KISS AND KRIS

With a heavy heart, Kris lethally glare at Conrad who's been dripping sweat from nervousness. His heart palpitates wildly as he want to punch the man in the floor. His eyes are flaming fire due to his uncontrollable range. He was about to punch Conrad when he covered his face using his arms. Kris halted, as when he notice that Conrad is almost as naked as Kiss, with only wearing a boxers. The anger he felt only piling up as he thought that Conrad already took his wife's chastity. The evidence are already slamming infront of him. Kris close eyes and his hands into a fist. Gripping it tightly as his fingers turn into white. He didn't feel the pain but he felt the need to release his frustration. The sudden abruptness of his emotions seems to overthrown him. The need to burst out is already in the tip of his tongue. He almost couldn't believe it until Conrad speak up.

"i..it's...it's not w-what you th-think it is" Conrad mumbled stammering. He silently praying to all the saints above as not to took his life too early since his mission still unsolved especially not in the hands of the man standing infront of him with an intent to kill.

Receiving no response, Conrad's dying soul almost flew out his body. He perfectly knows what it means with Kris' silent treatment.

"I....I didn't touch him I swear" he added.

"Then why are you in his bed?" Kris asked in monotone.

"it's....it's because...." Conrad move away the eye contact between them. Trying to find ways to scape from his early death. His mind is a total hallow that even thinking of one word is too hard enough to accomplish.

"Kiss wake up. Help me" he added whispering. If there's no other way out then better use his ultimate weapon to distract the demon infront of him.

"don't you dare wake him up" Kris warn. He took Conrad's clothes as he drag the man out of the apartment as he added " we'll settle this account some other time" before slamming the threshold shut. He don't give a damn wether Conrad take it to heart or give it a big deal out of him. What's so important to him is to cast out the man away from his wife.

He immediately walk near Kiss. Watching him peacefully asleep. With his messy black hair, curly lashes, cute nose, pinkish lips- Kris gulp for a second as he stare at Kiss' lips. The temptation to taste it is as strong as a wine does to him. The sweetness that seems to last his his tongue as he slightly lick his lips. Even with the urge to do so, he shook off his head, laying into Kiss' bed next to him, covering his body using the same blanket with his wife. He gently turn Kiss around until he was finally caught to his embrace. Kris smile as he inhale Kiss' Sakura blossom scent that immediately calm him down. He took a peek kiss into his forehead before he close his eyes and lovingly indulge himself to a rare change of faith as he whispered "I love you" earnestly.

Kiss walk up as the sun beam coming from the window hit his eyes. He felt too dizzy as he tried to get up. He remember last night's activity with Conrad. It is his first time drinking and maybe his last. The taste of beer is not as sweet as what other's said. It's quite bland and bitter. Even if it is paired with chips, once it flows down to his throat, it seems like his stomach suddenly felt full. He even constantly go to the bathroom to pee. Even if he honestly don't like it, he likes how it help him forget his problem. How it helps him enjoy life once again. Liquor indeed is a killer of discomfort. He just didn't expect Conrad to buy beer instead of take outs.

When he can finally endure the dizziness, he notice himself half naked. He abruptly grab the quilt as he immediately cover his body. Even if he wanted to freak out deep inside, he tried to remain calm. What's the big deal? He is a man, he won't get pregnant even if he made a one night stand with someone.... or is he?. As though, Kiss turn around and saw a man laying next to him- Conrad. He observed the man from head to feet. Analyzing wether or not something happen between them. He don't quite saw the Man because it covers half of it's face but he is a 100% sure that it is Conrad since it is just the two of them last night.

He was about to quickly out of the bed when a hand grab his waist which causes him to halted. He couldn't bare to turn around and learn that what he thought might be right. The man moan a bit as he went closer to Kiss. He rub his face into Kiss' back as he said " sleep a little bit longer, honey. It's not that you're in a hurry of something"

Kiss suddenly freeze, the familiarity of the voice seems like stabbing him with a knife. He don't understand to why he hear it or it might be just his wild imagination. He force himself to believe that it is Conrad when man talk again " lay back down now. I'm still sleepy"

Now, he isn't sure if it was really Conrad. That messy night made him forgot that he has a roommate. Someone who will share his problem, someone who is also his problem. He forcefully losen up the grip from Kris' hand but the man is just way too strong that it won't budge even a little.

Kiss sigh deeply as the recollection of last night's fun night with Conrad slowly immerging into his mind. He remember Conrad said that Kris already paid the whole payment for a year and that he don't need to worry about it.

"Kiss, remember this. Kris already paid the whole rental fee for a year including your share so please don't cause trouble to him or it might be the end of me" Conrad said as he put his hands together while looking at Kiss with a pitiful expression.

It seems to be generous to others but one thing is certain, Kiss knows that Kris will trouble him again by slamming his face the fact that he payed his shared fee.

"don't grip it too tight, it hurts" Kiss mumbled with a bit of anger. He move a little before he lay back again down to the bed feeling dejected.

Kris crawl up onto Kiss' level as he draw close to his ear and whispered "morning"

Kiss rolled up his eyes. He slightly push Kris away as he said "don't morning me. We're not that close and stay away"

"We are. We're even cuddling and sharing one bed" Kris replied. As how kiss pushes him is as how he stick himself to Kiss. He even put his leg into Kiss' waist untill Kiss stops struggling and let the man do what he please.

'let him be. He paid the rent' Kiss thought.

Kiss was in a daze, staring emptily in the white ceiling. A lot of things happened to him within a week. Not just that but the problem of a jobless person seeking for survival. He sighed deeply again as he plainly said "if you're

awake, get up. I want to take a bath"

"awwee, early exercise? I'm not prepared for that" Kris said teasingly.

Kris received a triple deluxe ice cream lump as kiss smack him hard from teasing him too early. He get up from the bed as soon as Kris was rubbing his head. He took a glance and said "hmp" before heading straight to the bathroom.

Kris only smile. The treatment he expected to perceived is different from what he thought. Not only Kiss let him hug h but also he didn't resist too much when he said that he wanted to sleep more. He get out of the bed and tidily fix the mattress. He also folded the blanket and pillow neatly. His vision caught with the mess in the floor. He now remember that the two having a wild party without informing him especially Conrad. He massage his temples as he felt a sudden ache upon his head. As it slowly subsided, he looked for a broom and dustpan to clean up their mess. He search every corner of the room but he couldn't find one. The room is spacious enough for two. He just don't understand why he didn't find even a single stroke of the broom. Is Kiss cleaning the room? How did he manage to clean it up without a broom? Is he using a vacuum? But he is already broke enough to buy one let alone can afford to have one. Kris don't have a choice but to asked Kiss where he hide it. Without much thinking, he barged in the bathroom slamming the door open.

"Honey where did you put the---"
