Third person point of view
Joshua went to the washroom and sat in a cubicle shutting the door. He took out his phone again and stared at the photo. " What is this guy thinking ? " He mumbled not able to believe it. Not that he didn't like it, but still. " How did he find out though ? " He could say that the picture clearly indicated that the dress was the main point.
Joshua wondered how Elijah found out. He was sure he didn't show any signs and Elijah was still clueless a while ago. He couldn't think of anything that gave him away. He shrugged and stared at the photo a little more. He set the photo as his wallpaper and giggled. He put his phone back in his pocket and walked out of the washroom.
He washed his hands and went back to his seat. Eric immediately came to him asking what was wrong. He assured Eric that it was something personal and apologized for his reaction. Eric being the nice guy he was bought it. He told to speak to him if it was something serious. Joshua felt a little bad.
He nodded and thanked Eric. He felt a teeny bit guilty. But this problem couldn't be solved by Eric anyway. He chuckled a little and immediately covered it up. He cleared hit throat. He took a deep breath and continued with his work.
Elijah woke up after a while and checked his phone. There was no reply from Joshua. He saw Joshua read the message but didn't reply. He smiled and walked out of his room. He didn't want to order any food, so he had a few pancakes that he made in the morning. He cleaned up and went to his bedroom.
He brought out his laptop and put it on the small table in the living room. He sat down on the floor to check through the files that were mailed to him. He rotated his neck and got to work. He spent all of his afternoon working. He checked the time and put the laptop back in his room. He came back out and sat back down on the floor.
When Joshua came back he saw Elijah sitting on the floor watching the television. He went and sat on the couch. Elijah turned to him with a smile. " How was your day ? " Joshua smiled and replied. " It was fine ". Elijah nodded. Joshua spoke up again. " Except one thing ". Elijah furrowed his eyebrows.
" What is it ? " Joshua narrowed his eyes. " Someone I know decided to play a prank on me ". Elijah looked away knowing what Joshua meant. " So ? " He asked acting like he wasn't the one who Joshua was talking about. Joshua scoffed. " ' So ' ? I almost spit the drink on my colleague ". Elijah laughed. " It would've been legendary ".
He continued to laugh imagining it. Joshua rolled his eyes. When Elijah finished laughing he turned to Joshua. " The important thing is; did you like it or not ? " Joshua moved closer until his face was only inches away from Elijah's. " So what if I did ? " Elijah moved even closer. " But I didn't get any reply from you ". He gave a small pout.
Joshua smirked and got up from the couch. He sat on Elijah's lap who was sitting on the floor; straddling him. He put his hands on Elijah's shoulders, looking Elijah in the eye. " I wanted to give you an answer directly when I come back ". His hands traveled downwards and into Elijah's shirt. Elijah froze when he felt Joshua's hands touch his skin.
He quickly recovered holding onto Joshua's wrist stopping him. He gulped not losing eye contact with Joshua. " You know this is sexual assault ". Joshua chuckled. " Then go ahead and sue me or..... " He grazed Elijah's nipples with his finger tips and Elijah flinched visibly. " You can punish me ". Joshua said in a low voice and Elijah only stared at him dumbfounded.
Joshua smirked and got up from Elijah's lap. " Don't get all cocky next time ". He walked away chuckling lightly. Elijah sat in the same position trying to get his mind to function properly again. He let out a shaky breath and put his hand to his heart which was beating like crazy. Joshua took a deep breath when he went to the kitchen. He giggled at what he just did.
He loved Elijah's priceless reaction. He shook his head and smiled. He poured some juice for himself and a glass of water for Elijah. He went back to see Elijah sitting on the couch looking down. He sat beside him and gave him the water. Elijah finished it all at once. Joshua chuckled and when Elijah turned to him, he pursed his lips trying to stop himself from laughing.
He turned to look ahead and continued to sip his drink. Elijah turned to sit facing him. Joshua looked up at Elijah still drinking his juice. " I didn't know you were so daring ". Elijah said like he was challenging Joshua. " What made you think I am not ? " Joshua said and took another sip. Elijah moved closer to Joshua's ear.
" I totally love it though. Makes me want to see more of it ". Joshua gulped not daring to look at Elijah. Elijah chuckled moving away. " Or you really want to get punished ? " " WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING ? " Elijah laughed at Joshua's reaction. " You were the one who said it and here I thought you were daring ". Joshua rolled his eyes.
" You want me to kick you out of the house ? " Elijah put both of his hands around Joshua's waist pulling him closer. " You will not ". Joshua scoffed. " Lucky enough ". He finished the juice and was about to get up but Elijah didn't let him go. " Let go ". " No. Stay like this for a while ". " Are you a kid ? " Joshua asked with a smile.
" For you, yes I am. Your spoiled prince ". Joshua laughed along with Elijah. " You really are ". Joshua shook his head smiling. " What about a game ? " Joshua asked with a nod at the controllers. " Sure ". Elijah said getting up to take out the controllers. " But no bet this time ". Joshua warned in a serious tone. Elijah chuckled.
" There is no fun without something like that ". Joshua shook his head. " I will not play if you want something like that ". " Fine, fine. No bets ". Elijah gave the controller to Joshua and sat down. " But you really don't want to bet ? " Joshua shook his head. " Too bad. I thought of a looooot of things for it ". Joshua gasped. " Bastard. Why are you so horny all the time? "
Elijah rolled his eyes. " Says the one who spoke like that ". Elijah smirked. Joshua groaned. " Ugh. Just stop teasing me already~~ I just said it in the spur of the moment ". Joshua said his cheeks and ears turning red. Elijah laughed. " Okay, okay. But I didn't know you would get jealous and so possessive ". Joshua scoffed.
" Not that I get jealous. Do you really want to go out like that ? " He asked in a loud voice. Elijah shrugged. Joshua's eyes went wide. " NO WAY. I will NOT allow you to ". " And you still said you are not possessive ". Elijah countered. " I am NOT. I don't want you to go around exposing your body to the whole world ". Elijah ruffled Joshua's hair.
" Fine. I will not go outside wearing something like this ". Joshua nodded. " Good ". " What about the bet ? " Joshua chuckled dryly. " Why are you this persistent ? " Elijah pouted. " Whatever. You are not giving in no matter what. Let's just start it ". Joshua shook his head. They played a few rounds until they were tired.
Joshua fell back on the couch. " I cannot anymore ". He put the controller aside. Elijah nodded and sat back. " You want to change ? We will go for dinner ". Elijah asked looking at the time. Joshua turned to Elijah. " I am not changing but you are ". Joshua smiled in a sarcastic way. Elijah rolled his eyes but still stood up. " I will be back ".
He walked into his room to get changed. He took out a round-neck t-shirt and put it on. Joshua went to his room to use the bathroom. He also washed his face. He looked up and his hair was getting longer. He brushed it back and walked out of the bathroom. He saw Elijah coming out after changing his shirt. " Done ? " Joshua nodded and they walked out to go for dinner.
