Love In The Gray Chapter 42: Let's become lovers.
Without warning, Tristan learned in and pressed his lips softly to Aiden's, a kiss so sudden and gentle that froze Aiden in place. His body went rigid, his eyes wide in shock.Now what the hell was going?The kiss was soft at first, hesitant, as though Tristan feared Aiden might push him away. But when Aiden didn’t move, didn’t resist, Tristan deepened the kiss, his hands sliding to the back of Aiden’s neck to hold him close. Aiden’s initial shock gave way to something else, something that made his knees weak. His hands instinctively clutched the front of Tristan’s shirt, his mind a whirlwind of emotions. Anger, confusion, longing all collided in a way that left him breathless. Slowly, he shut his eyes and kissed Tristan back, though his pace was slower, hesitant. He couldn’t believe this was happening. The softness of Tristan’s lips, the faint floral scent of his breath—it felt like something he could get addicted to. When they finally pulled apart, both of them were gasping for

“Let’s become lovers,” he said, his gaze locked on Tristan’s.Tristan blinked quickly, unsure if he’d heard correctly. He thought Aiden had been mad at him earlier since Aiden had left without saying anything, and now this sudden confession? It puzzled him.His lips parted as though to speak, but no words came out.Aiden didn’t wait for him to reply. He stepped even closer, as if he wanted to enter Tristan's body, his breath warm against Tristan's face as his gaze flickered to his lips. Those lips... He could easily imagine a life spent waking up to kiss them every day.“Let’s start with this…” Aiden murmured, leaning in to capture Tristan’s lips in a kiss.The kiss began gently, as if Aiden were savoring the flavor of Tristan's lips. Tristan froze for a moment, but soon he began to surrender to it, his heart racing wildly. He thought about pulling away for a brief moment, thought about saying something, but instead, he allowed himself to fully experience the moment. Deep down, he had

Troy’s hand trailed down, gripping Eric's d*ck through his trousers. The unexpected touch drew a sharp, shuddering gasp from Eric, his body betraying him as a throaty groan escaped his lips.Troy didn’t stop the intense kiss until Eric finally pulled away, gasping for air as he tried to steady his breath; Troy's kiss had left him completely breathless. It took every ounce of willpower Eric had to break free and resist Troy’s captivating charm.To Troy’s surprise, Eric’s reaction didn’t anger him. Instead, he chuckled, his gaze never leaving Eric’s face, and a playful smile on his face.“I’m impressed you could resist me,” Troy said, his tone light and teasing.“But that doesn’t mean I’m giving up. Giving up isn’t even on my agenda. I won’t stop until you agree to date me and become mine. That’s a promise... So just sit back and watch.” Troy declared with a grin as he turned to leave the room, pausing at the door with a confident smile.“Goodnight,” he called out before finally walking

Troy’s eyes widened further as he heard the voices of Aiden, Jefferson, Colby, and Sam getting closer to the entrance.He quickly checked the time and realized it was almost game time.Panic set in. What was he supposed to do now? He had been caught red-handed, and it scared him because he hadn't intended to reveal his relationship with Eric to his friends just yet.His mind spun as he looked at Kai, then quickly shifted his gaze toward the door. His friends were about to walk in, and he had no idea how to handle this situation."What are you going to say?" Kai asked, staring in the direction of the approaching voices. Troy pulled away from Eric, who couldn't help but chuckle at Troy’s reaction."Is this really how you want to seduce me, acting like a scared little kid?" Eric teased, and Troy shot him a glare but didn't say anything.Kai suddenly turned around, leaning against the doorframe and blocking the entrance. He gave a strained smile, holding up his hand to stop the others fro

"Wait, what did you just say?" he asked, his eyes wide with surprise.Kai only shrugged, a playful grin on his face, and pointed toward the front of the room, gesturing for Aiden to focus.Tristan, meanwhile, seemed to enjoy the effect he had on Aiden. Whenever Aiden dared to glance his way, Tristan was always looking back at him, his eyes twinkling with amusement.Despite Kai’s reminder, Aiden found it almost impossible to pull his gaze away from Tristan. Each time their eyes met, a rush of warmth and excitement flooded him, making it nearly impossible to focus on anything else.By the end of the class, Aiden was exhausted from trying to pay attention. As everyone started packing up their things, Tristan walked over to him, gently grabbing his wrist and leading him toward the back of the room. Aiden, almost like a child being guided, followed Tristan until he came to a stop."Why are they acting so strange? Something about them just doesn’t sit right with me," Colby muttered, glancin

Colby looked at Aiden and Tristan, then glanced between Troy and Eric, tilting his head curiously at their quietness."Wait a second, you're all speechless. Does that really mean... are you all dating?" he asked again. This time, Tristan chuckled at Colby's sudden question. Though Colby was right, it wasn't the right time to let anyone find out."Why don't we put it this way?" Tristan began, standing straighter as he looked at Colby."Colby, think about it. Do you honestly believe it's even possible for Aiden and me to date? I mean, with our personalities? Have you forgotten who Aiden really is?" he asked, casually slipping his hands into his pockets, ignoring the glare Aiden threw his way.Colby squinted, scratching his head as if trying to figure it out."Well..." he started, narrowing his eyes like he was solving a difficult puzzle. "I mean... yeah, you do have a point." He paused, then shrugged and added, "That's why I asked. I know how much you two can't stand each other."Aiden

"Archaeology? Over food? Out of nowhere?" Colby blurted out, his voice full of disbelief.Aiden bit his lip, trying not to laugh. He liked what Tristan had just done. It was a clever way to stop the group from staying longer because he understood his friends. In class, they’d know they were in class. But at a restaurant, where they were meant to eat? Nah! There was no way they’d stay seated for long.Kai, who was quiet and observant, noticed Aiden’s reaction and smirked to himself."Why are they so good together? They're a perfect match" he said to himself, leaning back in his seat, holding back his laughter.Tristan ignored Colby as he leaned forward and began explaining the basics of archaeology with his usual calm and captivating demeanor. He made it sound so easy that each of them could understand. The group, though initially baffled, couldn’t help but pay attention as Tristan dove into a lesson that seemed oddly out of place but so natural for him—as if he were in a classroom."I

"Make me scream your name tonight," he said boldly.Tristan pulled back slightly, his brows furrowed. "Do you know what you're asking for? You're asking me to stretch you out," he replied, his tone serious.Aiden nodded, unflinching.Tristan shook his head and stepped away. "Not now," he said firmly."Why not? We're the only ones in this house," Aiden countered, moving closer, but Tristan backed away even further, creating more space between them."We're taking things too fast," Tristan said. The flash of hurt in Aiden's eyes made his chest tighten, but he knew he had to speak his mind."What do you mean, 'too fast'?" Aiden asked, his voice trembling slightly. "You don't even know what I dream about every night when I go to bed."Tristan closed his eyes and exhaled sharply before meeting Aiden's gaze again. "I really want to make love to you, to make you scream my name, but—"Before he could finish, Aiden climbed onto him, straddling his lap. Leaning down, he captured Tristan's lips i

Aiden sat at the edge of the bed while Tristan perched on the reading table, both engulfed in silence, unsure of what to say. Tristan kept glancing at his phone, waiting for a call or text from his aunt to confirm her arrival, but nothing came. They had been away from home since morning, yet there was no news. "I'm worried, Tristan," Aiden muttered, breaking the silence and catching Tristan's attention. "I am too," Tristan admitted. "But I believe it will be okay." "What if Mom is still against it?" Aiden asked, his voice tinged with unease. Tristan looked up at him, his expression firm. "If that’s the case, I’ll have no choice but to go against her," he said quietly, placing his phone down. Just then, his phone buzzed. He picked it up to see his aunt's name flashing on the screen. Quickly, he swiped to answer. "Anything?" he asked, his voice tight with anticipation. "I'm sorry," his aunt replied, her voice apologetic. Tristan exhaled deeply, and Aiden immediately knew w

Brittany stepped out of her car and walked toward them, her face a mix of confusion and disbelief. Tristan and Aiden turned abruptly, startled by her sudden appearance.“Mom,” they both called out in unison, their voices filled with nervousness.“What was that?” Brittany asked, raising an eyebrow as her piercing gaze shifted between the two of them.“Mom... I can explain. Can we go inside first?” Tristan asked cautiously, reaching for her hand, but Brittany pulled away.“I can walk on my own,” Brittany said curtly as the boys stepped aside to let her enter.“Do you think she saw us?” Aiden asked in a hushed tone.“I don’t know,” Tristan replied, his voice low. “But even if she did, I’ll have to explain. I’ve always known this day would come.”“Tristan…” Aiden said softly, his concern evident.“Don’t worry,” Tristan reassured him, offering a faint smile. “I’ll handle it. She’s my mom, after all.”The two followed her into the house, their steps heavy with apprehension.Inside, Brittany

Aiden started walking toward them, ready to confront Tristan, but his steps faltered, and he paused. Balling his fist, he turned back toward the cab."Take me back," he muttered, slipping into the cab quietly as it drove off.Meanwhile, Tristan had no idea Aiden had been there. After Lisa pulled away from the hug, she waved at him. Tristan nodded and made his way into his apartment.He took a bath, made himself something to eat, and then settled onto his bed. Grabbing his phone, he decided to call Aiden.Work had been hectic, and he hadn’t had much time to talk to Aiden lately. He felt guilty but couldn’t help it.He tapped Aiden’s name and called, but Aiden didn’t pick up."It’s barely 8 p.m. Is he already asleep?" Tristan wondered, dialing the number again, but still, no answer. He decided to send a text instead."I’m just getting home. Call me when you see this. It’s been a while since we spoke, and I miss you." Tristan sent the message, then, before he knew it, his phone slipped f

Eric finally managed to pull Jarvis away from the edge of the rooftop, breathing heavily as relief washed over him. Before he could scold Jarvis again, he found himself enveloped in a tight hug. "Eric... I still love you, honestly," Jarvis whispered, his voice trembling as he clung to Eric. For a moment, Eric stood still, his hands hovering awkwardly before he gently pushed Jarvis away. He stared at him, searching for the right words. "Look, Jarvis," Eric began, his tone calm yet firm, "it’s been four, five months since we ended things. You need to take it like that because I don’t love you. Not anymore."Jarvis opened his mouth to respond, but Eric didn’t let him. "I already have someone I’m stupidly in love with. It’s time you let go of these... feelings you still have for me, because it’s not going to work." Eric’s gaze softened slightly, but his words were unwavering. "I love my boyfriend more than anything, Jarvis. So it’s time to wake up and stop being delusional about m

Eric turned to look at Troy again, taking his hand as they walked back into his room. "Why are we going back inside?" Troy asked, curious. "To grab this." Eric lifted a jacket from the wardrobe, slipping it on before pulling out another for Troy. He helped him into it with ease. Troy smiled, inhaling the addictive scent that clung to Eric's jacket. Taking Eric's outstretched hand, they left the room together once more. "So, what plans do you have tonight?" Troy asked, breaking the silence. "I'm spending time with you," Eric replied smoothly. "Now that Dad seems okay with us dating, I’m not wasting any more time. You don’t know how hard it’s been holding myself back.” He gave a sly wink, making Troy chuckle and roll his eyes playfully.They made their way to the door, ready to leave the house, when it suddenly swung open. Lucian stepped inside, dressed in a stiff, formal suit that looked entirely out of place on him.Eric pressed his lips together, trying hard not to laugh.
Love In The Gray Chapter 78: His Irresistible Return.
When Tristan finally broke the kiss, his voice was raw with emotion. "I can’t do this anymore, Aiden... Let’s go back to how we used to be."Aiden stared at him, emotions swirling like a storm he could no longer contain. Without a word, he grabbed Tristan by the collar and kissed him again, this time with more intensity, more desperation. Minutes later, he abruptly pulled away, stepping back as his breath came in ragged gasps. His face shifted, the vulnerability vanishing as a cold, unreadable expression slipped into place. "So?" Tristan asked softly, his voice uncertain. "So?" Aiden chuckled, obviously annoyed. "Who the hell do you think you are, deciding when to leave and when to come back?" "I..." Tristan began, but his gaze dropped, and the words faltered on his tongue. "You don’t get to do this," Aiden snapped, his voice sharp and filled with hurt. "You can’t just walk away and then show up like nothing happened. You don’t get to mess with my head like this.""I was wro
Love In The Gray Chapter 77: Mine or nothing.
Every day, Aiden tried to convince himself that everything was fine—at least on the outside. But deep down, he was struggling. He knew he was lying to himself. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t stop thinking about Tristan. It was frustrating because he had done everything he could to block Tristan out. But every time he walked into their home, the urge to confront him was there—to ask him to at least reconsider, to talk about… them. Yet, Aiden always held back. He didn’t know if it was pride, fear, or just pure exhaustion, but he never acted on it. Instead, he forced himself to stay busy and resist the temptation.That evening, distraction came in the form of basketball with his friends. The court was alive with energy as they ran and competed. The cool air didn’t bother them as the game kept them warm. Troy wasn’t around; he had gone to visit Eric. Supposedly, Eric had invited him over, and Troy had agreed, which gave the others plenty of reasons to tease him nonstop."You g
Love In The Gray Chapter 76: Playing 'Stranger'
The dim lights of the bar flickered as Aiden slumped against the counter, his eyes red and swollen like he'd been crying the whole day. The air was thick with the smell of alcohol and cigarette smoke, matching the storm inside him. He exhaled shakily, the cigarette between his fingers trembling as he brought it to his lips. The bitter taste mixed with the burn of the whiskey he had been drinking for hours. His friends—Kai, Sam, Jefferson, Colby, and Troy stood nearby, watching him with worried eyes. They hadn’t seen Aiden like this in a long time.“This is bad,” Colby muttered, glancing at Jefferson. “We can’t let him keep going like this. He might die at this rate or worse, end up with lung cancer.”Before they could intervene, Aiden let out a loud laugh, his voice thick with pain. His friends froze.“Tristan’s a jerk, and I hate him,” he laughed, his words slurred and uneven. “You heard me, right? He’s a complete jerk!”He slammed his glass down on the counter, startling the bart
Love In The Gray Chapter 75: The pain of a breakup.
"We should break up, Aiden. Let's end this here."The words hit Aiden like a punch to the chest. He blinked rapidly, trying to process them. It was sudden; he wasn’t actually prepared for this. He swallowed hard as his eyes grew weak and heavy. With all his strength, he stared up at Tristan."Why?" he muttered, his voice shaky. "Is it because of the rumors? Because of the gossip? I swear I can handle it. I’ll...""It’s not just the rumors," Tristan cut in, his tone firmer now. "It’s about my mom. About your dad. What are they going to think when they find out? My mom might go crazy. This isn’t just about us anymore, Aiden. It’s bigger than that.""But…" Aiden began, his voice breaking, but Tristan stood up, the chair scraping loudly against the floor. "I don’t want to put my mom in a position where she feels embarrassed looking at me. And I don't want your dad to feel I betrayed him" Tristan said, his expression strained as he avoided Aiden’s gaze.Aiden’s heart dropped. Desperatio
