Chapter 39 - Episode 39: A bet

Teo sat on an empty row, pulling his hand so he would sit on his left which the older complied.

Josh glanced at him, smiling fondly, "Isn't it too far from the screen?"

"You expect me to focus on a movie with you by my side?" He couldn't believe how bold he was letting out his unfiltered thoughts as his cheeks coloured in a soft shade of peach.

Josh lifted an eyebrow as the left corner of his lips tugged upwards slightly as Teo's eyes roamed over his fine features.

"Let's keep it PG, at least until they turn the lights off"

Teo nodded whimpering ever so slightly, licking his lips, tugging at his hand so he could come closer.

Josh leaned towards him, but stopped midway to play with his soft curls when he heard two males approaching speaking real loud.

Teo pursued his lips, cursing his luck as his friend popped in with Jack walking behind him.

"Here is your order, sir" he sang, handing over the nachos to Josh and Teo, besides his best friend's burger, hot dog and soda, whilst Jack made magic carrying the rest of food in his hands.

They took them as his friends sat on Teo's right side.

"Oh right, here is your card" Jimeno gave the card back to its rightful owner.

"No problem" he took it, pocketing it up.

"You coulda made two trips" Teo muttered as his friend got his order from Jack's hands.

"You could've tagged along too" he snapped as he noticed the hostility coming out from his best friend.

"Are you on your days?" Teo talked back in a mocking tone triggering his friend.

"Yeah, but so are you!" He yelped just for a hand to cover his lips.

"Not screaming here, we don't want to get kicked out" Jack whispered into Jimeno's ears, making him turn into a bright shade of carmine as a shiver ran down his back.

"Hmm" he hummed or that's how it sounded, one would never know if it wasn't a moan covered up though.

Some people glare his way, thankfully the lights went off as the movie was about to begin.

Some people whispered amongst themselves, Jack patted Jimeno's back thinking he was embarrassed.

Teo was still pouting as he was mad at his best friend so Josh held his hand, whilst he set the food in the portable table between them.

The golden haired held onto it, however he frowned a little when he saw a division between them.

"Was it really necessary?" He asked, glancing briefly at the armchair between them.

Josh nodded, his lips curling up slightly, "Yup. Let's eat first or the food is gonna get cold"

Teo wanted to rebell up yet his stomach growled so he stuffed himself taking the burger.

He chewed on it whilst Josh dug into his pack of nachos to fetch some.

The four of them concentrated on the beginning of the movie whilst there was food.

Jack and Josh sought their hands of their partners when they finished their snacks.

Teo and Jimeno looked at their entwined fingers, then looked at each other, the first one was happy whilst the second one was confused as it was new to him.

Josh leaned back on the seat side glancing at a distracted Teo, in contrast Jack didn't know if keeping his hold or letting go.

After pondering that question for a brief moment he loosened his grip just to be held prisoner by Jimeno who didn't spare him a single glace, eyes stuck on the big screen.

Teo stared at the screen then back to his intertwined fingers. He turned to his right to ask his friend something but seeing him seriously looking at the screen he held back his tongue, his eyes lowered as he was going to shift his focus when he happened to notice how tight Jimeno and Jack were holding hands.

A thought creeped inside his head as he nodded to himself, now turning his head to the left to whisper on Josh's ears.

"How about we move to the other side so we wouldn't interrupt them?" He suggested to his lover who lifted an eyebrow nodding without uttering a word.

Cautiously they got up from their seats as Jimeno leaned forward trying really hard to concentrate on the movie to even pay attention to his friend and his date.

Carefully Teo and Josh sat 3 rows back so they could give them some privacy.

They observed how Jack looked around in panic until he spotted them to which they just waved at him and gave him thumbs up to boost his confidence.

It was obvious he wanted to have some time alone with Jimeno but the later was totally oblivious to his advances which might not be as bold as he expected.

Jack smiled, nodding as he turned to look at the frowning blonde who gritted his teeth.

He let go off his grip to rub the back of his hand softly, his eyes full of kindness and patience pouring out through every fiber of his being not wanting to rush up anything.

"Do you think he will kiss him?" Josh whispered his question to Teo.

"I've seen them like this for years, none would make a move even if they have the chance. Maybe scared to ruin their friendship," the golden haired man said with a soft sigh as he had seen them running in circles for years although he didn't really get it until he saw them from another perspective.

"He seems willing to try tho" Josh smiled at him when he spoke his thoughts.

"He won't get past there. This is as far as they would go" Teo shrugged seeing how they just held hands.

"What if he does it this time?" Josh asked out of curiosity.

Teo stared at him dead in the eye, "I would let you tie me down and do as you please with me" bursting out of laugh the next second as he was joking.

Josh leaned closer running a finger over his cheeks until he reached the blonde's lips, "Don't put ideas in my head, it's not gonna end up well for you"

Teo chuckled, poking his nose, "It'll stay just in your head because it's not gon' happen in a million years" he mocked him as an answer.

"You sure about that? Wanna bet?" The dark-haired asked playfully, wishing to make things interesting.

"Bring it on, man!" The blonde said without hesitation he would be the winner

They bump fisted eyes shining as the thriller of winning ran inside their being.

"If you lose you will have to visit me everyday next week" Teo said confidently he would be the winner.

"In short I'd be the winner in both cases" Josh beamed as both options were good for him.

"I shoulda picked something more difficult then," the younger pouted causing the older to peck his bread cheeks.

"Hey that's out of bonds, wait until we see who is the winner" Teo complained with a pink face.

"You don't expect me to sit by your side and do nothing, Do you?" The dark haired really meant it as he could as well enjoy every little moment they had.

"Nope. But if we let it take over we will miss who is the winner" his competitive self showing up, to the older's dismay that was another thing he loved about him so he just nodded.

"I hope they get it sorted out fast" Josh mumbled as they observed the little interactions between the men in front of them for the rest of the movie.

Josh was leaning on his hand as his elbow prompted him up supporting itself on his leg whilst Teo was munching slowly some popcorn he asked Josh to get him so he wouldn't get bored.

So far the two male in front of them had giggled, poked their noses, cheeks and blushed doing those little actions but none of them went any further.

"Would they do something else if they get an example in real time?" Josh asked as he didn't expect this date to end up like this.

Indeed ever since they started this game Teo turned down any advance he tried, not even allowing him to kiss his cute and fluffy bread cheeks.

It was a sin to have such a wonderful being by his side yet he had to keep his hands to himself, the boy surely was lucky as even though he didn't want to stop himself he did it respecting the younger's wishes.

He couldn't believe how much self control he was mustering up from God knows where.

Teo shrugged after observing all Jack did was taking out an eyelash from his cheek but not even a peck on his best friend's cheek.

"What do you suggest? The dudes in the movie kissed already and almost did it and all they've done is beat around the bushes" he said frustrated, because he, alike to the older, also wanted to do those things with his lover who was better than any dessert he had laid his eyes on.

"Maybe if you lemme kiss ya-"

"Low trick, man. I said not until we see who is the winner"

Josh groaned in annoyance, "C'mon, at least let me hold your hand"

"I did that and you squeezed my thigh the next second" he glared at the older one.

"It was just a gentle one, no meaning to cause any harm," he defended himself under Teo's harsh stare.

"We both know what it's just the beggining of you know what." He smacked his leg.

Josh smiled as it was at least something as he missed his warm touch even if it was a bit rough.

"I'll let it be for another 5 minutes" he chuckled which confused him.
