Even if Casper and Carmen lived in the same city it was rare that they hung out often anymore. Both busy with their own lives, Carmen dropped out of Highschool early to pursue her dreams as a "Ghost Hunter" and the two best friends didnt see each other since then. Since then, Casper finished high school and college, and was truly beginning his career as a biologist. He received texts from Carmen often, whether they were having a conversation or it was some cat meme she found at 3 in the morning, they tried to text often. What he was not expecting was to be invited out to lunch with a few other friends Cjs claims.

10:01am ; Hey Casper I was wondering if you wanted to go to lunch at the local cafe with me and some other friends of mine? 12pm, see ya there dude (their cool like us, dont worry ;) )
The invite gave him anxiety simply from the fact hed have to meet new people. Though he hadnt seen Cj in awhile and he couldnt deny that. Long time no see, right? He was an early bird, already dressed and ready for the day, but he was pretty far away from where the cafe was and where Carmen lived in general, so he decided to leave right now instead. With all the lights and how far he was, he would get there on time anyway.

Kyran had dialled Chi out of the blue. It wasn't strange, they were friends, probably the closest Chi or Ky had. The only thing was she'd made herself so busy that, even living in the same building, they rarely saw one another. He missed his friend, he wanted to see her, and rather than hanging back and waiting for her to throw the move, he did it himself, almost ecstatic as she picked up.

"Chichima!" He shouted, echoing around his empty apartment, "So since you've overloaded your work schedule --I saw from Twitter-- let's hang out, soon, before you start crying over rude clients, yeah?"

"Kyran, I love you, dearly, like a brother, but I'm in the middle of something right now and--" Chi sounded like she was whispering, trying to keep away from someone.

"Don't tell me you've already started, Chichi, we've talked about this--"

"No! I know, but I'm-I'm sort of doing something, like, a meeting thing-- not-not a date, but like, a-a meetup. Just a get-together. A friend."

"You have friends?"

"Ky. We're at Hana's, and I'd like it if--"

"Okay, well, I'll be over in a few, can't wait to meet this other friend! Ciao." And Kyran hung up before she could answer. What could he say? He was bored, and he was actually quite curious what person Chi had reeled in that wasn't completely busy like her, and had the time.

Fixing his hair in a mirror, he slipped on a jacket and beanie, slipping his wallet, keys and phone in his pocket before hopping out of his apartment, taking three steps at a time to the parking lot.

Casper was exactly on time when he finally arrived to the Cafe. He was honestly nervous. He hadnt seen Carmen in a few months, and now new friends? The simple thought of interaction with new people left the boy shivering for a moment. He sat in his car infront of the Cafe for a moment,staring at the glare of the windows with people inside. Propping open his car mirrior that was hooked to the ceiling he slightly fixed his thic curly hair; but it didnt budge a bit. Propping up his glasses and adjusting his green turtle neck, he closed up the mirror and opened the car door making sure to take slow step to delay going inside by a few seconds. Once seeing Carmen inside relief flooded over Casper. Walking up to her and the table she was sitting at, he looked across from them and saw another girl. She was well dressed and looked nice. Nothing to be worried about Casper. Carmen got up, giving the boy a bear hug and motioned him to sit on the other side of her. Casper didnt want the other girl to feel awkward or anything, despite not knowing her name so he gave her a nervous smile,"Hi Im Casper, Carmens friend. N-nice to meet you." Dammit, thought they could make it through a sentence without stuttering.

It wasn't long before Kyran was rolling up in his motorcycle. He tugged his helmet off, pursing his lips as he looked at the window he knew Chi would be sitting at. Okay, her her friend, Hana. Okay, and... some guy? He didn't look familiar. Ky knew a lot of people around town, but this guy? Must live pretty far in the city, Kyran usually only knew the people around his side of town. The girl looked familiar, some kid he'd seen in the newspaper at some point, so he could say she knew her. He was missing a name, something with a C came to mind, but he didn't think too much. He parked just behind Chi's cute bug, hanging his helmet on the handle. He texted her he was there about five seconds before he opened the door, the bell rattling as he entered.

"Hello!" He greeted, getting a dirty look from Hana, he gave an apologetic one, and she gave him a smile. He sauntered to Chi's table, basically picking her up out of the chair and giving her a kiss on the cheek, "Hey mini sis!" He set her back down, leaning against the last free seat, "Would you mind introducing me to these lovely darlings?"

Casper almost jumped at the loud greeting, Cj having to place a hand on his under the table as a silent comfort. That was something to get used to. Upon seeing the guy he didnt look to bad despite his loud voice. Casper opened his mouth to speak, but Carmen had answered for him,"Names Cj, and this is my friend Casper." He was slightly annoyed she answered for him but also relieved, seeing as this avoided any more stuttering. But he didnt want to come across as a guy that needed someone to answer for him,"Hi, its nice to meet you." he greeted softly. His voice was much quieter then Kyrans, having the silky accent of his Australian heritage to go along with it. But hey, he didnt stutter and that was a silent win.

"I knew it started with a C! I've seen you in the papers, the uh, paranormal group? Cool stuff!" He yelped when he felt Chi elbow him in the leg, motioning with her eyes to sit down. He laughed nervously, following silent orders. He could have melted when Casper spoke. What could he say? He was a sucker for accents, and Casper's was thick. He grinned.

"Ah, Australiano, hm? Me gusta," Ky basically purred, not flirtatiously, but it could be taken like that, "I'm Kyran, Chichi's best friend, who doubles as an adopted big brother." When Chi gave him a sharp look he only gave her a laugh in response. He leant back in his chair, sitting with his leg on his knee, arms crossed over his chest, eyes narrowed with his ever present grin setting off his gentle dimples.

Cj gave a brief thanks to Kyran and a welcoming smile before turning to Chi and mumbling something about takeout. Casper only flushed at Kyrans..er,compliment? and it didnt help that with his skin tone that everything could be shown. "Y-yeah,its my homeland." its all he could simply say. He didnt really know how to keep conversations going, or how to even start them, but Kyran seemed bold and confident to pick up the slack in that department."Im just plain ol Casper, Im the person Carmen texts pictures of her cat to at unreasonable times in the morning." Carmen simply shrugged, she couldnt really deny it. "Do you live on this side of town?" now when he spoke Casper took in how thick his own accent was. His cheeks were probably still red.

Ky watched the boy blush. Cute. That's about all he could say. He didn't mention it, he side-eyed Chi, who was busy talking to CJ. He was actually here to visit her, not make new friends, not that he minded. He sort of liked this Casper character. He was pretty soft spoken, so Kyran would turn his flamboyancy down. For now, at least, so he could get used to him without chasing him off. He looked at Hana and gave a small wave with a smile. To which she replied with by shouting at the workers in the back Kyran's usual order.

"Thanks, Han, you're a doll!" He said, earning an eye roll, then he turned his attention back to the boy in front of him, "Oh, yes actually, you know the high rise apartments? I live there, a floor above my lovely sister here." He gestured briefly to Chi, "What about you, hm? I've not seen you around before."

Casper tucked a stray curl behind his ear. "I live a bit farther from here, about two hours by the hospitals and stuff. Im a b-biologist." God did that sound so nerdy. Once the words left his mouth he kind of regretted it, over thinking things like usual but he couldnt help it. He wasnt interesting, at least to himself he was a boring person. Finished Highschool and college to become a scientist, thats about it. But he guessed Ky must have some high paying job to be living in such fancy apartments. He took a side glance as Carmen and she seemed to busy herself with talking to he assumed was Chi. It had been awhile since he had a day out with people, not knowing alot of people out on his side of town or simply hanging out with work friends. Though it wasnt the same, and Kyran seemed to be nice. He didnt know why he was worry so much.

The man hummed as the boy talked. Well, he didn't talk much, but he really couldn't get enough of his voice. It wasn't just the accent, it was the way he spoke, too. The way he put words together. It wasn't interesting, but Ky liked it. Smooth, sultry. He was so outside the box, over the top, he really didn't see why anyone spent the time to talk to someone who would eventually talk more than them and talk over them. Really, he could speak for two, and then some.

"Ah," He cooed, "Inteligente, hm, Cas? I'm going to call you Cas. I'm an entrepreneur myself. I own a store, Diseño de Moda, here in town, a few blocks away from this shop. I have a personal fashion line there, and Chi here sells her makeup there. Brother sister business, sort of."

Hana came over with a cup, their largest size. He said a soft thank you and took a sip. really want Casper to know about it yet.

He raised an eyebrow at the nickname but didnt argue. "A business man? that sounds cool," hes heard of the place before, most people atleast owned one if not more things from the store itself. Hed check it out someday, maybe hed see Kyran there too. "Im just starting to get into the science industry, still trying to get on my feet from moving to America and all." he moved to America a few years ago, but it was still a major change to move all across the world to have more opportunities.Hell, it took him a month to adjust to the timezones. His nervousness was starting to ease a bit more;still clearly there though. The man was easy to talk to and seemed to pick up on social cues that the loud voices startled him a bit, which calmed him a bit. perhaps it was worth driving two hours for a lunch break.

"Eh, a drag sometimes, but you know. Not everyone loves their job all the time." Which was true. Ky needed a break from time to time. He had a few other stores in some other nearby cities, but that was it. His brand was popular though. It's what brought Chi up on the scale she was already on. He liked his job, most of the time.

The moving part, Kyran could understand. When he was younger, his mother and father immigrated from Mexico to here. It had been rough for him, it still was now. He could relate to Casper. He took a bit sip of his drink, "I'm sure what you do is much more interesting than selling things, no?"

"W-well," she paused for a moment thinking,"I work with genes, plants and animals, though its mainly working in a lab and staring at things that are very small through a scientist version of a magnifying glass." he gave a small chuckle. "Im sure youre quite busy running businesses and all,though I bet youre doing a good job, even when it gets a bit tough." thy gave a small encouraging smile. Besides working in a lab Casper did basic stuff, puzzles or watch documentaries on national geographic. "When Im not working though I like to take pictures, photography and that kind of stuff-just a hobby." his voice sounded a bit shyer this time,not in a sad way though. He wasnt proud of his photgraphy no matter how many times Carmen would gush over it. Maybe it was because he didnt really think high of himself in the first place, but he didnt talk about it to much.

Ky lit up at the mention of photography. Casper was already smart and got to do all that cool science stuff, and now he was a photographer on his lunch breaks? Seriously? This guy was something out of a movie, Kyran swore.

"Photography? Do you have any examples? I love photography." And he did. He loved how easily some people could manipulate a rainy day into a gorgeous picture. It was talent and hard work. It was something Kyran had always been jealous of. He was sure, now looking back on it, if he'd only had enough time and practice, he would have gotten pretty good at it, but he never had the knack for it. He couldn't take a scene and make it beautiful. He couldn't play with lighting, he couldn't shift angles, he wasn't that type of person. And if Casper could do it, Ky would really enjoy seeing that.

He was surprised that Ky cared about his hobby, but nodded along anyway,"Y-yeah Im sure I have something on my phone for you to look at." he took out his phone and unlocked it, clicking the the folder labeled as photography. He pulled up a picture Australian dessert at night time, the brown hues of the red sand blended in with the red purple sky. The camera had a fine lens and he was proud that he caught many of the stars in this picture. He slid the phone across the table in view for Kyran. "Its an older picture, b-but its something I took from Australia before I left. Not that good but..I still enjoy it," he scratched the back of his head in slight nervousness. He hadnt shown anyone his photos besides Carmen, and was frankly just afraid of opinions. Though he remembers taking that picture. It was a few weeks before he left to america and wanted to grab photos of his homeland before he had to leave to remember something bye.

It took a lot to shock Ky, even merely make him say wow. But the photo. It was all reds and oranges mixed with the deep blues of the night sky. There were so many stars. More stars than Kyran had seen, even in Mexico, even here. It was amazing. He picked up the phone, bringing it closer to his face. It was truly an amazing photo. He'd never really seen Australia himself, only in phone shots and cameras that were even decent quality, but this. It was a side of Australia he'd not seen before. He could say the same about Casper himself. Really, it was amazing.

Ky, frankly, was speechless, just a breathless wow escaping his lips as he put the phone down and slid it back over to Casper. It took him a moment to speak, "Wow, Casper. That is truly some talent, you'll have to show me how you do it sometime."

"T-thank you," he couldnt help but gush, accent thick, feeling a bit of heat rise to his cheeks again but he ignored it. "I havent shown anyone but Carmen my pictures, I get shy about it." Casper picked at his sweater slightly but he now couldn't stop smiling, showing his pearly whites and all, even if it was a small nervous smile; it was a genuine one. "And Id like this, I like teaching people." a simple compliment went a long way with Casper, and with the mans both surprised and good reaction it only made his heart swell a bit. "D-do you have any hobbies?"

Kyran stirred his drink, swirling it around in its big cup. He just wanted to listen to Casper talk. He could listen to him stutter all day, and for once, Ky didn't feel like talking up a storm, and that was definitely something new. He snorted and rolled his eyes with a sigh.

"Frankly, I wish. Too busy working my company to have many hobbies. Other than annoying little sister?" A hand flitted to Chi for a moment, "Not much. Sometimes I read if given the time." That was a thing Kyran hated. Apart from the annoying customers, ignorant cashiers, and people gushing over him anytime he left the vicinity of his usual neighbourhood, he hated that he didn't get much time to be with himself or his friends. Sure, he could higher people to deal with that, but that was the part of his job that kept him humble and grounded, reminding him that he was still a normal person, even if he had a very successful company.

Chi's schedule was flexible, for the most part. She could pick and choose, decline and deny, but Ky was sort of stuck. Same things all day every day. He could change that, but he didn't want to. He could make things flexible, he was the big boss of his company, but he didn't want to. Well, maybe if Cas asked him with that pretty accent, he would.

Kyran stirred his drink, swirling it around in its big cup. He just wanted to listen to Casper talk. He could listen to him stutter all day, and for once, Ky didn't feel like talking up a storm, and that was definitely something new. He snorted and rolled his eyes with a sigh.

"Frankly, I wish. Too busy working my company to have many hobbies. Other than annoying little sister?" A hand flitted to Chi for a moment, "Not much. Sometimes I read if given the time." That was a thing Kyran hated.

"You should take breaks more often then, life isnt all about work sometimes." he already had one workaholic friend, he didnt need another. He paused for a moment in thought. He seemed like a busy guy, but with the simple conversation Casper was just growing more and more eagar to talk to him,"I-I know it sounds weird and all but, I havent taken that many pictures since Ive been to America," he picked at the hem of his sweater again,"you seem like you could be a model,theres a forest nearby town thats really pretty-Ive been wanting to take pictures of it for awhile." once he spoke and rethought the words he had just said, calling Kyran and model and all, he could feel his face glow red in embarrassment "T-that sounded c-creepy-Im sorry, s-sounded better in my head.."

Humming, he took a long drink, listening to Casper's proposal. It wouldn't be the first time someone's asked him to model, after all, he did own a fashion line and had modelled most of it himself when he'd first started out. Ky gave him a sympathetic look, placing both hands on the table.

"Oh, no, no, no, cariño, it's okay," He said, voice soft but insistent, "I understand, really. I know what you're talking about, that place is gorgeous. It looks amazing at this time of year, early autumn? Simplemente hermoso," Kyran cooed, He really wouldn't mind getting into modelling again, it was something like tying your shoes; once you learned how to, you never really forget it.

Besides, it had been a while since he'd been around town, and with a cute new friend, that would make it much better. Besides, Casper was right, he did work too much too often, even Chi would agree to that, and she was more of a hard worker than him! Still, the difference between them was that Chi could pace herself, and Ky just wanted to work nonstop.

Casper looked back up at Kyran only to be greeted with kind eyes. That calmed some of his anxiety. "Its not like a normal photo shoot though," he looked towards his phone again in thought,"its not really focusing on the person in it or what their w-wearing, but whats around it." Casper could rant all day about photography. He liked to capture moments of the world; not necessary people per say. In most photos people were always the main focus in the photo, whether its for advertising, clothing, selfies or social media, people always put themselves as the focus. Casper on the other hand made people the background of the photo, not the main focus entirely (though if he was going to be taking pictures of Kyran, it was going to be pretty hard for him to focus in general). Most photos that Capser took were either pictures of nature, cities and stuff. If people were in the photos they were a minor part of it, taking a photo in action as if there wasnt even a camera there. It was probably not something Ky was used to to Caspers knowledge, used to bright lights and modeling a certain way, doing certain poses and having bright white lights every where. This on the other hand was more simple. Just one camera and a whole forest to capture.

Nodding, Ky knew what he was talking about. When he tried to study photography, he knew some people were great at people shots, other better at nature. Nature was probably more Casper's thing.

Ky noticed the girl, CJ was it? Standing up and ordering things to go from Hana out of the corner of his eye. They came out in no time and Chi was standing up to leave with her. With a sideways grin, he tapped her on the shoulder, and when she looked, she rolled her eyes and flicked him on the side of the head, only to kiss it better, and move to the door to leave. For the most part, he'd been tuning the two out, but he always had an eye out for his little sister.

"Well, we'd better get a move on, I'm afraid our lady friends here are going to leave us here," Kyran said with a wink, standing from his chair and picking up his drink, he extended his hand for Casper to take, if he wanted to, he wouldn't be offended if he didn't.

Noticing Carmen getting up to leave, he could only raise an eyebrow. She called him out here just to leave? Sounds like a Carmen move, seeing as she was pretty interested in whatever Chi was saying. But Casper didnt mind, mumbling a few sarcastic words with a smile before the two girls left. Now, he was alone with Kyran. Carmen was like his safety blanket, a constant support wall whenever he was with new people. He could feel nervousness rack through him again, but when looking at Ky he just..couldnt help but calm a bit. He seemed funny and an easy person to talk to. Looking up he took Kyrans hand. Kys hand was much bigger then Caspers petite ones, but it felt nice. It was still midday and sunny outside, the trees were turning all sorts of colors and a look of pure, childish excitement flooded Casper realizing that hed be able to take pictures of it today, completely tuning out that he was still hold Kys hand as he stood up. "Oh the trees are so pretty, I cant wait." it was a drastic change in mood, seeing as moments before he was a stuttering mess just sitting under Kyrans gaze, but his mind was focused and confident when it came to photgraphy, that he just forgot he was hold the other mans hand. He did this with alot of his friends, whether it was holding their hands or leaning on them; Casper was a touchy person. Looking out the window their table was by wide green eyes looked outside, the busy cars passing by and the chattering people of the streets. But it wasnt them he looked at, but the pretty color of the trees as the color reflected off of his glasses.

Kyran hummed quietly, a smile spreading on his lips. The guy was cute, what could he say? The way he lit up about photography and nature was charming, in a way. A way that had Ky's heart melting for him. But Kyran had just met the guy, there was no way he was falling for him, love, at first sight, doesn't exist. Ky knew that better than anyone. But this shy, stuttery guy who looked like he'd just popped out of a movie set was... different. Odd. New. Something Kyran wasn't at all used to. Casper made him want to stop talking just to listen for once, seriously? That was something even Chi couldn't achieve, and she was his best friend for nearly three years!

He didn't mind when Casper didn't let go of his hand, it was all about the other person's comfort level anyway. He pulled gently on his arm, leading him to the door, "Come on, I know the best place for the kinds of pictures you take," He said, opening the door for Casper.

At the tug of his arm he realized that he was still holding his hand. He had litterally just met the guy probably an hour or so ago and he was holding hands with him? The thought made Casper want to pull away his hand;not because he wanted to but because he didnt want Ky to think he was clingy or anything. But he didnt pull away, instead keeping his hand in his firmly. As he was going out he was curious as to where Kyran was going to take him. Normally he wouldnt travel with a stranger..well, newly made friend? alone by himself, but he always had Carmen on speed dial. "Is it a surprise?"

"It can be if you like, cariño," Ky said, going to his motorcycle and opening the small backspace where he kept an extra helmet. Sometimes Chi would need a ride, or they'd go out together, so Ky always carried around one extra for her. He turned and grabbed his own helmet from the handle. He tucked his own under his arm and offered the other to Casper, putting it against his chest.

"So, friendly ghost," He purred, smoothly getting into his motorcycle,"¿Únete a mi?" He put the helmet on. It was black, and the visor was tinted, the same style as the one he gave Casper, only the helmet was grey and the visor wasn't completely tinted. He turned the ignition, waiting expectantly for the other to join him.

Casper blushed at the the petname biting his lip slightly before nodding and taking the helmet from where it was pressed in his chest "Of c-course." he knew Spanish and many other languages, but right now he focused to much on how Ky basically purred the petname to him then responding in the matching language. He adjusted his glasses and dark curls out of his face before putting the helmet on; it fit him perfectly. Stepping onto the motor cycle too he slipped his arms around Kyrans waist in support. He could feel more heat rise to his cheeks and his glasses fog up because of it; but he was glad he was wearing a helmet and Ky most likely couldnt see. Resting the side of his head on Kyrans back he pipped up,"Ready when you are,Cosa linda." he couldnt let Ky have all the fun with the petnames.

Ky nearly burst out laughing, not that what or how Casper had said was incorrect in any way, he just found it funny how his Australian accent mixed with a Hispanic one in an attempt to make the word sound correct. Instead, he choked with a snort and a giggle as he revved the engine, peeling out of the parking space and down the road. It didn't matter who was riding with him, if it was any first timer, he made it a ride to remember. He cut around other cars, nearly missing a few close clips. He took sharp turns around corners with ease, like he'd done it a million times. If he was honest, he had.

Kyran couldn't help smiling. He liked the speed when he did this. Usually, he paid a lot of attention to the road rules, even stopped to window shop, things like that. But he wasn't about to drag Casper around the block to bore him to death with that. He'd promised a pretty place for him to capture, and that's exactly where he was taking him.

"And I thought I was a s-speeder." he couldnt help but mumble. While the close clips gave him mini heart attacks, he was enjoying the ride. He let his grip tighten around Kyrans waist like his life depended on it(and it kinda did). Besides that he was enjoying the ride, the colors of street lights and store signs past by him in a blur, enjoying the subtle breeze through the helmet that made his curls tickle his cheek a bit. Normall Casper would be freaking out about now. When Carmen would let him ride along on her motor cycle hed always beg to get off the whole time. But this time he was simply silent, enjoying the ride and enjoying the heat Kyrans body provided against the chilling breeze of early fall. It felt nice.

After a while Ky started to slow down, taking a softer turn left into the forest just cut off by the park. Soon, the paved road broke off to gravel, that soon enough turned to dirt. The ruts that had once been there were filled, very faint. It'd been a while since even Ky had been here, but it was so familiar. The wind wasn't blowing past them anymore if anything, a light breeze. The path was obviously there for hikers, but Ky cut through a clear part just wide enough for his motorcycle. Soon, the trees began to thin out, revealing a small clearing with a few stumps, logs, and an old fire pit that hadn't been used in a while. It was obvious the work was amateur, but it was overgrown now, so it looked a bit better.

Kyran slowed the bike to a stop, putting his foot down to balance the bike. He undid the velcro that kept the helmet to his head and pulled it off, taking a deep breath and running a hand through his mussed hair, now even messier from helmet hair. He dropped the kickstand and pulled himself off the bike.

"Apologies about the rough journey, friend." Ky stretched, reaching his arms up, folding his hands together and turning them up, then bringing them behind his back, "I haven't been here in a while, it's an old camp site some coworkers and I made on our two weeks off for renovations of the store," He explained, putting the helmet on the seat and looking at Casper, "This isn't what I really wanted to show you, there's a little sinkhole place nearby that's filled with water, I used to go diving with mis amigos there. It was surrounded by the best types of trees, they always turned earlier than most in the fall, yellow and orange and red while some were still green. It was beautiful, and I'm sure it still is." Ky realised he was talking with his hands and starting to ramble. He cleared his throat and tucked his hands in his back pockets, tilting his head down as he looked at Casper, gaze faltering, "Shall we go see, amigo?"

Casper took off his helmet, thick hair fluffed out even more from helmet hair. He placed the helmet neatly on the seat he was sitting on. From the way Ky described it the place sounded beautiful-he could practically feel stars forming in his eyes from excitement. It sounded wonderful, and he couldnt believe he hadnt heard of it before. Tightening the strap on his camera bag that had been slung around his shoulder, he pulled his camera out. It was a large and expensive Sony camera, it didnt have one scratch on it. He prized himself for it, and it took good photos. He put the camera strap around his neck so there would be no worries of dropping any time soon, though Casper still kept it in his hands and finger grazing the button incase there were any photos hed want to take on the way there. With a free hand he held it out to Kyran with an excited smile,"It sounds beautiful Kyran, lead me the way?"

With a free hand he held it out to Kyran with an excited smile,"It sounds beautiful Kyran, lead me the way?"
"Con alegría," Kyran basically sang, gently taking Casper's hand and turning toward a very specific side of the clearing, it looked like any other side, but the way Ky was walking to it made it look more important. Approaching it, there was some makeshift foliage in the way, cut off branches and leaves from other trees disguising the entry to a very clear path fairly well. He moved the leaves out of the way, leading Casper in before letting them fall back into place.

He took lead again, swinging his and Casper's hands gently as they walked down the path. It was so familiar to him, so easy to find. He could basically see and hear his friends laughing and talking along the path. It wasn't that they weren't friends anymore, just that they all worked too much to possibly take even a mere weekend off to enjoy their old get together place. He took a deep breath of the forest, what had once been his home away from home. Maybe he should get them together again and start giving them more holidays off.

The path was tunnel-like, the canopy above fairly thick, blocking out most of the sun, leaving a few windows for the rays to spill in. He stopped at a tree, squinting at the roughly healed bark. In the wood, there were names. One of them Ky's own, and five others. Jack, Lynn, Mia, Seth, and Forrest were the ones most faint, among Ky's own. There was a fresher one. Chi. They'd come here maybe half a year or so after becoming friends, he remembered. He let go of Casper's hand a moment, feeling around the back side of the tree and pulling something out, his hand coming back around with a knife.

He blew on it and squinted. Still sharp, slightly rusted. He looked back at the tree. Jack and Lynn had left the company some time ago. They kept in touch sometimes. Mia still worked with him but in a different state, along with Seth and Forrest. Chi didn't need an explanation. He realised the whole scene looked a little sketchy, so he turned around, holding the knife by the blade, "This is a bit awkward and looks a bit suspicious, but I swear to you it isn't like that." He took the knife and folded it, gesturing to the carvings in the tree.

"My friends, and the latest addition, we carved our names here. Young, dumb, childish things, you know. If you like, you can add yourself, yes?" He held the folded pocket knife out to Casper, gently, not forcefully, he didn't want to scare the guy.

Mia still worked with him but in a different state, along with Seth and Forrest. Chi didn't need an explanation. He realised the whole scene looked a little sketchy, so he turned around, holding the knife by the blade, "This is a bit awkward and looks a bit suspicious, but I swear to you it isn't like that." He took the knife and folded it, gesturing to the carvings in the tree.

"My friends, and the latest addition, we carved our names here. Young, dumb, childish things, you know. If you like, you can add yourself, yes?" He held the folded pocket knife out to Casper, gently, not forcefully, he didn't want to scare the guy.
He let Kyran take the lead; basically putting all of his trust in him. It wasnt every day that you meet someone and go out in the forest in the same day. He gazed at the scenery along the path' looking up at the thick trees; few sun rays peeking through that provided dappled patterns around him. He snapped a few shots of the scene; some from above him that shows the thick leaves creating a tunnel pattern, and the side views that shows the old trees along either side of the path; wild flowers and plants that have seem to take over everything. And he snapped a shot infront of him. It was a simple but pretty photo; it showed the backside of Kyran though you could still clearly seem their interwind hands at the very bottom of the shot. In the photo above you could see the shadows of the tree leaves and the pretty beams of sunlight poking through that lit up strands of Kyrans dark hair perfectly. He snapped a few more just incase. When he let go of his hand and took out a pocket knife, looking at the tree Casper grew a bit worried, gripping his camera a bit tighter then usual, but softened when he saw the faded names. "Even if you did m-murder me out here Id have proof." Casper gave a small giggle and only smiled more at the offer,"M-me? Im really flatter Kyran." his smile beamed, showing all of his teeth and making his eyes curve a bit smaller. Gentle taking the knife from his hand he flipped it up, showing the rusty blade. Just to think that all of Kys other close friends had signed their name on the tree, and now it was his turn. His heart swelled as he covered his name in boxy letters, not spelling his name Casper, but instead the nickname 'Cassy'. He turned to Kyran for a moment,"Its a nickname I was called as a kid, you can call me it if youd like. Just dont tell Carmen about it-she'll never left me hear the end of it." He figured since the other guy was basically sharing the source of good memories, he could share something with him that only he could call him. He handed Ky his knife back, switching it closed before turning around and snapping a photo of it. He wanted to remember this.

Flattered? Really? It had only been a sign of friendship, really. All his other friends had scratched their names into it. Perhaps CJ would too if they ever came out here together. Ky nodded and smiled, watching him etch the childish name into the smooth tree bark. When handed the knife, he opened it and reached back around the tree, sticking it back in its place. He took Casper's hand again, leading him just a few more steps before moving more fake trees and leaves out of the way, the sound of rushing water coming up loudly into the muted forest.

In front of them was the sink hole that Ky had described. It was somewhat far down, but a reasonable place to go cliff diving. Across from it, a river that split into a small waterfall, flowing almost endlessly into the pool at the bottom. As promised, the trees around the hole were already turning oranges and reds, some even falling down into the water. There was an old ladder nearby, made of metal, still bolted down and stable, albeit a bit rusty. The water was higher than the last time he'd been there. The sun reflecting off of the water and casting light onto the sides of the hole, the whole scene seemed to have come right out of a movie.

Ky let go of Casper's hand as he lead him forward, stopping to lean against a tree, shoving his hands in his pockets. He smiled softly, remembering the times he'd been there with his friends, with Chi, and now with Casper. He watched the morning sunlight glinting off his glasses, shining through his hair in a way that made some parts look golden. Ky put his had on the tree, tilting it at an angle.

"It's beautiful, no?" He murmured gently, as if any louder would destroy the peace of it all. He was speaking more towards Casper than about the scenery. He looked away towards the falls before Casper could notice.

Capser simply didnt have words. He didnt say anything, instead sitting on the edge of the cliff and letting his feet dangle dangerously. He didnt care though, he focused on the scenery instead, eyes not sure what to gaze at first. There was so much to look at; the pretty coloring and shades of the trees. Even if they were relatively the same color, there were so many shades to look at. The water was well..very far down. But it looked relatively clear and inviting, the blues clashed with the auttum colors of the leaves draped across the water too. And the falls; Casper could stare at the forever, He almost forgot about his camera, to busy looking at the sight before him. Taking out his camera he held it up to his eyes in focus, sticking out his tongue a bit as he got some shots of the water, but it wasnt to long before he put the camera down again and let it hang around his neck. He looked behind him to where Kyran was standing, leaning against the tree. The sun looked like it was haloing around his lanky frame, illuminating his golden skin and dark hair. Casper couldnt help was snap a photo,"Quiet." puting his camera down again he patted a spot next to him, motioning for him to sit by him.

Kyran heard the click, but he was so used to the familiar sound, he barely batted an eye. But he did see Casper motion for him to sit, so he did, getting off the tree and settling beside the other man, keeping one knee up against his chest. He squinted, the sun shining into his eyes as he took in the surroundings. He sighed, content, it was quiet here. Nice. He could spend all day looking at the falls. He could spend all day looking at it with Casper. He could spend all day looking at Casper. He shook the thought out of his head, looking down at the water below. He smiled.

"The first time I went diving here I nearly broke my leg." He murmured softly, the scene playing out in his head, "My friend, Seth, I was hesitating and the tonto shoved me off." He sighed, dropping his leg and leaning back on his hands with a sigh, "It taught me a very valuable lesson. Never trust Seth on a cliff." And he laughed, a rich, hearty laugh, low and sweet, but not loud. He flicked a piece of hair from his eyes.

Casper wanted to melt at that laugh. For as loud as Kyran greeted himself earlier he seemed..more quiet. very real and genuine. the sound made his heart flutter, of what-he didnt know but he decided to just roll with it anyway. He chuckled along with Kyran his memory; imaging the scene through his own eyes. Friends laughing and playing before swoop- right off the cliff. "I'd probably have a heart attack if were p-pushed off." he followed Kyrans gaze down to the dark rushing water. The soft mist of the water fall cooled his face, making his curls flutter a bit. He looked back towards the Hispanic. He didnt care that the sun was in his face or his hair was fluffing out in whatever places, he enjoyed this. "You know," he paused, taking a glance at their dangling feet,"normally Id be to scared to even get near a place like this." he didnt know why he felt at ease, like nothing would happen. Normally hed be worrying if he got to close he would fall into the water, that hed flip and fall and something would happen. Yet here he was, dangling his feet like a toddler over a cliff with no fear in the world. He gave himself silent bonus points for not stuttering this time.

Kyran cocked a brow, though didn't look for Casper to see it. He just looked down at the water, kicking his legs gently over the cliff. As much as he wanted to look at Casper, he was afraid he'd just end up staring, and Kyran was not someone for long, awkward staring. He took a breath, fingers tapping, eager to move. Their hands were so close. When Casper had kept holding his own, it was odd. A feeling flooded his chest, filling his lungs, bubbling up to his throat, threatening to pour from his mouth. But he swallowed it down and kept looking at the water.

"What is changing that?" He asked, voice still soft in the middle of the quiet scene. Something might shatter if he spoke too loud.

"Its better to be at a scary place with someone," eh wasnt stuttering anymore. He growing used to Kyrans presence more and more. He didnt know why, he had only met him today. Carmen was a friend of almost 4 years and it took a year or two for him to get truly comfortable around her. It scared him how comfortable he felt around him. He noticed how close their hands were. He didnt think that hed be here conquering one of his huge fears effortlessly due to a guy he barely knew bringing him along. But he didnt care,"But thank you for taking me out here, I dont remember the last time Ive been to a place that wasnt holding labs." he gave a small chuckle,"you seem like a good mate." now in Australia mate was usually referring to a friend or simply a person you knew, he didnt really know it meant like er, partner in america.

The last word caught Ky off guard. Mate? That was... completely normal. Australians. Right. The whole mate thing was about friends. Not... that. He laughed again at his own mistake, but sighed, falling onto his back and tucking his arms behind his head.

"Australiano, amigo mío, ha sido un placer," Kyran murmured, more to himself than to Casper, sounding content. His hair fell back, revealing his whole face to the sun that accented it so flawlessly. His eyes were closed, a light smile playing on his lips. It felt nice out here. He'd probably go diving right them if he wasn't wearing his own expensive clothing line. He wouldn't care if Casper was there or not, in fact, he'd probably prefer him to be there.

"My pleasure," Kyran said, not sure if Casper understood Spanish fluently, though he obviously knew some of the language.

Casper looked next to him and couldnt help but snap a few more photos of Kyran. Hed never say it out loud, but the guy was attractive. Looking back at his camera he reviewed the photos he had taken. The ones of the forest and the trees, the tunnel path and the carved wood that now held his name. He came across the picture he had taken awhile go, the same photo where he could still see his hand intertwined with Kyrans, the forest surrounding him. He bookmarked that one. He checked the time it was on his camera and noticed it was getting late. Well not really late, but late considering he lived two hours away and liked to be in his bed by nine sharp. He didnt have work tomorrow, but he liked his bedtime. He couldnt find it in him to part with Kyran and the scenery;mainly Ky. So instead he stayed silent, enjoying the nature around him as he listened to every sound and relaxing.

It was a while before Kyran said anything. As loud as he was, as much as he loved it, he could appreciate the quiet. He loved the city, he loved the noise, but he could take the time to appreciate a beautiful, serene scene when there was one to appreciate. He could take the time to side-eye a pretty guy when he noticed one. He kept his eyes closed.

"Would you go diving here, Cas?" He asked. With me? He wanted to add but kept quiet. Perhaps, if they were all free, they could come here some time. As friends. Kyran was so busy running his business, he forgot what it felt like to just hang out with friends. No city, no customers, no business. Just friends, having fun, as friends do. That would be a welcome change for him.

He thought about the question for a moment. "If you did it with m-me, then maybe I would." Yes. There was no doubt that he would be nervous as hell even thinking about being by a cliff, much less jumping off of it into dark cold water. But the water looked to beautiful not to enjoy it, a vibrant blue that seemed to be made to jump in. He hadnt done anything like that before and would probably need a lot of reassurance from Ky, but he wasnt opposed to it. His phone vibrated in his back pocket. Taking it out and unlocking it real quick, he looked at the screen. No body had texted(Carmen was probably busy with Chi for all he knew) but instead a simple reminder on his phone. He had set it for when he needed to be on his way home so he didnt lose track of time. Out here he could sit out here for hours and lose track of time. He sighed. He wish he didnt live two hours away, then he could stay here with Ky for just a bit longer. "I s-should get going but.." he placed hi phone back in his pocket,"its just so pretty here. I w-wish I didnt live so far away from things like this."

Kyran pouted, and if he wasn't trying to not act like a child, he probably would have whined like one. Instead, he sat up, cocking his head to the side. Would that be weird to offer? Earlier you pulled a knife out of a tree and had to clarify you weren't out here to kill him, it's awkward now. But you want to keep him here. But he has to go home, that's hours away. Ky brought his hands into his lap, training his eyes on the water again. He cleared his throat and took a breath.

"If you want to stay here, I could find a nice hotel for you." He mentally kicked himself, "Or, if you prefer, my apartment is rather empty." The second offer was... vague. For some reason, Kyran couldn't just be straightforward and ask him if he'd want to stay at his apartment if they got in late. He just seemed to choke on the words.

His eyes widened slightly at the offer, running a hand nervously through his curly hair nervously. While he had only met the guy today, he didnt seem bad at all. They were friends now, right? "I wouldnt want to intrude on y-your living quarters and all.." he seemed like a good guy, last thing he wanted to do was to intrude on anything.

"Oh, cara de ángel, you would not be intruding on a thing. My apartment is empty, apart from Fuego, mi cachorro," Ky explained, leaning back on his palms again, "You do not have a fear of perros, do you?" He asked, the word for dog completely slipping his mind. Fuego was a big, white, American Samoyed that though she was a lap dog. Any time there you were sitting and there was enough space for her, you'd find yourself with a giant baby in your lap. She was sweet though, never bit anyone. And she was a rescue, so she trusted Kyran with her life. He'd gotten her as a rescued puppy when he was around 19. A gift from his abuela before he moved from the poorer, quieter part of the city to pursue his job in a place that was easier to get publicity from.

The sun was a little further from half way now, he could see it at the top of his view. The sun always set over the waterfall, and Kyran was wanting to see it before they left. Perhaps Casper could get some clear shots of it, too. Honestly, Kyran wouldn't mind sharing his apartment with someone. It always felt too big with just himself and Fuego there.

"I like dogs, Im sure I'll be fine," he smiled. It was really nice of him to offer a place to sleep so he could see the view. He didnt know how long they had been there but he didnt care. "I'll take your offer up, I d-dont feel like driving two hours anyway." he was glad he didnt have to leave early. The sun was over head of them and it would be setting probably within a few minutes, and Casper couldn't wait to see it.

He turned to Kyran, motioning to come closer with a dorky smile on his face,"Come take a picture with me," he wanted to remember this moment.

Ky was confused for a moment, but he didn't refuse, getting closer to the other boy and putting an arm on Casper's shoulder. He looked at him for a moment. They were very close right then, their faces mere inches apart. Kyran had gone to say something, but the words were now lost to him, as he was lost in Casper's eyes. He'd thought they were brown, or maybe a hazel with green accents, but now he saw they were a very rich, very true olive green. He'd never noticed them before. He felt the brush of Casper's breath on his lips and Kyran could have kissed him. His phone buzzed.

He jumped, backing away quick, laughing nervously as he ran a hand through his hair. He pulled his phone from his inside jacket pocket and looked at the screen. Of course. The pairs had disappeared and she was worried. Nothing new.

"Disculpas, it's Chichima," He said softly, face slightly flushed as he quickly answered the text. He turned off his phone and shoved it in his pocket, getting close to Casper again, "¿Inténtalo de nuevo?" He cooed with a crooked grin.

Ky was confused for a moment, but he didn't refuse, getting closer to the other boy and putting an arm on Casper's shoulder. He looked at him for a moment. They were very close right then, their faces mere inches apart. Kyran had gone to say something, but the words were now lost to him, as he was lost in Casper's eyes. He'd thought they were brown, or maybe a hazel with green accents, but now he saw they were a very rich, very true olive green. He'd never noticed them before. He felt the brush of Casper's breath on his lips and Kyran could have kissed him. His phone buzzed.

As soon as Ky came closer it seemed the mood had changed. The water from the falls quieted as he felt the secure arm around his shoulders. And then he looked at him. Kyran was gazing back back him, deep brown eyes with accents of copper. He could feel his cheeks become heated and red but he didnt care. He was so..close he could feel his breath on his lips. He inched the camera down and began to lean-
and of course, the phone buzzed. It made Casper jump for a second, going from basically kissing Kyran with his eyes to such a noise. he fiddled with the collar of his turtle neck nervously as Ky texted Chi back. When he came close again he gave a small nod and a nervous smile, deciding to lean his head against Kyrans so their cheeks were smushed together in a dorky way. Hopefully he couldnt feel how warm they were. He held the camera up again with a free hand, it facing them,"Say cheese!"

The smile was genuine, the edges of his eyes squinting, causing crows feet that were already faintly showing. Once the camera clicked a few times, he pulled away. Casper's face had been so warm, what was that about? Kyran brushed it off as it was a humid day even though it just might be the furthest thing from it. He pulled out his phone again, switching to the front facing camera and leaning back against Casper, taking a few pictures while he wasn't looking before nudging his leg.

"Sonrisa, chico lindo!" When the pictures were done, Ky sat up, scrolling through his gallery. Casper was more attractive than he'd admit, really. The way the low sun cupped the angles of his face, shining through his hair. How it highlighted the edges of his glasses, the sun backlighting him in a way that made him look ethereal. He couldn't help but smile.

He watched Ky scroll through his phone through the photos hed taken. He guessed it was fair, seeing as Casper has now many photos of him. He stood up too. He scrolled through the photos, they were cute. The way his eyes squinted in the most genuine and pure thing he had ever scene. He turned around and took a few last snapshots of the water and the woods around them before putting his camera back in his camera bag. He didnt zip it up though. He pulled out a smaller camera; a Polaroid. You didnt see many of them anymore, but Casper managed to grab one. It was a bold move but he grabbed the hand that Ky wasnt using for his phone, and holding it. He snapped a quick shot of their hands with the Polaroid, the film coming out immediately after. He didnt let go of Kyrans hand though, instead putting the camera away and taking the film out of it, shaking it for a moment for the ink to set. Soon the black ink faded into the colors of the picture,it was just a simple pictures of their hands intertwind. But Casper liked it anyway, carefully putting it in his pocket.

The sudden move took Kyran by surprise, not that he was against it, it just seemed like a bold move. Especially for someone as anxiety-ridden as Casper, he really hadn't expected it. By the time he registered what happened, he only saw Casper tucking a polaroid photo away. He looked down. He hadn't let go. Neither did Kyran. He just smiled warmly, putting his phone away and tugging Casper towards the entrance they came through. He moved the faux branches, leading Casper through before himself. They walked down the tunnel, the light much dimmer. The passed the name-carved tree and the bundle of bushes. They were back out the other side in no time. The whole time, Kyran didn't let go of Casper's hand.

The whole walk there he couldnt help but think about the moment on the cliff. He couldnt tell if Kyran was going to kiss him or not. Its just..the way he looked at him, those soft brown eyes staring at him. He couldnt get over how close they were. He questioned himself for a moment, was he going to kiss Kyran back? Meeting a guy,befriending him, and kissing him in the same day? When putting it like that it sounded a bit crazy but..Casper didnt mind it. He was glad that Kyran hadnt let go of his hand. He intertwined their fingers. It was darker. Time really did fly. Casper almost forgot that they were heading back to his apartment, too. Soon they were met with the camp grounds again that they started at, Kyrans motor cycle in view. It felt like they had just gone on a secret adventure that none of the world knew about;just them.

It was only when he had to grab the helmets that Kyran finally let go of the other's hand, albeit reluctant. He picked up his own helmet, then grabbed Casper's, holding it out this time, not pressing it to his chest. He smiled, putting his own helmet on and climbing onto his bike.

"I hope you enjoyed yourself here, cariño. It means a lot to me," He said with a hidden grin as he turned the engine over. He'd drive a lot slower this time.

He couldnt help but feel giddy like a kid when strapping on his helmet, only to sit on the bike and eagerly wrap his arms around Kyrans thin frame tightly, letting his head rest along Kys back. It felt different from the drive here, holding him left his heart beating a little bit faster. Well, he better get used to it seeing as hes staying over the guys house tonight.

Once he was sure Casper was situated tight, he turned the bars and sped out of the clearing, taking the small space slowly, but speeding up again as they reached the bigger hiking path. He liked it, the way Casper's arms felt around his abdomen. It was nice. He shook his head, cursing himself mentally in Spanish as they turned onto gravel, then pavement. The sounds of the city began to filter in as he rode deeper into it. Normally, he'd take his usual shortcuts that always got him to the high rise faster, but he was taking a long way around. He didn't want to scare Casper by taking such a risky route. That's what he told himself. He didn't tell himself it was because he liked how it felt when Casper was pressed against his back. He didn't tell himself it was because he never wanted this night to end. He didn't tell himself it was because he liked the way Casper made fists in his jacket. No. That's definitely not why he wanted to take the short cuts.

Normally Casper would have been gazing at the scenery as they drove past it on the rode but instead he simply closed his eyes. The subtle wind that made its way through his helmet felt nice. He focused on the wind that wirled around his body, cooling it as Kyran keep driving. The noticed the route was a bit longer then the way they came, but he didnt mind. He secured his hands in Kyrans jacket pockets and allowed himself to enjoy the ride. For once he didnt think about work, and it seemed the hustling city noises were a blur to him as he simply focused on the boy infront of him. The comfort of his arms around him felt nice, and the wind felt breath taking. He was glad he took up the offer to head back to Kyrans place seeing as he didnt want this night to end.

Kyran was much more careful in his driving now, the sky was getting darker now. He swerved around a corner, slowing to a stop in front of the highrise he and Chi shared, taking a moment to park before sighing and popping his helmet off. He flicked the kickstand and turned the bike off, everything going much darker without the help of the headlights. Getting off, he tucked his helmet under his arm and extending his hand to take Casper's.

"I trust the ride was more pleasant?" He asked. He knew he'd scared Casper a bit the first trip around, so he'd tried to drive a little easier on the way back.

The sky was darker now, and he didn't see Chi's car back. Was she okay? If they ever split up like this she usually texted him where she was and who she was with, or something to reassure him she was safe. He'd have to text her after they got inside. He was beginning to worry.

And suddenly the ride was over, the bike was shut off, and it was dark outside. Casper took his helmet off, finding the back compartment of the bike it was usually kept in and neatly placed it in there, closing it. He took Kyrans hand, intertwining their fingers on instinct now. "Quiet," even if he spent most of the time focusing on how good it felt to have his arms wrapped around him-he'd say it was a good ride, safer then the first trip there. Looking up at the building through his glasses it was taller then his simple house, after all it was an apartment building. They looked clean with wealthy people within them, flower bushes neatly placed within sections of clean cut grass, the light painted building seemd to have not one speck of dirt on them. Carmen wasnt lying when she said this was the wealthy part of town. "Damn." he couldnt help but saying. he wasnt one to use 'cuss' words often or at all,but this was more like a multi house building rather then for apartments.

Kyran locked the back compartment, watching Casper stare at the high rise in awe for a moment. He smiled. He wasn't cocky about his wealth, that's not what he was smiling about. He was smiling about how pretty Casper looked when he was in awe. He'd seen it at the camp site, cupped by sunlight, now he was seeing it kissed by silver moonlight. He couldn't help it. He supposed he was a sucker for the shy, cute guys. The ones with dark, messy hair and thick-rimmed glasses that didn't sit right. The ones with olive-green eyes and a field of freckles on every patch of skin you could find. The ones that looked adorable when they were focused or in awe.

He cleared his throat, shaking his head as he pulled Casper towards the high rise, sounding just as confident and cheery as usual, "It is much prettier inside," He said with a laugh.

Casper followed along excitedly, his curls flopping on his head as he walked. "Are you sure this isnt a miniature house,Kyran?" the place sure did seem big and tall. As much as he loved his little home, filled with books and artifacts, he wouldnt mind living in a place like this. He could afford it, seeing as he was a scientist and all but his house was closer to his job. It felt weird sleeping in a place that wasnt his house, he hadnt been out in awhile. But it felt nice, even if he just met the guy and was going home in the same day. Some how it felt right.

"I can assure you that it is not," He purred. The door beeped as the pair entered, the secretary at the front giving Kyran a sly look as he passed, only being ignored. He gave them a wave, heading towards the elevator and pressing the up button. he only realised it would be an awkward situation when he lead Casper on, pressed the number for his floor and the doors closed. He lived on a high floor and the elevator, as smooth and pleasant as it was, was slow for that luxury. Usually, he didn't mind, any time he was home, he had time to take things slow, but when the pace of the elevator set in, he found himself getting awkward. That in itself was strange.

He didn't know whether to let go of Casper's hand or not or if he should. Was it awkward enough? Did Casper even want to let go? Was he finding it weird now? Kyran wasn't even sure he wanted to. He wasn't nervous or overthinking, he just felt weird in the languid pace. Even the light music playing didn't help it, in fact, it probably made the situation worse.

well. this was slow. normally it was hard for Casper to feel awkward despite his anxiety, but from going to an open space and a small conversation to well. this? was kinda weird. he didnt really have anything to look at, and a few moments had passed by that it would be weird to start a conversation when there had been silence for so long. He kept hold of his hand. Kyran wasnt leading him at the moment but it felt nice. All there was was the slight hum of the bland elevator music and the too bright florescent lights that made Caspers eyes squint a bit. Despite the awkwardness he was tired. It was early night time and around this time Casper would be showering, maybe eating dinner or something and preparing for bed. He wasnt a night owl. He let out a soft yawn, leaning his head on Kyran and closing his eyes. With the height difference it was a bit awkward, more leaning on his arm then his shoulder, but he didnt really care.

Kyran shuffled his feet, fingers tapping against his thigh. The bell dinged for every floor they passed. Casper was leaning on his shoulder. Yikes. For once the guy felt weird and out of place. He just shut his eyes and began to think. Not of Casper, but of what he had to do once he got home. He'd have to check emails, deal with paper work, probably take Fuego out, feed her and water her. Wait, where was Casper going to sleep? Unlike Chi's apartment, Ky only had one room for himself. There was the couch, but Ky didn't use it much, meaning it was pretty uncomfortable. He didn't want Casper to deal with that. Okay, easy solution, Cas could take his room, and he could take the couch. Boom, done.

But Ky started to think of that. Sharing one bed with Casper. He wouldn't mind it, really, it would be nice. Ky liked the warmth of sleeping with another person, he gave him nice memories of home. His hands running through his hair, tired morning voices. It brought warmth to Kyran's face. He snapped out of his dream, the last ding being surprisingly loud. Or maybe that was the only thing that brought him back. He cleared his throat and swallowed.

"This way," He said simply, gently taking Casper off his arm and leading him down a couple doors. Reluctantly, he let go of his hand, shoving a hand in his pocket and taking out his keys. He unlocked the door and pushed it open, only being allowed a few steps inside before familiar barks echoed through the apartment, getting louder and louder until a giant, sentient ball of white fluff came around a corner and ran right into Kyran's legs.

He laughed, crouching down and burying his hands in the silky fur, the Samoyed leaning into him and giving his face a few happy licks. Ky kissed the top of her head, mumbling some muffled baby words to her before sighing and standing up, facing Casper. He more or less spoke to the dog though.

"Esto es Casper, es un amigo," He murmured, rubbing behind the dog's ears,
"And Casper, this is Fuego."

Now Casper was shorter then the average guys height but he wasnt small. But jesus christ this dog was huge. As a biologist he loved animals, identifying what type of dog it was immediately. Watching her make way to Kyran he could have mistaken her for a large snowball. At first Casper gave a small yelp watching her walk over seeing how large she was, and how small he was starting to feel. But watching Kyran be so,,loving and soft to the dog he couldnt help but let all of that melt away and gave a small smile. Crouching down he hesitantly petted the dog, making sure to scratch behind her ears. He wish he had a dog. he simply wasnt home enough to give it the daily care that it needed Instead he had a snake named Cipher, a large albino python that was suppose to be experimented on, but had taken Casper heart and kept as a pet instead. It was different petting fur compared to petting scales, but she was to cute not to. "Shes really cute." it was like a kid seeing a puppy for the first time. He didnt have dogs growing up despite how much he wanted one;had never even petted one before so hed take this given chance.

It was different petting fur compared to petting scales, but she was to cute not to. "Shes really cute." it was like a kid seeing a puppy for the first time. He didnt have dogs growing up despite how much he wanted one;had never even petted one before so hed take this given chance.
Fuego let him pet her, leaning forward and giving him a good sniff before huffing and turning her attention back to Kyran, who gave her a tut and a stern tone.

"Fuego, ¿es una manera de tratar a un invitado?" The dog cocked her head and Kyran laughed, putting his keys on the key rack and kicking off his shoes. He slid off his jacket and hung it in the closet next to the front door. He walked further into the house and set his phone and wallet down on the coffee table in the living room. He ran hands through his hair, ruffling it and messing it up, then running a hand over it to smooth it down.

The apartment had a similar layout to Chi's, the main room was split, half living room half kitchen. Instead of a big window, there was a sliding door to a veranda, it went out a good couple of feet, giving a fair view of the city at its height. There was a hall, two doors on the right, and one on the left. The first door was another closet, the next was Kyran's room, both on the right. The room on the left was a simple bathroom.

The colour scheme was much plainer than Chi's, though. Mostly black and white, more of a modern touch that Chi's playful style. There was a couch that bent at one end and a free single chair that matched it. There was a fake fireplace with a stone mantle, a TV hung over it. There was a metal rectangle in the middle of it all, filled with sand and fake succulents. There was glass over the top of it, making it a functioning table. That was the right side of the room, the living room side. The left was a kitchen, plain stainless steel and grey granite with a kitchen island that functioned as a kitchen table. There was some modern decorating, and it was fairly clean.

There was one side of the room that stuck out, the far wall on the living room side. There were strings on a corkboard, and clipped to those strings were clothes pins, attached were Polaroid photos. There were a lot of them. Pictures of kids on a beach, eating dinner, a grandmother. Some were easily recognised as pictures of Ky, others more sketchy. In almost every picture though, there was an old woman, who just got older as the young kids got taller. There was writing on the bottom of the polaroids, but it was all in Spanish. It was a very noticeable decoration, as everything was so modern and professional like Kyran himself, and the corkboard looked like it belonged in a college dorm.

Kyran sat on the couch with a sigh, Fuego following him and hopping up onto it, laying her head in her lap. He laughed, "Fuego is not cute. She is a ferocious bear! No, she is a sweetheart, though. I think she likes you."

Standing up again he finally got a good look of the place. It was professional and modern, like something that youd see out of a bachlors decor magazine. It represented Kyran a lot in his opinion, but one thing caught his eye. The polaroids. He loved photos seeing as he took so many of them, taking a long look at the pictures. He smiled looking at them. Ky looked so little he could almost pinch his cheeks. He couldnt read the writing, he wasnt that good at Spanish to begin with and didnt want to keep Kyran waiting to long. He sat next to Kyran, gently putting his camera bag on the couch and giving both Ky and Fuego a smile. They were both cute. "She reminds me of a polar bear."

"Oh, she is a polar bear! Aren't you, niña?" Kyran laughed, giving her fur a good ruffle when he addressed her. She seemed to understand, as she gave him a look and cocked her head.

As Casper settled on the couch though, Fuego got up, walking carefully over Kyran's legs and settling down with her head and front paws on Casper's lap, looking up at him expectantly. Kyran grinned, nudging Casper with his elbow, "She likes you, Australiano! She's going to lie there until you do pet her, though," He said. The dog was still big enough to spread over the two of them, most of her abdomen and hind legs settling on Ky's own thighs.

He raised an eyebrow at the dogs sudden actions but he couldnt help but melt. He threaded his fingers in her thick white fur gently with the most childish smile. hed never say it out loud,but this was way better then petting a snake. To be honest of she was on her hind legs Casper could probably hug her like a human she seemed so big. She was big but seemed like a sweet heart and he was in childish glee finally getting to pet a dog for the first time. "This is the first dog I have ever pet," most wouldnt believe it but it was true,"so Im glad I get to pet a polar bear as a dog first." the nervousness he had felt before was gone. He thought things would be awkward coming over to Kyrans apartment, but simply being settled on the couch with a large dog in his lap felt nice. Then he felt his phone buzz. With a free hand he slid his phone out of his back pocket, unlocking it only to see a new message from Carmen. he gave an confused expression. Carmen sounded..troubled to say the least especially wit the whole 'ASAP' at the end of the text. He turned to Ky, propping up his glasses,"Do you think tomorrow you can drive me to Carmens? I can get my car from Hanas shop later. She wants to talk to me apparently." hopefully she wanted to talk about something that was dumb and silly like usual, like Beyonce having twins or the Gabe dog dying. Whatever the case, Casper was her best friend and he would be there.

Nodding, Kyran hummed, "Of course, amigo." He snapped his fingers, and Fuego's head turned to him, he pointed away from himself, commanding something in Spanish, and the dog nodded, getting up gently, and hopping off the couch. He nodded, giving her a pet before standing up and starting toward the kitchen.

He reached into the cabinets above the refrigerator, producing a container of Milk Bones. He took one out and put the container back, snapping the treat in half and holding it out for Fuego, who took it very gingerly between her teeth before putting it all in her mouth and chewing. He held the other one up for Casper.

"You can give her this half if you like." He offered, putting the treat on the counter, far from the edge so Fuego couldn't jump up and steal it, "Are you hungry?" He asked, opening the refrigerator and starting to dig. Like Chi, he was a busy guy who didn't eat much else than boxed and frozen dinners and breakfast while grabbing lunch at fast restaurants, but he did have some things he kept in stock. Premade salads, almond milk, boxes of pancake mix, some bottles of juice and smoothies. Really the fridge of a hipster clothing designer, if we're being honest now. It was the sort of fridge of someone who lived a fast, busy life.

"I have no idea what you like, but does spaghetti sound ok?"

Casper eagerly took the dog treat, holding it out on his palm gently and letting her take it for herself. He took a peek at what was in Kyrans fridge and had to suppress a giggle. Hipster clothing designer indeed. Though he nodded at the sound of spaghetti. He suddenly realized he hadnt eaten for hours-it seemed like time flew by the more he spent with Kyran. "Sounds good to me," he balanced his elbows on the counter, resting his chin in the palms of his hands. But he realized something. He was spending the night yes but..he didnt really have any clothes here. And Casper being the clean freak that he could be at times didnt like to go to bed without feeling clean. "D-do you mind if I shower while you cook? I dont exsactly have clothes here but.." he let his sentence trail off. He didnt want to bluntly say he needed to borrow his clothes in order to shower. No. that would be weird.

"Estupendo!" Ky reached into his cabinets, taking out a package of dry noodles and a strainer. He began trying to remember exactly how to make spaghetti because it really had been a while since he'd cooked anything, but he didn't want to just heat something up for Casper, he'd feel guilty otherwise.

When he asked about showering, Kyran cocked a brow. He didn't question it thought, "Oh, of course. The bathroom is the door on the left," He said, taking out a pot from the bottom shelf, gesturing his head down the hall, "I should have some clothes you can wear."

"Thanks mate," he tried to remain calm and not stutter and walked away before his face became hot. It was a stupid thing to get flustered or heated by but. The thought of wearing Kyrans clothes. he made his way down the hall. It was decorated just as neatly and simple as the rest of the apartment and making his way towards the door. Flipping the light switch on he walked inside. It was simple and nice. Running the shower on he waited for it to get warm, sitting on the bathroom counter with his legs dangling. He couldnt stop thinking about what a good day it was. He had never been to the forest and he got to go there, see the pretty water and the dappled leaves of all sorts of colors. The way Kyrans hand felt in his. the way how close he got to him. So close he could feel his breath on his lips. he brought a hand up to his lips, fingers grazing over the soft skin on where he swore he could still feel his breath. Though steam of the warm shower water caught him out of his daze and he hopped of the counter. Hed think about it another time.

Ky set the pot on the stove, filling it with water and turning on the gas, blue flames sprouting up to bring the water to a boil. He took out a pan and put it in a different spot, turning on the heat. He dug through his fridge, taking out a few choice ingredients and putting them on the counter. He mixed and seasoned and soon enough, he had a sauce on simmer and was putting dry spaghetti noodles in the pot, waiting for them to cook. He leant against the kitchen island, arms folded across his chest, ankles crossed over one another. Fuego was laying down on the couch, knowing to keep out of the kitchen when Kyran was actually taking the time to cook.

It'd been a nice day so far, he got to see Chi and how she was doing, obviously making friends. That was easy for her, it seemed. He'd made a new friend, Casper. A cute Australian with plenty of angel kisses to go around. He'd taken him to the perfect place for photographs, his old camp site. He watched him light up and take plenty of pictures. He'd gotten close to him. Close enough to touch. Close enough to feel his breath on his lips.

Ky brought his fingers to his lips, face growing warm. Just thinking about it, he swore he felt Casper's warm breath there, lips not even an inch away. He could have done it. He could have kissed him. But he hadn't. He rubbed a hand over his face. He wouldn't stop thinking about it. It was only Fuego barking at him that snapped him out of his daydream. He swallowed.

"Right. Thank you, Fuego." He left the kitchen, going out onto the veranda and pouring Fuego some food of her own and pouring some fresh water into her bowl. Once he was done with that, he turned and went down the hall, going into his room and digging through his drawers. He kept his wardrobe updated, so he didn't have any extra clothes that were too big or too small for him to use. He took out a plain grey sweatshirt along with some black sweatpants, folding them neatly and hanging them over one arm.

He went down to the closet in the hall and took a clean towel off the top of the pile. He shut the door with his hip and turned around to give a few warning knocks on the door.

"Coming in, Cas," He said, twisting the knob and stepping into the room for just a moment to set the things on the sink counter where Casper would see them. He turned to leave, going back to the kitchen to find the food nearly done.

He undressed, placing his glasses and folding his clothes neatly and placed them onto the counter, and stepped into the warm water, letting it run over him. His thick curly hair soon flatten into more loose curls once wet, much softer and easier to handle then when dry. he ran his fingers through his hair and closed his eyes and just stood there. Work had been piling up at the lab to start off his career and he hadnt had a time to just..relax. Which is was he was keen on going to the camp grounds and enjoying a wonderful day with Kyran compared to spending it inside all day doing experiments. It felt refreshing to say the least to have something different. He opened his eyes and looked around the shower. Kyran wouldn't mind him using a bit of his soap, right? Probably not. Squirting some shampoo and conditioner in his palm he massaged his scalp, almost purring at how nice the water still felt. He did the same with the bar of soap and washed his body before rinsing everything and stepping out. He didnt even hear Kyran knock at the door. He immediately slipped his glasses on first, reaching for the towel and drying off. Looking at the clothes he raised an eyebrow.Ky wasnt that taller then him, maybe by a few inches but it was still a noticeable amount it seemed by looking at the clothing. He shrugged it off though, slipping on the sweatshirt that was a size to big for his small frame, and putting his legs through the sweat pants. He huffed looking at them. He had to bend down and roll up the ankles or else hed be tripping over himself. he folded the towel neatly along with his clothes and placed them along an empty shelf in the bathroom so he could pick up his things later. Casper walked out, cool air hitting his face compared to the steaming bathroom.His curls werent as fluffed out as before but still curled around his face nicely. The sweat shirt was baggy but he liked it, the material of the sleeves covered his fingers.For a second it felt weird that he was dressed in Kyrans clothes and smelled like him. But he didnt mind. He was clean and comfy and thats all that mattered. Much comfier then his own clothes. His mouth watered at the smell of the spices in the kitchen that brought a smile to his face as he entered,"Smells good," he walked over to one of the bar stools at the kitchen island watching him cook,"didnt know you were a cook too."

When he heard Casper come out of the bathroom and into the kitchen, he turned to speak to him but choked on a laugh. His clothes made the guy look 12! But he didn't say anything about it, just nodded and turned back to mixing more spices and vegetables into the spaghetti sauce. Ky scoffed, mocking offence.

"I am offended, Casper!" He laughed, dusting his hands off and rinsing his cutting board and knife in the sink before putting them in the dish washer. He had put on an apron after the sauce popped and had nearly stained his shirt, so now the white cloth draping his front was well-stained, some old and faded in washing, but some obviously fresh.

The noodles weren't done just yet. Kyran tucked his hands under his arms and leant against the counter, staring at the new, freshly showered Casper sitting at the kitchen island. He looked much younger and much smaller in the baggy sweats, his hair towel dried and more weighed down. He couldn't help but chuckle lightly.

"If my abuela taught me anything, it's how to cook. Something I will never forget!" He said pointedly before turning around and putting on some oven mitts to pick up the big, boiling pot. The strainer was on the other side of the sink, and he carefully poured out the water and noodles into the sink.

He propped an arm up and rested his chin on it, raising an eyebrow,"I will be the judge of that," he couldnt help but chuckle at him,"but it does smell Delicious, honestly." he probably hadnt eaten this morning. While talking his curls kept getting in the way. When damp it always got every where which was why he always kept a hair tie wrapped around his wrist. Running his fingers through his hair he pulled it up and tied the hair tie around it, only revealing more of his freckles that covered his face. his abuela...if Casper could remember anything from Spanish classes he took in highschool, that meant grandmother, right? That couldve possibly been the old woman Casper had saw in the Polaroid photos. He wouldnt question it though unless he brought it up. "Can I have a sample of the sauce? Just to make sure it holds up to my Australian standards, of course." he replied playfully. growing up his mother was the type to wake up early before he went to school to make him breakfast every day, holidays were like mini versions of buffets. He never took interest in cooking so Kyrans food was probably better then anything he could muster up himself.

Kyran put the pot in the sink, taking out the strainer and setting it on the counter. He reached into his cupboard for two plates, splitting the servings evenly on them, placing one in front of Casper, and one across from him for himself. He took an oven mitt and placed it on the island, taking the sauce pan from the stove and putting it on top of the mitt. At the request, he scoffed.

"Chico, I'm fairly sure your 'Australian Standards' are lower than my 'Mexican Standards." He shot back, turning to the utensil drawer and producing a ladle and two forks. He slid one fork over to Casper, then held out the ladle, "But if you must."

Casper could only let out a 'hmph' sound at his words. Though he couldnt really argue with how good the sauce smelled. Taking a sip from the ladle he looked up at Kyran,"mm, this is really good." he wouldnt expect a guy who only had frozen dinners a smoothies in his fridge to know how to cook, but he guessed he was learning new things as time went on. He couldnt remember the last time he had a home cooked meal, mainly ordering take out,frozen food he just had to heat up, or nothing at all. And frankly he didnt care if he was practically mouth watering at the sight of the food."Thank you for the food." if was the least he could say since he was offering him a place to sleep and cooking him a home cooked meal. he almost forgot he had a house two hours away as he felt rather cozy in bliss.

Ky hummed triumphantly before taking the ladle back and spooning some sauce onto Casper's place and a bit onto his own. He left the ladle in the bowl and pulled up a stool.

"Psh, do not thank me, Casper. Es un placer," He said with a smile. Really, as much as he didn't, he loved to cook. Because he was good at it, he liked cooking for other people. Besides, his abuela always told him to treat strangers kindly because those strangers just might return the favour. But he didn't say that because he didn't want a reward or anything just for being kind, but he supposed she meant that if you ever needed help, they'd be there to help you.

He could only smile as he reached for a fork and took a bite. Normally being the child he was he would have made the biggest slurping noise while eating noodles but. he was an adult. he may have looked like a 12 year old but he could eat maturely he decided. The food was just as Delicious as it smelled. He swallow his bite and took a glance at the boy next to him,"I'll have to repay you by cooking an Australian dish sometime." truly Kyran was being very nice to him, giving him some hospitality and everything. It wasnt often that you met a nice person and just bonded with them in the same day. Twisting his fork he took another mouth full.

He hummed at that with a nod. It was amazing that Kyran still had any sense of good food, seeing as most of it was packaged, but he wouldn't deny someone that wanted to cook for him. In fact, he was sort of flattered, really. He was flattered Casper wanted to do anything with him.

Kyran ate another forkful, the room growing quiet. It was a sort of comfortable quiet, though. The kind you find at a family dinner table after a fight and everyone has made up. Kyran liked that. It was odd, how everything had once been so fast and loud. That's just how Kyran lived his life. Fast, loud, blurry. Now, with Casper, it was so quiet. Quiet, slow, peaceful. It was weird, but Ky could say he was beginning to like it. But as he ate, a question crossed his mind. Did you want to kiss me? It even caught him by surprise, making him choke on his food and have to get up and grab a glass of water, draining half of it before his coughing settled down.

The quiet was nice,peaceful even. They didnt need to talk to remind eachother of their presence and it felt nice. He allowed his eyes to wander around the kitchen and inspecting every little detail as he ate. He felt a bit childish, wearing clothes to big for him and his feet couldnt even touch the ground as he allowed the to swing from the stool. At his house hed eat alone. His house was cozy but quiet with just him and Cipher there. He didnt know why this felt different. Maybe it was because he liked to presence of another person. Maybe he liked the presence of Ky. maybe he liked Ky.He was snapped out of his gaze and turned to Kyran with a slightly concerned look. he wasnt choking or anything, perhaps food just went down the wrong pipe. "Are you okay?"

Pounding his fist on his chest, he nodded, folding his arms on the table and resting his forehead on them as he got a few more coughs out. Eventually, it settled, but his eyes had been watering, and he didn't want Casper to have to worry.

"Sí, estoy perfectamente bien," He rasped, giving a thumbs up. He blinked the upcoming tears away and took a few steady breaths before he sat up again, flashing his usual award-winning smile. The thought crossed his mind again as he continued to eat.

Did you want to kiss me? What was that about? Kyran thought. Back in the forest, on the cliff. That had to be it. He thought for a moment, mulling it over. It would be an odd question to ask, a bit of a forward one, too. There was no way he could ask it. Not in a million years. But he was curious. Kyran knew he himself had wanted to close the gap, but now that he was thinking of it, did Casper even swing that way? Sure, he had no trouble holding his hand, but that didn't really mean anything.

Despite the thumbs up Casper was always a worrier,"Are you sure youre okay? Make sure to drink your water." his voice sounded like a mother cooing over their child or something to make sure they were okay. The coughing came out of no where and it had made Casper jump a little bit at first-but he was glad he was okay. Most of his food was gone at this point, he neatly placed his fork on the plate as he turned his attention immediately back to Kyran,"Dont want you dying on me or anything."

Kyran laughed, clearing his throat as the last of the fit was gone, as was his dinner. Noticing Cas was done with his, he picked up the empty pan and plates and moved to rinse them at the sink.

"Yes, I'm fine Cas, really. Just went down the wrong pipe." Ky assured him, placing the used dishes in the dish washer and starting it, now done with everything. He put the extra ingredients in their places and yawned, stretching his arms up over his head before letting them drop and shaking it out afterwards.

He cleared his throat, "Because you are my guest, you can take my room, and no arguments." He gave Casper a look that really left no room for any. Then, he turned and walked down the hall to his room, ready to get out of his clothes into more comfortable ones. He got to his room, not bothering to shut the door as he began to undress. He swapped his black jeans out for shorts that hung just above his knees, tossing the jeans and socks in his laundry hamper. He unbuttoned his shirt, draping it on the bed as he peeled off the white t-shirt underneath, sighing contentedly as he started to relax, rolling his shoulders and neck.

He opened his mouth to argue but huffed and closed it. He couldnt really argue. But it seemed like this night was almost..to good. Not that there was anything wrong with that, infact Casper was having one of the best times he had in awhile. He had went to a place that was stunning and took photos, ate a delicious meal and didnt even have to take the couch? And judging briefly one the wealth of Kyrans apartment his bed was probably worth one of Caspers limbs. It wasnt often that he was shown hospitality he was only thinking of ways to give something back. Well not right now atleast. Hed think fo something tomorrow or later in his time of how to repay him,maybe he could live up to his offer and cook for him in the morning or something. It was the least he could do. But the lingering thought kept coming up in his head. It came up on the ride home, it came up when he was in the shower. Of the moment on the cliff. It seemed like something out of a movie almost, the cool mist of the falls against his face as the breeze tickled his curls, the beautiful woodland that surrounded them and it seemed that they were in their own moment at the time. He could remember taking a glance at them, he could still feel the breath they left. They looked so inviting...but. He didnt even know if Kyran was open to a relationship, even swung that way, even could possibly be returning these thoughts a mutual romantic frustration. He rested his head on his hand with squished up his cheek a bt causing one of his eyes to close and his glasses to become crooked. he wanted to stop thinking about it, but he couldnt.

Usually, Kyran would put on a shirt, especially because there was a bit of a stranger in his house. A bit because they are friends, friends that clicked instantly, and they were 'showering in your house' comfortable already, but he wasn't sure if even he, the guy who literally modeled nude for hundreds of strangers, was ready for the commitment of going the extra step to 'seeing you shirtless is a-ok' stage of a friendship. Then he just stopped over thinking, said screw it, and went down to the hallway closet to search for an extra pillow and blanket for himself.

Gathering it all, he shut the door and made his way to the living room, tossing the pillow on one and the blanket over the back of it. Ky let out a breath as he flopped back on the couch, rolling his head back. Then he remembered his room was actually his real, personal room. With things in it. Personal things. He called to Casper.

"And try not to dig into too much of my things, no?" He said with a playful grin, but there was an edge to the statement that meant he was serious.

Watching Kyran walk out of his bedroom with no shirt on he had to stop himself from violently coughing seeing as he choked on his spit, covering it up by just clearing his throat. Smooth.He stood up and walked passed Kyran in the living room, grabbing his phone from the table and making his way to the roo he was staying in. Digging through his stuff? Casper was a curious guy and all, but he would keep his hands to himself. He nodded,"I wont," replying respectfully and walked down the hallway to where he assumed his room was. Opening the door slowly he made his way over to a lamp that was at a bed side. The room was neat and relatively clean and decorated the same theme along with the rest of the house. It was nice to say the least, finding a spare charger by the night stand and plugging his phone in he settled under the covers, pulling them up to his chin and laying on his side to close his eyes. The bed was huge around him seeing as he was so small. It was also really empty. His thoughts went to sharing a bed with Kyran. He was out there sleeping on the couch for him and he knew it wasnt the couch good for sleeping on. Though he pushed the thought out of his head. Holding hands was one thing but sharing a bed was another. Kyran would probably think hes weird or something.

Kyran cocked his head at the coughing and was going to ask if Casper felt okay, but he was gone before he could even finish blinking. He shook his head, leaning over and plugging his phone into one of the many spare chargers he kept plugged in around his place. It vibrated as it turned on to charge. He hadn't realised it had died, that's probably why he hadn't gotten a call from Chi yet. He'd call her tomorrow at his alarm.

Hearing a whine, he remembered he'd left Fuego outside to eat. With a sigh, he let her in, and as soon as he laid down on the couch, her she was laying down beside him on the floor. He smiled, letting a hand fall to stroke her behind her ears. Kyran draped the blanket over himself and closed his eyes.

He rolled around, shifting to get comfortable. He was sleepy and tired, eyes heavy but he couldnt stop thinking. This bed was too big. To big to not sleep next to another person. He sat up, blindly looking around for his glasses on the bed. Finding them he picked them up and placed them on his face, standing up and walking to the entrance of the bedroom. He didnt feel nervous, when tired he was more blunt and straight forward. He walked down the hallway and proceeded into the living room. He caught the sight of him laying down. It hadnt been long, he doubted he was asleep. "Your beds to big. Come lay with me." He probably looked a bit funny, curls messy, tired looking with his glasses crooked but he couldnt sleep.

He turned over, looking confused at the sudden, and frankly blunt, request. Sitting up, Ky pulled off the blanket, running a hand through his hair as he gave a nervous laugh. He cocked his head, eyes narrowing as he thought he'd heard wrong because he knew he was definitely awake.

"Perdón?" Kyran was honestly confused at Casper's every change in behaviour. He had been a stuttering, shy mess that afternoon, and then in the evening he'd gotten over that to the point of even asking for a shower, and now being as forward and as blunt as literally asking to sleep in the same bed? Ky was known for mood changes, but Casper was remarkable in that sense.

"Your beds to big," he repeated though interrupted with a yawn,"come lay with me." He scratched the back of his neck. His eyes were lidded, tired, but held no nervousness in voice. It was a drastic personality change but when tired his anxiety went away along with his will to stay awake. "Its probably better then your couch, but if no I get it." Perhaps this was a bad idea. Perhaps he shouldn't have asked Kyran to share a bed. But despite that he did it anyway. Hed get it if Kyran said no, hell it wasnt even a full 24 hours since they met, but it worth asking. He could feel a bit of anxiety run through him but he didnt care. If Kyran denied Casper guessed hed just be sleeping with a body pillow tonight.

"Ah, no, no, it's fine," For once in their entire encounter, Kyran sounded... anxious? Not extremely noticeable like Casper, but somewhat by the waver in his voice. It even took him by surprise, but he didn't say anything, just stood almost obediently and nodded, flashing the sort of smile he gave customers when he actually worked the store. He walked to Casper, squinting a moment, then fixed his crooked glasses. Without much else, he started down the hallway to Casper's room. Well, his room. Casper was only using it for one night.

It felt nice to have his hands on his face, even if it were just for one moment to adjust his glasses. He followed along, trying to keep his eyes open so he could actually make his way to the bedroom. Once there he made his way to the side he was on before where his phone was plugged in. Casper could be described as a human heater, and figured out there was a reason they called these sweatshirts. He slid it off of him, folding the artical of clothing and placed it neatly on the large nightstand along with his glasses. He was the most buffest guy out there but wasnt skinny and lanky either. Having some chub on his tum but barely noticeable. Of course there were freckles every where you looked on him, basically a human version of connect the dots. Rolling into bed he did the same as before,brought the blanket up to his cheeks and closed his eyes. Though this time he didnt feel the same restlessness as before, the same urge that the bed was too big, the same urge that just wanted someone to sleep next to.

Kyran sat on the edge of the bed, sort of like it wasn't even his. He didn't know whether he was extremely comfortable sleeping in the same bed with someone, or he was so uncomfortable he was convincing himself he was comfortable with it. He shook his head. He had to stop thinking or he'd drive himself insane. He climbed under the covers, turning his body away from Casper in an attempt to forget he was there. Not in a negative way, but Kyran really wasn't used to sleeping with someone. Soon, he stopped thinking and stopped worrying about Casper enough for his breathing to slow and finally fall asleep.

Casper is what you call a starfish sleeper. If he wasnt cuddling you he most likely would take up the whole bed. Which is what ended up happening, not really taking up the whole bed but went past the imaginary line of personal space they had. He was laying on his back, eyes shut and lashes falling down on his sun kisses freckle face. His curls were spread out on the pillow, tinted with shine from the sun coming through the window, with the small peaceful rise and fall of his chest. Like this there were now signs of anxiety on Caspers face, no nervousness, nothing. Nothing but the peaceful expression of him sleeping. Now where was he? Not on his side of the bed of course. Instead one side of his body was pressed against Kyrans. This was completely unintentional. He just had a habit of subconsciously going to the nearest heat source there was when he slept. Hed never do this if he were awake, most likely if he woke up he jump away and start rambling apologies and run out of his apartment. But instead he was sleeping peacefully.

Casper is what you call a starfish sleeper. If he wasnt cuddling you he most likely would take up the whole bed. Which is what ended up happening, not really taking up the whole bed but went past the imaginary line of personal space they had. He was laying on his back, eyes shut and lashes falling down on his sun kisses freckle face. His curls were spread out on the pillow, tinted with shine from the sun coming through the window, with the small peaceful rise and fall of his chest. Like this there were now signs of anxiety on Caspers face, no nervousness, nothing. Nothing but the peaceful expression of him sleeping. Now where was he? Not on his side of the bed of course. Instead one side of his body was pressed against Kyrans. This was completely unintentional. He just had a habit of subconsciously going to the nearest heat source there was when he slept. Hed never do this if he were awake, most likely if he woke up he jump away and start rambling apologies and run out of his apartment. But instead he was sleeping peacefully.
Even without his alarm, Kyran managed to wake up at seven o'clock in the morning, eyes fluttering open as he stifled a yawn. At first, he really didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, but when he sat up he felt the sudden loss of warmth, more than usual. He looked over to his right, face flushing as he remembered he'd shared a bed with Casper last night. He leant over on one arm, head tilted with a small smile on his face. It was pretty, seeing Casper's round face framed by early morning sunlight. It was a different experience than at the cliffside, where it'd been late evening light that had kissed his face, now there was really nothing to distract him from it. The way his freckles dotted every part of his skin. He brushed a curl from Casper's face with a growing grin, then frowned and cocked his head as he noticed Casper's bare shoulders. He pulled the twisted comforter back a bit, only to put it back into place fast, and turn around faster, putting a hand over his mouth as his face started to burn. He furrowed his brows, then rubbed a hand over his face to his forehead. He huffed.

"Dios mío..." Ky muttered, getting up with a sigh. He walked to his window and pulled up the blinds, squinting as the light filtered into the room. He walked over to his dresser and changing out of his sweatpants into grey dress pants. Knowing he didn't have any clean shirts to go under his usual button-ups, he settled for wearing one without it, going to his wall closet and filing through them and pursing his lips in thought.

Kyran was still a fashionista like Chi, matching whenever the two went out, but today he knew he wouldn't see her. She was probably already out with clients now. Besides, he had to work the store today, someone had called in with the flu, so he was giving them two weeks off minimum, and if they still didn't feel well, they'd get another week. And he had to take Casper to CJ's place like he'd asked, then take Casper back to Hana's to pick up his car. It was going to be a busy day.

At the loss of body heat Casper immediately huffed, furrowing his brows in his sleep. He wasnt a morning person, work didnt require him to get up early. At the sound of Kyran getting up and dressed he opened sleepy green eyes. He pulled more blankets over him to replace the heat her had lost, making himself a blanket cacoon around him and only a head full of messy curly hair stood out at the top."Whyre you up so early." his voice was much deeper then his normal high pitched one, accent slurred. he didnt watch Kyran get dressed of course, thatd be weird, so instead he looked away to the window, eyes squinting at the light that was now coming in. The sky was still a pastel blue color and the sun wasn't fully out yet. But he did catch a glimpse of something on his back. His was a tattoo obviously, he could tell by the bold blank ink that had small letters of a phrase on it. Without his glasses he couldnt see it clearly before he turned away. Once he was sure Kyran was fully dressed he turned back around. "What does your tattoo mean?" most tattoos had some deep meaning when he would ask people, and he was expecting the same with Kyran.

Kyran hummed with a smile when he heard the tired voice, "Busy day today, cariño," He said simply, picking out a dark shirt and pulling it off of the hanger. He pulled the shirts back and flipped through his ties, making a face at each one he found inadequate. He finally settled on one the same colour as his pants, shutting the wardrobe doors and moving back to his dresser, inspecting himself in the big mirror. He glanced at Casper behind him, staring out the window, catching him glance at the tattoo on his back. He chuckled lightly, sometimes he forgot he even had it. Sometimes, he really wishes he hadn't gotten it.

Slipping the shirt over his shoulders and starting to roll up his sleeves, "The moon phases. It says 'A la luna ya la espalda, abuela," He said sighing, making sure his sleeves were even before starting to button up the front.

Casper was nosy and curious. He couldnt simply ask the guy to take off his shirt so he could see it, thatd be weird. Instead he shifted out of the blankets and stretching, arching his back as he sat up and let the cool air flush against his bare skin. Kyran seemed a bit distracted with paying more attention to his sleeves then answering Caspers curiosity further, so hed do it himself. "I wanna see," he mumbled quietly, he doubted Ky could hear him. Slipping on his golden glasses he made he way behind Kyran and lifted up the back of his shirt. Like said before, he was to tired to really care at the moment. He gazed at the tan skin with curious olive eyes, his fingers tracing along the letters of the writing, the circles of the moons and their shading. He inspected every detail up close, not being afraid to bring his face closer aswel. He didnt really say anything though, simply examining him, gently tracing his fingers on his skin so carefully as if hed break if he pressed to hard. Touching him like a prized possession.

Kyran flinched at the sudden action, trying to move away but ending up slamming his knee into the dresser. He winced and hissed, leaning against the dresser, but let out a laugh, "You scared me," He said simply, undoing the few buttons he'd managed to put together and letting the shirt fall down, not fully off, but enough to expose the full tattoo.

It started with the new moon, up by the nape of his neck, then the waxing crescent and half moon between his shoulder blades, going onto the waxing gibbous just below that, the full moon in the middle of his back, the waning gibbous, third quarter, and waning crescent, ending with another new moon. Just below that in a beautiful plain script read the message Kyran had heard so many times. A la luna ya la espalda, abuela.

The tattoo was sort of countering why he'd gotten it. His abuela hated tattoos or any sort of body modification of the sort, not even plain ear piercings. When he'd gotten a ton of them, she'd been angry, but forgave him as he grew out of them. When she passed, he wanted to remember her. A friend had suggested a tattoo, it was a pretty thoughtful thing, a permanent piece of art that you'd never forget. And the way they'd put it, Kyran agreed to it, only realising she would probably have hated it if she'd been there to see it. There was a reason he never really talked about it, and when asked to model in a way people would see it, he'd have the makeup artists cover it up with makeup. Don't get him wrong, he liked having something like a tattoo for his grandmother, but he just felt guilty that he'd gotten it despite her wishes.

Letting the shirt fall a bit he could see it more clearly. And all he could say was that he was in awe. Not like before where he had seen something for the first time. But more of a awe that made his eyes keep staring over it. He had easier access to running his fingers along him, letting his fingers trace every moon from the nape of his neck to the writing written at the bottom. His skin was soft, and while any other person would have called him weird for touching them he was a bit shocked Kyran let him touch him. He sucked at Spanish but he knew a few words, and he knew the word grandmother. Possibly that was the woman he saw in the Polaroid photographs? Obviously she meant a lot to him and it made Casper melt that he was allowed to see that by the permanent ink laced across a canvas he called Kyrans back. He didnt know what to say, but he knew he didnt want to ask him to many questions. He didnt want to touch a sensitive subject or anything. Instead he hummed an unidentifiable tune was grazing the pads of his fingers over Kyrans back repetitively. "Its a beautiful tattoo Kyran."

The guy nearly shuddered as Casper ran his fingers along his back. It felt nice, though, just to have him trace the ink laced through his back. When he felt the hand give enough space for him to pull his shirt back up, he did it quickly, buttoning it up quicker. As much as he liked and trusted Casper already, he rarely even showed Chi the tattoo, and he called her his little sister. He hummed, giving somewhat of a sarcastic laugh. It sounded solid than a nervous one and colder than a genuine one.

"Gracias, though I do know someone who would disagree with you," He muttered the last part as if he didn't really want to add it on and it had been sort of an afterthought. He sighed, flipping his collar up to wrap the tie around his neck, hands moving to tie it in a way that showed he'd done the knot many times. It was a fairly complicated knot, but it was obvious it was something casual for Kyran.

He gave a small frown at him, though he probably couldnt see it as he was facing away from him. Whatever the tattoo meant to him he was sensitive about it, seeing as he quickly pulled up his shirt as if he would stare to long. And that laugh wasnt the one he remembered last time he heard it. It was more sarcastic;blunt. Not genuine. "They may have their reasoning but its all about how you feel about it," he placed a hand on his shoulder,"aslong as it makes you truly happy then thats all that matters." he didnt know what context he was speaking to him to but it was the most comfort he could give. he wouldnt asking questions or pick at him for answers, instead just left it be. He took away his hand and ran it through his messy bed head. "Im going to go get dressed." he said softly. He made his way towards his phone and unplugged it and headed towards the bathroom.

Kyran waited until Casper left the room, finally letting himself breathe and letting out a shuddery sigh, leaning onto the dresser as if he couldn't stand on his own. He didn't mean to make Casper uncomfortable if he had, or make him think he'd upset him, but he'd really regretted that tattoo. Weeks after he got it, he woke up every morning and said apologised when he felt the sting of it, and he apologised every night when he saw it in the mirror after his showers. He'd completely forgotten about it, because if he'd remembered he wouldn't have let Casper see it. But he shook his head and took a shaky breath, mumbling an apology under his breath before swallowing thickly. He took a few shaky breaths until they started to even out, taking a really deep one before standing up straight and finishing the Eldredge knot he'd begun, cutting it close to his throat. He folded his collar down, taking a tie clip from a dresser drawer and clipping the tie to his shirt.

He looked himself in the mirror, pressing his shirt flat and brushing a few stray hair clumps into place, making himself look presentable before pulling on socks and black dress shoes. When he was finished, he left to the kitchen, taking out a half empty container of eggs and unopened package of bacon. As long as Casper was staying here, he'd treat him well and with respect, because he was his guest, and if that meant cooking for once in several months, then he'd do it.

He walked into the bathroom and shut the door behind him quickly, flipping the light on and looking in the mirror. Fully awake now and all he could feel was pure anxiety. Had it been wrong to point out his tattoo? To touch it? to even mention it in the first place? Casper was a ride n die when it came to emotions; if you cried, hed cry, if you were scared, hed be scared and so on. He could also pick up on social cues such as that. The way he pulled his shirt up as if to hide something so beautiful to Casper. He regretted bringing it up. Sighing he took off his glasses and looked in the mirror again. All he could see was a blurred outline of himself. He looked and could see a distorted shelf in his vision, hands feeling around for his pile of clothes. Eventually he found them, slipping the too large sweat pants off reluctantly and slipping back into jeans and turtle neck. he slipped his glasses back on and put on his socks and his boots. They werent girl boots, a rich leather that were a high top style. Standing back up he looked in the mirror. Hed lost his hair tye on the bed he guessed. Rummaging around in his pocket he found a spare and pulled his hair back. The ponytail part was more like a ball of fluff seeing how thick his hair was bur he didnt care. hesitantly walking out of the bathroom he made his way to the kitchen, sitting at his same stool. He looked down though, playing with the edges of his sweater sleeves.

When Casper came in, Kyran didn't look at him, didn't say anything. At least not for a while. He was silent at the stove, the plates already out with half of the four eggs he decided to cook. He felt guilty, he could feel the difference in Casper's attitude. He knew he'd been a little too obviously touchy about the tattoo, he hadn't meant to be so standoffish about it, he just really didn't like the thing. He was ashamed of it.

He slid the rest of the eggs onto a serving plate, and soon enough the bacon came out too, and he set both plates on the kitchen island without looking at Casper, let alone say anything. He brought the pans and spatula to the sink, not rinsing it and sticking it in the dishwasher. Instead, he stood there, turning on the hot water and starting to clean the dishes. It was silent for a long time, so quiet it felt deafening. Kyran finally cleared his throat.

"Apologies if I was rude about my tattoo. I do not let many see it, even coming to photographers and Chichima herself, you know. It was not your fault." He sighed, finishing cleaning one pan and moving onto the next, "Really, do not blame yourself. Really, I thank you for complimenting it." And he didn't say much more, just continuing to clean the used pans.

It was quiet. But not like the quiet that was peaceful before them the last time they sat here. He could practically feel the tension in the air and it only made him want to curl in a ball and apologize over and over. To a person like himself he would feel ten times as much as another person would feel in a situation. and all he could feel was guilt. He didnt even feel hungry anymore, be he knew he should eat. Both for not wanting to be rude and he knew hed be hungry once he felt better anyway so he would just eat now. "I-its fine," he mumbled quietly. It was like he had taken a step back now, stuttering again,"Im sorry if I made you uncomfortable. I s-shouldn't have mentioned it." he never realized how much of an impact Kyrans presence was on him. He wasnt looking at him, didnt even glance up in his direction. Instead, turning away from him and washing dishes when he knew damn well that the dish washer was empty. hed wait for Kyran to be done to eat, instead leaning forward and resting his chin on folded arms of the counter and staring at the plate of food.

It was only when he'd finished washing the pan that Ky finally gave Casper a side-eye. The guy wasn't even eating. He sighed, drying off his hands and going to sit in front of Casper with a huff. He didn't say anything right away, but for the first time since they'd been in the kitchen together, Kyran looked at him, copper eyes sympathetic and sweet. Understanding. He placed a gentle but firm hand on Casper's shoulder.

He took a breath, "Amigo, do not feel guilt. Do not blame yourself for how I feel. It is not your fault, and you do not need to worry. You are my friend, and even if you cannot bring yourself not to blame yourself, then I forgive you. Okay?"

He sat up from his position,"Worrying is my thing, its hard to undo." despite the words he said he gave a small reassuring smile. Hed admit it though he was a worrier. prone to stress over the littlest things but the reassurance calmed he down a lot more. "But, thank you." He couldnt just not believe Kyran and his words. For all of before this point to Casper he was a mate to be trusted. So despite his nervousness he let is wash away and leaned forward to grab a fork.

A smile spread across Ky's face, his genuine one that gave him crow's feet at the edges of his eyes and showed all of his teeth. It wasn't his fake, award winning smile, or his sympathy smile. A genuinely happy smile. He didn't know what triggered it, but Casper feeling better made him feel better. He patted him on the shoulder, grabbing his own fork and taking his own serving of the breakfast he cooked.

"Good! Does this mean I'm still taking you to CJ's?" He asked, cocking his head to the side, his playful attitude now back after knowing Casper wasn't upset or worrying over him.

His smile only grew bigger at seeing his. Taking his share of food he dug his fork into it and took a bite. He nodded,"My cars still at Hanas shop so youll get to take me there too." Speaking of Carmen he pulled out his phone checking it for a second. There was one message,'Just got off work, coming over soon?' Sometimes it took him a moment to remind himself Carmen was basically nocturnal when it came to her job, it being around 8am by now and her just getting off of a 12 hour shift. He typed quickly on the keyboard that he'd be on his way soon and put his phone away."She doesnt live to far from here, about 10 minutes or so by the Villas." the Villas were a more urban part of town. Not pearly white and landscaped like these apartments but had more neighborhoods, kids playing in the street and grafeti on the walls of the buildings. It wasnt a dangerous part of town, but a but different from what Kyran and Chi lived in every day.

Kyran nodded, eating his breakfast fast out of habit. He was familiar with the Villas, he'd used to live there when he was younger. He hadn't been there in a while, he'd started getting so busy with his work he stopped visiting. If he was lucky, no one would recognise him. Don't get him wrong, Kyran loved old friends, and wasn't embarrassed or ashamed to say he used to live from the Villas, but he didn't want to explain to old friends why he didn't visit. He'd feel guilty.

After a while of silence, Ky spoke, "So, how did you sleep? Not the weirdest request I've gotten, by the way."

His thoughts went back to how he felt this morning. He could remember feeling really nice and warm with Kyran pressed at his side. he took a few more bites of his food,"I slept good," good was an understatement. Casper had been having troubles to sleep for a few weeks now and all of a sudden he sleeps through the night fine. He gave a yawn,"Not much of a morning person but this breakfast makes up for it." he finished the last bits of his food noticing Ky was already done with his plate, and stakced his plate ontop of the others. "How did you sleep?"

Ky took the dishes to the sink, rinsing them quickly and placing them in the dish washer, along with the pans, "Muy bien, amigo, very good," He replied, drying his hands and going to the living room to turn on his phone he'd left there. Fuego lay on the couch in the space that'd been meant for Kyran. He smiled, ruffling her fur and moving to the hall closet to look for her collar and leash.

"I hope you do not mind if we take Fuego along, I have to let her out," He said, taking out the red collar and leather leash, snapping his fingers and saying something in Spanish to Fuego. Her head popped up and she got up enthusiastically, hurrying over to Kyran's feet and sitting down obediently. He chuckled, "Buena niña," He cooed, putting the collar around her neck and attaching the leather leash.

He turned his body on the stool to face the living room area that Kyran and his dog were in. "Cj has a cat named Ghost, Im sure they can get along." he smiled. He sure seemed to cherish his dog. Though he coudnt talk because he was the same way when it come to Cipher. He stood up and arched his back in a stretch. He was curious on why Carmen wanted to talk to him. He wasnt complaining-hed do anything that Carmen needed him to. It wasnt often that shed specifically request for it to be in person. Plus if gave Carmen and Kyran a chance to talk a bit too.

Ky hummed, "Fuego loves literally anyone that comes into her line of sight, don't you, niña?" He gave her a few more pets before standing up and getting his keys. He opened the closet next to the front door and rummaged through it before producing a light windbreaker and slipping it on over his shoulders. He picked up his wallet and stuck it in his pocket. He felt a buzz in his pocket and took out his phone, seeing he had a voice mail from Chi. She rarely left them, usually because Kyran picked up, or because it wasn't important enough to leave a voice mail. He put the phone against his ear, hearing the automated voice tell him he had one message and start to play it.

'Ky, we need to talk. Meet me on my lunch break tomorrow. Seriously.' And the phone clicked. Ky looked at it, brows knit together. What was she so worried about? She sounded so serious. He shook his head, then set a reminder to meet with her at 11 later, then turned his phone off, sticking it in his pocket. He looked at Casper.

"Shall we?" He opened the door.

He hopped off the chair nodding, passing by the living room and picking up his camera bag and following Kyran out the door. He didnt know whether to hold his hand or not. He held his hand on the way here so he could guide him to his apartment. Thats what he told himself. Not because he wanted to hold Kys hand. Or intertwine their fingers. No, that wasnt it. Overthinking he he decided not to out of pure nervousness and turned her attention to outside. Light was coming through as the sun continued to rise in the sky, pretty pinks and blues with not one single cloud in the sky. He hummed contently. He didnt get to see the sky like that. He never woke up enough to be able to see it and while walking often found his eyes kept wandering to it.

He shut the door, the lock clicking as he did, leading Fuego down the hall to the stairs, beckoning Casper to follow him, "Elevators make her nervous," He said before starting down the steps. As much as he hated taking the steps, he hated making Fuego upset more, so he would deal with the many, many flights of stairs as long as Fuego was okay.

Ky would never say it aloud, but he was somewhat disappointed that Casper hadn't taken his hand. He would have taken Casper's, but felt it would be an awkward motion. The two were basically married at this point, everything they'd done since they met had a certain domestic tang to it, not that Kyran was complaining.

Casper hummed in response, following Kyran down the stairs. It felt weird leaving his apartment. He didnt know why, maybe it was because he just spent the past 24 hours with a guy and he knew that he was going to be leaving him soon. he shugged it off, he didnt want to think about that. He didnt want to think about the long drive home he was going to have in an empty car, he didnt want to think about how his bed, who was the same size as Kyrans, was going to be empty. He didnt want to think about it so he kept walking. In the mindset of knowing he was going to leave him soon, Casper finally managed to muster up the courage to hold Kyrans hand and letting his fingers slip between Kys easily.

Kyran didn't even bat an eye when Casper grabbed his hand, just curled his fingers with Casper's and held firm. He was beginning to enjoy it. He felt a pang in his chest when he realised Casper would be leaving. The sort of pang you felt after a breakup. The sting of loneliness. He shook his head, he barely knew Casper, they were just getting to be friends, there was no reason for him to be upset Casper was leaving. Before he knew it, his feet it linoleum and they were heading out the door.

Now that he was taking Fuego out, he'd usually put her in a sidecar on his motorcycle, but that would be sort of an uncomfortable ride for Casper. He didn't use it much, but he had a car. A small van for a part of four, with a sort of iridescent paint that looked black, but when put in the right light gave it a reddish purple shine. He went out to the parking lot, going to a different remote in his keyring and unlocking it. It chirped, and he opened the back door for Fuego, who got in enthusiastically.

He looked behind him for a second as they walked out the door. He didnt feel as bad though. They were friends now, right? He looked down at their hands. Friends. Right. He figured theyd exchange numbers or something before they parted to stay intouch and all. Seeing the van a cocked up an eyebrow,"I like your mom van." he giggled. He wouldnt take Kyran as the van type. The dude had a badass motorcycle and all but he wasnt one to judge. He only let go of Kyrans hand (reluctantly) to get in the passenger side of the car.

Ky narrowed his eyes as he shut the back door and slipped into the driver's seat, "It's not a 'mom van." He retorted, with a playful glare, his annoyed face melting into another genuine smile as he shut the door and pulled down the buckle, turning the key in the ignition and trying to remember exactly how a car worked, it sure as hell wasn't like a motorcycle. Of course, Kyran knew how to drive a car, it had only been a while. He usually took his motorcycle everywhere, it was always faster, and he was the 'Live Fast, Live Free' kind of guy. Cars didn't suit him. He turned and carefully pulled out of the parking lot and headed toward the Villas for Carmen's place.

"You have a van and a car, youre half way there mate." he buckled himself in and gazed out the window. Casper was used to this more compared to Kyrans motorcycle though he couldnt complain as the rides were enjoyable. Looking out the window he stared at the sky once more. It was still early morning, not to bright in the sky and it was cool in the air. His phone buzzed, pulling it out of his bag he scrolled and found Carmens name. 'hey dude, on your way?' this talk mustve been important if she was persistent on him coming over still, 'Yeah, Kyrans driving me there. Mind if he joins us?' Casper didnt think the sentence sounded weird until the little grey bubbles of Carmen typing lasted a long while. Oh right. That would indicate that he spent the night with Kyran, and wasnt even driving his own car. The bubbles simply stopped and he read the screen, 'yeah youre boyfriend can join us' Caspers breath hitched as he choked on his spit once more, coughing for a long moment. He didnt answer back and setting his phone on his lap. he felt the buzzing of someone calling, picking it up he realized it was Carmen. Pft. he knew if he picked up it would most likely be a game of 20 questions about him and Kyran and he wasnt in the mood, seeing as he nearly just died choking.

Kyran gave him a concerned side-glance, "You okay?" He asked, turning off into the part of town that turned from high rise glamour to a quieter, cheaper neighbourhood. If you asked Ky, he enjoyed it here more than his new place, but it was easier to make money there. He sort of missed the Villas. It was always quiet, and there were always friends to make. He was a charmer when he was younger, he made friends with literally anyone. Even the kids who tried to pick on him. He supposed that attribute stuck.

"So, where does Señora Carmen live?" He asked, slowing down and stopping on a side of the road. Although the road was quiet, he still didn't want anyone to be annoyed by him parking in the middle of the road for a moment.

Well. he did enjoy holding his hand. and sleeping in the same bed. and how close his face was on the cliff. oh and he also liked how his breath felt across his lips. yeah. he didnt like him like that. totally. just in a friend way. right.

With a hum and a nod, Kyran started driving again, taking a turn to the right and seeing a scarily familiar apartment building. Right. His cousins lived there. And if he knew his cousins, they were probably still there. He only hoped they wouldn't see him and bother him. As much as he loved his family, they could be a bit much. And they also assumed every guy that didn't keep a foot of distance between him and themselves was his boyfriend, and if they say him holding hands with one of the cute ones... let's just say he'd never hear the end of it. He slowed to a stop, opening the door and sliding out of the car, squinting up at the small apartment building. Yep, scarily familiar. He was practically a kid again.

Casper got out of the car and looked up at the building. It wasnt as tall and big as Kyrans but he loved it anyway. Painted a light orange color with a few potted plants here and there. It didnt have an inside section like Kyrans place, having outdoor metal stairs that creaked when you walked up to another floor. A solid black cat sat outside in the middle of the side walk by the building, green eyes eyes boring into Casper as he basked in the early sun. Casper shut the car door and walked up to the familiar cat, petting him and picking him up. Pets were allowed to visit but you couldnt own one here but that didnt stop Carmen from sneaking Ghost in here. The cat rubbed against Caspers face purring, but stopped and climbed further up his shoulders once seeing the polar bear of a dog. This time Casper held his hand out to lead Kyran the way.

The neighbourhood was even familiar to Fuego, being her home when she was a puppy. She seemed glad to see it, letting out a few cheerful barks. Kyran smiled, giving her a few head rubs before following Casper into the old apartment building, left exactly as it had been, if not in better shape. Fuego stopped to sniff the cat at the door, who seemingly returned the sniffs in the same friendly manner before Ky tugged on her leash, snapping his fingers and commanding something in Spanish, Fuego followed into the building obediently. It was much, much different than Kyran's, but so comfortably familiar. He only hoped Fuego wouldn't catch his cousin's attention.

Seeing the offered hand, he smiled and took it, letting Casper lead him on, although he was sure he still knew his way around the place.

Casper set Ghost down and smiled as Ky took his hand. He walked along the side of the apartment and passing many set of stairs. Once he found the correct one he stepped up on it, the metal creaking under every step. Ghost walked infront of Casper knowing where his home was. Once at the top there was a large clearing, the other side of it held another set of stairs and the floor was cement. The place didnt have clear walls to make it indoors, just gates to make sure no one fell of the edge. he looked around at Carmens door which looked a bit different then the others. While the others were either a light brown color or an off white, despite the landlords words she had painted it a maroon color. It stood out but it helped Casper notice hers out of all the identical looking sections of the place. Once reaching the door he didnt even have to get his keys out. he simply turned the door knob at it was open. She was always bad at locking her doors.

The apartment was a lot smaller then Kyrans but not cluttered. Having off white walls and some accent walls painted the same maroon color as the door. It wasnt colorful and playful like Chis, framed posters from comics or movies were neatly places around on the walls. The living room having a simple grey L shaped couch and a coffee table that doubled as a very small book shelf to hold her comics. It was fairly open, you could see the kitchen from the living room. It was smaller but its all that Carmen really needed, a breakfast bar that doubled as he eating area and a small pet bowls next to it that were half full. The only hall way there was that lead to her room, the bathroom and office. She didnt have many people over so there was no need to pay extra for a guest room. And if Casper came over they didnt really mind sharing a bed or one of them taking the couch. On a wall of the living room were large sliding doors that doubled as big windows lighting up the place entirely. And beside it was a huge cat tree which Ghost made himself comfy on the very top and gaze at Feugo curiously. Hearing the door open Carmen made her way out of her office where she had been working on paper work. "Lil bro, its nice to see you." she said sweetly, walking up to him and giving a small side huge and ruffling his neat pony tail. Then she eyed Kyran up and down,"I didnt think youd bring your boyfriend, and probably one of the cutest dogs I have ever seen in my life."

Casper set Ghost down and smiled as Ky took his hand. He walked along the side of the apartment and passing many set of stairs. Once he found the correct one he stepped up on it, the metal creaking under every step. Ghost walked infront of Casper knowing where his home was. Once at the top there was a large clearing, the other side of it held another set of stairs and the floor was cement. The place didnt have clear walls to make it indoors, just gates to make sure no one fell of the edge. he looked around at Carmens door which looked a bit different then the others. While the others were either a light brown color or an off white, despite the landlords words she had painted it a maroon color. It stood out but it helped Casper notice hers out of all the identical looking sections of the place. Once reaching the door he didnt even have to get his keys out. he simply turned the door knob at it was open. She was always bad at locking her doors.

Then she eyed Kyran up and down,"I didnt think youd bring your boyfriend, and probably one of the cutest dogs I have ever seen in my life."
Kyran was looking around the room with an appreciative smile. Really, it reminded him of when he lived here, which made him feel sort of old. He was barely hitting thirty. He let Feugo's leash dangle on his wrist with his hands in his pockets. She was very interested in the cat tree, and the cat that was currently nesting in it. She didn't bark though, just staring up at the cat tree until Carmen came in the room, who she excitedly hurried over to, looking up with eyes that basically demanded attention.

He was about to speak before Carmen spoke, and found his words caught in his throat. His face warmed, but not too noticeably, and he cleared his throat, letting out a nervous laugh in hopes that she really didn't think the two were dating already. He shot Casper a look that said 'did you seriously tell her you were my boyfriend?' but just let his eyes fall to his feet.

"I had to let Fuego out, heh, I can step outside if you don't want me in the room," He said, completely ignoring Carmen's comments.

Unlike Kyran you could tell Caspers cheeks were red. Seeing Kys glare he gave a soft shake of the head. No. of course he wouldnt tell Carmen they were dating, he just met the dude yesterday. He shifted out of the girls girl and gave a nervous smile. He leaned closer to Carmen ear only muttering a soft,"Im gonna kill you later." before pulling away. Carmen shrugged,"I dont care if youre in the room, nothing to really hide," she replied,"and you can let your dog loose if youd like, Ghost seems pretty interested in her." she chuckled taking a glance over to the cat. Soon enough Carmen lead them to the kitchen, Casper settling into a bar stool while Carmen stood up on the other side of it across from them both. She opened her mouth when Casper practically yelped,"Hold on f-for a second, I gotta go to the bathroom." he mumbled shyly and Carmen raised an eyebrow as he walked all to quickly down the hall. Now, it was just her and Kyran. She met the guy briefly at Hanas cafe when Chi introduced them, but she couldn't help but notice them hitting it off talking. She thought after she left the two would go their separate ways or something, and now the next day Casper was walking in hand in hand with this dude in his car? With a cute dog? Of course she was curious. "I see you and Casper hit it off yesterday," she stated. It wasnt at all aggressive or suspicious. She was just curious about the guy was all, protective of her lil bro.

Kyran nodded, leaning down and unclipping Fuego's leash, which then gave her the signal she could basically do whatever she wanted. Responsibly, of course. She just made a beeline to the couch, hopping onto it and making herself comfortable. Seeing as Carmen was pretty okay with it, Kyran didn't bother telling the poor pup to get off, just smiled and ran a hand over her fur as he followed the pair to the kitchen, moving aside as Casper quickly left soon after that and made his way down the hall. He gave a confused look, gaze lingering probably a bit too long. He just cleared his throat, sticking the leash into his pocket and leaning against the counter, arms folded over his chest. He rose a brow at Carmen's comment, before smiling and making a nonchalant retort of his own.

"You and Chi seemed pretty friendly last I saw you," He said with an innocent smile and a shrug.

Her smug and confident exterior crumbled a bit. "Friendly, thats what friends do." she brushed it off though she could hear her face heat up a bit. "Friends also walk hand in hand, fingers intertwined, right?" she kept her voice playful though, she wasnt in the mood for like. an actual fight or something. She saw the way they held eachothers hands. Well. Carmen held Chis the same way. but Kyran didnt know that. She wasnt trying to shame him or anything, infact she found it quiet cute. "I havent seen Casper that affectionate in awhile, not even I get to hold his hand like that." When Carmen first met Casper he was even more nervous and shy then he was today, written off as a pile of nervousness and useless to other kids in school. Carmen was just labeled at the punk lesbian, the two made friends quickly as the outcasts. She could remember his deal with relationships, most of then were one sided or he was heart broken or cheated on. Hence why he wasnt the affectionate reguarding physically. So when he walked in the door holding hands with a guy Carmen had labeled as a human air horn, she was both protective and curious. She wouldnt write him off as a bad guy, thatd be wrong, but it didnt hurt to get to know him a bit.

Kyran's confidence took a hit, but he kept the facade. It was second nature to him. He scoffed and rolled his eyes, "Yes, and all he was doing me was leading me to your apartment, there was nothing meant by it," He stated matter of factly, though there was this microscopic part of him that was sort of giddy. Like he felt special, But he ignored it, "And friends can hold hands without it being romantic, you are being imprudente." He looked away though, acting as if he was admiring Carmen's decorating style. Which he could, by the way, it was extremely reminiscent of his room when he lived with his abuela. But he wasn't, he was hiding the shy smile that broke out across his face at the thought of Casper having somewhat affectionate, if not romantic, thoughts about him. But he rolled a hand down his face and like that, the smile was gone. He sensed no hostility in Carmen's voice, so he gave none in return. She was most likely being protective over Casper, and Ky was the exact same way with Chi, so he would get himself some payback.

He cleared his throat, turning his gaze back to CJ, "And Chi is not so chatty with people she just meets, I will know that first hand. Also, that look when you speak to her? I am not unfamiliar."

She huffed but she kept the smile on her face, perching up her glasses up her nose a bit more. Though on the inside she was kinda freaking out. A look? Was Carmen that obvious with things that strangers could read her like a book? Did Chi notice the same thing? her heart started to beat faster at the thought. "Yes, looking. I have eyes, four of them infact." she joked, pulling down her glasses to look at Kyran beyond the lenses. She softened for a moment though,"He seems to really like you though, I can tell." she said sweetly with a small smile. Jokes aside,"He normally doesnt go home with a guy on the first night, or go with a guy at all." Casper was one to be nervous around new people. It often taking a few weeks or even months for him to open up to people. But watching them at the cafe talking she couldnt help but feel happy for Casper, whether it was romantic or not. "And you didnt exactly deny my Boyfriend comment. Im starting to think you dont really mind it." she chuckled. It seemed like it had done Casper a good number seeing as he was taking his time in the bathroom. They could probably both tell from knowing him that he left not simply to go to the bathroom. She leaned on the counter, still standing across from hom and let her head rest on a palm smiling. She could do this all day.

Scoffing he rolled his eyes, "What can I say? I am a natural. I usually put people at ease. Besides, he was tired, and he does live two hours away, no? I was not going to let him drive two hours while exhausted." He cleared his throat at the boyfriend comment, but kept his composure and shrugged, "Why would I defend myself on something that is not offensive?" And that was a bitter-sweet come back, he realised only after he finished speaking. Kyran was an honest guy, though, almost brutally when it came down to it, and even now, he wasn't going to lie that he wouldn't mind the title of being Casper's boyfriend. He was no liar. Not now, not ever, even little white lies he couldn't stand.

He gave her a look, as if sizing her up, approaching the table and sitting across from her almost too nonchalantly, flashing her a grin, "But what I say of Chichima is true, you know. I know she only met you recently, and she's already taken a liking towards you. I have never seen her speak with someone so easily, if at all."

"Well if I were to be honest," she paused for a moment,"Ive taken a liking to her to. Though if you tell anyone, I will have no choice but to kill you." she laughed at the last part. It made her feel special that Chi talked to her. It made her look at the table and smile for a moment at the thought. her mind wandered to the flower fields and the fireflies. The nice breeze and the stars. the sunset and the cool Autumn air. How nice her hands felt, how she still had the flower Chi gave her sat on her nightstand. Okay. yeah, maybe she liked her. A little bit. But she wouldnt act on it at all, she was pretty positive Chi was straight anyway. She looked up at Kyran curiously,"You guys seemed to be hitting it off at the cafe, Casper never shows his photography," she smirked,"whatd you guys do after we left? You know, the bonding that lead up to him basically clinging to you." in Carmens mind, she had now labeled Kyran as Caspers boyfriend, if not, to be boyfriend.

Kyran laughed with her, giving an understanding nod. Though he still wouldn't admit his feeling s for Casper, because if he did that, he'd be pining for someone he wouldn't even know would reciprocate his feelings or not. So, for now, at least, he would deny them. He folded his hands on the table, maybe he and Carmen weren't so different. When she asked about what they did, he thought about it. The small details. How Casper's arms had felt around his waist, how the setting sun had framed his face. The tree. How soft and perfect his hands felt on his own, how he'd focused more on Casper than the scenery. Casper's face on his for the pictures. How close they were. How warm it had felt, and how nice it had been there. Casper's nervous breath on his lip. He snapped out of his thoughts and cleared his throat nervously, pulling at his shirt collar as he felt suddenly too warm. His face was really burning now, there was no way Carmen could miss it. He swallowed thickly, giving an innocent, anxious laugh.

"I-I just took him to a spot he'd wanted to go to, a uhm, a-an old camping place of mine, I-I thought he would like pictures there," His voice had cracked in several places, and for the first time in what felt like decades, Kyran was stuttering. Actually, genuinely stammering and struggling to talk smoothly. He hadn't stuttered like that since middle school. He'd never sounded so nervous in his life.

Carmen could only raise an eyebrow, blue eyes boring into him. Something had happened obviously. But she wasnt one to be nosy, plus she didnt really want to know about her little bro doing anything with anyone. She wanted to keep that nice, innocent image of him in her head. no boyfriends. She gave a small chuckle at the thought. "You seemed to be pretty warm there, physically and emotionally." she snorted, but she wasnt making fun of him. It was honestly cute to see someone get flustered at the thought of Casper. "Sounds like a nice date, Im sure you guys had fun. Casper loves taking photos and all." It seemed like they were in the same boat yesterday then. While her and Chi were hand in hand looking over the scenery, so were Kyran and Casper. Casper seemed happy, and watching him talk with Kyran he seemed eager too. Though she looked at him sternly for a moment, not agressivly but enough to get her point across,"But as Caspers big sis I will make sure he doesnt go through another heart break," she paused looking at him still but this time softer,"so be good to him. You seem like a good guy. Hes a sensitive guy." He didnt know Kyran to well, but she trusted any friend of Chis. "And know that if something happens, remember I break into places for a living." it wasnt really a threat, more of a light tease as she said it with a small chuckle. But she couldnt stand for Casper to go through something bad romantically again. After his last relationship, which was unhealthy and toxic mind you, it had taken months for Carmen to even sit close to the guy. It broke her heart watching it, and she wouldnt let it happen again so of course she was going to be protective.

Kyran's face went dark for a moment. Seriously? He could understand being protective, but first, Casper was his own person. She had no place in trying to breathe down his neck like a mother. Second, Kyran would never do such a thing, ever. He had trust issues himself, and he would never treat someone the same way. But he didn't say anything, just gave a curt nod. To her, being silent for a long time before he decided to make a comment of his own.

He took a deep breath and stood, eyes boring into Carmen in a way he rarely used, "Well, Chi is my little sister. I leave her to be independent and make good choices because I know she will. But people make mistakes. And I do hope dearly she didn't make one with you." Kyran stood, turning to lean against the kitchen threshold again, looking at Carmen over her shoulder, "You are a sweet girl. But do not hurt Chi. She has enough heartbreak, leaving her family in Nigeria. She does not need to lose the trust of someone she trusts so much already."

Chi had so much to lose if she took interest in this girl. Kyran as her only friend, and her family, whom she'd been so close with before leaving,
was thousands of miles away. If she picked up this girl, and Carmen broke her heart, she would be back to the same, sad, insecure woman he'd met only a few years ago. It took years for her to come out of her shell, and if Carmen ruined that? There was no way Chi would be the same. He could tell from the way she talked, the way she even looked at CJ, that she had found someone she could love. He wouldn't get in the way of that or breathe down her neck about it, or even threaten Carmen first hand about it. But he was a powerful guy in this town. He could ruin Carmen if he truly, truly was set on it. But he wouldn't say that. Kyran was a nice guy, and was always nice.
But if you hurt his little sister there was a side of him you would not like coming for you. He trusted Carmen, he did, but that didn't make it so he wasn't wary. He sighed, looking back to the wall.

"I suppose we are both protective over our friends. Do not make Chi regret trusting you, please?"

I'll be there when Im free-" he hung up curtly on the phone and gave a nervous smile, lifting the tension Carmen had been feeling a bit. "Im sorry Carmen but my boss called and wants me there, apparently some of the testing animals got lose n I have to clean up the mess." he felt bad about leaving her, it seemed whatever she was going to talk about seemed important. She walked past Kyran and towards Casper and ruffling his soft hair with a smile,"Its alright Cas, I'll talk to you over the phone or something when youre free." she didnt really feel like talking anyway at this point. Mumbling a few goodbyes she pulled away,"You guys can let yourself out, I have some work to do." she gave one last hug to Casper and a nod of the head to Kyran before walking down the hall and to her office. Capser was oblivious to the situation obviously,"I feel bad for leaving her but I have work soon, and so do you." he heard talking between Ky and Cj through th bathroom walls but he wasnt really concerned about it. Apparently he had a lab to clean up on hsi day off.

Kyran nodded, hooking Fuego back on her leash and opening the door for Casper to follow him out. The moment he stepped into the hallway, he heard an annoyingly familiar voice, but he turned around the with a smile as a wispy young girl came barreling down the hall with open arms, giving Kyran no choice but to hug her back as she leaped onto him, giving her a big hug and swinging her around with a laugh. He put her down gently, shoving his hands in his pockets with a smile.

"Hermana Edi!" He laughed, giving her a kiss on the cheek. Fuego barked and the girl gave her a pet as she spoke to Kyran.

"Hermano Kyran, ha sido demasiado largo!" Edi said just as enthusiastically, returning the kiss on the tips of her toes, "Como has estado? ¿La fama te trata bien? ¿Es este tu novio?" She continued rapid fire, Kyran replying just as quick.

"¡Te extrañe! Lo estoy haciendo muy bien, nada demasiado serio en términos de fama, aunque," He made a face at her last question, then started to laugh again, "¿Crees que puedo enganchar a un novio? Estas loco?" He sighed, looking at the ground with a sheepish look before continuing, "No aún no. ¿Qué hay de tí? ¿Cómo está Fran?"

Well. He shouldve listened in Spanish class in Highschool. He couldnt understand everything, some small words but not much, simply watching the exciting interaction quietly. Obviously she knew him and looked fairly liked Kyran, perhaps a relative? Most likely. "Uh, hello." his voice was quieter then their loud ones. Though he gave a nervous cheeky smile, the type you give to a cashier at the grocery store when saying thank you or along those lines. He didnt speak spanish, well he did, but very very terrible spanish. Hopefully he didnt have to speak in fear of saying the wrong thing and making a fool of himself.

The conversation went on for a bit, rapid Spanish between the two of them before Kyran remembered he actually had a friend with him and that's who Edi was talking about, he turned around, putting his sister under his arm and a hand on his hip with a grin. The two could be twins if you didn't know any better, he spoke to Casper.

"Cas, this is my sister, Edi," Then he spoke to his sister, "Edi, este es Casper, un nuevo amigo mío, no habla español muy bien." He turned his attention back to Casper, "Ella no habla inglés, lo siento." Edi nodded in understanding, giving Casper a wave of a hello.

Speaking to his sister again, he explained he was in a rush and had to get Casper back to town to get his car, placing another kiss on her cheek, "Lo siento, pero fue muy bueno verte de nuevo." He turned to go down the hall, but his sister stopped him, tugging on his shirt sleeve.

"¡Sólo un momento! Hermano, por favor, necesito que alguien cuide de Fran la próxima semana, y no puedo encontrar a nadie. Cuidarás de ella, ¿de acuerdo? ¿Por favor, Kyran?" She said quickly with a pleading look on her face.

Kyran looked at her for a long time, brows knit together. A moment and he sighed, giving her a sympathetic smile and nodding, "Sí, hermana, por supuesto. Cualquier cosa por ti."

He understood...none of it. Mainly because they seemed fluent and spoke so fast. She seemed nice though, she smiled a lot and pretty affectionate towards Kyran. The two looked so alike. After they were done talking he gave the smallest tug on his jacket sleeve,"I dont mean to be nosy but I have n-no idea what you guys were just saying." he gave a breathy laugh. Perhaps he shouldve taken Spanish more seriously in school.

Kyran, now only just realising this, laughed embarrassedly as he waved his sister goodbye, "Edi was just asking me how I was and everything, you know. We haven't seen each other in a while. She just asked me to watch her daughter, my niece," He explained with a nod. He knew Casper couldn't entirely trust him on that, but he cocked his head in confusion, "I thought you knew Spanish?" He said, starting down the steps with Fuego in tow.

He shrugged as he walked down the stairs and on the way to the car,"I do, a little bit, and you guys were talking at the speed of light I couldn't translate." He hummed in response. God forbid hed try to speak spanish, hed probably say something offensive by accident.He wondered why Kyran didnt visit his family often seeing as he didnt live to far away. Maybe work had him busy. He still felt kinda bad for leaving Carmen and making Kyran drive all the way here, but he didnt seem to mind all that much.

"Ah, my apologies, amigo. My family and I, we see one another and get so caught up in it, we forget anyone else is there," He replied sheepishly, pushing the door open for Casper and unlocking the car with a chirp.

He opened the back door, Fuego getting in immediately without much fault. He shut it and swung around the other side. He didn't want to make Casper late, so he moved faster this time, hopping into the driver seat and turning over the engine.

He sat in the car again, buckling his seat belt as they started the drive away. He couldnt relate to the feeling of family seeing all of his were in Australia and rather..difficult to talk to so he turned his thoughts to Kyran,"Do you have other family that live around here?" this mustve been a special place, Fuego seemed excited even being here when they first arrived. He wouldnt even mind if Kyran took the long way to Hanas. Casper didnt care about his job for a moment instead enjoying the last bits he had to spend with Kyran.

Chuckling lightly, Ky nodded, making his way out of the Villas. As much as he avoided the place, he really loved it there, "I actually lived here for a while when I first immigrated here, so yes, quite a few. There's my sister, her niece and husband, my two brothers, they're twins, mi mami and padre, of course. A few aunts and uncles, and, as you can imagine, plenty of cousins, nieces, and nephews. They're pretty spread out, though, only my sister and her familia and my brothers in that apartment building," He explained, pulling out of his childhood home. Still, it was his home, watch any of his interviews, when they asked where he was from, he would gladly say from the Villas. He didn't not visit because he was ashamed, but he was so busy. He had wanted to start making more time for his family, so when Edi had asked him to watch Fran? How could he possibly decline?

"You have a big family," he couldnt help but smile as Kyran talked about them,"they all sound wonderful." His sister seemed nice, even if he couldnt understand a word she said correctly, he smile was welcoming. He couldnt imagine was family gathering mustve been like, rapid Spanish that made Caspers head spin at the thought. He was a but surprised to hear that he lived here during his childhood. Casper didnt live to far from the Villas when he was a kid. He was surprised they didnt atleast bump into eachother once or twice when younger.

Kyran sighed, "They are. My sister said you were too pretty to be my friend, by the way." Can't say I disagreed. He had wanted to tack on but decided against it. He pulled out of the Villas, feeling a pang in his chest as he saw it fade in his rearview mirror. It was a familiar sort of pang, he'd felt it when he first moved out of the Villas, and he felt it each time he left. But he shook off the feeling, he'd be back next week to pick up Fran, he'd have time to talk and visit with his family then. It was reassuring to think about that, really, the sting starting to fade.

The car was quiet, with Fuego resting quietly in the back and Kyran having nothing more to say. Pulling up to Hana's shop, just behind Casper's car, Kyran looked at him for just a moment. Casper really was too pretty to be with him. He shook his head, leaning onto the centre console and putting on a grin, again one of his genuine ones. He sort of over shot it because he could have sworn he wasn't going to be this close to Casper. He tried to play it cool, his face starting to burn. He dropped his voice, using a tone he wasn't sure he wasn't sure he had meant to use. He just kept going.

"I suppose this is the part where I give you my number?" He said, voice low and soft, the one he'd used back in the forest. He wasn't as close as he had been that time, but still, their noses were barely a centimetre apart, and he could feel his breath hitting Casper's lip. And suddenly, the world was gone. It was just him and Casper. Another opportunity. Did he want to go through with it? Of course, he did, but he was anxious, and he hesitated. Fuego barked from the back seat, making him jump and back away, reluctantly, the same way it had been when Chi texted him yesterday. Right. He had to meet her on his lunch break today. And he would, he was curious as to what she wanted to talk about. He cleared his throat.

Casper gave a cheesy smile at hearing his sister thought he was pretty. Pretty?He didnt receive compliments often but he had never been called pretty before. The drive was silent until he saw Hanas chop again, and his navy blue car still in the same place hed left it. He turned. Kyran was..really close. Not as close as the cliffside but still very, very close. "I.." his unfinished sentence seem to float in the air as he focused his attention on the boy infront of him. He was the pretty one. Pretty golden skin he got to touch earlier, he swore he could still feel it on the pads of his finger tips. Pretty copper eyes staring at his. He could stare at them all day. But his gaze faltered, glancing up from Kyrans lips and back to his eyes; silently concluding what he wanted. Was Kyran going to kiss him? Like he almost did at the cliffside? He could feel his eyes start to close when-
bark.
The widened and he jumped a bit, nervously scratching his neck and avoiding Kyrans gaze as he pulled away. He nodded at his statment, "Y-yeah.." what was the proper conversation you were suppose to have with a guy who you almost kissed twice. Whatever it was, Casper would have to read it. He pulled out his phone, opening it and clicking to the page where you can fill out a new contact and sliding it on the center console to Kyran.

[yeah, but u love me <3]

If you looked close, you could see Kyran's hands tremble, just a bit, as he picked up the phone and quickly typed in his number, having to back and fix it several times. Again. He'd done it again. He'd gotten close, so close, to Casper. He wanted to kiss him, and he had full intent on doing so. But he'd hesitated. Just like the time before, he'd hesitated and let the opportunity pass him by. Just like that. He could have ignored Fuego's bark and went for it, but instead, he'd backed away. He'd freaked out and backed away. He slid Casper's phone back to him on the centre console. He was ready to get out of the car and let Hana take care of Fuego like he always did, but even in the awkward air of the moment, he wanted to stay, just a little bit longer. His hand was on the car door handle for a long time. He started to pull but stopped himself. He turned to Casper and opened his mouth, hoping he sounded more cool and confident than he felt.

"It was nice. Spending yesterday with you, I mean. I hoped you enjoyed it, too." And without skipping a beat he turned around again and got out of the car, pulling Fuego out of the back and trying not to look at Casper because he knew if he did he would be able to see how much darker, and how much redder his cheeks would be. With his head down, it was harder to see that.

"I enjoyed it alot-" he was cut off with Kyran getting out of the car. He followed along with him opening the car door reluctantly, he sighed. He looked at Hanas shop, his car sitting there. he didnt want to go into it and drive away to work like usual, not after such a great night. His hair was down and messy again, he ran a hand through it. He thought over the day yesterday. He wasnt expecting to befriend Kyran, mainly there because Carmen asked him to be there. But he was glad he came. He spent a wonderful day at the cliff side, the place was breath taking. Kyran was breath taking. Like a breath of fresh air honestly compared to their busy lives. It felt nice to have Kyran so close. So close he could kiss him. It ran through his head that he couldve kissed him. Wow. He went through his pockets for a moment, taking out the polaroid photo he had taken. It was simple and didnt have one dent in it, the ink colorful on the print. It was the polaroid picture of his and Kyrans hands intertwined. he could remember that moment too, how nice his hands felt in his. How they fix like puzzle pieces against his own. Taking out a sharpie he scribbled something on the header at the bottom, walking over to Kyran and handing him the photo smiling. "I was you to have it for your polaroid wall," his cheeks were red but he didnt care. He took another glance at his car,"I had a good time with you, I'll be sure to call you so we can hang out more." The polaroid had been labeled 'Cassy' with a small scribbled heart next to his name. "Speak soon, Kyran." he gave one last smile and let his fingers graze on his hand for a little longer when handing him the photo and pulled away, turning to his car and getting inside. He closed his eyes and leaned against his steering wheel. He wanted to scream, not in a bad way, more like 'oh my god I just did that' kind of way. It felt good, he felt giddy. he felt a pang of sadness leaving Kyran, but he looked down towards his phone and saw Kys phone number. He edited the contact, labeling his name as Ky. It seemed off, but he didnt mind. He set his photo for him the picture he took on his camera, the one where their cheeks were smushed close together. Casper could still see the red in his cheeks from after they almost kissed. he set that same photo as his lock screen. He put his phone away and started his car, backing out of the parking lot and started to head for the road. hed have to call him sometime.

He could barely breathe, "Yeah..." Was all he said, voice soft and sort of lost. Ky held the Polaroid between his index finger and his thumb, staring sort of dumbfoundedly at the back of Casper's head as he climbed into his car and sped off, still staring off after his car when it was long gone. He looked down at the photo in his hands, turning it right side up and looking at it with a sort of longing. This is what Casper had been putting in his pocket when Kyran was looking at his own pictures. He couldn't hide the shy, giddy grin that broke out across his face. Casper really was a charmer. He read the messy, yet legible and cursive handwriting and his cheeks began to burn. He chewed the inside of his lip to make himself stop smiling, clearing his throat and running a hand over his face so it sat monotone again. That didn't make the swelling in his chest fade at all, not even a little. He wanted to scream, but not in a bad way. Sort of in a victorious, triumphant way. He wanted to throw his fist in the air and jump around like a happy little kid. But he didn't. He just bit his lip and started smiling again, sticking the photo carefully in his shirt pocket and locking his car, turning on his heel to enter Hana's shop.

He handed over Fuego, picking up his usual drink and going back to his car. He started it but didn't go anywhere. He was staring at the picture. The charming, gritty quality to it, how genuine it felt. He had his own Polaroid camera at home, and holding such a pretty and well-taken photo again made him want to pick it up once more. Ky tucked the photo into his shirt pocket, staring at his phone that rested in a cup holder. He couldn't wait for that first text.

He could barely breathe, "Yeah..." Was all he said, voice soft and sort of lost. Ky held the Polaroid between his index finger and his thumb, staring sort of dumbfoundedly at the back of Casper's head as he climbed into his car and sped off, still staring off after his car when it was long gone. He looked down at the photo in his hands, turning it right side up and looking at it with a sort of longing. This is what Casper had been putting in his pocket when Kyran was looking at his own pictures. He couldn't hide the shy, giddy grin that broke out across his face. Casper really was a charmer. He read the messy, yet legible and cursive handwriting and his cheeks began to burn. He chewed the inside of his lip to make himself stop smiling, clearing his throat and running a hand over his face so it sat monotone again. That didn't make the swelling in his chest fade at all, not even a little. He wanted to scream, but not in a bad way. Sort of in a victorious, triumphant way. He wanted to throw his fist in the air and jump around like a happy little kid. But he didn't. He just bit his lip and started smiling again, sticking the photo carefully in his shirt pocket and locking his car, turning on his heel to enter Hana's shop.

It was maybe a week after he had saw Kyran last. Casper had just gotten out of work, yawning and putting his bag on the kitchen table. Making his way over to his couch he sighed. He didnt even feel like getting out of his lab coat. His phone sat on the coffee table and he stared at it. He hadnt seen Kyran in awhile, well only just a week, but to him that was awhile. And frankly he missed the Spanish man more then hed like to admit. He picked the phone up and opened it to Kyrans contact for a moment and stared at through through his lenses. What if Kyran was busy? He was suppose to be watching fran or something. Would it be weird to call first? Maybe just a text? But what if he didnt get a notification for the message, and a call wouldve been better, what if-. He sighed. He was over thinking for no reason. Kyran was his friend and he shouldnt be nervous. He was an easy guy to talk to anyway and Casper did promise that hed call to make plans. Finally he hit the little icon that represented a phone to dial him, he could hear the small hum of the dialing. He didnt know why he was nervous about even calling him, he swore he could feel his heart beat a little faster.

Fran was buckled into the back seat of his car in her trusty car seat, waving out the back window to her mother. Kyran had just picked her up and caught up with his family for the first time in a while. He was happy to do this for them. He'd freed up his schedule just for them, Fran was to stay with him for a few days and Edi would come and pick her up after her trip with her husband to another state. She didn't trust anyone else, and anyone she did trust was fairly busy. It was so much easier with abuela alive. But the two didn't think about that. He turned on the radio, some soft children's music for Fran to listen to on the ride to the high rise. Hopefully, she'd fall asleep and not ask too many questions, as 3-year-olds often do. Not that he hated that, no, he loved kids, he was amazing with them, but someone can only deal with so many questions at once.

He was turning into the merge between the expensive part of town and the Villas when his phone buzzed. He kept driving, patting at his pockets for a moment before pulling it out. He looked at the number and frowned, it was unknown. He got plenty of these, but he was always sceptical with each one. After a few rings, he answered, "Kyran Gonzalez's cell, Ky speaking," He said in his smooth Hispanic accent, putting his hand under the wheel to drive steady.

He waited for a moment for the phone to ring, fingers picking at the buttons on his white lab coat. He was calming down a bit now, easing but his nervousness only spiked when he heard that familiar Hispanic accent of his. It was only now that he realized how much he missed it,"H-hey Kyran, its Casper," his voice was nervous but eager,"I was wondering if I can come over? I just got off work." he knew Kyran was a pretty busy guy. He ran multiple business and had family to keep up with. But hopefully he wasnt to busy or anything at the moment.

"Oh!" He glanced back at his niece, who was happily humming along to the music he was playing and staring out the window, "Nice to talk with you again. Uh, I-I'm not sure? I mean, I definitely wouldn't mind it, I would love to see you again and hang out. It's just, you know, I'm sort taking care of my niece today," He explained, pulling up to Hana's shop and turning off the car, unbuckling and getting out.

He slammed the car door and opened Fran's, pinning the phone between his shoulder and his cheek as he grinned and began to unbuckle her, "Hi sweetie-- I'm sure it wouldn't matter to her, she loves new faces. It's only if you want to watch me try to control a 3-year-old for a couple days?" He picked her up out of the car seat, balancing her on one arm, cooing some words in Spanish to her before closing the door and putting his phone in his hand again, "It's up to you, cariño. We're at Hana's shop right now, Fran wanted ice cream, but we'll be back at my apartment afterwards. Meet you there, maybe?" He says, stepping into the cool coffee shop. Hana smiled at him, but probably only because he had Fran with him.

Casper often got nervous around kids being the nervous wreck he is, but he thought it would be fun. He could learn a thing or two on the care free attitude of children. He gave a small chuckle,"I dont mind watching you babysit, I think itll be cute." afterall, how bad could babysitting be? He didnt have many little kids in his family, next to none, so he didnt really get to experience them often. "I'll just tidy up and go, see you at the highrise. Bye muñeca." While his Spanish was horrible he knew few words here and there. He hung up the phone after hearing a returned goodbye and set it on the wooden table. Standing up he stretched, taking off his lab coat and putting it up in the hall closet with his many other. Hed get to see Kyran today. The thought put a little pep in his step, going in his room to change out of his work clothes. He slipped on a short sleeve tee shirt. It was a size to big for him and baggy but thats how Casper liked his clothes, the tee shirt having some tribal patterns on it. Going simple he stuck with a pair of jeans and zipped up his leather boots. Going into the bathroom and looking at himself. His hair was fluffed out and untamable like usual. he slipped off his glasses and popped some eye contacts in. He didnt want to risk losing them with a kid around. He could see a lot better and you could see his eye color a lot more clearer. Satisfied,Casper grabbed his bag and went out the door eagerly.

He went up to the counter, saying goodbye to Casper. Only after realising what he'd said did he try and ask if that's really what he said, but the call was already ended. Rolling his eyes, Kyran asked Fran what kind of ice cream she wanted, grabbing his own order of coffee. He wandered around the small room, murmuring cute things to his niece who giggled and bounced happily in his arms. He even put her down to run around a little bit. Hana tapped his shoulder.

"A real cutie, she yours?" She asked, watching with a warm smile as the little girl wandered around her shop.

Kyran snorted and shook his head, "I'm sure you wish Hana. Hah, no, she is my niece, Edi's kid."

"Ah," Hana nodded, "You're good with her, probably the quietest I've ever seen you."

"Yeah, lucky for you." He laughed.

Hana was a close friend of his, even if she did hate how loud he was. Really, it was like old college friends, he was here when she'd first opened the store, after all. He'd helped her pick out the place for the store, even. They were really great friends, even if they picked on each other.

Soon enough, the orders were out and Kyran put Fran back in his arms,
letting her hold the strawberry ice cream she'd ordered while he carried her and his coffee back out to the car. He asked her if she wanted to sit in the car and finish it before they left, but she shook her head no, to which he replied, "Si lo derramas, vas a ir a tu abuela!" Which roughly translates to,
"If you spill that, you're going to spend the weekend with grandma!" And she nodded, holding her ice cream steady. He buckled her in and shut the door, sliding into the driver's seat himself and putting his drink in the cup holder, turning over the ignition and startinf off to the high rise.

Casper got in his car and pulled out of his drive way. He didnt own an apartment but a house. Hed always tease Carmen about how responsible he was. Making his way down the rode, humming along to the soft tunes of the radio. With his driving skills he'd probably get to Kyrans in half of the time it would normally take him. He thought briefly about the last time him and Kyran had seen eachother, leaning an elbow against his window and resting his chin on his palm he kept the other hand steady on the wheel. The moments were good, Casper smiled at the thought of being able to create more memories with him. He had his polaroid in the back seat in it bag just incase.

Kyran pulled into the parking lot of his apartment building. He didn't expect Casper to be there just yet, seeing as he did live a while away, though the way he drives, he'd probably be here in half that time. He unbuckled his niece, carrying her on an arm as he walked and locked the car with a chirp. He bounced the little girl on his arm, making her giggle, but she was careful not to get any of the fluorescent pink ice cream on Kyran's dress jacket, which he appreciated. He waved to the person at the front desk, stepping into the elevator and pressing his floor number. Fran whined about being held so he sighed and said he would only put her down if he could hold her hand, and she nodded to seal the deal, so he put her down gently and held her tiny hand, the other one holding the strawberry ice cream.

Getting off the elevator, he lead the girl down the hall to his apartment. The moment he opened the door, he directed her to the kitchen because he was not about to risk bright pink ice cream on light coloured carpet. Not in a million years. Fuego was out on the balcony. He'd put her there because he knew Fran would want to put her sticky little hands all over her, and as much as he loved the little girl, he was not going to try and get pink stains out of her fur. Again.

The drive went smoothly, not that much traffic and a pretty view. He passed by the large hospitals and offices he worked at. Large tall building looming over him and he passed and went into the rich paved district that Kyran lived in. Casper lived in the city will with tall buildings and constant busy people that were often rude, while Ky lived in a more classy busy place that was rich with young culture. He liked that. He passed through the Villas making a mental note he still needed to call Carmen about her issue. He really did care about her. And soon enough he was at the High-rise complex. The familiar shiny tall building Casper still looked in awe at. He looked over and saw Kys mom van, he giggled at the thought. Getting out of his car he grabbed his small camera bag and slings it over his shoulder, walking in and giving a smile to the lady at the front desk and entering the elevator. Damn. What floor did he live on again? Casper pushed a random button and hoped for the best. Once out of it he recognized the familiar hall way that he walked with Ky hand in hand with. He smiled once he saw the door. Walking up to it he put his hand on the handle but stopped himself. He forgot this wasnt his home, instead knocking on it a few times instead.

Kyran had been in the middle of a very important conversation with Fran about adulthood, that was actually pretty one-sided in hindsight when he heard the knocks on the door. He stood up from the kitchen island, leaving the young girl to her thoughts and ice cream to answer the door. He looked through the peephole, seeing a familiar head of deep brunette hair and a face full of freckles, he backed up and opened the door with a wide grin, opening his arms wide in a greeting.

"Cas! It's good to see you again, amigo. I trust you didn't go over the speed limit too much on your way here, yes?" He asked, sort of rhetorically. He stepped aside to let Casper in and shut the door behind him, "Don't be shy of Fran, by the way. She's probably more social than I am."

Casper gave a snort and walked into the familiar place. His eyes caught a tiny girl sitting at the counter with what looked like to be a strawberry ice cream in hand, almost gone. He made his way over to his couch and set his small camera bag down on it gently. "Shes cute." he chirped kindly. It seemed a lot of Kyrans family looked alike. He didnt know what little children were like, he was always the youngest child in the bunch so this should be interesting.

He didnt know what little children were like, he was always the youngest child in the bunch so this should be interesting.
Giving somewhat of an arrogant, but playful scoff, he headed over to the girl, hooking his hands under her arms and lifting her high above his head fast and let momentum carry her down, putting her on his arm, "Where do you think she gets it from?" He said, going to a drawer and pulling out a towel, running it underneath the sink, then bringing it to the girl's face and gently wiping away some of the sticky pink substance she'd managed to get all over her arms, hands, and face, but not a spot on even his counter, which he wouldn't have cared. Children were truly a couple of mysteries. He took the empty paper cone from her sticky hands and tossed it in the trash can, making her rub her fingers clean before putting her back down.

Kyran smiled as she hurried off to Casper, already curious to meet him and make a friend out of him. Really, the whole sociable thing ran in the family. He turned and grabbed her small bags from the door, heading down the hall to put them in his room. He'd gotten a little air mattress for her, they would put it on the floor of his room, next to the bed. He just didn't want to leave her things in the living room.

Franny sort of half walked half waddled toward Casper, hopping up onto the couch, big brown eyes scanning Casper up and down, cocking her head to the side, puffing her lip out almost suspiciously, "¿Eres novio de tío?" She asked, somehow able to string words together more easily than most her age.

As she sat on the couch he sat down next to her with a smile still on his face. Translating the Spanish his eyes widened and he gave a nervous laugh,"No, Desafortunadamente." he chuckled. If it were an adult to ask that he wouldve been nervous as hell but this was only a child, no harm done. Thats the second person to think he was dating Kyran. Was he that obvious that even a child could see it? Or was it like this for every guy that walked through Kys door? he tucked a stray curl behind his ear,"Solo somos amigos." thats all they were right? only friends. yeah. Though Kyran didnt exsactly deny Carmens boyfriend statement. He shrugged it off, Carmen could be intimidating towards new people. They were just friends. He kept repeating that in his mind.

Fran squinted suspiciously at Casper, pursing her lips exactly like Kyran did when he was thinking, although it felt more like an accusation the way she did it. She made a sort of humming noise as if trying to figure out whether Casper was lying or not, but then it all returned back to normal, and she let out a giggle. It sort of sounded like Kyran's, if more high-pitched and less shy sounding.

Kyran came back into the room with his hands on his hips in a way that can only be described as a Dad pose, "No vas a darle a Casper un tiempo difícil, ¿verdad?" He asked. Fran laughed again, shaking her head no. He smiled and gave a light chuckle, "Bueno. Hay juguetes para ti establecidos en el dormitorio, y voy a dejar entrar Fuego para ti." Fran gave a cheer and jumped off the couch, hurrying to the bedroom while Kyran opened the sliding door to let Fuego in, who gave him an affectionate nuzzle before running over to Fran, who was sitting in the hallway holding a dog toy.

Fran gave a cheer and jumped off the couch, hurrying to the bedroom while Kyran opened the sliding door to let Fuego in, who gave him an affectionate nuzzle before running over to Fran, who was sitting in the hallway holding a dog toy.
Okay it was official. this kid was probably the most adorable thing. He couldnt take her squint seriously, instead trying to hold back an adored chuckle. She even giggled like Kyran, oh how his heart was melting. Seeing Kyran come back into the room and fran running to go play with the dog he smiled up at him from the couch,"Shes a charmer," he gave a small chuckle. He doubted Ky couldve heard the small interrogation Fran had given him. "How long is she going to be staying here?"

With a huff, Kylanded himself on the couch. The day had been pretty hectic, he had to do all the usual stuff, then cut it short and drive down to the Villas and visit with his family, which takes a lot of energy in itself, and he had to take care of this little monster for maybe two or three days, depending on how much of a break Edi needed. He'd take care of Fran for the rest of the month if she needed. Okay, maybe not that long, but at least for a while, she really deserved it.

"Oh, just a couple of days, I don't know exactly, Edi's pretty indecisive," He explained, watching this giant wave of white fur be so gentle and sweet around such a tiny little girl. It brought a warm smile to his face, a kind of... maternal one, really. Like a parent watching their child in a sports game or something. He turned his attention to Casper, "Just saying this now, she doesn't understand a lot of English. Mostly curse words, so try to keep that to a minimum."

He didnt curse a lot anyway,"I wonder where she learned those words." he chuckled. Guess hed actually have to put his Spanish to the test to be able to talk to a cute little girl. He looked over to Kyran and saw his gaze on Fran and Fuego, he couldnt help but smile too. "You guys are so alike I couldve mistaken you for her dad or something," he chuckled. With the little ways she laugh or giggled or even gazed as Casper he could tell it was Kyrans kin. "You ever thought of having kids of your own?" it wasnt that weird of a question to ask him, of course he knew his age from local magazines or something. Usually around his age is when people seemed to be slowing down and settling, thinking of families and all that. But Kyran seemed as busy as could be running businesses and all. He seemed to be doing anything but settling down but hey, everybody was different.

Kyran rolled his eyes, "She's my sister's daughter, what can I say. We've got strong genes." He smiled. But at the question of children, his brows furrowed. Well, when he was younger, yes, of course, he'd wished of settling down with a family, but he wasn't really the settling down type anymore. Although he owned a family van, he barely used it, and he would be far too busy to make real time for his family, as much as he'd wish to. A partner, maybe, maybe one kid, but there would be no settling down for him. Kyran was something of a free spirit, you couldn't really ever tape him down. If his family was willing to move if he needed to move, then maybe. But he didn't really need to explain all that. Instead, he shrugged.

"Perhaps one day," Was all he said, staring at Fuego and Fran play for a while before clearing his throat, "What about you, Amigo? Ever think of having a couple of little idiots running circles around you?"

He tipped his head in thought, curls flopping to one side. He hadnt really thought about it before honestly, to busy in his job to think of anything else. He thought of his family back home though. Even if he didnt have kids he had three crazy cousins that sure acted like children. Casper wouldnt mind a lover, maybe a kid or two but that wasnt his number one focus at the moment. He wanted to start a career in America, to be a biologist like he had always wanted. When younger he didnt see himself with anybody, he didnt see himself with kids or anything. It was never his intention, but he wouldnt mind it either way. He shrugged,"One day maybe, I still feel like a kid myself." He wasnt lying, he did look like one.

Kyran hummed and nodded, though he couldn't particularly relate, he himself was pushing thirty, but he knew what Casper meant. He took a deep breath, taking his attention away from Fran as she tumbled around the room with Fuego, giggling in his own familiar way. He looked out through the balcony. It was later in the afternoon now, halfway to evening, the sun edging toward the horizon. He stood up and slid open the glass door again, stepping barefoot out onto the smooth wooden surface. The cool air washed over his face and he took a deep breath of it, leaning against the side of the veranda. He sort of hoped Casper would follow him out there, it's why he'd left the door open.

When he and Chi had spoken a week, she told him she had met someone. Someone kind and sweet, and someone who she felt she could match well with. She wanted to take things slow, though. She didn't know if she was ready. She'd expressed how she'd felt, but she told him she was denying it. He asked why, and when she gave him the reason, he reassured her. She told him she felt better after that and that everything was much clearer. Kyran had done some talking of his own. He talked about this guy he liked, and how when they touched his heart beat faster, and sometimes it felt like it was just the two of them in the room, nothing else. How he made him stutter and struggle to talk. But he wasn't sure if he should go for it, they'd barely known each other. But the way they clicked, the way they were so easy with one another, how Carmen had said even she had never seen Casper so easy with someone before, it made him second guess himself. Chi took his hand, flashing a warm smile. It doesn't matter how long you've known each other. It doesn't matter if you've known him for one hour or one year. What matters is the impact they have on you. If he feels right, maybe he is right. Sometimes you shouldn't think at all, sometimes you've just got to jump.

He looked up at the sun. Sometimes you shouldn't think at all. Sometimes you've just got to jump. He'd been the one to tell her that, a long time ago. He was sort of offended she was using it against him, but he was glad she reminded him of his own advice. He sighed, falling back into a patio chair, resting his elbow on the arm rest and his chin in his palm. The words kept echoing in his head and it sort of made him anxious, it made him want to think. No. No more overthinking. If you think about doing it. Do it. If things go badly, oh well. Don't think, just jump. Don't think, just jump. Don't think. Jump.

Watching Kyran walk outside and leave the door open he took the notion to follow him. He left the door open behind him so Ky could hear Fran of course. The view was beautiful. It seemed like he could see most of the city from here. he sat in a lawn chair next to him, eyes roaming the sky. The pretty hues of pastel colors as it was almost time for the sun to set. He liked moments like this. It wasnt he didnt enjoy Kyrans voice, because believe me he did, but he liked the comfortable silence. The same thought came back into his mind. The cliffside. God. Kyran was so close. So so close..it wouldve taken less then a second to lean in and kiss him. It wouldve been the perfect moment too. The water mist on his face, the way the sun haloed around kyran as he looked at him. How it felt nice to feel his breath on his lips. Even if they didnt kiss there was still the hand holding, the bed sharing, and when they almost kissed in the van. He didnt know what it was but he just felt safe around Kyran. Felt a connection. He didnt know what it was, he wasnt sure if he had feelings for him, he wasnt even sure if he was gay. He didnt care about all of that right now. All Casper knew was-"I wanted to kiss you in the van, you know." it seemed to be the lingering question in his mind. Did you want to kiss Kyran? Did you? But asoon as he said it out loud he knew it was right. He could feel his cheeks go red. He avoided eye contact with Kyran. He could feel is throat go dry. He wanted to tremble and shake. He looked towards the ground shyly, not wanting to look Kyran in the eye in fear he would be angry. What if Ky thought he was weird? What if he didnt want to speak to him ever again? What if he kicked him out of his house at the very moment? Honestly, Casper wouldnt blame him. Anxeity rose in him and he felt like he wanted to cry, not out of sadness but out of worry and judgement. Whenever he dealt with possibly romantic things like this it always ended badly, he wouldnt be shocked it it wasnt different.

Whenever he dealt with possibly romantic things like this it always ended badly, he wouldnt be shocked it it wasnt different.
He wouldn't lie, the sentence caught him off-guard. More off-guard than unusual closeness. More off-guard than unnoticed feelings. But he just sort of stared out at the view. He could sense Casper's anxiety. He could basically taste it. He wanted to hold his hand and reassure him that it was okay, he felt the same way. He wanted to hold him close and brush those messy brown waves from his eyes and tell him everything was okay, he wasn't angry or upset or anything. But he didn't. He looked down at his feet, to the sky, to the railing on the balcony. He looked everywhere until there was nothing else to look at but Casper. Even then, he avoided it. Kyran stood up, moving to lean onto the railing. What was he even to say? His mind had gone blank. He couldn't jump if he didn't have anything to jump off of or into. So what was he to do now.

Kyran was dumbfounded, in all honesty. He didn't know how to respond, and for once, the talkative, confident, unphased exterior he built around himself began to crumble and fall around him like a king who'd lost his kingdom. His head was in a blender and his heart might as well be beating out of his chest. After a while, he spoke, voice soft, but not broken. He wasn't looking at Casper.

"Did you want to kiss me at the cliffside?" But he already knew the answer. He just wanted to be sure. He needed to be sure. Even the slightest mistake could ruin him. It would ruin him. Not his outward image, but his own image of himself. It was a 50/50 chance for him. Do or die. Make or break. His whole universe was in the balance of what Casper said next and for the life of him, Kyran couldn't understand why.

"Yes." you could physically hear the crack in his voice. He could feel the lump in his throat. Kyran didnt say anything reguarding his confession, and frankly that only made Casper more nervous because he didnt know what Kyran was thinking. He couldnt see his face. He wasnt even looking at him. He felt shutter rack through him. He should have said anything, maybe she shouldve just kept his mouth shut. He shouldnt even have brought it up. He felt sorry. "I-Im s-sorry if I m-made you feel uncomfortable," he hiccuped, he could feel water form at the edges of his eyes but he didnt let them fall. He would not let anyone see him cry,"m-maybe Ill j-just go." he didnt want to leave at all but. he didnt want Kyran to feel weirded out. He didnt want Kyran to be angry or upset. His anxiety was getting to him and it was hard to not only look at the worst possible outcomes.

Kyran turned around fast, almost speaking too loud. He kept his voice low, though it was warmer now, more sympathetic. Genuine. He took Casper's hand into his, pulling him towards him, "No, no, no, that's not it at all," He said quickly, his hands growing damp. He put a hand underneath Casper's chin, lifting it so their eyes met. When he didn't wear his glasses, Casper's eyes were a much more brilliant green. Still olive, but brighter. Softer. Clearer. Kyran was shaking, and his breath wasn't even. He had no idea why. He swallowed, feeling guilt when he saw the tears in his eyes. He reached up with one hand, brushing a few waves from Cas's eyes, dragging his fingers down to loosely cup the Australian's face, a handful of freckles captured in his palm. His lips parted, as if he wanted to say something, anything. I did too. I love you. It's okay. Anything, anything at all. But they were so close the words were caught in his throat. He wasn't even an inch away from Casper's lips, their lips even closer. Don't hesitate. Don't think. Just jump. Jump. Do it now. Jump. He trembled, swallowed hard, his throat and mouth were dry, his palms were damp. His lips were apart. He could do it. One more shot. He knew Casper wanted to kiss him. And he wanted to kiss Casper. This was it. Cut the tension. Let yourself lose. Just jump. He inched himself closer and closer to Cas's face and--

"TIO KYRAN!" Fran's shrill voice broke the quiet that had blanketed around them and Ky let out a gasp, dropping his hands from Casper and jamming them in his pockets. His heart was pounding out of his chest. He'd almost done it. He cleared his throat and called back.

"Si, Franny?"

"TENGO HAMBRE!" Came the whiny reply.

Ky swallowed, letting out a nervous and somewhat disappointed chuckle, holding up a flat palm, "Disculpas," He murmured, sounding genuinely apologetic as he slipped bast Casper and back into the apartment to tend to Fran's hunger.

He felt those familiar hands between his own, pulling him up out of the chair. He looked down until he could feel gentle, soft hands on his face. When he looked up all he could see were those big copper eyes. he could feel his cheeks grow warmer. He let his own hands grip onto Kyrans arms gently as if to make sure he was real. That this was read. The time came to a stop and everything was quiet. It was silent but he could hear his heart beating a million times per minute. He was so close. He could feel the familiar breath on his lips again. He could feel the softest smile creep upon his face. he felt warm. He felt safe. he wanted this moment to never end, just them in their own little world for just a moment. He let his eyes flutter to a close as he felt that breath lean closer. He wanted this. He wanted this so bad-
again.
The third time of being so close to finally kissing him. He made a sound of both a whimper and a yelp, jumping slightly in the air at hearing Frans demand of food. He let his arms fall to his side reluctantly. As Kyran mumbled and apology and walked inside to Fran, he stayed outside for a moment. Dumbfounded. He brought a hand to his face where Kyran had held it. His eyes were still wide, no longer watering. He let his hands run down to touch his lips where Kyrans should have been. he couldnt be bitter against a child, she was meerly hungry.He didnt mind. Though it left Casper a bit happier, wiping his hands across his eyes and giving a few sniffs before walking inside. You could say he felt much better.

Kyran couldn't be mad at Franny. She was just a child, and she was hungry, as well as being in his care. It was his responsibility. He was disappointed though, he'd been so close. This time he hadn't over thought it, he hadn't hesitated. He'd been ready to make his move. He'd been ready since he and Chi's talk last week. He only wished he would have better timing. Still, he ruffled the girl's short hair as he walked by her, flashing a grin which she returned, following right on his heels.

He stepped into the kitchen, tying on his stained apron and getting to work. It was about time for dinner anyway, so he might as well start to work. He'd gone out shopping and now had real, actual food in his refrigerator, so he got to work, pulling out pots and pans and turning on the gas stove. He was really trying to outdo himself now.

Still, as he worked, he couldn't but get the feeling of outside out of his head. He'd been close, and this time it hadn't been an accident. He'd actually tried to kiss Casper this time, if only he'd moved one second faster. He was not less than a centimetre away from contact when Fran had whined about being hungry. Though he didn't blame her, he blamed his own awful timing. He turned his attention away from the stove to look at his niece. She sat grinning up at him in one of the stools at the kitchen table with Fuego laying underneath her chair. He smiled back before turning back to what he was doing.

He stepped into the kitchen, tying on his stained apron and getting to work. It was about time for dinner anyway, so he might as well start to work. He'd gone out shopping and now had real, actual food in his refrigerator, so he got to work, pulling out pots and pans and turning on the gas stove. He was really trying to outdo himself now.

Still, as he worked, he couldn't but get the feeling of outside out of his head. He'd been close, and this time it hadn't been an accident. He'd actually tried to kiss Casper this time, if only he'd moved one second faster. He was not less than a centimetre away from contact when Fran had whined about being hungry. Though he didn't blame her, he blamed his own awful timing. He turned his attention away from the stove to look at his niece. She sat grinning up at him in one of the stools at the kitchen table with Fuego laying underneath her chair. He smiled back before turning back to what he was doing.
Casper shut the door behind him, hearing the clack of the pans he guessed Kyran was going to make dinner. His mouth watered at the thought, that boy did make good food. He made his way to the stools and sat next to Fran, giving a small smile to the girl before turning his attention to Kyran. They had both been so close and this time Casper didnt feel nervous because he knew they both wanted it. Kyran wanted to kiss him too, and that made his heart flutter a bit. Okay so. Maybe he had a little crush on Kyran. Okay little was an understatement. He fell a bit hard for the Hispanic the moment he laid his eyes on him and he coulnt stop smiling because he knew Kyran felt the same. Normally Casper wouldnt stay for dinner. It was starting to get dark outside and he knew he had a long drive home. But he couldnt let himself leave right now. He didnt know if he was drunk off of happiness or simply Kyrans presence, but he didnt want to leave. The drive home was worth it, he didnt have work tomorrow anyway.

He mixed spices in a big mixing bowl into some ground beef, making sure everything was mixed in well before dividing the meat almost equally. Two patties being bigger than one smaller one for Fran. A skillet sat over a gas hot plate on high with oil just beginning to heat inside it. As the oil began to pop, he put the patties inside. While they cooked, he got two medium bowls, taking one and heading to a cutting board. He cut an avocado in half, slapping the knife into the seed and twisting it to get it out. He spooned the insides into the bowl, then cut a lime in half and sprinkled in only half before picking up some salt and mixing it together. He took a bit to taste for himself, tilting his head as if unsure. He took a little bit more on the end of his spoon and walked over to Fran, holding it to her mouth.

"Gusto," He commanded simply, putting his hand underneath Fran's chin to make sure nothing spilt.

Fran nodded, taking a small bite of the mixture and tasting it for a second, her face contorting a moment in thought before she grinned and nodded vigorously in approval.

Kyran smiled triumphantly, eating the rest of the mix off the spoon and putting it in the sink. He took the mix back over to the ingredients, beginning to work with other ingredients to make another type of sauce.

The small girl turned her eyes to Casper for a moment, eyes narrowing, she looked at her uncle's back, then back to Casper. She cocked her head to the side before laughing, and saying a little louder than she'd meant, "Tio Casper!"

He felt a wave of heat rush over him and he just stared wide eyed at the toddler for a moment. Okay okay calm down, maybe you translated it wrong. But no. He most defiantly heard the word uncle. He looked over to Kyran who seemed to be busy cooking. Maybe he hadnt heard, maybe he had, he didnt know. He found it cute that a kid would say it. He knew kids were often blunt, not having any shame in what they say at all. He gave a small smile, giving Fran a small pat on the head,"Me gusta." he liked the ring to that. Uncle Casper. he thought for a second. He didnt didnt even know what him and Kyran were at the moment. All he knew is that he was super into him and Kyran felt the same. he didnt worry about labels. And frankly; he didnt care right now. For now, hed let Fran call him Kyrans boyfriend and call him Uncle Casper if thats what she wished,she was to cute to be corrected.

Oh, Kyran definitely heard her, the whole loudness thing was sort of genetic. He didn't say anything though, just continued to cook the burgers and make sure the sauces were okay until everything was up to his standards. He knew few actual recipes, some he only got online, a few he grew up with. Mexican style burgers were a thing he grew up with. It was something that was tradition, sort of. It was the weekend, after all. He smothered the avocado mix on two of the buns, putting his own and Fran's on, but he wasn't sure if Casper wanted any. He built the two burgers and took the other sauce, painting it lightly over the tops of them. That part was mandatory. It was a sort of citrusy mix with a few other ingredients mixed in with pepper and oregano.

He called over his shoulder, "Casper, do you not want avocado on your burger?" He turned around with just Fran's on a plate, serving it to her before he served himself and Casper. He had to put the little girl to bed right after dinner, and he sort of wanted some alone time with Casper. No distractions. Not anymore. Just the two of them. Nothing would interrupt it.

"Yes please," he had never tried it, but he would trust Kyrans cooking instincts. The simple smell of the food in the air made his mouth water more and more. It smelled much better then cafeteria food from the laboratory food court. It felt nice too, not just the smell of the food but the general atmosphere. In his house it was quiet, not pets running around but a large snake that kept him company. He liked the presence of Kyran and Fran was growing on him a bit too. It felt nice.

Nodding, he made Casper's burger the same way he made his own and Fran's, putting them on one serving plate and setting it on the kitchen island with a grin, "Buen provecho," He said, turning back around to quickly clean up the mess he made. He wrapped the avocado mix in plastic wrap, putting it in the fridge, throwing away the fruit peels and styrofoam containers, taking the pans to the sink and rinsing them all quickly before opening the dishwasher and closing it. He'd start the cycle when he and Casper were finished.

"Gracias," he flashed a smile and slid one of the plates in front of him. It was weird hearing a mixture of an Australian accent and a hispanic one but he figured having Kyran now hed need to atleast put an effort into his failed Spanish studies. Picking up the burger he took a bite and wasnt surprised that it was just as delicious as the other meals Kyran had made for him. He appreciated it really, it was better then any other food he had tasted. Perhaspe hed have to cook for Kyran himself sometime.

When Kyran finally sat down, Fran was half way done. He looked at her and grinned, she gave him a messy grin back and he passed her a paper towel. He asked her if it was good, and she nodded her head fast, swallowing her food and taking another big, messy bite. Ky chuckled, taking a bite of his own, though much cleaner than the young lady sitting across from him. He couldn't be a judge of his own food, but if he had to say so, it wasn't too bad. He turned and got up, getting two tall glasses and one smaller one, going to his refrigerator and filling each with cold water, setting them on the table as he sat back down.

He looked at Casper, "So, how is it?" Mostly he was curious because he'd sort of made that from memory, as he hadn't eaten, or even made these since he lived in the Villas, and that was maybe 6 years ago now.

He took a few more bites if his meal before he asked a question,"Its really good, better then anything I could ever make." he ate frozen boxed meals most of the time because he was to tired to cook. He could make a few australian dishes but nothing like this.

Kyran was eating slowly now, in a noticeable way, rather than the last time he'd basically inhaled the dinner he'd cooked for him and Casper. Maybe it was because Fran was here, or because he just wanted to spend more time with Cas and not worry about it too much with his niece there. In any case, he liked it. He always lived life fast, but he liked to appreciate it when things slowed down. But nothing really slowed down before he met Casper. That night, if it'd just been Carmen and Chi, he probably would have gone back home to do some paper work, down some frozen TV dinner and pass out on the couch. That was pretty much his routine if he ever went home at all. Sometimes he just passed out in his office at the store.

In no time, Fran was done and chugging her glass of water. Ky had reached to grab her plate, but she shooed his hand away and slid off her chair, carefully picking up her plate and cup, rinsing both in the sink she couldn't really reach, and gently putting them in the dishwasher. She turned to Kyran with a grin. He had his chair turned to her, arms folded across his chest with a brow quirked. She looked up at him innocently. He rolled his eyes.

"This doesn't mean you aren't going to bed early," He said, turning back to his dinner as Fran pouted.

"Tio," She whined, carrying out the last syllable, Ky hushed her and nodded toward the hall. She didn't throw a tantrum, but was obviously defiant about it, taking her time to head down the hall and get ready for bed.

He took a sip of his water with a faint chuckle,"You have a way with kids," he really did too. He couldnt remember the last time he saw a toddler actually listen to someone without a fuss. As much as he enjoyed Fran he was appreciative of having some alone time to Kyran. He felt a new sort of giddy in him, not having to really hide his affections or feel nervous about anything. Which was a new feeling, it took a lot to earn Caspers trust and comfort, and Kyran had done that so easily it scared him a bit.

"Heh, she's only like that because I'm her favourite," He explained, "Everyone loves Tio Kyran because he's the fun tio." That's how it is with all kids. Really, Fran would throw a fit and make a huge fuss if it was her mom or dad, and most of the younger kids listened to him because they knew that if they did, he would do something nice for them before he left. Whether it was take them all to some fun house place, or cook for them or take them all out to eat, they liked him because he sort of spoiled them. He did know when to be stern and cut them off, but he was the fun uncle. That had privileges. That's why most of his family, if they ever needed a really trusted baby sitter, Kyran was the way to go. He was a natural with kids anyway, but being nice to them and treating them to nice things every now and again made it work.

He took a long drink of water. His heart was beating faster now. He was alone with Casper and would be alone with him after he put Fran to bed. For the rest of the night. Alone. The two of them. No interruptions. Alone. Alone together. He chewed the inside of his lip. He wasn't getting nervous, what? Kyran Gonzalez didn't get nervous. He was over that. There was no way Kyran was getting nervous. He ate another big bite of his burger to keep himself from chewing on his lip too much and to keep himself from saying something stupid like he heard the whole thing about 'Tio Casper' or something worse.

"I can see why," Casper didnt have any little kids in his family. His family wasnt that big, unlike Kyrans, and were busy most of the time. There were maybe 4 or 5 cousins in total counting himself; he had no siblings. But his..satan spawns of family, also known as his triplet cousins, were a handful despite being older than him and often acted like children. It balanced out. He took a last few bites of the food before he was finished, picking up his glass of water again. "I dont have little kids in my family but I have crazy cousins." he smiled at the thought of them. Though now they were alone. Like, alone alone. Meaning Fran just had to be put to bed and hed actually have Kyran to himself. Alone since their third almost first kiss on the balcony. He could feel his heart beat a bit faster. To distract himself he took another sip of his water.

Kyran couldn't help but chuckle at that, finishing off his own burger and taking a drink of his water, "Like the stereotypes of you? The kind that rides off a roof on a dirtbike and put bottle rockets in anything but a bottle?" He couldn't help but giggle helplessly at the thought of this tiny, anxious, adorable little guy surrounded by a towering family of terrifying Australians that would probably shotgun a Redbull and a whisky at the same time just to see what it did. That might be where Casper got his biologist side, actually, the experimental thing. He really couldn't see such a soft-spoken guy be related to a bunch of stereotypical Australians though.

Thinking back to his own family, Kyran's brothers were part of a gang, his sister and brother-in-law were pretty quiet, his mom and dad were old and in retirement, and all the other cousins and nephew and nieces were pretty rowdy, but that was normal. The most unusual thing about his family was the fact his brothers were leaders of a gang, who, he would add, brought them over for dinner sometimes. They were pretty nice.

He gave a snort,"Sterotypes come from some where, right?" it was true. His cousins were a mess and he dreaded the day thy would come visit him in America. He hadnt seen them in awhile actually, maybe a year or two but he tries to keep in touch despite how busy his life could be. He didnt have any family here, his Parents saw potential that couldnt be achieved in Australia. It was only suppose to be aslong to finish school and college and come home. When Casper didnt, it had caused some fights. He didnt talk much to them anymore. But his cousins would talk for them and just as loud. Sometimes he couldn't believe he was related to his family. They could be rowdy and loud hosting parties, while Casper would always be in the back room reading books or something. "Theyre a handful, they make you look quiet. But I love them nonetheless." They could be 3 hellions that had an Australian accent, but they were family. Unfortunately.

"Heh, yeah, I suppose," Kyran agreed, taking the plate to the sink and rinsing it off and sticking it in the dishwasher, starting the cycle and turning back to Casper to find than Fran was standing the door way smiling, teeth freshly brushed and in her pyjamas, a small, stuffed sock monkey tucked between her chest and her arm, a wide grin on her face. Kyran exaggerated a fake sigh, flashing a big smile of his own as he crouched down and opened his arms wide. Fran giggled, running over to hop into his arms. Kyran planted a big, exaggerated kiss on the top of her head and laughed, giving her a spin before he sighed.

"Eso fue rápido, ¿estás listo para ir a la cama, querida?" He murmured, to which Fran replied with an excited nod, "Muy bien." He turned to Casper, "I'll be right back," He half whispered half mouthed, bouncing the girl on his arm and giggling hopelessly as he turned and went down the hall to put her to bed. Fuego didn't get up to follow them but instead sat under the kitchen island but Casper's feet, leaning on his legs and looking up with pleading puppy eyes.

Just watching Kyran interact with Fran made his heart melt. Even if Kyran wasnt thinking about kids, hed be such a good dad. He stood up and stretched, feeling soft fur at his feet. He looked down, she looked up. God was everything in Kyrans life cute? He smiled and crouched down for a moment, patting the dog on the head and letting his fingers get tangled in her soft white fur. He wished he had a dog, but he simply didnt have time to care for one with his job. Giving one last pet he stood back up again and sat on the couch, feet crossed like an elementary school kid and he picked up his polaroid that was on the table. It was a more modern one, since vintage was coming back into style and all, he wouldn't bring his old polaroid out of his house. No way. So he fiddled with the settings on it, fingers grazing over the buttons as he put Fran to bed.

He put the little girl on the small air mattress, tossing a blanket over her and making sure she had her little stuffed monkey before giving her a kiss on her head. Before he could get up, she wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a big kiss on the cheek, making them both laugh. Fuego came into the room after that, putting herself right at Fran's side, who cuddled her and gave her a kiss on the snout as she laid her head down beside the little girl's. Bidding his niece and his dog good night, he stepped out of the room, slowly shutting the door with a quiet click, backing away a few steps before heaving a sigh of relief and going back down the hall to the living room. Now they were really alone, him and Casper. Alone alone. Fuego was sleeping with Fran, the door was closed, and now he had Casper to himself, and they were alone. Again. He came into the living room, seeing that Casper was there now, the only sound in the kitchen being the dishwasher. He folded his arms across his chest, huffing a chuckle as he stepped closer to him.

"Sorry about that. She's a nosy kid, you know how they are. She's asleep though, usually is when Fuego's there," He said, voice soft now, the reason unknown if it was because he always talked like that with Casper around or he didn't want to disturb his niece. He sat down on the couch, flashing something of a shy smile to Casper.

He gave a small hum in response, returning Kyrans shy smile. Now they were really alone. No interruptions. No buzzing of their phones, no dogs barking, no kids hungry. Nothing. It was quiet besides the humming of the dishwasher in the kitchen. It was silent. So quiet he could feel his heart pounding and his breath shake a little when under the Hispanics gaze. He thought about the last time they were alone. Kyran had full intentions on kissing him. Casper had full intentions on kissing Kyran. And now that they were alone he didnt know what to do, was he going to make a move? Was Kyran expecting for him to make a move first? Thoughts ran through his head and only made him nervous, not that you could tell on the outside though. He leaned over to place his camera back on the table and turned his attention on the boy infront of him.

This was different. It's what all the tension he'd created all boiled down to. He could go for it right now, just grab him and close the gap, cut the tense wire that just kept getting tighter between them without a hitch. He could. But something held him back and he didn't know what it was. He'd been so ready before, so eager to kiss him, and now, faced with such an easy, simple situation and he couldn't bring himself to do it. He just went rigid, chewing the inside of his cheek. The other times had been so incidental, so awkward, and he could have gone for it, but he hadn't. Now, when he could, it was just less than a moment away, he didn't. What was wrong with him? He could do it, right now, just grab him, close the gap. Close the gap. Jump. But he couldn't. He just froze. For the first time in a while, he felt anxious, scared even, maybe unsure? He didn't know what to do, he didn't know what he was doing. He felt lost. He needed a scene to play out, he needed a plan, he couldn't just do things and wing it and not worry. He had to make a fail-safe plan, something that would guarantee no interruptions, something he could roll with smoothly.

He cleared his throat, slipping his phone from his pocket and muting it, setting it face down on the coffee table. He stood up, making his way to the glass door and opening it, stepping outside and beckoning Casper to follow him. What was he doing? He had zero idea. It just felt right.

Watching Kyran motion for him to follow slightly he followed. He felt nervous. What was there to be nervous about? It seemed with this kid he could think of a reason for everything. Nervous because he didnt know if or when Kyran would do anything. Get was impatient or anything but. He couldnt stop thinking about it. He couldnt stop thinking how nice his hands felt around his face. How close he had been. How easily Casper himself had leaned into his embrace. He was nervous. He was nervous to do this again. He hadnt dated since highschool and that was long gone. He was scared of taking chances with someone again. Scared of opening up more to a person in fear of getting hurt. But once he stepped outside he felt the nice chill of auttum air and saw the view. For once, he didnt think. The anxiety written boy didnt have a thought in his head. It was night now of course, the sun set and the sky darkening. But thats not what caught Caspers view. It was the lights of the city. The rushing cars on the streets, the blinking lights of the shops, the multicolor hues of the street lights. It was beautiful.He wanted to take a picture of it, to capture this moment. But he didnt grab his camera. He wanted to enjoy this moment instead of capturing it for once. Casper saw this often where he lived. He lived in the city, he saw this all the time, but for some reason he was still in awe. He was sure it was because he knew Kyran was next to him. He leaned on the railing next to Kyran, letting the small breeze waft through his curly hair. He looked towards the boy next to him,"Its a beautiful view." he couldve been talking about the view or the view of Kyran next to him, both would be accurate.

It was beautiful. But Kyran saw this every day. Every morning when he woke up, sometimes when he went to bed. It was so ordinary. But for some reason, he looked at it, and it could have taken his breath away. He'd lived in this city almost all his life, seen all of it so much he could draw it all like the back of his hand. There was just something about this night that made him look at the city lights, listen to the speeding cars, see the people in the streets and think it was beautiful. It was so strange for him to see it that way, but at that moment, it felt right. He felt Casper's eyes on him and looked his way. Even away from the lights, all the way up here, everything behind him reflected in his pretty olive eyes. God, those eyes, Kyran swore they held the world in them. He couldn't make himself look away, even if he really wanted to. He just stood there, watching the lights flicker. He chewed his lip a moment before he turned to Casper, gently, and admittingly nervously, taking Casper's hands into each of his own. He had no idea what he was doing, he just kept going with it. He stared at Casper for the longest time, trying to get himself to speak, but each time he did it, nothing came out of his mouth and he shut it. He ran his thumbs over the backs of Casper's hands, chewing his lip again, staring down to their intertwining fingers. What was he supposed to even say? What was he trying to say? Still, Chi's words bounced inside of his head. Jump. Jump. Do it now. It's your chance. No interruptions. But all he could do was take a shaky breath and give a few nervous laughs.

He was nervous. He could tell so easily against Kyrans usual calm composure. It gave him comfort that he wasnt the only one. He felt those hands in his and he couldve melted. When gazing at him he could feel a soft smile rise to his face, gently grazing his thumb over Kyrans in silent comfort. Dont be nervous. Dont be nervous. But he could feel his nervousness wash away when he really looked at the guy infront of him. His styled dark hair that he suddenly had the urge to run his hands through. Soft brown eyes that he could stare at all day. Warm hands that were much bigger then his own. He didnt know what it was but he felt safe. The humming of the cars faded away. The colors of the street lights reflected off of the other boys face, it was something that Casper could never capture with his camera. Something that you couldnt edit to make it look pretty, alter it to his liking. Kyran was perfect. He took a small step closer though, he didnt know what cause him to do it but it felt right. the gap felt to big for his liking. He could feel his face grow warm along with the tips of his ears. Usually hed be a nervous wreck but he felt none of that. Everything was at ease and he felt once again that they were in their own moment, that the world around them was paused. Casper continued to stare into those copper eyes that he adored.

And suddenly there was nothing else in the world but him and Casper. Just standing there, on the balcony. The noise ebbed away and there were no more buildings, but the lights still haloed the boy's angel-kissed face and dotted little stars in his eyes. Feeling him step closer, Kyran did the same, almost chest to chest with Casper. His face was burning and his heart was pounding out of his chest. It was so intense this time, it was nearly overwhelming for him. He swallowed thickly. This was it. This was the one. It had to be. There was nothing to distract them. No barking dogs, no hungry kids, no texts or phone calls. Nothing. He could do it. Stop thinking. Jump. Come on. Now. A hand came to Casper's face, capturing a fistful of freckles, a thumb grazing over the dotted cheek bone. He was so close, Casper's breath was on his lips again. He could feel the heat on his face coming off of him in waves. He started to lean in. He was so close now. He could feel Casper's lips brush his. But he stopped himself, struggling to swallow, his mouth and throat were dry. The scene was so familiar, but it was different this time. This time he knew it was going to happen. This is what Casper wanted. This is what Kyran wanted. It's what they needed. Do it. Cut the wire. Drop the tension. Don't think. Just jump. But he couldn't move to shut the space between them, anxiety pulling on his leash. He spoke, voice small, almost broken. Scared. He suddenly felt so tiny underneath Casper's gaze.

"Can-Can I...?"

He felt the hand on his face again. He was so close. Casper couldnt get over it. He let an arm slink around Kyrans waist. It felt nice there, like it belonged there. This was it. He hadnt kissed anyone in years, he had never had returned feelings. He hadnt felt this way in so long towards someone. As he leaned closer he could feel his breath tremble slightly. he could feel the rest of his body grow warm. He swore he could hear his heart beat. He felt the softest, most genuine smile Casper had given hearing his question. This boy knew how to pull at all of his heart strings. He could feel his fingers grip the edge of Kyrans shirt in a small nervous fist. He wanted this, he wanted this so bad. "Please-" his voice sounded soft, noticeably cracking.Almost begging. He wanted to feel his lips on his. He didnt doubt himself anymore. He didnt think of the past or how long it was since he last felt like this, how scary this was. He didnt care. He let his eyes flutter closed.

Kyran swallowed dryly, taking a slow, shaky breath through his mouth as he parted his lips. Don't hesitate. Don't think. Jump. He shut his eyes. He dove.

An explosion went off in Kyran's head. His ears were ringing and he couldn't even hear himself breathe, his breath hitched and he felt himself finally relax after the whole intensity of the thing. He was seeing colours and he felt light headed, now everything was fading. The sky, the city, the apartment building. It was just him. Casper. The balcony. Everything seemed so perfect. He put his other hand, fingers trembling, on the other side of Casper's face, tilting his head and leaning in further. He was in so deep now. He couldn't remember where he was. All he knew was if his heart hadn't skipped a beat, it had certainly stopped. He held the kiss for a long time. It was sweet and genuine and heartfelt and passionate, and just so very, very, perfect. Every single drop of anxiety was drained from him and he just kept going for it, his and Casper's lips dancing in unison. It was a scene straight out of a story book, or a movie.

Oh god. It was happening. He was stiff for a moment, taking the moment in. It all came piling in at once. The hand holding at the cafe, how his arms felt nice around him while they rode to the cliffside. The cliffeside. The falls. How close they were. The polaroid. The tree. The bedsharing. The van. How close they were in the van. How much better he felt around Kyran. How he didnt mind being called his boyfriend. How he made him feel safe. How he didnt stutter around him anymore. How genuine he was. He was Kyran, and thats all that Casper wanted. Nothing else. He kissed back with just as much passion, tilting his head. He couldnt help but smile into the kiss, it felt like fireworks were going off regarding physically. he didnt care. He slipped his other hand to match it other, both hands resting in the small of Kyrans back and locking themselves there.He could feel his trembling hands against his face. It only made it more real. Everything felt like it was on fire, his face, the tips of his ears along with the rest of him. He didnt care. It seemed to perfect, the city lights on the balcony. The pretty view(s). It seemed surreal. But he could still feel Kyrans lips on his and he was reminded of how real this was.

It seemed surreal. But he could still feel Kyrans lips on his and he was reminded of how real this was.
It was a natural high, being there on the veranda underneath the city lights, a million stars in the sky. They shined for him. They shined for them. Twinkling in the navy sky as they shared a kiss beneath them. This was something you couldn't photograph, couldn't redraw, recreate. It was a one time deal. A first kiss. There were mistakes, but that's what made it great. The clashing teeth, the shaky breath, the slightly awkward position. It's what made it so real. It's what made Kyran's heart melt. He felt Casper smile, and he couldn't help but share a grin himself. It wasn't something out of a story book or a movie. It wasn't because those scenes were fake, remade. They weren't anything like the real thing. Kyran was still shaking and his face was still burning and he couldn't describe the feeling other than being so completely and utterly alive. It was surreal.

Finally, reluctantly, Kyran pulled away, but not a lot, less than an inch, copper eyes fluttering open, lips still parted, slightly swollen, a little pink. His breathing was laboured. He just looked at Casper's face. Every contour and every curve, every freckle and every flaw, the rise and fall of the shape of his lips. God, he was so perfect. Kyran felt like he was dreaming, even though he knew he wasn't. It just seemed so altered. He smiled, the edges of his mouth quirking up, and he huffed out a chuckle, nervous and almost deliberate, but genuine nonetheless. His eyes began to tear up, but not enough to cry. He was just so in love with this stuttering, shy, Australian idiot he'd only met a week ago, he could barely believe it.

He was thinking, now. Sometimes, you do have to think. You still have to climb the cliffside, measure the distance. Sometimes you don't think and you jump. But sometimes you do think, and you get scared. You back out. You take some steps back. You feel like turning your back on it. Sometimes you do. But sometimes, even though you're terrified to death and over thinking, you take those few steps, and you run. You're in the air for a long time, but you fix your formation and you dive. And once you resurface from the dark water, you look back up at the cliff, and suddenly the distance you measured is much smaller and you realise you were terrified of nothing, and you laugh. You laugh and grin and realise all that tension, all that build up. It was so completely worth it, that if you had to do it over, you'd do it the exact same way.

He thought the night at the cliffside had been the best. Kissing him was all the confirmation he needed. He hadnt loved a person in so long, but there was no other way to describe it. He knew it wasnt infatuation. It was beyond that, way way beyond that. It was a feeling of pure bliss with another person, that they could make you so happy that you feel tipsy, make you giggle and smile effortlessly, that with them in your arms everything felt okay. They werent the best and they werent perfect and Casper knew that. He knew perfectly well he was taking a risk emotionally by falling for the boy at the cafe. But god he couldnt help himself. He couldnt help but love him. He couldnt help but hold onto him, fingers gripping his shirt to remain close. To remind himself that this was real. There was no reason to be scared. To remind himself that love was possible, whether it was one hour or one year. He loved Kyran. It didnt scare him anymore once he admitted it to himself.
When he pulled away he took a shaky breath and opened his eyes. His face was still red, a flush pink across his freckle kissed face. Lips parted as he took in trembling breaths of auttum air. He opened his eyes, olive meeting copper. He was so pretty. His smile, the way it squint his eyes slightly and show his teeth. Watching his eyes water he knew he felt just as emotional as Casper did, and he let his eyes water too, letting a single tear fall and he too smiled and gave a nervous laugh. He could stay like this forever honestly.
When Carmen had texted him to come to the cafe he wasnt expecting any of this. He wasnt expecting to fall for the boy that almost made him deaf when he introduced himself. He felt like the nerd and Kyran was the jock, because god was he so lucky by having him.

He thought the night at the cliffside had been the best. Kissing him was all the confirmation he needed. He hadnt loved a person in so long, but there was no other way to describe it. He knew it wasnt infatuation. It was beyond that, way way beyond that. It was a feeling of pure bliss with another person, that they could make you so happy that you feel tipsy, make you giggle and smile effortlessly, that with them in your arms everything felt okay. They werent the best and they werent perfect and Casper knew that. He knew perfectly well he was taking a risk emotionally by falling for the boy at the cafe. But god he couldnt help himself. He couldnt help but love him. He couldnt help but hold onto him, fingers gripping his shirt to remain close. To remind himself that this was real. There was no reason to be scared. To remind himself that love was possible, whether it was one hour or one year. He loved Kyran. It didnt scare him anymore once he admitted it to himself.

Kyran wiped the tear from Casper's face. Even emotional, he was so pretty. He wanted to say something. He had to say something. But what was he supposed to say? He was just as lost as he had been before the kiss. But he felt better. He felt okay. He took a breath, hoping the words would find themselves, and he opened his mouth.

"I--" There was knock on the glass and Kyran flinched, suddenly everything coming back. The city, the lights, the sounds, Franny knocking on the glass and staring out with wide eyes. She hadn't been there before. He took a deep breath as he glanced at her. At least he'd gotten to kiss Casper this time. He laughed, biting his lip as he reluctantly dropped his hands from Casper's face. He pulled away from him, mouthing 'sorry' before he slid by him and opened the sliding door, picking up a giggling little girl, murmuring some stern words in Spanish as he carried her to the kitchen. She'd wanted a glass of water. He filled a short glass with water and a couple of ice cubes, letting her take a sip before he carried her to the hall and put her down, giving her a kiss on the cheek that she returned and letting her waddle back to the bedroom with her water.

Hearing the knock at the door and seeing Fran he couldnt help but giggle. Of course. Only this time he had gotten to kiss Kyran. Feeling him pull away he watched him go get her water like she wanted. He followed, closing the balcony door and leaning his back against it, arms tucked behind him. Wow. He had just kissed Kyran. After what felt like ages, really only a week, of waiting. His heart fluttered a bit. He felt like some school girl that had finally gotten wish his crush. He was slightly shaking, not in a bad way or anything, but from the sheer emotions through him. He let a hand run through his messy hair as he closed his eyes for a moment,"Bloody hell," he spoke under his breath. His hand wandered to his lips again giving the cheesiest smile to himself. Lips still wet and rubbed them on the back of his hand.He didnt care that Fran had interrupted their moment, he had gotten to kiss Kyran and was relishing in the after glow.

Kyran watched her go, making sure she closed the door. He'd have to check in on her later to see if she was actually asleep, the little brat. He did love her though, he just didn't have any idea how long she'd been standing there or how much she saw. She'd probably rattle on about it back home if she'd really seen anything, and he would never hear the end of it. He wouldn't blame her though, years after coming out, his family gave him the same question they had, just switching girlfriend to boyfriend. Anyone that caught a word he was in it with someone for the long haul would probably get a reward or something if they had proof of it back home. Chuckling softly, he turned back around, seeing Casper was back inside and was leaning against the glass door. There was probably no way it couldn't be awkward. They couldn't make small talk, and they couldn't think about talking about anything else but what they'd shared outside. He didn't want to talk first, but he knew Casper probably didn't either. What the hell was he supposed to do? He knew Casper was special because, for the first time in his life, his head was scrambled, he didn't have a plan, he had no idea what he was doing. It was only Casper that did that to him, and he sort of liked it. It was a bit... freeing, to say the least. He cleared his throat, walking over to the other and taking one of his hands into his own, a message so simple, but it put Kyran's gut in a twist.

The other times he'd held Casper's hand, it had been simple, fingers separate, hands clasped, the kind used for little kids to make them obey, or whenever you were leading someone. It wasn't like that this time. He took Casper's hand, putting his dark, tanned finger's between Casper's lighter ones. They contrasted, and Kyran's hands were bigger than Cas's, but they still fit together perfectly, in a way Kyran himself couldn't describe. He looked at them a while before he turned his gaze to Casper's, giving him a warm smile, one he never gave. Usually, it was the shy one, or the genuine one, or the fake red carpet one. This one was different. It was sweet and kind, it put crows feet at the edges of his eyes, but not as deep as his genuine grin. It had the embarrassment of a shy smile, the crows feet of a happy one, and the brightness of his red carpet grin. It was something else. He was looking at the only person he's ever loved, like genuinely loved. The only other person he's ever kissed. He was perfect. His first and he'd hit a home run. Hearing about Casper's bad experiences with relationships made his blood boil. He would treat this boy right. Not only did he want to, he had to. He deserved it.

He gave a gentle squeeze at the fingers between his own. This felt right.He brought his free hand up to the side of Kyrans face. He let his thumb graze upon his cheek as he smiled. It was probably the most beautiful thing hes ever seen. It felt nice that he could even touch him like this without needing to worry anymore. Everything was going into place. He brought his hand up to his dark hair, letting his fingers get tangled in the soft threads. He could get lost in Kyrans smile alone. he wanted to gaze at it for the rest of his life. Looking at his swollen lips he blushed slightly, he was the one that did that to him. Even if it wasnt said out loud, Kyran had him hooked. He was his. And he was almost sure Kyran felt the same way. He was going to have to get used to this, the affection, the emotions, still coming to the fact that he was inlove with the man he was currently holding. He hadnt been in the dating world since highschool. Every relationship he had ever been in had been a bust, and Casper getting hurt in the end. Since then he closed himself off, being the shy stuttering kid he was today. Carmen was protective of him, he couldnt blame her really. It had taken so long to improve himself. But Kyran was different. He wasnt some bust that wouldnt work out in a week or so. He wasnt some nameless person that hurt him. He made him feel special. Like he was on cloud nine and was the most special person in the world. He didnt know what to say. What could you say after that? This was probably the most wonderful night of his life. There was nothing he could say that would top it. So instead, he gave a sheepish smile and gazed at him,"Im really into you."

Kyran couldn't help it. It was just so funny to him. He managed to stifle a giggle, but then he snorted and started giggling even more, bursting into all out laughter that had him gasping for air as he continued to try and stop himself. Really, they just had possibly the most intense, passionate kiss with one another just a minute ago, they couldn't say anything, and that's the first thing Casper says to him? He couldn't stop, he was laughing so hard he kept snorting, which made him laugh even more, turning into a never-ending cycle of a fit of giggles that he was trying so hard to stop. It was just hysterical to him. He managed to catch his breath, tears threatening to fall from his eyes, and his chest hurt from laughing so hard for so long. He brought a hand to Casper's face, not hesitating this time, placing a quick peck on the side of his mouth before he trapped him in a hug. Kyran was still laughing, a little less hard now though. After a long moment of Kyran trying to get a grip of himself, finally succeeding after more than a couple tries.

He took a breath, relaxing against Casper, "Me gustas mucho tambien," He sighed, still letting out a few snickers. It was just so funny to him.

Asoon as the words came out of his mouth he realized how dumb they sounded. Not in a mean way, but a funny way. A man with multiple college degree, who had just made out with the love of his life for the first time, count put together a better and romantic sentence? He couldnt help but giggle, laugh and snort along with Kyran. He hadnt genuinely laughed in so long, it felt good. Even when he would catch his breath he could feel himself giggling again at himself. He was a real charmer sometimes. He wrapped his arms around the boys neck in a hug, closing his eyes and giving a few breathy laughs. "Thats good, or this would be really awkward." he chuckled, running his hands through Kyrans hair. He returned the gesture by leaning up and pressing a kiss to Kyrans forehead (with help of having to get up on his tippy toes of course.). Even if they had just had the most wonderful and intense moments, he was glad they could still giggle till their left breathless.

A few years ago, if you asked Kyran what love was, he would laugh in your face and say a stupid answer. If you asked him the same question now, he would stop, think, then start giggling uncontrollably. He would say it's coffee shops and cliffsides. He would say it's awkward tension and a fluffy white dog. He would say the sunset and totally not platonic hand holding. He would say dark freckles on pale skin and a stuttering voice thick with an Australian accent. He would say awkward bedsharing and a kiss where your teeth clicked with the other person's and made you dizzy. He would say all of that and more. Because that's what his love with Casper is made of. It's made of anxiety and fear and awkward moments, but it's also made of happiness and passion and giggles with snorts mixed in them. It's measuring the cliff side and taking a running start to take the plunge. It's anticipation and bad history and thick accents. It's his sort of love. It's his perfection. It's Casper.

For a long time, Kyran stood there with Casper, in his arms. He liked it. He was so in love, he'd fallen so far. He took the plunge and it was worth it. He was so scared, but now it was worth it. He pulled away a moment, just to look down at Casper with the stupidest, cheesiest grin to ever grace his face. He couldn't help it. Kyran was what you'd call something of a hopeless romantic. He crouched a moment to pick Cas up with a huff, taking a few steps back, gently buckling his knees and falling backwards onto the couch with another helpless giggle, pushing himself up so that all of him was laying on the couch. He yawned. He was still wearing his day clothes and he needed a shower but he was tired. He felt like he'd run a marathon. He ran a hand softly through Casper's dark curls, placing a kiss on his head and laying his head back on the couch. Everything was okay.

It felt nice to be in his arm.He felt warm all over and could stay like this forever. He didnt think about work or how late it was and the drive home, all he thought about was Kyran. His eyes widen when being lifted, sputtering,"Wait what are you-" and then landing on the couch, perfectly ontop of Kyran. His face flushed red for the millionth time. He giggled along with him, giving a smile that showed all of his teeth. He rested his arms on either side of Kyrans head which was holding him up. Now he really felt warm, flustered even. He closed his eyes at the feeling of hands being run through his hair. Casper had been so scared of love after Highschool. he thought it didnt exist. Especially after his parents divorced he was always sketchy. He felt he was always on guard, pushing people away when he felt remote attraction to them because he was scared of the risk of losing them. To risk loving again. But with Kyran; he had no guard. He had nothing holding him back, it had been so long he forgot how good it felt. He didnt have the need to push him away, he didnt want to anyway. He needed him. They needed eachother. It was so unfamiliar to receive little kisses and touches like this. So to make up for the time he had lost, he leaned forward and pressed a kiss to his forehead,"Youre such a dork,"he pressed another kiss to his temple where his eyes squinted and his crows feet would show,"but I like you anyway," he pressed another kiss to the side of his mouth, "you and your cute laughs and snorts." He was close to his lips again. Her felt nervous. But it washed away when he realized this was Kyran, you know, the guy he made out with moments before. he chuckled internally at the thought. His face grew more sincere as he pressed a quick kiss to his lips. "And I..." he hesitated,".. love you."

Kyran snorted, he couldn't help it. It was also ridiculous to him. He'd spent so much time trying to impress the guy, so much time wondering when he'd call him, so much time stressing himself over if he liked him or not, and all he had to do was kiss the guy to find out. It was pretty hysterical and he had no idea why. It was just so complicated at first, but it was like an intricate knot, so confusing but all you have to do is pull the right end and it all comes apart. If he was honest, that's probably his favourite part about the whole thing. He knew next to nothing about the guy, but he loved him. He'd work on that. He kept brushing Casper's hair with his hand. He was giggling about all his stupid compliments until he got to the last words. Three of them. Three simple words that made Kyran's heart stop, or at least skip a beat. He couldn't help himself when his stupid big grin was plastered across his face again. That's what he had been trying to say outside, both times, but he couldn't get it out, the words simply lost to him. He chuckled, pressing a kiss to his head.

"Te amo. Yo también te amo."

He met him not that long ago, sure. But. He couldnt deny how he felt about Kyran, no matter how long they have known eachother. He loved him. And as they moved forward he would find more things to love about him. He rested his forehead against Kys and closed his eyes, sighing softly. I was late. He knew he had to go. And Kyran had a toddler in the other room, he doubt he wold allow him to spend the night. He let his fingers roam through Kyrans hair aimlessly. "I have to drive home but I dont feel like leaving." Which was true. He wish he didnt live so far away, then he wouldnt have to worry. He wanted to stay laying ontop of Kyran, holding his face in his hands and feelings Kyrans fingers in his hair as they shares soft sweet nothings and kisses until dawn. he wanted to stay in the moment and forget about everything else, like how far it would be to drive home and how he needed to sleep soon. Live in a world with just them.

Kyran hummed, sounding sort of sad. He liked it there. Just the two of them. It was nice. He didn't want Casper to leave. He didn't have to go, did he? Unless he had work, he could stay the night again. There was Fran. What would she think if she saw Casper and him sharing a bed in a probably compromising position? She'd probably clock her head and ask him if Casper was his boyfriend again. Well, Kyran couldn't really deny that. He didn't actually know what they were. He didn't care to ask. He sighed, leaning his head back with a deep sigh.

"You can stay..." He offered quietly, kind of wishing that he would. Really wishing that he would. Praying that he would. He'd never really admit it, but since he shared a bed with Casper, he couldn't sleep the same. The bed felt too big. He was cold. He'd wake up with a lonely space in his chest of not feeling Casper's arms around him or seeing his pretty freckled face in the early morning light.

Kyran hummed, sounding sort of sad. He liked it there. Just the two of them. It was nice. He didn't want Casper to leave. He didn't have to go, did he? Unless he had work, he could stay the night again. There was Fran. What would she think if she saw Casper and him sharing a bed in a probably compromising position? She'd probably clock her head and ask him if Casper was his boyfriend again. Well, Kyran couldn't really deny that. He didn't actually know what they were. He didn't care to ask. He sighed, leaning his head back with a deep sigh.

"You can stay..." He offered quietly, kind of wishing that he would. Really wishing that he would. Praying that he would. He'd never really admit it, but since he shared a bed with Casper, he couldn't sleep the same. The bed felt too big. He was cold. He'd wake up with a lonely space in his chest of not feeling Casper's arms around him or seeing his pretty freckled face in the early morning light.
He raised an eyebrow at his offer and smiled, nodding eagerly. "Id love that," he couldnt deny such a pretty face. That means he wouldnt spend his time alone in an empty house tonight. He loved his house, it was small and cozy with hanging plants from the ceiling and his loveable snake Cipher. But the bed was too big. Way to big for him anymore to the point he grew lonely. Cuddling Cipher or pillow could only do you so much until you realize what was wrong. He wasnt with Kyran. Id be so much easier if he lived here at the highrise, getting his own place or even bunking with Carmen till her figured stuff out. hed think about it later, instead focusing his attention on the lovable man under him. He leaned forward again, pressing a kiss to Kyrans nose beofre pulling away entirely, sitting up and shifting to standup to stretch. He gave a yawn, holding out a hand for Kyran to take,"Im pretty tucked out." it had been an emotional roller coaster today. And frankly, Casper just wanted to cuddle close to Ky and sleep.

Kyran huffed, sitting up and running a hand through his hair, effectively making it a mess of brown, the paste he used making it stay slicked back a bit, obviously run its course for the day. He was tired. It had been so emotional that evening. He earned a rest. He smiled, taking Casper's hand as he stood up, walking the both of them down the hall, hand in hand. Stopping at the door, he carefully turned the knob completely, inching open the door silently. Fuego was sleeping by Fran, who was pretty heavily asleep, making soft breathing noises as she slept. He turned to Casper and pressed a finger to his own lips, leading him in and silently closing the door behind him, immediately unbuttoning his shirt once the door clicked, just sliding off the dress shirt and not bothering to change out of the used undershirt. He changed from his dress pants into shorts, stifling a yawn as he dug directed Casper to the top shelf of his drawers.

'Sleeping clothes,' He mouthed, patting him on the shoulder and quietly crawling onto the checkered bed.

Looking at the drawers he nodded. He gave another small yawn, opening the drawer and looking through them. He found a large hoodie and shorts himself, slipping his own clothes off, folding them, and putting them on the dresser before slipping on Kyrans baggy ones on. He immediately felt way more comfortable in his clothes. He pulled the eye contacts case out of his pocket and took his contacts out, the dark room becoming more blurry. He slipped into the bed along side him. He was sleepy and in love, slipping into the bed and getting under the covers with a tired smile. He inched his arms around Kyrans waist again, pulling him closer as he buried his face in his neck and giving a soft hum and closing his eyes when comfortable.

There was a soft, contented sigh and Kyran put an arm around Casper, pressing a kiss to his shoulder, mumbling something unintelligible, fingers dancing lazily in the boy's hair as sleep took him. He was warm and happy and in love and everything was perfect. He could probably take off work the next day if Casper wanted to stay longer than a few moments after they woke up. He wanted to. He didn't even know if Casper was free tomorrow, he just sort of assumed that he didn't have anything to do because he wanted to stay over.

Starlight filtered through the blinds, silver cascading over the both of them. It was like the stars were blessing them kissing their skin and binding them close. Soon Kyran was holding Casper around the waist, face in his hair, lips on the nape of his neck. Although Cas was wearing his clothes, he had his own distinctive smell that, if he were awake, he'd probably describe as home. This was love. To him, along with everything else, this was love.

When he woke he felt colder. Not the warmth he had felt when he first fell asleep. No hands around his waist, no kisses to his shoulder, no one holding him. He opened his eyes, blurry without his glasses or contacts. He sat up, bed head making his hair frizzy has he groggily looked around the room. He asked himself a few questions. Right, he was at Kyrans house. He spent the night. They kissed. They cuddled and went to sleep. No work to rush to, he had nothing to do that day. He sat for a moment, eyes adjusting to the morning light. It looks like he slept in a bit, though he was very confused to why the bed was empty. Usually Casper would wake easily feeling Kyran moving or something. Maybe he was such in a rush for work he had to go? He sighed, setting up and stretching, walking slowly as he didnt have any contacts in. It wasnt to blurry, but blurry enough that he was cautious. He walked out of the room and down the hallway emitting a large yawn.

Kyran had called in early that morning, told his good second in command that he couldn't be at work, he was busy with 'other things', so he was good for sleeping in. And he had, like an hour or two. He had gotten out of bed carefully, not to wake Casper or Fran. He took a shower, dressed for a lazy day, and made himself breakfast. Pancakes and bacon. American style, but amazing. He sat at the kitchen island, a laptop open next to him, a plate of pancakes and bacon on the other side. His hair was still slightly damp, unstyled. Usually, he straightened it a bit with a wave, making it look natural, but his hair was actually extremely wavy and messy when freshly washed. It hung over his face as he scrolled through his socials, mindlessly eating the breakfast he made. Of course, he made breakfast for Casper and Fran too, sitting on the cooled stove under a cover to keep them warm.

He dressed in a fluffy white sweater that hung low around his neck, showing his collar bone and a little further, the bottom well past his waist, the sleeves hanging well over his knuckles. He wore sweatpants and fluffy socks, thick reading glasses on the bridge of his nose. He wore them sometimes, but only when he used computers or his phone, mostly when he was working.

Casper had to squint his eyes to find his camera bag in the living room, hands wondering aimlessly on the table as he found it, rummaging through it to find a new daily wear pair of contacts. He hadnt noticed Kyran yet, mainly because he couldnt see him. Once he found them he slipped them onto his eyes, the familiar apartment becoming clearer. He looked around, eyes still adjusting to the light when he saw Kyran at the kitchen island. It took him a moment to realize it was him because of his wavy hair. Walking closer his breath hitched, realizing what he was wearing. He could feel his face grow warm. He wasnt even fully awake yet and was questioning how someone could look so cute at such an early time but he didnt ask out loud. Instead coming up behind Ky and wrapping his arms around his neck as he sat in the stool scrolling through emails. He peppered soft kisses leading up from his neck to the side of his face sleepily, eyes barely open in the process. "Good morning," his voice was an octave deeper and his accent was slurred.

Humming, Kyran leant into his touch, turning and giving him a kiss on the cheek in the morning, "It's the afternoon," He corrected, his own voice raspy and raw, still tired, a little bit deeper than normal. He turned and took a bite of his pancakes, adjusting his glasses as he cleaned up his emails, trashing spam and other junk mail, keeping a few from his coworkers and some odd balls he wanted to investigate. He reached to his plate, picking it up and reaching behind him for Casper. He didn't really know if Casper even liked bacon, but at this point, he might as well just not think anymore, that really hadn't gotten him to a good place before.

When Fuego came padding into the kitchen, sniffing the air, Kyran knew Fran was awake, so he turned his attention from his computer to the doorway. Sure enough, a few seconds later, a sleepy, messy-haired little Franny came waddling into the kitchen with a yawn, stuffed sock monkey in hand. She climbed lazily into one of the kitchen stools and yawned with a pout, eyes still closed. The kid was basically asleep on her feet.

"Franny, si estás cansado, puedes volver a dormir," He offered with a light chuckle, but Fran only shook her head vigorously in response.

He woke up more with the offering of food though, taking the plate and sitting at a stool next to him, grabbing a fork and taking a few bites. He didnt know what time it was. Normally he would sleep in and not have to work early in the morning. That just meant he had late hours at times. But today he had the day off and nothing to worry about. Watching Fran come out of the bedroom he could see they were in the same boat, sleepy and their hair was a mess. He was curious that Kyran was home though,"Im guessing you called off work today?"

Kyran got up, making a plate for Fran and setting it in front of her with a fork and a glass of milk before he sat down, going back to his emails and sighing, "Oh, yeah, horrible sick day--" He brought a fist to his mouth a made a few obviously exaggerated and fake coughs, "-- You see? Just couldn't go."

He couldn't help but snicker at his own silliness. He hadn't called in sick, just said he had other plans. Besides, he was the boss, he technically didn't have to work if he didn't want to. Kyran was always making himself work though, keeping himself distracted and grounded, humble. He was a person like anyone else. He squinted at his screen, cocking his head to the side. He chuckled, almost annoyedly. He turned the computer to Casper for him to see, "Ah, the perks of being seen with Kyran Gonzalez," He sighed.

On the screen was an obnoxious pink headline, 'Does Kyran Gonzalez Have A Love Interest?' It read with a picture just beneath it of Kyran leaving Hana's shop, hand in hand with Casper. There were more, of him handing Casper the helmet, Casper putting his arms around his waist, him speeding off. There were some taken from a different angle. Really, where could these people be without him noticing? The city was relatively small, and it was a city, after all, there weren't really places to hide. Underneath it was the opening paragraph of the article.

'That's right, it seems fashion designer and male Mexican model, Kyran Gonzalez, was spotted last week holding hands with a freckled brunette cutie, even taking him for a ride on his signature motor cycle. Could this baby-faced angel be Gonzalez's new sweetheart? It sure seems like it. "Yeah, I saw him, I took the first picture. He was so blatantly flirting with the guy, he has to be Gonzalez's new bae, there's not a doubt in my mind," Says photographer, Emily Kinder. Could this really be it? The boy we've all been thinking he was hiding from us? More pictures and eye witness accounts on our Twitter and Instagram. Read below for our own research on who this mystery cutie might be!'

He rolled his eyes, sleepily shoving a piece of bacon in his mouth. "Totally. So sick, guess I'll have to take care of you all day." he joked along with him. His eyes kept wandering the computer screen, viewing usless articles until his eyes kept sight of one.Oh Wow. The pictures made his cheeks flush a bit as he looked at the photos. He shouldve known something like this would have happened getting himself involved with probably the hottest guy in town, but Casper didnt mind. Usually people would question and get angry for photos being taken but Casper simply didnt care. He gave a small chuckle and took a bit of his food when reading the article. He answered yes mentally. Yes Kyran, the famous Hispanic model had a love interest. And his name was Casper Lee, a simple biologist who still doesnt know how he got him either. "You know before knowing you I had no idea who you were, despite your face basically being the face of this town," he chuckled. Casper was cooped up in a lab all day. He wasnt known by the public but he was known by the science community quiet a bit. He wasnt that much of a social media user. So because of that he never knew who Kyran was. Had never seen his face before in his life. Maybe that was a good thing, the only side of Kyran he got to see was the real one, the genuine one. The one where they got to kiss and giggle at eachother until their breathless late at night. "Theyre gonna have fun at work with this article." he didnt mind if people saw it. he didnt mind if people thought him and Kyran were dating. He didnt mind if people thought they had feelings for eachother. Because it was all true.

Heaving a sigh, Kyran rolled his eyes, turning the laptop back to him and closing the article, "As true as some of it is, I rarely like having every bit of my life documented. Really, they make an article about every human being I'm seen with. They probably think Fran is my daughter. They thought Chichima was my girlfriend when we first started hanging out, can you believe that?" Kyran couldn't help it. He really hated having his whole life written down by people who made assumptions and didn't know. He deleted a few more emails and shut the laptop with an exhausted huff. Really, Kyran would have preferred a quiet life in the Villas being a nobody that ran a pretty decent sandwich truck, than have his life plastered everywhere on the internet with assumptions and rumours, among other things he wasn't extremely proud of. He enjoyed the money he made and the people he got to meet and everything else, but everyone was so intent on trying to dig some deep dark secret up on you to ruin your image you may as well never step outside.

Fran finished her breakfast easy, chugging the last of her milk and running to the sink to rinse everything off before sticking them in the newly empty dishwasher, running off to the living room in a fit of giggles with Fuego on her heels. She picked up the TV remote and flicked it on, scanning through the channels until she found one that she liked. A parrot documentary. For all Ky knew, she was watching it for the pretty colours.

Sliding his computer away and taking off his thick wire glasses, Kyran finished what was left of his breakfast, taking down the rest of his water and getting up to rinse the plates.

Casper didnt know what that was like. He didnt get the attention from the press Kyran had. He couldnt imagine it either, having your whole life on a camera for people to see. He felt bad for him, he could get wanting some space. Watching him get up he sighed. He got up after him, slinking his arms around Kyrans waist and having to get up on his tippy toes to rest his head in the boys neck. "I know it sucks,"he replied quietly. He couldnt give the best comfort though. He didnt know what it was like being in the spot light was like."but theres some things theyll never get to see no matter how much they try." No matter how many headlines came up, no matter how many pictures were taken, they wouldnt get to see this. They woukdnt get to see Kyran with freshly showered wavy hair or his nerdy reading glasses, or how when he gave a genuine smile itd show his teeth along with crows feet. Or how nicely Kyran held him at night. No body could capture that no matter how much they tried.

He couldn't help but smile. That was true. They'd never get to see the way Kyran had kissed him last night or the way he wrapped his arms around him, or the words he whispered to him. They would never be able to capture or recreate those. That made him happy. He didn't bother to put the plates in the dishwasher, instead leaving them on the other side of the sink. He turned around so Casper's face was to his chest, draping his arms around the other's shoulders, as he had his around his waist. He put a palm on Casper's cheek, it felt like it was meant to be there. Curved and shaped just for him. Casper was sweet. He knew what to say, or at least he tried. It was sweet of him. The two of them so different, yet fit together like pieces of different puzzles. They definitely didn't look like they went together, but some how they clicked without a hitch. Well, a few hitches, but nonetheless they fit, and that made Kyran smile. He pressed a quick kiss to the corner of Casper's mouth, his small smile playing on his lips. He couldn't get it to budge. Whenever Casper was around he couldn't help it, just thinking about the guy got him grinning from ear to ear.

He put a palm on Casper's cheek, it felt like it was meant to be there. Curved and shaped just for him. Casper was sweet. He knew what to say, or at least he tried. It was sweet of him. The two of them so different, yet fit together like pieces of different puzzles. They definitely didn't look like they went together, but some how they clicked without a hitch. Well, a few hitches, but nonetheless they fit, and that made Kyran smile. He pressed a quick kiss to the corner of Casper's mouth, his small smile playing on his lips. He couldn't get it to budge. Whenever Casper was around he couldn't help it, just thinking about the guy got him grinning from ear to ear.
Before yesterday night Casper had been nervous to even hold the guys hand for to long without thinking about if Kyran felt the same. He had been so scared to let himself go, to fall for someone, and now here he was holding the guy he adored. It was so easy with him to be affectionate, Casper couldnt help but get touchy and lovey dovey and it seemed that Kyran didnt mind. Even if not said out loud he knew he was his, he guessed the headlines were right. He was inlove with a lovable Mexican model. There would be headlines and rumors but he didnt care. He held him tighter, closer, face flushing slightly when he suddenly remembered what he was wearing. Oh right. The over sized sweater that basically consumed him. It was cute. He was cute. He returned the affection with a quick kiss to the mouth. It was more like he pressed his lips against his rather then a kiss, mainly because he couldnt stop smiling. God he loved his smile. He rested his chin on his chest as he looked up to him, drunkly happy. "Do you have any plans today?"

Kyran hummed, spinning the two of them around as he scrunched his face in pretend thought a moment before he spoke, "Oh, you know, what a sick person does. Rest, sleep, eat. Lazy day?" He said, cocking a brow and half sliding across the kitchen as he parted from Casper, ending up on the counter. Fran was so absorbed into the television and petting Fuego she didn't notice the two of them any more than she noticed the fact she was petting a pillow and Fuego was sleeping by the glass door. It just seemed so domestic it made Kyran giggle. He leant back against the counter, sliding his socks on the floor mindlessly as he grinned and stared at Casper. He was just happy. He didn't want to do anything that day, really. Sleep, watch TV, eat bad food, maybe day drink a bottle of wine. Who knew, the day was still young, sort of.

It seems like he had read his mind. He nodded, curls flopping against his head,"I think we could both use a lazy day." they both had busy work hours and right now everything was quiet. They both had the day off, no tension, no work, no phone calls to tend to, nothing. It felt weird having nothing to do, he hadnt had a lazy day in so long. Relaxation. It felt nice, the soft hum of the tv with Fran watching it, the nice gaze Kyran set on him in which he returned. There was honestly nothing to do today. He was sure Carmen was sleeping or hanging out with Chi. She really seemed to like her. Perhaps later he could cook for Kyran like he wanted to,only to his Hispanic standards of course. "Which comes first, the cuddling for the cheesy movies?"

Thinking for a moment, Kyran shrugged, "Why not both?" He had probably literally every Disney and Pixar movie you could remember, along with a few classics he likes, and, admittedly, a couple soap operas and romcoms he hadn't touched since he lived with his abuela in the Villas. Okay, maybe a few years earlier, but they would need dusting off if he ever pulled them off the shelves. Before he started his company, he'd been a pretty big fan of movies, mostly animated ones. He was an addict. He hadn't given himself the time to enjoy it. Plus, maybe Fran would like them. It was his childhood, he'd love to pass it on.

He turned with a wink, wandering into the living room and opening the cupboard-like cabinet that rested just underneath the television in the corner. With a couple tugs, it came loose, the doors folding out, lined with CDs and VHS tapes, sorted accordingly. As they swung out, the middle came out, revealing a DVD and VHS player, along with several other movies, still neat and sorted like the others. They looked like they hadn't been touched in years. He stepped aside and took a bow, "Your pick, señor," He said simply with a grin, folding his arms behind his back. He wouldn't lie, he was proud of his collection, even if he hadn't even opened the cabinet for several years since he'd lived in the high rise.

Walking and seeing the large Disney collection he felt like he was a kid again. Eyes lighting up as he saw all of the disks and VHS tapes, he was always a nerd for those. he thought for a moment before smiling,"Lady and the Tramp." he sat on the couch next to Fran. He loved Disney movies, espeacially the animated animals ones. Carmen always liked them too, often having weekend marathons of movies till they couldnt keep their eyes open.

Humming Kyran nodded, turning to the case and skimming his fingers over the CDs until they came to a soft blue case. He slid the case from the cardboard box it came it and popped it open, producing a decorated CD with two signature dogs on it. He turned on the old DVD player, popping in the CD and closing it. The TV stopped its parrot documentary, pausing for a couple of seconds before it switched to a blue screen with a CD icon on it. The icon span for a moment before it broke away and started the introduction for Disney that it always played at the beginning of their movies. He left the case open, grabbing a small remote from the top of it. Kyran wasn't worried about Fran understanding the movie, she barely understood Spanish and that was her first language. Really, she'd probably only watch for the animated style of it and the dogs. He sat down between Casper and Fran, right on the corner of his L-shaped couch. Fran giggled and leant into her uncle, eyes still glued to the glowing screen. Kyran put an arm around her small shoulders, pressing a kiss to the top of her head, putting his other arm around the back of the couch.

Pointing to the screen, which now showed the main menu of the movie, he scrolled to the 'Play' button and hit it, the Disney intro starting again, but in a different style this time. He yawned, rubbing an eye. Kyran liked this, his lazy days at least. He'd have another free day the next day, then would likely have to bring Fran to work, or drop her off at a daycare if she'd let him. He gave Cas a side-eye and another one of his soft smiles before turning his full attention to the movie.

Casper smiled back and swung his legs over to rest in Kyrans lap, and leaning the rest of him into Kyrans side. This felt nice, honestly. He couldnt remember the last time he had taken a day off where he didnt even do work at home. He couldnt think of the last time he had a lazy day. He was known to work until he passed out at his lab or desk at home and sleeping more then he would in his bed. He was a busy guy, but now adays he tried to take it easy. Workers were shocked he even took a day off today. He was always known for his all nighters at work, working till he couldnt keep his eyes opened. And now here he was, hair frizzy from bed head and he hadnt even changed into actual clothes, snugged into Kyrans side. It was a major change, but he liked it.

Almost on autopilot, Kyran found himself tucking his arm around Casper. It didn't feel odd or awkward or unnatural, not even mildly uncomfortable. It felt good. It felt right. It was nice. He didn't notice himself leaning to cuddle Casper more as the movie started. Although she was against it earlier, as the movie played, Fran started dozing off in Kyran's arm, struggling to keep her eyes open.

He leaned his head on his shoulder, eyes lidded and gazing at the movie that was on the screen. He felt warm again, the same warmness he felt when he went to bed last night. He watched the little dogs in the screen,so unlike eachother yet they fell inlove. It reminded him of himself. He moved his arm to rest of Kyrans, fingers drawing circles into the soft fabric of the sweater. He woke up probably a few hours ago, it was mid afternoon and he felt tired. Maybe it was because he over worked himself constantly or that Kyrans shoulder was really comfortable. He gave a small yawn and closed his eyes.

Kyran wasn't really paying attention to the movie, just the warmth of Casper on his side. He looked at the screen with a blank stare, fingers dragging gently through the boy's dark hair. Absentmindedly, Ky laid his head on top of Casper's, a low hum in his throat. With them in such a position and Fran tucked up against his side, it was so oddly domestic. He didn't know if he liked it, it was such an odd feeling, just having the two of them there. Maybe... Maybe he would like kids. Just one or two, to take care of. Kyran was so good with kids, he didn't understand himself why he'd never wanted any. Perhaps it was the stress of having to find a partner he had to agree with or maybe it was just the fear of having to make time for everyone while also still living his fast lifestyle. His life was not built for two, much less three or four, but perhaps he could rebuild it, this time with Casper in mind. He pressed a kiss to the top of Casper's head, closing his eyes for a long time, breathing all of him in before he opened them again, leaning his head back against the couch, copper eyes scanning the scene playing on the TV. He felt eyes on him. He looked down to see big brown eyes staring at him in wonder.

"¿Qué?" He frowned, tilting his head to the side.

Slowly, Fran pointed to Casper with a grin, voice soft but giddy, "Tío Casper," She whispered with a snort.

Kyran only sighed and ruffled her hair as he rolled his eyes. Kids, right? It actually scared him that, if all this did work out, Casper would be his nephews' and nieces' tío. Just a little bit. Mostly, it made him giddy.

Casper felt content. He wasnt fully asleep, hed call it just 'resting his eyes'. He felt the soft hands play with his hair. Casper had never felt more safe in someones arms. It seemed perfect, cuddling while watching a movie. He didnt even mind that Fran was there, he liked the kid alot. He could only open his eyes slightly at the mention of Uncle Casper. It made his heart melt honestly, even if it was just a kid it was a small step to being accepted in the family. He leaned his head up slightly, closing his eyes in contentment and peppering kisses against Kyrans neck, slow and lazily like he could do it all day. The onyl thing that made him stop was the buzz of his phone on the table. He ignored it for a moment before sighing, pulling away and grabbing his phone. He opened it and smiled for a second, he still had the photo of him and Kyrans picture together at the waterfall as the lockscreen. He unlocked it and opened his messages. He gave soft groan. Of course inspectors were going to be coming to eh lab bright and early tomorrow and Casper had to be in charge of the preparation. He set his phone down again before burring his head in Kyrans neck again and closing his eyes. "I wish I didnt have to work at times and I could stay like this." he knew he had to go, it sucked. But he knew if he didnt hed possibly be fired, or worse.

A small chuckle left him as Casper left soft kisses on his face and neck. Again with the domesticity. Kyran sighed, he didn't want this to end. He liked it like this. He frowned when Casper said he had to work. Right. His job. And his house. That was two hours away. It made Ky pout. He liked it here, just him and Casper, and Fran if you wanted to count her. It was so nice. He sighed, leaning into Cas again, letting his dark curls caress his face as he pressed a kiss to the other's head again, rubbing his arm in a comforting way as he hummed in understanding.

"Ah, it's okay," He murmured gently, the movie now completely forgotten, "You're always welcome here, Cas," He purred, running his fingers thoroughly through the deep brown mass of waves that was Casper's head of hair. Despite the reassuring message, Kyran himself didn't want to have to watch Casper leave.
