Here's another story… enjoy…
Jealousy:
"Ryan…" Steve asked nervously, "… is there something… between you and Hok…?"
The older man was shocked to hear these words come out of his boyfriend's mouth. He had no clue where the random question came from, but it did leave him frozen in the middle of the empty dance room.
'Thank god everyone had left before this slipped out.' The older man thought to himself.
"Why do you ask?" Ryanimay responded slowly.
"Well… you two are always hanging out… and doing stuff together… and some of the stuff you do sometimes seems a little more than platonic…"
Now, the Filipino could see where the young man had gotten these thoughts. He and Hok were close. They were practically brothers, but there was nothing romantically between them, ever.
However, they had been hanging out a lot more recently, since the tutting man was constantly traveling in and out of town these past few months. The two were simply just catching up whenever the guy was around, but apparently the Japanese boy didn't catch on to that.
Ryanimay walked over to Steve, and gently wrapped his arms around the young man, giving him a tender hug. Then, he pulled him close and reached down to plant a soft kiss upon his lips.
"Listen," the older man whispered soothingly, "Hok and I are just friends. Nothing more. He is my brother, but not my lover. That title is reserved for you, and only you. Never forget that."
Steve smiled at the Filipino's response, and couldn't help but return the sweet hug, and nuzzle into the kind man's chest.
"Okay," the Japanese boy replied softly, "sorry I was acting so jealous, over something like that."
"It's okay. There's nothing wrong with being jealous. It just proves that you love me too much to lose me, and that makes me feel very loved, baby."
The older man gave his lover a soft smile, before he then dived down and sealed the younger one's lips in a tender, loving kiss.
