Episode 41: Heating up

Josh gasped a little, it was painful yet he couldn't deny it was such a turn on at the same time so he just nodded, staring at Teo who kept a straight face as if he wouldn't just set him on fire.

"You want a movie ending then? I could give you a better one if you ask me nicely", the dark haired spoke as his eyes shone with determination staring at his lover.

The younger rubbed his thigh up, stopping abruptly before reaching his crotch, "Patience my beloved pain in the rear. I don't have an exhibitionist kink as, apparently, you do".

Josh gasped, "Hey! What do you– I don't!"

Jimeno and Jack turned their heads around to face the noisy couple in the back.

"Is something the matter?" Jimeno asked, eyeing Joseph in a warning way before looking at his best friend asking if he needed help lifting his eyebrows.

Teo shook his head, giving him a soft smile, "Nope. Everything is ok. Just enjoy the movie, it's almost over"

Jimeno nodded, "I trust in you, bud. But if he hurts you-" his sentence was cut short when Jack squeezed his hand, making him forget briefly what he was going to say.

"How about we order some pizza and beers at my place once we get outta here?" The brunette spoke rapidly, shocking the shorter male.

"Your place?" The stunned male spoke as Teo and Josh looked at each other perplexed.

"Yeah, after the movie we can go to my place and do a movie marathon, karaoke night or anything fun. You two are invited too. And I won't take a 'no' as an answer" the cheerful male said, hope clear in his voice as his copper eyes sparkled in joy like fireworks.

Josh interjected, "Wouldn't we be disturbing your peace? Maybe you two prefer to spend the rest of the day alone, I mean, without us" he wasn't really sure if going on a double date in an unknown's apartment was a good idea.

Teo nodded whilst Jimeno got quiet.

Jack shook his head, "The more the merrier. Besides we wouldn't have to worry about someone recognizing us if you know what I mean", he winked at Josh, the brunette really thought he was a sort of celebrity or something around the lines.

Jimeno muttered, "You mean recognizing YOU, taking pictures to sell to those gossip magazines to make a scandal out of it", eyeing Jack as he reminisced how he was recognized in the bathroom not long ago.

Teo got hit by the fact maybe the messy hair his friend had was due they had to run from paparazzis in their way back.

"He's right tho, it wouldn't hurt us being cautious" the blue-eyed said, feeling a bit guilty for misjudging his friends.

Jack grinned, happy to know someone agreed with his plan, "See! He also doesn't want his boyfriend to be spotted by the masses".

Jimeno and Teo got confused at Jack's statement to which Teo was ready to reply.

"Well… what I really mean-"

However Josh spoke, cutting Teo mid sentence, "Thanks for being so thoughtful, we will take your offer then, right Teo?", he bowed to them, respectfully, before turning to his lover who was just looking at him with wide eyes incredulously, the reason might be due he was interrupted by the older.

Jimeno spoke now as he couldn't bear with the silence, nor the dead glares his friend was sending his lover's way, "He's not a celebrity. So he doesn't have to hide from anyone, does he?"

Jack chuckled slightly as he couldn't believe what Jimeno said, "How could he not be one with those looks?! Even if he's not, people still turn their head just to take a second look at him. Don't tell me you didn't notice how people got mesmerized by him since we arrived here?"

Jack's words stirred something within Teo, so he acted on it reaching for Josh's hand, gripping it tightly, maybe a bit overprotective or possessive, whatever it was it only worsened his mood.

Jimeno thought briefly whilst Josh stared at Teo seeing how his soft and beautiful features hardened as he squeezed his fingers.

He spoke ignoring his friend's mood, "I thought it was because of you" . The shorter male was not really sure as he barely took a glimpse of his surroundings, his focus was his crush.

Jack rolled his eyes at Jimeno's naive reply so he remarked his words, "Partly, but trust me, the second and third glance were addressed his way." He couldn't get why no one but him was the one who noticed that, "It doesn't help that he came dressed up like a movie actor either." Eyeing Josh's outfit, the male's presence alone surely got people attention but with this outfit he could cause an accident.

Josh looked down at his own outfit as their eyes were on him, he saw his pants and jacket like normal clothes, as he didn't see what was outstanding in it, he knew he was good looking and all but his clothing choice was simple or that's how he saw them, /Isn't it supposed to be normal? Like I know I'm handsome but people ain't busy with their own business to be looking into mine?/ he pondered in his head for a moment.

Teo gritted his teeth, slapping his tight, "Why did you have to wear tight pants today? Was the leather jacket necessary? You did it purposely. You said to dress up comfortably yet you dared to arrive like that!" The younger one winced as he was wearing a double outfit, the classy one was beneath the layers he had on top, it didn't help this whole mess got his temperature rising and he wanted to throw them off.

Josh's eyes widened, a bit startled as he didn't see any problem with his outfit so he replied calmly, "Would you rather see me wearing nothing but a shirt and briefs?" He asked the surly male in a sarcastic tone, trying to empathise with the fact he was at least dressed up.

Teo roared as he spoke again, not liking his tone, "Hey, don't put words in my mouth", nor the idea even if it were a joke.

"Then don't judge me for dressing up like this. It's not like I'm walking around as I was born." Josh replied justifying his style as Teo stood up, his body starting to itch as he heated up more than usual.

"Wanna walk around naked? Do it! See how much I care" the latter whined, stomping his feet on the ground as he walked out of the dark room fuming, wishing to rip his clothes off as he wanted to scratch his back and neck.

Josh gasped rushing up to his feet, "Bae, I wasn't being serious. Where are you going?", dashing after a mad Teo trying to reason with him.

"Guess we should get going too" Jack spoke turning to face Jimeno who nodded as answer.

They made their way out following their friends.

Teo took off his hoodie as he couldn't bear the heat, soon his vest followed too.

He would have taken his sweatpants off if it weren't for someone stopping him by getting a firm hold of his hand.

Josh saw the clothes on the ground then back to Teo, "Would you listen to me? this is not a competence." He wasn't sure what was going on in Teo's head but he thought he would take everything off just to make him understand, which partly did.

Teo frowned, refusing to stare at him, biting back any mean thought from slipping, "What shall I listen? Cheap excuses? You said walking around like this was fine".

Josh gritted his eyes as he didn't like how people started looking at his boyfriend, "I'm not making up excuses. I just thought you might like it if you saw me like this. It's not my style but I wanted to try something different.", oddly this soothed the fierce male in front of him a bit so he continued.

"Besides, it's not like I have a huge closet at my disposal to pick up just anything. This are my friend's clothes so-"

Teo's calm and guilty expression shifted to an unreadable one when those last words left Josh's mouth, "So.. you're wearing another man's clothes now?"

Josh nodded, just then Jack and Jimeno walked outside, noticing the crowd surrounding the bickery couple at a safe distance to which Jack put on his glasses, mask and hat once more whilst Jimeno held back a laugh seeing him like that.

Josh kept on talking as Teo frowned deeply, "Yeah, like last night I wore gramps' clothes", stating his argument with a duh tone which irked Teo.

Jimeno rushed to his friend's side to hold him when he swatted Josh's hand away from his, speaking softly as he always did when he noticed how mad his friend got, "Bro, how about we get going. We don't want to start a scene here, people are watching, for Jack, please."

Jack spoke as he picked up Teo's clothes off the ground undercover, "We can solve this in a more private place."

Patting Josh's back as he noticed even he became too quiet, the latter stared at Teo's clothes on his hands and held back the urge to rip them off his hold just nodding, the fire consuming him inside like lava underwater.

The two males lead the couple outside without much talking, the tension in the air rising up whilst people commented among themselves.

Some reached Teo's ears which were mostly mean comments misjudging him for his actions minutes ago.
