again. He grinned at me and I giggled shyly.
"Sorry, yeah, I would like that." He tapped my arm once, still smiling, and left me -once again- standing in the middle of the room. I sat on the couch and pulled my legs close to my chest, enjoying the moment, enjoying his scent coming from the sweater, enjoying the view of his apparment, enjoying the sounds he was making in the kitchen. I felt like I belonged there.

After a few minutes, who seemed infinite without him, Alex came back with two mugs of coffee. He sat next to me and handed me one, "Here you go." I grabbed it carefully from his hand trying not to burn myself, and as our fingers brushed a rush of energy ran through my body, making me hold my breath.

Trying to go back to normal, I took a sip at the same time as him, "Thanks." He winked as he took another long sip and left his mug on the small table in front of us. I did the same.

"So Miles..." He started, for a moment I forgot he brought me here because he wanted to talk.

I didn't say anything, I just looked at him without blinking, I was hoping he would take that as a keep talking. And he did. "Come on."

I blinked rapidly at his words, I was still confused. "Come one what?" I said like the biggest dickhead there'll ever be.

He laughed gently and rested his elbow on the back of the couch, resting his head on his hand, "You came here, you followed me, to tell me you love me, right?" I nodded quickly. "But you didn't say why... you didn't say what makes you love me, since when do you love me? what made you follow me today to tell me this?" He was talking like a teacher, like he was still in character. I swallowed nervously and took a deep breath, trying my best not to stutter.

"Okay, well, I- I love you because, I mean, you're you. You're so passionate, smart.. Y-you like music as much as I do. You see the world in such a different way. You're not affraid of expressing your opinions, and you're so secure about your words and yourself..." I stayed silent and he didn't say anything, just listened. "And you're so damn handsome, I- I just look at you, your hair, your eyes are so deep I can see the whole universe... and y-you look so good when you wear tight suits, please do it everyday." I said blushing and he giggled, he was also blushing.
