GIVE ME A HUG!

Eddie didn't acknowledge the existence of Mark for the rest of the day and He has become the sole victim of Eddie's ignorance. He drove harshly their way back home. Poor Mark, thinking Eddie is stressed from work, maintained his pose and didn't utter a word.

Reaching home, Eddie threw his office bag on the floor and went to his room. Mark silently picked up the bag from the floor and put it on the couch.

After bathing, Mark brewed coffee for both of them and knocked on the door of Eddie.

"WHAAAAAT????" He shouted.

" Cool Man... You are home. Don't be stressed. Drink this. I added a lot of sugar. It will definitely help you to relax." Mark said handing him the coffee cup.

Looking in to the innocent face of Mark, he couldn't be angry anymore. He took the cup from Mark and came to the hall.

"So how do you know the CEO?" Eddie asked cutting the intro speech.

"He...he...he is someone I know." Mark stuttered.

"And i asked how do you know him?" Eddie repeated the question.

"You don't believe but Augustine is Alex's biological Brother. So I know him." Answered Mark and continued..

"You know? unlike Alex, brother is a cool person. He was my knight during childhood. He save me from bullies. One day one boy spilled juice on my shirt intentionally and you know what happened to him? The very next day, brother poured a bottle of the same juice over him." He felt happy sharing his good old days with Eddie..

" He is that kind?" Asked Eddie

"He do anything for his brothers. And you know Brother got suspended from school for one week afterwards. And another time..."

" Does he have a crush on you?" Asked Eddie

" Never. He treats me like his younger brother." Mark defended him.

" So he is your brothers? I mean like your own brother?" Eddie asked holding his shoulders.

"Yes. He is....I'm more close to him than Alex but keep it a secret from him. Alex will kill me if he knew it. Alex is the possessive King." Said Mark.

" Sure. I won't tell him. And this coffee is really good for relieving stress I guess. It is sweeter than usual." Said Eddie tasting his coffee.

" Give me a hug Mark...You know I'm stressed right ? And a warm hug can reduce the stress level. Don't you know it?" Eddie explained. He couldn't take a 'NO' from Mark.

" Come here. Lemme hu.."

Before Mark could finish his words Eddie engulfed him in a hug. Mark gently Pat him on the back.

Eddie hugged him tightly and after few minutes he ditached from him." Hmm...Well...I have to call some one..." He find excuses..

" Mm...Okey.Take rest. I will cook dinner today." Said Mark..

" Okey.." Eddie answered while going to his room.

Mark sat there and started to think. ' Why did I tell him about Augustine? Why do I feel pain in my heart when he asked if he had a crush on me? Why the hell I explained all those to him?'

He drank his coffee overly stressed and then went to his study room.

Back in his room, Eddie screamed of joy and lay down on bed. He took his pillow and hugged it tightly and give it a kiss...

"Ahh....Finally I hugged him....". He exclaimed and closed his eyes in wish of dreaming Mark.
