Noah was so overwhelmed by Aiden's gesture that he couldn't think straight. His heart felt like it was about to explode. When Aiden was back from the restroom, Noah had an urge to hold him, hug him, and kiss him senseless. God only knows how he controlled himself.
Aiden was flustered when he saw Noah intensely looking at him without blinking. It was as if Noah was staring into his soul.
" So let's go shopping for tomorrow's party," Jay interrupted his thoughts.
" Party?" Aiden asked, confused.
" Noah's parents' Anniversary party." Jay looked at Noah and asked, " You didn't invite him?"
" He's coming..., right?" Noah looked at Aiden with expectation.
" I-I don't think..."
" Please don't say no. I want you to meet my parents."
This was truly awkward for Aiden. " But I..."
" Pleaseeee...." Noah appealed dramatically. " I won't stop asking until you say yes.
" That's my roommate, Aiden," Noah introduced Aiden to his parents." And he's my dad Daryl and mom, Amelia."" It's good to finally meet you. We have heard a lot about you from Noah," Daryl said with a smile." Happy Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Wright," Aiden wished and smiled awkwardly at Daryl and Amelia, wondering why Noah would discuss him with his parents. He suddenly stiffened when Amelia hugged him lovingly."I was dying to meet you," Amelia said, breaking the hug while Aiden was surprised at their excitement over seeing him.Is this how all friends' parents behave?Aiden's awkwardness in being at this party soon faded away because, exactly like Noah, even his family members were easy to talk to. Soon the time flew by, and Aiden no longer felt out of place." He's so cute," Noah's sister Nora whispered to Noah, looking at Aiden talking to Jay and Rob." I t
" Why are you not saying anything?" Noah asked desperately when he saw Aiden simply sitting there looking stunned." Ummmm... I..." Aiden was lost for words. He was so overwhelmed by Noah's proposal that he still couldn't believe his ears. Noah's genuine emotions showed in his eyes, and Aiden wanted to hold on to him.He had been deprived of love and care for years. His own parents didn't want him, nor did his adoptive parents. Dylan, whom he thought could be his brother, regarded him as nothing but an object in his possession. And now, a person he knew only for a month claims to be in love with him.Was it not too good to be true?Do such things actually happen?
The next few months were the best time in Aiden's life. He and Noah were officially dating, and Noah was the best boyfriend anyone could ever have. Noah couldn't seem to get enough of his boyfriend and stuck to him at all times except during their classes. They went on dates whenever they had free time from their hectic schedule. Sometimes, Aiden even accompanied Noah to his home, and he had eventually gotten closer to Noah's family.Aiden had just finished his last semester exam while Noah and his friends waited for him in the cafeteria. Aiden was already late as his Professor had requested his help to put back the papers in his office. By the time Aiden left the office, the building was almost deserted when his senior, Stan, stopped him. " Finally, I found you alone."" I-I got to go," Aiden said and tried to leave, but Stan grabbed him and pus
Smut warning:This chapter contains explicit sexual scenes!! Please proceed with caution ;)Aiden was feeling restless. The encounter with his parents was disturbing enough, but right now, the thing that troubled him even more was that Noah would reject him." Can you tell me what's going on?" Noah asked, sitting beside Aiden on his bed." T-They just wanted to meet me."" Why after so many years?" Noah asked, scrunching his brows. " ...And why did he hurt you?" He traced his fingers against the bandage on Aiden's wrist." Ummmm... T-They..." Aiden was thinking about what to say so that Noah wouldn't hate him because of his deranged family." We have been together for around six months now, but you still cannot open up to me," Noah said in a hurtful tone making Aiden look up to him." No...It's not that," Aiden said hurriedly.
Dylan finally found the person he was looking for. He saw Aiden entering the auditorium with a few others. Aiden raised his head to glance at the stage and suddenly looked down when he confirmed it was indeed Dylan. Dylan smirked at Aiden's reaction. He looked shocked and flustered, just as Dylan had expected.This would be fun.His dull mood had suddenly brightened up. He was losing his mind sitting with these boring people at a boring graduation ceremony.Dylan never liked to attend any events or parties unless absolutely necessary. He had joined his Dad's Business a year ago and had soon realized he had to maintain a facade. On the outside, he was this charming gentleman who was well behaved but equally dedicated and ruthless when it came to his Business.Over the years, Dylan has changed a lot. He was no longer the spoilt brat who was interested in nothing but partying and getting wasted with his frie
Noah's surprise was a luxurious apartment that he had just purchased." You bought it?" Aiden asked, shocked. " But you said you didn't like it."" But you like it," Noah beamed. " ...And whatever you like, I like."Aiden was shocked. " Are you...crazy?"" Crazy for you."" Did your parents pay for it?"" Of course not!!" Noah was offended." Don't underestimate your boyfriend," Rob added. " He is an author of a best-selling book that has already sold a few million copies."" Do you like the furniture?" Noah asked Aiden excitedly. " I've already bought your luggage and arranged it in our room."" How can I stay here just like that?" Aiden asked. " I will pay you."" What?" Noah looked hurt. " You are hurting my feelings."" But..."" No buts. I bought this house for us. It's yours as much as it's mine."" But how can I...?" Aiden was still reluctant." Don't overthink. I spent all my savings on the house, so I am
Aiden was feeling awkward being in the shopping mall with Dylan. He had never done this before with Dylan, not even when they were in their teens. Dylan himself wondered why he volunteered to shop for Aiden when he never shopped for his own clothes and had hired a designer for it.Dylan had taken Aiden to a branded store, and Aiden almost fainted at the cost of the suits." T-The prices are too expensive. I-I can't afford it," Aiden whispered." Have I ever asked you to pay for the things I gave you?" Dylan asked, raising a brow, and Aiden looked away, flustered.Dylan had given Aiden a lot of his dresses when they stayed at the Hunt mansion, but they were all basically Dylan's clothes, which he wore once or twice and got bored of it. It was never new. This time the situation was different. They were now adults, and Aiden didn't want to take anything from Dylan but was too scared to oppose him.
Aiden was too busy at his work. He and Noah hardly had any time together, and Noah was unhappy about it." You are so busy these days," Noah said beside Aiden while cuddling on the bed. " Work is busy. Lots of new projects."" You have no time for me now," Noah pouted." It's been four years, Noah," Aiden chuckled. " You always say that."" But previously, even if you were busy at least, I could see you studying in front of me, but now you come home so late every day."" We will have time on weekends, " Aiden said, turning around and staring at Noah. " Not this weekend."" Why not?"" Did you forget I have to go for the signing tour on Friday?" " Oh... That totally slipped my mind. How many days?"" A week at most," Noah said sadly." Why do you look so sad? It's just a matter of a week."" But I will miss you."" Well...I will miss you too, but we can talk on the phone."" Before that, I need you to do something for me," Noah said." What is it?"" I want you to come back home soo
