"Eat." He said, shoving the meat in his mouth. "If you feel sad and brokenhearted, just eat. I'll cover up." And just like that, the man with a rugged appearance and a cape covered him while he started crying while eating.
Auren almost choked at what he was eating, but then again, the man saved him by giving him a wooden cup full of water. "Thanks." Auren sniffed and then continued eating.
After the meal, Auren looked up to the guy and saw him looking anywhere but at him. Auren knew in an instant that he respected his privacy and how he hid him from the crowd. He didn't want him to be judged by the people, nor did he want to make them curious about him. He's a lifesaver, indeed.
Auren looked down at his plate after that, and just then, the man instinctively took the plate back, asking if he wanted more. "Should I get another?" he asked, but Auren shook his head, no. So he nodded. "Do you..." The guy hesitated, "wanted to have some fun? With me... I mean, if you want to. I-I don't bite."
Auren blinked repeatedly before looking up at the guy again.Why would someone ask him to be with them if they didn't even know each other's names? He doesn't bite? What is he? A dog? An untrustworthy person is the only one who would say that, so why? Why would he ask him out? Is this a date? No! It's a feast that means eating, drinking, and dancing like a date thing.
Right, it's a date thing!
Auren frowns and says, "I don't know you." He blunts.
"And I, you." The man instantly answered. He looked at him for a second just to avert his eyes again before touching his left cheek with his finger. "But for some reason, I can't take my eyes off you for a second... thinking that something might have happened to you."
What a nice guy! Auren liked him already! He's handsome and cute at the same time with those gestures. He really melts into something pleasing in the eyes. Especially those who only have their eyes on him.
Auren tried to contradict the thought, but he knew he couldn't. He fell too easily with handsome guys, plus they're so kind in this world, he didn't know if it was really easy to communicate with someone you just met. And he, too, doesn't want to trust with his own judgement because of what just happened to him and Lyore.
Auren shifted awkwardly at the guy's sentences. He wanted to reject him until he saw Lyore looking for him in the crowd, so he instinctively hid behind the guy's back. He tried to peek at the guy's shoulder, but the guy turned around to face him and hug him tight. Auren felt the guy's chest muscles. It's not too big or complex, it's soft and warm.
"He's gone." The guy said, but didn't shove Auren away from him. Instead, he lifted his chin after seeing someone coming their way. "I'm sorry." He whispered and put a kiss on Auren's lips.
Auren felt the warm lips against this cold night air. He felt nostalgic, like it was from the guy he had his first kiss with while he was in his world. That's why he instinctively kissed back. He opened his lips a little, making the guy pull away from him for a while, but continued kissing him after he saw how Auren liked it. The kiss seemed passionate from the perspective of the people looking at them, making them fall back and let them have their moment.
After a full two minutes of their tongue-licking experience, they looked into each other's eyes. Auren saw how those blue eyes looked at him deeply, wanting more than a kiss, but the guy knew he couldn't take the initiative any more than what he did. He didn't like the guy, Auren, to hate him by crossing the line. So he backed away and shyly scratched the back of his head.
"I'm -"
"It's fine. I..." Auren hesitated. "I liked it too." Auren averted his eyes from the guy. His face felt hot, so he fanned it with his hand.
The man looked back at Auren, and when he saw him awkwardly fanning himself, he immediately hugged him. "I'm sorry. I don't know what came to me." He said and pulled back. "Could you ever forgive me? And also... thank you for liking it."
The man smiled sweetly at the moment, making Auren's eyes twinkle with lust and pulling him in for another kiss. Not thinking about why he did it, he just wants to be in the moment with this person. A guy he barely knew, and hopefully forget about Lyore and his heartbreak.
After the short kiss, Auren dared to pull the guy for a dance at the next song.A song became two, and Auren was then drunk with the blissful night. He didn't care what would happen next. He didn't care if he got wasted and made the man his first. He knew if he acted like this, his ass wouldn't be the way it was before. And he likes the sound of that. He does want to respect his body, but just this time, he wants to do what he likes, and at the moment, it is this unknown kind of guy.
After two dances, Auren pulled the guy away from the feast and kissed him again in the corner of the street. Not giving a damn about what other people say. And when he does, the guy pulls him back for another kiss, making them more provocative than they were before.
"Should we do this somewhere else?" the guy asked, making Auren flinch.
Auren felt like he had been poured a bucket of cold water. Cold ran down his skin as he remembered how the night started and how he ran away from Lyore. Making him shove the guy and get away.
"I'm sorry. I was just..." Auren didn't know what to say as he saw the man shocked and then made a sour smile.
"Just having fun... right?" He continued with a bitter smile. His eyes are closed, and then he turns around. "Thank you for the night." He added, then walked away.
Auren almost stopped him, but he chose not to and walked away in the other direction.
He liked the guy. He feels so much more than a one-night stand. He looks and feels so good, and is kind enough to end it when he wants. But Auren knew he had unfinished business with Lyore. This time, he's gonna face Lyore and tell him what he truly feels. He liked to have more than a friend status with Lyore, even if there was a huge possibility that he would reject him for good. He wants it to be Lyore.
So Auren gets back to the feast and gets drunk. After doing so, he didn't know how, but he found Lyore.
He was drunk on alcohol. He didn't even know some of the events he had with Lyore. What they've talked about and how they got to their house. He just found himself holding someone's arm. Lyore, perhaps? After that, he felt a pang of pain in his lower part, making him gasp for air.
"Does it hurt?" he asked, but Auren shook his head. "Can I move?" Auren nodded, hugging the man's neck.
After a while, Auren let go just to kiss the guy he was having sex with. It's not just ordinary sex. He felt how he was guiding the man. The intense heat is on par with how he had a fever when just awakened as a guide, but something more. He liked that heat.
Even more so, he liked how this person slowed and lovingly shoved his dick inside his ass. Damn, it felt so good. It hurts, but as this man put his technique on sex, it was so good. Their moans echoed through the room, and under just a few more thrusts, Auren finally came, leaving the other one frustrated by the fact that after he came, he fell asleep.It was an insane sex. So short yet felt really good. And even the man accepted his fate and just kissed Auren goodnight.
Then the next morning came. Auren woke up to the intense rumbling of the footsteps of men wearing metal. And without another word, knights from the palace burst inside his room before he even got up.
"Get out!" The knight named Eivan, with raven hair, shouted out when he saw Auren's confusion. Eivan was wearing a simple shirt and pants when he passed among those other knights. The knights had already gone out when Eivan knelt in front of Auren. "My apologies for bursting in like that. I hope you understand that they are just doing what they're told. I would also like to announce that the king wanted you to accompany me to the palace because he had a proposal. If you could get ready." He added, averting his eyes from the naked Auren.
Confused about everything, Auren looked at himself just to see the aftermath of the night before.
