Why won’t you make a sad face for me?
If it’s what you want, i f it’s only tears,
“It’s okay to cry.” Or something is what you’ll say. Right?
His strides were quick and sharp, coupled with the certainty of where he was headed and the rising heat of his anger peaking from head to his nether regions, Mathias’ mind was a jumbled mess of emotions just dying to find some sort of avenue of release. And as if it knew where it belonged, his body let itself drown freely in the whims of his head. Never in his life had he thought their college building was so huge that it would take him ages to get to where he wanted to go. Once, he believed it had been a waste for him to come to this premier yet ultimately comparatively miniature in structure and population. Today was different. The hallways were longer, there were more twists and turns, students kept bumping onto him like annoying obstructions in his path. It felt like it had been a thousand years before he finally found the door of the room he was looking for. He hastened his pace and swung the door open, ignoring the ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign, knowing full-well that the only man who placed that sign specifically does not want anything or anyone to touch him, not even the man who adored his body, heart and soul with everything he had.
Then again, it’s not as if Mathias could hold back anymore.
Massive bags under his eyes, the angry Norwegian turned to the intruder with a menacing glare, maddened at the sudden interruption. His eyes went wide with surprise at seeing the heavily panting Dane stomping towards him with predatory eyes. He stepped back, feeling a chill run down his spine. “M-Mathias, what are you doing here!? I put up the sign!”
“Shut up.” Mathias gripped him by the wrist and vigorously pulled Lukas toward him and fervently kissed him, forcing his tongue inside, tasting every corner of his mouth, burning the sensation in his mind. Lukas struggled against him, but Mathias held him fast. What’s going on? Is he angry about something!? Was all Lukas could think of as their lips unlocked but quickly returned to their battle of domination despite both losing breath. Lukas felt his knees quiver and turn to jelly as Mathias’ lips moved from his to the side of his neck, planting marks here and there, whispering soft nothings in his ear.
“Mathias! Cut it out!”
“Tsk. You should learn when to shut up, and let me do my work, Lukas baby.”
Mathias nibbled on Lukas’ earlobe earning a loud gasp from the other. Lukas tried to resist, begging him to stop but his voice didn’t seem to reach the Dane who kept leaving red marks in obvious places. He then felt a hand slowly under his shirt caressing his backside then slowly glided down and slipping into his pants. Lukas found his voice and attempted again to push the dazed Mathias off him.
“Don’t fuck with me! We’re in school!”
“You say that but you seem even more turned on than usual.”
Mathias pulled him even closer overpowering the other and then kissed him with as much force as he did at the beginning, then started to push Lukas down. Slowly losing balance, Lukas fell to the floor with a thud, Mathias entire weight pushing him down, hindering him from getting up. His wrists, bound by Mathias’ hands, were above his head allowing the Dane all the best view at his beautiful prize. Lukas was panting heavily. Mathias kept kissing him until his head was completely blank, making him lose the strength to refuse. What the hell was happening? Mathias had never been this forceful, and he would only do this if he had Lukas’ permission. He treasured him above all else and would always want Lukas to feel the pinnacle of pleasure brought by gentleness and love and yet here he was, pinned to the floor and sapped of all strength that all he could do was submit.
---------------------------------------
In the end, we went all the way. To make it even worse, we’re still in school. Lukas thought as he lay naked with Mathias on his stomach on the couch their college theatre organization had used for an event once. He was sore and red all over, not to mention he was sweaty and sticky inside and out from the rigorous activity, plus he could not move an inch since one, he was hurting so much and two, Mathias could awaken from his sleep. He reminded himself to the thank the theatre organization one of these days for their couch idea.
He stared at the sleeping face beside him, snoring soundly with not a care in the world. It was hard to believe that this was the same pheromone-ridden alpha male that took him and continuously thrusted his manhood into him again and again. He looked too peaceful, and to Lukas altogether precious. He stopped himself from these thoughts as he realized he had been grinning like a fool. His next thoughts as to why he would come here so eager for sex enough to render Lukas incapable for work turned his smile upside down. He was mad. But why? He tried to recall any time where he had done something against the Dane but to no avail. Any other person would have to be Arthur but Arthur was here not too long ago. Something must have happened at home that could’ve ticked him off.
Or that it had something to do with Emil.
As soon as the thought popped into his mind, like an instinct, Mathias’ began to stir, his eyes opening slowly, allowing Lukas to get a glimpse of his beautiful azure eyes. Those eyes that captivated him from the moment Lukas saw him. It reminded him of home, of the beautiful lake splayed towards the horizon and filling out into the ocean. He let his hand reach out and touch Mathias’ face gently, feeling the lines and features of his handsome form. Mathias curled into his touch, kissing his palm and feeling his warmth. Never in his life had he thought he would ever cherish anyone like this that it felt all too surreal to have him here with him in the dimly lit room, even amidst the clutter of materials scattered about. He was taken by surprise when Lukas winced in pain when he shifted his weight a little bit to keep them both from falling off the couch.
“I’m sorry.” He said with a soft voice.
“Damn right you should be, horny bastard. It hurt like hell and you didn’t even prepare me.” Mathias moved a hand to Lukas’ bottom and began massaging him. It was all he could think of at that moment. He then brought his face towards Lukas and brushed their lips together.
Ah, this feeling. Lighthearted and warm at the same time. He always loved Mathias’ kisses and Mathias loved kissing Lukas more than anything. It was the only thing that kept him sane for the longest time and he doubted anything could amount to the bliss he felt with those soft lips and the sweet sounds that he makes. Only Lukas. Lukas.
How could he continue with this?
Lukas broke their kiss and looked him in the eyes. Mathias smiled at him and pulled him into an embrace then into his lover’s ear he whispers, “I love you.” with all the conviction he could muster.
From below him Lukas shudders as he repeats the words of love to Mathias. They both fell silent for a while just hugging. Then Lukas breaks the silence, desperate for answers.
“Is there something I should know?”
Mathias stays still, silent and deciding whether this was the right time to come out and say it. But how?
Hey! I’ve been sleeping with your brother because he knows someone that can make our dreams come true! It was all physical and I love you the most!
As if he would accept that. Besides, he has other things to worry about. He glances at the shadow of Lukas thesis project which was coming out very well. It was beautiful just like him and for him to suddenly impose this notion, it would break his heart and would depress him for sure. With that, he let him go and got off the couch. Lukas simply stared at him as he searched for his clothes atop a pile of cut-outs.
“Mathias?”
Mathias put on his pants and moved to Lukas, a smile on his face, and then kissed the latter’s forehead. “It’s nothing. I just wanted to show you how much I love you, that’s all.” He then put on his shirt and shoes and completed his look, just the way he entered the room. He then sat beside Lukas, caressing his face. As he stared, Lukas noticed the pained expression Mathias had on like he was trying to look cheerful but in fact it wasn’t working.
“Why are you always like this? Hiding things from me and keeping it to yourself, what am I supposed to be, Mathias?” Lukas’ voice was cracking and he knew it, but it was something he had to say. Mathias on the other hand, was taken aback by the sudden interrogation.
“What? Lukas, you know that even without me saying it. I love you, how much more do I have to say it for you to understand?”
“Am I not allowed to know what you’re feeling? Am I not allowed to share your troubles? I am not a mere decoration, Kohler. Don’t think that you’re the only one who knows how to deal with emotions because as far as I’m concerned, you CAN’T.”
Mathias withdrew his hand and stood up then started walking to the door. “Is that really how weak you see me, Lukas?”
Lukas found the strength in his legs and trailed after him, ignoring the pain in his underside. “You know I don’t mean it that way.”
“You’re right. You’ve always been like that. You knew what to do and how to work with situations that were even against you. But what do I do? I laugh it off and think it’ll all blow away in the end.”
“That’s not what I mean!”
“I get it, Lukas.” Mathias turned away from him and strode out the door. Lukas could do nothing but look at him from where he stood.
This is a disaster.
“I’ll be home late. Don’t wait up for me.”
“Mathias, please.” And with that Mathias strode out the door, leaving Lukas in the middle of all his work naked and bare, emotions running high and tears streaming down his cheeks.
-----------------------
Mathias strode into the hallway, his heart pumping wildly into his chest. He had no right to be mad at Lukas when it was he was at fault. Moreover, he had put off something so important that he knew Lukas needed to know. He knew it was something he couldn’t continue hiding and that was the perfect moment. But…
I could destroy him. That’s the last thing this relationship needs. Another broken soul.
The hallway was empty and more or less silent except for the muffled voices coming from lecture rooms and a few students passing by from time to time. Outside was also in the same state. The sun was high so for sure students are either in class, in their dorms, eating out or simply lazing around. It was always around this time that school was devoid of people. But nothing could be emptier now than the void in the lone blond Dane walking along the cobblestone walkway of his college.
