Future Past

Chapter 9: It's all come to this

It was another day that Derek and Blake met after their last encounter a month ago. Derek didn't want to see his mug, but what could he do? He got to the job, now he had to play the big game. Easy and slow. He felt like some kind of cockroach.

"So, what's the deal now?" asked Derek, the handsome guy in front of him, who was in his suit and ready to work.

"Mate, aren't you really bad at first impressions?" laughed Blake at him, with a cheery smile.

"I don't know what you are talking about, but whatever it is, I don't wanna hear it." you could see a little pain in his eyes.

"You old chap, you will see soon enough." he was mocking him already and that was pissing Derek off.

"Okay, sure, whatever. Now please, for God's sake, show me how to work that new toy you got me. Is it a phone?" he was frustrated, curious and in a state that he could barely recognize himself.

"Nah mate, it's just a Tamagotchi, don't you know, a little virtual Pet toy. Didn't you have one of those as a kid? Are you secretly an Alien." he was totally messing with the other guy, but was enjoying it a bit too much. For the rest of their walk, moments after, he gave him the toy. And you could've seen a big smile on his now brightly looking face. 'He looked kind of cute when you got to know him.' thought Derek to himself, and pushed the guy to the side, like they were little kids. "Am I starting to brush on you yet?" he asked with a hint of something diry in his voice.

"Nah, no, never, what do you think of me? And what if I didn't know what it was? Could you just stop smiling, you freak, and tell me where are we headed to?" it was a simple question, but on the other hand, a whole month with him was like a pain in the butt, but both of them somehow clicked. People won't believe it if they tell them that they had an interesting time together. Bonding and such. Like little kids playing a spy game.

"Let me just tell you this. We are going to meet Vik after midnight, but till the time passes I wanted to be real with you." Somehow his eyes were cold and straight like a guy looking at his prey. Yes, they both genuinely bonded, but was it that time already when they were both really alone, together? "I want to be straight with you, I like you my man, I like your whole mysterious vibe the moment I locked eyes with you. I know you probably don't feel the same. And this whole situation is not good for you, or me either, but I wanted to get it out of my chest." Suddenly, the other guy just pushed him to the nearest wall and kissed him. Blake was shocked at that move and pushed back. "Whoa, whoa, slow down there tiger." and licked his lips with eyes full now with lust.

"You didn't expect that?" asked Derek with a smirk at him. You could've seen that it was all his work, and nobody pushed him, the straight male just wanted to have some fun too.
