When Time shifts

"You are staying in here." Austin warned his brother for the tenth time, earning a frustrated glare that he dismissed. 

"I'm tired of staying cooped up in here! I might have the immune system of an ox, but I want to hang with the other guys." Max complained as Austin carefully got himself to his feet. 

His brother had been helping him for the past two days, and he appreciated it, a lot, but he couldn't get that stupid kiss between him and Roh-Ahn out of his head. He didn't like the idea of him even seeing his boyfriend again, let alone hanging out with him. 

"I forgot how illogically jealous you get." His brother grumbled, crossing his arms over his chest as he inched backward toward the door. 

I wouldn't need to be jealous if you hadn't kissed him! 

"Just stay here for another ten damn minutes while I shower." He said, knowing darn well that his brother wouldn't, just to spite him. 

Sighing, he knew that he would just have to make himself relax... or drag his brother into the shower with him. 

Not something I want to do, or see. 

Hesitantly, he walked into the bathroom. Just to be sure, though, he peeked out a few times, getting a glare every glance. He's going to leave as soon as I turn on the water. To prove his point, he walked over to the shower and turned both nobs, setting the temperature, before quietly hurrying back to the door and looking out. 

"Come on, bro. I'm not some rapist. I don't want your boy and I'll stay in the damn room, but not if you are going to play peek-a-boo with me for twenty minutes instead of scrubbing your sweaty ass. Remember, that guy is waiting on the other side of this door." His brother said, gesturing over his shoulder to his closed bedroom door. 

Pursing his lips, Austin huffed but turned and actually went to shower. He tossed his clothes in seconds, and while he wanted to rush, he knew that he really didn't smell great, even though he did shower once or twice while sick. It wasn't enough. 

I want Roh-Ahn in my arms for the next week nonstop, so no smelling at all. He told himself with a grin as he scrubbed himself raw. 

When he finally got out, wrapped a towel around his waist, and looked out of the bathroom, his brother was gone. 

"Dammit." He growled as he tugged off his towel to lift to his head so that he could dry his hair. 

The sound of the door creaking open, then quietly clicking shut drew Austin's head up, his hands still mussing up his wet hair. "I told you to st-..." His words died on his tongue as he stared, wide-eyed, at Roh-Ahn, who was very intently staring back at him with a big smile on his face. 

God I missed seeing him all the time. 

He started walking toward him automatically, as if drawn by some invisible force, when he realized that he was completely flashing the poor guy. Austin quickly dropped his towel to hold in front of his crotch. He was still hot from his shower, but he knew that his face was burning for another reason right then. 

The smile never left Roh-Ahn's face as he started walking forward, though. Austin fidgeted, wanting to retreat, but made himself stay where he was until Roh-Ahn leaned up on his tip toes and wrapped his arms snugly around Austin's neck, then buried his face in the crook of it and inhaled deeply. 

"I've missed you." He mumbled against Austin's hot skin, making him shiver as he awkwardly held his towel between them in shaking hands.

They had showered together plenty of times when Roh-Ahn had needed a little extra help, but they had always worn swim trunks and Austin had stepped out whenever asked.
