"So.....what
you and....Jess were arguing about?" Norman nervously asks flipping his hand through
Saffran's jet silk black locks. Saffran stiffens at the line. Surely he doesn't
wanna talk about this. And he speaks his mind. "I don't wanna talk about it."
Norman doesn't like the answer. He quietly gets up from his lap and heads
towards the kitchen. Saffran gets the hint. After spending so much time with
Norman he learnt all his behaviour. "I don't know why you get mad at the
stupidest things!" Saffran says in a slightly loud voice. Norman looks at him sceptically.
"Who told you I'm mad?" Saffran rolls his eyes. "your f*ckin behaviour." Norman
doesn't deny it. "Stop prying too much. You're annoying."
This ticks
Saffran. He was already in a bad mood now Norman is acting all moody in front
of him. He takes big steps towards Norman and before Norman could predict his
presence he pushes him hardly on the kitchen counter and kisses him roughly.
Norman instantly melts in his hot embrace. Saffran's one hand sneaks up to
Norman's nape of neck and the other hand squeezes his waist. He quickly shoves
his tongue inside Norman and rubs each and every corner. Norman moans out while grinding their lower
parts together.
Saffran
withdraws from the kiss and looks at him with lust filled eyes. But a loud
growl from Norman's stomach breaks the frenzy atmosphere. Norman blushes darkly
clutching onto his tummy while Saffran laughs. There was not much food in
Norman's house. His mom usually leaves early in the morning and Norman spends
his whole days eating instant noodles and bread. Sometimes if his mom gets
extra money aside from her salary she brings special food for Norman. Norman rummages
through the kitchen cabinet and brings out 2 cup noodles.
"I can't eat
that." Saffran deadpans at Norman making him confused. "I don't have anything
else aside from this." He says with an eye roll. "Let's order something."
Saffran suggest to which Norman nods. "I don't have money right now." He says
embarrassedly. "Huff. I'm paying." It hurts Norman. "You order for yourself.
I'll stick with it." Norman says while putting water on the stove for the
noodles.
"Stop being
stubborn. Also now that I see you've got thinner. If you keep eating only those
you'll be left with just bones." Saffran looks serious. Norman blushes as
Saffran is showing concern for him. He feels cared and special. "Okay." Saffran
smirks. "So what do you wanna eat?" He asks scrolling his phone. "Ummm...Sushi
and fried chicken!." Saffran looks taken aback from Norman's excitement. He
looks like a child getting his favourite candy. Somehow Saffran feels superior.
After half
an hour the food arrives. Saffran takes the food in the kitchen after paying
and places it on the dining table. Norman
widens his eyes as the food is too much. "Why did you order this much?" "Your
favourite food after all." Saffran shrugs. Norman feels so happy that he goes
towards him and kisses on his cheek. "Thank you." Saffran playfully rolls his
eyes and grabs by his waist before kissing on his lips. "Now let's eat."
It seems
like Saffran has no plan leaving the house before night. He is getting way too
comfortable in his house for which Norman is glad. Right now Saffran is laying
on Norman's bed and reading his comic book. Most of the comic books had gay
romance. Saffran had to dig a lot to find one straight romance comic. Norman is
sleeping peacefully beside him. Saffran easily gets bored and decides to take a
look around Norman's room.
He looks
around his bookshelf and study desk. There's not much in his room. Just a plain
bed, a book shelf, study desk, a wardrobe. Saffran rummages through the drawer
of the desk. Even though Norman is poor, he likes to keep everything clean.
Saffran really likes this side of him. While rummaging he finds an old
photobook in the corner. The photobook was cheap, torn in the corner but kept
with care. He opens the books and gets shocked seeing his and Norman's kindergarten
picture. Yes Norman and Saffran were friends from kindergarten. They used to go
the same kindergarten as Norman's parents were slightly better financially. In middle school he had to change location for his dad's work. For that they drifted apart a little. After Norman's dad died, Norman enrolled in with Saffran in the same high school with scholarship. In first some months their friendship was at it's peak but as soon as Saffran started getting along with the popular boys he ditched Norman.
Saffran smiles looking at the toddlers' toothy grin.
There's a lot of pictures of them together.
From school to camping, sleepovers, birthday parties. Both looks so happy in
the pictures. Saffran didn't know Norman would keep these photos safely. After
their pictures, Norman's family appears. He has a bunch of photos with his mom
and dad. They all looked happy. Then he flips pages and again find his own
pictures. But this time he is not with Norman. Actually those are his Instagram
pictures. Norman printed them secretly. Saffran was beyond shocked. Why did he
printed his Instagram photos? He turns the pages. A lot of photos Norman
collected. He finds one photo cut. It was a polaroid Saffran clicked with Jess
and posted on Instagram. Norman cut Jess out. Saffran holds his mouth with a shock
ridden face. He then turns the photo and finds a something written on it.
'Please be
mine.'
