It was officially Saturday, meaning it was my mother and father’s day off. They always took one day out of the week to spend time with me, which was sweet. I could never ask for better parents. They never fought, or at least never did it in front of me, and they made sure to leave work aside when it was the three of us.

Today, however, we had a plus one. Akira, being the guy that he is, thanked my mother for breakfast. My parents, as I said before, were fantastic. But when it came to dropping hints, they were oblivious.

I’ve been hinting to my mother and father that I was looking forward to our time together today, just us. But apparently, when you have a friend over, all other plans go out the window. All focus goes to the guest, and time should be spent with them.

It was insulting to want Akira out of the house, but I couldn’t handle seeing him now. After everything that happened last night, I’m not sure if that’s a possibility. I have to find a way to punish myself without Akira finding out, and that’s hard to do when he’s beside me.

“Your father and I will be leaving the house for today. We’ve decided that we should have a day just the two of us. We won’t be home until late, so make sure you both get to bed at a decent time.”
729Please respect copyright.PENANA6HiDECrj90
“Speaking of which, I think it’s about time we head out.”
729Please respect copyright.PENANAH5w5roG20O
With my father’s words, they stood up and left. They hugged me goodbye, waved to Akira, and told us they would lock the door behind them. I heard the dreadful sound of the door shutting, the car starting, and the engine's noise slowly drifting away.

“Maxie, baby~.”
729Please respect copyright.PENANAcTieek1yMe
My face flushed, I sat up straighter and refused to look at him. His voice was so deep and warm that I felt I could get lost forever. I heard him chuckle at my reaction and felt my chair move closer to Akira’s.
729Please respect copyright.PENANABCSWMtsJBJ
Akira’s arm wrapped around my waist while his other hand rested on my thigh, “So, we have the house all to ourselves. What’s the first thing you wanna do?”
729Please respect copyright.PENANA83FKjFWGJi
I could hear my heart beating out of my chest. The noise was deafening to the point where I could barely comprehend Akria’s question. His grip on my thigh tightened, and his hand began to draw up and underneath my shirt before slowly drifting its way back down. The grip lessened as well.
729Please respect copyright.PENANACW1d9ppaHQ
“Why don’t we start with a movie? You pick the genre, I pick the movie, OK?”
729Please respect copyright.PENANAewRmKkKcYD
“That… OK, I could do that.”
729Please respect copyright.PENANA1AhIiISSa5
Akira smiled, and God, what a fantastic smile it was. Has he ever smiled in front of me before now? Maybe I just never noticed it like this before. I’m so used to seeing him frown or having a neutral face that seeing him like this was a nice change.
729Please respect copyright.PENANAorGu8D4OIO
“Great! Now, what genre would you like to watch?”
729Please respect copyright.PENANAqOyYlCcRQm
“It’s up to y-.”
729Please respect copyright.PENANAVRtUpUzniz
“No, it’s not up to me,” Akira lifted my head up with his index finger, “I’m teaching you how to be more selfish, now, choose a genre, and I’ll choose the movie.”
729Please respect copyright.PENANALGJVMTIP05
I said it by habit, why can’t he pick the movie without my assistance? But I’m sure he’s not going to let that slide. I have to find a way to make Akira hate me, so picking a genre that he hates is the best option. He seems like a horror fanatic to me, and the opposite of that is like… romance? Maybe a rom-com is best.
729Please respect copyright.PENANAU78nd832Tu
No, wait, he’ll just get ideas that I would rather he not follow through with. It could just be a comedy, then I’ll be able to see his smile again. I’ve never heard him laugh before, it would be nice to hear it.
729Please respect copyright.PENANAng8eDxdavG
Shit! Why am I so selfish to think like that? I shouldn’t be planning like this. I’ll be forcing him to laugh and smile when he doesn’t do that regularly! I’m going to make him be something that he isn’t.
729Please respect copyright.PENANAV86Dn29SOa
“Jesus, Max, you’re just picking a genre. There aren’t even that many!”
729Please respect copyright.PENANAxey2WZOXZL
“I’m sorry…”
729Please respect copyright.PENANAb9LixuSVPi
I pull my head away, only to be cupped by Akira’s hand. He pulled me into a deep kiss. This one wasn’t hungry, just deep and passionate. Our lips separated so we could breathe, but Akira pulled me back in quickly. We repeated the action, which means… holy shit, we're making out!
729Please respect copyright.PENANAso99VY9MMj
Did we have to watch a movie? Couldn’t we just make out on the couch or whatever? God, I need help.
729Please respect copyright.PENANAXSuxt6vf7Q
“You know,” Akria spoke between kisses, “we could just do this for a while.”
Akira stopped the session by placing his thumb over my lips. He dragged his thumb across my bottom lip, pulling it down slightly. He licked his lips, a familiar-looking hunger glazing his eyes, yet he waited for me to give an answer.
729Please respect copyright.PENANAJpglsnqMHK
I need to get him to hate me, “Why don’t we watch a Sci-Fi movie?”
729Please respect copyright.PENANAsqkz9N2nB4
I don’t understand how quickly he could turn off the hunger, but it was gone now, “Great! Your movies are on your bookshelf, right? I’ll be back. Just wait on the couch for me.”
729Please respect copyright.PENANA2bkBsvAlQw
With that, he went upstairs to my room. I brought my hand up to my lips, lost in thought with the memory of what just happened. I gave a sigh before making my way to our living room. Of course, I took a small pit stop at the front door to lock it.
729Please respect copyright.PENANAqYDakhO0J0
The couch wasn’t anything special, but definitely big enough for at least four people. I sat at one of the ends, wanting to put as much space between me and Akira as possible. Hopefully, he takes the hint. It wasn’t long until Akira came down the stairs, a movie in hand. I couldn’t see what it was, but if I owned it, I must like it. I need to add another punishment for thinking like that.
729Please respect copyright.PENANAh1h2JcTPCh
Whenever I go over to people’s houses, which is not very often, I always ask how to do something or if I’m allowed to do something. But Akira just put in the movie like it was nothing. I don’t even know how to work the damn thing!
729Please respect copyright.PENANAgRkyUE9XRr
The movie began, and Akira sat at the other end of the couch. Well, by sitting, I mean he laid down. His feet were about a foot away from me. How could he be this relaxed?!
729Please respect copyright.PENANAo17TA1OkJ3
“Max.”
729Please respect copyright.PENANAOycMJm481o
I turned my attention to Akira, the same smile as before resting on his face as he patted his chest. I tilted my head, confused as to what he wanted. Akira chuckled before sitting up and reaching out to me.
729Please respect copyright.PENANAXXNllOHuXj
How the hell did I end up lying on top of Akira?! My hands were on his chest, and Akira’s attention went straight to the unknown movie. My heart can’t take these kinds of actions. I can feel it almost bursting with embarrassment.
729Please respect copyright.PENANAbQkXkvBkWi
I felt something on my head, something moving. Oh God, he’s playing with my hair! That’s so sweet! Agh! Wait, I didn’t mean that! I take it back!
729Please respect copyright.PENANA0oGCHPkyFq
“You know you can get comfortable, right? Just make sure you stay on top of me.”
729Please respect copyright.PENANAcEbgT4F1WF
Akira’s words weren’t helping the situation. How can I get comfortable when I’m on top of a hot guy? Fuck! He’s not hot, not hot at all!
729Please respect copyright.PENANAkwMDcsCdAD
I’ve only dreamed of moments like this. My significant other and I would cuddle on the couch, holding hands and having random makeout sessions. Akira’s doing everything right… and at this rate…
729Please respect copyright.PENANA7v2iZB9e4r
No! Don’t think like that! You need to have Akira fall out of love, not you in love! But it’s not like I’m falling in love or anything! Nothing like that at all! We can barely call ourselves friends… right?
729Please respect copyright.PENANAZerjFcb11b
I don’t know, really, anything about Akira. I know he doesn’t get bad grades, even though he looks like the type that would. He usually dresses in all black and gives off a ‘you hurt my friends, and you’re dead’ vibe. That’s it! That’s all I know!
I guess you can count that I know he’s at least a bit gay. He said he liked me, well, ‘loved’ was the proper term. Either way, he swings in the same direction I do, but I don’t know if he swings both ways. I can’t recall him ever having a crush on a female, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t.
729Please respect copyright.PENANAoIkslZ01cr
I know so little about him, yet Akira says he loves me. How much does he know about me? Akira doesn’t seem like the guy to have a one-time fling with someone, but maybe he is. Again, I don’t know anything about him!
729Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZhNBdy25B
Something touched my head, taking me from my thoughts and scaring me slightly; enough to make me jump. A soft, deep chuckle rang in my ear, the hot breath and vibrations off Akira’s chest calming me down. Akira’s fingers moved slowly through my hair, and I couldn’t help but close my eyes at the feeling. Damn… he’s pretty good at that.
729Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZJAxiSTqn
I felt myself smile softly as Akira messaged my scalp. My body relaxed, and I laid my head down on his chest, listening to his heartbeat's soft thump. Akira shifted under me, pulling his other arm out from being pinned between the couch, and I felt him wrap his arm around me.
729Please respect copyright.PENANArbEIGcCpep
Safe… warm… fuzzy… I haven’t felt like this in a long time. Maybe ever? Is this what cuddling is supposed to feel like? I’ve never cuddled with someone before. I snuggled with my mom after having a bad dream, but that was when I was 7. I can admit… it feels nice.
