Gavin's friends were surprised to see that Gavin sips from Loui's drink. Loui asks Gavin's friends whether they have masturbated with Gavin before, to which they say no because Gavin does not like people touching him. Later that night, while in the bed, Gavin again tries to masturbate with Loui and Loui refuses.
P.O.V...
Gavin helps secure a new restaurant for Aunt while Loui learns of her success and expresses his gratitude. Amid visits with friends and playful teasing, Gavin's advances test Loui's boundaries, but Loui remains firm, balancing trust, care, and resistance.
Morning sunlight spilled through the windows as Loui scrolled through his phone, frowning.
"The food stall… it's gone," he said softly, showing the news article to Gavin. "Someone destroyed it."
Gavin's jaw tightened. "What? That's terrible. Don't worry. I'll fix it." He pulled out his phone and dialed quickly. "Uncle, I need a favor… yes, a place for Aunt's restaurant… Thank you."
Later that afternoon, they visited Gavin's uncle. The older man greeted them warmly.
"Gavin, you came for the restaurant?" he asked.
"Yes," Gavin said firmly. "Aunt deserves better. Can you help her get a proper space?"
"Of course," his uncle replied, smiling. "We'll sort it out."
Gavin grinned, crouching to scoop up a small, excited dog wagging its tail near the door. "And I'm taking this little guy with me," he said, hugging it close. Loui laughed softly.
At home, Loui's father approached him, a broad smile on his face. "Good news! Aunt got government approval to start a restaurant without a renting fee. Everything's official."
Loui blinked, surprised. "Really?"
"Yes. And it's all thanks to Gu Hai," his father said.
That evening, Loui found Gavin sitting quietly in the living room. He crossed the room, kneeling beside him.
"Thank you," Loui said softly. "For helping Aunt."
Gavin looked up, slightly embarrassed. "I didn't do much…"
"You did enough," Loui insisted, placing a hand over Gavin's. "I want you to… live with us."
Gavin's eyes widened. "You… really mean that?"
"Yes," Loui said firmly. "I want you here."
Later, they visited Gavin's friends at a small café. The group stared, wide-eyed, as Gavin casually sipped from Loui's drink.
"Gavin, you're… drinking from Loui's cup?" one friend exclaimed.
Gavin shrugged nonchalantly. "It's fine."
Loui tilted his head, smirking. "By the way… have any of you… ever… masturbated with him?"
The friends looked shocked. "No! Gavin doesn't like anyone touching him."
Gavin's cheeks tinted slightly red, and Loui leaned back, satisfied with their reactions.
That night, in the quiet of Loui's bedroom, Gavin shifted closer, a soft whisper against Loui's ear.
"You know… you could help me out," Gavin murmured, teasing yet gentle.
Loui's cheeks flamed. "No," he said firmly, turning slightly away.
Gavin sighed but smiled faintly. "Alright… I'll wait."
They lay together in silence, the faint hum of the city outside and the comfort of being near each other filling the room. Loui felt the warmth of Gavin beside him, the playful teasing, and the quiet trust that had grown between them. And even though he had refused, he knew this closeness—this intimacy—was enough for now.
The next morning, Loui woke to the familiar weight of Gavin's arm draped across his waist. He froze for a moment, then gently tried to shift away.
"Morning," Gavin murmured, his face buried in Loui's hair. "Don't move… you look peaceful like this."
"I have to get up," Loui whispered, but he didn't push too hard. A part of him didn't want to break the warmth of the moment.
Gavin tightened his hold slightly, teasing. "You're lying. You want to stay. Admit it."
"I'm not lying," Loui muttered, cheeks flushing. "I… I just can't sleep all day."
Gavin chuckled softly. "Fine, fine… but you look cute when you fight me."
Later, they rode together to check on Aunt's new restaurant space. Gavin pedaled the bicycle steadily while Loui clung to him, wincing occasionally from yesterday's bruises.
"You really didn't have to ride with me," Loui said, still feeling stubborn.
"You didn't have to walk," Gavin countered with a grin. "I'm taking care of you."
Loui's eyes softened, though he didn't let go of his pride. "You care a lot, huh?"
"I do," Gavin said simply, glancing back at him. "And you're worth it."
At the restaurant space, they found everything in order. Aunt's future looked secure, and Gavin's uncle smiled proudly at the sight of the young couple.
"You really pulled through for her," Loui said quietly, glancing at Gavin.
Gavin shrugged modestly. "She deserved it."
Loui reached out, brushing a hand along Gavin's. "Thank you… for everything. Really."
Gavin's fingers lingered against his. "You don't have to thank me," he murmured. "I like helping you… and her too."
That evening, back at Loui's home, they met Gavin's friends again. Loui's gaze followed every movement, and when Gavin casually sipped from his drink, the group's reactions were priceless.
"Gavin… you drink from Loui's cup?" one friend asked, astonished.
"Yeah… it's fine," Gavin replied casually.
Loui smirked, leaning closer. "By the way… have any of you… ever… you know… masturbated with him?"
The friends froze. "No! Gavin doesn't let anyone touch him!"
Gavin's cheeks flushed slightly, and Loui laughed softly, the sound warm and teasing. "See? You're all mine," he whispered, though Gavin's smile betrayed amusement rather than embarrassment.
Later that night, in the quiet of Loui's bedroom, Gavin shifted closer. His hand brushed against Loui's side.
"You know," he murmured softly, "you could help me… if you wanted."
Loui turned slightly away, cheeks burning. "I… I can't."
Gavin's hand lingered, tracing small, teasing patterns. "That's fine. I'll wait… as long as you want."
Loui felt the warmth of Gavin's body, the quiet reassurance behind the teasing. Even though he refused, he realized the closeness, the playful intimacy, and the trust they shared were enough.
"I… I trust you," Loui whispered finally.
Gavin smiled, resting his head gently near Loui's. "That's all I need for now."
They lay together in silence, hearts beating softly in the dark, the tension, teasing, and warmth between them building something stronger than words—something only they could understand.
