Engagement

Chapter two: Encounter Two

    Sebastian was definitely not a morning person. He and the sun just didn't work out. Really. Not until that blasted light reached above his head. And that is why, instead of springing out of bed singing with the nonexistent birds, he rolled over with a groan when the alarm of some car down the street blasted through his window. But that roll shook him out of his blissful sleep, reminding him that sooner or later, he had to get up. The problem with that though was, once he's up, he's up. No falling back to sleep until the moon shoved the sun out of the sky.

    Oh that fucking alarm though. It would just not shut up. As it pulled him back into consciousness he also became aware of the hangover of his latest activities, the dull pain in his ass making him groan again and open his eyes, slowly. He was never one for having a fuck when he was taking it, but Sebastian looked over at the side table, and a grin appeared on his lips despite the ache. It had been so worth it. A large wad of bills was his current attention on the table, a score from last night.

    He came to his feet gingerly a good ten minutes later, stretching his arms above his head and wincing when he heard some pops. Ow. He swept the table to get his glasses, slipping them on before getting a good glance at his image in the mirror. His hair was messy and the same chocolate shade as always - which earned a soft sigh of relief -, stylish glasses hiding sharp, dark eyes. Sebastian nudged a thing of contacts out of sight, placed his glasses down again, and padded towards his own bathroom, stripping clothes as he went.

    The soft tan of his skin was even all down his frame, the only disruption being the darker colors of the hickeys around his neck and chest. He saw those and scowled. Damn. He would have to hide those for a few days.

    His member, which had already been half hard when he woke thanks to being a teenager, gave a slight twitch as an unbidden thought surfaced in Sebastian's mind. He gave a soft huff of annoyance and reached down to give his cock a quick tug before turning the shower on and stepping in. He stroked the member slowly, hips arching a bit into the touch. But the young man forced himself to stop, giving a bite the inside of his mouth with a wince and slowly, unwillingly, withdrew his hands from his arousal. It was damn good he had a lot of self control. That and his mother had the most annoying habit of barging into his room unannounced, even if he was in the shower. He really didn't have time to beat off anyway as his sister was due to arrive within the hour. His erection still jutted up at him persistently and he bit his lip.

    He decided to leave it alone and immediately cursing himself each time it throbbed. If he could sneak out later he would fix this problem.

    A good half hour later Sebastian finally came out from his room, dressed casually in jeans and a green long sleeved shirt, along with tad of concealer to hide the bruises. His mother turned on him when he walked into the kitchen for food, clicking her tongue and slapping his hand away when he reached for coffee.

    "You feel like becoming short?" Sebastian cracked a grin and rested his arm on his mother's shoulder, being that much taller than her to do so.

    "Nah, that's what you and Nisha are for." He stole a cup of coffee anyway and kissed her cheek, ignoring the sigh from her as he headed to the main room to watch TV until he would see his sister again.

    The moment Kaden had gotten home he had jumped in the shower, scrubbing away at his skin and making it raw until the hot water had run out. He had been glad that Nisha was still out with her friends so he wouldn't have to explain anything. He felt ... disgusted, vaguely, at the fact that a random male had touched him. His climax, Kaden insisted in his mind, was unavoidable due to the stimulus.

    He hadn't gotten much sleep over the matter, tossing and turning even when his fiancee came in to bed. Her presence was usually reassuring enough to sleep, having her soft curves pressed against his back. But last night it hadn't mattered.

    Now it was precisely six-o-three a.m. on Saturday morning, and Kaden had received exactly three and a half hours of sleep. How he was going to survive the day, he had no idea. Coffee seemed like a good start though. Yes, that seemed good. The man padded around the kitchen as quietly as he could for Nisha was a light sleeper and it didn't help that the two rooms were right next to each other.

    Unfortunately silence was not to be for as the man reached up and grabbed a mug, the sudden realization, again, of last night washed over him. The mug clattered to the floor and broke, making the only noise in the kitchen as Kaden gripped the counter. He felt sick. And ... what exactly had he done in the first place to make the teen even notice him! Maybe it was blackmail. But who would want to do that to him? He wasn't even that high up in the company he worked for — An old girlfriend from college? But why — who —

    Those thoughts spun through his head, overwhelming him.

    "Kaden?" The man turned his head at his name, viewing his fiancee at the doorway. Nisha .... "Kaden what happened?"

    The man hung his head, giving a quiet sigh. He pushed a hand through his hair and looked back up at Nisha, offering a faint smile. "It just slipped, sorry. Please go back to bed." He didn't wait to hear the woman's answer and started cleaning up.

    Six-fifteen a.m. and already his morning is off to a bad start.

*

    So. Eleven-seventeen a.m and they were already late. Trust Nisha to screw up their plans. Sebastian gave a long, deprived-for-attention huff and flicked the TV off, hopping over the back of the couch to head back into the kitchen.

    "Ever think of getting a dog, mom? Can we?" The woman paused in her cooking and looked at him oddly.

    "Why."

    "... Can we make the brother-in-law a dog then?" He flitted around the older kin, trying to find an opening to steal a bit of the potatoes frying in the pan. "Can it be a husky?" Success! Sebastian darted away behind the safety of the island while blowing on the slice of potato.

    "The nonexistent dog?"

    "No the brother-in-law." He corrected, looking at his mom with a grin before having at the food. His mom shooed him out of the way then, muttering things about how weird he
was. "Hey are you sure we can trust this guy with Nisha? After all, waiting until what, nine months before the wedding to be introduced to us? Pish. Doesn't sound very you know, whatever."

    "Smart, Sebastian." His mother chided. "And we have met Kaden before, remember? Of course it was only when you were about ten years old ... Oh but it's such a nice story to tell, young high school sweet hearts breaking apart because his parents were moving over to Europe..."

    "And that's were they met again, one year ago only while traveling around India. They were on the same train, same compartment, their eyes met and boom!" Sebastian finished with a drawl, giving a roll of his eyes. "Yes mother, I know the tale. And it's not that impressive, believe me, after hearing it tens of thousands of times."

    "You, do not have a romantic bone in you Sebastian. Just wait until you met a nice girl and then..." Sebastian tuned the rest out, also having heard this little speech what seemed like tens of thousands of times in the past year. Just because Nisha went and got engaged his mother now expected him to find a girlfriend too? Honestly. The young man gave a sigh and waited for his mother to finish. She would be disappointed, however, since the only grandchildren would come from Nisha. Being homosexual did that, not being able to procreate with your lover and all. Whoops.

    "In fact," oh, back to his mother's magnificent speech, "I suspect you're hiding someone from me." ... what? The confusion on his face must have shown, for him mother smiled a bit and motioned to her neck. "It's showing." ...What? Oh! Damn it! Sebastian covered the bruises on his neck with a scowl, turning away. The concealer must have rubbed off on his shirt or something ....

    "Sebastian...." He turned around forty-five degrees with the scowl as he paused on the stairs. "Just don't do anything risky, alright?" He gave a little salute and went back upstairs.

    "Risky? Oh like, I don't know, whoring yourself out to half the town? Oh gee mom thanks for that advice, too late though." He snorted a bit and flopped on the bed. "Damn it Nisha, hurry up and get here!"

*

    It was around one when Sebastian finally heard a car pull into the drive way and he grinned, jumping out of the bed and going to his window. Once open he leaned out until he felt like falling, waving at the two that exited the vehicle. "Nisha! You are so dead, being late!"

    The woman below waved him off and opened the trunk. "Get down here Sebastian and help your poor old sister with the bags!"

    "Aye aye, captain!" The teen jumped out the window and stepped onto the roof of the balcony, steadily making his way down the slope until he could jump down onto the driveway. Nearly scared his mother to death, doing that. He dodged her earful of shrieks and hugged Nisha tightly, kissing her cheek.

    "Oh you grew at least a foot since I saw you last...!" Nisha exclaimed as she stepped away, sighing a bit. "All that much more of a reminder of how short I am... Seb ... Seb are you alive? Hello..."

    But Sebastian was tuning his sister out, eyes focused sharply on her husband-to-be. Said man was introducing himself to their mother, giving a shy smile that, included with the way his blonde hair fell across his forehead, struck Sebastian as well, cute. A little boyish, even, for a man supposedly pushing late twenties.

    The teenager gave a little shake of his head. And Kaden looked so much like that man ...

    "Kaden--" he paused, feeling the name on his tongue, "he was at his party last night?"

    His sister blinked and nodded, looking at Sebastian oddly. "Yeah. How'd you know? I mean unless he invited you...?"

    "Nah - it's the bags under his eyes. Makes him look older too." Sebastian teased as an easy cover up, grabbing a bag and heading inside before his sister could hit him for that comment.

    Inside he leaned against the door, hitting his head back against the wood. Kaden was the man from the alley. The one who'd rejected Koli and yet ended up coming from his touches. And he was going to be staying with them for the next week. Fuck.
