Can opened his eyes to a sleeping Tin and looked at the time.
11 p.m.
He looked back at the boy who was inches away from his face and admired his sharp jawline and his handsome face, with plump lips and fierce eyebrows and eye shape. He also admired Tin's bare shoulders and the way the dim light bounced off of his pale flawless skin. Can blushed remembering last night events and shook his head to snap out of it.
Can knew Tin was truly a magnificent creature. No one could have such a handsome face and be smart and rich. He was blessed for his own good and here Can was, in love with him.
Of course, it would never be official because Tin had a girlfriend, and he wouldn't break up with her. Frustrating yes, but the occasional sex was fine for Can because this way, they can at least bond. Not wanting to cry, Can decided it was time to go home.
Careful not to make any sudden movement, he crept out of bed quietly and changed into his clothes. He searched for his house-keys and wallet, creeping towards the door silently. He was slipping his shoes on and was about to walk out the door when-
" You're not staying over?"
Tin sat upright on the bed and stretched his arms. He then folded his arms and raised his eyebrows, " So? Are you staying over?"
Can shook his head," You know I don't feel comfortable staying over."
Tin frowned and got out of bed, walking towards Can. Can's face turned into that of a shade of a ripen apple as he saw all of Tin's glory except his 'area' was covered by boxers. Can noticed Tin was still stalking towards him so he backed up until he was against the door.
He tried to quickly open the door and get out, but Tin wrapped one of his arms around Can's waist and the other arm against the door.
They were silent for a while with Can looking down at their feet while Tin was intensely gazing at Can. Tin took his arm off Can's waist and used it to raise his chin toward Tin. Their eyes met and Can could see the hurt and passion Tin had for him and Tin could see the uncertainty in Can's eyes.
Can snapped his attention to the situation and pushed Tin back a bit harsh, making him stumble back a few feet," Respect my decision, Tin."
Tin growled, sending Can shivers and he became afraid of what would happen if he stayed any longer. So he once again tried to open the door to get out, only to be blocked by Tin again.
" Why?"
Tin's deep voice asked him. Can knew he was trying to seduce him so he looked away, acting as if he didn't hear anything.
" Why can't you stay over? You like me and I like you. When will we be comfortable with each other?"
Listening to Tin talk, Can turned his head and frowned at Tin.
" You're always like this. You never stay with me. Do you not like me, Can?''
Can frowned even more and he could feel a bit of anger igniting inside him.
" You just want my money right? You never cared."
Can stomped toward Tin and slapped his face. Tin held his face, his face shocked at the stinging pain. He was about to question why the boy had done this when he looked at Can.
Can had his eyes filled with tears and his facial expression showed hatred and disappointment. Tin became shocked and questioned," C-can?"
" Shut up. Shut up, shut up, shut up."
Can began to quietly sob," I like you, Tin. More than you can imagine. But how do you think I feel when you fuck me every night and go to Prae every day. I feel like shit because you're cheating on her and fucking me and my feelings."
Tin tried hugging Can but he backed away. Tin drooped his shoulders down," I like you, Can. I don't know how many times I have to say it to you. But I like you. Prae doesn't matter to me. Please, I'm sorry for fighting about this issue. Please don't be mad."
Can wiped his tears and glared at Tin," Prae doesn't matter to you? You are a lowlife. You want both things but in life you have to decide one partner. I'm not forcing you to choose me. You can choose Prae, but I rather know now because I wanna stop this fuck meet thing. I'll give you till morning. Now go to sleep, I'll be going."
And with that, Can left Tin standing in the doorway. Can made his way down to the curb and called for a taxi. He looked back at Tin, who was watching him, and quickly glanced away. Getting in the cab, he gave the driver the address.
On the way, Can closed his eyes, feeling like he was free. At least for now, because he would have to deal with this in the morning. Was he hoping for Tin to choose him? Yes. But he didn't want to force him. Whatever his decision was, Can respected it.
When arriving at home and paying for the taxi, Can quickly went inside his room and slept the night away, trying to feel nonchalant about the upcoming drama when it was morning time.
