16 16.

Lucas sat on the bed with his back to the wall. Awkward silence filled the room. Lucas stared at Damien. Damien stared back.

It was okay when they were in the outer room. The bedroom was - intimate.

"You have a simple house ."

"Yes."

Awkward silence.

"So you stay with your parents ?" Damien asked to break the silence.

"NO alone. They have to work out of the city."

"They let you live alone ?'' Damien's curiosity piqued.

"I had to beg them. And This is my uncle's house. He thought its better to let me stay here. I got a place and he doesn't need to clean here."

"So he stays with you?"

"No. He stays two blocks away. That's the reason why my parents agreed."

"Why did you come here? Away from your parents ?"

"Some personal reason." Lucas looked down.

Damien didn't ask any further questions.

"You don't want to sleep."

"In some time."

"Umm-,listen Lucas."

Lucas raised his head.

"I am sorry."

"What for ?"

"For everything."

Lucas slightly turned his head as if to ask a question.

"For taking advantage of you,"Damien continued,"For annoying you. For being a real asshole to you."

"Well, Since you know and you are sorry, I will forgive you. "

"But I am not sorry for kissing you."

"Aging with that?"

"Look at me." Damien leaned forward. He held Lucas hand. He was now at eye level with Lucas. His face was close to Lucas.

Lucas could faintly feel Damien's breath. Minty.

"I like you." Damien said. His voice was a whisper.

"I don't know why you think I am messing with you but I really like you." Damien's eyes reflected his sincerity.

"If it was someone else I would have already taught them a lesson. But every time you go against me and I want to make you listen to me, I just cant. I can't hurt you. I can't bully you. "

Damien voice was filled with sincerity.

"I would have made life miserable for anyone who went against me. But not you. I could have played games with people. I have done it before. But not with you. Every time I want to do something to you, I just cant. I don't know how I fell for you so hard. But I do. "Damien paused for a second. "It might have started as a game, but I can't play it any longer. Not with you."

Lucas eyes welled up. He didn't know what was wrong with him.

Damien lifted his hands and grasped Lucas face. He leaned forward and kissed Lucas eyes.

Tears rolled down Lucas face.

"I don't know what's wrong with me." Lucas whispered. His eyes still closed and his face still in Damien's hand.

"Me too." Damien said and kissed Lucas on the lips.

Lucas stayed still. But Damien gently kissed Lucas again. Lucas reciprocated.

Damien moved to Lucas jaw now, still kissing. He travelled along Lucas neck over to the other side. Lucas was held Damien's back and stretched his neck for Damien to access.

Damien lifted his hand without braking from the kisses and held Lucas arms. Lucas flinched.

Damien stopped.

"Sorry. "

He pulled back.

"Do it once again while you kiss me ." Lucas said.

Damien was surprised.

Nevertheless, he gripped Lucas' arm but with a slight pressure.

Lucas let out a soft " Aah."

He is just like a girl right now, Damien thought. Somehow it turned him on. Very On.

He gripped Lucas arms again. Another moan.

"Oh boy" was all Damien could say before he pushed Lucas to the bed.
