Chapter 22 - Smoke Break

Kai and Liam stood out back by the dumpsters. It was not technically a spot for a smoke break, as noted by the "no smoking" signs plastered to the side of the building. The main management staff were never in the building at night, so Kai was able to get away with a lot.

It also helped that while Brian was in nursing school, he worked on the floor as a CNA under Kai, so it was more of a thing where the blonde could get away with most anything. Plus, it helped that Kai had a lot of dirt on Brian, so it was more of a situation where the supervisor wouldn't say a word as long as Kai did the same.

Kai leaned against the wall as he watched Liam light a cigarette. His green eyes were fixated on the taller man, taking in his every move. Somehow, he even made something as deadly as smoking cigarettes look sexy.

Liam took a puff of the cigarette and then looked over toward Kai. "Want to hit it?"

Kai recoiled a bit and shook his head. "Uh, not really. But I have always been curious."

Liam walked up to Kai and put an arm around the blonde's shoulders. He held the end of the cigarette up to Kai's lips. 

"Suck it in," Liam chuckled.

"God!" Kai frowned. "It smells awful."

Kai furrowed his brows. He couldn't believe he had a cigarette in his mouth. He felt like the dark-haired man could get him to do anything, and he would agree. Anything.

Yes. Anything.

Even puff on a cancer stick.

He closed his eyes and sucked on the end next to his mouth. He immediately felt the thick, heavy smoke hit the back of his throat. The taste was worse than the smell. It was repulsive. It tasted just like it smelled, but worse. He felt he was going to be sick.

He coughed.

He kneeled over with his hands on his knees and coughed some more. He couldn't stop coughing.

"I'm dying."

At some point, Liam had pulled out his phone and started recording Kai's suffering.

"Baby's first cigarette," Liam hummed to the camera.

"Dick," Kai scoffed as he stood up. "You better delete that."

"Never," Liam whistled, taking a puff off the cigarette as he held his phone above his head.

"Asshole."

Kai walked up in front of Liam and frowned up at him. He frowned and got onto his tiptoes, attempting to take the phone.

Liam was too tall.

"Are you going to scale me?" Liam teased. "You want a ride on Mount Liam?"

Kai stopped and looked him in the eye. He puffed out his cheeks and crossed his arms against his chest.

The audacity.

"What?" Liam asked with a raised brow. "Are you angry?"

"Obviously," Kai said, turning his head and frowning. "You almost killed me with that thing."

"Cute."

"My head feels funny," Kai groaned.

Kai felt light-headed and dizzy. He couldn't believe one puff of a cigarette would have that effect. It made him wonder why people smoked. It wasn't a pleasant sensation.

"You weren't supposed to suck the smoke in so deep," Liam chuckled. "That was dumb."

"You didn't mention that."

"Liam, you're not supposed to be smoking out here." Brian's voice could be heard approaching.

Brian walked up next to them with a grin on his face. He looked at Kai. Who looked distressed, and then back at Liam.

"Are you torturing your nurse?" Brian asked.

"Yeah?" Liam questioned. "He loves it."

"Just don't leave the butts on the ground," Brian instructed.

Kai could smell the familiar scent on Brian. Of course. He smelled of dank weed. Per usual. Nothing was new. Every weekend was 4/20 ar Shady Pines.

"Did you guys get Jack clean?" Brian asked.

"Yeah," Kai answered as he relaxed his posture. "He said he was going to have the devil eat my dick."

Brian laughed and shook his head. "Of course he did."

"Can I be the devil?" Liam smirked in Kai's direction. "I want to be the devil in that scenario."

Kai just stared up at him, frowning. 

Liam put out his cigarette. "Hey. Brian. Guess what?"

"What?"

"Kai smoked," Liam laughed.

"Fuck off," Kai sighed. 

"Kai… smoked?" Brian questioned.

Liam pulled up the video and showed it to Brian. Both men laughed at the blonde's suffering. It seemed they were having a field day with Kai's suffering.

"You guys suck," Kai said, pouting.

Liam hummed innocently as Brian opened the door to go inside. "Hurry up, guys. It's almost nine. If you need me, I'll be in my office."

"Of course," Kai mumbled as he watched Brian go inside.

Of course, he was going straight to his office. To his office to spend the next hour doing nothing before he clocked out. Kai wished he could be paid to do nothing. 

Liam looked at Kai. "You know I'm just teasing, right?"

Kai frowned again.

Liam reached over and brushed Kai's bangs out of his face. "You know I love you."

Liam said it with a teasing tone, but it still made him blush. In response, Liam placed his hand over his mouth and grinned, as he had become embarrassed that he had said that. It was a normal joke, but he felt it may have had a bit more meaning in regards to Kai.

The taller man turned his head and scratched the side of his face. He hadn't meant for Kai to take it seriously, but he wasn't about to correct himself when it made the blonde blush like that.

Kai's voice was muffled, but Liam could make out what he had said.

"You can kiss me. Now. Please."

Liam pushed Kai back up against the wall of the facility. The cold bricks rubbed against Kai's back as he was pushed up against the wall. Liam was pressed against him, his hands wandering under Kai's scrub shirt. 

Their bodies pressed together. They were both hungry for each other's touch. It was magical for Kai. He didn't know he could actually feel such a deep arousal for another human.

It was a good thing they were behind the dumpsters; otherwise, they would've had to explain to everyone why they were practically trying to swallow each other's faces.

Kai's lips were red and puffy, and Liam's were bruised. The blonde was glad they hadn't been caught. He knew the residents would have a field day, if not tease the two of them mercilessly.

They had no idea. The nurse was up to no good outside the building. 

They were too busy sucking each other's faces to notice Brian coming outside. He looked over to see where the two men were. He wondered why they hadn't come back in so he had come out to look for them.

Unlike the rest of the building, Brian had no idea the two were an actual thing, so it came as a shock to see Kai pressed up against the wall behind the dumpster and being groped. 

To be fair, Kai only expected a quick peck. He didn't think he was going to get groped behind a nasty dumpster.

"Liam? Kai?" Brian asked, his voice low.

He noticed them making out and shook his head. Two men were hiding behind a dumpster with their bodies smashed together.

"Jesus Christ," Brian mumbled.

He walked over and tapped Kai's shoulder. The younger man pulled back, startled. He knew it was a bad idea to take a smoke break with Liam.

"Fuck," Kai gasped.

"Sorry," Brian apologized. "But, uh, come on, guys. Jack's family is going to get here soon. No fucking on the job."

Kai regained his composure and started to laugh. Rather, he was giggling. He never thought he would ever be behind a pair of smelly dumpsters at work making out with his boyfriend.

Life was really weird.

"Hey, Brian," Liam greeted.

"I thought you guys were supposed to be working," Brian scolded.

"We are," Liam stated.

"You're not," Brian sighed.

"Sorry, Brian." Kai frowned.

"Come inside."

"Yes, dad," Liam groaned.

"Liam," Brian warned.

"Fine," he sighed.

Liam walked inside, followed by Kai and Brian.

"Do I have to tell you not to fuck on the job?" Brian asked.

"Probably," Kai mumbled.

"Don't worry," Liam grinned. "We would never do that."

Brian sighed and shook his head. "Don't lie to me."

"We weren't," Liam insisted.

"Liam!" Kai glared.

"I mean, not yet," he laughed.

"Jesus, you're so immature," Kai stated.

"What's the big deal?" Liam asked.

"You know I'm a virgin." Kai frowned.

"And you know I'm joking," Liam sighed.

"Whatever," Kai mumbled.

"Alright," Brian shrugged. "Just no fucking on the job. Are we cool?"

"Sure," Liam laughed.

Brian, of course, went straight back to his office. Once he did, the two men walked down to their hall. As they walked, Liam looked at Kai and smirked.

"What?" Kai asked as he met his gaze.

"You want more," Liam grinned.

Kai became flustered by the statement. He obviously enjoyed the short make out session, but he didn't like that Liam felt the need to embarrass him by pointing it out. 

"Shut up," Kai mumbled.
