The Hots (mxm)

26. Step into My Office (Sam)

   I enter the silent, cool house through the wide open French windows. A big grin spreads on my face. This is probably the most adorable scene I have seen in my entire life. I can't help but melt at the sight of the two cuties, although I should probably pity them instead.

   Alec and Barney are sprawled on their stomachs, facing each other, on the timber floor in the middle of the vast living room, which occupies the whole first floor. Their noses almost touch. The wet, shaggy dog's watery eyes are compassionately gazing at my boyfriend, who is muttering petulantly under his breath.

   "And who do you think yet again made a fool of himself and, this time, in front of Sam's mother and his auntie?" he whines. Barney immediately yips and licks the tip of his nose.

   "Yes, you're absolutely right, my friend. It was me! Rose already thinks of me as a... as a... pervert, or... or... God knows what!" Alec shakes his tousled, blond head. The dog does the same, full of sympathy.

   "I could, you know, at least make a good impression on Nicol. She is so nice! She will give me as many white eggs as I want and... and... raspberries... " I hear a quiet sob. Barney immediately crawls a few inches closer and licks the tip of Alec's ear.

   My Peppercorn giggles but quickly pulls the mournful face again. "Do you think Henry is fine?" he asks his furry friend worriedly. "You weren't too rough on him, right? He was just protecting his family. I shouldn't have walked straight to him this way. It's admirable how fearless he is. "

   Barney is not in the least impressed by this praise for the bully. He sneezes loudly as if to show utter disagreement, splashing droplets of water from his soaked fur on Alec's face. My grumpy angel wipes them with the back of his hand and leans towards the dog's ear. "Let me tell you something," he whispers. "I actually think that Henry is not a good bird at all."

   My heart can take no more of this cuteness, and I start laughing loudly, kneeling next to my little drama queen. "Aww, my sweet babe! Henry is very, very bad. If he continues with this dishonorable demeanor, I promise you that he will end straight in the pot," I state.

   Alec gives me an outraged look and squeaks, "No animal cruelty!"

   "Oh, really?" I snort and tentatively peek at his ass. "What about the cruelty to round, seductive bubble butts?"

   "Sam!" he gasps and instantly turns crimson.

   "What? Am I not allowed to think that my boyfriend's ass is the finest one I've seen?" I keep teasing him, but stop and start stroking soothingly his silky hair at the sight of his pout.

   "It was my fault," he mumbles. "I shouldn't have provoked him. I'm an idiot."

   "Nooo, you're so sweet that it doesn't even cross your mind that not everyone is like you," I coo, fighting the urge to roll him on his back and smother him with kisses. Barney barks at me, obviously displeased that he's not getting the same attention. I am not sure I want to touch his muddy, wet fur, though. Alec, on the other hand, seems to have nothing against the dog's complete lack of hygiene and wraps his arms around him.

   "I think I should take care of your butt and then you both need a shower," I suggest, looking at their affectionate hug, which suspiciously resembles a mud wrestling bout.

   "What do you mean take care of my butt?" Alec squints at me. Barney does the same, snorting disapprovingly. They both look quite doubtful. I have no idea what I've done to deserve such distrust.

   "There's quite a nasty bruise that needs to be cleansed," I explain, feeling slightly offended by the fact that my high-principled intentions have been called into question. "I'll put a bandaid on it."

   "Is it going to sting?" Alec asks, exchanging a startled glance with his cuddle buddy.

   "No," I lie without blinking an eye. It has to be done. I'll finish before he even realizes what's going on.

   "Fine," he finally sighs, "but be careful! I have no tolerance to pain."

   I get up and give him a hand, smirking, "I thought you've already learned how gentle I can be."

   "You're just going to bandage me, right?" Alec takes my hand, staring at me questioningly.

   "What else do you think I intend to do?" I chuckle. "Well, I may kiss you as well, just to ease the pain."

   "I don't really mind few kisses," he mumbles, already on his feet, and wraps his arms around my neck. "We need to be careful, though. I don't want to scandalize Rose and your mother."

   "Don't worry, mom has seen worse," I start pecking his lips. "She knows I can't resist your juicy mouth."

   Alec is giggling and stepping back while I'm pushing him across the room towards the stairs. Barney is scurrying on our heels, but I stop him with my leg on the first step, "Sorry, buddy! You know that you're not allowed on the second floor." He howls dramatically but obediently sits, prepared to wait for our return.

   "I'll be back soon," Peppercorn squeaks over my shoulder, trying to maintain balance while climbing the stairs backward and responding to my kisses at the same time. "Sam, I'm going to fall on my back."

   "I've got you, babe," I grin, "two more steps and three more kisses, and we're there."

   "Is this your room?" he stops in front of the white, wooden door with a big poster of Bring Me the Horizon on it. "I can't wait to see it!"

   "Yes, this is the place where all my childhood and teenage secrets are hidden." I open the door and beckon him. "Please, step into the doctor's office, Sir!"

   "Are you the doctor?" Alec giggles. "What is your medical specialty?"

   "I'll leave this to you to decide for yourself," I wink and pull him inside, closing the door behind him.
