Prettyboy, MD (ManXMan)

Chapter 17

"What are you having?" Dylan cocked an eyebrow as Adam lowered the menu to glance up at him. No matter how many times he looked at Adam, he still found his breath stolen away by those striking hazel eyes and that perfect wavy brown hair. Adam opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off by Dylan. "I swear to God if you get the Pad Thai again..."

"I'm getting the Pad Thai." Adam shot him a knowing glare, resting his elbow on the table as he casually ran his hand through his hair. "I'm a creature of habit."

"Why don't you try something else." Dylan rolled his eyes teasingly as Adam huffed, folding his arms over his chest childishly. "God you're literally such a child sometimes."

"I'm only like three years younger than you." Adam glared at him jokingly as Dylan reached over to ruffle his raven coloured hair.

"Okay, you're a twenty-six year old child." Dylan smirked at him as his gaze shifted to see a tall stranger standing next to their table.

"Nikolai!"Adam screeched excitedly as he hopped up to hug Nikolai tightly. Nikolai smiled at Adam, but shot Dylan and uncomfortable glare.

"Hey bud..." Nikolai said with an uncomfortable smile that he couldn't seem to get to stay on his face. "Dylan..." He nodded to Dylan as Adam stared between his boyfriend and Nikolai.

"You... two... Know each other?" Adam pointed his finger between the two men, with a confused smile creeping across his lips.

"Yeah..." Nikolai started as he shuffled uncomfortably, shifting this weight between his feet.

"Nikolai and I go way back." Dylan furrowed his brow as he smiled nonchalantly at Adam. "Eh, bud?"

"Y-yeah... B-but, h-how do you two know each other?" Nikolai stammered, his hands practically shaking.

"Oh! Shit! Sorry, I'm so stupid. Dylan is my boyfriend." Adam said as he reached across the table and held onto Dylan's hand.

Nikolai stared at their hands with an unsettled look on his face, his Adam's apple rising and falling as he gulped nervously. He quickly regained his composure after meeting eyes with Dylan, who was glaring daggers at him with narrowed eyes. Adam glanced between the two men with a glint of confusion in his eyes, but chose to ignore it.

"You two look happy." Nikolai said awkwardly as he watched Dylan's glare soften gradually. "I.. was going to the washroom... You two have a good night. I'll see you around." Nikolai sent Adam a polite grin, though his eyes told a completely different story. He was unsettled for whatever reason, and Adam could tell.

As Nikolai walked away from the table, Dylan cleared his throat and smiled naturally at Adam, as if that whole awkward ordeal with Nikolai hadn't just occurred.

"He... seemed..." Adam started, but was cut off by Dylan, glaring up at him with his piercing blue eyes.

"Fine. He was fine. That's Nik for you. Kid's been weird since university." Dylan brushed off the whole situation bluntly, staring blankly up into Adam's confused hazel eyes. "Shit I forgot to wash my hands, I'll be right back." Dylan said with a smile as Adam looked back down at his menu to decide what he was going to order.

Dylan walked nonchalantly to the back of the restaurant, periodically glancing back to make sure Adam wasn't following him. Only when he was out of sight from his boyfriend did he finally let out a frustrated huff, followed by a string of colourful curses. He stormed into the washroom, seeing Nikolai at one of the urinals. He checked each stall to make sure they were completely alone, before locking the washroom door and standing menacingly behind Nikolai. As Nikolai zipped up his pants and turned around, he practically screamed at the sight of an angry looking Dylan, glaring at him.
