seis

corbyn was in the library working when daniel called him again. the blonde'd managed to drown out everything else as he focused on writing and research for several hours, so he blinked in surprise when he glanced down at his phone and realized it was already after six.

"hey," daniel said when corbyn picked up. "do you want to do something for dinner? i'm not really in the mood for this banquet."

"i'd better not. i'm getting some good work done." corbyn heard daniel sigh, but daniel didn't complain, which was a relief.

"all right. i guess i'll go to the boring banquet." said the blue eyed boy.

"everything else okay?" asked corbyn worried.

"yeah. i'd just rather be with you." answered daniel.

then blonde couldn't help but smile, oddly touched by daniel's grumbled words. "me too."

"you say that, but when i give you a chance to be with me, you say you need to work."

daniel was kinda mad, when he though about a life with corbyn he edidn't expect this. he wanted corbyn to open up to him, he wanted to be with him. but the only thing corbyn show him was sex and daniel wanted more than that.

the young one was starting to doubt about the wedding.

"i really do need to work. i'll be back this evening. there's still my excessive horniness to address." to corbyn's surprise, daniel didn't laugh.

"i wasn't really talking about sex tonight. i just want to be with you." said daniel serious.

corbyn had no idea what to say to that and felt rather awkward, too much emotion leaving him briefly paralyzed.

"corbs?" daniel called his name after the quiet silence.

"yeah," he managed to say. "i want to be with you too."

"then why aren't you?"

corbyn blinked, having thought the conversation was ending and not expecting the blunt question. "what?"

daniel knew perfectly that corbyn had heard him but he repited it."if you want to be with me, then why aren't you?"

"i told you—"

"i know what you told me, but i just can't believe that work is so urgent. you have months until your dissertation is due. you've been in greece for six weeks, and you haven't even given yourself a day to recover. if you don't want to spend time with me, i'd rather you just say it because i'm calling off this wedding."

"what the hell are you talking about? daniel you better stop."

"nothing." daniel sounded subdued. a little sad. "you seem like you're..."

"like i'm what?" corbyn's back stiffened slightly as he grew immediately defensive.

"i don't know. like you're avoiding me."

"that's ridiculous. we had sex two nights ago. we had sex yesterday morning. we had lunch today and then had sex again. how exactly am i avoiding you?" his voice was sharper than it should have been because he knew daniel was right.
