Coconut helped lug the rest of the band's instruments and crap into the common room of their dorm, dumping it all over the floor without any real care. Char and Blue were sat on the couch with Winx and Rivet watching them. "Alright guys! That's the last of our stuff."
Rivet looked up immediately. "Really? So me and Alex can go-"
He was cut off by a hand over his mouth. "Remember. The innocent cinnamon roll is present," Jackie reminded him.
Winx looked over at the two and smiled cutely. "Is it time for bed?"
---
Blue had told Char everything that happened to him. In the camper, Blue had noticed Char's strange behavior and assumed it was her starstruck response to Jackie. "So...have you guys reached second base or something? I didn't expect you to move so fast." He whispered.
Char flipped "What?" It was rare for Char to be flustered. "N-No, they just kidnapped me too because they didn't want me reporting them."
"Oh." He smiled sneakily. "So you'll be sleeping with them then?"
Her heart rate quickened. "Shut up Blue, you know how terrified I already am."
He laughed.
She played his game right back at him. "You'll be sleeping with Yuno." She wiggled her eyebrows.
Blue pretended to be disgusted. "Yuck, don't remind me. He better not try anything."
Char snickered. "Blue, you're wearing his hoodie. I'd guess you two will be moving faster than Jackie and I ever will."
Blue kicked her.
Now sitting on the couch in the dorm, the two were both quiet, unsure and uncomfortable, but grateful for their company. They sat close together for safety.
---
Rivet, having listened in on the two's conversation, smirked. "So you're getting to like your kidnappers, huh?" he teased.
Winx leaned closer, intrigued. "So you are Coconut's boyfriend?" Winx asked Blue, then before he could even answer, turned to Char. "And you're Jackie's girlfriend?"
---
Their faces flared in embarrassment. "NO!" They both said at once. In unison, they protested.
Blue had yet to abandon his repulsed act. "Me and Coconut? Pssh, never."
"I'm not even looking for a partner right now, so no. I'm not their girlfriend." Char explained kindly to Winx.
---
Winx's face fell. "Oh. Okay…" he said with disappointment. "I was hoping you were… they really need someone right now… especially Coconut," Winx said sadly, muttering the last part.
---
Crypt walked out of his room and appeared behind Winx again. "Winx!" He checked the time. "It's late! Time for bed. Now." He picked him up bridal-style treating him as if he were a little kid. He carried him off to Winx's room.
Blue paid attention to Winx's words but didn't say anything. Wondering if there was something wrong with Yuno and then thought about his scars again, which made him blush.
---
Winx whined but let Crypt bring him to his room.
Rivet looked at the two hostages. "Winx was telling the truth. They do need someone, so if you aren't going to be that person, don't go and get their hopes up. Okay?" Rivet had a serious tone of voice, becoming protective of his friends.
---
"Get their hopes up? What's that even supposed to mean?" Blue had a feeling.
"You won't have to worry about that," Char said. "There's nothing like that between Jackie and I."
---
Jackie walked in behind the couch, just in time to hear the last part of what Char said. "Ah… really?" they asked, a broken smile settling on their face.
---
Char looked surprised when she saw Jackie and then immediately tried to take back what she said. "Uhh, Jackie! I- what I just said wasn't about- I mean, that doesn't mean there can't be anything between us?" She wanted to crawl in a hole and die. Char let her face fall into her hands.
Blue could only laugh. "What she means to say Jackie is she-" he was cut off by a kick from Char. "Ouch."
---
"Um… alright?" Jackie said, slowly dropping the subject. "Come on, Char, my room is this way."
Coconut came into the common room from one of the attached hallways, a smile on his face like normal. "Yeah, Angel, you're staying in my room." He was still not wearing a shirt, only a pair of tight jeans that hugged his legs. He ran a hand through his wavy hair. "I only have one bed, but it's big enough for both of us to be comfortable."
Rivet looked up at Coconut and practically purred, eyeing his built chest. "Wow, Coconut, how nice of you to treat our guests with this amazing sight."
Coconut chuckled and crossed his arms. "Better watch it, Rivet, if Alex hears you, you'll get another punishment."
Rivet's face grew a red tint and his composure broke for a moment. "You heard that?"
"How could I not?" Coconut raised an eyebrow. "You were very loud. You need to keep your voice down, or your captain might need to get you a gag."
Rivet's face flushed red. Usually, he didn't get shy like this, but knowing Coconut had heard him and Alex doing that made him feel embarrassed. "Y-Yep!" he squeaked, rushing off to his and Alex's room and slamming the door behind him.
---
Blue blushed. His heart slamming against his chest. "Tch. Of course, there's only one bed. I'm certain you made sure of that." Blue crossed his leg over the other and folded his arms.
Meanwhile, Char practically jumped off the couch and bounced after Jackie. Blue felt slightly betrayed.
---
Coconut jerked his head towards the hallway he came out of. "Come on. I'm sure you're tired."
---
Blue felt glued to the couch, but at the same time something inside him was pulling toward Coconut.
"I could just crash on the couch…couldn't I?" He didn't want to.
---
Coconut shook his head. "No. Sorry."
---
Blue was shocked. "No?" He looked at him like he had heard him wrong.
---
"Did you really think I was going to say yes?" Coconut asked with an amused smile. "Now hurry up or else I'm carrying you there."
---
Blue liked that idea. "No." He stretched out on the couch, putting his arms behind his neck. "Make me."
---
Coconut shrugged and walked over to Blue, slipping one arm underneath his knees and wrapping his other arm around Blue's back, picking him up with ease.
---
Blue yelled in surprise. "AAH! I didn't think you were serious!" He shoved on his strong shoulders, which was an excuse to touch him.
---
Coconut smirked. "Didn't I sound serious?" he asked, holding Blue tightly to his chest while he made his way to his room.
---
Blue reveled pressed against Coconut. He tried to soak in as much of it as he could without Coconut noticing. "Put me down!" It sounded more like a suggestion than a demand. He swung his legs like a child. The corners of his mouth threatened to upturn in a smile.
---
"Nah. I like you like this." Coconut remained unfazed by the thrashing fish in his arms.
---
Blue gave him a pouty glare with blushing cheeks. As he was carried into Coconut's room, his excitement was increasing as much as his fear.
"I said put me down!" He reached up and pulled on Coconut's ear.
---
"Ow!" Coconut flinched away from him but made sure he didn't drop Blue. "Stop that! I'm gonna drop you!"
---
"That's what I'm getting at!" Blue felt himself slip a little in Coconut's arms, he gasped slightly and quick as lightning wrapped his arms around Coconut's neck. He had never blushed so hard before.
---
"Well, you don't seem like you really want me to!" Coconut growled, jostling Blue in his arms in an attempt to keep him from falling.
---
Blue felt like he was on fire. The more he was tossed around, the more he shifted against Coconut. His arousal levels skyrocketed. Once he started smiling he couldn't stop. And then he hid his face in the crook of Coconut's neck so he wouldn't see his smile.
---
Finally, Coconut was able to stabilize both of them. He finished his trek towards his bed and roughly dropped Blue onto it, walking away from him as soon as he left his arms. He approached the large closet in the wall, rummaging through the mess of clothes. He turned back around with an old shirt and some big sweatpants and threw them at Blue.
---
Blue wiped the smile off his face and sat up on Coconut's bed, holding the clothes thrown at him. "You want me to change into these?" His eyes trailed down Coconut's back, taking in every detail.
---
"Yeah, I doubt you want to sleep in your normal clothes, so you can just borrow mine."
---
Blue blushed again and took off his glasses, setting them on the nightstand. Making sure Coconut was turned around, Blue undressed. He slipped off his jeans and put on Coconut's sweatpants and then took off his shirt. He checked to make sure Coconut was still turned around.
---
Coconut turned around with some clothes and a towel in his hand, not knowing Blue was changing behind him. "Hey, Angel, I'm going to-" he cut himself off in surprise when he saw Blue half-naked. "-go take a shower…" he finished.
---
He threw the shirt on in a hurry. "Ok." He blushed, imagining Coconut coming out of a hot shower with water dripping off his skin… "Uh, is it ok if I take one after you? Also do you have an extra toothbrush?" His misbehaving eyes trailed down Coconut's abdomen and v-line.
---
"Uh, yeah, for both questions. I'm going to go take my shower now, here… watch TV or something," Coconut said, throwing the remote to a flatscreen TV at Blue before he walked into the bathroom and locked the door. A few moments passed before the shower started running.
---
Blue flipped through channels for a while before getting bored and wandering around the room. He found a picture of Coconut singing and picked it up, smiling slightly.
---
Coconut opened the door of the bathroom almost completely silently. His hair was wet and water was slowly dripping down his exposed torso. He wore nothing but a pair of sweatpants, which were barely hanging onto his hips, revealing more skin than necessary. Coconut noticed Blue holding a picture of him and quietly walked up behind him. "That was my first time doing karaoke."
---
Blue jumped and whipped around, still holding the photo. "Oh. It's a...nice photo of you, you looked...happy." He wasn't looking at the photo anymore, now he was very obviously checking out Coconut.
---
Coconut took the picture from Blue's hands gently and looked at it fondly. "Yeah… I went with my boy-" Coconut stopped himself, suddenly seeming sad. He put the photo down and shook his head. "Nevermind."
---
Blue wanted to ask a question, but decided he shouldn't push it. "Um, so...toothbrush?" He tore his gaze away from Coconut's chest.
---
"Oh, there's a few extra ones in the cabinet. You'll see them, they're hard to miss."
---
"Thanks." He stepped past Coconut and into the bathroom, turning his head to look at him one last time.
---
Coconut gazed at the photo longingly, staring at a faint figure in the background. He could feel tears starting to form but he quickly blinked them away. He turned to a different picture, one less eye catching and picked it up. A boy with messy black hair and soft blue eyes smiled at him, frozen in time. "I miss you so much…" Coconut whispered as he thumbed at the frame, remembering memories from long ago.
---
Blue knew something was wrong and thought about what Rivet said. About how Coconut needed someone now more than ever. He opened his mouth to say something, but then turned away and closed the door. After showering, Blue wiped fog from the mirror and stared at his reflection, hands on the sink. He found what he hoped was an unused toothbrush and used it. Once finished, he played with his hair nervously, worrying about how he looked. Frustrated, he left it messy and opened the door, holding the towel tightly around his stomach.
---
Coconut lay stretched out on the bed, already asleep. He breathed softly but his eyes seemed a little red, as if he had been crying. He held the photo from before in his hand, loosely holding onto it.
---
Blue put on Coconut's clothes that he left on the sink in the bathroom and then cautiously approached the bed. His heart felt heavy, wishing he could understand why Yuno was hurting. He lifted the covers and slipped into bed, facing him and then closing his eyes.
----
Coconut's eyes fluttered open at the ruffling of sheets. He realized Blue was in front of him and then looked at the picture he was holding. Shit! he cursed in his mind. Coconut sat up so fast he nearly got whiplash and he slammed the picture frame face down onto the nightstand so hard he heard the glass shatter. Cursing in his head again, Coconut pulled his legs to his chest and buried his head in his hands and nearly whimpered but he stifled it before it left his mouth.
---
Blue sat up quickly at the noise. "Coconut? Are you okay?" He asked, slightly afraid.
---
Coconut jolted in shock. "You-You're awake?!"
----
Blue's eyes saddened. "Was that...Blaize said something about someone named...Haven?"
---
Coconut flinched noticeably. "... Maven… his name was Maven…"
---
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm assuming he was important to you."
---
Coconut sighed loudly. "It… It's fine…"
---
Blue felt like he was crossing a line. "He died...didn't he?"
---
Coconut looked up at Blue with teary eyes. "Ye-Yeah… it… it was my fault too…"
---
Blue's heart felt heavy with sympathetic grief. He slowly covered Coconut's hand with his own. "Do you need someone to talk to?"
---
Coconut only nodded.
---
"What happened?" He whispered.
---
Coconut took a deep breath. "He… I… he-he…" Coconut stopped talking and closed his eyes in pain as he remembered.
---
"It's ok, It wasn't my place to ask anyway. If it's too much for you, you shouldn't force yourself to tell me. I understand." That didn't mean he wasn't dying to know what happened.
---
"N-No, it's not you… its… it's just hard to think about…" Coconut opened his eyes and picked up the broken picture frame, shaking it free of glass shards and turning it over to look at. "He looked so happy in this picture. I thought everything was fine. I thought I could spend the rest of my life with him. But… but he didn't tell me anything was wrong, and I bought his facade. I didn't notice until I found him on the railing of the bridge where we met, getting ready to jump. I tried… I tried so hard to get to him, but… but he was too far gone." Coconut hit his forehead on his knees. "It was all so obvious when I looked back! I just wish I had noticed sooner! Seen through his fake smiles and forced laughs! I just… I just wish he was still here," Coconut whispered sadly.
---
Blue wanted to reach over and hug him but he was unsure. "I don't know what to say. I'm really sorry that happened. You shouldn't have to go through this…"
---
Coconut shook his head. "No… I'm used to it… you don't have to feel sorry for me."
---
Blue looked down. "Well then, I'm sorry the world sucks. Thanks for trusting me enough to tell me. How do you even move on from something like this? How have you been holding up?" He looked up at him with his eyes.
---
"It wasn't as much about trust as much it was about making sure you know of my curse," Coconut said bitterly, looking elsewhere. Then he sighed and shook his head. "It's… it's people like you, Angel."
---
His heart fluttered. "Wh-What? What do you mean?" He blinked.
---
"It's people who care. It's the people who listen who help people like me get through things like that. But… that doesn't mean it stops hurting…"
---
"I know I don't know you very well, but there's something about you that's...alluring. I sound like a crappy cheeseball when I say this, but, I'll listen to you if you ever need it. I guess what I'm saying is-" He paused. "I care about you even though I don't- and not just because of what you've told me- I've started caring about you from the- nevermind. Anyway…" Blue shook the blush off his cheeks. "You don't think you'll ever move on?" Blue leaned closer, wanting to comfort Coconut.
---
"I've already moved on… but… I'll never forget him. It'll probably haunt me for the rest of my life," Coconut said with a sad smile.
---
Blue's expression held sadness, but also hope. "Does it feel better to talk about it?"
---
"Not really… but it feels nice to talk to you more."
---
Blue could hear his heart in his ears. "Would you...feel better if I...hugged you?" He shyly asked.
---
Coconut looked at Blue with a small smirk, and trying to lighten the mood, said, "Any excuse to hold you… but… yeah…" His voice became more sincere and grateful, his smirk returning to a soft smile.
---
Blue rolled his eyes slightly and blushed. His flirts made him feel like he was floating. Blue wrapped his arms around Coconut and rested his chin in the crook of Coconut's shoulder. He closed his eyes and soaked in his warmth, hoping they could freeze time and stay in this moment. "Can I tell you a secret?"
---
"Of course," Coconut whispered. He wrapped his own arms around Blue and nuzzled into his blue-dyed hair.
---
Blue smiled at the affection. "Don't tell anyone. It's embarrassing."
---
"You don't have to worry about that with me."
---
He whispered in Coconut's ear so softly he could scarcely hear himself. "I like it when you call me Angel."
---
Coconut smiled. "Good. I wasn't planning on dropping it anyway."
---
"Thanks for saving me from Blaize. I don't know how I'm going to break up with him."
---
Coconut shrugged. "Just text him. If he tries anything, you'll be by my side so you don't have to worry about him hurting you or something."
---
Blue hugged him tighter. "Just...text him? He won't be happy about that but...you're right. What can he do to me with you around?"
---
"Nothing, really, but… you might have to stay longer than we originally thought. It's hard to tell with Blaize."
---
"How long were you planning on keeping me?" He pulled his head away to look at him, but he kept his arms around him. He raised an eyebrow, giving Coconut a "you're in trouble" look.
---
Coconut chuckled sheepishly. "We were only keeping you until everything about the mascot settled down. But Blaize is a little harder to predict…"
---
"How long have you known Blaize?" He kept the line of questions going so he had an excuse to stay in his arms.
---
"I've known him for a long time but we just so happened to go to the same college. To be honest… we're brothers… his family adopted me when I was young…"
---
"What?" It was so outrageous it sounded like a joke. "Thats crazy. So you- oh." Blue thought about Blaize's situation, about how he must feel after his adopted brother kidnapped his boyfriend who broke up with him and then started dating his brother. Blue froze and blushed at his own thoughts. "He's gonna be pissed."
---
Coconut laughed. "Yeah he will. But that's fine… we had a falling out years ago. Hasn't ever been the same, never will be the same."
---
"Well, at least he hires your band for parties." Blue snuggled deeper into the hug, laying against his chest.
---
Coconut chuckled. "Yeah, I guess."
---
Blue asked sleepily. "What's so funny?"
---
"We're the only actual formed band at the college. He doesn't have any choice but to pick us."
---
"Oh. Well, you sound professional when you play...and it's thanks to Blaize we met."
---
"Yeah, and for once I'm grateful for that brat."
---
Blue didn't care about hiding his feelings for Coconut at this point. "What's going to happen tomorrow?" He sat up, peeling himself off of Coconut but still sitting close enough that Coconut's arms were still around him. Blue took off the shirt Coconut lended him. "It's hot in here." Then he retreated to his claimed spot against Coconut's chest despite the heat in the room.
---
"What do mean, happen tomorrow?" Coconut asked, letting Blue snuggle closer to him.
---
"Exactly what I said. We don't have any classes tomorrow so am I going to be cooped up here with Char alone? It would be nice to let us be free to go places."
---
Coconut shook his head sadly. "I'm afraid we can't just let you roam. But…"
---
"I thought you might say that. But?"
---
"You can come with us to our sports games… if you want?"
---
"Sports practices?"
---
"Yeah. I have a soccer game then we can go with Char and Jackie to see a boxing match we've been planning to go to."
---
"Hm. Wasn't planning on going anywhere this weekend. I sure as hell wasn't planning I would be going anywhere with you or-" he blushed and then jumped off of Coconut and turned away. "It's late. Goodnight." He lifted the covers and slipped under.
----
Coconut mumbled a confused goodnight to him, wondering why he had got off of him so suddenly. He shrugged it off and reached over to the lamp to turn off the lights and go to sleep as well.
---
Blue gripped the sheets, his heart pumping faster than ever before. He hadn't ever experienced feelings like this before. Blue knew he really really liked Coconut but he didn't know what to do about it. Not to mention he felt like a total ass for lying in bed with his boyfriend's shirtless brother.
---
"Oh, wait. Before you go to sleep, here," Coconut said, suddenly sitting up and grabbing something from the nightstand. It was Blue's phone, and Coconut had his hand out with it for him to grab.
---
Blue turned around and sat up. "Oh." He took it from Coconut. "Um...can you help me send a break up text to Blaize real quick?"
---
"Why'd you think I gave you your phone back? Of course."
---
Blue smiled. "Can you hand me my glasses?" He scooted closer to Coconut so their arms were touching.
---
"Sure," Coconut smiled and reached over, gently picking up the glasses and handing them to him.
---
While opening his phone, Blue said, "uh, thanks. Can you put them on for me? I mean on my face not yours."
---
"Um… okay?" Coconut did as he asked, albeit with confusion.
---
"Thanks." He smiled at Coconut while he put them on his face then he looked down at his phone and his expression was grim. He groaned. "I don't even know how to begin."
---
"Here, can I do it? I feel like pissing him off right now," Coconut smirked and held out his hand.
---
Blue liked Coconut's fire. "That definitely isn't a good idea. Let's approach this...carefully. So we don't wake up a bear." Blue thought for a second and started typing. "Thank you for inviting me to the party, Blaize. But I'm sorry to say I didn't have a good time. You behaved differently from when I first met you and I think tonight your true colors showed. I don't think I can do this anymore. Again, I'm sorry. Thank you for being kind enough to spend your time with me."
---
"Hm. Fine." Coconut let him send the text before taking back the phone and beginning to type out a message as well. "Hey there, little bro, sorry about your newest break-up, I hope it wasn't too hard on you! ;p" Coconut sent the message and then took a selfie of him and Blue lying next to each other and sent that as well.
---
"Coconut!" Blue yelled. He grabbed his phone and stared in horror at what he sent. "Do you realize what you've done?" The messages said read.
---
"Yep. Don't worry, Angel. We'll be fine." Coconut nuzzled into Blue's hair. "I promise."
---
Blue's feelings were battling each other. He pushed Coconut away and gave him an angry look. "You can't just do things like that. Blaize- he's...he's going to do something about this. He's going to come after you."
---
"I know. Trust me, this is the first step in getting him to leave you alone."
---
"You sent a picture of us laying together without our shirts on. He's going to think we-" Blue blushed.
---
"That we slept together? That's the point. He won't bother you if he thinks we're together. He knows better than to try to go against me. He's my brother. He knows better than anyone."
---
Blue's blush brightened. "B-But we didn't. And we aren't going to. That's what you should understand."
---
Coconut pouted childishly. "Aw, but why not?"
---
Blue almost laughed but he kept up his act and glared sternly. "Because I just met you." Then he turned around to sleep.
---
"Geez, fine, don't get your panties in a twist," Coconut snickered, doing the same.
---
Blue kicked him.
---
Coconut whined, "Ow, what was that for?"
---
Blue didn't respond and pretended to be asleep.
---
Coconut huffed, but did the same and lied down, quickly falling into sleep.
---
After waiting for a while, Blue carefully turned around and sadly saw Coconut facing the opposite way. He scooted slightly closer toward him and then fell asleep staring at his back.
---
Coconut mumbled lightly in his sleep before turning over and grasping Blue, pulling him close to his chest and hugging him tightly against him. "... don't… don't leave…"
---
Startled, Blue widened his eyes as his heart pounded in his ears. "Coconut…" He whispered. "Are you dreaming?"
---
Coconut whimpered and pulled Blue even closer to him, his hold like a death grip. "I-I'm sorry… my fault… just… don't… go… pl-please…"
---
"Coconut, wake up!"
---
Coconut jolted awake and shot up with a yell, breathing hard.
---
"Yuno! You were dreaming." Blue held his face in his hands.
---
Coconut looked at Blue with a sad face. "I know. It happens all the time."
---
"It...happens all the time? Yuno, that's not healthy. What are your nightmares about?"
---
Coconut shook his head. "Not nightmares. Night terrors." Coconut rubbed his head with a wince.
---
"What are they like?" Blue's voice was full of concern.
---
"They're different from nightmares. Night terrors are just like nightmares, but when you wake up, you wake up suddenly, scared out of your mind, but you don't know by what. When you have a nightmare, you can remember it. When you have a night terror, you can't recall it at all."
---
Blue looked at him in pity. "That's awful…" Blue thought for a minute. "Wait a second, you were talking in your sleep. You said something was your fault and...you were saying someone was leaving you."
---
Coconut chuckled dryly. "Yeah. I probably did. I've lost a lot of people who were dear to me… and it's always my fault. That's why Blaize said he didn't want me infecting you with my curse. He's right, of course. Eventually, everyone I love ends up dying or disappearing forever."
---
Blue was speechless for a few seconds and suddenly everything made sense. Then he made a hard face, a newfound rage found for Blaize. "I changed my mind. I'm glad you sent him that picture of us." Blue embraced him with a hug. "We're going to prove him wrong. Once he sees someone you love hasn't left you then, you'll be curse free and we'll make him eat his words because he's wrong."
---
"No. Angel, you don't understand," Coconut said desperately, leaning away from the hug and looking somewhere other than Blue. "People don't leave me willingly. They don't leave at all. They die."
---
"Pfft. Like that should stop me." Blue rolled his eyes and leaned back on his hands. "It's not like you have an actual curse put on you, Yuno."
---
"I might as well have one though."
---
"Don't talk like that." Blue sat up again and slid his hands around Coconut's neck, sticking his fingers in his hair. "You're not going to lose me. I'll make sure of it. The only possible way I could risk death right now is if I'm struck by lightning or if Blaize murders me." He chuckled. "And thanks to you, I think Blaize really is going to kill me, so maybe we do have something to worry about."
---
"He won't kill you. Blaize might be a complete jackass, but he isn't a cold-blooded murderer," Coconut said with a smile.
---
"Oh? So I guess there really isn't anything to worry about then. See? Curse free." Blue tilted his head to the side with a smile and then blushed.
---
"You shouldn't say that, Angel, you can never know what to expect from this God-forsaken world." Coconut reached over and cupped Blue's cheek, running his thumb over his lips. "Can I… Can I kiss you?"
---
Blue was feeling head over heels in love and desperately wanted to tell him yes. He almost leaned in to do so. Blue stared at him for what felt like ages but was only for a few seconds and then he made a face and sneakily smiled. "No."
---
Coconut looked away, slightly disappointed, and pulled his hand back. "Well, if that's what you want, then…"
---
Blue ached. "N-No! I was just…" he grabbed Coconut's hand.
---
Coconut gave him a confused look.
---
"Uuuh," Blue looked shy. "I-I was trying to play hard to get because my horoscope told me not to kiss on the first date or else it would give them full control over me…" he nervously laughed. "I-I was just joking."
---
Coconut was silent for a few moments. Then he smirked, leaning in towards Blue. "But we're not on a date…"
---
"N-no- y-you're right, we aren't but we only just met so doesn't that only worsen our case?" Blue stared at Coconut's lips while biting his own.
---
"People have one-night stands all the time. They kiss within an hour of meeting sometimes. What's the difference?"
---
Blue's face fell and then he pushed Coconut gently away with one hand- another excuse to touch him. "Wait. Is that all this is? A one-night stand? Is that all I am? Someone you met that you just want to kiss for one night?"
---
Much too late, Coconut realized his mistake. "No, no! That's not what I meant. That was a stupid way for me to justify being able to kiss you. I'm sorry."
---
Blue was surprised at how fast he responded. He raised his eyebrows and laughed. "My horoscope was right. I've got you wrapped around my finger." His expression changed into something more romantic. "Playing hard to get pays off."
---
Coconut rolled his eyes after he found that Blue had understood. "How am I wrapped around your finger? If anything," Coconut moved forward and hovered over Blue, pinning him to the bed. "It's you who's wrapped around my finger," he purred into Blue's ear.
---
Blue calmed his heart and forced confidence. He laughed. "Really? You're standing up for me- breaking up with my boyfriend for me I mean- and apologizing to me...how in the world do you have me wrapped around your finger?"
---
Coconut mocked hurt. "Are you saying I wouldn't do this for anyone else? I mean, you're partly right." Coconut leaned down and pushed his body closer to Blue's. "But, please, Angel, you've got to understand that," Coconut inched his head forward until his lips were practically touching Blue's. "I'm not the one under you."
---
Just then there was a loud rapping on the wall next to them. "FUCK ALREADY." followed by laughter.
Blue's blush noticeably increased, making him look like he hadn't applied any sun screen for a full day outside.
---
Coconut pulled away only a little and looked up at the wall. "Shut it you fucktards!" he yelled angrily. Then he looked back down at Blue and smirked. "See? I've got you all wrapped up around my finger."
---
Blue was more turned on than ever but stubbornly resisted. "Well…" he turned his face away. "I'm still not going to kiss you. I don't think that would be something someone wrapped around your finger would do."
---
Coconut gave Blue an unimpressed look. "Really? That's low." Then he shrugged and smirked again. "But I do really want that kiss, Angel."
---
I do too, Blue thought. He searched for something to distract Coconut. Then he turned his face toward him again. "Wait. You would do what you did for me for anyone else?" Remembering what he said earlier. "So am I no different from anyone else?" He raised an eyebrow accusingly. "You would help just anyone break up with their boyfriend so you could sleep with them?" Blue desperately hoped Rivet and Alex weren't listening anymore.
---
"Didn't you hear me? I'd stand up for someone, sure, but I only do it for people I like. And I like you."
---
Blue raised his head closer. "Why?" His eyes were harsh-slightly hopeful. "If you can name three things about me- three thoughtful and detailed things you like about me then...I'll kiss you."
There was another pounding on the wall "He's got a nice ass!"
---
Coconut glared at the wall but his look softened. "They aren't wrong." Then his glare hardened again. "I swear to fucking God! This is why we are able to hear you guys everytime you two fuck! Rivet, get back to your captain! And Alex! How about you punish your pet again!" he yelled, knowing full well that as open as the two were about their sex life, they were embarrassed about their kinks.
---
Blue snickered and then snapped back to serious once Coconut looked back at him. And then he blushed. "I thought you were checking me out earlier…" then he shook his head. "But that's not what I meant. It has to be more about who I am. What you know about me."
---
"Um… well, I guess you're right. I haven't known you for long, but I can give it a try…" he spaced off for a moment, looking to be in thought until he sighed and looked down at Blue. "There isn't a lot I can say, honestly, but… I love your personality. Your fiery little attitude and how you refuse to take shit from someone. I love how soft you got when I told you about Maven. How you tried your best to comfort me. And… I don't know. I won't say I love you, because it might be a little too soon for you, but… I like you. A lot. I don't know what it is about you… but you just… you just make me want to kiss you," he said with a nervous laugh, rubbing the back of his neck out of habit.
---
Blue didn't know what to say. "Can you let go of my hands?"
---
Coconut sighed and nodded sadly, thinking Blue didn't like his answer. He let go of Blue's hands and sat up.
---
Blue's hands shot toward Coocnut's head immediately. He grabbed his face and pulled him down on top of him, smashing his lips against Coconut more passionately than he had ever kissed Blaize before.
---
Coconut's eyes widened and he made a muffled sound of surprise. However, he quickly recovered and kissed back.
---
Blue swooned a sigh into his frantic kissing, gripping the back of Coconut's neck as he moved his lips on his. Caught up in the sexual intensity, Blue wrapped his legs around one of Coconut's rubbing up and down with his feet and calves. He knocked his hips against Coconut's.
---
Muttering a curse, Coconut kept up. He pushed his own hips down and grinded them against Blue's, moving one of his hands to his waist and the other to the hair right above the back of Blue's neck.
---
Blue moaned, feeling excitement course through him. He moaned at the contact of Coconut's crotch on his own. And then he wrapped his arms around his back, sliding them up and down lovingly.
---
Coconut hummed pleasantly, breaking the kiss and trailing down Blue's jaw to his neck, where he lightly kissed a few times.
---
"Coconut," Blue breathed. "Don't leave any marks."
---
Coconut grunted in displeasure. "What if they aren't visible?"
---
"I can make an exception."
---
Coconut smiled against Blue's neck and moved down farther to his collarbone and began to lick the skin. The hand that was in Blue's hair slid down as well, joining the other at his waist.
---
Blue gasped sharply and tightened his grip around Coconut's back, his legs squeezing around Coconut's.
---
Smirking, Coconut sneaked his hands down to Blue's ass and squeezed it roughly. At the same time, he sucked hard on the skin around Blue's collarbone.
---
"Coconut," Blue's voice was a little louder than he meant it to be. He smiled. "Behave yourself."
----
Coconut stopped sucking on Blue's skin to look up at him. "What's that supposed to mean?" he huffed.
---
Blue kissed him again. "Don't stop."
---
"Wasn't planning to," Coconut mumbled, resuming his ministrations. He slowly began to knead Blue's ass. He pulled back from Blue's neck for a moment to look over his work. Purple and red marks were scattered across the top of his chest. Coconut hummed again in satisfaction.
---
Blue was breathing heavily, his face flushed. He looked up at Coconut with low-hanging eyelids. "Coconut...I said I would kiss you...once."
---
Coconut frowned and his eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "But you seem to like this."
---
"Oh, God, I love this. But…" Blue didn't know how to finish. Part of him told himself to shut up and let Coconut continue to do whatever he wanted to him.
---
"But what?"
---
"I'm still playing hard to get." he smiled, but despite what he said, kissed him again.
----
"Well I'm not playing that game anymore." Coconut smirked at him and leaned close again. "I thought I already won."
---
"Hm. You're cute. As always." He patted his cheek. "Now hop off, we should get some sleep."
---
Coconut whined. "You're just going to leave me here with my problem?"
---
Blue furrowed his brow in confusion and then blushed when he felt Coconut's boner. He was sure he could feel his poking back. Then he smiled evilly. "That's the point."
---
"So you're forcing both of us to suffer just so you can see me in pain?" He pouted.
---
Blue shoved at Coconut's chest. "Yes. Now get off."
---
With a huff, Coconut angrily got up, pouting like a toddler. He stomped off in the direction of the bathroom.
---
"Yunooo." Now Blue was upset. And then he blushed imagining Coconut "fixing his problem". Blue rolled over in bed and waited for him to come out. Squeezing, his legs together in pain.
---
A few minutes later, Coconut came out of the bathroom, grumbling and wiping his wet hands on his sweatpants to dry them a little.
---
Blue had taken off Coconut's sweatpants and left them hanging over the end of the bed, hoping Coconut would notice before joining him in bed. Blue heard Coconut come out of the bathroom but didn't move, pretending he was asleep.
----
Coconut tilted his head in confusion when he saw the pants he had given to Blue on the end of the bed. However, he didn't question Blue, thinking he was asleep. He quietly got into the bed and laid down, trying to fall asleep.
---
Blue opened one eye, watching Coconut step into bed. His crotch was throbbing. He made a wounded sounding noise and closed his eyes tightly.
---
Coconut looked over at him. "Blue? Are you okay?"
---
He opened his eyes, looking pitifully up at Coconut. "Come closer."
---
"Um, alright?" Coconut did as Blue asked.
---
Blue grabbed his bicep, pausing for a second, and then pulled him closer and sank into Coconut. Wanting to be enveloped in his arms again. "I want to sleep like this."
---
Coconut smiled lovingly. "Sure, Angel. Anything you want."
---
"I've never been this happy before, Coconut." Blue ran his hands down Coconut's arms and abdomen.
---
"I'm glad you are. I am too."
---
