Shadow Of The Day

But you're not giving me a chance

A/N: Hello all lovelies! How are you today? Here's another chapter and oopsies, lol.

-------

When Mike woke up the next day he anticipated that he would be alone before he opened his eyes. But Rob was still there. To his disappointment, they had fallen asleep clothes on. But he did enjoy the arm around his waist and the closeness cause of his tiny bed. But the problem was that based on their previous encounters he guessed that this wasn't what Rob did normally. Or that they would have sex. Something was still keeping Rob from not letting go and Mike was sure it was Kaden who really seemed to really earn his nickname.

"Hey", he said when the other shifted and opened his eyes.

"Hey", Rob answered frowning. He knew where he was. And he also knew he shouldn't have stayed the night. Even if nothing happened. It wouldn't matter.

"So. What now?" the half Asian asked.

"I don't have any answers for you", Rob sighed.

"So you always say. But I would still like you to try", Mike mumbled as the other sat up.

Heavy silence and a groan followed. "You need to go and see Brad and how..."

Mike knew he was about to run and he wasn't going to have it. Not again. Quickly he had pulled the other on his back on the bed and with a rather agile move jumped on him. Rob had time only for a gasp before the lips were on his. Mike didn't really even know what he was doing. It wasn't like a kiss could change Rob's mind. And after all, he knew nothing that went through his head. But for once Rob let him do it, without objecting. But the moment was gone when he dug his hand under Rob's shirt wanting to feel the skin under his fingers. The other moaned first but then the change was so sudden that Mike was startled. Rob flipped him on his back and squirmed away from him and the bed.

"I need to go", he mumbled straightening his shirt. An hour here and there wouldn't change a thing either, but he knew that he had crossed already many lines and he would rather face the consequences sooner than later.

"I see. So... You're in trouble cause you stayed for the night?" and for once Mike read him just perfectly.

"It's really not that simple. Sounds like it, but it's not", the other sighed.

"Right", Mike muttered. Rob certainly was not simple but he would have still appreciated some explanations. Cause even now Rob was staring him in a way that told him that he didn't want to go. "So what do I do then?"

Rob stared at him chewing his lip. He wanted so much but couldn't have any of it. "Go see your friend. And then get me if there are issues. But we'll see on Friday again. Right?"

And now it wasn't a command but a plea. Mike nodded, trying to ignore all the emotions that were fighting the sense. "Yeah. Should... uhm... I guess I just have to pretend the guy wasn't at the house?"

"Kaden probably knows about it already. There's nothing he doesn't see. Even if I tried to cover for Brandon's ass. But don't worry, it's Brandon that will pay for it. His fault anyway. He did know about the batches and he has done it long enough to know what will happen if he messes up."

"What does that mean then to him?" Mike swallowed weirded out that there was some guy who just disposed of it all. They were humans after all. This world was such a contrast to his own. And he had sunken so deep there that he was afraid that he couldn't get out in time.
