Chasing the Sun

052

I felt like I could conquer the world after our intimate moment that night. Having the right person by my side with the whole universe being witness to our exchange of oaths, I knew there was nothing else I had to hide, and that moving forward will be a breeze as long as I had him by my side.

"Let's get you home, you need all the rest you can get.", Tawan said.

But I didn't want to leave just yet, I wanted to savor the moment and cherish it with him. 

"Let's sleep together tonight.", I replied as I stopped midway our tracks out of the balcony. 

Tawan stopped in shock too, and it was clear to me what he thought I meant when I said those words. 

"Are you sure?", He asked, but not in an exciting manner. He was rather concerned.

I held his hand and brushed it softly, the small strands of hair on the surface brushing against my fingers. 

"Of course. After this night, I won't be able to come back to the way I was before. My youth will officially end when I start my therapy, and with that I'd like to spend my last day as a teenager with you."

He sighed heavily before giving me a smile and guided me back to his room again.

"Stay here for a bit, I'll go get something."

Moments after he came back with a set of toiletries and a towel hung on his shoulders.

"Would you like to take a shower?"

"Sure.", I said as I took the towel in his hand. 

When I walked towards the bathroom, an idea suddenly hit me and I turned at Tawan who was happily taking his own trip down the memory lane with all the pictures on the wall.

"Tawan?", I called for him from the bathroom door.

"Yes? do you need anything else?"

"Nothing..just, do you wanna take a shower together?"

His jaw dropped the moment I asked him to take a shower with me. I too, was shocked with the words that came out of my mouth, but it was already too late to withdraw. I guess it was something I wanted so bad that my mouth did the talking without actually thinking.

"I--I'm fine, you can go first.", He replied, completely feeling awkward as he stood a few feet away from me. He was brushing his hands repeatedly in his pants, and he looked funny because he looked agitated when he replied. 

I walked out of the room and towards him, who still stood like a rock as I moved. When I got in front of him, Tawan's face was red and he couldn't maintain his eye contact. 

"You're cute when you act like that.", I said as I touched his adam's apple. It was glistening with all the sweat coming from his face, and every now and then he gulped, his symbol of masculinity constantly moving up and down. It looked seductive though, and I couldn't keep myself from being deeply attracted to his adam's apple.

"H-hey, don't touch it.", He said as he softly brushed my hand off.

"Are you gonna shower with me or not?"

He gave me a few glances before he agreed, and we both went inside the bathroom.

It was a small bathroom that was clearly intended for a single person to use, but we could still fit comfortable even if we stretched our limbs. The floor was cold and marbled, and it was the only part of the room that had an accent. The walls, sink, and the tub itself were all painted white. A huge mirror covers a big portion of the wall, and below it was a counter where a single sink was located. In the white light that shone on the ceiling, the bathroom looked so pristine and organized.
