Sweetness

Chapter 44

Ok, he might be wrong. Beam does get mad sometimes.

After he spend more times with Beam as his lover, Forth started to be able to understand his mood better. When tired, he's pliant. When sleepy, he's clingy. When horny... well let's just say Beam got that gaze which burned his veins hot. Their make out sessions made both of  them hot and bothered but they hadn't cross that stage yet.

Surprisingly, Beam turned into stone when mad. Because he's silent weepy drunk, Firth tought that he will be loud when he's mad. But no. Beam could stay silent for a long time but what's cute about it were the fact that Beam would pouted or asked for a snuggle. He's mad but he won't keep the distance.

Forth threw a glance at Beam.

Tonight, he seemed irked about something tonight. Beam were silent beside him in the car. Tonight they had another banquet, another grand opening. The food were good, the ambience were great. No casualty what so ever as far as he knew (no clingy women or flirty men) so why Beam's face pulled so tight?

"Beam, I'm not your driver, you know."

Forth's aloof words made a blush raised in Beam's cheekbones. He did something that slightly surprised Forth. Beam glared at him. Like full frontal glare, not the mock-glare he usually do to tease Forth. What's happening here? Beam's lipped got thinned. Now Beam looked mad. And somewhat sad.

"Because if I talk, I'll be angry. If I had nothing kind to stay, it's better if I stay silent."

Now Forth got a little irked himself. He turned the sign then stopped the car at the next rest area along the highway and turned off the machine. He opened his seatbelt and turned his head to face Beam fully. Beam didn't face him like Forth hoped. Forth opened Beam's seatbelt and gently grabbed his chin. Beam still didn't want to meet his eyes. Forth didn't loose his grab.

"Let's just play twenty questions, ok Bee? Actually I already waiting for you to get mad about something for sometime. You were way too sweet and too obedient most of the time. Like you were repressed half of your temper when you were around me. Did you hear something?"

As Beam bit his lip, that mean yes.

"Did you know what they talked about? Did they insult you?"

Beam gave a scoff at hearing that. So yes, Beam knew what they were talking about but they didn't insult him. Ok, let's move on.

"Did they insult me?"

That snapped Beam's head up and Forth could see how angry Beam were about it. Forth only chuckled at realizing that. Beam didn't seem to accept his reaction..no one should go around insulting other people; that's rude.

"Someone said some very rude slurs about you and P'Tee. Saying you both were cheap faggots and both of you slept around to secure business deals. I had to restraint myself from throwing expletives at that man. And guess who I saw with that rude man? A tipsy Prink who agreed with whatever that man said. Then she made crude comments about your virtue. She didn't even know you! I'm glad Pha weren't attracted to her at all."

Ah, that kind of slurs. Forth and his mentor never took for a grain anything that came out from those kind of drunk slurs. Weak dog barked the loudest. Maybe that man were one of P'Tee revenge's victim.

So he were wrong. Beam weren't mad at him. Beam were mad for him. That gave Forth an excuse to give gentle careess at Beam's chin. Beam glared at him, still seemed mad about it.

"And why the hell you were not angry at hearing this? Were you not insulted? It's your and P'Tee's credibility that being mocked in public!"

Forth huffed at hearing this. Sometimes he forgot how young Beam really were. Their twelve years age gap now were blatantly showing.

"Bee, listened to yourself. If I give that kind of drunk slurs a penny for my mind, I'll never get rich because I never care. I thought you already knew me quite well. But it's different with P'Tee. He never replied it with words but those kind of slurs didn't go unpunished. P'Tee always took a delight at avenged us. And his method were crueler."

Beam still looked miffed about it.

"It's because I knew you that I'm getting angry on your behalf. That's why I felt insulted, too. You are a hardworker, so does P'Tee. Both of you were good people; you don't deserve that kind of attitude, full stop. It's great then if P'Tee really had his revenges, no matter what he chose to do. Demeaning someone that way is not right."

Beam locked his eyes with Forth's.

"Satisfied, now?"

Forth didn't let go of his chin. In fact, he leaned closer. "Not so much."

Honestly speaking, Beam could felt Forth's smile on his lips this time. That irked him. Why the hell this man kissed him while smiling? Forth kept giving him pecks; on his lips, on his cheeks, on his nose, on his forehead. This changed Beam's mood little by little.  The hand that caught his chin moved to craddle his head. By the time Forth sealed his lips against him once again, Beam responded with fevor. Their kisses always melt his knees so Beam kinda glad they were seating this time.

A loud booming sounds from the passing car's muffler shocked both of them.

The car windows were fogged. Forth had to count to ten before he could let Beam moved from his embrace. My, Beam looked so kissable right now. His cheeks flushed, his lips so red and puffy. His pupils fully dilated. Forth knew a horny Beam when he saw one and he had to control himself to move them from the street. Beam deserved better place to be devour.

"Wanna stay over tonight?"

Beam bit his lower lip and nod.
