Listen To The Compass Of Your Heart

Chapter 9

The next morning, Jake went jogging around the premises to exercise and stretch his limbs. After he jogged for about ten minutes, he rested under the tree and sat there leaning his back against it. Jake shut his eyes and inhaled the fresh morning air but was instantly alert when he heard footsteps coming in his direction. Jake opened his eyes and saw Aiden standing– towering before him.

"Can I sit here? Aiden pointed beside Jake

"Of course, do as you please!" Jake replied and Aiden sat beside him.

"Doctor Ellis, can we talk?" Jake frowned at how distant Aiden's words are. Jake was already used to Aiden calling him Jake, hearing Aiden calling him by his job title seemed very distant and odd.

"Yeah, sure, Captain Khan," Jake replied in the same professional manner. Aiden felt a pang in his heart. Suddenly, they become foreign to each other again. But Aiden has already decided.

"About yesterday, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to eavesdrop, it's just–"

"Wait… wait, wait– " Jake stopped Aiden from talking. "You said eavesdrop? Have you been eavesdropping there while I was talking with my boy– with Brent?!" Jake almost yelled.

"I didn't mean to, please hear me out first."

"Huh, seriously?" Jake huffed an air. "You can just leave if you heard I am talking with someone, why do you have to eavesdrop?" Where is my privacy here?!" Jake rumbled and got up, he was leaving but Aiden held his hand.

"Could you listen to me, first?" Aiden gets up as well and goes in front of Jake.

"I don't want to! Let go of my hand!" Jake looked away. He truly felt disrespected by Aiden disregarding his privacy.

"I'm very sorry, but please Doctor Ellis, hear me out." Aiden let go of Jake's hand that he didn't notice he was holding it a bit too tight. Jake sighed, calming himself.

"Alright, speak!" Jake crossed his arms.

"That place is dangerous, alright? I was just going to tell you to get down from there. And, I'm very, very sorry for yelling at you. I'm sorry for scaring you... I truly am. Please, don't avoid me like a plague. I-I- I'm just not in the weather yesterday. Forgive me, Doctor Ellis," explained Aiden with profound sincerity. "I'm sorry for invading your privacy, It will never happen again."

Jake sighed and pouted his lips. His heart softened at the sight of Aiden's gloomy face.

"Alright, apology accepted," Jake extends his hand for a shake as a sign of their peace. Aiden's face instantly brightened and he gladly accepted Jake's hand. Aiden pressed it gently before pulling Jake for a tight hug. Jake was bewildered yet returned the hug and patted Aiden's back.

"A friendly hug, yeah just a friendly hug." Jake thought.

"Thank you, thank you," mumbles Aiden before letting go of Jake. Jake narrowed his eyes.

"Are you that happy? He asked in amusement, the great Captain Khan looks like a puppy wagging his tail while smiling like an i***t.

"Yeah, thank you for accepting my apology."

"Uhm, Jake," Aiden was hesitant.

"What?" Replied Jake, narrowing his eyes.

"Are you afraid of bugs? You know like, am...caterpillar?" Asked Aiden warily

"Yeah, a lot! I'm telling you, Aiden; I almost died because of that little monster. Grrrr!!!" Jake remarked with matching shivers. "Why did you ask?"

Aiden gulped hard anxiously. "Okay, I understand, could you close your eyes and please don't move," he said but Jake began to panic.

"W-Why?" He stuttered

"Just do as I say," Jake was confused and he followed Aiden's eyes who darted at his shoulder.

"Waaaaaaahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!...." Jake shouted at the top of his lungs and ran around. Jumping and wiggling his shoulder. Aiden ran after him and flicked the caterpillar away. Nonetheless, Jake won't stop jumping and shouting, earning everyone's attention. He was scared to death. He hates bugs the most.

"What was that? Are they fighting? Why is Doctor Ellis shouting? What did the captain do to him?" Murmurs by the soldiers who were passing by as they did their morning jogs.

"Is it gone? Is it gone? Ahhh!!!" Jake was still shouting when he stepped on something slimy and wiggly.

"Aahhhh!!!!!!!!!..." Jake's soul left his body and jumped at Aiden. Coiling his legs around Aiden's waist and wrapped his arms around Aiden's neck as he trembles terribly. He stepped on a worm that according to him is a giant slimy monster. Jake sobs at Aiden's crook, he doesn't care about the surroundings any more. He was scared and Aiden was the only one he could rely on at the moment. He clutched onto Aiden as if Aiden is his only life support. He is almost choking Aiden by how tight his arms coiled on him.

"Ssh, it's gone, no more bugs." Aiden patted his back while holding him firmly. He glared and motioned to the soldiers who swarmed around to disperse.

The soldiers left quietly leaving their captain alone with Jake. They were aware of how their captain treated the Doctor differently and knew how their Almighty captain was head over heels at the Doctor. But they remained quiet and better zipped their mouths. They were happy for him.

"I think they're good now," Said Ashlan caressing his jaw.

"Yeah," replied Nigel." They were watching them not far leaning against the side of the army jeep.

"So what about us, Sergeant? Are we good now?" Nigel winked at Ashlan lasciviously.

"We're too good, baby." Ashlan pulled Nigel on the waist pressing against him before claiming his lips and nibbling the pair of Nigel's chewy ang tasty lips. Nigel deepened the kiss wrapping his arms around Ashlan whilst their tongues were clashing inside their mouths.

Nigel pushed Ashlan a little before their short make-out turned into something more intense right at this early morning. He licked the thread of slobbers connecting their mouths and pecked a very quick kiss.

"See you later baby," Nigel let go but Ashlan pulled him once more. Ashlan licked and suckled Nigel's lips once again before letting him go.

"You're so delicious, baby!" Said Ashlan and Nigel smirked.

"I know right!" Nigel groped Ashlan's pulsating bulge and winked at him before leaving. Take care of it first. Nigel hurriedly jogs leaving Ashlan with a throbbing hard shaft.

"What a naughty little kitten," Ashlan shook his head and headed to the nearest restroom to tame his little buddy.

Ashlan and Nigel had no formal relationship, It just started with a simple teasing and purely s****l cravings and lust.

They have been doing s*x for the past month. They're just enjoying each other's company while fulfilling their s****l needs without emotional attachment.

Ashlan knows very well that this kind of relationship will never be put into a serious one. His family is against homosexuality and a big opposer of LGBT. And aside from that, the one thing that Ashlan is sure of is Nigel will eventually leave once their medical mission is over.

Ashlan was very sure that he wouldn't harbor any emotional feelings toward Nigel. That's what he thought. But lately, Ashlan began to miss Nigel's warmth and he's started to get sour feelings every time someone acts so sweet towards him.

"Ngh! s**t!" Ashlan moaned as he squirted his loads into the toilet bowl. "I'm crazy! You're crazy! f**k! Sergeant Ashlan Ozarks!" Ashlan mocks himself in the toilet. The sight of Nigel's lewd messy face, sweaty and sexy body whilst moaning and chanting his name beneath him because of pleasure were so vivid in his mind. Made him horny and wanted to f**k Nigel until they both were satisfied.
