Jay x Daniel - You Came With the Spring

Chapter 17: new recruits (Sian)

Daniel looked good, plainest way to say it. Daniel always looked good: hair slicked back with sweat during practice, sweat soaked through his shirt, sweat glossed across his skin in the sauna. . . Sweat, sweat, sweat.

Damn it. Sian wanted to push Daniel down and lick that sweat off of him.

Sian was good at noticing things and never missed his friends lingering eyes on the other boys. Though anyone with half a brain would notice, Daniel was never good at hiding things. What made Sian hyperaware though, was that his friend's lingering eyes sometimes wandered over to him. Those deep brown eyes settling over an exposed shoulder or a heaving chest. But most recently Daniel had openly stared at his crotch.

Who, the hell, is that obvious? It's like he's asking for a good fuck, from anyone. It was so distastefully obvious that Sian vowed to make it a slow burn, to tease and flirt until Daniel could only look at him.

Sian pushed his light hair away from his face, looking at Daniel's lax body slumped in his seat. Relaxed and ready for the taking.

Before the boy could make a move, there was a little commotion, and a batch of new trainees filed into the sauna. If not for their unfamiliar faces, their wide eyes and scrawny bodies were a telltale sign of new recruitment. They're going to get whipped into shape real fast.

With a thoughtful hum, Sian turns to make a remark, but sees Daniel still from shock. The brunette leans forward, lips parted in a hushed disbelief and eyebrows flung upward. . . Looking at one of the recruits.

"Jay. . . ?" Daniel whispers painfully.

Sian frowns deeply, following his friends gaze.

A blonde stands out amongst the boys, his body setting him apart from the others. His lips are curled into a feral grin, displaying beautiful white teeth. He sees Daniel's stare and tilts his head up in notice, grin widening. He pushes his blonde hair away, getting it out of way of his eyes.

And the spell is broken.

Daniel releases a breath and turns away, almost bitterly.

"Um," Sian laughs uncomfortably, frowning, "Do you know him?"

"I thought I did," Daniel bites his lip.

The action catches Sian's eye. "What do you mean?"

"I thought he was someone else. Doesn't matter." Daniel clears his throat, his face a deep red. He starts fanning at himself, seemingly constricted. "I have to go," he whispers.

Daniel stands abruptly, his languid form catching the attention of everyone in the room. His body swirls with heat, and more than one appreciative sigh is released.

Daniel is stunning, and it'd be downright sinful if not for the towel covering his lower body. Gazes trail him when he pushes past the trainees, his body grazing against the blonde's as he goes out the doorway.

Sian didn't miss the interest in the blonde's expression.

Of course the newbie wanted Daniel now.
