Don't Look Back

Chapter 10

Inilabas ni Yvan ang tray at pinagkainan ni Khel para ilagay sa lababo. Habang patungo roon ay napadaan siya sa salamin at napansing suot parin pala niya ang tuxedo niya. Nakakaramdam din siya ng kaunting init kaya nagdesisyon siyang hubarin muna ang tuxedo at buksan bahagya ang mga butones niya.

'Now what should I do?' He asked in his mind.

But he can't still move on from the fact that he was fantasizing about Khel moments ago and he feels guilty about it. He inhaled and exhaled to calm himself down before he decided to go back to the room.

When he got back, he saw Khel still shivering and it made Yvan feel like he needed to do something. So without thinking twice, he took his shoes off then slowly climbed to the bed. He scooted himself inside the blankets beside Khel to lie beside him.

Yvan didn't even bother to think about Khel's reaction. He just followed his instincts.

And as soon as he got himself where he wanted to be, he grabbed both Khel's arms and wrapped them all around his abdomen. Now Khel was hugging him.

"S-sir?" Khel wanted to ask why his boss just did that but Yvan was too busy finding the comfortable position. "What are you up to this time?" Khel asked.

"What else? Trying to keep you warm, of course." Yvan replied as if he wasn't feelin awkward about what he just did when actually, he's starting to feel like a pervert.

"Sir naman. Di mo naman kailangan 'to gawin." Khel protested and tried to take his arms back but Yvan wouldn't let him. On top of that, he was too weak to resist so he just let Yvan do what he wanted.

"Just shut up and sleep. You talk too much." Yvan said without looking at him.

Yvan was lying there with Khel's head on one of his arms and both of Khel's arms were embracing him.

"This feels awkward, Sir." Khel commented.

Ni isang beses sa buhay ni Khel ay wala pa siyang nakatabi or nakayakap sa pagtulog. Sanay siyang natutulog mag-isa kaya medyo kakaiba sa pakiramdam na may katabi siya.

"Just don't mind me. If this is the only way to keep you warm, then you have to bear with it." Yvan replied.

"Really, Sir. You don't have to-"

"One more of that statement and I'll fucking shut your mouth with that one thing I do the best."

Napatiklop ang bibig ni Khel sa narinig niya. Alam niya agad kung anong ibig sabihin ng boss niya kaya di na siya nagsalita at ipinikit niya na lang ang kanyang mga mata.

Alam naman niyang hindi magagawa ng boss niya na halikan siya dahil meron siyang sipon at baka ikahawa niya ito. Pero mas mabuti na lang na sigurado dahil ayaw niyang magkasakit din si Yvan.

But slowly, without even realizing, Khel started to feel comfortable. In fact, it wasn't just comfortable, he also feels safe and warm embracing Yvan's muscular body.

Kahit na may sipon ito ay naaamoy niya pa rin ang pabango ni Yvan at masasabi niyang nakakaadik ito. Kaya pasimple niyang ibinaon ang mukha niya sa gilid ng dibdib ni Yvan para mas maamoy niya ito. Ganito ang naging posisyon niya hanggang sa makatulog siya nang mahimbing.

Yvan saw how Khel slowly burried his face on his body. It was a bit ticklish but he just let him. In fact, he admits to himself that he likes the feeling of Khel's breath on his body. Although he could really feel how hot his skin was, he couldn't complain nor push him away.

'Fuck! If he wasn't feeling sick I would have kissed him already.' Yvan thought to himself.

He fixed his arm to pull Khel tighter and then he closed his eyes. He heard Khel's soft moan and it made him feel strange. Yvan wanted to hear that sound again but in a different scenario.
