Chereads / A Little Secret Between Us / Chapter 18 - His Care

Chapter 18 - His Care

Ivan hastily walked outside Lockwood's spacious gym house and started climbing down the staircase.

How much it hurt him watching his friend getting beaten up!

But his fighter friend doesn't seem to be bothered by it. He decides never to attend any of his fights.

"Amor"

He heard Kai's voice but didn't look back. He walked ahead, trying to ignore the one who chased him. Giving up he halted and looked back.

When Ivan saw Kai running towards him, it was a sight to behold in one's memories.

He ran to him in those perfectly fitted black trousers while struggling to wear the shirt on him.

His chiseled buff body shined in the sunrays and the puff of his azure hair floated back in the air showing off his smooth forehead.

Under the Sun, his sweaty dusky skin sparkled sexily that only increased the temperature.

Ivan gulped as Kai reached near while trying to put his hands in the sleeves of the shirt.

"Did you enjoy the view?" Hearing Kai's words, Ivan shook his head.

"I hate fights!"

"But I am talking about myself"

Ivan inhaled all the rage. His face turned a deep shade of red. He got caught again and this time he couldn't even pretend not to know anything.

The man in front of him has affected enough on his mind for today. Thus Ivan turned away from him and felt a tug on his wrist.

"Leave it" he jerked the former's grip and sprung ahead getting down from the never-ending staircases that ate up his patience.

"Urghhh so many stairs, I hate your spacious lavish mansion, your bloody fights, your handsome face, everything about you, and that stupid garden too" Ivan blurted angrily knowing Kai is behind him, getting down along with his pace.

"Oh so you saw that?" This time Kai talked about coming to his side while getting down from the staircase.

"Not yet. I'm not interested in it"

"Ahan!"

Ivan felt mocked as no matter how much he walked fast, Kai seemed to overcome the distance. He ran ahead, going towards the parked car.

He stood there leaning against the car. His face puffed in anger, his nose became red, blowing heated air. His eyes fixated at the ground and kicking the small pebbles with his shoe. Kai approached him, hanging his backpack over his shoulder, and stood in front of him.

Ivan's eyes fell on Kai's unbuttoned shirt and it was hard to look away. This is getting a hell of a distraction today!

The way he appeared in that transparent piece of the black shirt which he didn't button up and it floated back, showing the dreamy view of his Greek body.

Ivan facepalmed covering his whole face hearing the former's chuckling and snapped angrily at Kai who suppressed his laughter.

He quickly turned his back at him, facing in another direction.

"Mi Amor, I won the fight"

Ivan didn't reply.

"Did you see how I knocked them out? Phew...whoop...thud" As he talked further, Ivan heard a clicking sound of the door opening.

"Aren't you going to talk to me? Mi Amor? C'mon, show me your famous pout"

Ivan huffed in response. He wanted to show he doesn't give two shits about whether he won or lost.

Kai smiled while putting the backpack on the seat and pulled out the towel from it.

"It was so much fun." He talked, wiping his sweat. "Thanks to June. I will tell him to borrow two more fighters next time"

This time Ivan snapped his face at him in a wave of rage.

"Are you seriously trying to kill me by saying that? Have you gone nuts? How do you want me to react after watching you getting brutally punched by two hulks?" Ivan didn't realize he stepped closer to Kai while blurting in rage. "You moron! Do you have any idea how I felt? Arhhh, look at that face" Ivan felt frustrated seeing the wounds on the former's face as he held the winner's chin. "WHAT IS THIS HUN?" He moved his face side to side, noticing all the blue bruises. "Show me your knuckles''

Kai watched him getting bemused as his manfriend tried to dominate him. When receiving no response from the frozen fighter who stood in front of him, Ivan held his hands and flipped backward.

He gasped seeing the blood on the fighter's knuckles and frowned. The only thing that wrenched his heart badly. He couldn't see any of his loved ones go through pain. Especially his two best friends. He was very sure about Kai going through a lot of pain but enduring it with a smile in front of him. It broke his heart badly.

Tears trickled down from his eyes. He covered his face in his palms and started crying.

"You only think about winning? What about me? What would I do if something happened to you? I only have two friends but they don't care about me at all" He tried to blurt in between his sobs.

Kai felt helpless seeing his manfriend crying. He held his palms trying to uncover his face but Ivan didn't let him do it.

"Amor"

"NO. Don't Amor me! I am not your Amor" Ivan cried.

Seeing him like that, Kai pulled him into a hug.

"Shhh stop crying" his fingers softly trailed through Ivan's hair, trying to calm him. The white piece of cloth loosely detangled floating with the breeze.

Ivan hiccuped while crying against his bare chest. A sudden contact of warmth soothed his mind.

"I hate boxing. Why don't you leave it?"

"Because I love it. How can one leave what they love?" Kai's voice felt as soft as a feather. His eyes stilled on the cherry blossomed human in front of him.

"But it's such a violent sport. You always get hurt! Always" Ivan tried to tell him while controlling his sobs.

"When you are here for me I'm not afraid of getting hurt"

The moment Kai said those words, he received a smack of tiny palms on his chest. He felt as if something squishy touched on his rough skin. He chuckled.

Ivan realized he was leaning against Kai's bare chest after feeling the vibration of his chuckle send shivers down his spine.

He immediately pulled out, getting offended after hearing him laugh. He noticed his tears stains over the greek bodied guy's smooth chest.

Kai controlled his laughter as he read Ivan's mind, drooling over him after throwing a fit of tantrums.

Oh, how much he adored it!

He wanted more of it. He wanted Ivan to show more care towards him. Ivan's innocent sound while crying and sobbing made a home in his mind.

"I hate you and your bloody boxing."

"Mi Amor, boxing is my second name"

"May all the boxers choke." He paused then threw a teary-eyed glare "Except you"

Kai smiled moving his hand near to his face to wipe those thick droplets over the apple of his cute men friend's cheeks. Ivan jerked away from his hand and moved his hand to wipe his tears when Kai neared his hands again. Ivan pushed it away. The bulky friend of his teased more, in the attempt, to wipe his tears and not let the owner of it wipe them. In the haste of their hand fights, Ivan took a stance of the fighter just like Kai.

That brought a wide smile to Kai's face. He tried to correct his posture when Ivan hit his fist on the former's nose.

Kai squealed. Ivan instantly became worried and checked his nose. It looked normal and Ivan understood Kai pranked him. He pouted angrily. Kai's eyes noticed his fuller lips. He resisted something in his mind. An urge he felt rising in his mind. His lashes blinked severely. He threw a look around and the pair of captivating orbs ended up falling over Ivan's lips again. Kai felt amused if the human in front of him knew what he feels whenever those fuller lips pout?

Meanwhile, Moon walked towards them joyously and hurriedly sat inside the car. After lying to June that she is going to the library, she made her way to meet the man she loves! It was difficult to deal with Alpha as he could read her mind but she stayed stable mentally and nailed the situation.

She peeped out of the windows seeing both males indulged in talking. With a loud honk of the car, Ivan flinched in the place. Kai glanced at her.

"C'mon guys, we are getting late for the movie!" she chirped happily, clasping her hands.

Ivan felt confused seeing her excitement whilst Kai knew the reason behind it. He get inside the driving seat while Moon joined beside him. Ivan grabbed on the passenger seat behind them. Soon they drove off towards their destination.
