Chapter 18 - Evening

The rest of the trip to the zoo went smoothly enough. Sure, both Mika and Liam restlessly teased him for the rest of the day, but that was about what he had expected. 

Kai decided he would think twice about going anywhere with Liam when Mika was around. She was just too embarrassing.

She dropped the two of them off in front of Kai's apartment building. It was already getting late, and she needed to get Michael to bed.

"See you two later," Mika grinned.

"Bye, Uncle Kai," Michael waved from the back seat. "Bye, vampire."

Kai snickered. It seemed Michael still, for some reason, thought Liam was a vampire. He wasn't sure where he had gotten the idea, but it was amusing.

"I told you I'm not a vampire, kid," Liam sighed and waved back.

"Fine," Michael said with a disappointed tone.

"He really wishes you were," Mika chucked. "Maybe you should be a vampire for Halloween."

"I'll think about it," Liam stayed, thinking it wasn't a half bad idea.

Mika waved and then backed out. She almost ran over a bush as she backed out. She had always been a terrible driver. She needed glasses or contacts, but she refused to wear either.

Kai was glad they didn't crash on the way to or back from the Zoo.

Liam looked at Kai and shrugged. He had a good time going out with them.

"You're right," Liam stated. "She's nuts."

Kai nodded in agreement and then walked up the steps leading to his apartment. He unlocked the door, and the two walked in.

"What do you want to do now?" Kai asked him.

"Dunno."

Liam flopped onto the sofa and pulled out his phone. He noticed a message from his mom asking where the hell he was, which made him laugh. He figured she was trying to get him back home to deal with the piles of trash in the garage. He ignored it.

"Anything but go home," Liam eventually responded. "I refuse to clean the garage. That's Larry's job."

"Maybe you should help?" Kai suggested. "You live there."

Liam sighed. "Hell no. I'm not helping Larry."

"But it would help your mom, wouldn't it?" Kai asked.

"Yeah," Liam admitted. "If she wanted me to help her, I would, as long as Larry is not around. He drinks too much and even pisses himself on occasion because he's too drunk to go to the bathroom."

Kai wondered what Larry had done to make Liam hate him so much. He figured he didn't have the right to push the subject. If he wanted to talk about it, he would. He hoped it was nothing too terrible. 

The blonde had experiences of his own with an alcoholic father. His mother was a saint who dealt with his father's bullshit for years. He was abusive. The abuse was not only toward her but also himself and Mika.

Kai took a seat next to him on the sofa. He turned on the television. He felt the mood in the room wasn't that great. He wanted to try to improve it.

"We could watch something," Kai suggested as he handed Liam the controller.

Liam shrugged and flipped through the channels. He eventually left it on a random channel with a comedy. He didn't usually watch too much television when he was at home. He wondered why Kai even had cable. It seemed like a relic from the past.

"Why do you have cable?" Liam grinned.

"It came as a package with the internet.

"But don't you spend more getting cable?" Liam asked.

"Uh, yeah," Kai admitted. "But there is an anime channel I like."

"Just use Crunchyroll?"

Kai scratched his head. "Maybe I should cancel it."

"Only old people still use cable."

"Asshole," Kai mumbled.

The two sat there for a few minutes watching the show. Kai leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes. He felt tired.

Kai was a bit overwhelmed from the day. They had been out at the zoo for much longer than he would have liked. He thought it would be a quick trip, but Michael wanted to see every animal. Which was fine, but he wasn't used to doing so much in one week.

Everything was so different. Instead of sitting alone and playing video games, he had spent the last two days with Liam. It kind of made life seem like an adventure to him. He had never had someone else in his life. He had a boyfriend. A sexy, tall, charming boyfriend. 

Thinking about it gave him goosebumps. It sent a chill through his body. His entire body was becoming hot.

Kai was thinking about it again.

Liam had said he was cute. Liam stated that he wanted to have sex. He knew Liam was experienced. Maybe it would be okay to just go along with it, even though he was scared.

Was he ready?

Probably not.

Liam looked at Kai. He knew the blonde was deep in thought. "What are you thinking about now?"

Kai was still feeling unsure about everything. He didn't know how to have sex with a man. The more he thought about it, the more he realized he needed to know. He knew vaguely how it worked. In theory, anyway. 

Liam could tell Kai was lost in thought. It seemed Kai was always lost in his own world. He wondered what exactly he was thinking, especially because he didn't respond to his question.

Kai looked somewhat concerned as he stared up at Liam. It made it difficult for the dark-haired man to decipher what was going through his mind.

Kai leaned over and Liam on the cheek.

"That's sudden," Liam stated.

"I guess," Kai agreed. "Thank you for coming with us today."

"I had fun," Liam grinned. "Did you have fun?"

"Yeah," Kai agreed. "I enjoyed it."

Liam moved closer and placed his hands on Kai's hips. He pulled him onto his lap. Kai gasped softly from the sudden movement. He had not been expecting that. He blushed once he was on the other man's lap. 

Liam couldn't help it. It felt nice having Kai on his lap. 

Kai could feel that Liam was hard. It was pressing against his ass, making him feel a bit nervous. He could tell Liam was turned on. Was it because of him? He second guessed himself. There was no way he had the power to turn anyone on.

Kai could feel his body tensing. He was nervous.

Liam looked up at him. He was worried that Kai didn't want him to touch him. He wasn't sure if it would be a good idea to do anything more. He knew the blonde was timid.

Kai's lips were slightly parted. Liam couldn't help but find him attractive. He was so easy to fall for. He was beautiful for a man and a bit clumsy, and he had a good heart. His ass looked good in both his scrubs and his jeans. Everything about him was attractive, even how shy he was.

He had the kind of face that made it difficult to tell if he was turned on or not. Liam assumed the latter. He was sure it wouldn't be that easy.

Liam reached up and gently brushed Kai's bangs out of his eyes. His hair was so soft, even though he had been bleaching it for a decade. It didn't seem damaged at all.

He leaned forward and kissed him. It was slow, gentle, and passionate.

He slid his hands down Kai's back and onto his hips. He held him firmly in place.

Kai wrapped his arms around Liam's neck. His fingertips gently brushed against the skin on the back of his neck, causing Liam to feel a shiver through his spine.

Kai pulled away from the kiss and looked down at Liam. His green eyes were full of lust. It made his heart race. It made Liam's heart race, too. He couldn't believe Kai was looking at him like that.

Kai was feeling very hot. Liam's lips were soft. The deeper kiss felt so good. It made him feel special. He felt wanted. He wanted to feel his lips some more.

"Kai," Liam began. "What's gotten into you?"

Kai frowned and looked at Liam. "N-Nothing."

"Nothing?"

"Shut up."

Kai leaned forward and kissed Liam again. His upper body pressed tightly against the dark-haired man's as they kissed. The blonde pressed his hips against Liam, causing the taller man to grind up into him. 

Kai could feel his body reacting to the movement.

Liam slipped his tongue into Kai's mouth. The blonde tasted sweet on his taste buds. He wanted to explore more of him. He assumed the rest of his body would taste just as good.

Kai moaned against Liam's lips. He didn't mean for such a sound to escape him. It just happened. This caused Kai to flush red and pull away.

As he did, he could feel Liam's phone vibrating from his pocket. The dark-haired man sighed and pulled it out. Of course he would be getting a phone call now.

"Hello," Liam said as he answered the phone.

Kai moved off his lap and sat next to him. He couldn't believe they had a full on Makeout session. He also couldn't believe he had enjoyed it so much.

The blonde traced his fingers against his own lips as he watched Liam stand and walk to the patio.

Apparently, the phone call was important. He wondered what kind of call he could be getting so late in the evening.
