Chapter 4
"Ivan, I'm back!" Dino said after knocking at the door of the cubicle inside the comfort room where Ivan was hiding naked.
Ivan opened the door of the cubicle and happily declared, "Oh! You're back, Dino! I'm really glad to see you again!"
Dino's face reddened again upon seeing Ivan's large muscular body and nicely sculpted abs again before the former turned away from the latter. He also could not believe that he was feeling embarrassed about looking at Ivan's body even though they were both guys.
[Damn it… I'm a guy, but I'm feeling awkward about seeing Ivan's body like this.] Dino thought with his eyes closed and his face red in embarrassment.
"Hey, Dino, there's no need to be shy," Ivan declared in a reassuring tone while grinning brightly. "We're both guys here, so it's okay."
"Okay," Dino replied awkwardly before turning around with his eyes looking down at the floor. "I'm sorry! I just can't understand why I'm feeling embarrassed about seeing your body!"
"Is that so? It's fine, Dino," Ivan responded with a gentle smile on his face. "You can look at me, so don't be shy."
"O-Okay," Dino answered awkwardly while stammering as he turned to look at Ivan again. "But first, I'll be dressing up inside another cubicle. Please wait here."
"No need to go to another cubicle. You can dress up inside here too, Dino," Ivan said in a friendly way.
"Okay then," Dino replied as he tried to make himself more comfortable. "But I have a request."
"Sure. What is it?" Ivan asked while smiling.
"P-Please don't look at me while I dress up," Dino answered awkwardly.
Ivan laughed and said, "Why not? We're both men here, Dino."
"I just don't like to be seen!" Dino blurted out.
"Okay then, if that's you want," Ivan replied with a friendly grin. "Anyway, let's dress up now."
"Yeah!" Dino answered with his face blushing. "But please turn around first."
"Okay, sure!" Ivan replied with a nod and a smile before turning around.
Next, Dino took off Ivan's clothes and handed them over to Ivan. Afterwards, both Dino and Ivan began to wear their own respective clothes. While they were dressing up, Dino kept on looking at Ivan, with the former making sure that the latter won't turn around before the former himself had finished dressing up.
[It's good that he isn't peeking just like I requested him to.] Dino thought in relief before realizing something. [But then...it's unfair for him since I'm seeing his naked body.] Then Dino shook his head and thought, [Nah, forget it! I have seen his body before!]
It did not take long before Ivan and Dino had finished dressing up.
"Are you done, Dino?" Ivan inquired after checking that he had finished dressing up himself.
"Yeah!" Dino answered with a grin. "And you?"
"Yeah, I'm good now," Ivan responded with a grin. "Let's go now."
"Yeah!" Dino replied in a lively manner.
[At last… We're both dressed up now.] Dino thought in relief. [And he didn't see me naked.]
"Thanks for your help, Dino!" Ivan declared cheerfully while both he and Dino were fixing and grooming themselves in front of the mirror.
"Y-You're welcome, Ivan!" Dino replied while wearing his innocent and beautiful smile.
[That smile...I like that.] Ivan thought upon seeing Dino's captivating and mesmerizing smile. [Looking at him closely, he's definitely my type.]
"So, how should I thank you, Dino?" Ivan inquired while wearing his bright smile.
"Oh, no need for that!" Dino answered while also feeling awkward.
"But you must have wasted a lot of time while trying to help me," Ivan responded while still wearing his smile. "I owe you one, so I should do something for you in return."
[Oh well...He's kind of...Persistent!] Dino thought. [Yeah, maybe I should ask him to buy some groceries together with me, but it's too risky for him since he might be recognized and chased by some women and girls again.]
"Um...Ivan, shouldn't you go back to your apartment right now?" Dino suggested. "Some women might recognize and chase you again."
"It's fine, Dino," Ivan reassured while grinning. "I can just wear a mask so that people won't recognize me. Although I don't have one here with me right now."
[Oh, right! I have one here!] Dino thought.
"I'll let you borrow mine then," Dino declared while smiling innocently.
"Really? Thank you!" Ivan replied cheerfully. "I'll give it back to you later."
"No problem!" Dino responded with an innocent smile. "Also, I would like you to come with me since I'll be grocery shopping. Is that fine?"
"Sure! No problem!" Ivan answered cheerfully.
"Thanks!" Dino returned while wearing his innocent smile.
"So, Dino, shall we go now?" Ivan asked before kissing Dino's right cheek, making the latter blush in embarrassment.
"Yeah!" Dino answered while touching the part where Ivan kissed the former.
[This guy… Does he really normally kiss people like that?] Dino thought shyly.
"It's okay, Dino," Ivan said while smiling from ear to ear. "Don't be shy. Anyway, please let me borrow the face mask before we go."
"Oh, right!" Dino blurted out before taking the mask from inside his backpack and handing it over to Ivan. "Here! Please wear this!"
After wearing the mask, Ivan declared, "Alright! Let's go now, Dino!"
"Yeah!" Dino answered happily before walking side by side with Ivan as they went out of the comfort room.
[I feel happy about being able to talk and walk with Ivan like this.] Dino thought while stealing glances at Ivan occasionally as they walked.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
After buying some groceries, Dino remembered that Ivan must buy new clothes if the latter did not want to be recognized by other people.
"Ivan, how about you buy some new clothes?" Dino suggested.
"What for?" Ivan asked with a puzzled look.
"So that people won't recognize you," Dino replied.
"No need to," Ivan answered with a grin. "Nobody else has recognized me so far, so I just need to buy a face mask."
"Oh...right! Just a mask is enough!" Dino responded before letting out a laugh. "I know where we can buy some. Let's go there."
"Okay," Ivan replied cheerfully with a nod.
Afterwards, Dino and Ivan looked for the section in the department store with the face masks. Ivan took and bought three of them.
"Okay! I finally have what I need!" Ivan exclaimed joyfully. "Dino, let's go to a comfort room."
"Okay," Dino responded with a smile. "Follow me."
It took a few moments before Ivan and Dino arrived at a comfort room wherein there were no other people except for the two of them. Next, Ivan took off the face mask that Dino had lent to him.
"Here," Ivan said while smiling brightly as he handed the face mask over to Dino. "Thank you."
"You're welcome," Dino replied with an innocent smile as he felt happy about being able to help the swimmer he has been watching and admiring for five years.
At that moment, Ivan felt that he could not resist from kissing Dino anymore. He felt weak against Dino's charming smile.
[This boy...I really like him.] Ivan thought while admiring Dino secretly. [I guess I should kiss him.]
"Dino, I have something to give you to express my gratitude," Ivan declared while looking at Dino lovingly.
"What is it?" Dino asked curiously.
Ivan approached Dino before the former leaned forward to kiss the latter on the lips. Dino felt Ivan's soft lips pressing against his own lips.
[Huh? He's...kissing me?] Dino thought surprisingly with his face blushing. [But his kiss feels so good. I...I like it.] Dino thought before closing his eyes.
Dino responded by pressing his lips hard against Ivan's. Ivan, who felt Dino's response, deepened the kiss, licked Dino's lips, and inserted his tongue into Dino's mouth. Afterwards, the two of them began to lick each other's tongues, with both of them feeling the warmth and softness as well. Ivan and Dino also embraced each other as they continued to kiss each other passionately.
