Chapter 20: Chapter Twenty

Six years ago.

"Hi I'm Mild. Off's fiancee."

Off immediately covered Mild's mouth in the hopes of stopping her from blabbering more information.

"HA! HA! HA! You're such a joker Mild. Gun, this is Mild, my childhood friend. She just transferred here. Don't mind her. She likes to crack jokes a lot."

"Nice to meet you Mild."

Gun smiled, oblivious of the stares Off had been giving Mild.

"Why don't you go to your building now, Mild. Classes are about to start," Off said in a low tone.

Off tried to shoo Mild away in the most subtle way while stealing glances at Gun who had an innocent smile on his face.

"Go with me then. Please?"

Off looked at Gun like he was waiting for Gun to say something.

"Send her first Off. She might get lost on her way. We'll wait for you in the classroom."

"I'll be quick," Off replied as he dragged Mild away from the rest of the group, his steps getting bigger and faster as he kept reminding himself to keep calm.

"Don't you ever do it again, Mild or I'll forget we're actually childhood friends to begin with," Off said with clenched teeth as she dragged Mild while she struggled to keep up with Off's fast pace.

"Wait, can you slow down. You're literally dragging me!"

Off harshly let go of Mild's arm and abruptly faced her. His face was red because of the anger he was trying to keep within.

"You can go on with your delusion about us getting married but you can never expect me to participate in this bullshit."

"I still have my cards against you," Mild singsonged as she waved her phone in front of him.

"Oh this?" Off grabbed Mild's phone without a warning and threw it as hard as he could on the nearby wall. The phone hit the wall with a loud sound before its parts fell on the ground.

"What the fuck??! Hey! Are you crazy! I just bought that phone you idiot! I haven't even backed up my photos from my latest trip!"

"Much better then. I think you're old enough to ask for directions to your building. See you never then."

Off waved his hand in dismissal before walking away, leaving Mild who was bawling her eyes out at the sight of her dilapidated phone.

"How am I supposed to update my Ig feed you bastard!"

———

Off peeked through the window and stared at Gun who was happily chitchatting with Tay and Arm. He took a deep breath to compose himself. He didn't want Gun to notice that something was wrong. He brushed his hair before stepping inside the room while wearing the brightest smile he could ever plaster on his face.

"P'Off you're here already? So how was Mild? " Gun turned to him as he approached his chair.

"Oh she's fine. By the way what are you talking about?"

"Oh we're talking about going to the beach this weekend to celebrate Gun's scholarship and of course to unwind," Arm flailed his arms as he performed a mini dance.

"Oh, that's great!" Off looked at Tay who didn't speak a word after he came.

"Are you okay, P?" Gun furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at Off whose expression was quite troubled.

"Of-of course. Why?"

"Never mind. By the way, can I sleep in your condo tonight?" Gun said in a low voice so as not to gain attention from their classmates.

"Why?"

"I just want to. And it's been a while since I stayed with you, so please?"

Gun pouted his lips as he showed Off his puppy eyes. Off laughed and patted Gun's head. He always had his way of getting his things with just being the cute small bean that he was already.

"Of course."

Off bit the insides of his cheeks as he uttered a silent prayer, hoping that Mild wouldn't show up later in his unit.

Dad

Son, come home this weekend and bring Mild with you.

"Who's that?"

Off quickly hid his phone as Gun approached him. They just arrived in his condo after finishing some requirements in their major.

"Nothing, just some alert message. So what are you cooking?" Off slowly dragged Gun back to the kitchen.

"Just stir-fried vegetables since I haven't seen you eat them," Gun started washing the vegetables in the sink.

Off chuckled. He had never been fond of vegetables but since Gun was the one cooking, he'd definitely eat them.

He watched as Gun moved across the kitchen, chopping the vegetables and putting them in the pan while slightly complaining on how his kitchen lacked some condiments.

He approached Gun from the back and hugged him, snaking his arms around his waist while placing his head on the nook of Gun's neck.

"I love you," he murmured while slowly tightening his hold on his waist.

"Is everything alright?"

"Yeah. I just wanna be with you all the time."

"Oh come on. You're so cheesy. We're literally together every day."

Instead of replying, Off just placed butterfly kisses on Gun's exposed shoulder as his shirt slipped off while the latter continued with his cooking.

"The food's almost done. You can go sit there by the table."

Off slowly turned Gun around and directly claimed his lips as he reached for the stove and turned it off.

"Hmm. Wait P'. The food—"

But Off didn't wanna waste a moment and continued claiming Gun's lips, slightly sucking his plump lower lip while his hands started moving under Gun's shirt, slowly caressing his stomach before touching his taut nipples. He brushed his tongue on his lips signifying that he wanna enter and Gun didn't disappoint him as he opened his mouth and welcomed Off's tongue. Gun let out a soft moan as Off started caressing his back and then slightly pinched his nipples. Off then guided Gun into the kitchen counter without breaking the kiss and slowly placed the latter on the table. His lips then left Gun's and started going down to his neck while gently sucking on it. He was sure it would leave a mark but he didn't care anymore. He was on the height of his desire that all he could ever think of was putting his hands all over Gun. He then took off Gun's shirt and started kissing his chest slowly going down to his stomach. Gun grabbed his hair as he put one of his nipples in his mouth and gently tugged on it with his teeth.

"Hnnnng. P'Oooff."

Off went back to kissing Gun's lips as his hands unzip the latter's pants, slightly brushing his hand on his growing length. He could feel his length growing too and it was aching to be released but he wanted to satisfy Gun first. He then put his hands inside his pants to which Gun responded with a long moan. He started touching Gun's bulge above the underwear and he could feel that he was already wet.

"P'Ooff. Shiiit. Hhnnggg."

Gun grabbed his hair as he fully removed his pants and underwear making Gun fully naked in front of him while sitting on the kitchen counter. He started kissing him again as his hands continued touching Gun below.

"Hmmmm. Guuun."

"Hhhnngg. P'Oooofff."

He was about to make Gun lie down on the kitchen counter when they both heard a loud crash in the living room followed by footsteps and the closing of the door.

Newwiee

P'Off can you come over? Gun's so drunk and JJ's not answering his phone. We're at The Groove.

Off: Coming

Off pocketed his phone and turned off his computer. It was already 11:30 in the evening and he decided to work overtime on purpose to avoid being alone with Gun in his unit. Mild had already transferred to hers and he didn't wanna be left alone in the same space with him or else he would lose his mind and he might do something that he'd regret considering that Gun already had a boyfriend.

But just his luck, he had to fetch him from the bar and probably take care of him the whole night.

He grabbed his keys and bag from the table and went to the elevator.

1 message received:

Newwie: Okay P' but can you please hurry. Gun's literally throwing himself to every guy he bumps into and I can't control him anymore.

"Shit. They better not lay a hand on him or they're in for a goddamn fight."

———

Off was welcomed by a loud noise from the music and the people talking and screaming. He had learned to love clubs and partying since it was his way of forgetting his heartache for Gun but knowing that Gun was all night partying and getting drunk with so many possible predators around made him wanna shut down every club in the area.

He squinted his eyes as he scanned the area. The lights were blinding but it didn't stop him from looking for the small guy. He moved among the crowd, slightly brushing off the girls who were purposely touching him. He was about to text New when someone bumped him.

"Oh sorry buddy."

The guy was slightly taller than Off but his height was the least of his concern as his eyes landed on the person he was hugging.

"Hmmm. P' Why dhid you sthop dhanshing."

Off's reddened in anger as he watched Gun lift his head to ask the guy. He quickly grabbed Gun towards him. He felt Gun hugged him tightly.

"Hmmmm. Who are yhou? Yhou smhell like mhy firsht love," Gun sniffed Off's shirt before placing his head on the latter's chest.

"Wait. Who the fuck are you? Can you just give me back my partner?!" The guy shouted over the music while aiming to grab Gun from him but Off was quick to dodge the guy's hand.

"What fucking partner are you talking about?"

"Hey if you wanna hook up with somebody, go look for yours. I'm fucking that guy tonight!"

Off lost his patience and was about to punch the guy when he felt Gun's arms tightly wrapped around his waist.

"Hmm.. Can whe go out already? The mushic's hurting mhy head."

"Off! Thank goodness you found him! Someone just grabbed him out of nowhere and I lost them in the middle of the crowd!" New who just came wiped the sweat on his face while looking at Gun who was now sleeping soundly.

"Hey we're not yet done talking!" The guy earlier shouted which caused some to look their way.

"You're not going anywhere with my husband," Off said with emphasis as he swung Gun's arm aroung his neck and carried him in his arms.

"Thanks for coming, P. I don't know who else to call and JJ's unreachable," New said as he followed Off into the parking lot. Off then placed Gun in the passenger seat and fastened his seatbelt.

"It's alright. Actually, it's a great thing you called me. Thanks New."

"I think you should talk when he's sober. I'm not putting my nose into your matters, okay, but he kept mentioning your name earlier. And I guess you need to sort things out. Uhm. I gotta go. Tay's already looking for me."

"Yeah. Thanks again, New."

He immediately went inside the car to check on Gun. When he saw that he was still asleep, he quickly turned on the engine and started driving.

"Wa-water."

Off quickly parked his car on the roadside and reached his bag to get the water bottle he always carried with him. He then helped Gun drink water while slowly caressing his back.

"Are you alright?"

Gun turned to him with hooded eyes and then flashed a smile.

"Hmm.. Off why are you even in my dreams huh?"

Off just smiled and cupped Gun's face while gently stroking his thumbs on his cheeks.

"You're not dreaming. I'm really here."

"If you're real...then kiss me."

Off was stunned for a moment for he didn't expect those words from Gun. He didn't wanna take advantage of him. He was drunk and he wasn't even aware of what he was doing.

"Just go back to sleep okay? I'm bringing you home."

He caressed his cheeks one last time before letting go of his face.

But before he could even hold the steering wheel, Gun grabbed his face and kissed him fully on the lips.

(Sory for the late update my loves. Just got busy with work. Stay safe. 💚)
