Chapter 45 - Episode 45: Karaoke night

"You called me an exhibitionist at the movie theater, and now you're asking for a hand job at your friend's place in the living room?"

Josh asked stunned whilst Teo nodded innocently, eyes sparkling with hope.

The latter really thought carefully about it, "Lemme explain, it's not the same thing, there were hundreds people swarming over there, here it's just us and my friends", Josh looked at him unbelievably.

However, once those words left Teo's mouth they didn't come out as the younger one planned them to. Josh's eyes narrowed, not believing how contradictory his boyfriend sounded or maybe he had another perspective so he gave him his input on the matter.

"Maybe for you it's fine because they are YOUR friends not mine,"

The dark-haired emphasized the word 'your' to make it clear he was, barely, just known in Jack's place and could get kicked out at any moment if given the wrong impression, they, obviously, wouldn't send Teo away but him… that was another story.

"I'm welcome here but ain't gon abuse that tiny trust they've poured on me to keep their dear friend safe."

Teo blinked considering his words, those screws got into work as the blood rushed up again trying to get his boyfriend's point starting to make sense, at that moment he felt his crotch less heavy when he balanced his weight on one feet so he looked down gasping as his problem was almost gone, barely noticeable.

He cupped Josh's cheeks startling him up, grinning brightly, "You're a genius, dummy!", giving him a peck to the stunned male, "It's gone. Look"

Letting go off Josh's cheeks Teo put his hands on his hips, swinging them a little as, indeed, his problem wasn't up, yet one could tell how well endowed he was as it still popped out a bit.

The older one nodded, admiring his gorgeous boyfriend from head to toe, sighing deeply as he couldn't believe how lucky he was to get such a stunning being.

Just then Jack walked out holding some snacks in a platter and salt in a small one, chuckling when he put them on the tea table just in front of the huge TV on the wall.

He spoke, making the couple's head turn towards him, "You can eat each other when we get distracted with the songs or drunk, I don't want to get traumatized in a sober state".

At that moment Jimeno stepped in with a six pack of national beers in one hand, a tequila bottle and juice in the other one.

The latter spoke as he settled them on the floor over a rug especially made for them, "Right. It's evil to eat in front of poor people."

Jack nodded now sitting on the mat in front of the snacks to which Jimeno followed right after, "Yeah, not everyone can afford those sort luxuries."

Josh's ears coloured in a deep shade of carmine, whilst Teo scratched his head, "Shouldn't we be saying that? You're the rich one here. Besides you ain't poor, mate, you have a small business which feeds you well." He stated as a matter of fact looking at his friends.

Josh held his hand and whispered in his ear, "I'll tell you what they meant later. Let's enjoy the rest of the day with your friends".

Teo nodded, he wasn't going to deny his inquisitive self wanted a proper answer yet he had to play along for their sake.

Josh led Teo to the couch where Jimeno sat minutes ago, seeing how the latter picked up a song to sing after clicking on the karaoke option.

Jack spoke as Jimeno took forever to pick a song, "I told ya I could pick a movie as the karaoke would be great after night falls"

Jimeno glared at him whilst Teo got comfortable on Josh's shoulder as he leaned over the older whilst his friends discussed.

"I wouldn't let ya. You would pick childish movies"

Josh reached for the plate of nachos, pulling it towards them as set it between his boyfriend and himself, both of them enjoying their bickery.

"Little mermaid is not a childish movie. It's a romance one"

Jack defended himself as Jimeno scoffed, the couple in the back munching nachos.

"You call that romance? So you would date a fish and fuck with one?"

Josh choked with a nacho as Teo's fell from his hand before he could even put it in his mouth. On the other hand Jack smacked the table in disgust.

"The heck is wrong with you! I mean it's a romantic one but I wouldn't…. Sleep with a fish"

Jimeno narrowed his eyes, crossing his arms, "Ok, let's forget about the fucking part. But do you even know what's the hidden message behind that movie?"

Jack pondered that question briefly whilst Teo patted Josh's back as he coughed a little, even reaching for some of his juice to hand it over to his lover.

"What love can be found on the sea too even if you've been stuck in a life where you were forced to, finding your true love in a being from a world different from yours. Wouldn't you sacrifice all you know just to be by their side?"

Josh and Teo looked at each other matching their scarlet faces as they reminisced how they met, Jimeno found his theory plausible yet his stubborn self was backing down as it would mean they would be stuck all noon watching said movie.

"That too, but the prince was a douchebag! The animal couldn't even recognize her and almost got her death by marrying the witch just because the dimwit sold her voice just to have legs."

"She changed herself to fit into his world, what did he do to fit into hers?"

Jack's eyes widened as he analyzed Jimeno's words, Josh looked at Teo and he looked back at him, it was silly but it hit them reconsidering the sacrifices they've made, Teo felt bad because the one who changed his life was Josh to fit into his world it seemed unfair as he thought about it.

Josh pulled him closer after putting the platter aside, pecking the top of his head, whispering, "I have no regrets if my reward is you. Besides I chose this and I would do it all over again. You're worth any sacrifice."

Teo clutched his shirt as he buried his face into his chest, sobbing silently.

"He… he… damn… he was a douchebag"

Jack chuckled realizing the prince sucked at romance, nor knew how to express love, or maybe it was the fact he sucked at flirting.

Jimeno grinned as he snatched the remote, "There it is. Now let's play one dedicated to douchebags"

Jack smiled seeing his friend as he picked one which was a call to those who did the bare minimum in a relationship.

Josh rocked Teo who still refused to let go of him, nuzzling his hair, enjoying how just having the younger one close was enough to fill him with happiness.

Jimeno sang his lungs out as he stood up holding the microphone.

"Filthy scumbag, slithering animal, waste of humanity, how bad you've hurt me!"

"Dirty little worm, I'm talking to you! Because even the most innocuous animal in the world is better than you"

Jack saw how strong those words came out of Jimeno's lips, questioning if he had ever gone through a heartbreak.

Josh clapped whilst Teo looked at his friend with his mouth agape, he knew his friend could sing but this time he did with so much passion he was impressed.

"I didn't know you could sing that well"

Josh praised Jimeno who turned to see them clapping, getting a little shy hiding his face behind his hands.

"You're exaggerating… I just sang"

Jack spoke, still stunned, "No, they are serious. I mean, I'm a rapper but damn! I wouldn't mind doing a collab with you any day"

Jimeno coughed as he couldn't believe his crush, the man he had swoon over all these years was suggesting to make a song with him, his heart raced wildly, be in fear or adrenaline he didn't mind anymore.

Teo interjected, putting his two cents, "Bro. I would buy a ticket in the first row just to see you singing, bud. You sang so well with a karaoke microphone, imagine how amazing it would be if you were in a studio. You had all of this hidden and yet you said you didn't have talent. Damn, if I were a producer I'd hire you close eyed"

Jimeno chuckled, curling over, ashamed to hear his biggest supporters showering him with flowers.

"You say that, but what about ya? Your voice is unique and when you sing, damn man, you can move anyone to tears"

Now Josh turned to see his boyfriend who only blinked, whilst Jack spoke.

"I haven't heard him singing ever. Does he sing well?"

Jimeno sat down facing his crush speaking about his best friend, "That's because he only sings in the shower. He's shy to do it out of there"

"I'm not shy! I just don't think it's that good"

Teo commented, frowning a little as he huddled up in the corner of the sofa whilst Josh sought his hand, speaking softly.

"Would you sing for me?"

Josh looked at him hopeful whilst Teo stared back a little conflicted.
