A blow job and a promotion
Leo had arrived the next day, Friday, at 8:30 am, even earlier than agreed with his black lover. Hazel had offered to take a taxi to the airport and he had jumped at the opportunity. From the taxi out of sight, he had taken a suitcase and filled it with clothes for 4 days, but no pajamas. He knew that his lover's body would keep him warm. He brought his uniform, so as not to have to come back on Monday morning, hoping that Raph would have an iron.
The return plane from Hazel was to land on Tuesday night at 10pm. He intended to spend every possible minute with Raph. He had an appointment in the afternoon with Donnie today. He didn't know what to do with it. Raph had asked him, at least six times, to go with him to the doctor, claiming that Usagi had the right to do so. It was also another issue.
Although he had never seen Leo's friend, he was extremely jealous of him, for inadvertently Leo had spoken of Usagi, who had helped him with a plumbing problem at his house. Usagi had privileges that Raph didn't have, like going to Leonardo's and accompanying him to the doctor and the fireman had complained a lot about that. Raph had even believed that Leo had always had a love affair with Usagi and convincing him otherwise had been very arduous. The policeman had no choice: either to bring Raph home, with the framed photographs of his marriage with Hazel everywhere, her many vintage dresses and her collection of porcelain cats, not to mention the yellow baby room almost ready or at Donatello's. The choice was easy. Donnie, in any case, didn't care much about his brother's friendships.
As soon as he arrived, Raph, already awake, seeing his suitcase and realizing that his lover was going to stay as promised, pushed him into the couch, snatched his pants and sucked his cock enthusiastically, licking and kissing his balls and entrance, fingering him and teasing his prostate until Leo fell apart and swallowing his bitter cum greedily. They made love then, but with Raph as the top dog, what happened rarely, only when Raph felt particularly happy. Leo didn't mind the shift, if Raph wag glad, he was too.
Then, they took breakfast in bed, as Raphael dreamed of doing for 3 weeks straight. They took their shower together, made love again and Leo announced that it was time for his appointment with Donatello. When he learned that he could accompany him, Raph had an expression of intense contentment. The heart of Leo nevertheless tightened in front of this mark of need for validation of his lover. Unfortunately, he had to lay down conditions to restrict the demonstrations of his black lover's public affection. If not, Raph would wreck everything: Donnie didn't care what Leo could do, as long as he was healthy, alive and happy. But, how much Donnie will mind his own business? He was a genius and to awaken his doubts, it took less than a very passionate man as the fireman was.
He offered to take his car and, subtly, prepared the fireman for his trickery. "You're going to go with me to Donnie, since it sounds so important to you, but you're likely to be bored. My brother takes his job very seriously and sometimes it takes two hours if something bugs him. I thought you could go to the sex shop at less than 10 minutes from Donnie, with my car. Get us some kinky surprises for the weekend.' Leo had hoped his suggestion would be enticing enough to convince Raph and so, keep him away from Donnie's office at least 40 minutes, but the firefighter frowned: "Usagi stays with ya during the whole appointment, right? I can be as patient as yer best bud" he snarled. "We'll go after the appointment. We do both annoying and exciting things together, like real couples do." he declared firmly, before shutting himself up abruptly.
Its was a slip of the tongue, made in the passion of the moment, but it was this kind of slip of the tongue that could ruin everything at Don's office. Raph, once he fully realized what he had said, glanced sideways at Leo and he wondered if it was the fireman's tongue that had slip or whether for days Raph had been waiting for an opportunity to say something like this. The black man was waiting for a confirmation and Leo sighed: "You win, we'll go together, but do not complain if you're bored."
"I won't" Raph replied eagerly, smiling as a child to whom his father had just offered the biggest ice cream, dipped in chocolate and covered with sweets, at Dairy Queen. "I love you, sweetheart, so, so much." Leo whispered. It wasn't the wisest thing to say in this situation and Raph's raw passion didn't need gasoline, but he can't help it. Raph was so real, so pure and honest. The policeman really loved him. Leo kissed his lover fiercely, at the red light, just before Don's.
At the last minute, before going down, to avoid Raph asking too many questions, Leo warned him to remain decent and not to display anything but friendship. The face of his lover writhing out of anger: "What the fuck?" Ya said ya loved me and sucked my face just 2 minutes ago? What the damn problem with yer bro? I wasn't ashamed to make out with ya in front of my Ma!"
Leo had no choice. The only way out was to lie: "Donnie doesn't know I'm ... bisexual, I don't want to tell him so brutally." Raph frowned: "And yer buddy Usagi, then ... Ya fucked with him more than one year. How did yer brother, supposedly so brilliant, haven't guessed it? " "He was too caught up in his medical studies," said Leo, knowing that Don was so aware of his relationship with Usagi, that he had given him a textbook on the healthy practice of sodomy.
Raphael remained silent for a moment. "Was that the only reason for yer refusal, before?" Leo nodded.
"Okay then ... but ya have to start preparing it. Ma catched me to making out, on my bed, with a high school friend and you saw her, she's fine with it. Yer brother will not be different. And yer dad? He knows it? " Leo refused to drag his honorable father into his lies and deceits. "Let's go down, Donnie is a very busy man, I don't want to keep him waiting. Be simple, don't overdo it. I'm a new friend, only that. " Leo explained, one last time.
"I want a big reward for that, "muttered the fireman, sulky. He wanted, so badly, showing off their love in front of the doctor. He knew that it was childish, but he thought that if Leo's family knew and accepted their relationship, the policeman would give himself more in their couple life.
Donnie just opened the door and Raph saw that the doctor immediately recognized him and didn't seem very happy to see him there. Leo's brother had acted with a very professional coolness in the hospital, and although Raphael was no longer his patient but a friend of his brother, Donatello seemed to have identified him as a trouble. At the hospital, Raph had believed this haughty attitude was due to exhaustion and a great anxiety for Leo and his arm, but here, while slightly embarrassed, Leo made the presentations, he couldn't deny it: his presence displeased to the doctor and not just a little. Raph shrugged his shoulders: he didn't care whether Leo's brother liked him or not. It didn't make things any easier, but if Donatello was a douchebag, its wasn't Raph fault, nor Leo.
He decided, because his lover was nervous, to make things easier and not to talk at all. He watched the sports news and played a card game on his phone and there, he got a text message from Casey. His brother reproached him for sulking their Ma for three weeks exactly and not having any news from him. He invited him to dinner at their apartment of his own and April, alone or with his "friend". April wanted to know if he would be there or not, right away, to do the shopping for the meal. Their Ma will not be here, but Casey asked him to call the poor woman and Raph made a loud sigh despite himself.
Leo turned his blue-gray eyes toward him: "What the matter Raph? I warned you that it was boring." Donnie wasn't looking, concerned about the connectors of the arm. "That's not that, my brother invites me to his place tonight, he wants me to call Ma, because of the last time, ya know?" The doctor didn't seem to care about their conversation, but Leo gave him a worried look. Raph couldn't resist pushing his luck. After all, this didn't go beyond the friendship.
"My bro's girlfriend wants to know how many people will be there". Leo glared at him, not misunderstanding the meaning of the question and thinking that Donnie, under his professional air, had to understand it as well.
Leo wanted to shrug his shoulders, but Don holds him back with a "tsss" of disapproval. "I don't know Raph, but you can go out to make your phone call. Donnie need silence to focus.
Ulcerated, as it seemed that the features of the doctor expressed satisfaction at seeing him thrown out of his cabinet by Leo, Raph came out. He understood that Leo, having such an asshole as a brother, wanted to go slowly with him, but Raph didn't have to pay for it, damn it!
Pissed off, outside the doctor's house with nothing to let off steam, he called Casey directly. His brother, inviting him, had reopened a wound. Since dinner at Ma, three weeks ago, his relationship with Leo wasn't more official and he was sick of playing the "he's just a friend" act about him. That gave him the air of a cunt, his deep love for the policeman was more than apparent, even more for his family. He didn't even say "Hello" to his brother and attacked: "I had enough damn dinner for a lifetime, at least. Leave me alone, shit!"
« Relax, man", got angry Casey, "I thought it would just be nice to meet your new boyfriend. Ma said he's a good man for you. " The honest explanation upset Raph deeply. He knew as well that Leo was a good man for him. Damn, is was obvious at all. Only this motherfucker of Leonardo seemed unaware of this fact. Or maybe the policeman wasn't convinced that he, Raphael, was a good man for him, as he feared increasingly, as his lover evaded all his attempts.
And Leo was not yet officially his boyfriend, no matter what Casey and his Ma thought, despite that Raph sucked off the captain every day. He had let slip a word on them as "a couple" earlier, but that sneaky son of a bitch of Leonardo had yet managed to dodge the matter, too smoothly to raise issues, as always.
Raph couldn't explain it to his brother without looking like a fool. He sighed, "Case, I just want to stay in private for a while, maybe later, man."
"What do you mean « for a while »? No one ever sees you, now!" Casey's anxiety was obvious "One of our common friends, I don't tell you who, told me he saw you completely fucked up at Dusty's, two week ago. He was worried. I'm worried. Ma says that your friend is a good guy, but if you're to isolate yourself and be geeked, I prefer you single, bro."
Raphael struggled with the temptation to hang up: Casey had good intentions and most of all, he didn't want him to tell the episode of Raph coked up, to their Ma. She would be worried too and she could blame Leonardo for that. His Ma was still blaming Chame for his marijuana pipe, four years later. Raph wished that, in case his relationship with Leo should become official, as he wishes, his family would keep a good opinion of the captain.
"Listen, Case ... Leo is a man who works a lot and you know he lost an arm during the attack… I'm at the doctor's office with him right now, I don't have much time alone with him and I want to spend some intimate moment, ya know…"
Casey said nothing for a moment and then, posed the worst possible question ever for Raphael, now: "Does he make you happy?". It was a damn fucking complicated question. Leo made him happy like nobody could, when he was with him, but depress as hell, when he left. But Leo was going to spend the whole weekend with him and he introduced Raph to his brother, the asshole in the lab coat. "I love him," he whispered. This wasn't the answer to the question, but Raph had no other to give.
The man on the phone gave a long sigh:
« Well ... you almost have 29 years old, man, so I wouldn't tell you what I think. I guess you know what you're doing. When you're ready to see other people, call me » Casey answered before hanging up, leaving Raph tormented. He knew that his brother would not denounce him to their Ma, but he knew that Casey would not drop the case, neither.
With the comment of his brother, he suddenly remembered that Thanksgiving and his birthday was approaching. Raph had never made much of his birthday, but Ma, yes, and always celebrated it on Thanksgiving Day, in the same week as the day he was born. If Raph didn't come of his own free will, for eating the fucking turkey and the damn mashed potatoes, Ma or Casey, or both, would literally pull him out of his apartment, through his braids, to her home.
And after, it will be Christmas. It had been so long that he hadn't had someone to share the holiday season with.
He nervously passed his hand through his tight braids. He had no reason to worry: Christmas was far away; Thanksgiving too and the weekend ahead will be fantastic. Leo had spoken of going to the sex shop and he was finally going to sleep and wake up with his lover in his arms, after this kinky bastard made him scream of pleasure all night long with theirs new sex toys.
He decided to return to Leo and at the same time, plant the seed. Leo and he never spoke of birthday or holiday. Himself was unaware of Leo's birthday. But what he knew was that if he presented himself on next thursay, without Leonardo, he would have to answer a lot of questions and Leo would be discredited for ever. It couldn't happen. He couldn't bear it.
The stress took him by the throat. He needed courage: the situation was bad, Raphael was afraid that Leo would refuse, without giving reason, as usual or that he insists too much and that Leo turns the back without a glance behind him as the last time, the day of Halloween.
Besides, Leo was with his damn brother with whom Raph had to pretend to be a friend to Leo, which obviously had far more trouble to do for him than for the captain himself. Acting as if Leonardo was indifferent, just a friend, seemed very easy to the policeman. Natural. Was he just a friend to Leonardo? Did Leo have other friends of the same kind? Other friends to whom he whispered sweet words of love and that he would fuck ruthlessly, after?
The jealousy, the insecurity, the anxiety to ask for something simple like to come to his birthday, the day of Thanksgiving, and fear even to be told no, made Raphael collapse. He walked into the doctor's office and immediately headed to the bathroom next to the exam room. He hadn't taken cocaine for two weeks, well not much, really. A rail, sometimes in the afternoon, when Leo didn't answer his text messages, but not to often and every evening when Leo left him to his empty bed. He always kept a bag on him, now, in case the vacuum would take him somewhere, as if it was a parachute.
He lined up two lines with his credit card, pulled out his little metal straw of the pocket of his jacket and snorted them one after the other. Then, he looked at himself for a moment in the mirror, over the sink, until he realized that the drug was going to do his thing quickly enough for him to face his lover. A part of his mind knew that, to get jacked up in front of a policeman and a doctor, was not prudent. But Raphael was way too stressed out for giving a damn about caution.
On leaving the bathroom, finally, after making sure that his nose had no trace of sugar, he heard the doctor talking before he came in. "Leo, I know you, I've never seen you so tired of my life, you don't work 15 hours a week at the station and I wonder if it's not too much! Insurance even pays maintenance service for your backyard! You don't have to mow the lawn or pick up the leaves! Do you still wake up to the dawns for your fucking jogging or your crazy meditation! You can do it at any other time of the day! You harass me to work full time again, but I wouldn't allow it under these conditions. "
Raph's heart contracted. How Leo, who left him to work and come see him again, only after his work, could only less than 15 hours a week? He clenched his fists. He knew it from the beginning: Leo was lying to him. A lot. Suddenly, the only idea of being able to bring Leo to his birthday, as a real boyfriend, seemed to him unfeasible. Leo pretended to love him, but that wasn't true. If he had so much free time, Leo would pass them with him. Raphael had never been an emotional addict. Affectionate, passionate and fierce, but never that kind of love junkie. And it must have been for a man so temperate in his affection! Leo became expressive with his cock. His cock loved Raphael. Truly. But, for the rest, this asshole lied as he breathed.
Leo's brother seemed concerned and mumbled a " I come back» and passed by Raphael. The doctor gave him a more meaningful look than a "Not Trespassing, Private Land" sign, but Raph didn't give a damn.
The blue almond shaped eyes settled on him and Leo made him one of those sad, enigmatic smiles that Raph seriously began to hate. "Hey Raph, what did your brother want?" Leo asked gently. How could a being with such a sweet voice could be a motherfucker liar? "I already told ya, a dinner" he answered harshly. "Oh, are we going? I was looking forward to seeing your Ma again." Raph, destabilized by the answer, forgot his rancor and rage a moment.
« Ya want to go there?" The fireman asked in amazement. "It's our first weekend together and I want to do whatever please you, my love." Leonardo replied, serious.
"I've already refused, I want to be with ya, only ya, I want all yer attention, for once." He tried to control his anger: Leo had spoken of the first weekend, so he would have another one. Leo would have accepted dinner, so he might come to Thanksgiving. Leo had called him « my love »...
No, he wouldn't allow himself to be coaxed again.
Leo smiled: "I may not give you all the time you want, but when I'm with you, you have all my attention."
Raph couldn't deny that, even if it was only the attention of Leo's cock he had, especially, but he was still pissed off about the 15 hours. The black man opted for an indirect confrontation. It wasn't the best place or time to do it, but he couldn't wait, anger boiling his coked-up blood.
« So, you too, ya get your medical leave extended" Raph asked, with an angry smile.
Leo sighed, "No, I'm going to work full time in two weeks. I have already started working more, 4 full days. I have another doctor for that. Long story, I'll explain later. If Donnie knows, he'll be furious, "Leo said, lowering his voice.
Raphael said nothing, then: I want a fucking good explanation, because I wait all day long a jerk who works a dozen hours a week, only.
Leo promised, but was interrupted by indignant oaths. Donatello returned and his anger was impressive to see. Instinctively, Raphael, seeing the doctor rushing over to his brother, with the evident intention of shaking him or striking him, placed himself between them. "You dirty little hypocrite, I knew, I knew it," shouted the doctor from behind Raphael, trying to push the muscular black man. "You went back to see one of those incapables to get a paper to go back to work! I don't care if you're going to be named the new deputy inspector of the precinct in December. You're not ready! You hardly stand up! But, you can lie in your coffin with your uniform and your new badge. I'm done with you! "yelled Donnie, throwing his arms in the air. "Now get out of my office and fuck up your life, I don't give a shit about you anymore"
Raph wanted to intervene, finding the words unnecessarily harsh. He was once again ready to defend Leo, against all. His lover hadn't lied to him. With his work, his new promotion, his appointments with two different doctors, his lover could be busy. His heart was filled with pride, although it was not the moment. His boyfriend would be a deputy inspector, in charge of the precinct. So, what about the crazy bitch? He didn't ask the question, on his ninth cloud, thinking what Ma would say, knowing his lover so high-ranked.
But Leo holds him back and without a word, got up to go out. Raphael followed him, geeked, not angry or suspicious anymore, glad to no longer be in the oppressive office with the dirty rat in the lab coat that Leo called his brother and so excited to spend a weekend alone with his lover to celebrate his promotion.
As soon as they sat in the car, Raph kissed him passionately, while they were still standing in front of Donnie's. Leo slowly broke the kiss: "What's going on with you? You looked like mad, just five minutes ago, why change?"
"Stop complaining, dumbass and drive us to the 7 eleven " replied, eagerly the other man.
Leo, in a hurry not to be visible from Donnie's windows, turned the ignition key. "Why? » did he ask, curious about the reason for going to a convenience store "We'll park behind and I'll give ya the blow-job of your life." Raphael explained, too much excited for the understanding of Leo.
"You are crazy? That can wait until you get home, right? It is very tempting, but we are daytime in the open. What's into you? " Leo frowned, despite he started to be turned on. Hazel never gave him a fellatio and he began to be addicted at all those giving by his generous lover.
" Yar going to have a promotion. That's the reason ya were so busy. Not because you didn't care about me. I would never doubt ya again, babe. I'm so excited. My awesome boyfriend will be deputy inspector." He exclaimed, too far excited to watch his word and monitoring Leo's expression at.
The joy of Raph was so beautiful to see, more breathtaking than a sunrise. Raph couldn't have known that Leo had applied to the post in an attempt not to go to his lover anymore. He had blamed his free time for his inability to resist the temptation to see the black man. He had seen a doctor, affiliated with the police station, and learned at the same time that Karai became an inspector in the neighboring precinct. He had been offered the position for his 13 years of service and courage, but Leo knew it was a compensation for his arm. He had thought that, busy, he wouldn't think of deceiving Hazel with the fireman anymore. But he was wrong and Leo used the promotion to explain to Hazel his delays at home and the fact that he was leaving earlier the morning. Not having Karai, still around him, to breathe on his neck, in two weeks was a consolation, but the surplus of responsibilities, juggling with his double life, exhausted him. Donnie was right. He must have looked like shit. He was a piece of shit, anyway. His remorse, his cheating, his complicated schemes to elaborate alibis and excuses for the two loves of his life, seeking to coax them both, slowly killed him, kept him awake at night.
But being a witness of the radiating happiness of his lover's golden pupils, he forgot, wanting to focus on the present moment: "Are you a gold digger?" he joked with a sad smile. He didn't want to have noticed Raph calling him his awesome boyfriend. Leo was far of awesome, but Raph had the right to think that he was his boyfriend and he wasn't going to take away his illusions, not yet, when he wanted to offer him a romantic and sexy weekend.
"Shut-up and drive faster, ya moron. I love ya and I'm proud of ya, that's all. I don't give a damn about yer money, babe. You can lose all yer limbs and yer cash, I would love yer dork face anyway. But, in case, watch to don't lose yer cock "Raphael laughed.
Leo didn't deserve this pure love. A deeper and deeper love, every day spent, while he was more just a jerk. Raph deserved so much better: his love was a raw diamond. Leo's was nothing but filth, treachery and lies.
Leo, arrived, parked and looked at his lover, smile on his lips and tears almost to his eyes, but Raph was too far out of his mind for paying attention " Look casual baby, if ya don't wanna be the deputy inspector with an arrest for indecent behavior". Raph suggested, in a hoarse voice, leaning toward the driver's lap.
