Note: This is a slash, meaning, both men falling in love, so don't say I didn't warn you.
Hope you'll enjoy this as well as had a great first shot in making this... :)
It was just a normal day, when we have nothing to do, we trained, do things we wanted to do... However, everytime I went training & whenever I go, Keegan was there with me no matter what. Ever since we've met in No Man's Land, he was kinda close with me sometimes at first since me & my brother "look lost". I thought it was only to keep me from getting caught, I am pretty sure there was more to that... And ever since he said to me "Watch and learn kid", I felt kinda weird, a feeling that I was confused with. Everytime, I sit in the couch to rest & lay off for a while, Keegan would come here & sit in a chair nearby, reading a book or a novel, and occasionally, he would say to me about the part he read & when I fall asleep in the couch while Keegan was still here, I wake up in the middle of the night in my bed, I always wandered who would do that, to carry me. I find it ridiculuous if it was Keegan, but he was the only with me. He's the only one other than Hesh, dad & Riley who would stick around with me almost always...
During a mission, Keegan caught me & pinned me to the floor, which saved me from a shot fired. Keegan was on top of me, laying down on me, face to face, I felt myself nervous & my cheeks were a bit hot & red, luckily, face paint were covering them, but somehow, Keegan seem to notice it & slightly grinned, which made me even more goddamn nervous. "You okay kid?" he got up & lend me a hand & I grabbed his to pull me up. "Yeah, thanks."
Training was finished & I went to the locker room to have a shower. While I was in the shower, with the warm shower raining down on me as the water flowed through my face & bare body with the steam surrounding me like a mist, I was lost in my thoughts about Keegan since the last mission... I felt sentimental about how he treated me, and to my realization, I love him. Fuck, I actually like like him, though I only see him in his mask most of the time, there were times he was unmask, but I didn't get to clearly see his face, but I always somehow like his arctic blue eyes that shine. But I don't know if he does feel the same for me, he's always mysterious & quiet, never spoke that much. Everytime I ask a question to him, he always respond with a short answer despite how he treated me. Does he... No it can't be, how will he feel if he knows how I feel for him? Man... This is gonna be fucked up, but I have to know for sure... I thought to myself as I turned the shower off, grabbed a towel & went to my locker to change when I saw Keegan at his locker, looking for his clothes as well, also nude, wearing his towel around his waist, I looked at his scars that went through his abdomen & chest as well as his arms.
"Kid, you okay?" he caught me seeing him & I realized I've been staring at him for a while, I snapped out from my stare...
"Um yeah..." Of course I lied to him, god, he looks hot, though I only saw his body, I only got a glimpse of his face, but it wasn't clear & I went back to looking for my clothes...
It was already night, laying in my bed, looking up the ceiling steadily with darkness surrounding me with the window next to me with only moonlight shining through. Today, we have managed to take down a Federation ship with Keegan. I could never forget what happened when I got pinned down by the falling lighthouse & I nearly died when Keegan saved me & gave me an OK sign, "You okay?". "Yeah Keegan, thank god you came..." just then, I was pulled in his arms & embraced me tightly, "God Logan, you scared the shit out of me, I could've lost you!". Those words got me, my eyes widened, Keegan sounded worried as he hugged me tightly while hugged back to calm him before we broke off & we went to escape...
As I look at my clock, it's 2am. I've been thinking about what happened back in the ocean with me & Keegan. Then, a knock came in, breaking my stare of, which I was surprised by the knock, I thought it was Hesh, but I remembered he was on a mission.
"Who is it?" As I call the person to come in, the door opened, the moonlight shined the person's face but masked, it was Keegan...
"Hey Logan, mind if I come in?" his voice was low since everyone's asleep
"Yeah sure" I sat up just as he comes in & closes the door
He then sat next to me, "Are you okay?". "Well, I got a few broken bones & bruises, but I'll be fine, my injuries are already covered in bandage..." I slightly smiled at him, happy to see him, which I never felt to others other than Hesh, after all, he's my big brother, always with me. Keegan was somehow all a bit similar to Hesh... But the way he treated me is more than just how brothers look out for each other... "I am glad you're alright kid, I would've freaked out." Keegan smiled at me, chuckling a bit when I felt my right hand enveloped by his. We looked at each others' hands, noticing we were holding hands before we looked at each other, our faces were like mirrored, feeling sentimental while I only slightly blushed. Silence fell for a moment... I finally decided to ask him why he's been treating me like that for the past few months...
"Keegan, what was this about? From the other mission& back down in the water..." I was curious, was that brotherhood, friendship or whatever... Keegan looked away, I can tell he was uncomfortable despite his Ghost mask, he felt nervous. I then grasped his hand to reassure him, which he grasped my hand back our hands held tight to each other like a bridge...
"Logan...kid...can we please not do this, please? I don't know... I mean, I am just a type of awkwardness that's worse than you think.. You might -." he was stuttering a bit, I leaned over to him & held his shoulder with my free hand & gave him a reassuring smile, "Just tell me Keegan...", it calmed him down a bit. He closed his eyes, looking like he's trying to concentrate & breathing deeply. We both knew this, there is no turning back, finally, he spoke...
"OK, I'll straight this up... I am completly damn crazy for you. Your constant sleep talking, the way you interact with the others, I never felt this before. Fuck... crazy ain't enough, I...I...I love you... Your constantly messy blond hair, your gorgeous eyes, the way you laughed, smiled, talk to your family, how you weren't intimidated by me despite how silent I am. The way you...the way you make me feel, it came to me like a flood & it all started since we met in No Man's Land..."
Oh shit... It's true, he did feel the same...and fuck he was looking away, still uncomfortable before he finally looked at me & spoke again...
"Logan, I love you alright, but if you don't feel the same, then I am sorry, maybe...maybe I should go, yeah maybe I have to..." he stuttered & lets my hand go & hurried to the door, paniced, I grabbed his arm & kept him seated on the bed, a small gasped he made, which made him nervous... He then turned to me, his eyes fluttering & a bit watery.
"Keeg, I loved you from the moment you said 'Watch and learn kid'. That really hit me, I never felt like this, I always knew you're the one who carried me to my bed when I fell asleep in the couch, times you've told me the best parts from the books you've read, the way you laugh & you're eyes that match that of the clear blue crystal sky. God Keegan, I love you too... Why would I never felt the same for you?"
His eyes widened, he was surprised that I felt the same for him before I asked him innocently "Can I see your face? Please? I didn't get to see your face completely..."
He haven't answered yet, I had a feeling he doesn't want to since he's not much of a people person, he doesn't open up that much... Finally, he answered
"Alright..." surprisngly, he did as he slowly pulls away his mask & there I finally saw his face, even with the face paint, he looks good-looking. I held my hand to his face, wanting to feel his cheeks sliding while he leaned down on my touch.
"So...what do you think?"
"Wow, you...look...look...handsome..." I was filled with awe on how I saw his face. Then, our faces suddenly started to slowly drew closer to each other before finally all of the space was gone as our lips connect. Man, compared to how I kissed to my dates in high school, this felt great, I felt a spark as we continued to kiss, synching. It was meaningful, passionate & sensible. We moaned as our tongues danced each other in our mouths. It lasted for a while, as we finally broke off, our lips red, wet & bruised. We then breathed heavily as we rest in each others' forehead, "So Keegan, are we gonna go on a date?" I whispered breathlessly...
"Oh yeah definitely, we're going to find a good place to eat... After all, it's a free day..." his voice was raspy & made a small laugh as I also laughed, our hands still held on each others' backs. Keegan then squeeze into my bed, laying down with me just as I lay down first, I curled into his chest while he held me in his arms, "Are you happy with that kid?" he looked down on me as I raised my head to see him, I nodded him for a yes, "Well, um, can we do it again?" I asked lamely, which was embarassing, Do you really have to ask him like that Logan? But then, he leaned in & we kissed once again, that spark came in again, the warmth that I always felt that I also love to feel. It lasted for a minute before we broke off & I placed my into his chest while he buried his head into my hair & I began to fall asleep...
"...Mmmmm Good night, Keegan, I love you..."
"Love you too kid, night..." I felt him smile as I also slightly smiled before we both fell asleep...
I hope you enjoyed it, this is my first shot in making a slash, however, this is just the chapter, so expect there will be more later on in the future. Reviews are good, I gonna need thoughts so that I can make the future chapters great...
See ya ;)
