Chapter 11

After finishing his food, Timothy was about to go to the restroom when Bob stood up at the same time."Where are you going?" Timothy asked."To the restroom," Bob replied."Oh, I want to go too," Timothy said.Bob nodded and made his way to the restroom. Timothy followed behind, feeling the need to explain himself. "I drank a lot of iced tea." He was nervous."Mm," Bob responded."And I drank your soup, too," Timothy said."I know," Bob replied."And I—" Timothy started, but Bob turned around and asked, "What are you trying to say?""Nothing," Timothy mumbled.He just wanted Bob to know he did not have a kidney issue, but it seemed like Bob did not get it.There were six men's urinals in the men's restroom, and only the sixth one on the left was occupied by a German guy. Bob took the second urinal.Timothy wanted to stay as far from Bob as possible, so he headed for the fifth urinal. Just as he approached it, he heard Bob say, "Why are you going so far away?"Timothy stiff

Timothy closed the door and said, "Say whatever you need to say but get it all out at once. And please, don't keep repeating things like how many years it's been. You keep coming over like this, and it's getting on my nerves."Leonardo held back his frustration and spoke in a low, pleading tone, "I know I'm at fault. I promise you. If you just forgive me this one time—"Timothy interrupted him. "Leonardo, let me put it this way. I've been with you since I was 17, and it's been seven years. If I forgive you just because I can't let go of these seven years, and then we stay together for another 20 years, what if you pull the same stunt again? Wouldn't I feel even more obligated to forgive you then? How much more do you expect me to put up with?"Leonardo, irritated, said, "Can you not dismiss the next few decades just because of one mistake? You haven't even spent the next 20 years with me yet, so how can you know I'll mess up again? Can't you stop worrying about things that haven't e

Chapter 13

Your Distance/A Gentleman

He talked about grading his homework so casually that it almost sounded like he just took out Timothy's trash.Timothy was so taken aback at the invasion of his privacy that he almost wanted to call the police. However, what would he say?He probably could say, "Officer, a creepy professor followed me to my doorstep with ill intentions."Maybe he could say, "And then he found a flimsy excuse to enter my private residence."Next, perhaps he could say, "Finally, while I was completely defenseless, he despicably graded my homework?"There was no way he could report that."Why did you grade my homework without my permission?" Timothy wanted to question Bob, but when he looked at Bob's face, he suddenly felt nervous, panicked, and weak. His legs were trembling."I mean, I did finish my assignment, but I still needed to proofread it. The deadline isn't until next Monday. Couldn't you have waited for me to submit it before grading it? Besides, isn't it the TAs who usually grade the ass

Another hour passed, and Timothy finally understood all the problems with his assignment. He could have finished earlier, but there was one part he could not figure out, and his pride would not let him ask Bob for help. So, he stubbornly worked it out on his own, dragging it out until then.Having solved the problem by himself, Timothy felt a surge of confidence. He started seeing the professor on the couch as harmless. Timothy could not resist the urge to poke at him a bit.He walked forward and arrogantly snatched the comic book from Bob's hands.Bob looked up. "What are you doing?"Timothy, towering over Bob, said, "I'm done studying."He stood so close that his hips were almost directly in front of Bob's face, though he was unaware of it.Bob's gaze fell on Timothy's crotch; his voice grew deeper as he said, "So?"So?Timothy had started full of bravado, but when he noticed the dark look in Bob's eyes, he suddenly felt tongue-tied.Looking down at Bob's glasses and the bri

That could not be considered a kiss; their lips barely touched.Bob looked at Timothy, his voice low as he said, "Is that it?"Is that it? What more did he want?Timothy's face flushed, and just as he was about to speak, Bob said, "At least, it should be like this."Bob grabbed Timothy's chin and pried his lips apart."Mm…" The clean scent of aftershave and his raw masculine pheromones immediately aroused Timothy's senses. Bob's kiss was anything but gentle; it was filled with dominance, even bordering on roughness. He had always liked it a bit rough.At first, Timothy resisted a little, but he quickly found himself trembling under the onslaught of the kiss, unconsciously wrapping his arms around Bob's neck, surrendering to Bob's control over his lips.At that moment, Timothy suddenly realized that the mouth could also be considered a sexual organ.It could be opened and penetrated, and it was sensitive to sensual touch.It could experience the same electrifying feeling, the s

That night, Xander left after nine. Timothy opened the Distance app and checked Cycle's distance. It said 4.8 kilometers. He looked at that number and smiled momentarily before sending a message.[Frost: Home early, huh?]About ten minutes later, Cycle responded.[Cycle: Just got home.]Timothy thought for a moment and clarified.[Frost: I'm not checking up on you, I'm just concerned.][Cycle: Concerned about what?]Timothy decided to make a joke.[Frost: You know, there are a lot of desperate refugees in Germany.][Cycle: So?][Frost: I'm worried someone might take advantage of you.]Bob sent a voice message. "Worry about yourself first."Timothy could imagine Bob's tone when he said that. It made his heart itch. Timothy hesitated but could not resist and replied, "Why don't we chat over a call?"So, Bob called him.Timothy cleared his throat and immediately answered, but he did not know what to say once connected, so he lamely asked, "Can you hear me?"Bob replied, "Ye

"Actually…" Timothy lowered his gaze, focusing on how Bob held the newspaper. "You can get more excited. I'll take responsibility for it."Bob put the newspaper down, picked up his coffee, and asked, "Is this Freesia's service?"Timothy's eyes followed Bob's hand to the coffee cup handle. "No, it's my personal service."Bob sipped the coffee and said, "Personal service." His tone was laden with meaning.Timothy responded, "Yes."As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly ducked his head and returned to the order counter. Personal service? Timothy could not believe he had said something so provocative.Luckily, a new customer arrived, and he became busy taking orders and making coffee, leaving him no time to dwell on his bold words.During his shift, Timothy would glance over at Bob whenever he had a moment.Bob had brought two books with him, and after finishing the newspaper, he spent his time reading.The folded newspaper, the empty coffee cup, and a worn book lay on the ta

When Bob stepped out, Timothy felt timid and asked, "Where are we going?"Bob replied, "Isn't this supposed to be personal service?"Timothy unconsciously glanced at the sky and said, "Isn't it a bit too early?"Bob said, "It's not early. Get in the car."Not early? It was only four in the afternoon, and it was not early? How long was that service going to last? Holding the bouquet, Timothy got into the car, feeling slightly drained before they had done anything.'Don't be drained,' Timothy thought. 'You're only 24, young and strong, and he's 12 years older than you—he's the one past his prime.'He said, "Um, are we going to your place?"Bob said, "We'll go to the supermarket first."He glanced at Timothy and said, "Seatbelt.""Oh, oh…" Timothy quickly fastened his seatbelt. "Why are we going to the supermarket?"Bob said, "Didn't you say you wanted to eat honey-glazed ribs? We're going to buy ribs."They had yet to start dating officially, so Bob had not initially planned t

Chapter 19

Timothy pretended not to hear Bob and ran faster, sneaking over to the sofa. He turned back to see that Bob had not come out to catch him.He did not expect to get an actual punishment—it was almost like when a teacher only gave a warning for daydreaming in class. Timothy assumed that the matter of grabbing Bob's butt was dismissed with that simple threat for him to go to him.He looked around, placed the freesias on the dining table, and returned to the kitchen.Everything in the kitchen seemed normal. The ribs were marinating in herbs and spices, the potatoes were boiling in the pot, waiting to be peeled, and the fish was roasting in the oven. Bob was holding a knife, meticulously removing the veins from the shrimp.Timothy had nothing to do, so he opened the fridge and tore open the box of ice cream, eating two in one go. Delicious.Just as he was about to eat a third, he suddenly heard Bob, who had just finished handling the shrimp, washing his hands as he slowly and deliberat

Bob flipped the ribs in the pan and said, "Mine won't fit you."Timothy snapped angrily, "Then what am I supposed to wear? Go naked?"Bob smirked slightly. "I don't mind."Timothy stared at Bob's side profile for a long time. He took in those rimless glasses, the eyeglass chain, the high-neck sweater, the entire refined and ascetic demeanor…"Hypocrite! A wolf in sheep's clothing…"Timothy cursed under his breath as he clumsily climbed down from the counter, grabbed a seasoning jar, and was about to dump it onto the ribs in the pan.Bob deftly moved the pan aside with one hand and took the seasoning jar from Timothy's grasp with the other, chuckling softly. "Quit messing around."Timothy was about to continue his mischief when Bob leaned in and lightly kissed him. "Alright, that's enough."That little kiss made Timothy lose all will to act up. The anger dissipated. Something inside him stirred and swelled slightly.He stood beside Bob, watching him fry the ribs while quietly f
