The Price Of Obsession (Complete)

Lofty Expectation

Going out with Tharn and Type that night had been a great idea, it set a new foundation for their relationship.

While Techno had only been able to hold his hand for five seconds the first time and twenty the second, it was a vast improvement. And that was enough to make Champ happy.

Now they have been going on weekly date nights for the last two months. Every Friday and Saturday they do something together, from cooking, to walks and even dinner together at a restaurant.

Champ was so surprised when Techno suggested that date restaurant date. But he quickly agreeded, as he didn't care what they did as long as Techno was with him.

Lately it's been hard on them more as Champ was busy with his internship and his graduation date looming, only three months to go.

Per his agreement with his parents he applied for his master's degree at the same college, only it was in Business as that was what his parents wanted.

Finally it was spring break, and he had a whole two weeks off. His parents wanted him to come home but he could not leave Techno alone.

Techno still had therapy for another week, then a week off as his doctor was going on vacation.

After Speaking to Techno, they decided to both go to Champ's home as Techno felt guilty that Champ was missing out on alot to keep him company.

Champ was sitting on the couch, the friday night after break began watching a show when Techno walked out of his room with a sheet of paper.

"Champ"

Champ paused his show and looked at Techno.

"Yes"

Techno took a deep breath and passed Champ the sheet of paper.

"Champ, for the next two weeks I want us to do these things I have listed. It's like a daily affirmation, but instead its daily dates and intimacy stuff" stated Techno, while his face turned bright red.

"Daily dates? Intimacy stuff?" repeated Champ while looking at the list.

On that list were simple things as well as one big complication. Techno had written it in red ink and also highlighted it in yellow.

***Sleep in the same bed***

"Techno, we don't have to sleep in the same bed. I know you won't be able to sleep and we have our own rooms" Champ assured Techo

But Techno just shakes his head at him and said.

"Yes, we do. Where would I sleep at your parents home?"

Champ eyes opened wide, when he realized Techno was right. Oh, crap he could not asked for Techno to sleep in the guestroom. After all his parents knew that he and Techno were dating.

Since it was another week before they went to Champ's home, they made plans on how to work the sleeping arrangement as well as what to do on their dates.

Techno told Champ to add some things to the list as this was for two weeks beginning the coming sunday night. Champ ask for the night to think about it as he wanted to put the extra effort into this plan.

"Champ, I also want you to sleep in my room starting tonight" said Techno

Champ turned to look at Techno saying nothing but seeing the nervousness on the other man's face.

"Ok, but I will bring in the small roll out bed and sleep on it tonight. We have 8 days before we have to be at my parents, let's do this slow".

Techno nodded his head, stood up and started to walk back into his room.

"Techno, what do you want for dinner tonight"?

Techno stopped and thought for a while.

"Pizza" he replied then continued into his room.

Champ sat there grinning like a fool, because they have not had pizza in months and Techno knew Pizza was one of Champ's favorite thing to eat.

But then Champ lost his smile, pizza is what they eat that night. Would Techno be able to eat it? Or will this bring fresh nightmares?

Making a decision he called for the pizza, only he didnt order the usual. He ordered something Techno always wanted to try but he never did. He pulled out his phone and dialed pizza place.

" Sawadikap, I will like a large Hawaiian Pizza, with extra cheese and two cokes please. For delivery, you should have my address on file".

As Champ hung up the phone, he can feel his stomach starting to revolt already. Because gross what sane person eats pineapple on pizza "barf".

Looking at Techno's door he thinks to himself, the things we do for love. "Shudder".
