That one exception

Part 10

(this is just a quick update, I'm hoping to have a longer chapter for you soon )

About an hour into our trek around the show floor Lui, Brock and Cartoonz disappeared off to join the queue to try out a new VR headset. I was feeling twitchy so I decided I'd rather walk around because I knew I'd end up getting frustrated and annoyed if I stood in line for too long doing nothing. What I wasn't expecting was Delirious passing up the opportunity to play with Virtual reality, which meant one of two things, he wanted to talk to me about Mini or he wanted to tease me about Mini. Either way this was going to be an uncomfortable discussion and one I'd rather not have in a room full of people who could over hear. The two of us stand and look at each other for a moment before turning and walking towards the lobby as if we'd received some unspoken command.

"My place or yours?" Delirious chuckled as we stepped into the elevator and he leant over to the panel of buttons.

"I don't care, whatever" I half yawned and leant against the wall, relieved that we were the only ones occupying the carriage.

Delirious shrugged and pressed what I assumed was the button for his floor "you know you look like I'm escorting you to your death right?" I could hear the smirk in his voice before I even looked over at him.

"I'm just tired that's all"

"Mini keeping you...uh...up at night huh?" he chuckled at his own innuendo

I rolled my eyes and stood up "no more than you and Evan dumb ass"

"Oh god! If he's like Ev' you're so screwed!" he laughed but at the same time his face lightly flushed with colour.

"After what I saw last night I wouldn't have thought Evan would tease you for too long"

"Last night was...was not...normal...for us" He cleared his throat and looked at me sideways.

"So Ev' is usually the one in charge huh?" I smirk at him feeling like I'd found out one of his darkest secrets. The doors slid open and we walked the rest of the way in silence so that we wouldn't risk anyone overhearing us talking about what we get up to with 'friends'. Delirious let us into their room and waited until the door closed before continuing the conversation.

"He is usually...but it's not because I don't challenge him" he shrugged off his jacket and threw it on the couch, trying to look casual. Their room was much bigger than ours, it was an L shape with a living room type area separated from the bedroom by a second couch.

"So you like the whole tying up thing huh?" I dropped the bag of freebies I'd collected on the side and turned to watch the group's tamed psycho squirming like he was uncomfortable in his own skin.

"What gave you that idea?"

"The gift you gave Mini and I...there was no way you had time enough to go and buy it...which means you already had it..." I crossed my arms and leant against the wall as I watched his face and neck suddenly flood with colour. "How did you know Mini would like that kind of thing?"

He cleared his throat and sat on the arm of the couch "how he acted around you...no arguing, doing what you told him to do and focusing in on how you would take control when we did that top or bottom game...the others had noticed something too, though they just thought it was that you were hot for each other"

"Uhuh...and suggesting the truth or dare game?"

"I...had a feeling that they might...put you...and Mini...in a compromising position" he got up and moved to the small refrigerator, I suspected more for something to distract himself from being uncomfortable than for something to drink. The main door opened and Evan walked in pausing only for a fraction of a second when he saw me.

"Hey Tyler what's up?" He sounded cautious as he sent a questioning look over to Delirious who was fishing three soda's out of the refrigerator.

"Talking Mini...Hey Ev' can I ask you something?" I took one of the cans as Delirious shared them out, opening his own quickly as he moved to the window and looked out at the building next to us.

"Sure..." Even seemed slightly bemused by Delirious' actions and was watching him intently

"you know about the gift we got this morning right?...I kind of figured out from that that one of you liked to be tied up and delirious let slip that usually you're in charge so, that means he's usually the one being restrained" I paused and opened my soda, noticing that Delirious had tensed up.

Evan turned and looked at me with a frown that said he was wondering where this was going. "Right...?"

I'm struggling to keep a straight face and decide to go for the blunt approach "Does he bite his lip when you spank him?" I heard Delirious choke on his drink but Evan just blinked a couple of times as if he wasn't expecting the question and was trying to recall the information. "I'm asking because I swatted Mini this morning and he did the weird biting lip fidget thing"

"Oh!" Evan started to chuckle "yeah...the whole lip biting thing is a dead giveaway" he opened his drink and turned to look at a now gasping and coughing Delirious "he usually does it when he's trying to hide that he's turned on by something"

"Fuck you" Delirious managed to get out between coughs and gasps for air.

"You had your chance last night...now it's my turn" Evan smirked turning back to me "so Tyler how did Mini react to the gift?"

"He did a real good impression of a guppy and turned red" I chuckled " I think he was shocked that someone had figured out he likes not being in control sometimes...I do have to thank our little nut job over there for talking to Mini this morning though...because of him Mini has decided to try out some stuff he was dead set against last night"

"Oh really?"

"Yup...though it does mean I'm going to have a long ass day today...Mini is apparently a serious tease when he wants to be" I grumble and try to console myself with drinking some of the soda.

Evan started laughing "Yeah he's not the only one" I looked over at him and saw the twinkle in his eye as he looked at Delirious, who was fidgeting under his gaze. This was a new look on Delirious and it was strangely endearing.

"I'm going to give you guys some time alone" I announced clearing my throat and putting what was left of my soda down on the side. "I will catch up with you two later" grabbing my bag I make my way out the door making sure to close it properly behind me, with the do not disturb tag on the outside, there are somethings you don't want people walking in on.

The next hour felt like ten, I wandered around aimlessly until I ran into the guys again and we headed to pick up Evan, Delirious, Mini, Lui and Nogla. Loitering around in the main lobby we attracted some attention and some fans came over to say Hi and have pictures taken with us. I hadn't noticed Mini had re-joined the group until I heard him laugh behind me when I was taking a picture with a fan who seemed to only be as tall as my belly button.

"You're back is going to be screwed if you keep bending down like that"

Straightening up and looking back at him smirk "if I stop, you won't get to look at my perfect ass anymore"

He smiled and shrugged "you know me too well...now will you move, the guys are waiting to get some food" he half turned as if he was about to walk away, so I said goodbye to the fans who were still there and started walking towards where the guys were waiting. Mini fell into step beside me, checking his phone as we all headed to the nearest restaurant.
