Yuvi woke up smiling, the night with Jum was extraordinary.
He didn't know why but he felt more satisfied with the teenage make out with Jum than all those mindless sexapades.
He woke up well slept but not with any misplaced guilt like he did for so many years.
It really felt good, it wasn't a nightmare, it felt like a dream after so long. Jum was shy and introvert but in front of a set of code, he transformed into a confident and dominant professional.
The contrast was striking and extremely appealing to Yuvi.
And he looked dreamy, with those upturned cat-like eyes and doll lips. When he came to his apartment for the first time wearing those sneakers, Yuvi wasn't sad to look at them but felt a wave of happy nostalgia.
His familiar nightmare of Ryan disappearing in the rain, had changed into him hugging Yuvi and stroking his hair, but this time it was Jum.
Both in his half-asleep dream and his fully awake body, he knew and wanted him.
Yuvi woke up aroused and realised Jum was in his bed.
He was done controlling himself and kissed Jum.
It was so much more than Yuvi had imagined it would be to be with him.
Jum's body was hard and soft, small but strong.Β He held Yuvi with restrained strength and multiplied passion.
Yuvi desperately wanted to take off the two soft layers of clothes separating them but he couldn't help feeling guilty to go on but he couldn't stop either.
He had cum in his underwear feeling satiated after so many years and the best part was cuddling into Jum's chest.
Yuvi couldn't stop smiling as he laid on his bed, his eyes still shut, thinking about the night.
"Jum, Oh My God! Jum!" He smiled, he always appreciated a brilliant mind which Jum did have but it was his overall personality that made him extremely attractive and that beautiful body, the body that fitted with him perfectly.
His body was too small for Yuvi's shorts. Seeing him in the boxers and his t-shirt had removed all confusions and aroused Yuvi. He was sexually attracted to Jum and he didn't want to ignore it anymore. Jum wasn't someone he could find in a hook-up app or a pub. He was someone who just happened to be put in your life by fate, he had tugged at his heart and mind after so long.
"Too Soon! You are thinking all this too soon!" Yuvi said loudly as he sat on the bed and placed his feet on the floor.
"Need to get it all set and date Jum!" He ordered his reflection as he brushed his teeth. He touched his tattoo and looked up, "Ryan, sweetie are we okay? Is it okay to feel like this for someone else? I really like him!" He had made up his mind, he was going to pursue Jum. "I need to clear this with my HR head." Yuvi needed Jum in his life and he wanted all the loose ends tied up properly.
He went straight to the home office when he couldn't find Jum anywhere else, he wasn't there. Yuvi looked around the large apartment and it was empty like before. He looked at his phone and Jum had left a message. 'Going Out!'
Yuvi was really disappointed that Jum wasn't there after he woke up. This feeling of longing after one person was not alien but forgotten and it was refreshing to feel them after so long without remorse.
He felt hurt and angry... and alive. Angry at himself that he had gone back for Jum and taken him to his bed and hurt that Jum seemed to have liked what happened between them but probably regretted it in the morning. Alive, to lust and obsess for someone after so long.
"What are you doing with your junior analyst? This is intimidation and undue advancement as we are working from my home and he is small and cute and vulnerable!" He berated himself. "And I want to punish him and make him moan my name aloud!" He added loudly.
****
Yuvi released some of his anger in the home gym and then towards the development team whose customisation Jum had penetrated and Yuvi had fixed during the holidays.
He got on a conference call with Ester, his Development head and Hans, the Quality head (Jum's reviewing manager).
"I didn't want to ruin your vacations but I need to talk to the development team of RSF Insurance version.
They have been testing the beta version for 3 months and Jum broke the code in 9 hours!" Yuvi said with restrained anger, never raising his voice, keeping his tone level but clearly upset.
That's when the doorbell rang and he hung up the conference after setting up an in-person meeting with the team.
He opened the door wearing a sweatshirt over his shorts and bare feet. It was Jum.
****
Jum had sent Yuvi a message and was out of the house before he woke up. The whole night was surreal for him and he was getting emotionally involved, this wasn't a crush anymore.
Ben was out of reach and hence his confusion was now ten folds. Jum hemmed and hawed for some time, then took a shower, changed and got out of his small apartment.
Now he was standing at Yuvi's doorstep with bagels and his laptop bag.
Yuvi stood transfixed, looking handsome and sexy, unable to look away from Jum. He got sexier as a big smile spread on his handsome face and Jum instinctively looked down, he was wearing the old white-orange sneakers.
"Thought will need my lucky sneakers today!" Jum said and closed the door behind him, he kept looking everywhere else but Yuvi.
"Jum!" Yuvi called out to a nervous Jum, his voice sounding husky to him as well. Jum looked up and blinked and gulped, dimples forming and disappearing on his face, like raindrops falling on a calm lake surface.
Yuvi took the bagels and bag from Jum, kept it on the table next to the door and took Jum in his arms, leant in and kissed him happily.
Jum reciprocated with a moan and threw his body at Yuvi, hugging him tightly as they continued kissing. Yuvi paused and parted just enough to look at him, that's when Jum started panicking. His insecurities yelling, RUN!
"Sir! Hmmm Yuvi!" he didn't look at Yuvi and pushed Yuvi a bit and straightened up.
"Did I offend you or something?" Yuvi refused to move as he looked at Jum.
"No, No, it's not you Sir ... I don't want to mess this up." Jum said, now fiddling with Yuvi's sleeves, picking invisible lint.
Yuvi touched Jum's hand on his sleeve lightly with his fingertips, "I am sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable in any way Jum, if it happened it was totally unintentional." He moved closer. "But I want to ... you know ... be with you... what I mean to say is ...uhm... date you!"
Jum caught Yuvi's hand and looked at him, his face flushed, "Sir ... eh Yuvi ... I really like you, like really... really like you. I took the job because I have a crush on you and thought I could see you at team meetings, dinners and motivation sessions, town halls, that kind of setting where you meet your CEO. This..." he looked at Yuvi's face for a second and then looked down,"This is totally unexpected and extraordinary. I know with the way you are... you know, beautiful... Prince... sexy and all, it must sound silly but being around you is like taking a roller coaster ride for me and I have been doing that since the time you came up to my cubicle."
"Like I make you sick!" Yuvi tried humour and his face got closer.
"No, I love roller coasters, it is thrilling and scary at the same time, and you feel stupid to have gotten on the ride but feel disappointed when it suddenly ends. I don't know if I should say it but you are the sexiest man I have ever encountered." He shut up and gulped when Yuvi kissed his forehead.
"It's not because you look like ... you know what you look like, but for me your sharp mind and intellect, its plain sexy. The way you smell like a musk deer, your breath when you come close to me when we are typing codes, its exotic and makes me want to ... taste you."
He said and sighed when Yuvi kissed his disappearing dimple.
"Then go ahead." Yuvi kissed his nose.
"Go ahead for what?" Jum was genuinely confused with the statement.
"Taste me!" and Yuvi kissed him, pecked his lips and then separated them and licked his bottom lip and broke contact and waited a hair length away from his lips.
