Fall For You

Act VII: Seduction

"Thirty days; give me thirty days to show you my love for you is true and to convince you to give me your heart."

Yuri was lying in his bed with his eyes wide open despite the late hour. His thoughts kept coming back to the previous evening. After telling him that, Flynn had stayed over for a while and they cuddled together in a comfortable silence. Yuri had felt warm inside as he lied inside his new lover's arms.

Flynn made him feel things he thought he would never feel again. Yuri would gladly give into his feelings and give all of himself to Flynn, but he could not. His fear was preventing him from doing so. He guessed the only thing he could do then was just wait and see how things would turn out.

Yuri sighed loudly. It was going to be a long night.


Day 1

Fortunately for Yuri, he had no classes this morning. Like he predicted, he barely slept through the night. Yuri managed to get a little shut-eye during the morning and he woke up later than he expected. Usually, when he had no classes in the morning, Yuri still went to college for lunch time to spend time with his friends and Flynn.

Today would be an exception, since it was already too late for that. If he did not get up right now, he would even be late to his class. With a loud sigh, he pulled himself out of his bed. However, the idea of seeing Flynn today gave him some energy back. Since when did he become such a love-struck idiot? It was surely Flynn rubbing out on him.

Once at college, Yuri was in front of his locker, taking the things he would need for his class when he felt a presence behind him. Soon, a hot breath puffed against his ear, sending shivers down his spine.

"Hi, Yuri," a familiar voice whispered against his ear.

Yuri turned around to see Flynn looking at him with a fond smile on his lips. The sight made all of the dark haired male's coherent thoughts flee him. It was even worse when Flynn leaned in to drop a quick kiss on his lips. When they parted, Yuri looked around. The blonde noticed it and frowned.

"Yuri, what's wrong?" he asked gently.

Yuri was soon looking at him with a raised eyebrow. "You don't care if people see us?" he asked in a low tone.

Flynn shrugged his shoulders. "No. I'm not ashamed of going out with you, so why should I hide it?" the blonde replied.

Yuri did not know what to answer to that. Flynn took advantage of Yuri's lack of response. He wrapped his arms around Yuri's slender waist and pushed him gently against the row of lockers. He leaned in to whisper against his boyfriend's lips.

"In fact, I really want to show the whole world that you're mine." The possessiveness Flynn showed thrilled Yuri.

Flynn did not wait for any answer. He pressed his lips against Yuri's again, but this time it was not a chaste kiss. The blonde felt Yuri respond to the kiss. The dark haired male grabbed Flynn's shirt and pulled him closer. Flynn happily complied and kept his lover tightly pressed against him as they kissed.

When Yuri broke the kiss, Flynn did not miss the way his cheeks flushed a faint tint of red. Still, the dark haired male did not untangle himself from Flynn's embrace.

"Can you at least wait until Judy and Estelle know about us before being all clingy in public? I want to tell them before they find out like this," Yuri said in an awkward tone, avoiding the blonde's eyes.

Flynn was tempted to tease Yuri about how adorable he looked right now, but he thought that if he did, he would be in for a world of pain. He nodded, releasing Yuri.

"That's fine with me, as long as we tell them today," Flynn answered.

Yuri cringed at the thought of Judith and Estelle knowing. He did not even want to imagine their reactions, but they had to tell them, or else they would find out eventually and Judith would likely be mad to be kept in the dark so long. Flynn and Yuri would have to tell them after the rehearsal later.

Yuri sighed. "Okay," he answered with a bothered expression that made Flynn laugh. He leaned closer to Yuri with a wide smile on his lips.

"You do realize you just gave me the permission to be all clingy with you?" he said in a whisper.

Yuri's eyes widened. "No, I didn't," he replied quickly.

Flynn laughed. "Yes, you did!" he taunted, which earned him a good jab in the ribs.

Yuri gathered his things and closed his locker before storming off in the direction of their shared class. While Flynn caught up to him and apologized, Yuri wondered in what he got himself involved into.


For some time now, Flynn had taken the habit of sitting next to Yuri in class. It was the only thing that prevented Yuri to take a much needed nap in class. The raven haired male took a liking at observing Flynn. He found the concentrated expression the blonde wore in class really cute. Not only that, but Flynn only wore his glasses in class or when he was doing homework.

Yuri found out some time ago that Flynn was hot with his glasses on. They were not big enough to really hide his stunning eyes that Yuri loved so much, but they brought him a strange sense of sex-appeal. It took Yuri a lot of self-control not to jump his boyfriend when he was wearing them. To resist his urges, the dark haired male forced his gaze towards the window in a bored fashion.

Yuri's attention was drawn in front of the class when the teacher suddenly stopped talking. Yuri frowned when he saw someone standing in front of the classroom, holding a bunch of red roses. What the hell...? Excited murmurs were heard all around the classroom. The teacher stared oddly at the man with the flowers.

"Yes? Can I help you?" the teacher asked.

The man looked at a paper he was holding. "Yes. I was told to deliver these flowers to... hum... Yuri Lowell," he said and looked at the students seated in the class.

Every pair of eyes was on Yuri in a second. The latter's eyes widened and he flushed bright red. What? For him?

The teacher pointed towards Yuri and the delivery guy went to him, offering him the roses. Yuri was too stunned to do anything but take them. Still in a dazed state, Yuri read the message attached to them.

I will love you until the last rose wither.

Looking up, Yuri noticed that amongst the roses, there was an artificial one. Yuri's skin grew even redder as he understood the implied meaning of the note. He chanced a glance at Flynn. His lover was smiling fondly at him. The dark haired male quickly diverted his gaze and tried to ignore the feeling of Flynn's burning gaze on him. It was as hard to ignore as the excited squeaks of the girls all around him.

The teacher was the one to bring Yuri's embarrassment over the top.

"Mr. Lowell, not that your love life isn't fascinating, but we have more important matters to attend to, if you would," he said with an amused edge to his voice.

Embarrassed beyond measure, Yuri dropped the flowers on his desk with a grunt and banged his forehead against the hard surface. He wanted to die right now.

Flynn almost laughed at Yuri's reaction. He admitted he might have gone a little over the top for the first day, but he did not regret it. The look on Yuri's face was totally worth it. It was so cute. Flynn wanted to double his efforts to see this kind of expression as often as possible. With what he had planned, it would surely not be that difficult...


When class was over, Flynn never saw Yuri leave a classroom that quickly. His lover gathered his things and took the flowers before quickly leaving the room. Flynn followed after him and caught up to Yuri when the latter was trying to open his locker with shaking hands. When Yuri saw Flynn approach, he turned towards him and glared at him.

"I can't believe you! Sending me flowers, in the middle of the class?" he seethed and his cheeks reddened.

Flynn did not know if it was out of embarrassment or anger. The blonde guessed it was a mix of both. He smiled sweetly at Yuri.

"But you like them, don't you? You took them with you," Flynn said with amusement.

The blush on Yuri's face darkened and he turned his gaze back on the lock of his locker. He opened it in a harsh gesture and dropped the flowers in it along with his things. He closed his locker and when he turned back to Flynn, he was glaring even harder at him.

"Don't ever do something like that again. I'm not a girl, damn it!" he seethed.

Flynn was not impressed by his lover's angry fit. He was tempted to gather Yuri into his arms, knowing it would immediately calm his fury, but he remembered what Yuri asked before the class. Instead, he merely smiled apologetically at Yuri.

"I'm sorry, Yuri, but that's just how I am. I'm dating you and I want to show you how much I love you and how precious you are to me. You'll have to bear with me," the blonde explained softly.

He saw Yuri pale visibly and something shone in his eyes: apprehension.

"Don't tell me you intent to keep on doing things like that?" Yuri asked with a white voice.

Flynn's smile turned brighter. "Of course! I'm a romantic guy and I intend to show it to you every day," Flynn answered happily.

Yuri frowned. "You're kidding, right?" he said.

Flynn got closer to Yuri and wrapped an arm around his shoulders, gently probing Yuri to begin moving towards the rehearsal room. He dropped a sweet kiss on Yuri's forehead.

"No, I'm not. I want to take care of you, Yuri. And after thirty days, you'll give me your heart. I'll work hard to gain it," Flynn said happily.

Yuri blushed furiously at his boyfriend's words. Seeing him so happy, he did not have the heart to be mad at him anymore for the flowers. He still snorted in annoyance.

"You're really confident, aren't you?" he muttered.

Flynn laughed. "Of course! It's just a matter of time before you fall to my charms," Flynn teased.

Yuri felt the need to sigh. He began to regret accepting dating Flynn.

When they arrived near the rehearsal room, Flynn released his hold on Yuri. They had agreed on doing as if they were not dating until they told at least their friends Estelle and Judith. They entered the room, walking side by side in a normal fashion. Everyone was already there. Flynn and Yuri walked towards their friends, all seating in the front rows before the stage. When Judith saw them, a strange gleam appeared in her eyes.

Before the two lovers even had time to place one word, a smile appeared on the blue haired girl's lips and she said out loud; "Are you two dating?"

The result was immediate. Yuri's entire face turned a lovely shade of red. Flynn's cheeks also burned up, but it was less obvious than his lover. Estelle, who was sitting next to Judith, did not miss her friend's words. She let out a very audible, delighted squeal.

"You're dating?" she exclaimed loudly with unhidden joy.

Her voice was so loud that everyone in the room heard it and soon, every pair of eyes were on both of them. Yuri's face turned to an even deeper shade of red as exclamations of surprise were heard all around them. Yuri clenched his fists in fury.

"What's with you two! We aren't even touching! Where did you get that idea?" he exclaimed, outraged to have been found out so easily.

Judith's smile turned sly. "It's a woman's intuition. You also have a huge hickey right there," Judith pointed out as she motioned to the dark haired male's neck.

Yuri quickly covered the evidence and glared darkly at Flynn. The blonde did not look guilty about it; only uneasy about the whole situation.

"So, is it true?" Judith added with excitement.

Yuri wanted to deny it, but Flynn beat him to it. "Yes, it's true," he answered in an uneasy tone.

Silence filled the room. Yuri was so embarrassed that he wanted to hide in a dark corner and die. Flynn looked worriedly at their teammates. He feared their reactions. He realized several seconds later that he should not have doubted them. Their companions all talked again at the same time and many of the troupe members congratulated them. Some others – Rita was one of them – told them they had the right to do whatever they wanted with their lives. The rest – it was all girls, including Judith and Estelle – seemed to be in heaven.

Only when Raven's voice echoed through the room did Flynn and Yuri realize the director had said nothing since their arrival.

The older man had a huge grin on his lips as he said in an amused voice; "You know, guys, that's not exactly what I had in mind when I told you to "get to know each other better". But I guess you won't have a problem with kissing scenes now, huh?" The director's comment made everyone laugh.

As if it was not enough, Raven added as his smile grew devious; "So, who's the girl? Oh, forget what I just said. I already know that."

Raven's eyes went to Yuri. Outrage mixed with Yuri's embarrassment.

"Hey! Why did you decide something like that?"

Judith chuckled sweetly. "Come on, Yuri. You're already playing Juliet. That much should be obvious," her comment was met by many other laughs.

Flynn chuckled silently, but Yuri heard him. He violently jabbed him in the ribs, but it did not stop the blonde. Yuri wanted to die right now. He just wished that embarrassing day could end soon.


Day 2

Yuri understood Flynn was not joking about his intentions as soon as the second day came. When Yuri opened his locker at school, his eyes widened and he froze in place at what he saw. Someone had taken the liberty to redecorate his locker, and the raven haired male had no problem guessing who.

Sketches of him with Flynn were plastered all over his locker. There were also some love notes handwritten as well. Yuri quickly closed his locker before someone else saw what atrocity it had become. Okay, this was going too far. Yuri's gaze darkened. Someone would have to answer to that, and Yuri knew just where that person probably was right now.

Just as he thought, when Yuri arrived at the library, he saw a familiar blonde sitting at one of the tables, busy doing some homework. Yuri silently made his way to Flynn and once he was standing behind him, he leaned against the blonde's back and circled his neck lovingly. Flynn was startled for a second since he was not aware of Yuri's presence. Before he had time to turn his face around, Yuri leaned towards his ear.

"Good morning, Flynn," he whispered in a seductive tone.

Flynn smiled and was about to greet his lover back when Yuri violently slapped him across the head.

"Ow!" Flynn exclaimed and many glares were sent his way by the other people seating silently in the library.

The blonde turned around and looked with wide eyes at a seething Yuri.

"What's gotten into you?" he whispered unbelievingly.

Yuri glared at his lover. "That's my line! Decorating my locker? What the hell?" Yuri seethed in a low voice.

Flynn raised an eyebrow, now visibly amused. "What, you don't like it?" he whispered back.

Yuri's gray eyes darkened even more. "No, I don't. How the hell did you find out the combination to open it, anyway?" the raven haired male asked with discontentment.

Flynn smile turned brighter. "I asked Judith. She gladly gave it to me," Flynn answered.

He almost laughed at the annoyed face Yuri pulled at his answer. Yuri made a mental note not to tell anything to Judith anymore. They were ganging up on him.

Flynn regained his serious and his expression soon turned to a dejected one.

"You really don't like it?" he asked.

Yuri stared at Flynn's pitiful expression. He reminded Yuri of a kicked puppy. The blonde was cheating. How could Yuri be mad at him when he was looking like that? He was not playing fair! Yuri pointed a finger at Flynn's face and opened his mouth to reply harshly when Flynn's expression saddened even more. Yuri's resolve wavered and his anger died down. He cursed under his breath.

"Just... just don't do that again, okay?" he said in a tone that was not as harsh as Yuri had intended to.

Damn it, why did he feel so weak when around Flynn? It was maddening!

Yuri did not let Flynn the time to place another word. He turned around and walked away from him, leaving the library in a hurry. At first, Flynn was too surprised to react in any way, but soon, a smile painted his lips. He just found out one of his boyfriend's weaknesses and he would be damned if he did not exploit it.


Day 3

"Are you going to be okay to close the shop, Ellie?" Yuri asked his co-worker as he removed his apron.

The young woman dismissed Yuri with a move of her hand.

"I'll be fine! Anyways, my boyfriend will come pick me up. You don't have to worry," she said happily.

Yuri smiled cheekily at the girl as he put his work tools in their respective place.

"I wasn't worrying. I just don't feel like coming here tomorrow morning and find the place all messed up," he teased the brown haired girl.

Ellie pouted and faked a saddened expression. "You're mean, Yuri," she whined.

The raven haired male chuckled as he put on his coat and untied his hair.

"If you say so, Ellie. Well, see you tomorrow," he said as he walked towards the entrance.

Ellie told him goodbye too. Once in front of the door, Yuri pushed it open and was soon in the cold air outside. He was about to begin his walk home when he saw a familiar figure leaning against the wall of the bakery. When Flynn saw him, he pushed away from the wall and walked towards Yuri with a warm smile on his lips.

"Hi, Yuri," he said.

When he was close enough to Yuri, he leaned in and dropped a kiss on his boyfriend's lips. Yuri's cheeks warmed up a little at the sweet and still unfamiliar gesture.

"What are you doing here, Flynn?" Yuri asked with surprise.

Flynn's smile grew even warmer and he lifted two steaming cups in front of Yuri's eyes.

"Well, I thought you could use a good hot chocolate after a hard day of work, and it's also to apologize for decorating your locker without your consent," Flynn answered and handed one of the cups to Yuri.

The raven haired male took it and he could not describe how this simple gesture made him feel. He kept staring at the cup without saying a word. Eventually, Flynn grew worried about his lover's lack of reaction.

"Yuri? Is something wrong?" he asked.

Yuri finally lifted his face and smiled back at the blonde. He leaned in and claimed Flynn's lips in an open kiss that told the blonde how grateful he was. Flynn happily responded to the kiss. His hand went to Yuri's cheek and he caressed the soft skin as they kissed. When they parted, Yuri looked straight into his lover's eyes.

"Thanks. Were you waiting here long? You look cold," Yuri commented gently.

Flynn shrugged his shoulders. "No, not at all. Don't worry," he replied.

Something suddenly caught Flynn's attention and he turned his gaze towards the bakery's entrance. Through the glass door, he could see Yuri's co-worker excitedly playing with her phone. He frowned at that and Yuri noticed it.

"Flynn?" he asked with confusion.

He followed the blonde's gaze and his eyes landed on Ellie, who was busy writing to someone. By the excited glances she was throwing at Yuri and Flynn, the raven haired male had no difficulty guessing what she was writing.

Yuri sighed loudly. "I swear, that girl. Come on, let's go. It's freezing out here," Yuri said.

Flynn nodded and wrapped an arm around Yuri's shoulders as they began to walk. Yuri did not comment on Flynn's move. He was already getting used to Flynn's clingy nature. Yuri would not admit it aloud, but he liked it when Flynn showed such possessiveness. It meant he was really caring about Yuri and that was something the raven haired male did not feel in a long time. He would take advantage of it.

They walked in silence for a short while in direction of Yuri's apartment. When they were near Yuri's place, the raven haired male looked at his boyfriend.

"Hey, Flynn. Since it's Friday night, do you want to spend the night at my place?" he asked.

Flynn looked back at him and after a short moment, the blonde raised an eyebrow. "You wouldn't have something in mind, would you?" he asked suspiciously.

Yuri pulled an annoyed face as he understood what the blonde meant.

"No, why would I? I know how stubborn you can be when you want something. I'm not about to waste my time trying to change your mind," he said dryly.

Flynn smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry, Yuri, but you're right. I won't change my mind. Waiting a little will just make our first time much more enjoyable," Flynn said in a low tone.

Yuri snorted in an annoyed way. Soon after, he playfully jabbed his lover in the ribs.

"Fine. But I promise you won't get away with it easy when the month will be over with," he said in a tone that was both sultry and threatening.

Flynn laughed earnestly. "I don't know if I should feel scared or thrilled by it," he answered.

Yuri smirked in answer. "Probably both. I'm a pretty feisty lover," he replied.

Flynn's smile widened and he leaned his face towards Yuri, letting his breath ghost over the skin of his neck, just above his coat.

"Then I'm lucky," the blonde replied in a lust filled voice. A shiver ran through Yuri at that, but he skillfully hid it.

He realized that one month was going to be a real torture.


Flynn could not remember the last time he felt so at peace. The blonde accepted Yuri's invitation of staying over and he now lied with Yuri in his boyfriend's bed. The raven haired male fell asleep some time ago, curled against Flynn with his head pillowed on the blonde's chest. Unlike his lover, Flynn did not want to sleep just yet. He was staring at the ceiling, a soft smile on his lips as he caressed Yuri's ebony hair and as he listened to his even breathing.

He still could not believe he was going out with Yuri right now. Every time Flynn was wondering how come he had fallen for his friend, a ton of reasons came to his mind. Yuri was so different than him that it was one of the main reasons the blonde was attracted to him in the first place. Yuri was arrogant, cocky, lazy, reckless... but he was also earnest, passionate and selfless.

He was many things that Flynn was not, and in doing so, he completed him. That they were both guys did not change anything for Flynn. He figured he would go along the flow and he knew Yuri would help him in that.

Yuri was also bringing something to Flynn that he did not feel in a long time; excitement. The raven haired male was always so full of surprises, and that was something the blonde was not used to. He was used having a boring and predictable life. He felt more alive whenever Yuri was by his side. Flynn did not want to let go of him, ever, and he was fully confident that he would obtain his heart in this one month.

He had to, because there was no way he would let Yuri slip from his grasp.


Day 4

Yuri grumbled when someone shook his shoulder, trying to pry him awake. He turned around in the bed and buried his face into the pillow, trying to continue sleeping. However, the person shaking his shoulder seemed to have another idea in mind. Soon, a warm hand was in his hair, gently caressing his dark strands.

"Wake up, Yuri. You have to work this morning," a familiar and gentle voice resounded near Yuri's ear.

The latter finally decided to give up and he turned on his back, looking sleepily at Flynn smiling down at him. Before his sleepy mind processed what was happening, Flynn leaned down to give him a good morning kiss.

When the blonde broke the contact, sleep completely left Yuri. He remembered he had asked Flynn to stay the night the day before. It seemed like the blonde was the type to rise early, since he was clearly awake for some time. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, already dressed and looking proper.

Flynn smiled. "Good morning, Yuri," he whispered.

Yuri stole a quick glance at the alarm clock before bringing Flynn in for another kiss.

"It's too damn early for a Saturday morning," Yuri muttered against the blonde's lips.

Flynn chuckled and pulled away. "I figured you'd say that. Here, I brought you this."

As he talked, Flynn turned towards the bed table and reached for something. Yuri could not see what it was until his boyfriend had turned back towards him.

Flynn was holding a tray with a tasty looking breakfast on it. Yuri sat in his bed and Flynn took advantage of it to put down the tray on Yuri's lap. The raven haired male eyed the food with suspicion, but it did not hide the pleased surprise he felt.

"Are you the one who made this?" he asked suspiciously.

Flynn shook his head and sighed. "No, don't worry. I bought it at the coffee shop down the street. You told me not to enter your kitchen again, remember?" the blonde replied.

Yuri ignored the last comment of his lover, since his attention was all on the fact Flynn had bought this for him. So he rose early and went out to buy him breakfast, and on top of that, he was giving him breakfast in bed? How sweeter could he get? Yuri was really touched by the little attention. He tried not to show it too much. Flynn knew better though. He was tempted to tease Yuri about it, but he did not have the time. He was pulled back against Yuri's lips in a heated and needy kiss.

When they broke apart to regain their breathing, Flynn talked against Yuri's lips; "Hum, Yuri, did you forget about your breakfast?"

Yuri's tempting lips stretched into a seductive smile as he stared into Flynn's blue gaze. "No, but right now, it's you I'm hungry for," he whispered.

Flynn chuckled. "You're impossible," he whispered before leaning in to claim those lips again.

Flynn realized he was quickly growing addicted to Yuri, and he did not care in the least.


Day 5

"Where are we going?" Yuri asked for the tenth time.

He was sitting on the passenger seat in Flynn's car, looking bored through the window. Flynn sighed, his eyes never leaving the road while he answered.

"I already told you, it's a surprise. Now, can you stop asking me? I won't tell you no matter how many times you ask," the blonde replied with exasperation.

Yuri pouted at his boyfriend's stubbornness. The truth was, the raven haired male was really curious. Since Yuri had the day off from work, Flynn had told him he was going to take him somewhere for the day, but he refused to tell him where. Now, they had long left town and were on the road for almost an hour. Yuri was really curious about where they were going. He and Flynn were only dating for five days and the blonde was surprising Yuri every day.

Soon after, they arrived at their destination and Yuri's eyes widened as he gazed at the building. Yuri knew the place as he came there once with his parents back when he was just a kid.

"You brought me to an amusement park?" Yuri said unbelievingly.

This place was really famous for being one of the biggest indoor amusement parks. Flynn smiled as he parked the car in the parking lot. When he stopped the engine, he turned to look at Yuri.

"I thought we could use a day to just have fun and forget about everything else," the blonde said gently.

Yuri's eyes widened and his features softened. Flynn... he was always so caring. Yuri did not find what to say and it seemed the blonde was not waiting for him to say anything.

"So, are we going or what?" Flynn said, amused by the expression written all over his lover's face.

Yuri hid his embarrassment and nodded. They got out of the car and began to walk towards the building. Flynn suddenly felt a hand slip into his and squeeze it tightly. He looked at Yuri only to see him blush faintly and stubbornly look to the side. It was clear from the way that he was acting that the long haired male was very pleased to go to the amusement park. Flynn figured as much. He acted as if he did not notice his lover's reaction and only pulled him along towards the amusement park.


Flynn stole a loving glance at Yuri, who was sleeping peacefully on the passenger seat while the blonde drove him back home. It was no wonder he was so tired. Yuri had pulled Flynn around all day, insisting to try almost every attraction on the site. Flynn had found his enthusiasm really refreshing. He had happily complied with everything Yuri wanted to do as he was being affected by his contagious happiness.

Flynn did not regret once having thought of this idea. The smile that was plastered on Yuri's face all day long had made it worth it a thousand times. Of course, he was also rewarded earlier by an intense making out session in the Ferris wheel. You can count on Yuri to think about that when fifty feet into the air. The memory made Flynn smile.

Once they were in front of Yuri's apartment, Flynn debated on if he should wake his lover up or not. He decided against it and searched carefully into Yuri's coat pockets to retrieve the key to his apartment. Once he found it, he got out of the car and circled it until he was on the other side. He opened the door to the passenger seat and bent down. He carefully gathered the raven haired male into his arms and lifted him.

Flynn closed the door and slowly walked to the building. Once he was inside, he climbed the stairs up to the third floor and walked to Yuri's apartment. He managed to unlock the door and pushed it open. When Flynn was inside his lover's apartment, he removed his shoes and slowly went to Yuri's bedroom. He carefully put him down on the sheets.

Being careful not to wake him up, Flynn put an arm under his lover's waist and carefully lifted him up, enough so that he could remove his coat. Yuri stirred a little in his sleep, but he did not wake up. Flynn then removed his shoes and tucked him under his blankets. The blonde sat on the edge of the bed and stared at Yuri's sleeping face for a long time. A fond smile stretched across his lips and he leaned down to plant a soft kiss on Yuri's partly opened lips.

When Flynn pulled back, his fingers gently glided through Yuri's soft and beautiful dark locks. Yuri turned his face towards Flynn's fingers in his sleep, as if he wanted more of that touch. The blonde's fingers slowly went down to caress the soft skin of his lover's cheek. Flynn's heart beat madly in his chest at the intense feelings he felt for his infuriating lover.

"God, I love you so much..." Flynn whispered with a voice shaking with the emotion.

Flynn never felt this way before, not even with his fiancée back then. Every little nothing Yuri did was driving him wild with longing and desire. The blonde suddenly realized that his plan of a 'one month without sex' might backfire at him. He was sure that if Yuri really tried, he might just as well be able to make him give up.

Flynn was certainly not the one who would inform him of it. He had to hold on, because there was no way Flynn was sleeping with Yuri until his lover told him he was feeling the same way as him. No matter how pleasurable it could be, Flynn would never be satisfied with just sex. He wanted so much more from Yuri.

Flynn reluctantly pulled his fingers away and smiled when he saw Yuri move again in his sleep. He rose from the bed. He left the room and went into the kitchen. Flynn found a bunch of memos and a pen. He quickly wrote a note to Yuri saying that he spent a wonderful day with him and that he loved him. Taking the note, Flynn went back into Yuri's bedroom and placed it on the bed table.

"Goodnight, Yuri," he whispered and threw a last look at his lover before leaving the bedroom and the apartment to go back home.


Day 6

Yuri went to school in a good mood that Monday morning. That was a really rare occurrence coming from him, but Yuri could not help it. He had slept like a log and had woken up to a sweet message Flynn had left at his intention. Yuri remembered the day he spent together with the blonde at the attraction park and he could not stop smiling at that. Flynn was really doing everything he could to win him over.

Yuri would have given everything he had to see Flynn as soon as he got to school, but the blonde was already attending his class and Yuri's was beginning in ten minutes. The next three hours were unbelievingly long and boring. Yuri had never been so glad before when the lesson was over. Yuri gathered his things and left the room, wanting to see Flynn as soon as he could.

He was really surprised when he saw said blonde waiting for him outside of the classroom with a fond smile on his lips. Yuri reflected his smile and joined his boyfriend. Not caring about the people around them, Yuri leaned in and kissed Flynn eagerly. When they parted, Flynn raised an eyebrow inquiringly at Yuri's unusual show of affection between the college walls.

"Good morning. What was that for?" Flynn asked with pleased surprise.

Yuri smiled at the blonde. "That's for yesterday. I didn't get to thank you before," he explained.

Flynn chuckled. "Oh? I thought that's what you were doing yesterday in the Ferris wheel," he said as he remembered that pleasurable moment.

Yuri's smile grew devious. "Nah, I just felt like it back then," he said with amusement.

Flynn gently covered Yuri's hand and laced their fingers together as he began to walk, pulling Yuri away with him.

"I see. Do I also deserve a thank you for bringing you to your apartment while you were sleeping?" Flynn asked as they walked together.

He was glad Yuri did not seem to mind him holding his hand. Yuri looked at Flynn and smiled mysteriously.

"We'll see about that. Maybe after school?" he said. It made Flynn chuckle and smile in a pleased way.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, Judith and Estelle were already sitting at their usual table. The girls stared at the two boys as they approached, still holding hands. They did not have time to sit that Judith was already commenting on it.

"Aw, you two are so cute together!" she exclaimed earnestly and excitedly.

Estelle said nothing, but the way she looked at them told them straight away that she was agreeing with Judith. Yuri suddenly pulled his hand free and looked embarrassed.

"Could you get over it, please? That's no big deal," he said, frustrated by the attention he and Flynn were constantly receiving from their two friends.

Were all girls like that? Yuri could not help but think that since Ellie was the same as their two friends. Yuri and Flynn both took a seat at the table. The blonde was not offended in the least by Yuri's reaction. He could understand he was embarrassed by their friend's reactions. He was too, though he managed to hide it most of the time.

Judith's smile turned sly. "I'm afraid I won't," she answered simply to Yuri's earlier question.

Yuri sighed loudly and glared at the blue haired girl, which she ignored. Flynn had a small smile as they began eating their lunch.

After lunch, Yuri and Flynn were attending the same class. A soon as they began to walk towards the classroom, Flynn took hold of Yuri's hand again. The raven haired male looked at his lover questioningly.

"Flynn?" he said, wondering what was up with his boyfriend today.

The blonde smiled brightly at him. "I just feel like it, so I'll hold your hand whenever I have the chance today," he answered quite simply.

Yuri's eyes widened at that. Was he really...?

Yuri mumbled a small "Stupid Flynn." under his breath, but he squeezed Flynn's hand tighter in answer.

He did not really mind it, in the end.


Day 7

It was really cold outside that day, and it did not feel like spring was coming soon. After college, Yuri decided to go with Flynn at the latter's house to study for the approaching mid-term exams. They left school together and quickly walked towards Flynn's home. They were not walking for long when Flynn noticed Yuri seemed cold. He was not clothed enough for the cold weather. Flynn sighed softly and undid the knot of his scarf. Before Yuri realised what was happening, Flynn wrapped the scarf around his neck, making him halt his walk. Yuri turned towards Flynn at the same time he was done tying the scarf.

"Flynn? Why are you giving me this?" he asked Flynn with confusion.

The blonde smiled softly at him. "Because you looked cold and I don't want you to get sick," he answered honestly.

Yuri's cheeks gained some color. He frowned and began to untie the scarf.

"Well, you're the one who's going to catch a cold, now. I don't need this," he replied with a hint of embarrassment.

Flynn's hands covered Yuri's, stopping him. Flynn looked seriously into the gray eyes of his lover.

"Keep it, it's a gift," he said.

Yuri was about to protest, but Flynn did it again; he pulled that kicked puppy face. Yuri swore under his breath and looked away, unable to see that look anymore. Yuri knew by now that Flynn found out about that weakness and he was using it efficiently.

"Thanks, I guess," he muttered quietly.

Flynn retained his need to laugh at his win. He merely smiled instead and wrapped an arm around his lover's shoulders, probing him to resume their walk towards a warmer place.

"You're welcome," he replied with satisfaction.


Yuri was really not pleased right now. He and Flynn were in the blonde's bedroom. Yuri was lying on Flynn's bed while Flynn was sitting at his desk. They were studying together until five minutes earlier, when Yuri complained about not wanting to study anymore. However, instead of entertaining Yuri like he should have, Flynn decided to do one of his homework and thus, to completely ignore Yuri. There was just a slight problem with that; Yuri did not like to be ignored.

That was what pushed him to rise from the bed and approach his boyfriend. He leaned against the blonde's back and his hands slid to his shoulders. There was absolutely no reaction from Flynn. Yuri did not let himself get discouraged by it. He leaned his face closer to his lover and began to kiss his way down Flynn's neck while his hands caressed up and down Flynn's chest.

"Flynn..." he whispered seductively against his lover's neck and all he earned was a quiet intake of breath.

Not happy by that reaction, Yuri circled Flynn and gracefully let himself fall on Flynn's lap, straddling him. He looked straight into the discouraged blue gaze.

"What are you doing, Yuri?" Flynn asked with a sigh.

The dark haired male smirked and resumed kissing the blonde's neck.

"I'm getting you to pay attention to your boyfriend," he answered amusingly as he nibbled at the exposed skin.

He pressed himself closer to Flynn as he licked and nibbled his way up Flynn's neck, listening to the quickening pace of the blonde's breathing.

"You're really acting like a child, you know that?" Flynn said in a slightly breathless tone.

Yuri went back eye level with Flynn and his smirk widened. "Yeah, I know," he answered simply before locking their lips together in a needy kiss.

He felt Flynn respond eagerly and a strong arm circled his waist, keeping him in place. Yuri smiled against Flynn's lips and he deepened the kiss, happy to finally have some kind of attention.

After some time, Yuri became conscious of Flynn's other arm moving against his waist in a strange way. Yuri broke the kiss and looked behind him to see what he was doing. His eyes widened and he glared back at Flynn.

"Unbelievable. Are you really doing your freaking homework while we're making out?" he said accusingly.

It was Flynn's turn to smirk. "Why not? If I can do both at the same time, the better, right?" he said teasingly.

Yuri's expression darkened and Flynn chuckled. He flicked his boyfriend's forehead, which angered him even more.

"I'm just messing with you! Call it payback for not wanting to study anymore earlier," Flynn said mischievously.

Yuri felt his anger slowly drain away. As always, he could not find it in him to really be mad at Flynn. Yuri climbed down from Flynn's lap and grabbed the collar of the blonde's shirt. He gently pulled him with him as he walked backwards.

Soon, the back of Yuri's knees collided with the bed and he fell on the mattress, dragging Flynn with him. The blonde settled between Yuri's bended knees and they just looked at each other for a long moment. Flynn was taking in the sight before him; he was taking in what was rightfully his and he found himself drawn by Yuri's beauty like every other time.

His silky long dark hair splayed everywhere around his flawless face; those dark eyes closed halfway and shining with pure lust and want; those full and inviting soft lips partly opened; that delightful lean and long body lying under him. He was so damn desirable. Yuri was making Flynn's self control slip by the minute. The blonde never imagined before that he could be so taken by a single person. He never imagined he could have the impression that his entire world revolved around this person. That person was currently looking straight at him with those bewitching eyes.

Flynn leaned towards Yuri and he gently brushed his cheek with the tip of his fingers. Yuri was destabilised by the emotions that shone into the blonde's eyes.

His heart leapt in his chest when he heard Flynn say; "I love you, Yuri."

It was not the first time Flynn was saying this, but Yuri always had the same reaction each time he said it. His heart would start beating madly; he would feel that happiness coil in his gut; he would feel the need to say "I love you too". However, his fear prevented him from saying so. Instead, Yuri gently cupped Flynn's face and dragged him down until their lips found each other.

Yuri closed his eyes and let himself drown into the feeling of Flynn's lips covering his own; of his fingers brushing his skin and lighting it up; of the warmth of his body pressed against him as they kissed. Each time they made out, it was always the same. Yuri was always losing himself. He found himself craving more, as if he would never get tired of it, as if he could keep kissing Flynn forever. Yuri knew it was not because Flynn was one hell of a kisser. It was because he felt like he belonged there, with Flynn. Yuri never felt so scared in his life by the implications of that feeling.

He pushed away his thoughts to concentrate on the present moment. They kissed for a very long time and Yuri lost count of it. He could not care less. He was content where he was. When they finally stopped, Flynn settled on the bed besides Yuri and the dark haired male cuddled against Flynn, closing his eyes when he felt Flynn's hand caress his hair. Flynn broke the silence after a while.

"Yuri, I have to tell you something," he said quietly.

Yuri stiffened at those words, because they usually meant something bad. He stayed silent, waiting for Flynn to continue, which he did.

"My... my parents don't know yet about us," he said uneasily.

The tension in Yuri's body vanished at that. He took hold of Flynn's free hand and distractedly drew circles in his palm with his finger.

"That's okay. I can understand it's not easy for you. It's your first time dating a guy, right?" Yuri asked.

He could understand how difficult it is to tell the people you care about. Yuri was still trying to find the courage to tell Marion about his sexual orientation. So to tell his own parents... He knew that if they were still alive, Yuri would find it really difficult too.

Flynn sighed softly. "Yeah. I want to tell them eventually, but I have to find the right moment. I don't think they'll take it easily, though, seeing the way they are constantly trying to match me up with girls," the blonde said darkly.

Yuri stopped what he was doing and he lifted his head from its place on Flynn's chest. He looked right into his lover's eyes.

"They might surprise you, you never know. Anyway, we'll just have to be cautious until then, in that case. I don't mind. It's more exciting that way," Yuri smirked when he said the last words.

Flynn chuckled and pulled his lover into a kiss. Yuri always knew how to make him forget about his worries.

He loved him so much for that.


Day 8

"Flynn, what are you trying to pull?" Yuri asked with confusion.

Since the beginning of the day, whenever Flynn had the occasion, he was being overly gentlemanly with Yuri. He opened the doors for him, he pulled back chairs for him to sit in, he prevented him to do anything remotely forceful... Yuri was really wondering what had gotten into him. Yuri did not totally dislike the small attentions, but he found it was a little over the top, and that it was the sort of thing you were doing for a girl. Yuri was not a girl. Sometimes, he wondered if the blonde forgot about that fact.

The two lovers were standing in one of the college's hallways and Yuri was about to go his way to one of his classes. Flynn smiled brightly at Yuri, the same smile that always took the latter's breath away.

"I just want to show you how much I care about you, that's all. I'm not trying to pull anything," he explained amusingly.

The annoyed face Yuri pulled was enough to make him laugh.

"Well, stop it! I already know that you care," the dark haired male replied with annoyance.

Before Flynn had the time to say anything, Yuri pulled something from his pocket and handed it to Flynn. The blonde looked at the object; a key. He raised his eyes on Yuri's face, only to find him looking embarrassingly to the side.

"I don't know if you deserve it, but here's the key to my apartment. I made one for you, so you can come whenever you want," Yuri explained with embarrassment.

He missed the look of pure happiness displayed on the blonde's face, so he was totally surprised when Flynn's arms closed around him, pulling him into a tight embrace.

"Thank you, Yuri!" Flynn whispered happily into his ear.

Yuri's cheeks flushed because of his lover's actions. When they pulled apart, Yuri leaned in for a quick kiss.

"Well, I have to go now. See you later," he said quickly, already going away to hide his blush from Flynn.

The blonde had seen it though, and that was why he let his boyfriend go away that quickly. He decided not to tease him about it this time. Flynn's eyes dropped on the key and a warm smile appeared on his lips.


Day 9

"Flynn, I really don't like this," Yuri protested with uneasiness.

Flynn chuckled and kept on guiding Yuri up the stairs leading to the raven haired male's apartment. After school that day, Flynn told Yuri that he had a surprise for him. Not to spoil it though, Flynn asked Yuri to close his eyes and not open them until he told him so. Yuri did not like it, but he obeyed nonetheless. He did not protest on the way here from school until they began climbing stairs.

"Don't worry, Yuri. I'm not letting you go. Trust me, okay?" Flynn said gently.

Yuri sighed. "Okay," he answered quietly.

They finished climbing the stairs and Flynn guided his boyfriend to the latter's apartment. He unlocked the door and pulled Yuri inside with him. Satisfied with what he saw, Flynn closed the door and told Yuri he could open his eyes. When the raven haired male did as told, he was left speechless by what he saw. All around his apartment were lit several candles, giving an intimate atmosphere to it. The kitchen table was covered by a red tablecloth. Candles were placed on it, as well as a bottle of expensive looking champagne. A covered plate containing the dinner was placed in the middle of the table. Flynn looked at Yuri, worried by his lack of reaction.

"Do you like it?" he asked gently.

Yuri managed to regain control over himself and nodded. "Y-yeah. But... when did you find the time to do this?" Yuri asked unbelievingly.

Flynn smiled, relieved that Yuri was not mad. "During the afternoon. I didn't have classes, so I came here to prepare all this. I asked Judith for her help and she made the dinner. I would have done it myself, but I'm afraid it wouldn't have been really edible," Flynn said the last words miserably.

Yuri was somehow relieved to hear that. "So that's why Judy wasn't in rehearsal today," he said thoughtfully.

Flynn nodded. Yuri turned towards him and circled his neck to bring him closer.

"Thanks, Flynn," he said in a whisper full of emotion.

Flynn smiled widely and claimed the lips of his lover. Their kiss lasted a long time as Yuri did not seem wanting to let him go. Flynn was not about to complain, but he still pushed Yuri away reluctantly after a while.

"I don't really mind kissing you, but we should probably eat dinner before it gets cold," Flynn whispered against Yuri's lips.

The latter smiled apologetically. "Yeah," he answered.

They parted and went to sit at the table. Yuri's eyes were attracted to a note lying against the cover hiding the food. Intrigued, Yuri took it and Flynn threw his lover a confused glance. The dark haired male decided to read it aloud for Flynn too.

"Have a nice meal. I hope you guys will have some fun." Yuri's forehead creased in confusion at the mysterious note, and so did Flynn.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Flynn asked.

It was evident to both of them that Judith was the one who wrote the note. Yuri stayed silent for a few seconds more. He soon lifted his eyes and stared at Flynn.

"You know, before we do anything, I think it'll be wise to search the apartment for any hidden cameras," Yuri commented.

Flynn nodded and he uncovered the food. It revealed two servings of delicious looking baked Dijon salmon. Flynn eyed the food, feeling suddenly suspicious.

"Do you think she put something in the food?" he asked suspiciously.

Yuri eyed the food too for a long time. Then their gazes met again.

"Maybe it would be wiser to go get something else to eat," Yuri commented.

Flynn could not agree more with Yuri this time.


Day 10

Yuri was leaning over the counter of the bakery, a bored expression on his face. He looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It indicated nine minus five O'clock. Five more minutes and he could close the shop. There were never many clients after eight thirty and Yuri found out waiting for an entire thirty minutes was a real torture. He already cleaned the bakery and done everything he could do until the closing. Now he was just eager to see Flynn. Since it was Friday night, Flynn promised they would spend the night together and that he would even stay over. Yuri was really happy by it. He could not wait and those five minutes were killing him.

He was so lost in his thoughts that he did not even hear the door bell ringing, indicating that someone just entered the shop. That person was suddenly in front of Yuri, who was still daydreaming. A familiar face with stunning blue eyes was soon grinning at him from way too close. Yuri was startled out of his thoughts and his heart threatened to burst out of his chest.

"F-Flynn! What are you doing here?" he stuttered, completely taken by surprise.

Flynn chuckled. "Good evening to you too. Wow, you were really out of it if you didn't hear me enter. What were you thinking about so hard, huh?" the blonde asked innocently.

He was really surprised when he saw Yuri's cheeks flush bright red. The dark haired male turned his gaze away and snorted.

"Nothing. I was just thinking that I couldn't wait for my shift to be over," he said with embarrassment.

Flynn eyed him with suspicion, knowing he was not telling everything.

"Right, if you say so," he said in a dismissive way.

Yuri regained a normal color and repeated his question; "You didn't answer my question. What are you doing here? I thought you would be waiting for me at my apartment."

Flynn smiled gently at his lover. "Well, I couldn't wait to see you. And I thought maybe you would like some help to close the shop?" the blonde suggested.

Yuri's eyes widened in surprise. He did not expect that, but he was touched by the offer.

"Huh, okay. I'm not supposed to let a client in after the close, but I guess it's okay for once. Thanks," Yuri said with a small smile.

Flynn returned the smile and leaned towards Yuri again. "You're welcome. Since you seemed pretty bored, maybe I could entertain you for the last five minutes?" Flynn suggested.

Yuri pulled on Flynn's collar to bring him even closer until their lips were brushing against each other. "You could..." he whispered seductively.

Flynn was about to close that small gap when Yuri suddenly pulled back and dropped a wet cloth into Flynn's hand.

"... but you have work to do. I forgot to clean a table over there. That would be really nice if you could do it for me," Yuri whispered with mirth.

A small smile stretched across Flynn's lips and he shook his head in exasperation. The blonde decided to play the game.

"I could..." he began and Yuri lifted one eyebrow at that, waiting for the rest. Flynn's smile widened. "... but only if you make it worth my while later," he finished.

Yuri smirked deviously. "We'll see about that," he answered mysteriously.

Flynn answered nothing to that, but he kept staring at Yuri for a long moment. He finally straightened up and went away towards the table Yuri told him to clean. While he watched Flynn clean the already cleaned table, Yuri's smile widened.

If he could not win against Flynn in anything else, Yuri could at least win in their arguments sometimes.


Day 11

"You know what, Flynn? I hate surprises and even though you know that, you keep on insisting," Yuri mumbled from his place on the passenger seat.

Flynn chuckled. "Yeah, right. Keep lying, Yuri. I know you like my surprises," Flynn replied with amusement.

He ignored the glare sent his way as he kept on driving towards their destination. It was already late in the evening and Yuri wondered where Flynn could be taking him at this hour.

They left town some time ago, but Flynn assured Yuri that they were not going too far. Yuri kept on brooding, not liking to be kept in the dark. No matter how many times he asked Flynn, the blonde did not want to say anything. Yuri began to worry when they left the highroad and Flynn took the car into a dark country road. Yuri looked at Flynn with suspicion.

"Don't tell me you intend to bring me to a desolate and remote place so you can violently kill me and bury my corpse?" Yuri said in all seriousness.

Flynn sighed loudly. "Yuri, you're unbelievable. Do you really think I would do something like that?" he said, amazement filling his voice at his lover's words.

You can count on Yuri to say things like that out of the blue.

Yuri smirked at Flynn. "I don't know. Usually, psychopaths look pretty normal at first and they are really clever. Just like you," the raven haired male continued.

Flynn chuckled. "Thanks for the compliment. I promise you that I'm not a psychopath who intends to kill you, okay?" the blonde said amusingly.

Yuri answered nothing, but his smile widened.

Flynn drove for about five more minutes and Yuri noticed the road kept going up. They finally arrived to destination. Flynn stopped the car on top of a hill out in the open. When he saw the observatory standing not far from them, Yuri finally understood why Flynn brought him there. The raven haired male looked at his boyfriend with surprise.

Flynn smiled gently at Yuri. "Since the sky is clear and the night is not too cold, I thought we could go watch the stars," he explained softly.

Before Yuri had the time to say anything, Flynn pushed a button on the dashboard and the convertible top began to retract. The still somewhat cold air hit them as soon as the top was completely retracted.

Flynn detached his belt and hopped into the backseat, motioning to his lover to join him. Yuri did as told and settled against his lover. Flynn reached over and grabbed the warm blanket lying at his side. Yuri watched as the blonde spread it over them both. Yuri chuckled as they settled more comfortably against each other.

"You're incredible, you know that?" he said earnestly.

Flynn wrapped an arm around Yuri's waist under the blanket and brought him closer as he looked at the starts shining bright in the sky.

"It's only because of you. You make me want to be incredible," he answered quietly.

Yuri blushed at his boyfriend's comment. He cuddled closer to Flynn and leaned his head on the blonde's shoulder. Flynn thought Yuri would not answer, but he did after a long moment.

"...Baka(1) Flynn. I can't believe the things you say sometimes," the raven haired male muttered against Flynn's shoulder.

The blonde chuckled. Yuri was so adorable sometimes.

Flynn leaned towards Yuri to whisper into his ear. "You'll have to get used to it, Yuri."

The raven haired male punched Flynn's arm in response. "Shut up. I'm trying to forget about that," he muttered darkly.

A huge grin appeared on the blonde's lips. He was always tempted to tease Yuri even more when he got like that, but he stopped his urges. Flynn wanted to take advantage of that peaceful moment. It seemed Yuri was thinking the same thing, since he did not push the conversation further.

They both sat curled together under the light of the moon, watching the stars shining in the dark sky.


Day 12

"Hey, Yuri. Can I ask you something?" Flynn asked for Yuri's attention as they were both eating dinner in Yuri's apartment.

The raven haired male lifted his eyes from his plate and looked at Flynn.

"What is it?" Yuri asked before taking a sip of his glass of juice.

Flynn was quick with answering his question. "Would you like to become my model?"

Yuri's eyes widened and he almost spit out the juice in his mouth. He managed to swallow and his cheeks burned as he looked at Flynn's serious face.

"What? You're serious?" he asked disbelievingly.

Flynn's expression did not let up. "Yes, I am," he assured his lover.

Yuri was really embarrassed by his demand. He looked to the side, trying to hide it the best he could.

"You didn't seem to need my permission before," the raven haired male muttered embarrassingly.

Confusion washed over Flynn's features. "What do you mean?" he asked, confused.

Yuri stayed silent for a while, but he decided to answer when he saw that Flynn was not going to drop the subject. Yuri could still not bring himself to meet the blonde's gaze, though.

"I saw some drawings of me in your sketchbook a while back," he revealed.

It was now Flynn's turn to be slightly embarrassed. He did not expect Yuri to see the drawings he had done in secret.

"Oh, I see. Are you mad about that?" Flynn asked with worry.

Yuri shook his head. "No, I was just surprised, that's all," he answered quietly.

Flynn leaned towards Yuri to catch his attention. The gray eyes were soon on him. Yuri stiffened as soon as he saw plead written all over his boyfriend's face.

"Please, Yuri. I would really like you to model for me," the blonde asked pleadingly.

Damn it. Why was Yuri even considering saying yes? Flynn had too much of an influence on him. It was beginning to be annoying.

Yuri sighed. "I don't know, Flynn. I never did that kind of thing. I don't really think it's for me," he answered evasively.

He looked again at Flynn and instantly regretted doing that. How could he resist that pleading look? Flynn was way too good at convincing Yuri with unfair means.

Yuri made an annoyed sound. "Okay, okay. I'll do it. Just... stop looking at me like that," he answered in a defeated tone.

The joy that appeared on Flynn's face almost made it worth accepting. Almost. Before he realized it, Yuri was pulled into a searing kiss that stole his breath away. Okay, that made it worth accepting. Yuri eagerly responded to the kiss. While they were kissing, a sudden thought crossed Yuri's mind and he smirked against his lover's lips.

Flynn felt it and he broke the kiss. He looked confusedly at Yuri, who was still very close to him, wondering what made him smile like that.

"Yuri?" he asked breathlessly.

The raven haired male's smile widened. "Did you ever draw nude models?" he whispered sensually, his eyes boring deep into Flynn's blue ones.

It would be any second now. Just on cue, Yuri saw Flynn's cheeks burn a deep crimson and his eyes widen at Yuri's implication.

This might not be such a bad idea after all.


Day 13

Someone would think that after almost two weeks of dating Flynn, Yuri would get used to the blonde's overly romantic and cheesy nature. However, it was not the case. It would be a wonder if Yuri ever got used to it. Each day, his lover came up with new ideas to make him embarrassed and wonder why in the hell he decided to date him.

That morning, when Yuri awoke and got ready to go to college, he was already assaulted by one of the blonde's antics. Flynn had placed some post-it everywhere in his apartment, with sweet and mushy words written on each of them. Yuri found some in his kitchen, his living room, his bedroom, and even in his bathroom. It left him wondering when Flynn found the time to place the papers without him noticing. Yuri did not exactly know how he should react to this new initiative of Flynn. It was sweet, mind you, but it was embarrassing as hell.

Yuri thought he was safe for the rest of day. He could not be more wrong. When he arrived at college and opened his locker, he found several other post-its. Suddenly having a bad feeling, Yuri grabbed his school things lying in his locker and opened every book. His eyes widened when he found yet again other post-its. That Flynn... Yuri could not bring himself to hate his lover for it. However, there was no way he was letting the papers there He would not let anyone see them.

Judith was walking side by side with Estelle in one of the college hallways when both girls noticed ahead of them a familiar dark haired boy furiously rummaging into his locker. Intrigued, Judith approached him and Estelle did the same. Yuri was not even aware of the girls' presence since he was too busy trying to get rid of every post-it he could find in his things and locker. He jumped when he felt a hand on his shoulder and heard a familiar voice.

"It seems someone really loves you," Judith's voice slurred against his ear.

Yuri turned around brusquely and tried to hide the evidence in a laid-back manner.

"Judith, Estelle! What's up?" he asked in a not so natural way.

"Good morning, Yuri!" Estelle said cheerfully, completely oblivious of her friend's unease and of what he was desperately trying to hide.

Judith was not so oblivious. She coked her head to the side and smiled deviously as she peered inside the locker.

"Don't try to hide it. I've seen it all," she said in an amused tone.

Yuri stiffened, but he did not move from his place. He creased his eyes in threat.

"I don't know what you're talking about," he denied vehemently.

Estelle looked back and forth between her two friends, wondering what was going on. Judith's smirk grew even more devious.

"I could love you forever". Not bad, but I'm sure I can help Flynn come up with even better things," Judith whispered amusingly.

Yuri blushed furiously and turned around. He slammed his locker shut and hurried away without a word, clearly upset. Judith chuckled at his reaction. Estelle frowned, confused.

"What happened? Why is Yuri mad?" the naive girl asked.

Judith chuckled even more and gently grabbed the pink haired girl's arm, resuming their walk.

"It's nothing. I'm sure he'll get over it as soon as he sees Flynn. Or not," Judith added with a small smile.

The blonde would probably face a very pissed off Yuri and there was no way Judith would miss that.

She could not wait for lunch time.


Day 14

Tuesday morning, Yuri was working at the bakery. He was busy baking a cake in the back store when Ellie suddenly came rushing in excitedly. Yuri raised an eyebrow at that.

"Woah, calm down, Ellie! What's the rush?" he said and stopped what he was doing.

Ellie was almost jumping from excitement. "The handsome blonde – I mean, your boyfriend – just came in! I'm sure he's looking for you!" she said with stars almost shining in her eyes.

When Yuri got over his shock at seeing his co-worker in that state, he sighed. "Okay, I get it. Go back in the shop, Ellie," the raven haired male said in a scolding tone.

The hyperactive girl nodded energetically and ran off to the front. Yuri put down his tools and washed his hands before going up front.

Just like Ellie said, Flynn was waiting for him, obviously uncomfortable under the girl's scrutinizing gaze. As soon as he noticed Yuri coming his way, a warm but somewhat reserved smile appeared on his lips. Obviously, he thought Yuri was still mad for the post-it episode the day before. Yuri did not let him time to speak. He leaned against the counter in front of his lover.

"Hey, Flynn. What are you doing here?" he said casually.

From the corner of his eye, Yuri could see Ellie throwing excited glances at them even though she was busy serving the customers. It almost made him smile.

Flynn looked at Yuri in a wary way. "Well, I missed you, so I felt like seeing you. And I also wanted to know if you were still mad at me for yesterday," the blonde asked in a somewhat worry way.

He waited for Yuri's answer, but the dark haired male stayed unusually quiet and Flynn did not know what to make of it. All of a sudden, he was yanked forward by a hand grabbing the collar of his jacket. His lips met Yuri's soft ones in an open and needy kiss. Flynn was so stunned that he did not even have time to react. He could taste the sweetness of the cake Yuri had been baking in the back on his boyfriend's lips before he released him.

Flynn saw Yuri smirk in a seductive way as he looked right into his eyes.

"Nah, I'm not mad. But you're one hell of an idiot, you know that?" he answered in an amused whisper.

A relieved smile stretched across the blonde's lips. He was about to claim his lover's lips again when his eyes were diverted on the other employee: the girl named Ellie. She was completely unmoving. Her mouth was hanging slightly open and her eyes were shining in a disturbing way. Flynn believed it might be best if he just go. That girl was freaking him out

"Good, I'm glad. I'll see you this afternoon, then?" he asked.

Yuri did not miss where Flynn had looked earlier. He understood clearly why the blonde was not extending his stay. The raven haired male chuckled.

"Yeah. See you later," he answered with amusement.

Flynn was about to leave, but at the last second, he leaned in to give Yuri a quick and sweet kiss. It was too hard resisting the temptation. When Flynn pulled back, Yuri looked genuinely surprised. The blonde then turned around and left the bakery without another word. A smirk appeared on the raven haired male's lips. He turned around, and ignoring Ellie's excited glance, he returned in the back store to go back to work.


Yuri arrived the last one to rehearsal that day. Raven was waiting on stage for him to arrive before beginning the rehearsal. Yuri spotted Flynn seating in the front row. He ignored his teacher's discouraged expression and took a seat next to his boyfriend. Flynn threw Yuri the same expression than Raven.

"You're impossible, Yuri," the blonde whispered with discouragement.

Yuri merely smiled at that. Raven clapped his hands together to get everyone's attention.

"Okay. Now that Yuri has finally shown up, we can begin the rehearsal. Today will be a teensy bit different. Someone made me a special request, demanding that we practice the love scenes and I agreed to it. So I'll want my dear Juliet and Romeo on scene. For the others, you are free to either listen or to practice your own text in backstage. Alright?" Raven said with enthusiasm.

Yuri cursed under his breath. "Hey, why only the love scenes? Who requested that?" Yuri asked aloud with discontentment.

He hated playing the love scenes in front of everyone. It was embarrassing. That fact did not change even if Yuri was dating Flynn now.

Nobody dared answer Yuri. The raven haired male looked at Judith, thinking she was the one who asked that. He soon found out it was not her by the expression of pleased surprise plastered on her face. Knowing there was only one other choice, Yuri looked at Flynn and his mood darkened when he saw the satisfied and amused smile stretched across the blonde's lips. Flynn turned his face towards Yuri and saw his lover glare darkly at him. It amused him, but he tried not to show him.

Yuri hissed between his teeth; "You're losing points right now, Flynn."

The blonde's smile only grew stronger. He leaned towards Yuri. "Aw, don't be like that. I promise I'll make it up to you," the blonde whispered gently.

Yuri was about to retaliate when Raven interrupted them.

"Guys, could you stop whispering sweet words to each other and come on stage? I'd like you to begin practice," the director said with a hint of amusement.

Yuri threw a last glare at his boyfriend before briskly getting on his feet. He walked towards the stage without waiting for Flynn. The blonde was not worried about his lover's bad mood. He was getting good at making Yuri forgive him. Anyways, he knew he was not really angry at him.

Flynn was sure that by the end of the day, Yuri would be back to normal. He was easy to see through.


Day 15

Yuri eyed the sealed letter warily. He was pondering on whether he should open it or not. He knew it was too good to be true. All day long, Flynn did not try anything weird or embarrassing for Yuri. The raven haired male had been on his guard all day, wondering when his boyfriend would surprise him again with something cheesy. Needless to say Yuri was surprised when the day ended and nothing happened. Flynn was busy in the evening, so he had said goodbye to Yuri after school with merely a kiss before being on his way.

It had confused Yuri. He was still bothered by it when he arrived home. After dinner, Yuri settled in his kitchen to do an assignment he had to hand over in two days. He opened his book and his eyes fell on a sealed letter stuck between two pages. Yuri looked at it in confusion and took it. It did not take him long to understand it was Flynn who had placed it there. Yuri sighed loudly. Flynn had done something, in the end. He wrote him a freaking love letter.

So here was Yuri, sitting at his table and holding the letter, wondering if he should open and read it, or if he should throw it away and ask Flynn tomorrow what the hell was wrong with him. After some deliberation, Yuri thought it was a bit cruel to throw it away, considering Flynn had taken the time to pour his feelings out in the letter. Also, even if Yuri did not want to admit it, he was curious about what was in the letter. That was what pushed him to open the letter and unfold it. He took a deep breath and prepared himself for the likely cheesy words his eyes would land on.

He was right at first. However, Yuri's eyes soon widened as the letter took an... unexpected turn. Flynn did not really write that, did he...? Soon, Yuri's cheeks burned and he felt his body grow hot all over. He could not believe Flynn wrote such words... Yuri managed to get to the end of the letter, but as soon as he finished, he dropped it back on the table and hurried to the bathroom.

Flynn was fortunate he was not here right now.


Day 16

Flynn looked at his watch. Still ten minutes before his next class. The blonde walked down the hallway leading to his classroom. Lost in thoughts about a certain dark haired beauty, Flynn passed in front of an empty classroom. He did not see the hand that shot out of the classroom to grab the tie of his uniform. Flynn was yanked harshly into the empty room. He was so surprised that he did not say anything as the door was closed behind him and he was pushed harshly against it. A second later, his lips were attacked by an eager Yuri pressing fully against him.

Flynn regained possession of his movements and he embraced his lover as he answered the kiss with as much need and passion. Yuri moaned into the kiss when Flynn demanded entrance. Yuri fought with his lover for dominance over the kiss he had initiated.

When they broke apart, breathless, Flynn smiled warmly at his lover.

"You're eager this morning," he whispered breathlessly.

Yuri looked straight into Flynn's eyes and the blonde noticed the gray eyes were darkened with desire.

"What did you expect, after the dirty letter you wrote to me yesterday?" Yuri whispered back.

Flynn smirked. "I knew you'd like it," the blonde said in a sultry tone.

A dark shiver ran through Yuri at that and he felt his body grow hot again. He never, ever would have doubted that Flynn was capable of writing such dirty words. Flynn had written about everything he wanted to do to Yuri; every dirty fantasy he had. It had turned Yuri on so much.

"Did you really mean everything in that letter?" Yuri asked in an aroused tone.

As a response, Flynn flipped the tables and quickly pinned Yuri against the door. Yuri gasped at the sudden change of position. The blonde leaned towards him and his breath caressed the side of his neck. Shivers ran through Yuri at that. Flynn pressed his weight against Yuri while he teased the exposed and alluring skin of Yuri's neck.

"I meant every word of it," the blonde whispered before he began to kiss his way down Yuri's neck.

The raven haired male's breathing quickened and he felt like his heart would burst out of his chest. He tried to get his hands free to touch Flynn, but his lover was pinning his wrists tightly against the door.

"Damn it, Flynn," Yuri hissed through his teeth.

The blonde was teasing him and Yuri could not take it. Both could play that game.

Yuri called Flynn's name to get his attention. Flynn went back up and he stared into Yuri's gaze. The latter smirked in a sensual way.

"Good. Because I wouldn't mind letting you try these kinks of yours. I might even enjoy it," he whispered sensually.

His words destabilized Flynn and Yuri took advantage of it to get his wrists free. He grabbed Flynn's collar and pulled him into a needy kiss. Flynn happily complied and forced Yuri to submit to him. The blonde felt his control slip dangerously when he heard Yuri moan into the kiss and felt him open his mouth more to let him inside. Flynn took the opportunity to explore Yuri's mouth.

Yuri's hands began to roam over Flynn's chest and it made the blonde grow even more turned on. He ravished his lover's mouth more aggressively. Yuri was not about to complain. He liked it the rough way. Flynn broke the kiss and went down to Yuri's neck to bite and suck harshly at the white skin. Yuri moaned in pleasure and tilted his head to the side to give more space to Flynn. The blonde felt a surge of desire course through him at the pleased sounds his lover was making. He was completely losing it and he did not realize anymore that they were at college and that he was dangerously on the verge of breaking his resolution.

Yuri's hands grabbed blonde locks in an almost bruising hold and he brought Flynn back to his lips.

"Flynn... I want you," he whispered in a needy tone.

It snapped Flynn out of his lustful trance. He put some distance between them and closed his eyes to try and regain his senses. When he opened them, he saw Yuri staring at him with understanding.

"I'm sorry, Yuri. I can't do that, and certainly not here," he said in a pitiful tone.

Yuri sighed and pinched his lover's cheek gently. "Don't look like that; it's fine. But I told you before and I'll tell you again; you're going to get it in two weeks," Yuri said with seriousness.

Flynn smiled apologetically and gathered Yuri in his arms in a silent apology.

Flynn knew he was not being fair to Yuri, putting up limits like that when it was clear both of them wanted to get intimate, but he could not. Not right now. He was glad that Yuri understood and did not try to push things too far. Flynn would have to be cautious not to initiate situations like this from now on, because he knew that it would only get harder and harder to stop himself the more time passed.


"Are you serious?" Yuri asked his lover disbelievingly.

He was holding a box of tasty chocolates in his hand and looked from it to Flynn, who was sitting on Yuri's couch. Yuri had found the box of chocolates hidden in one of his kitchen's cupboards. He had asked Flynn why it was there. The blonde smiled and told him he had hidden several presents all around the apartment for him and that Yuri would have to find them on his own.

Flynn's smile was gentle. "Yes, I am. Come on, they won't even be that hard to find. It'll be fun to watch you search everywhere," the blonde said with slight amusement.

He did not tell Yuri, but he bought the presents to apologize for earlier that day. He knew it must have been frustrating for Yuri when Flynn had hastily stopped their heated encounter, even if he said nothing about it. He wanted to make up for it.

A light of amusement shone in Yuri's gray eyes. He approached Flynn and plopped into his lap. Before Flynn had the time to react or say anything, Yuri pulled a pouting face. The dark haired male knew that Flynn found it adorable and that it was one of the blonde's few weaknesses. Yuri almost always got what he wanted when he pulled that face.

"I don't like that kind of thing. Come on, tell me where they are," he asked pleadingly.

Unfortunately, it did not work this time around. Flynn merely smiled in amusement.

"That won't do, Yuri. You'll have to find them yourself," he answered firmly.

A playful smirk appeared on the raven haired male's lips. He took his lover's face between his hands and leaned closer to give Flynn a sweet and slow kiss. When they parted, he looked right into Flynn's blue eyes.

"How about this then; for every kiss I give you, you tell me the emplacement of one gift. It's a fair trade, right?" Yuri proposed in a sensual voice.

Flynn mirrored Yuri's smirk while his hand got lost in the lovely dark hair, caressing the soft strands.

"I don't know. You'll have to convince me the trade is worth it," Flynn whispered teasingly.

Yuri chuckled. "Do you need me to show you again? I don't mind," he answered in a whisper.

He did not wait for an answer. He leaned in again and their lips locked in another sweet kiss. Flynn arms snaked around Yuri's waist and kept him gently against his chest as they kissed. The blonde could never get enough of Yuri. It felt like he discovered the delicious taste of his lips again and again, and he always needed more. He was his sweet addiction.

When they parted, Flynn's smile turned gentle.

"Go check the drawer of your bed table," he said simply in a defeated tone.

He had just finished the words that Yuri got off his lap and hurried to his bedroom like a hyperactive kid in search of sweets.

Flynn should have felt discouraged, but he was not. He merely smiled fondly and chuckled at his lover's antics.


Day 17

It was a long time since Yuri felt so content. Flynn's parents were away for the week-end on a business trip and Flynn had invited Yuri at his home after the latter's work. The raven haired male accepted and they settled in front of a movie, cuddled together on the couch and wrapped into a thick blanket.

Yuri loved that. He felt at peace, warm, and secure when he was lying in his lover's arms. It still amazed Yuri how far he and Flynn had come from. They could not stand each other in the beginning, and now here they were. Yuri could not picture his life without the blonde in it anymore. He could not believe he knew him for only a few months. It felt like much longer than that to him.

This train of thoughts brought Yuri somewhere he did not want to go. It brought him towards depressive thoughts, and no matter how much he tried to push them aside, it did not work. The raven haired male soon sighed annoyingly. Flynn stopped caressing his lover's hair at that.

"What's wrong, Yuri?" he asked gently.

Yuri unconsciously grabbed a handful of the blonde's shirt under the blanket. He sighed again.

"I just... I don't want you to go," he said quietly in a bothered tone.

Flynn frowned at that and tried to see Yuri's face, but he could not from where he was.

"What's that all of a sudden? I'm not going anywhere," Flynn answered in confusion.

Yuri snorted. "Idiot. You know what I mean. How long do you think you'll stay in town this time?" Yuri asked in a still quiet tone.

Now, it was Flynn's turn to sigh. He resumed his caress, letting his fingers slide slowly through the silky strands of hair.

"Don't worry about that. I already told you once; I'm not leaving you alone. If my parents leave again, I'll tell them that I want to stay here. I guess that whether I have to find a job or not will depend on if they decide to help me monetarily or not," Flynn answered in an unwavering tone.

Yuri realized he was really sincere when he was telling him that. The blonde would do whatever was necessary to stay with him. Yuri pushed away from Flynn enough to lift his face and look at him.

"Then what about taking over the company? If your parents don't agree with that decision, it might screw that too and even your relationship with them," Yuri commented.

Flynn shrugged his shoulders. "Then it will happen. Anyway, I'm really not sure I want to follow into their footsteps, you know. It never was my desire. It was always theirs," the blonde said in all honesty.

Yuri kept looking at Flynn with a somewhat worried expression on his face. Flynn flicked his forehead gently and smiled at him.

"Worrying over such things is not like you, Yuri. Look, I'll face the situation if it happens. There's no use thinking about it now, right?" he said gently.

Yuri kept staring at him for a short moment before he settled back against Flynn with a soft sigh.

"Baka," Yuri muttered quietly and Flynn almost missed it.

The blonde chuckled softly. "Love you too, Yuri," he said with humour.

He was rewarded with a snort. They stopped talking for a while, their attention returning on the movie playing on the TV. After a while, Flynn gently called his lover's name. Yuri made a small noise of acknowledgment, telling Flynn that he was listening.

"Do you want to stay the night? Since my parents won't be here for the whole week-end, you could sleep with me in my room," Flynn suggested.

Yuri smirked, but his boyfriend could not see it. "Thanks, but I prefer we sleep here," Yuri said.

Flynn chuckled. "This couch sure is comfy, but I don't feel like having another stiff neck," he commented gently, remembering the last time he slept on a couch.

Yuri tightened his grip around his lover. "That's your loss, then. I'm really comfortable," Yuri said teasingly.

Flynn sighed in front of Yuri's antics, but soon, a loving and caring smile stretched across his lips. They were on for another teasing battle, and Flynn would not trade that for anything in the world.


Day 18

"You don't have to always do so much, you know," Yuri said with embarrassment.

Flynn smiled in return. "But I want to. And I won't stop even if you tell me to," he said gently.

Yuri sighed and let his gaze travel around them. They were sitting in a cozy restaurant where Flynn had made a reservation. The blonde had told Yuri that he was taking him out on a date and that Yuri could not pay for anything for the entire evening. The raven haired male tried to protest, but it was no use since Flynn was as stubborn as him.

Yuri stole a glance at his lover. He was particularly handsome tonight, which made it that more difficult for Yuri to control himself. He knew that each day, he was growing closer and closer to giving up. The blonde was doing so many efforts to win over his heart and it touched Yuri more than he wanted to admit. Flynn was too adorable. Nobody had tried so much to be with him and that alone made him almost give up here and there.

Flynn noticed Yuri was deep in his thoughts. He leaned towards him and gently took his hand. It earned his lover's attention. Flynn smiled gently at Yuri.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked.

Yuri turned his eyes away, embarrassed by the thoughts that had invaded his mind. He did not want to tell Flynn about them, so he lied.

"I was just thinking that since I'm off from work tomorrow, I'd like to pay a visit to the orphanage," he said quietly.

Flynn nodded. He could understand that. Yuri was really attached to that place and he did not go often.

"That's a good idea," he answered softly.

A small smile appeared on Yuri's lips and he looked back into his lover's eyes. "I'd like you to come with me. I want to tell Marion about us. It's time I start being truthful with her," Yuri said in a quiet and unsure voice.

Flynn's eyes widened at that. The blonde searched into his lover's eyes. He found fear, but also conviction. It was clear Yuri made up his mind and that he would not go back on it no matter what happened.

"Are you sure it's a good idea to bring me along? Don't you want to tell her alone?" Flynn asked gently.

Yuri shook his head. "No, I want you to be there, if only to prevent me from running away at the last second," he said with a hint of humour.

Flynn squeezed Yuri's hand in a comforting gesture. "Okay. I'll go with you. Let's tell her together," he answered.

His answer seemed to lift a weight from the raven haired male's shoulders. A short moment later, the waitress came up to them with their plates. Flynn released his boyfriend's hand and they began to eat in a comfortable silence.

When they left the restaurant, Flynn asked Yuri if he wanted them to go to the movies. Yuri accepted, as long as they did not watch a romantic movie. He had enough mushiness in his life already. Flynn chuckled at that. They were walking side by side in the street towards the movie theatre and it was snowing softly.

Flynn looked over at Yuri and was left speechless at the sight of his lover. Soft white snow was tangled in his hair, contrasting with the dark color of it. His cheeks were a soft tint of red, due to the cold weather. He looked stunning. A strong and unexplainable feeling gathered in Flynn's gut at the sight.

Before he knew what he was doing, Flynn abruptly stopped and grabbed Yuri's wrist, making him turn on his heels. Yuri gasped as his lover pulled him into a tight embrace. When Yuri got over his shock at the sudden gesture, he realized Flynn was shaking. Yuri tried to turn his face to look at Flynn, but the strong hold his lover had on him prevented him from doing so.

"Flynn? Is something wrong?" Yuri asked uneasily.

A moment of silence followed before Flynn finally talked; "I love you so much."

The whispered words had Yuri blushing like never before. "Wh-what's gotten into you all of a sudden?" Yuri stammered, deeply embarrassed.

Flynn tightened his hold around his boyfriend's waist, but he did not answer this time. For the first time since they started dating, Flynn felt fear so overwhelming it overlapped everything else. He feared that he would not be able to win over Yuri's heart. He had no doubts that Yuri loved him; he would not put up with everything Flynn came with if he did not.

What Flynn doubted was if the raven haired male would be able to overcome his fear and open his heart to him. The blonde wanted it so badly; more than he ever wanted anything. He wanted to crawl under his skin and heal the wounds of his heart. He did not know what he would do if Yuri kept him out in the end.

Suddenly, soft and cold hands touched the sides of his face and turned it to the side. His eyes bore deeply into lovely, worried gray eyes.

Yuri smiled softly at him. "Flynn... Whatever you're thinking about, stop it. It can surely wait later, right? Don't waste our date with those thoughts," Yuri said softly.

It seemed to do the trick. Flynn smiled back and landed a quick kiss on his lover's cold lips.

"Sorry. You're right. I'm okay now. Let's go, if we don't want to miss the movie," he said gently.

Flynn released Yuri and resumed his walk. Yuri imitated him and Flynn was surprised when he felt his lover slip his hand inside his, lacing their fingers together. He looked to the side to see Yuri smiling at him without his usual cockiness. He wanted to comfort Flynn in any way possible, even if he did not know what was wrong.

Yuri surely did not know how touched Flynn was by the gesture.


Day 19

Yuri had never felt so stressed before. He was sitting in a small room in the orphanage with Flynn, waiting for Marion to arrive. He could not stop his legs from shaking and his hands gripped the fabric of his pants tightly. Flynn threw him a worried look and when he saw how shaken his lover was, he covered Yuri's hand and squeezed it gently.

"Everything will be okay, Yuri," Flynn whispered in a comforting tone.

Yuri drew a strained smile. "I really hope so," he whispered back.

They did not have to wait longer. The door opened and Marion entered with her usual caring and gentle smile. Flynn reluctantly released his lover's hand.

"I'm glad you came to visit, Yuri. And you too, Flynn," Marion said gently as she took a seat across from the two boys.

Flynn greeted her back, happy that she remembered his name.

"Hi, Marion," Yuri said in a tone he hoped normal.

The nanny looked gently at Yuri. "Now, there was something you wanted to talk about?" she probed him gently, trying to put him at ease.

Marion clearly saw that the raven haired male was uneasy.

Yuri threw a look at Flynn and when he saw his silent encouragement, he found the resolution to talk. Still, he could not bring himself to look straight into his nanny's eyes.

"You remember how every time you asked me in the past if I had a girlfriend yet, I always told you that I didn't have time for that?" Yuri recalled in a quiet tone.

He felt his heart beat madly in his chest at what he was about to say.

"Yes, I do," Marion answered, patiently waiting for Yuri to continue.

Yuri felt Flynn's hand squeeze his again, and it gave him the strength to continue. He finally looked into Marion's gentle eyes.

"Well, I was lying. I did have time. The truth is that..." the words got stuck into Yuri's throat and he had to stop for a short moment.

This was it. He could not back down now. He managed to say the last words by gathering the rest of his strength.

"... I don't like girls. I'm gay," Yuri said the last part quietly.

He quickly diverted his gaze as silence filled the small room. Yuri could not bring himself to see the expression of utter disgust that would wash over his nanny's face. He just admitted that he was not normal, so how could she react any other way? Yuri squeezed Flynn's hand painfully as he felt himself begin to shake in fear.

Flynn had kept his gaze on Marion's face from the moment that Yuri told her of his sexual orientation. At first, there was only shocked surprise. Then, her expression turned to one of gentle understanding. Flynn realized she was not disgusted in the least to hear the news. She was accepting him. Flynn was so relieved for Yuri. The blonde suddenly felt his hand being squeezed painfully and looked at Yuri to see him shaking and visibly not well. He was about to comfort his lover when Marion rose to her feet and approached them.

Yuri let out a gasp of surprise when he felt Marion take him into a motherly embrace. He was so deep in his thoughts that he did not even feel her approach. His nanny's gentle hand caressed his hair, much like she always did when he was younger.

"Don't look like that, honey. I accept you as you are. I'll always love you, Yuri. You're my boy, and it doesn't change who you are. As long as you are happy that way, then I won't ask for anything else," Marion said gently with a voiced filled with emotion.

This was too much for Yuri. He returned her embrace tightly and closed his eyes to stop the tears of happiness and relief that threatened to come forth.

"Thank you, Nanny," he whispered in a choked voice.

Flynn was touched by that scene, but at the same time, he felt a pang of jealousy. He did not even remember what it felt like to feel the embrace of a parental figure who loves you. His parents never had time for that. Flynn shook the thought aside to concentrate on the present moment. Yuri and Marion stayed like that for a long moment. When they finally parted, Marion looked at Flynn with a caring smile.

"So, does that mean this young man is..." she let on, not wanting to make assumptions.

Yuri threw a look at Flynn and a fond smile graced his lips. "Yes. He's my boyfriend," he said quietly.

Flynn felt his heart leap in his chest at the word Yuri used. It was the first time he heard him say it to someone else and it felt insanely good. Flynn took back Yuri's hand and laced their fingers together. He then stared directly into Marion's gaze with a never ending conviction.

"I love Yuri very much. Words can't even begin to describe how I feel when I'm around him. I swear to you, just like I swore to him, that I'll never hurt him. I'll protect him until my last breath, or until he doesn't want me anymore. I want to spend every moment of my life with him. He's my most precious person. He's more precious than my own life. I love him and I'll always cherish him," Flynn said in an unwavering tone, never leaving Marion's eyes.

Yuri blushed like never before at the words Flynn uttered. He could not believe he said it all with such a straight face! Yuri felt warm inside as he clearly felt that Flynn thought every word that left his lips. Yuri suddenly felt he did not deserve such devotion and love. Not when he was not ready to let go of his fear and return Flynn's love.

Marion's voice pulled Yuri out of his thoughts.

"That's what I wanted to hear. I'll say this again; take care of Yuri for me. I know you'll never hurt him," Marion said in a voice full of emotion.

Flynn nodded, a warm smile stretched across his lips. The old woman turned towards Yuri.

"And Yuri, don't ever let go of this young man. He's a real treasure," she added.

Yuri blushed even more and turned to look at Flynn. His eyes got lost into Flynn's loving blue eyes and Yuri found himself thinking that he indeed did not want to let go of him. Ever.

They left the orphanage some time later, after Yuri spent some time with Karol. Flynn was walking a little ahead of Yuri when he suddenly felt two arms circle his waist from behind, making him stop. The blonde felt Yuri's weight rest against his back. He wondered what was wrong with his lover, since showing such a display of affection in public was not his forte. He was about to ask him if everything was okay when Yuri's soft voice reached him.

"Thanks, Flynn. For everything." The whispered words were so full of emotion that it destabilized Flynn.

He felt touched by the gesture and a loving smile appeared on his lips. He covered Yuri's hands and closed his eyes.

"I'd do anything for you, Yuri. As long as you want me around, I'll never let you down. I promise," he whispered back.

Yuri closed his eyes as he leaned his cheek against Flynn's coat. A warm smile stretched across his lips. He did not answer, but he knew Flynn understood it by the way Yuri tightened his embrace.

Thank you...


Day 20

"So, did you and Flynn have sex already?" Judith's blunt question had Yuri choke on his food.

He looked around the cafeteria and he was glad no one near them seemed to have heard her. Flynn and Estelle were not with them. Flynn had an appointment at lunch time and Estelle was working on an assignment with her teammates for her history class. Judith and Yuri were eating alone, chatting about common things when the girl abruptly blurted that out. Yuri never saw it coming, but then again, it was pretty normal coming from Judith.

Yuri looked at her with wide eyes. "What the hell, Judy? It doesn't concern you," Yuri seethed once he regained his composure.

Judith leaned her face closer to her friend and smiled devilishly. "Come on, Yuri. You used to tell me everything before Flynn came in your life," she complained with mock hurt.

Yuri snorted and turned his gaze away. "No, not everything. I don't remember ever telling you when I had sex and with who," the raven haired male answered dryly.

Judith pouted and her eyes held fake sadness. "So you didn't. Poor guy. After all the efforts Flynn pulls to win you over, you still leave him to dry. I pity him," Judith said sadly.

Yuri's cheeks burned from shame and embarrassment and he glared at Judith. "Hey, it's not my fault if we didn't do anything yet! He's the one who wants to wait, not me!" Yuri exclaimed in annoyance and only realised too late he just admitted to Judith's insinuation.

The blue haired girl seemed more than pleased, if her smile was any indication.

"How interesting," she answered mysteriously and the expression on her face told Yuri she was planning something.

It could not be good. Yuri pointed an accusing finger at her face.

"Judy, I'm warning you; don't you dare get involved in our relationship," Yuri said threateningly.

Judith pulled an innocent expression. "Me? I would never dare, Yuri. I'm hurt that you'd think that," she finished on a sad tone.

Yuri kept glaring at her, hoping it would be enough to dissuade her of her evil plans. He should know better than to hope for it, though...


Yuri had just closed his locker when two strong and familiar arms wrapped around his waist from behind. Yuri smiled and shivered when soft blonde locks brushed against the skin of his neck. A smile stretched across Yuri's lips as he felt Flynn tighten his embrace around his waist. The dark haired male felt more shivers run down his back as Flynn's breathing hit against his ear.

"Lilt me your lips, our lost breath intermingling. Synchronize our silence as lazy hours ease by. Waft cocoa, hazelnut, cinnamon, scents around me. Tremble with me in paralyzing pauses. I may no longer breathe without breathing you," Flynn whispered with passion against Yuri's ear.

Yuri forced himself to turn around in Flynn's embrace and looked confusedly at his lover.

"What was that?" he said with a hint of embarrassment.

Flynn smiled softly at Yuri. "A poem I learned. I decided that today, I would recite love poems to you each hour of the day," Flynn said in a gentle and loving tone.

Yuri fought the blush that threatened to appear on his cheeks. "Are you for real?" he asked seriously.

Flynn smiled brightly at him in answer. "Of course! I learned a ton of poems just for that, so you'll have to let me recite them to you," he answered.

Yuri opened his mouth to yell at Flynn, but his lips were suddenly stolen by a very talented blonde. Yuri's anger melted with the mind-blowing kiss. When they parted, Yuri glared softly at Flynn.

"You're an idiot, you know that?" he muttered in defeat.

Flynn chuckled at that. "Then I'm a very love-struck idiot," he answered seriously.

Yuri sighed in annoyance and broke out of Flynn's embrace. "I give up," he exclaimed while he walked away from Flynn and towards his next lesson.

Flynn laughed harder and followed his lover.

Yuri just basically told Flynn he could do what he wanted and the blonde would make damn sure he would do just that.


Day 21

Yuri feared he would go crazy, if he was not already. He thought nothing that Flynn could do would surprise him anymore, but every time he thought that, the blonde came up with even crazier ideas to mess with the raven haired male. Yuri was beginning to think he was a masochist, for he put up with every new thing Flynn came with.

Today, the blonde took it upon himself to hug Yuri whenever he had the chance. Yuri would not have minded so much, if it was not for the fact that Flynn did it regardless of where he was and who he was with. Yuri knew he would never hear the end of it when Judith and Estelle commented and how cute they looked together. Yuri was beginning to wonder if Flynn's goal in life was to make him die of embarrassment. If it was, he was well on his way to achieve that goal.

Yuri was leaving his afternoon class when he was yet again attacked by a familiar blonde. Flynn hugged him so tightly Yuri thought he would suffocate.

"Flynn, stop that! You're killing me!" he said in a breathless voice.

He could barely breathe. Flynn seemed to understand as he loosened his hold a little, but he still did not let go of Yuri.

"What can I say; I can't get enough of you," Flynn said in answer.

It earned him a very audible sigh, but Yuri answered nothing. He knew it would not change anything. He already learned that the blonde would never change.

So Yuri waited patiently for Flynn to release him. When the blonde did, Yuri resumed what he was doing; walking towards the rehearsal room. Flynn walked by his side, a happy expression plastered on his face.

"Hey, Flynn," Yuri called for his boyfriend's attention.

Flynn turned his face towards Yuri, telling him he was listening. Yuri did not dare meet his eyes as he spoke.

"Will you keep it on after the month is over? I mean all these little attentions," Yuri explained in a somewhat embarrassed tone.

A pleased smile appeared on the blonde's lips as he leaned towards Yuri to whisper in his ear.

"What, would you want me to keep it up?" he asked with amusement.

Yuri shook his head vehemently and snorted. "No, it's embarrassing and annoying," he answered briskly.

Flynn knew better, though. He knew it by the way Yuri was avoiding looking at him, which told him he was not telling the truth. He was sure that a part of Yuri loved the little attentions. Flynn was about to answer when his eyes spotted a group of boys standing ahead in the hallway and chatting together. Flynn recognized them. They were the guys who had insulted Yuri and with whom Flynn had fought the other time. One of the guys looked their way and nudged his friends who also looked towards them.

Flynn did not think twice about what he did after that. The blonde grabbed his lover's arm and turned him towards him. Before Yuri had the time to protest, his lips were stolen by a very eager blonde. Yuri closed his eyes and answered to the passionate touch. Flynn embraced his waist and brought him closer as he asked for entrance. Yuri gasped and complied, opening his lips to let Flynn inside. He circled the blonde's neck and brought him closer. Yuri was thrilled by the passion Flynn was showing him.

When they parted for much needed air, Flynn looked back towards the guys only to see them going away after throwing a murderous look in their direction. Yuri followed his lover's gaze and noticed the bullies for the first time. He returned his gaze on Flynn to see his boyfriend smiling with satisfaction.

"Is that why you just kissed me? To make them go away?" he asked unbelievingly.

Flynn returned his attention on Yuri and his smile turned gentle. "Yes. I wanted to show them who you belong to. They'll surely stop harassing you now," Flynn explained with satisfaction.

Without knowing why, Yuri felt a dark shiver run through him at the word used by Flynn. He smiled sensually as he ran a finger across Flynn's bottom lip.

"So I belong to you? Who decided that, huh?" Yuri asked in a sensual whisper.

The blonde felt drawn by the intensity of his lover's eyes. Before he knew it, Yuri was leaning in to brush his lips against Flynn.

"I don't know about that yet, so don't go ahead of yourself," he whispered playfully.

Yuri suddenly pulled back and untangled himself from Flynn's embrace. He began to walk away, leaving a stunned Flynn behind.

A few seconds later, a playful smirk appeared on the blonde's lips and he followed his lover towards the rehearsal room.


Day 22

When Yuri arrived in front of his apartment after his work, he was surprised to find the door unlocked. He pushed it open and his eyes widened at the sight that awaited him. He never saw his apartment in that state before. Someone had cleaned it and put everything in order. He could not believe this. Just as Yuri finished taking in the sight of his living room and kitchen in a clean and impeccable state, Flynn got out of his bedroom. He smiled at Yuri and came to him to greet him with a small peck on the lips.

"Welcome home, Yuri. Do you like my surprise?" he asked gently.

Yuri got over his shock and looked surprised at Flynn. "You cleaned my apartment?" he asked unbelievingly.

Flynn nodded and helped Yuri to get rid of his coat.

"Yeah. I'm not finished with your bedroom, though. I didn't think you'd be home that early," the blonde said casually.

"Well, my boss was here to close the bakery, so he let me out early," Yuri said distractedly as he kept taking in the sight of his 'new' apartment.

He knew by the state he left it that it must have taken Flynn and insane amount of time to arrive at this result. Yuri's lover was always so full of surprises, was he not?

Yuri walked all around the apartment as he still could not believe what Flynn had done.

"Wow. Thanks. But, you know, I'll probably get this place messy again in a day or two," Yuri said with humour, looking over at Flynn.

The blonde chuckled and smiled in a discouraged way. "I know. But at least, it will be clean for a day or two," he replied with amusement.

It was Yuri's turn to chuckle. When he was about to enter his bedroom, Flynn blocked his way. Yuri looked at Flynn with curiosity.

"You can't go in there yet, Yuri. I'm not finished cleaning your bedroom," Flynn said. Yuri merely smiled in return.

He caught Flynn by the collar and leaned closer. "It doesn't matter, because I intend to get it messy right now," Yuri whispered mysteriously.

Before Flynn could comprehend what was happening, Yuri turned them around and dragged Flynn into the bedroom with a sensual smile plastered on his lips.

Flynn could not help but smile in return.


Day 23

When Yuri left work that day, he was really tired. It had been one hell of a busy evening. Yuri had received a huge command of cakes and he even had to make an enormous cake for a wedding the next day. Now he just wanted to go home and sleep. However, he knew his plans would likely change as soon as he stepped outside of the bakery.

Flynn was waiting for him to finish his shift. Already, some of the tiredness Yuri felt melted away at the sight of his lover. Flynn smiled when he saw his boyfriend. He joined him to greet him properly with a kiss. When they parted, Flynn looked right into Yuri's tired eyes.

"Good evening. How was work?" he asked gently.

Yuri sighed. "Busy. I'm freaking tired," he said with a voice that reflected his words.

Flynn wrapped an arm around Yuri's shoulders as they began to walk.

"Okay, I get it. I'll have just what you need to make you relax," he said.

Yuri eyed him suspiciously. "Should I be scared or not?" he asked carefully.

"No, not this time, I promise. Why are you always so suspicious of me?" Flynn asked with a hint of hurt, but Yuri suspected it was faked.

He snorted. "Do you blame me? With the stuff you pull every day, it's no wonder I get like this," Yuri protested.

Flynn tightened his grip around Yuri's shoulders. "Well, don't worry this time. I swear you'll like it," Flynn assured his boyfriend.

Yuri answered nothing. He was growing curious, but he knew that Flynn would not say anything even if he were to ask. Anyway, it was barely a ten minutes walk to his apartment. He would know soon enough.

They arrived at Yuri's apartment. As soon as they removed their coats and boots, Flynn guided Yuri to his bedroom. Yuri was about to ask what Flynn had planned, but the blonde went ahead of him.

"Get on your bed and lay on your stomach," he ordered gently.

Yuri frowned at that. "Okay..." he said in a careful tone, but he still did as Flynn asked of him.

He settled comfortably on his stomach. A moment later, Yuri felt the mattress shift as Flynn climbed on it. Soon, Yuri felt Flynn's weight on him as the blonde straddled his legs on the bed. A second later, two warm hands were on his shoulders, massaging and kneading the skin through his shirt.

Yuri let out a satisfied sound without his consent. Flynn chuckled and leaned over his lover until his lips were near Yuri's ear.

"Relax and enjoy," he whispered as he let his hands continue his miracle work.

Yuri made a sound of acknowledgment and relaxed. It proved easy to do as Flynn's wonderful hands chased all the tension in his back. Flynn was really good. Too good. He might get Yuri addicted to it. Yuri closed his eyes and did not try to stop the purrs of contentment that escaped his lips as Flynn worked gently but firmly on his back.

Flynn was glad to see Yuri relax. He was really stressed out with his work, the play, and the upcoming exams lately. A massage would at least release some of that stress he felt. Flynn let his hands go down and as he was working on Yuri's lower back, he heard Yuri let out very audible moan. Flynn would have teased Yuri about finding one of his erogenous spots if the sound did not arouse him like that. He made a mental note not to touch that spot again or Flynn would soon not be able to control himself. It was getting harder and harder to do so as he really wanted to get intimate with Yuri.

Flynn was growing impatient for the month to be over, just like Yuri had told him once, but he knew it would be best to wait. Plus, Yuri still did not tell him he would give Flynn his heart and the blonde kept the hope that he would in the last seven days. He wanted it so badly; Flynn did not even want to think about what would happen if Yuri refused him this.

Flynn shook those depressive thoughts away. Right now, he needed to concentrate on making his lover relax. He would have much time to think about that later.


Day 24

That Friday night, Yuri was off from work and had the entire evening to spend with Flynn. Knowing that, the blonde proposed that they take a long walk around the city and up to the park where he once sat to draw. The evening was rather warm and it was the perfect weather to be outside. Taking walks was not really Yuri's forte, but he accepted nonetheless as he would be with Flynn. It was all that mattered.

They were now walking side by side on the streets of their district. They were holding hands and Flynn was wearing a very happy expression. Yuri noticed it and frowned.

"Why are so happy?" he asked with confusion.

Flynn leaned in to leave a gentle kiss on Yuri's temple. "Because you're letting me hold your hand in public," he answered.

Yuri looked away, embarrassed. "Well, it's something that couples usually do, right?" he said quietly.

Flynn squeezed Yuri's hand tighter, which brought the raven haired male's attention back on him.

"Still, it makes me happy to be able to do that with you," the blonde said in all honesty.

The happiness on his face was so contagious that Yuri soon found himself smiling without any reason.

"It doesn't take you much to be happy," he commented.

Flynn smiled. "You're right. Just being able to spend time with you is enough to brighten up my days," the blonde answered.

Yuri sighed in annoyance and avoided looking into his lover's eyes. "There you go again with your cheesy lines. I can't believe you," Yuri muttered with embarrassment.

Flynn did not comment on it. He could have tried to deepen his boyfriend's embarrassment, but he thought he could have some pity for him just this once. Not only that, but Flynn did not want to anger Yuri right now. He wanted them to spend a quiet, peaceful evening together.

The blonde was so lost in his thoughts that he almost missed what Yuri just said. Fortunately, he did not.

"I like being with you too," Yuri muttered quietly, as if he did not want Flynn to hear him, but he did.

Flynn could not explain what he felt inside at those whispered words. It was nothing like a "I love you", but coming from Yuri, it was already a beginning and Flynn could not ask for more. His smile brightened up like never before and he stopped walking to gather Yuri into his arms and give him a passionate kiss.

Yuri was taken aback by that sudden movement, but he quickly complied and returned the kiss with as much passion. Like every time Flynn kissed him like that, Yuri felt all those emotions, those sensations wash over him and it made his head spin and his heart beat madly in his chest. He could never get enough, and every time they pulled apart, Yuri had to stop himself from pulling the blonde into another searing kiss.

When they pulled apart, Yuri leaned his face into Flynn's neck to hide the blush spread across his cheeks. That was the main reason why he hated the fact that Flynn was so sweet. It always made Yuri blush and he hated looking like that. It was so embarrassing and never before did it happen. Flynn was ungodly gifted with making him feel weak. Yuri knew he would have to get used to it, if he was to continue dating Flynn. Still, it unnerved him.

Flynn found Yuri unbearably cute right now, trying to hide his blushing face. He wanted so badly to tell his lover that, but Flynn managed to stop himself. Instead, he merely held Yuri against him and hoped for this moment to never end.

He could truly die happy like this, holding his precious Yuri against his heart.


Day 25

Yuri was just finishing putting up some money into the cash register when the bell at the door rang, telling him a new customer just arrived. Yuri lifted his eyes from the cash register and smiled when he saw a familiar blonde walk towards him. Yuri leaned over his counter and smiled seductively.

"What can I get you, stranger?" he asked playfully.

Flynn stopped in front of Yuri and his smile turned playful too.

"How much for a kiss?" he asked as he leaned closer.

Yuri grabbed the back of Flynn's head and brought him closer.

"You're lucky; kisses are free today. Courtesy of the pastry cook," he whispered before claiming Flynn's lips in a slow and sweet kiss.

When they parted, Flynn chuckled. "I'm indeed lucky," he replied.

Yuri smiled sleazily, but he did not answer. When Flynn straightened up, he looked around the bakery.

"Ellie is not working today?" he asked with what seemed to be slight relief.

Yuri did not miss that. He raised an eyebrow at Flynn while he bent down to rearrange cakes behind the show window.

"Why, are you scared of her?" he asked with humour.

Flynn shook his head. "No, but I'm kind of uneasy when I'm around her. I don't like the way she looks at me," the blonde said truthfully.

Yuri smirked. "You'll have to get used to it. She's always been like that, and it's worst because you're dating me," the raven haired male explained.

He finished replacing the cakes and straightened up. Yuri smiled at his lover.

"Well, since you're so uncomfortable around her, you probably should get going because she will be here soon. She's taking her break," Yuri explained.

Flynn shook his head. "Well, I can't. I'm here to buy a cake," he said.

Yuri's curiosity was sparked by that. "Oh? Is it for someone in particular?" he inquired with a small smile on his lips.

Flynn entered the game. "Yes, but it's not someone you know," he said casually.

Yuri's smile grew devious. "In that case, I could help you choose a cake if you tell me that person's tastes," he said, never leaving his boyfriend's eyes.

Flynn held his gaze with gentle amusement. "He's a sucker for sweets, so it shouldn't be difficult to find something. But I found out chocolate and vanilla are his favourite flavours," Flynn said with a hint of a smile.

A glint of mischief appeared in the raven haired male's eyes. He bent down behind the show case and pointed a cake to Flynn.

"Then how about this one? It's called 'Decadent Pleasure'. It's a cake with vanilla topping and chocolate fondant inside. It also has a subtle hint of strawberries and raspberries. I know it's one of my favourites," Yuri added, knowing full well that Flynn was buying that cake for him.

Flynn's smile soon became one of amusement. "Fine, I'll take that one. Can I have you write something on it?" he asked.

Yuri's eyes now creased in suspicion. "Yeah. What will it be?" he asked, already fearing the answer.

Flynn looked right into Yuri's eyes as he answered, not wanting to miss his reaction.

"Be mine forever," he said.

The annoyed and resigned expression that appeared on Yuri's face had Flynn laugh openly.

Yuri glared at Flynn for pulling yet another one of his overly romantic, crappy ideas. Yuri took the cake and went in the back store without another look at his stupid boyfriend. He cursed aloud all the time it took him to write the cheesy message. When he went back behind the counter, Flynn was still looking at him with amusement. Yuri kept glaring at Flynn, which was a deep contrast with the blush of embarrassment that tinted his cheeks.

"It's twenty five dollars," he announced the price.

Flynn paid him without a word and watched as Yuri packed up the cake. Once he was done and was about to give it to Flynn in a harsh gesture, the blonde leaned in to kiss him quickly.

"Keep it," Flynn whispered after he broke the kiss.

Then, before Yuri had the time to protest, Flynn was already leaving the bakery. If there were not several clients eating at the tables in the bakery, Yuri would have cursed loudly. He had not seen that one coming.


Day 26

Yuri was nudged awake at an ungodly hour of the morning. He tried to go back to sleep, wondering why the hell Flynn was trying to wake him up when the sun was not even up yet. He soon found out that Flynn could be really convincing when he wanted something, and right now, he wanted Yuri to wake up. After cursing Flynn to the end of the Earth, he finally heard the blonde tell him to dress up and get ready to go outside.

Yuri was still in a brooding mood when Flynn pulled him out of his apartment. He began to wonder where the blonde was taking him when they did not leave the building. Instead, Flynn brought Yuri up the stairs and to the top floor.

"Where are we going?" Yuri asked in a sleepy tone, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

Flynn did not turn around as he kept dragging Yuri around. "You'll see in a minute," he answered casually, already looking more than awake.

Yuri wondered how he did that. It was barely six in the morning. Yuri did not remember ever getting up that early a Sunday morning.

They soon arrived in front of a closed door marked 'employees only'. Flynn released his hold on Yuri and bent down in front of the locked door. Then, in front of Yuri's disbelieving eyes, Flynn began to pick the lock.

"Hum, Flynn, I don't think we're supposed to get past here," he pointed out.

Flynn did not stop, though. "I know, but it's only for one time. I don't see the harm in it," the blonde answered.

Yuri shook his head in amusement. "I never thought Mr. Perfect could stoop so low as to pick locks," he said mockingly.

Flynn chuckled, taking no offense in Yuri's nickname. "It's your influence. You're rubbing too much on me," he answered distractedly.

A minute later, Flynn successfully picked the lock and opened the door.

"Come on," he said.

Yuri followed his lover, now really curious about what the blonde was planning this time. They climbed the stairs and were soon in front of another door, unlocked this time. Flynn opened it and Yuri realized he had brought him on the roof of the building. The cold air of the morning hit him as he took his firsts steps on the roof.

The raven haired male looked all around them. From up there, they had a really good view on their surroundings. Yuri was lost in his contemplation and he did not feel Flynn gently grabbing his hand. Yuri turned his face towards his lover, who was smiling at him.

"Why do you think I brought you here so early in the morning?" he asked.

Yuri raised an eyebrow. "I dunno, maybe now you want to kill me and hide my corpse on the roof?" he answered in a seemingly innocent tone.

In fact, Yuri knew why Flynn brought him here; he wanted them to watch the sunrise together. It was overly romantic and mushy; in other words, it was so like Flynn.

The blonde shook in head in discouragement. He pulled on Yuri's hand, gently guiding him towards the wall besides the door they took to get here.

"Whatever you say, Yuri," he answered with slight amusement.

Yuri let himself be pulled over and they sat side by side against the wall. Yuri cuddled closer to Flynn for them to share their warmth through their coats. Flynn looked at his watch.

"The sun will rise in about five minutes," he said quietly.

Yuri nodded, but he said nothing. He was still too asleep to maintain a conversation.

Flynn seemed to have sensed it, since he just held Yuri against him in silence, looking at the still dark sky. Not long after, they saw the sun rise slowly, painting the sky with beautiful orange and red colours. A smile stretched across Yuri's lips and he leaned his head against his boyfriend's shoulder.

"It's beautiful," he whispered quietly, as if talking louder would break the magic of the moment.

Flynn held Yuri tighter against him. "Yeah, you're right," he whispered back before landing a sweet kiss on his lover's forehead.

As they watched the sunrise together, Yuri did not mind so much now being awake so early in the morning.


Day 27

When Flynn arrived at college that Monday morning, he was surprised to find Judith waiting patiently for him. He guessed she was waiting for him as she was leaning against his locker. As he approached, the blue haired girl lifted her face in his direction. A smile that Flynn really did not like painted her lips. That devious smile was still plastered on her face when Flynn stopped in front of her.

"Good morning, Flynn," she said too casually.

Flynn eyed her suspiciously, but he answered her like everything was normal.

"Good morning to you too, Judith. Do you need something?" he replied politely.

Judith's eyes sparkled with something Flynn was not able to put his finger on. Judith straightened up and pulled a small box from behind her that she handed to Flynn.

"In fact, I wanted to give you this," she said casually.

Flynn eyed the box curiously. "What is it?" he asked.

Judith merely smiled mysteriously. "It's a surprise. Let's just say it'll be most enjoyable for both you and Yuri, believe me," she answered and the devious glint in her eyes increased in intensity.

Flynn recognized it now; mischief. He suddenly felt like taking that box would not be such a great idea.

Judith seemed to understand Flynn's hesitation as she pouted with sadness gleaming in her eyes.

"Don't you trust me?" she said dejectedly.

Flynn froze in front of such an expression. Right now, she made him think so much of Yuri. They were so alike sometimes that it was almost scary. Flynn found himself taking the box from the girl's hands before his mind even processed his action.

"Thanks," he answered uneasily. The fact that he took the box did not mean he trusted what was inside.

Judith smiled brightly, completely destabilizing Flynn with the quick change in attitude. "Good! Just one thing, though; you should open it at home," she whispered maliciously and winked at her friend.

Before Flynn had the time to ask her the meaning of her words, the girl was already going away in a hurry. Flynn just stood in front of his locker staring in the direction she took off, completely dumbfounded.

He did not have the time to recover from her brusque disappearance before someone else crept on him. Sudden pain flared in the back of the blonde's head and he hissed in pain. He turned around brusquely to see a fuming Yuri glaring at him. He could not place one word that Yuri was exploding at him, brandishing a drawing of himself in front of Flynn's eyes.

"The hell, Flynn? After the post-it, you found the idea to decorate my apartment with drawings of me? What's wrong with you?" the raven haired male exclaimed in an unbelieving tone.

Flynn smiled apologetically in return. "Because I love you?" he answered quite honestly.

Flynn saw Yuri froze and a few seconds later, the furor on his face was replaced by a furious blush at the words the blonde just said. Yuri opened his mouth to reply something, but he could not find anything to say to that. He snorted in annoyance before suddenly walking away from his lover with loud curses.

Once again, Flynn was too stunned to do anything but to stare at his lover's retreating back. He then turned his gaze towards the other end of the hallway, almost expecting Estellise to run to him. He let out a sigh of relief when he realized she was not coming. What was wrong with everyone this morning? Okay, he might have deserved Yuri's reaction, but still...

Flynn looked at the box in his hands. He shook his head in discouragement. The blonde opened his locker and put the box inside. He then took his things and closed his locker, departing towards his first lesson. After that, he would have to confront Yuri and make him forgive him. He had already one hell of a day waiting for him.

When the day finally ended and Flynn went back home, he went to his room and dropped his things on his bed. He then grabbed the box Judith gave him and eyed it suspiciously once again. He feared what was inside, but his curiosity won over his fear.

Flynn sat on his bed and proceeded with opening the box. Once it was done, Flynn saw some silk paper was hiding whatever was under it. Flynn got rid of it and could finally see what Judith had given him. He stared at the items, not really believing what his eyes were seeing. Flynn took hold of the first item and lifted it to look closer. Handcuffs. What the hell... Oh.

The blonde felt his cheeks burn hotly as he realized for what purpose Judith gave him that. As if it was not enough, there was something else hiding under the paper. It was a small box. Flynn could not see what was written on it as the box was upside down. Fearing what it could be, the blonde still took the box and lifted it to read what was on it. 'Fetish fantasy extreme; leash and collar'. Flynn dropped the item, an expression of horror appearing on his face while his entire face burned in shame.

He wanted to die so much right now.


Day 28

It took an entire day for Flynn to overcome his shock at Judith's unusual gift. Flynn did not tell Yuri about it and hid the items somewhere he was sure Yuri would not think to look. There was no way he was using them, so he thought there was no use telling Yuri about their existence. Flynn hoped that keeping them hidden might also help him forget about them.

Fortunately, the blue haired girl mentioned nothing about her gifts when she saw Flynn. She did throw him insistent looks and she smiled sleazily at him, though. The blonde tried his best to ignore her. Anyways, he had other priorities, namely a certain dark haired male.

Two days from now, he and Yuri would be together for a whole month. It also meant the end of their 'agreement'. Flynn was both thrilled and nervous by it; thrilled because they would finally get intimate, and nervous because he had no idea what was going through his lover's mind. Did Flynn manage to change his mind? Or did Yuri still want them to be friends, but with the added benefit of sex? Flynn did not know and it was killing him.

He knew he could just ask Yuri, but he did not want to push his lover since there were still two days left. So Flynn kept silent about it, hiding his torments deep within him and trying to look normal through it all. It did not go past Yuri's eyes, though. The raven haired male saw that something was wrong with his lover, and he had doubts about the reason behind that.

He confronted Flynn about it once they were at Yuri's apartment at the end of the day. They were busy rehearsing their text for the play, sitting on Yuri's couch, but the raven haired male could not concentrate on his text because of his thoughts. Flynn noticed how his lover was preoccupied by something. Flynn looked worriedly at his Yuri.

"Yuri? Is something wrong? You seem preoccupied," Flynn commented with slight worry in his voice.

Yuri sighed at length and looked right into Flynn's eyes. "I should be the one asking you that, Flynn. You weren't yourself today. You kept spacing out and it worries me. What's on your mind?" Yuri asked.

Surprise washed over the blonde's face. He did not expect Yuri to notice it. Now that he did, Flynn did not see the point in lying. His gaze saddened as he took Yuri's hands in his gently.

"Well, I'm... scared. There's only two days left and I have no clue what is going on in your head. That's what scares me. Not knowing," he answered honestly.

Yuri eyes widened at first, but they soon softened. He should have known that behind Flynn's joyous and playful facade, he was worrying. Yuri did not know since when the blonde was hiding these emotions from him. Maybe he was hiding them from the very beginning. Yuri felt a surge of affection towards Flynn in that moment.

Yuri moved closer to Flynn and wrapped his arms around his lover's waist.

"I'd like to tell you to stop thinking about it, but I know it would be useless. I'm sorry, Flynn. I can't tell you yet. But I promise you something; you'll have a clear answer in two days," Yuri told his lover.

It seemed to put Flynn at ease, if only for a little. He returned Yuri's embrace and buried his face into his neck, inhaling the scent of his boyfriend. Flynn, said nothing, but the way he held Yuri told the raven haired male how grateful and relieved he was.

Even though Yuri said that to Flynn, he had no clue what to do. He knew from the very beginning what his heart wanted. That was not the difficult part. It was taking that step forward; to give his heart to someone else.

Yuri hated himself for his weakness. Yuri was not the kind of person to be scared most of the times. He was always rushing head on, facing everything life was throwing at him. However, that was a different matter. Yuri had just recently been able to mend his broken heart and he feared the possibility of having it broken again. It was all so frustrating.

Yuri suddenly felt Flynn push him gently at arm's length. Before he had the time to react, Flynn grabbed his wrist gently and attached something to it; a silver bracelet. It was simple and subtle. Something was engraved in the metal; an inscription. Yours forever. Yuri lifted his gaze on Flynn and saw the blonde smile softly at him.

"I've waited the entire day to give you this. I wanted to find the best occasion," he said quietly.

Yuri could not find the words to say. Flynn saw it. He cupped Yuri's cheek and gently caressed it.

"It's okay. I just wanted you to know how I feel. You don't have to say anything," Flynn whispered sincerely.

Yuri leaned in and captured his lover's lips, thanking him in his own way.

He swore to himself that he would figure out what he wanted in the last two days. For Flynn's sake.


Day 29

When Yuri arrived at his apartment after his evening shift at his job, he smiled when he found the front door unlocked. It meant Flynn was there, waiting for him. That alone was enough to lift the raven haired male's spirits. Yuri entered his apartment and immediately saw Flynn waiting for him in the living room. As soon as he saw him, Flynn went to greet Yuri.

"Good evening, Yuri," Flynn greeted him with a smile.

Yuri returned it. "Thanks," Yuri said in return.

He then threw a look around the apartment while he got rid of his coat.

"What did you pull this time?" Yuri asked suspiciously.

Flynn shook his head in amusement. "I'll show you. Stop being suspicious already," he complained softly.

Yuri shrugged his shoulders. "I can't help it," he answered.

As soon as Yuri got rid of his coat and shoes, Flynn took his hand and guided him to the bathroom. As soon as they entered, a small smile stretched across Yuri's lips. The room was lit by many candles spread around the small room. Looking over at the bath, Yuri realized Flynn had just run a hot bath for him. Yuri turned towards his lover and shook his head with amazement.

"I can't believe you! You prepared a bath for me?" Yuri said.

Flynn smiled and kissed Yuri on the lips. "Yes. I thought you could use it to relax after working all evening," he explained.

Yuri opened his mouth to talk, but Flynn gently pushed him forward.

"Go on before the water gets cold," he said before getting out of the room to leave Yuri alone to take his bath.

A smirk stretched across Yuri's lips at Flynn's quick retreat. Yuri slowly got rid of his clothes before slipping into the warm water. He sighed loudly at the pleasant sensation against his skin. He sank even lower in the tub, until the water reached his chin. Flynn had even put bubble bath into the water. He was so full of consideration. Now there was only missing one thing for Yuri to be truly happy, and he would do whatever necessary to obtain it. With that thought in mind, Yuri called the name of his boyfriend, hoping Flynn would come over here.

Flynn heard Yuri call him over. Knowing the raven haired male, Flynn knew he surely had something in mind, but he thought it would be rude to ignore him. Flynn got up from the couch and went to the bathroom.

"What is it Yuri?" he asked as soon as he entered. Flynn saw Yuri lean his arms against the edge of the tub.

The raven haired beauty dropped his chin on top of his arms and smiled sensually at Flynn.

"It's a little lonely in here. I wouldn't mind having some company," Yuri whispered in a sultry tone.

Flynn had to admit the invitation was most tempting. Yuri was looking way too good and desirable right now, with that infuriating smirk on his lips and with his wet hair clinging to his moist and nude skin. The light of the candles was making Yuri's skin glow in a delectable way. However, Flynn knew that he would be doomed if he went into that tub with Yuri.

The blonde smiled apologetically at his lover. "I'm sorry, Yuri, but I'll pass this time," he said.

Yuri pulled his pouting expression at that. "It's a shame. Can I at least have one kiss?" he asked in a seemingly innocent tone.

Flynn thought it was a reasonable demand. His smile turned gentle and he walked towards Yuri. He stopped in front of the tub and as he leaned towards Yuri to give in into his demand, he missed the mischievous glint that appeared in the gray eyes. A second later, two wet hands grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him forward, making him lose his balance.

It happened so fast that Flynn did not have time to grab something to prevent his fall. He let out a cry of surprise and fell into the tub with a loud splash, right on top of Yuri. When he managed to straighten up, he grimaced as he felt his wet clothes stick to his skin. The sight was too much for Yuri. He laughed hard at the sight of Flynn completely drenched. The blonde did not share his lover's enthusiasm.

"That's not funny, Yuri. Do I have to remind you that you pulled me into the tub completely clothed?" Flynn said in discontentment.

Yuri was far from being impressed. His arms circled Flynn's neck and he brought his lover close.

"At least I got you where I wanted," he whispered sensually.

Flynn found out that resisting Yuri when he looked like that was really too hard to do, so he just gave in. He smiled in discouragement.

"You're unbelievable," he whispered in defeat before claiming those tempting lips stretched into a smirk.

The kiss was slow and sensual and Yuri found himself wanting more. He opened his lips to let Flynn inside and gasped when he felt the blonde's tongue gently caress his lips before pushing past them to explore his mouth. Yuri hands went down to Flynn's wet shirt and he slowly began to unbutton his shirt. Flynn broke the kiss and looked deep into Yuri's eyes.

"Yuri..." he said in a soft warning tone.

The raven haired male held his lover's gaze. "Come on, Flynn... There's only one day left. Don't you want me right now?" he asked in a sultry tone that sent shivers of want down Flynn's spine.

The blonde stared at the sight of his lover, looking so wanton right now... God, he wanted him so much. However, Flynn kept his control unwavering. The blonde brushed a wet strand of hair out of Yuri's face.

"I do, but I want to wait tomorrow. I'll have a surprise for you," he said.

Yuri shook his head in amusement. "Alright, but I'm afraid it's your loss," Yuri said with a small and tempting smile.

Flynn chuckled and leaned in to claim those delectable lips again.


After his forced bath, Flynn had to borrow some of Yuri's clothes. He got out of the bath before Yuri, letting his lover the time to wash himself. When Yuri got out of the bathroom, he was in the midst of brushing his wet hair. Flynn was struck with the sudden desire to brush those soft strands himself. With that idea in mind, he joined Yuri and gently took the brush from his lover's fingers. Yuri looked questioningly at Flynn.

"Let me do it," Flynn asked gently.

Yuri was surprised at first, but he quickly got over it. He smiled and nodded.

"Okay, if you want," he answered.

The raven haired male went to the couch and sat on the ground, his back against it. Flynn went to sit behind Yuri on the couch. He then gently took the long black hair he loved so much and began to brush them carefully. Yuri closed his eyes and revelled in the sensation of Flynn's hands in his hair.

Flynn smiled when he felt Yuri relax to his touch. He could do this forever. As much as Flynn loved Yuri's fiery temper, he also loved those rare, peaceful moments he could spend with the raven haired male. It did not happen often, so Flynn took advantage of every last one of them, especially since he did not know the future. As he kept on brushing his lover's hair, Flynn's thoughts went to what would await them tomorrow. The mix of excitation and apprehension came back to him.

He did not know what to expect and it scared him. It scared Flynn, because he might get his heart crushed the next day, depending on Yuri's decision. He could only hope.


Day 30

No matter how hard he tried to concentrate on his classes that day, Yuri could not do it for the love of him, so he gave up a long moment ago. His thoughts were on one person; Flynn. Yuri was conflicted. Today was the day Flynn was waiting for his answer; if Yuri was ready to give him his heart or not, and Yuri was scared shitless. He thought he would figure it out by now, but he was still unsure of what he should do. It was pathetic. Flynn had been so sweet in the last month; always showing Yuri that he cared and loved him like a madman. That alone was enough for Yuri to know Flynn deserved it, and God knew Yuri wanted to give him all of himself.

Yuri thought back on Flynn's attitude since the beginning of the day. He was so sweet; whenever he saw Yuri, the blonde whispered sweet and loving words to his ear. It still did not completely hide the nervousness Flynn felt. Yuri could see it. His lover was anxious about Yuri's decision.

However, Yuri was paralyzed by fear, a fear so strong that it prevented him from taking his decision. What was wrong with him? Yuri was not himself when it came to these things. He sighed loudly. He tried to push the thoughts away until he would see Flynn later. Yuri just hoped the answer would come to his mind when he would face his lover.

The rest of the day was a real torture for both males, especially the rehearsal. They could not get any real work done as their minds were elsewhere. Raven seemed to notice it as he stopped rehearsing scenes including any of them at some point. They were really relieved by it.

When rehearsal finally came to an end, Yuri and Flynn stayed in the amphitheatre and waited for everyone to go. Yuri could not wait any longer and thus, he had told Flynn that he wanted to talk to him right here. Yuri and Flynn were both sitting side by side in the seats of the audience. Flynn knew why Yuri had asked to talk to him; he wanted to tell him his decision. Flynn was really nervous.

"So, you wanted us to talk?" Flynn said with nervousness.

Yuri closed his eyes and tried to calm his beating heart. When he opened them again, Flynn saw a myriad of emotions gleam in them.

The words that left his boyfriend's lips destabilized him; "Flynn... why do you love me? I need to know."

Flynn was not expecting this. It surprised him to hear Yuri ask that, but he quickly got over his shock. Flynn soon smiled fondly and took Yuri's hands in his.

"You want to know why I love you? Fine. I'll tell you," Flynn said gently.

He looked right into Yuri's gaze and never let go. "I love everything in you. I love your laugh; I love the way you always try to help everyone around you; I love the way you always cheer me up when I'm feeling down; I love how you make me feel like a kid all over again. More than that, I love how the mere sight of you makes my heart beat like crazy," Flynn said quietly.

Yuri felt his cheeks begin to burn as his heart kept beating faster. Yuri thought he could not take more of it, but Flynn was not finished.

A caring smile stretched across the blonde's lips. "I freaking love your stubbornness and your cocky smiles; I love the way your eyes shine beautifully when you're preparing a prank; I love how your cheeks take that lovely color when you're embarrassed." Flynn's voice was full of emotions as he stared deeply into Yuri's eyes.

One of the blonde's hands went up to caress his lover's cheek. "I love everything in you," Flynn finished, his eyes betraying the sincerity of every word he said.

Yuri suddenly felt his emotions flare up inside him. And at the same, everything suddenly became clear to him. Yuri pulled Flynn forward and his lips covered the blonde's in a desperate, passionate and needy kiss. Flynn was taken aback by the sudden movement, but he quickly overcame his surprise and returned the kiss with as much fervor.

Yuri's emotions kept rising in him and soon became too much to handle. Yuri suddenly broke the kiss and gasped against Flynn's lips. The blonde felt suddenly worried.

He opened his mouth to ask Yuri if there was something wrong, but he froze when Yuri went ahead of him and whispered soft and shaky words; "I give it to you. I give you my heart; I give you everything you want. I want to be with you."

The happiness that washed over Flynn's face was brighter than Yuri could ever remember. It stole his breath away. Yuri was suddenly pulled into a strong embrace. The raven haired male could feel Flynn shake all over. He wondered for a moment if Flynn was on the verge of crying, but suddenly, he heard a laugh full of joy.

"I love you so much, Yuri! You can't know how relieved I am to hear those words," Flynn whispered with a voice shaking with the emotion. Yuri returned the embrace, gripping tightly the fabric of Flynn's shirt.

"I love you too, Flynn," Yuri answered in a whisper, and in that moment, he knew with certainty that he did love Flynn with all his heart and that he would never take back those words.

He never wanted to lose Flynn. Not anymore.


Flynn and Yuri were walking hand in hand towards Flynn home. Neither of them talked much, since they were way too nervous to hold a conversation. They both agreed for Flynn to spend the night at Yuri's place. They just had to make a quick detour by Flynn's place for the blonde to pick up some things beforehand. However, both males knew they would do much more than just sleep together this time.

It would be their first time tonight, and Yuri was nervous as hell. He knew there was no reason for him to; he was no stranger to sex, but there was something about Flynn that made him feel like it would be his first time all over again. Yuri knew why; it would be the first time he would have sex with someone who loved him. That was what made him nervous. It would not just be a physical act; there would be feelings involved.

There was also something else that made Yuri nervous: fear. He feared that after he and Flynn had sex, Flynn would abandon him. He knew it was stupid to be afraid of that; Flynn made it clear enough that he really loved Yuri, but a part of him feared it nonetheless. However, Yuri decided he would not let that fear get the better of him. He did not want it to stop him. His desire to be with Flynn was greater than that fear.

Yuri threw a look at Flynn and saw by his expression that the blonde was as nervous as him. Yuri could understand why. Flynn had never slept with someone of the same sex, as far as Yuri was concerned. This would be a new experience altogether for the blonde. Yuri just hoped he would not freak out in the middle of it, but whatever would happen, Yuri would be there for Flynn.

Five minutes later, Yuri and Flynn arrived in front of the latter's house. Yuri looked at Flynn as they approached the door.

"Do you want me to wait for you outside?" Yuri asked quietly.

Flynn smiled at his lover with a hint of nervousness. "No, it's okay; come in," he answered.

Yuri nodded and returned his boyfriend's smile. Flynn opened the door, and still holding Yuri's hand, he entered the house. They did not even made five steps into the house that they froze in place as their eyes were attracted to the lounge.

Their gazes locked with those of two people sitting in the lounge, looking at them with closed expressions on their faces: Flynn's parents. Yuri's heart sank in his chest and he squeezed Flynn's hand until it hurt.

He then waited for the worst.


(1) Baka : Idiot

A/N: Another cliffhanger... You can shoot me now XD What's gonna happen to Flynn's parents? That's to be continued in next chapter ~

So, this was a big, long chapter full of fluff. Sorry for those who prefer angst. This chapter was not supposed to exist at first, but I thought it might be interesting to see what Flynn can do in hope of winning Yuri over. ;)

This was a real challenge for me, as I often prefer writing angst. It was also hard not to repeat myself too much. I hope I did not so bad and that you liked my idea of 'Thirty cheesy days'. Gotta love Flynn's mushy personality (at least that's how I see him).

I want to thank all of my dear reviewers again! You're all so sweet and supportive! I'm really lucky to have you all! I hope to have your support for the rest of this story! Love you guys ^^

On a side note, I wanted to inform you all that my dear Saenda posted a Story called Farewell. She's new in the fandom and her multi-chap fic is plain awesome. It would be nice of you to check her story out if you have some time to spare. I promise you won't be disappointed if you do. ;)

Well, thank you to everyone for reading this chapter and see you next time!
