Chapter 4 - Hot Kisses Under The Moonlight

Another day is ending, but Cave is still busy drying the cuff of his hoodie. He never takes off his jacket, even when he's washing the dishes, and Mr. Santino also 'forgot' where he put the rubber gloves. It's troublesome, but it's a little uncomfortable so he really wants it to dry.

"This won't dry like this. I should just let it dry on its own," he says, unknowingly forming a pout with his lips. If anyone saw this, they would have been surprised at how different he was compared to what is perceived.

He walks home by himself, looking down at his worn-out shoes and thinking they need to be repaired soon. When he looks up, he sees a pair of students. It's already late, but they are still outside.

"They will probably get some scolding later, hehe," he chuckles, but stops when he remembers his situation. "I wish I had someone who scolds me and nags me too. Must be nice..."

After a few minutes, he is now in front of his unit. He is tired and in extreme need of sleep, but he can't really open the door right now.

He crouches down and lightly taps the sleeping person on the shoulder.

"Hey, wake up."

But instead of waking up, the person slaps his hand away.

"That hurt," Cave rubs the spot that was hit by the person. His eyes form into slits and he grabs the person by the shoulder and starts to shake him up. "I can't let this person sleep while I'm here, not getting the sleep that I deserve."

Thank the heavens when the person finally opens his eyes. Cave almost gives himself a pat on the back for this achievement. It's his first time doing this to someone. He usually wouldn't do this, but this person is sleeping by the door of his unit. He wouldn't be able to enter if he just let him be.

A pair of big blue eyes stared back at his big black ones. He must admit, it was a bit captivating, but what surprises him is when the person pulls him into a hug. His whole body becomes tense because it's his first time receiving a hug.

But why is he being hugged? Did this person mistake him for someone else?

"Hey, are you okay? I'm afraid you're in the wrong place and hugging the wrong person right now," Cave said, his voice full of worry and also a hint of fear.

'What if this person is actually crazy? Should I push him aside and enter the unit like Usain Bolt?'

"Ah," the person looks like he's about to say something. "I...," he looks at the black-haired boy and he removes the hair that's covering his face, "...found you," the blue-eyed person said, his voice as sweet as honey.

Before Cave could even process what the other person had said, their lips had already touched. Due to shock, he wasn't able to react to the sudden contact. The person licked his bottom lip and Cave couldn't help but tremble.

The person's hand roamed inside Cave's hoodie. He wanted to block it, but he felt soft all over. When his nipple was pinched, a surprised gasp escaped from his lips. The person didn't waste this opportunity to infiltrate his mouth with his tongue.

His mouth tasted like mint candy, and Cave couldn't help but savor it. The person's hand traveled to Cave's back, exposing it to the cold night air. He shivered and the person noticed this. Without breaking the hot kiss, the person tucked the hem of the hoodie into Cave's jeans, not allowing the cold air to make the black-haired boy uncomfortable.

Since both of them needed to breathe, the hot kiss was broken, leaving a trail of saliva. They were both panting hard, as if they had been chased by a dangerous animal. But the thing that was truly dangerous at the moment was the raging desire in their hearts.

"W... what just...happened?" Cave asked, still panting a little and his mind spiraling.

"We shared a wonderful kiss," the person answered with an equal amount of shyness that Cave feels. Both of them were blushing hard, but it was especially prominent for Cave since his skin is pale.

Before he could fathom what he was doing, Cave was already leaning in for another kiss. The person noticed this and a small smile appeared on his lips. Both of their tongues danced gleefully with each other. It was intense and incredibly wonderful. They grabbed each other's clothes as if the other would disappear if they didn't.

His mouth feels warm and his tongue is thick and slick,' the person thought.

'This... feels good. It feels like I'm being cared for by the way he kisses me,' Cave thought. 'He's making me melt.'

Their kiss was halted when Cave suddenly stood up. The boy was left on the ground, looking up at him, with desire dancing in his eyes. His lips were also moistened and a bit swollen from the kiss. Cave gulped at the sight.

"W-we should stop," he said, balling his fists to his side to keep himself from doing things that he might regret later. Besides, he doesn't even know the guy; how reckless of him to do this with a stranger.

"But we're doing okay. You like the kiss and so do I. Why do we have to stop?" the person asked, looking longingly at Cave. His big blue eyes were sparkling under the bright moonlight.

"W...we don't even know each other's names. We're total strangers, yet we're kissing! In a hallway, nonetheless. A...and how are you even here? The guard would never let anyone in unless you live here o... or you showed proof that you know someone who lives here," he argued incredulously. His mind was a mess, really, but it was getting clearer now. But he still couldn't forget about the hot kiss. And just like the hot kiss he experienced earlier, it was also the first time that he said so many words in a conversation. This person was making him talk so much.

The person also stood up. That's when Cave realized that the other person was smaller than him by about two inches.

"To put your mind at ease, I told the guard that I know someone here. He did not inquire anymore and let me in. I didn't force my way in here, rest assured. And about the kissing..." The boy in front of him blushed again, which made him blush in turn as well. "...well, the k...kiss was good, but since you're concerned about us being mere strangers, we can start by knowing each other's names. What do you think?"

They both stared into each other's eyes, trying to discern what the other might be thinking at the moment.

"Then... what's your name?" Cave asked. His voice was serious yet he couldn't hide his excitement from the person in front of him. But before he could hear his answer, he felt a sudden pain in his head.

The person kept calling out to him, but he could no longer hear. He could only see his mouth move. It was such a shame that the last thing he saw was the bright blue eyes, staring at him, filled with worry.
