CHAPTER
11
Niko
felt like walking on
cloud nine. It was
Friday, a school day, and Kamil was finally his boyfriend! He grinned
to
himself knowing he was behaving like a silly teenage school girl, but
who
cared? He was happy and nothing could possibly ruin his mood! He and
Kamil both
had the weekend off and through his school day he fantasized of all the
things
they could do together and a lot of it involved not leaving the bed.
His
friends at school
noticed his cheerfulness
– well, it was perhaps difficult not to notice - and they
inquired him about
Kamil. Carol invited them both to a party at her house and Niko, though
keen to
go, wasn’t sure if Kamil would be equally so. He promised
they
would however
think about it.
So
the day had started well
for him but as the
afternoon closed it started to go slightly downhill. Matt seemed to be
lurking
around; he was staring at him often and smiling when their eyes met
which Niko
did find quite disturbing. ‘Does he really not understand
when to
quit?’ he
wondered, getting anxious to get home to his Kamil and forget about
everything
else.
When
he was walking home
from school, Niko
soon noticed that Matt and one of his friends were trailing after him
which
made him feel nervous. Would they try something when he had to walk
quieter
streets with fewer peoples? The two didn’t say anything to
him,
but Niko heard
them snickering and chatting quietly together. Niko could feel their
eyes on
his back, he glanced back at them and Matt smirked. Niko hurried his
steps,
glanced behind his shoulder again and that was when he bumped straight
into
someone. Niko looked up in surprise, about to apologize but was
bewildered when
he realized he was looking straight into Roni’s smiling face.
“Hey
there, why such
a rush?” the blond asked
resting his hands on the younger man’s shoulders. Niko
shifted
uncomfortably
and again glanced behind him. Matt and his friends had stopped a few
meters
away and were eyeing them both carefully. Matt lit a cigarette,
muttered
something to his friend and they both turned to leave. “Niko,
who
were these
guys?” Roni asked with a frown looking towards their
retreating
backs.
Shrugging his shoulders Niko
stepped back
from him.
“Just
some
jerks,” he said looking up at the
tall blond a little bit annoyed.
“They
were following
you; did they give you
trouble?”
“You
are following
me, too” Niko pointed out.
“Didn’t I tell you to go home?” he asked
and
continued walking, Roni hurried
after him.
“Well
good thing I
didn’t because those two
were up to no good. Where do you know them from?”
“Look,
I can take
care of myself, I do not
need you. Matt is just an asshole and my one time drunken
mistake.” Niko glared
at Roni while walking. “Kamil and I, we are a couple now and
that
won’t change.”
Roni
studied Niko
carefully. “Okay,” he
sighed. “I just needed to see you and clear things out. I
still
hope you would
come home. I wish I could have another chance. I-“ Niko
glared at
him coldly
and was about to say something. “I want you to be happy,
Niko,” Roni hurried to
add and saw his ex frowning, giving him a doubtful look. “If
he
makes you
happy, then good. I want us to be friends though and I would like to
apologize to
Kamil for my behavior.”
“You
know, it’s
just really difficult to
believe in your sincerity, Roni.”
“I
know and I
don’t blame you. But, I do mean
it, so can’t we be friends?” Roni asked in a
hopeful tone.
Niko
was quiet for a moment
and shrugged. “I
doubt we ever become the bests of friends.”
“Fine,
I take what I
can get.” Roni grinned
and then touched the other’s arm to stop him, standing face
to
face to Niko.
“For what it’s worth I am sorry, I do care for you.
Forgive
me, please?”
Niko
looked around and
sighed. “I forgive you,
the other part I consider.” He said and brought his gaze up
to
Roni’s blue
eyes.
“When are you
leaving
home?”
“I
will stay another
week or so. I have my
camera and the scenery is gorgeous here.” He smiled. Niko
frowned
not really
liking the idea of Roni staying longer than what was necessary because
he still
didn’t trust him to not try and spoil his relationship with
Kamil.
“Well,
as long as you
don’t try to bug me or
Kamil,” Niko muttered, continued to walk and Roni followed
him.
“I
won’t, but I
would like to take you two out
for dinner, as an apology like I said.”
“I
doubt Kamil
agrees,” Niko said, already
having a mental image of the disaster that the dinner would inevitably
be.
“Won’t
harm to
ask, right? Please, it would
mean a great deal to me. I don’t want to leave with us being
on
bad terms.”
Niko
sighed at this.
“Fine, I ask him, but I
won’t promise anything.”
“Thank
you
Niko.” Roni smiled before his
expression took a serious turn. “And about those guys, I want
you
to be careful
and I want you to be honest. Have they followed or given you trouble
before?”
“I
don’t need
your concern. It’s fine,” Niko
replied edgily.
“Is
it?” Roni
doubted. “Does Kamil know?”
“Yes.”
Again
Niko sighed. “Look, I am a grown
up and I can take care of myself without you or anyone coming to my
rescue.”
“Even
grown ups need
help at times, Niko,”
Roni said and followed him. “I don’t want you hurt,
I care
about you…” Niko was
about to open his mouth to speak. “I know you are with Kamil!
Ok,
I lost, but
it doesn’t mean that I can stop feeling the way I do for
you.”
“It
just seems funny
that you would change so
suddenly, after being so damn persistent.”
“Well,
it was before
Kamil proved that he have
some balls.”
Roni grinned. “Oh
I was
pissed off trust me but after calming down… Well, I want you
to
be happy, you
deserve that.”
“I
am happy,”
Niko said and glanced at him.
“Are you going to follow me all the way home?” he
asked
with somewhat annoyed
voice.
“I
want us to be
friends like I said and can’t
a friend accompany the other home?”
“I
won’t invite
you in, Roni. Kamil doesn’t
like you and I can’t blame him.”
“Just
talk to him,
okay? Tell him I’m sorry
for the trouble I gave you two.”
“I
already said I
will, but how he’ll take it
I can’t tell so better don’t expect
anything.” Niko
sighed and finally the
building came to view. “Okay, I will go now,” he
said and
stopped, feeling
slightly uncomfortable looking at his ex.
Roni
nodded. “Okay,
I’ll call you.”
“Don’t,
not
tonight, I just… I don’t want to
deal with this now; I’ll text you later, or
something.”
Niko shrugged.
Roni
sighed.
“Okay,” he said and reached to
touch Niko’s face, caressing his cheek gently which made the
smaller man back
off.
“Don’t
touch
me,” Niko frowned. “Isn’t this
really just another game of yours?”
“Game?
No, I
just… like I said I care for you
and…”
“Whatever,
just keep
your hands off,” Niko
said and turned to leave, hurrying to the door.
“Niko,
I am
sorry!” Roni called behind him and
at the door the young man turned to gaze at him briefly before getting
inside
without another word.
**^^**^^**^^**
Niko
sat in front of the
kitchen table with
his usual yet weird treat of cucumbers and mustard. When he heard the
front
door opening and closing he got up smiling and was only barely able to
stop
himself from running to the hall. “Kamil!” He
grinned and
enthusiastically
threw himself in the other’s arms, kissing his cheeks and
lips
which made the
taller man chuckle. “I missed you…” Niko
murmured.
Kamil
smiled and hugged
him. “This is a
pleasant welcoming,” he whispered, gently kissing the
other’s forehead. “What
do I owe it for?”
“Just
for being you,
my boyfriend.” Niko
grinned knowing how cheesy it sounded but he didn’t care, he
was
happy.
“Alright,
good
reason!” Kamil smiled and moved
his hand in Niko’s soft hair. “Have you eaten
yet?”
“Just
some cucumbers
and mustard,” Niko
replied.
“Ok,
lets go prepare
something more… filling.”
Kamil nodded, turned Niko around, his back against his chest and gently
pushed
the smaller man towards the kitchen which made the Finn snicker.
“How
was your day,
Kamil?”
“It
was ok, long,
missed you,” he answered,
kissed Niko’s neck and let go of him to move to the fridge.
“How was yours?” he
asked glancing at his lover with a soft smile.
“It
was…okay…” There was a small hesitation
in
his voice that made Kamil frown, yet soon enough the hesitation was
covered by
Niko’s bright smile. “I talked to my mom today and
told her
about you. I told
her about Roni as well and she was so pleased that you threw him out,
because
she doesn’t like him much. She said he always was a bit slimy
and
now she already
likes you.” Niko grinned and sat down. “She said
that we
should visit at summer
together. It would be fun, I could take you to the sauna and fishing,
have you
ever been fishing before Kamil? Or sauna?” Niko was talking
so
fast that Kamil
had to chuckle.
“Fishing
yes, sauna
no.”
“Oh
then you have to
come with me.” Niko
nodded eagerly.
“So
your mom…
she really wouldn’t mind?” Kamil
raised his brow while fixing up a quick dinner.
“Nope,
like I said,
she invited you.” Niko
smiled.
“And
your step dad,
wouldn’t he mind?”
Niko
chuckled at this.
“No. Look, they know I
am gay and they want to meet my new boyfriend, earlier than summer if
possible.”
Kamil
nodded, looking back
at his cooking. “It
might be nice, if I can safe some money…”
“Staying
and food
would be free, so the
expenses aren’t that bad.” Niko smiled at him.
“I
know it’s still early to
plan, we have time. But I am really curious of how you would react to
sauna.”
Niko snickered. Kamil glanced at him again and smiled.
“Imagine,
you and I,
naked, it’s hot and moist and…” Niko
wriggled his
brows and then chuckled. “But
well sex in a hot sauna is really not the best idea, but foreplay
maybe… Hm, I
am blabbering again.”
“I
like when you
blabber,” Kamil said and
served the omelet he had prepared on two plates before he sat down
opposite
from his lover.
“Good.”
Niko
grinned. “We’d be in trouble if
you didn’t.”
Kamil
took a first bite
looking at Niko,
thinking to himself how cute he was, cute, sexy and funny
and…
he made him feel
warm inside. “So, speaking of Roni – he is gone,
right?” he asked carefully. Niko
looked down at his plate, nervously
moving his fork around chewing his lip and Kamil couldn’t
help
but to groan.
“Oh don’t tell me, he’s still
here?”
“I
ran into him
today, yes,” Niko confessed,
hesitating over whether or not he should tell Kamil about Matt. He
didn’t want
to worry Kamil, though with what had happened in the last few weeks it
seemed
he was constantly causing drama and it seemed he had this air of
causing worry
and trouble. “He said he’s sorry and that he would
like to
take us to dinner
to… make up.”
At
this Kamil had to roll
his eyes tiredly. “So
now he is sorry?” Kamil asked. “I can’t
help to think
that it’s just another excuse
to get close to you, some trick… I just don’t like
him and
I don’t trust him.”
Niko
reached to touch
Kamil’s hand and smiled
reassuringly. “I won’t try to convince you
otherwise, not
after everything. We
don’t have to accept his invite.”
“Good.”
Kamil
sighed. “Because I really don’t
want to go.”
“Then
I will tell him
so.” Niko nodded and
Kamil tilted his head looking at him.
“I
rather would tell
him myself,” he said
then. “I’m not going to… forbid you from
seeing him
or anything like that, but
if I am honest, I’d prefer if you
didn’t.” Kamil
glanced at Niko, pushing his
fork around on the plate. No, he didn’t want to sound like
the
controlling
boyfriend and now he was afraid that he did. “I mean like I
said
I won’t forbid
it…”
“But,”
Niko
smiled, “I understand, Kamil.” He
got up. “Even today I… he was …waiting
for me, so I
really had no choice but to
talk with him. He also said he’s going to stay for at least a
week to
photograph, I can’t tell him not to.”
“I
suppose…” Kamil sighed. “Give me his
number?”
he asked then, while Niko was gathering the dishes.
“I’ll
call him tomorrow to
deny the dinner invite,” he added.
“Okay.”
Niko
nodded. “But it can wait till
tomorrow, right? Go have a hot shower, I already had mine.
I’ll
do the dishes
and then we can relax. Perhaps watch a movie?”
“Sounds
good,”
Kamil agreed, got up and kissed
his cheek. “Thanks.”
“You’ll
cook
and I’ll clean, it’s a fair
trade, right?” Niko grinned.
“Right.”
Kamil
smiled, brushed his hand over
Niko’s butt before walking to the bathroom. The brunet closed
the
door behind
him and started undressing. He smiled to himself realizing how much
better it
felt now when knowing where they stood with each other, knowing that
they were
a couple. Though the fact that Roni still planned to stay in the
country irked
him he was also pleased that Niko wasn’t keen on seeing the
jerk,
that he
agreed to not meet him and that the guy couldn’t stay forever
after all. So perhaps
he’d soon realize that there was no chance, no matter what
card
he would try to
pull on Niko.
After
finishing the shower
Kamil wrapped the
towel around his waist and headed towards the kitchen where he heard
Niko’s
humming.
“When
the moon hits
your eye like a big pizza
pie that’s amore… ling ringa linga
ling…amore…” The Finn sang and Kamil
was
barely able not to laugh. “Hey Kamil, how does that song go,
is
it hit the sky
or hit your eye?” Niko asked hearing the steps from behind
him,
still washing
the dishes.
“Hm…
I
don’t really remember,” Kamil replied
walking behind the other, wrapping his arms around him, sniffing his
hair and
neck. It was intoxicating and he wasn’t sure what was it in
the
other that made
him so… sex crazed?
“Uh
oh, there’s
a half naked man pressed
against me…” Niko chuckled, but moaned soon after
when
Kamil kissed his neck
and moved his hand to his groin.
“Yeah,
there
is… What should we do about it?”
Kamil asked huskily, his cheeks getting hot as he started rubbing
Niko’s front.
Niko closed his eyes, shivering from want, his hands still holding the
dish
brush and the plate under the water, but slowly easing his hold. He
licked his
lips when feeling his boyfriend’s hardness press against him
from
behind.
“Hm…
We
should…” Niko started to answer but
moaned soon after.
“How
are you feeling,
Niko?” Kamil asked
softly while running his hands over Niko’s flat stomach, down
to
his hips and
back up.
“Hm…
feels
good…” Niko breathed with his eyes
closed.
“How
about
here?” Kamil asked feeling faint
blush cover his cheeks as he brought his hand on Niko’s butt
gently rubbing it
Niko
opened his eyes and grinned when looking back at Kamil.
“Feels
like I would
want you to take me again,” he whispered and leaned around to
kiss him.
Kamil
smiled into the
gentle kiss and brought
his hand on Niko’s cheek, caressing the soft skin.
“Perhaps
then we should help
you out of these clothes?” Kamil offered after the kiss,
nuzzling
Niko’s neck
and carefully reaching for Niko’s belt.
“Yeah…
That is
a good idea…” Niko nodded with
his eyes closed, slowly letting go of the dish brush and the plate. He
heard
the metallic sound of his belt opening and zipper going down. Kamil
knelt as he
pulled Niko’s pants down with his underwear, helping him to
step
out of them.
Still kneeling, he carefully ran his hand on Niko’s bare
thighs
and buttocks.
Niko
glanced at him,
shivered with pleasure
when Kamil pressed his finger gently against his opening. When their
eyes met
Kamil smiled. “Do you want me to…?” Niko
started.
“No,
I want you to
just stay where you are,”
Kamil whispered caressing him gently. He kissed each buttock, slipped
his hand
between Niko’s thighs to cup his testicles, smiling when he
heard
the other moan.
Kamil stroked the skin around his opening and looked around.
“Well, actually
there’s that bottle of olive oil to your right,”
Kamil
whispered. “Perhaps you
could give me that?”
Niko
smiled and reached for
the bottle and
then gave it to his boyfriend.
“Thanks,”
Kamil
grinned.
“No
problem,”
Niko grinned back at him and
placed his hands over the counter. He soon felt Kamil’s oiled
hands on him,
caressing. First finger entered him, slow movements back and forth,
second one
followed and stretched him gently. He licked his lips, looked behind
him and
smiled, pleasure clouding his eyes.
Kamil
withdrew his fingers,
got up and allowed
the towel drop to the floor. He ran his oiled hand over his hard shaft,
kissed
Niko’s neck and slowly started to enter him. The brunet laid
his
forehead
against Niko’s head, gasped from the feeling of tightness and
heat around him.
Slow and gentle, this time he would make sure that Niko would only
experience
pleasure, no pain. He reached for the other’s erection and
began
to stroke it
as he started to move.
Niko
held on the counter,
his skin felt hot,
cheeks burning. He glanced at Kamil over his shoulder and caught his
lover’s
lips into a playful kiss that was finally broken by a moan of pleasure.
Kamil
ran his other hand on Niko’s neck slowly further up to his
chin,
his finger
tips touching the parted, moist lips which made the smaller man smile
in haze
and kiss each digit that he could reach.
“You
feel so good,
Niko…” Kamil whispered,
tenderly caressing the smaller man’s cheek with his lips,
smiling
against heated
skin.
“You
too…” Niko panted.
“Close…” He breathed
soon after which made Kamil double the efforts to pleasure him. Soon
enough
there was a gasp from Niko’s lips, his eyes closed, his
knuckles
holding onto
the edge of the counter tightly as his inner muscles clamped around
Kamil’s
organ. It didn’t take long for Kamil to follow him into the
bliss.
The
Polish student
continued to hug his lover
against his chest, adoring Niko’s smooth, warm skin with
small
kisses, feeling the
others hands settle over his arms, leaning against him and smiling when
their
eyes met. Kamil grinned back feeling pleasantly warm inside by the
intense
feeling of affection towards the Finn. “I think I’m
addicted to you now…” Kamil
whispered. “And you make me all sex crazed.”
Niko
chuckled at this.
“It is not a bad thing,
right?” He rose his brow smiling. “And I am just as
addicted… I don’t remember
ever being this happy before…”He whispered and
laid his
head against Kamil’s
shoulder for a moment, closing his eyes and enjoying the reassuring
embrace of
his lover. The words ‘I love you’ on the tip of his
tongue,
but he didn’t want
to spoil the moment by rushing the confession that the other still
might not be
ready for.
Kamil
kissed Niko’s
forehead tenderly, before
slowly pulling out of him. “I think we need another
shower.” Kamil grinned,
running his hands over Niko’s shoulders.
“Hmmm…
Yeah
and… I still should finish washing
the dishes.” Niko sighed.
“Nah,
leave them for
tomorrow, not like they
will run anywhere, right?” Kamil asked and grinned.
“Uh…
Leave the
kitchen messy?” Niko pondered.
“Kinda extreme for me, but…” It was then
that Kamil
simply picked him up from
the floor to his arms.
“Yes,
we are going to
leave them.” The brunet
nodded and started to carry the snickering Finn towards the bathroom.
“Put
me down, I am
too heavy for you!” Niko said.
“You’re
saying
I’m too weak?” Kamil asked
grinning, determined to carry the other till reaching the bathtub.
“No,
I am saying that
I’m too heavy.” Niko
smiled.
“See,
that’s
where you’re wrong,” Kamil said
simply before pushing the bathroom door open with his feet.
“Here
we are!”
After
the shower they laid
on the bed in
Kamil’s room snuggled close together, gently kissing and
caressing each other.
“We
were invited to a
party tomorrow,” Niko
whispered. “By Carol, one of my classmates.”
“Oh?”
Kamil
asked running his hand slowly on
Niko’s back. He wasn’t too keen on parties, with
people
drinking and … Well, it
just didn’t interest him much. “Do you want to
go?”
he asked then looking in
Niko’s eyes, who smiled.
“I’m
asking if
you want,” the Finn said not
drifting his gaze from Kamil.
“Not
everything has
to be what I want,” Kamil
answered, brushing his finger along Niko’s brow. “I
want to
know what you
want.”
“We
could keep this
all night trying to get
the other to say first.” Niko snickered. “But okay,
part of
me wants to and the
other part would much rather stay here the whole weekend and
just… enjoy you.”
“Hm…
With the
second option I wouldn’t
complain at all.” Kamil grinned and then touched the tip of
Niko’s nose. “But
if you want to go to the party we can.”
“Well,
let’s
see about it tomorrow. But on the
other hand there will always be other parties to go to,” Niko
said, leaning
towards spending a quiet weekend with Kamil, his boyfriend, especially
after all
the drama and stress caused by Roni. He felt that this, just being like
this
was what they both needed. Kamil smiled and leaned over to kiss him
gently,
deep down hoping for a weekend at home.
