"Babe, do you really want to leave? Can you endure us being apart?" said Brent whilst watching Jake stuffing his clothes in the luggage.
"Babe," Jake halted and held Brent's hand. "Babe, it's just one year, and you know this is my dream, right?" Jake caresses Brent's face.
"But babe, that place is very dangerous." Brent nuzzles his face into Jake's palm, placing it with feather kisses.
"Babe, the war has long been over. And besides, we have soldiers' escorts. You know this is my dream to help people that need help the most. You understand me, right?" Jake softly explained
"I know, babe, I'm just... I'm just scared and... One year is too long. I'm going to miss you. And, those rebels are still roaming out there. I'm just worried about you." Brent with pleading eyes hopes his lover will change his mind. Jake looked at his lover lovingly. Cupping Brent's face with his palm and leaning forward for a kiss. Brent closes his eyes indulging the taste of his lover's sweetest lips.
"It's just one year, babe." Jake after they halted the kiss. "It will pass without us noticing the time. And don't worry too much, I will take good care of myself. And besides, we can always see each other through video calls."
"But still–"
"Shh," Jake sealed his lover's lips with his. "Let's get married after my mission." Brent was stunned and couldn't believe his ears.
"A-are you serious?" Brent stuttered trying to steady his beating heart. Jake refused his marriage proposal before and told him he wasn't ready yet and that he wanted to fulfill his dream first before they got married. And now that Jake itself is proposing. Brent couldn't find a place to contain his overflowing happiness.
"I am sure," Jake smiled, he got up from the bed and took something from the nightstand drawer. It's a small red box.
"Will you marry me, Brent Lester?" Jake was on his knee holding an open red box with a couple of proposal rings on it. A couple of exquisitely crafted white gold proposal rings. Brent's eyes watered and lent his hand to Jake.
"Of course, I've long been willing to marry you." Brent is on the verge of crying in happiness. "It's supposed to be me kneeling before you." Jake slides the ring onto Brent's index finger.
"It doesn't matter who is proposing, the most important thing is our love for each other. Our willingness to be together forever." Jake bestows a kiss on the ring. Brent took the other ring and put it on Jake's index finger. "I love you so much, babe." Brent kisses Jake's ring. Brent guided Jake to get up whilst his lips crossed Jake's forearm bestowing feather kisses until they were both sitting on the edge of the bed.
Brent cupped Jake's face with his left hand whilst the other caressed Jake's thigh brushing and kneading it up and down. Their lips were linked with each other, kissing passionately. Brent's hand slipped inside the hem of Jake's jersey black shorts.
"Mm!" Jake moaned inside Brent's mouth when Brent caressed his semi-hardened bulge over his brief.
Brent continues stimulating Jake's bulge fondling over his now already drenched brief with his pre-c*m whilst slowly laying Jake on the bed until Brent was on top of Jake hovering over him. Brent discarded their clothes completely as they claimed each other over and over again quenching their thirst that they will surely be missing for a year or maybe for the last time.
Morning comes and Jake wakes up in the warm embrace of his lover's arms. The sun glints seeping through the window blinds shone on their nakedness and linked bodies radiating beautifully.
Jake traces his lover's forehead, eyebrows, nose bridge, and down to the slightly parted lips. As if he was memorizing his lover's contour. Jake smiles and presses their lips together. "I love you so much, babe." Jake mumbles.
"I love you too, so much." Jake was startled, he thought Brent was still in deep slumber. Brent deepened the kiss suckling Jake's bottom lip and swiftly slipped his tongue inside Jake's warm and wet cavern. Their tongues were clashing inside savoring their morning tastes.
"Knock, knock!!!" A loud bang on the door halted them.
"Jake, just in case you forgot your flight, I'm just reminding you!" It was Amber, Jake's sister shouted.
"I didn't, don't worry!" Replied Jake. "Okay, you two get down now, breakfast is ready! Amber shouted again before dashing back to the dining room.
"Babe, one minute," Brent pulled back Jake and kissed him again hungrily. "Babe, let's get up, now," Jake told him. Brent reluctantly let go of Jake. They go to the bathroom and shower together. Brent couldn't restrain the urge to claim his lover again.
"I love you, babe," mumbles Brent while pounding Jake beneath the warm shower. Jake's bareback was pressing against the cold glass wall whilst his legs were on Brent's arms lifting it. His arms were wrapped around Brent's neck for support while their lips linked no one wanted to let go and lose the warmth of each other as they were reaching their climax. The bathroom and bedroom filled their resonating moans and groans as they reached the peak of bliss.
Amber heaves a deep sigh outside of their room and then goes to her room. She was supposed to knock again but halted when she heard muffled sounds and moans coming from his brother and his lover's bedroom.
"It's your fault, babe. Now I have to hurry, the plane won't wait for me; you know?" Jake's litany while shoving pancakes into his mouth.
"Don't worry, I will take you to the airport." Brent winked at him.
"Thanks for the food Amber," Jake to Amber who's just quietly eating her breakfast.
"Mm," Amber hums and nods.
"I'll leave Brent in your care, watch him for me." Jake to his younger sister. Jake is two years older than Amber and is now living with him as she has just started her job at the same hospital as Jake as a medical intern whilst Jake is a two years general surgeon already at his very young age of 26. Their parents were living in the province managing their vegetables farm whilst Jake and Amber are living in the capital city which is closer to their jobs.
"I'm not a babysitter, duh!" Amber leered at his brother.
"Yeah, Amber is right, babe I'm not a baby. I can take care of myself. But if you're that worried, then you can stay and take care of me instead." Brent said jokingly but a part of him hoped that Jake will change his mind. He already misses him even though Jake is still in front of him.
"Babe," Jake lay his hand over Brent's, resting on the table and then fondling it with his thumb. His eyes gazed at Brent pleading for understanding.
"I'm just joking babe," Brent assured his lover.
