"Bienley...baby" his trembling hands attempted to reach out for Bienley, but he was terrified.He got so jelaous and lost his temper. Everything happened so quickly that he was not able to restrain himself."I am sorry," Devon's voice quivered, his palm balled firmly into a fist. He bowed his head, attempting to compose himself from the gut-wrenching guilt he was experiencing at the time.How could he make amends and make Bienley believe he will never repeat the same mistake again? How could he have allowed himself to be physically violent toward Bienley?"Baby..." despite his reluctance and fear, Devon gathered Bienley into his embrace. His guilt worsened when he felt Bienley, trembling. He tightens his arm around Bienley, but he continues to shake, as if his touch was a reminder of all the anguish he had inflicted. Devon's heart ached with a remorse so deep that it felt like a physical weight pressing down on him, and he silently swore to himself that he would do whatever it took
"I will send you to your faculty" Devon told Bienley the next morning as they ate breakfast."Just drop me at my dorm and I will just hitch with Josh" Bienley replied casually."I am your boyfriend, and I will be the one to send you to school and bring you back home," Devon firmly murmured, causing Bienley to arch his brow at him questioningly."But it will take more of your time. You also have an early class, right?" Bienley snorted, appalled by his stubbornness"Then you will bring the car. I will take the bike" Devon commanded, staring straight into his eyes. Bienley, noticing the seriousness in his face, decided not to debate anymore. Knowing Devon, he will find a way to get him to agree."Fine" he let out a sigh. Seeing his acquiescence, Devon subtly smirk. They continued to eat in comfortable silence and quickly prepared to leave. They went to the parking at the basement where a black car and a black bike were already waiting. Bienley came to a halt and shook his head when
Devon jauntily whistled a cheerful tune as he made his way into the engineering department. The students who crossed his path along the way were filled with curiosity on his bright disposition, yet they also maintained a sense of wariness. Even when it came to lunchtime, Devon's high spirits were palpable. He might not have been sporting a broad grin, but it was blatantly evident that he was in an exceptionally good mood. He is undeniably exuding an infectious energy that made those around him take notice and wonder what had put him in such a fine fettle."We will meet with the seniors after class," Lucas told him."Hmm..." he just slightly nodded. "Has Bienley spent the night with you again?" Dex inquired when he could no longer conceal his curiosity."Yup," Devon replied casually, although his expression revealed his bright disposition. His friends simply nodded their heads in complete comprehension, and then they all resumed eating in silence. "This gyudon is tasty; Bienley m
"I'm just waiting for someone, I will immediately go if he arrives," Bienley explained with a bashful, timid smile."Please, leave. We don't want you to get hurt," the senior already begged, his nervous smile betraying his unease. Bienley simply stared at the senior, perplexed by his strange expression. He had not expected engineering students to place such a high value on their lunch tables. He looked around and found that everyone's gaze was riveted on him."What on earth is wrong with these people?" Bienley mused inwardly. Suddenly, the entire food court descended into an eerie silence, and everyone seemed to be holding their breaths. The most dreaded and fearsome gang of engineering students was entering the food court, and the senior who had approached the boy remained steadfastly by his side. He didn't want to mess with their leader, but he felt compelled to safeguard the medical student. The leader's gaze was trained directly on the figure sitting at the table, and everyon
They are already inside the car, but Bienley remained unmoving to fasten his seatbelt. He simply gazed at Devon, who was focused on adjusting the driver's seat and mirrors."What's the matter?" He asked softly, having noticed Bienley's keen glance.Bienley meet his eyes, but said nothing. Yet, he waited."You looked troubled" he become concerned after a while of locked gazes with him. He veered to face Bienley, but he was startled when he felt a firm grip on his nape, and before he could even react, he was being passionately kissed by Bienley."Hmmm..." they moaned in unison as their lips met, sending a thrill of electricity coursing through their bodies.Their tongues entwined to a passionate duel, both succumb to a surge of emotions. Devon could feel Bienley's struggle to dominate the kiss, and he let him. Bienley rarely initiated intimacy between them, and he could sense there was something bothering him."Bienley..." Devon groaned his name as he released his lips.He continued t
"Are you sure you will be going to school?" Devon asked for the nth time."Yes, I will, so stop your rumblings. I am not puny and not a girl" Bienley snarled angrily at Devon, still exhausted from what happened the night before."I'm sorry for last night" Devon guiltily glanced at him. They have been in the car for a few minutes but have not left the parking lot yet.He has been worried for Bienley after last night. Though his body had handled him well, he was certain that his ass was on fire in the morning, despite the medication he had administered."Why do you keep apologizing? I asked for it. You sounded like you regretted it, and its irritating me more" Bienley groaned in annoyance and closed his eyes, dismissing himself from the confrontation. "I will never regret what happened between us, but I am concerned, Bienley," Devon sighed, looking at Bienley's beautiful face.Contrary to his foul mood and sputters of harsh words, Bienley apeared calm with his closed eyes. "I've told
While Josh and Kit are dreadfully waiting for Zen to find Devon, the engineering group chats are on fire."Von, Zen has been sending messages to every engineering message bulletin, looking for you. It may be urgent," Lucas remarked, scrolling through his phone."Shit, I forgot to charge my phone. It could have drained by now." Devon qucikly retrieved his phone from his backpack and checked it."Yeah, it's dead" he snorted and went to charge it. "Just tell Zen I am here, and my battery is dead. I will wait for him here before I leave to pick up Bienley" Devon turned to Lucas.He was completely oblivious of the panic from the other side of engineering.Just a few minutes after Lucas sent the reply, Zen entered the classroom, panting. "Boss, Bienley needs you," Zen managed to say between panting gasps."What happened to Bienley? Where is he?" Devon and Lucas are on their feet as they hear Bienley's name."He is with Josh and Kit. They could not reach you, so they called me instead. The
Josh tried to gather his thoughts while looking at Devon's attentive gaze. He had already expected Devon would ask and he deserve to know. He had been with Bienley whenever he had a breakdown when the sky darkened and heavy rain poured, but he was never used to seeing him in such a miserable state."I am surprised that Bienley quickly falls asleep with you. In times like this, he would find it difficult to calm down, more so fall asleep" Josh mumbled, staring at Bienley's peaceful face."He knows he is safe with me" Devon placed a kiss on Bienley's forehead before turning back to Josh, waiting for him to speak. "I do not think Bienley would mind if I tell you. Anyway, as his boyfriend, you need to know to understand him more" Josh said, after his deep contemplation. "I am sure he will tell me all about it. But I can not wait until he wakes up; I need to know now" Devon seriously demanded. "Bienley will not behave this way for no reason. I am so fucking worried, so make me underst
Bienley's self-assurance as Devon Dalton's boyfriend blossomed exponentially after their vacation together. The time spent with the family and the incidents that took place overseas, somehow solidified his bond with Devon. Now they were back at the university, and Devon had been preoccupied in the preparations for the engineering sports feasr. His friends, along with the other seniors, curated several activities for the students. On that particular afternoon, the engineering students were out on the field engaging in outdoor games. The engineering ground was pulsating with a festive commotion and vitality, courtesy of all the activities meticulously planned for everyone by the officers. Some students were gearing up to partake in the impending games, while others were simply having a great time flirting with the seniors. Nevertheless, the majority of the attention was magnetically drawn towards the stage where the dashing gang leader and his cohorts were stationed. As was the u
"Why is he here too?" Judah muttered irritably when he spotted Devon with Bienley beside him. "He is Devon's boyfriend, Judah,"Devon had accepted Judah's invitation. So the night after the party, they went to the newly opened club. "But that doesn't mean he'll follow him around, Dean. Devon and I have been friends since we first learned to walk. He is just a boyfriend, a passing fancy," Judah snorted, glancing at the oblivious Bienley. "I know Devon better than him. He will soon be dumped, just like the others. Devon never keeps a relationship. He gets tired easily," Judah snickered as he watched the two figures approach them. "Don't let Devon hear you, Judah." "I don't need to, Rick. But I am certain he will dump him in no time," Judah stubbornly insisted. "This is indeed a great place," Devon smiled, greeting his friends with a casual hug and a pat on the back. "Told you. I know you will love it here," Judah smiled broadly, almost triumphant. Bienley remained in his spot, w
Bienley casually looked around and began to make his way through the crowd, each step deliberate and purposeful. The din of the crowd and the scene ahead of him seemed to grate on his nerves. He mentally scowled as he pushed his way forward. No matter how hard he tried to calm himself, he could not shake the sense of possessiveness that coursed through him, seeing Devon with another guy. Such a feeling caught him off guard, and the alcohol did nothing to alleviate the nagging pain in his chest.Devon made him feel strange emotions he did not realize he possessed. He is not liking it at all. As he continued on his way, guests began to notice him and their gazes followed. But he was unbothered by the attention he was getting. Everyone he passed by was a blur, faceless entities.Noticing the peculiar atmosphere, Madame Zora and the rest of the Dalton family paused their other engagements and turned to watch Bienley. They exchanged puzzled glances, but no one knew what was going on w
As the family's holiday vacation started, Bienley happily embarked on his new journey with them. He was full of anticipation for the fresh experiences ahead together with Devon and his entire family. Madame Zora threw an intimate welcome party for them, inviting the family's closest friends.Guests began to arrive, and the entire family became preoccupied with receiving them. Devon was also caught up in a conversation with one of the groups. Bienley watched the jovial gathering from one corner. Being not used to such frivolity, he got quite overwhelmed. After Madame Zora introduced him around, he excused himself to take some breather. The family became concerned but with some earnest persuasion, they let him have his way. Devon and his family are overwhelming his nerves, and he needs some space from them. He sat at the far end corner of the venue, and thankfully, no one seemed to mind him. He was grateful that, following their serious discussion, Devon agreed not to tell anyone
"My Angel!"Everyone was stunned as they watched the ever-formidable Madame Zora Quintana bolt excitedly towards the pale boy, who stood frozen on their feet like the others."Benny, you are here" the old lady open her arms to him and amidst his surprise, he stepped into her warm embrace."Grandma?" He mumbled softly, still in disbelief."I am so sorry for not calling you often, Angel. Grandma has been quite busy," she said, hugging him tenderly with closed eyes, basking in the tranquility of having him in her arms."I can't believe you are here with Grandma now, my angel. You had not left my mind since our meeting, but this old lady was swamped with responsibilities. I am so sorry for not finding you soon again," she continued, holding him at arms length and staring at his beautiful face."I tasked my grandson to find you, but that little devil decided to rebel against me." She snorted, glancing at the side where Devon was standing. "You know Bienley, Mom?" Meryl was the first to re
"I do not want to go," Bienley muttered seriously, avoiding Devon's gaze."Don't do this to me, Baby. As I said earlier, I will deal with my grandmother," Devon, kneeling on the floor in front of Bienley, begged. "I do not want to create a rift between you and your grandparents, Devon." Bienley shake his head.After dinner, and as the conversation progressed, he learned that Devon's entire family will be visiting their grandparents for the holidays. The discovery made him even more nervous."There will he no rift, Bienley. Abuela will not force me into something I do not like" Devon gave him a solemn reassurance. "You are too confident. Your family was right, you are so spoiled" Bienley is becoming increasingly frustrated."Fine, I am spoiled, and I would take that advantage to convince my grandmother that I am only interested in you, Bienley. If it's not you, I will not have anyone else" Devon stubbornly insisted. "Devon..." Bienley raked his hair, frustrated that he could not pe
Bienley was too embarrassed to spend even a minute late in Devon's room after they had freshened up, given the warning Devon's mother had given him.Despite Devon's objections, Bienley forced him to hurry so that his family would not have to wait for them for too long.To his relief, they arrived almost together with everyone. He has never cared what others think of him or what impression he makes, but for some reason, he does not want to make a bad impression on the Dalton family."You are fine now?" Devon teased, while Bienley glared at him. The table, as expected, is laden with delectable feasts fit for royalty such as the family."Enjoy our simple feast to welcome you, Bienley" Bienley was surprised to get a warm welcome from Devon's father. Given the Dalton patriarch's reserved demeanor, he did not expect him to prepare a feast for him.A son bringing another guy as his boyfriend is already a test for any father, but Dave Dalton appeared indulgent. Bienley can not imagine how h
After all of the nerve-racking exams and paperwork, school break has finally arrived. Like almost everyone from KD University, Bienley and Devon are set to have their vacation together.Devon will bring him home as agreed, and despite his reservations, Bienley chose to trust Devon.It will take about an hour to get there, but Bienley wishes it was longer."Relax, no one will bite you there, well, except me" Devon teases, smiling."Ouchh.." he pouted when Bienley elbowed him. "Serve you right. Can not you see how nervous I am already? He glared at Devon, which only added to his amusement."You can sleep on the road to calm down," he suggested, which Bienley found absurd. He doubts he will be able to sleep with his current nervousness.Devon, sensing his unease, drew him closer and forced him to rest his head on his shoulder. He was about to complain, but Devon's natural scent reached his nostrils, calming him down.He closed his eyes and snuggled closer to Devon's neck. Devon's lips
"Devon, we will be late" Bienley called from the closet."Done, let's go love" Devon answered while gathering his things.When they arrived in the basement parking, Bienley slowed his steps and fixed his gaze on the white car next to Devon's black one.Aside from their contrasting colors, the two vehicles are identical."It's yours, it arrived yesterday" Devon muttered."Seriously, Devon?" He was exasperated, but the other guy seemed unbothered."Couple stuff" Devon winked and raised the key in front of him, adding to his incredulity. "You are crazy, Devon Dalton" he could do nothing but shake his head, grabbing the key from his hand."Drive safely" Devon made a playful salute, walking towards their own vehicle. As Bienley expected, the vehicle created an uproar."Exactly how many cars did Devon have? Does he have a collection of all the colors?" Kit asked in awe. "Couple stuff" smiling, he imitated what Devon said and the way he said it. Kit and Josh stared at him with arched bro
