Chapter Fifteen

Dome

After assuring that Chen was finally okay, Dome tucked her in bed before slipping on his own room. His mind was still fixated on what happened, what he had said, why he picked out his unexplainable feelings for Pavel. He knew for sure that Pavel was stunned by his action.

But even himself didn't understand what's running through his mind.

His mind wandered at the first time they met. Both of them are being jockered with each other. Up to that point they became roommates. Him being called mommy by Pavel's niece. And when things get awkward between them.

'Do I grow feelings on him?'

But no way! Pavel is a guy. A guy likes having things between his legs.

'Love has no gender. If you felt it, you felt it.' He remembered what his grandma said to him.

Then a sudden realization occured on him. His eyes went wider, his body was shaking, heart beats racing. He clenched his chest when his heart beat faster when he thought of Pavel.

"No way!" He snorted. Throwing his face on the pillow, punching it at the same time.

'Yes way. There's nothing wrong with risking for love. If you don't take a risk, then you won't find real love. Go for it, fight for it. We only live once.' He can hear his grandma on his mind, scolding him.

"Arg! Why me?" He said, prolonging the word 'me'.

'Because it was fated to you. Trust yourself. Su su na!' The voice inside himself cheered him up.

After an hour, he finds himself searching for some information about Pavel through online. Well, there was really nothing, just his basic information. But what caught his attention was the article in their school newspaper. It said that Pavel is the head hazer of their department, has a strong personality, a little patient on everything, and was afraid of many students in their university. It also stated that Pavel didn't care much about others except his two buddies. The article was just made for entertainment in their university but he can say that they were really true.

"But why is his action towards me different? He acted like a child in front of me!" He screamed in his mind.

He chuckled when he remembered how childish Pavel was. Why the hell that article didn't know about that?

He was about to log out when their online newspaper posted a new article. He almost lost his breath reading it.

HEAD HAZER, PAVEL JUTARAPOOM WITH HIS HUSBAND AND DAUGHTER. Read the article below.

That was the fucking headline he just read. Below the headline was their photo. Chen was smiling lively between them, her hands were holding both of theirs. It was the time when Chen begged him to buy burgers outside. And what was more shocking was that Pavel was smiling too, looking at him like he was starstruck.

His head spun around. He instantly felt a headache seeing the article.

His heart was like running for its life. He shoved his head again into the pillow. After deciding what to do, he got up and headed to the door. He almost stumbled back when he opened the door, Pavel was there. Looks like about to knock. He was catching his breath heavily. 'Did we have the same realization? Did he think about it too?'

The tension between them passed through to every corner of the room. Him, eyeing Pavel with surprise and Pavel looking at him unexplainable emotion on his face. They both stared at each other, not looking away. Dome gulped, noticing how awkward the situation they're in.

He cleared his throat and looked away first. "What are you doing here?" He tried to sound calm.

Pavel scratched his nape. He noticed how flushed his face was. "Ahm, well...can you have a coffee with me?" Pavel said, flashing a smug smile.

He raised his eyebrows. 'Really, coffee?'

"Thanks but I decline. I can't sleep when I drink coffee at night." He wondered why with the sudden offer.

He made a mistake when he looked straight at his eyes. His captivating eyes were like digging his system. All the things said in the article flashed in his mind while looking at him. His heart beats unusually again. 'Do I really have feelings for him?' He didn't know what had gotten to him, he only wanted to answer his own question. He quickly pushed his body towards Pavel, smashing his lips at him. He can feel how Pavel tensed. At first, he only needed to answer his question. The peck kiss turned to a real kiss when he moved his lips on him. He clenched his fist on the tan man's shirt, pushing him more on his body.

Dome can taste mint and sweet on Pavel's lips. He has soft lips that he wants to devour. In a second, Pavel kissed him back, his lips crashing on him forcefully stating the dominance. It may have taken a minute when Pavel pushed backward. Dome groaned with the sudden disappearance of heat nibbling on his lips.

He was looking up to Pavel who was staring at him with disbelief and...lust?

Before he could do anything more, Pavel brushed his own hair. Then he looked down again. His eyes were saying something he can't decipher. They just stared at each other not saying anything, maybe just feeling the sexual tension. Dome bit his lips, flushed cheeks and dreamy eyes. He unconsciously licked his lips and Pavel gulped.

"I'll have a coffee-"

"Let's have a coff-"

Both were stunned. Pavel scratched his nape and grin. "Okay. Coffee, I guess?" He asked, stuttering.

Dome barely heard him but nodded with a shame. 'I make out with my dorm mate, for Pete's sake!'

Not asking to each other what the fuck just had happened, they both headed to the kitchen. Dome initiated to make coffee. He can feel the following gaze of Pavel. He almost spilled the coffee when he turned around and saw how near Pavel was. The tan man was staring at him, he looked like he wanted to eat him alive.

Dome gulped one more time. "L-Let me just put this to the table," he said. But Pavel picked the cups of coffee and put it on the counter behind them.

"W-What?" He cursed himself with his stuttered voice.

He yelped when Pavel pushed him on the counter and leaned forward to his face. Their nose touching each other together with their foreheads. His mouth went wider because Pavel started to shove his lips on him...again. With too much force, his lips feel like ripping apart. He groaned a little with that. After a second, he's kissing him back with the same force, fighting for dominance. But Pavel didn't let him, his hands caressed his cheeks and pinched that made his lips open. Hot tongue wandered inside his mouth, like looking for something there.

He pulled away for a second to gasp for air. He looked up on Pavel, and like him, he was gasping for air too. He was about to pull away for real but Pavel catched his nape quickly and ruffled his hair with another hand. Soft, sweet and gentle lips were pulling out his breath once again.

"Wait! I'm not gay!" He snapped when he smacked his chest.

"Neither am I. And I don't care." Pavel answered.
