Chapter 46 - Chapter 45 : Double win.

Third person point of view

Joshua turned to Elijah with a grin. " What do you say now ? " This time around Elijah won the first game, but Joshua won the next two. Which makes him the winner for the second round. He wriggled his eyebrows teasing Elijah who only rolled his eyes. He put the controller in front of Joshua's face. " Shall we start the next one ? "

Joshua pushed Elijah's hand away and shook his head. " Give me a small break. I will be back in a minute ". Joshua stood up and went to the kitchen. He poured some juice into a glass and put the juice back in the refrigerator. " Elijah ! You want anything ? " Elijah thought for a second. " Some snacks maybe ". "Okay ".

Joshua looked around and picked up the first packet he found. He went back with the packet in one hand and juice in the other hand. " Here ". He gave it to Elijah and sat down with his juice. They just enjoyed the break quietly. Once they were done Elijah rotated his neck and picked up the controller. " Ready ? " Joshua nodded. And they started the third round.

It was really crucial because it was the deciding round. " Wait wait ah noooo ". Joshua pouted in despair when he saw Elijah won the first round. Elijah only shrugged. Joshua was fired up. " Bring it on ". Joshua said with his full focus on the screen and game. And just like that, the second game started.

Joshua stared at the screen in disbelief. " How did this happen ? " He couldn't believe he lost again. The game was over since Elijah won both of them. And Elijah is the over all winner. Joshua looked like he was about to cry. Elijah saw Joshua's expression and chuckled. " Aww. Come here ". Elijah pulled him closer with his hands around Joshua's waist.

Joshua continued to pout. " You said it was just a game. Why are you upset them ? " Elijah asked with a smile. Joshua scoffed. " Don't give me philosophy like a nice guy just because you won. I know you would be the same too if you lost. Tsk ". Elijah laughed. " Maybe ". Joshua shook his head. He has to accept the defeat anyway.

" So ? What do you want ? " Joshua asked and turned to Elijah. Elijah moved closer slowly pushing Joshua onto the couch and getting on top of him. He moved closer until their faces were inches apart. " W-what is it ? " Joshua continued to blink feeling a bit nervous. Elijah glanced at Joshua's lips and back at his eyes.

Joshua didn't say anything and just stared at him. Elijah used his thumb to trace Joshua's lower lip. Joshua gulped and met Elijah's eyes again. Elijah moved closer, closing the distance between them. Their lips met for a sweet teasing kiss. Elijah kept it slow enjoying every second of the teasing. He put his hand around Joshua's neck supporting him.

Joshua closed his eyes slowly and his stomach erupted in butterflies. His heart fluttered from the touch of Elijah's lips on his. He couldn't help but think how things changed from the last time. They were in the exact same positions a few day ago, but the feel from then and now were completely different.

Past is past anyway. He pushed all the thoughts away and decided to enjoy the kiss and not immerse in unnecessary thoughts. Joshua put his hands around Elijah's neck pulling him closer. Elijah rubbed circles on Joshua's neck with his thumb. Joshua felt his pulse rate going up. He put one of his hands in Elijah's hair running his hand through it.

Elijah liked the feel of Joshua's fingers in his hair. They were slowly brushing along his scalp making Elijah feel good. It was a really relaxing feeling. Elijah tilted his head a little to the side to get easier access to Joshua's lips. Joshua instinctively tilted his head to the opposite side. He put his hand at the nape of Elijah's neck and let it be there.

Elijah tugged lightly at Joshua's lower lip with his teeth; sucking at it, teasing Joshua. Joshua clenched Elijah's shirt at the back crumbling it and his toes curled up. Elijah didn't want to tease Joshua too much. He pressed his lips on Joshua's kissing deeper making Joshua sigh into the kiss. Elijah pulled away when he knew Joshua was running out of breath.

Joshua opened his eyes and stared at Elijah's eyes. Elijah gave a soft smile and sat up. Joshua also sat up properly and rubbed his neck in embarrassment. " So that was what you wanted ? " He turned to look at Elijah. Elijah shook his head. " What ? " Joshua asked shocked by Elijah's response. " I did not say that it was what I wanted ". Elijah said shamelessly. Joshua gasped.

" This is CHEATING ". He crossed his arms. " Did I say it ? " Elijah asked and Joshua shook his head. " See. I will tell you when I really want to use the wish ". Joshua rolled his eyes and was about to walk away, but Elijah pulled him by his arm. Joshua squealed at the sudden force. " What are you doing ? " Joshua fell onto Elijah's lap. Elijah chuckled and held Joshua closer.

" If I ask you for something in the future will you grant it no matter what it is ? " Joshua stared at Elijah and he knew how serious he was right now. Joshua nodded. " I will ". Elijah smiled. Joshua smiled back seeing Elijah smile. Elijah moved closer again but Joshua pushed him back. " Don't think you will have your way with me all the time ". He got up from Elijah's lap.

Elijah slouched feeling bad that he didn't get what he wanted. Joshua raised an eyebrow at him. He picked up the finished snack cover and the glass and walked to the kitchen. He put the glass in the wash basin and threw away the pack. He walked back and sat on the couch. " So tired ". Joshua sighed. " By the way, I forgot to ask you this ". Elijah turned to Joshua.

" Did you go to gym throughout the week ? " Joshua gave a sweet smile. " I did ". Elijah narrowed his eyes. " Why does it look like a lie to me ? " Joshua shrugged. " Tell me the truth ". " I went. It is true ". Joshua raised his voice. " I asked for the truth ". Elijah said in a firm tone. " I went for the first two days, but later...." Joshua scratched his head.

" I am letting you go just because you are cute. And only this once. You are not slacking off anymore ". Joshua nodded. " I am not going anywhere anymore ". Elijah said with a determined look. Joshua smiled. " Okay ". Elijah smiled too. It was already dark and they left to have dinner. " Haven't seen you in a while ".

The owner greeted them when they walked in. They were regulars there, so of course the owner would know. Elijah chuckled. " I was out of the country for work ". The owner nodded. " Alright. Your usual ? " Both of them nodded. " It will be there in a few minutes ". They nodded and the owner went back for work. Their food arrived soon and they started eating.
