Mediterranean Kiss ~ Taeten

To Athens

Taeyong woke the next morning to a good morning kiss on the cheek from Ten. "Rise and shine." He hummed happily.

"What's the time?" Taeyong asked, yawning and rubbing his eyes. Ten was already dressed in his work uniform.

Ten smiled down at him and flicked a strand of hair away from his face. "It's 6:30. I'd love to stay in bed with you for longer but I have to go to work. I really enjoyed last night by the way." Ten replied. He gave Taeyong a cheeky wink and placed his lips on Taeyong's in a gentle kiss.

"Me too." Taeyong replied, kissing him back affectionately. "I'll see you tonight?"

"Yes you will. Enjoy Athens today!" Ten blew him a kiss as he went out the door.

Taeyong lay back in his bed and threw the sheets over his head. Although Mark had interrupted them last night, Ten's arousal couldn't be extinguished, and he had soon continued where he left off once Mark had left. Taeyong felt his cheeks flush red at the memory of last night.

As he rolled over in bed Taeyong tried to figure out how he was feeling about his situation. Today was going to be an interesting day. No doubt Mark had already told Johnny about what he had walked in on last night. Taeyong was sure his friends would have plenty of questions for him, however, thinking about it, he actually felt relieved that everything was out in the open now. He no longer had to hide the way he felt about Ten, and he knew Ten was happy about that too.

Taeyong reached out and felt around for his phone on the bedside table. After checking the time, he decided he might as well get up and have a shower.

Twenty minutes later he was showered and had just finished blow-drying his hair when he heard a knock on the door. He opened it to find Johnny waiting for him.

"Hey Johnny." Taeyong greeted him with a smile.

Johnny returned his smile. "Hey. Are you up for some breakfast before we go to Athens?" Johnny asked.

"Yeah sure." He grabbed his phone, sunglasses and wallet and slipped his sneakers on before shutting his cabin door behind him.

"Where's Mark?" Taeyong asked as they walked down the long hallway.

"Uh, he's already at the buffet." Johnny replied, looking at him from the corner of his eye.

Taeyong nodded. Of course, Mark being Mark, he was probably still feeling embarrassed about last night. Only sitting down with him and talking about what happened would get him back to his old usual self, but Taeyong wasn't too sure when would be the right time to do that.

"So I'm guessing he told you then?" Taeyong asked.

Johnny couldn't stop himself from smiling. "Yeah, he did." He slapped Taeyong lightly on his shoulder and grinned. "I mean, I could tell you and Ten were close, but..." He trailed off as he looked at Taeyong and raised his eyebrows.

"What's that face for?" Taeyong asked, grinning back at him.

"Nothing man, I'm just happy for you, that's all." Johnny replied, slinging an arm around his shoulders. "You should have seen Mark's face though. When he came running back into our cabin, he was so flustered and he kept swearing." Johnny laughed and he recounted what happened.

"Oh I did see his face, right before he walked into the wall and ran out of my room!" Taeyong replied.

"Really? Classic!" Johnny clapped his hands together in approval. "Did he also interrupt you two at the pool as well then?"

Taeyong bit his lip and smiled. "Yeah."

"That boy, he really is something else." Johnny sighed happily.

After filling their plates with food at the breakfast buffet, Johnny and Taeyong sat down next to Mark, who was quietly nibbling on a hashbrown.

"Morning." Taeyong greeted him as he sat down.

"Morning." Mark mumbled with his mouth full. He kept his eyes on his food.

As they ate their breakfast the three friends discussed their plans for the day.

"So how are we going to get to Athens? The port we're at is Piraeus right?" Johnny asked.

"Aren't there tourist buses going to and from the ship?" Mark piped up as he tried to get some scrambled egg on his fork.

Taeyong gleefully stabbed his fork into a cube of watermelon before answering him. "Na, you had to go and buy tickets for them last night, as there were only limited seats available." He replied.

"Well, we could always just catch a taxi there instead." Johnny added. He pulled out his phone and brought up a map. He placed his phone down on the table so Taeyong could see. "Look, Athens is only about a 30 minute drive away from where we are in Piraeus. If we head to the port terminal we should easily be able to find a taxi."

"Cool, let's just do that." Taeyong agreed.

Mark looked up then and noticed them both staring at him. "Sounds good." He agreed.
