Aiden was shocked still. What was Dylan talking about? Did he see him kiss Noah? The possibility of that bought a sense of dread through his body.
" Are you one of those?" Dylan asked with venom in his voice.
"O-One of w-what?" Aiden asked, anticipating the worst.
" Don't act coy with me, Aiden. Are you gay?" Dylan screamed so loud that Aiden was trembling in fear.
He didn't respond, so Dylan punched the wall in anger glaring at Aiden.
"I-I..."
" Who am I kidding? I saw it with my own eyes. You were kissing that so-called roommate of yours," Dylan spat.
" Y-You s-saw that?" Aiden stuttered.
" Yes, and if I hadn't, you would have never told me. Why, Aiden, why? Why you of all people?"
Aiden was looking down, trying to avoid looking at Dylan.
Dylan got furious and held Aiden's jaw in a tight grip. " Don't look away from me," he yelled.
Aiden tried to get away from Dylan, but his grip was too tight.
" How could you do this? How could you be one of those? Don't you know I hate them?"
"I-It's not my c-choice," Aiden said. " I a-am like this."
" Don't give me that bullshit. I know what it is. You are sick, and I will make you get rid of your sickness."
" W-What do you mean?"
" All this is because of your roommate. Stay away from him; he's a bad influence."
Aiden didn't like hearing Dylan blaming Noah. He gathered his courage and said, " It's not because of him. Don't blame Noah unnecessarily."
Dylan couldn't believe what he heard. Aiden was defending that guy. " You dare to argue with me for that filthy bastard?"
" P-Please..." Aiden stuttered. " He is not a bastard."
Dyan tightened the grip he had on Aiden almost to the point of breaking his jaw.
" Arghhh!!" Aiden groaned. " Y-You are hurting me."
" It's you who is hurting me. " Dylan roared. " Have you forgotten what I have done for you? If not for me, you would be rotting in that Orphanage."
" I appreciate what you did for me and would always be grateful to you, but that doesn't give you the right to abuse Noah. He did nothing wrong." Aiden didn't know where he found the newfound courage. Maybe because of his love for Noah.
" You sure support him a lot," Dylan sneered. " Have you even spread your legs for him?"
Aiden didn't respond and tried to look away from Dylan.
Seeing Aiden's silence, Dylan felt disgusted. He pushed Aiden away and screamed, " Does that mean... you even slept with him?"
" You disgust me, " Dylan yelled. He approached Aiden again and squeezed his neck. " How many guys have you spread your leg for?"
" Y-You are mistaken," Aiden said, looking offended.
" Are you so easy that you are willing to sleep with anyone?"
" I am not promiscuous."
Dylan didn't even hear what Aiden said. " Are you even willing to sleep with me?"
" What?" Aiden was appalled. Never for a moment had he thought of Dylan in a romantic way.
" I know people like you. Any man would do for you."
" You are c-crossing your limit," Aiden said firmly. It was beyond his understanding why everyone assumed that being gay meant he would sleep with every man.
" Crossing my limit?" Dylan gave a dry laugh. " I will show you my limit."
Dylan pulled Aiden towards him and smashed his lips against his. Aiden was so shocked that he was frozen like a statue. After a few seconds, he came back to his senses and tried pushing Dylan away from him.
Dylan kissed him because he wanted to prove to Aiden that anyone would do for him, but surprisingly he didn't feel disgusted. Instead, it was the opposite. He had never felt so good. Unknowingly, he grabbed Aiden's hair and deepened the kiss.
Dylan realized what he was doing when he felt Aiden trying to push him away. He abruptly got away as if Aiden had burned him.
" You...? How dare you?" Dylan roared and slapped Aiden hard across the face.
Aiden fell on the table by the impact of the slap.
" Are you trying to seduce me?" Dylan shrieked.
" I-It's you who kissed me," Aiden cried out.
Dylan stared at Aiden and felt an unknown feeling that he had never felt before. Though he didn't want to accept it, what Aiden said was true. He turned around, kicked the chair in front of him, and stormed out of the house.
Aiden saw Dylan leave and quickly closed the door, fearing that he would be back. What just happened? Why did Dylan kiss him? Didn't he hate gays?
Aiden got up and went to the washroom to wash his mouth. Tears were flowing from his eyes, and he felt like he had betrayed Noah.
" I am sorry, Noah," Aiden whispered, looking at himself in the mirror.
Dylan got inside his car and banged his fist on the steering. Why did he feel so good kissing Aiden? Was he turning into a gay? Impossible. He cannot and will not be like that.
He took out his phone and dialed his girlfriend Natalie's number. She picked on the first ring and chirped, " Hey, honey!!"
" Come home now," Dylan demanded.
" Why so suddenly? Didn't you say you were busy?"
" I want to have a good time with you. It's been so long." Dylan realized he didn't f**k Natalie after meeting Aiden. He was the only one on his mind for the past few days.
" I will be there soon," Natalie said seductively and hung up.
Dylan calmed himself down and said to himself. " Everything would be fine," and drove off to his penthouse.
Dylan had just freshened up when Natalie arrived with a bottle of wine. She poured a glass for herself and Dylan to set up the romantic mood.
Dylan was getting impatient. He gulped his wine in one shot and pounced on Natalie.
" You seem to be too eager today," Natalie said huskily, kissing Dylan on his lips.
Dylan was eager not for Natalie but to prove a point to himself. He closed his eyes, aggravating the kiss, but Aiden's image flashed in front of his eyes. He suddenly backed away from his gf.
" What's wrong, baby?" Natalie asked, looking worried.
"N-Nothing," Dylan said hurriedly, more to convince himself rather than Nat. "Nothing's wrong." He took off his shirt, undressed Natalie, and pushed her onto the bed. He sucked and licked her but unexpectedly imagined doing it with Aiden. He backed away again and laid on his back, moving his hands through his hair in frustration.
" Dylan, you seem a little off today."
" I have a headache," Dylan said curtly, not looking at Natalie.
" Ohh...!! Do you want me to call a doctor?"
" No, Nat. I think I will be fine if I rest," Dylan said. " Can you leave now? I will call you tomorrow."
" Fine!!" Natalie said and got dressed. " I will be on my way. Call me if you need anything, okay?"
" Yes, baby. " Dylan gave a forced smile.
After Natalie left, Dylan closed his eyes, thinking about the day's events.
Dylan was sleeping on his bed when he was awoken by Aiden.
" What are you doing here?" Dylan asked him, looking surprised.
" You like me. Don't you?" Aiden whispered.
" W-What?" Dylan was shocked to see Aiden speak so seductively. "Are you out of your mind?"
" Yes, I am going crazy after that kiss," Aiden hissed. " I cannot get you out of my mind."
" Do you also feel the same? Even I can't stop thinking about you. Why is this happening to me?"
" Don't you know why? Don't you want to own me?"
" I already own you because you are my property; that doesn't mean I like you in that way. Don't try to poison my mind."
" You are delusional," Aiden chuckled. " Stop lying to yourself."
" I am not lying," Dylan screamed. " You are trying to change me."
" Then do you not like it when I do this?" Aiden approached Dylan and blew air on his neck, and licked it.
Dylan felt goosebumps all over his body and said, " W-What are you doing?"
" Accept that you want it to. This is what you desire."
" No, you are wrong," Dylan said. " I don't want it."
" Then why are you not stopping me now?" Aiden asked, biting Dylan's ear. " ...And why did you not want to stop when you kissed me earlier?"
" I-I..."
" You can lie to others, but you can never lie to yourself, Dylan."
" I am not like you," Dylan screamed and got up on his bed. He frantically looked around for Aiden, but he was nowhere to be seen. Was that a dream?
Dylan had dreamt about Aiden countless times but never was it so sensual and erotic. He looked down at his pants and had a raging hard-on. How the f**k is it possible?
" What are you doing to me, Aiden?" Dylan roared and threw the alarm clock kept on the side table towards the mirror, smashing it into pieces.
