Taking Up For Him

This video was a vine titled When Your Crush Touches You....just in case you wanted to know.

*P.O.V. Nathan*

   "Excuse me Kai?" I ask as I walk into his room while he was practicing the guitar.

   "Yeah Nathan?" He turns around on his bed to look at me. My urge to pounce on him is strong since he's just hanging out on his bed in only his underwear (a pair of boxers) and a loose, elbow length shirt. He makes things so difficult!

   Shaking my head quickly to get focused on the task at hand, I remember what I wanted to tell him. "I'm having important clients come over for dinner and I wanted to tell you to please dress as formal as possible."

   "Does that mean a tie?"

   "If you can, a plain one would be nice."

   "Are you sure?" He asks confused. I nod then take my leave to let him continue what he was doing.

~Timeskip~

   It is time for dinner and I await at the foyer for my guest to come and for Kai to come down stairs. Speaking of, down came Kai in smooth black pants; a red, short-sleeved button up; and a...plane tie? He's wearing a black tie with little blue airplanes dotting it. "Kai?" He looks over to me. "What are you wearing?"

   "The most formal wear I have, just like you said." As cute as he looks it that outfit and the adorable smile he gave me as he responded, I can't just ignore the fact that he's wearing a plane tie.

   "Your tie...?"

   "What about it? You said that a plane tie so I got one."

   Oh my god...he took me literally and chose the word 'plane' instead of 'plain'...
   "That is true, but I meant plain as in ordinary, not plane as in miniature airplanes." He gets a look of realization on his face and also looks embarrassed. So cute... but that doesn't change the fact of the tie he's wearing. "I like the tie personally, but I don't think it's appropriate for my clients arrival. Can you go chang-" My sentence is cut short by a knock on the door and one of my men opening it. I quickly straighten myself out and Kai does the same the best he can. "Greetings Mr. Blanc. It's an honor to have you here."

   "Bonjour, mes amis. L'honneur est pour moi." He comes up to me and we do the cheek motion. "Who might this boy be?" His french accent as thick as can be.

   "Mr. Blanc, meet my sidekick Phaze 2 - or rather Mr. Dower."

   Kai shuffles his way up to Mr. Blanc and shakes his hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you Sir."

   I can tell that Mr. Blanc is forcing a smile as he shakes Kai's hand and his gaze is moving up and down to take in Kai's appearance. All Blanc does is nod briefly and turns quickly back to me so he can get Kai out of his sight. "Will Mr. Dower be joining us for dinner?" I nod and then gesture the way to the dinning room for us to begin. We each take our seat, me at the head of the table, Kai to my right, and Blanc to my left.

   This should be....fun...

~Small Timeskip~

   We all just finished up our dessert and I got to say....I am getting completely fed up tonight. Mr. Blanc is just on the edge. He keeps giving Kai terrible looks, shutting down everyone of Kai's praises, and refuses to listen to him.
   Meanwhile, Kai keeps trying to better understand what Blanc and I do, keeps trying to compliment Blanc, and has been on the best behavior I've ever seen him on. I am...not okay.

   "So Bryers, how about while we speak of private matters, you send your boy here to do something useful like tidy something up or what of it."

   Before I could say anything, Blanc and I look over to Kai as we hear a chair move back. Kai bows his head and says, "Of course Mr. Blanc. I'll leave you two alone and will not interfere with either of you again," then takes his leave. On the inside I'm fuming but on the outside, I'm as calm as a sleeping dog.

   "Ah Bryers! It's great to finally get to speak to you myself. Now about the contract."

   I snap my fingers and two servants of mine come and take our plates and silverware, along with filling my glass but not Blanc's. I hold the cup in one hand as I rise and walk back to the foyer and Blanc is quick to follow my footsteps. I open the door and Blanc steps out thinking I'm going to follow. When he turns around to find my not moving, he walks back to come inside but I instantly stop him by throwing my drink in his face. Blanc conjures a shocked expression and is ready to scream at me but is stopped in the tracks again as I raise a hand to quiet him and speak for myself. "Now now now Mr. Blanc. I will consider our contract terminated."

   "Why would you risk such a great deal?!" His face showing nothing but anger.

   "The way you acted at dinner tonight was unacceptable and I don't want to deal with someone with the maturity you have."

   "I'll rui-"

   "Don't even say you'll ruin me," I cut him off. "I have much more power than you and will continue to get more clients. So either you and me do no more business or in a while we can talk again and see if your maturity has improved. For now though. Bye." I than slammed the door in his face.

   With my eyes shut, I turn around and my hands are behind my back. Suddenly though, I feel small arms trying to reach all the way around me and look down to see Kai hugging me. "You didn't have to do that but thanks for taking up for me. That guy was a real asshole." Just as I try to talk, I feel my tie get tugged down and lips placed on my cheek. My face goes red as Kai says, "All that food really got me tired. See ya later Nathan! Goodnight!" I can't speak or move my gaze off of the certain spot on a floor it's fixed on.

   I hear his door shut and hold my hand on my cheek with a dumbfound face. I walk up to my room in a daze and change my clothes. As I lay in bed, it then clicks in as to why I'm holding my cheek and I smile ear-to-ear. Oh. MY. GOD! HE KISSED ME!!!
   I begin to sit up and jump up and down on my bed as a child would. As I jump, I silently celebrate my victory. That's when I hear a knock on the door and stop. Without coming inside, a servant asks, "Sir are you alright? There is a lot of thumping in there."

   "Uh- Yes. I'm fine. Continue with your work." I straighten myself up and lay back down to try to sleep. It's hard to do so though because of how happy I am.
