The rest of the month kind went by in a blur. The boys and I finished our demo and sent it out. The record company said we’d hear back from them by the end of the year so that gave us about two months to sit anxiously in wait.

Our lives pretty much went back to normal after everything that happened. Kay fully recovered mentally and physically, minus a couple scars, and we were all back to our carefree selves. The cops hadn’t found who kidnapped her and they said they would stop the investigation in a few weeks if no new evidence came up. That made Mike really mad and he said some things about going undercover as a cop to find the fucker but that idea was short lived.

Currently I was in my bedroom finishing up an essay for one of my classes. It was the perfect time to do so considering I had the entire apartment to myself. Brandon was at practice and said he’d probably spend the night at Kay’s place since Mike had to study; Jaime had gone out with Jack, Gabe, and Justin; and Kellin was either at the library or the store, whichever one he’d said he was going to first.

I stared at the flashing cursor on my computer screen as it indicated that I needed to be typing something. In all honestly, everything I had thought about earlier was either written down or had escaped from my conscious thoughts. I groaned in frustration at myself and the situation. I had been doing so well until that moment.

I turned the volume up on my computer before sitting back in my chair and letting the sounds of Thrice fill my room. I don’t usually write essays to music because I would eventually end up writing some of the song’s lyrics in my paper but tonight was an exception. I was home alone, bored, and had a serious case of writer’s block.

I looked curiously at my computer screen when I heard the familiar sound of Facebook Messenger.

Are you as bored as I am?

I read the message from Kellin with a smile on my face and responded.

Hell yeah. What are you doing?

At the library. Thought I could find something here to inspire me with this prompt. No luck

That’s what the internet’s for :P

I could just feel him roll his eyes at me. It made me chuckle.

Well I wanted to go to the library

Yeah but how could the library help with an application exercise?

Shut up you fucker

I left him alone after that. He would message me in a little bit telling me he was bored again but if I kept messing with him then that wouldn’t happen for a while.

How the fuck do you apply The Tempest to anything in contemporary writing???

Speak of the devil.

You’re asking the wrong person. I didn’t even read it

VIC!!!

Was that the wrong answer?

Now I’ve gotta come back home and make you read it

Why tho? I tested.

Because you’ll bs this whole thing if I don’t. Don’t leave I’m coming back

I was so tempted to leave but I guess the whole loving Kellin thing made me stay put. He was right though, I was bs-ing this paper. Hard. I just didn’t get how The Tempest related to anything contemporary but somehow it did. I got up out of my seat and went into the kitchen. I guess food would be needed if I was gonna read Shakespeare. I found the leftover pizza in the fridge and put it in the microwave. Kellin wasn’t the biggest fan of cold pizza and I knew he’d be hungry so warming it up wasn’t a bad idea.

Kell appeared through the door as I was getting out the sodas. He looked at me weird but didn’t ask questions. He already knew that I was gonna try to get out of reading that stupid play.

Kellin ignored me and went straight into my room upon hearing the music that was playing. I sighed and took the snacks in there with me. He was sitting on my bed with the book in hand. He looked up at me when I set everything down on the desk.

“So,” he started, “how are we gonna do this? Do I have to read to you or are you a big boy?”

“Don’t make me hurt you,” I said sternly, but he knew I was joking. He smiled and patted a spot on the bed. I sat next to him and waited for him to do something.

“Well…?” he asked.

“I’m not a big boy,” I said with a hint of a laugh. He giggled and opened the book.

I watched as he read to me. His lips and tongue flowed over the words he spoke; it was mesmerizing. Damn, Kellin had some nice lips. They were pink and plump and extremely distracting.

Focus Vic.

But I don’t wanna.

Dammit Vic.

I squeezed my eyes tight and tried to focus on Kellin’s voice reading to me. I smiled when I noticed the different voices and inflections he used when he voiced the different characters. It was cute. Kellin was cute.

“So, that’s the end of Act One,” he said as he closed the book.

“Was that all we had to read?” I asked, surprised at how quickly he’d gone through it.

He nodded. “Yup, at least for this assignment.” He got up and went to my computer. “Now, apply that to this.” I rolled my eyes but took a seat at my desk and started rewriting my paper. What can I say, Kellin’s sternness was what I needed. Soon I was done and had printed it out.

“Now can I do something?” I asked when Kell had printed out his paper and placed it in his binder. He looked at me with a questioning look but didn’t tell me no.

I stood from my seat and closed the space between us. He was sitting on the bed with his legs dangling off the edge. I stood in between them and moved a lock of hair away from his eye. His breathing got a little uneven as he picked up on what I wanted to do. It felt good knowing that I still had that effect on him.

I tangled my fingers in his hair and brought his face closer to mine, engulfing his lips into a sweet kiss. Our mouths molded together and soon our tongues were dancing in the other’s mouth. His hands were on my hips, pulling me closer to him. That’s when I knew I had him.

Against my better judgement I pulled away from him. I saw that cute little pout on his lips that he puts on whenever I don’t let him have his way. Swear, my boyfriend was such a child sometimes but I loved him more than anything.

“Let’s go do something,” I said once I got over the look on his face. Now he looked like he was thinking it over.

“Something like what?”

“I don’t know. Let’s get food, maybe see a movie. We don’t have anything to do tomorrow besides class so let’s go out.”

“Like on a date?”

“Yeah! Let’s go on a date!” He laughed, probably at how excited I was over a plan I hadn’t even thought out.

“Okay, where are we going?”

“I don’t know,” I answered. “What do you wanna do?”

“Vic, you can’t ask me out on a date and not have anything planned. Have some follow through.”

“I can tell you one thing I wanna follow through on tonight,” I said as I bit my lip. He blushed and looked down at his lap. It made me wonder if I could ever embarrass him without him getting all shy.

“Seriously Kell, what do you wanna eat?” He thought about it for a moment before he looked at me with a smile.

“I’d love a burger.” I smiled back at him.

“B Dubs it is.”

***

“You know, I don’t think many people would be okay with B Dubs being the place for a date.” I shot Kell a look. He shrugged and put on an innocent face as he ate a fry.

“Well this was a spur of the moment thing and besides, I didn’t hear you saying anything while I was driving here.”

“That’s because I wanted food.” I rolled my eyes.

“Yeah, right.” He tossed a fry at my face and I surprised myself when I caught it in my mouth.

“Ten points for Gryffindor!” he shouted. I rolled my eyes and watched as he laughed like it was the funniest thing he’d ever heard. My little dork.

“So,” he said when he’d finally calmed down, “what’s after this?”

“Dunno,” I said with a shrug because I really didn’t. I know I suggested a movie when we were back at the apartment but I checked the show times and there was nothing that I knew we’d both want to see.

“Well will the guys be back when we get home?” I shook my head. I knew that Brandon was gonna be with Kay or Ariel and Jaime was probably about to get too drunk to stand. That’s usually what happened when he hung out with Jack and Justin.

“Good,” Kell said with a smile. I smirked at him, knowing where his mind was. Our waitress brought our check which I took and paid in record time. Once she brought back my card I took Kellin by the hand and dragged him back to the car, not wanting to waste any time.

“Hold on,” he said with a laugh. I looked back at him. “I have more on my mind besides sex you know.” I raised an eyebrow in confusion. He did?

“Like what?” I asked. He just shrugged.

“Stuff,” he said nonchalantly.

“Yeah, well let’s see how your ‘stuff’ holds up with what I have planned.”

“Oh?” he challenged, stepping closer to me with a determined yet seductive look on his face. I bit my lip.

“Yeah,” I said softly.

“I’d like to see you try.” He closed the space between us; our noses were almost touching. I felt his breath tickle my lips. It took everything in me not to kiss him, no matter how badly I wanted to crash my lips against his. Unfortunately he pulled away and went to his side of the car. I shook my head to get out of that moment and got in the car.

“You jerk,” I mumbled when we were both buckled up. He just shrugged but had a playful look was in his eyes.

“Let’s just go home.” I rolled my eyes but drove anyway. Who was he to start getting me worked up just to mess with my feelings? He was gonna get what he deserved. The whole ride back I thought of a way to get him back.

We arrived at the apartment shortly after and noticed that neither Jaime nor Brandon’s cars were in the parking lot. I smiled to myself and looked at Kellin who was just getting out of the car. I took in some of his features before lacing my fingers with his and walking up the stairs.

“Get on Netflix and pick something,” I said to him as I went into the kitchen. I quickly made the popcorn and got out some sodas. When I got to the living room Kellin had my Netflix homepage up on the TV with blankets on the couch. I smiled at him and put the snacks on the table.

“I have no idea what to pick,” he said more to himself than to me. I gave him an evil smirk before I made my suggestion.

“How about something spooky?” He turned to me with wide eyes that I couldn’t help but laugh at. Kellin hated scary movies but me being me made him watch them from time to time because they were good. It was always funny whenever the gang would go to the movies. We’d suggest a horror movie and Kell and Jaime would go off in the other direction, usually to an animated film.

“How about no,” Kell said. I tried to hold in a laugh.

“C’mon, we haven’t watched one in a while.”

“I don’t see a problem with that actually.”

“Please?” I begged, giving him a pout that I knew he couldn’t say no to. As expected he sighed and handed me the remote. I smiled triumphantly and selected a movie I’d wanted to watch with him for a while: Containment. His eyes went wide.

“No Vic, absolutely not.”

“What’s the big deal? It’s not real and it’s not all that scary.” He looked skeptical so I continued. “C’mon Kell, you’ll be fine.” I went to turn off the lights and returned to the couch, draping the blanket over myself and placing the bowl of popcorn in my lap. I started the movie and sat back, shoving a handful of popcorn in my mouth. Kellin was sitting on the other end of the couch but once the movie started he got under the blanket with me.

“That’s better,” I said with a triumphant smile. He hit me playfully and turned his attention to the screen.

Half an hour into the movie and Kell didn’t seem freaked out at all. I mean, there were some parts that took him off guard but he would just snuggle up into me and would be fine. That’s where he was at the moment, snuggled against my chest with an arm around my torso. My fingers were playing with his hair. It was a nice moment minus the horror movie.

I looked down at Kell and studied him. He was watching the screen so it was the perfect opportunity. His bright eyes sparkled in the light of the TV; his lips were parted slightly, something he did when he was focused. I stared at those lips for what felt like forever. They were just so plump and pink and perfect. Fuck, I wanted them on me.

“Take a picture, it’ll last longer.” Kellin’s voice brought me out of my thoughts.

“I would take pictures but you have on too many clothes.” Even in the dim light I saw his cheeks redden. I took the opportunity to act on the thoughts in my head. I brought his face up to meet mine and kissed his perfect lips. This time neither of us pulled away.

I repositioned us so I was lying on top of him, never letting our lips separate. He ran his fingers through my hair while my hand went down his side to his hip. It didn’t rest there. I moved it so it was grabbing his thigh and bringing it to my waist. He let it rest there as he deepened the kiss.

Our tongues danced in each other’s mouths while our bodies grinded against one another. I slipped my hand under his shirt and rubbed his bare chest, enjoying the feeling of his warm skin. I needed more though. I pressed myself closer to him and began sucking on his neck, his sweet spot. Once he started moaning I knew I had him.

Kellin ran his hands down my back and up my shirt. I separated from him in order to take it off. As soon as I did our lips found each other again.

In the midst of our make-out session our clothes disappeared. Soon we were naked on the couch, still attached at the lips. I trailed kisses down Kellin’s chest to his hips, lightly nipping at the skin on that area. It made him squirm. I put a hand on his stomach to still him while my other hand made its way to his member.

“Fuck,” he whispered as my hand slowly inched up and down his cock. I could hear his breaths become deeper and uneven. I sped up, wanting to hear him come undone. When I wasn’t getting the response I wanted I placed butterfly kisses down his length, paying special attention to the tip.

“Vic,” he whimpered. I looked up at him with a smirk before sucking on the tip, swirling my tongue around it and running it through the slit. “Oh fuck,” he moaned. I did it again in hopes of a louder response. Rather than that he bucked his hips up, pushing his dick into my mouth. I obliged his request and took more of him in. I kept my lips close to him and sucked as I took in more of him. Before I knew it he was hitting the back of my throat and I was playing with his balls with my hand.

“Mmm,” he moaned in delight. I took my mouth off of him and stroked him quickly with my hand. His hips bucked up once again.

“I’d like to fuck you now,” I said in a low, husky voice.

“Please,” he whimpered. I got up and kissed him again. His hands found their way onto my face and held me there, deepening the kiss. Reluctantly, I pulled away and reached down to get a condom out of my wallet. I stroked myself before putting it on.

“God, you look so hot when you play with yourself,” Kellin said seductively. I smirked.

“Just wait until you see how hot I look when I fuck you.” He bit his lip and gestured for me to come closer. I picked up the little bottle of lube that I had brought out of my room and put some on before hovering over Kellin. I kissed his lips once more then positioned myself in between his legs.

“You ready?” I asked as I rubbed my dick against his opening. His mouth formed a tiny “O” as his eyes closed.

“Don’t tease me,” he moaned quietly. I smiled evilly and pushed myself into him. “Oh fuck,” he yelped. I sunk my entire length into him, enjoying his warm, tight hole. The strokes came soon after.

“Fuck Kellin, you feel so good.”

“Mmm.”

I smiled for a brief second before refocusing. Once my rhythm was established I pushed deeper into him, wanting to feel him tighten around me. He was a moaning, squirming mess underneath me. I placed my hands on his hips to still him.

“If you don’t stop running away I’m gonna have to punish you,” I said deeply. He moaned in response.

“Do it,” he challenged. So that’s what I did.

I lifted his leg up so his ankle was resting on my shoulder; then I pounded into him. My full length was inside his tight little hole, filling him up and hitting that spot I knew he loved. One hand was on his hip, my nails digging into the skin.

“Vic!” he screamed. I took that as a sign to go faster. I showed no mercy as I buried myself inside him.

“Is this the punishment you wanted?” I growled.

“Mm, yes. Fuck!” His moans weren’t enough for me though. I squeezed his dick and pumped it quickly, feeling his muscles tense up in my hand.

“You’re so close,” I said huskily. He moaned in response. “How close?”

“Very,” he breathed. I pumped him faster, flicking my wrist and circling my thumb over his tip. Within seconds he was exploding around my hand and screaming my name.

I didn’t let him off the hook though. Once he’d calmed down I went back to thrusting into him. I went deeper, harder, faster, just wanting to reach my climax. Kellin sat up a little and pulled me to him. He wrapped me in his arms and kissed me with so much passion and intensity that I let myself go inside of him while I moaned in his mouth. I pulled out and laid on top of him. We were both breathless and sweaty but that didn’t keep us from connecting our lips for the hundredth time that night.

“How do you feel?” I asked Kell. His eyes were closed and his fingers were running through my hair.

“I feel like I’m gonna be sore in the morning,” he chuckled.

“Well hey, you wanted to be punished,” I said with a laugh. He tugged on my hair. “Ouch. Jerk.”

He stuck his tongue out. “You love me.”

I smiled. “I do. More than you’ll ever know.”

“You should tell me some time,” he said with a yawn. I chuckled as I moved some hair out of his eyes.

“Don’t worry Kell, I’ll tell you everything one day. I’ll tell you about how much I love you and how I can’t imagine my life without you. I’ll tell you that you’re my whole world and without you I’d be lost. I’ll tell you that you mean absolutely everything to me; that you’re my best friend and the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”

I looked up at Kellin to see his mouth open; he was already snoring a little. I kissed his forehead and covered us with the blanket before placing my head back on his chest.

“But for now I’ll just tell you goodnight.”
