Day 25 – Gazing into each others' eyes
They stared at each other for a while already. They looked deep into their eyes with a straight face. Malik had always loved Mariku's eyes: unfathomable and a bit cold; except, when he was looking at him. One look was enough to give him goose bumps. His eyes trapped him like a spell. Just like hypnosis. Malik could still remember the amused look Mariku had given him when they met for the first time. He fell for his eyes immediately, even though he was really mad at him at that time. Mariku licked his lips and Malik was tempted to avert his eyes. He wanted to kiss him.
Mariku had supported his head with his palm. He wondered what Malik was thinking. Surely no such nice things like he thought of. He suppressed a grin. Ordinarily he could read everything in Malik's eyes. They showed any emotion he felt. At the moment, he looked amused. He loved to look into Malik's eyes. Even if Malik was angry with him, he enjoyed it. He loved the passion in his eyes. It was even better when they had sex. He literally forced Malik to look at him while they were having sex. The lust in his eyes kind of stimulated him more than his body.
Malik saw how Mariku's mouth twitched, trying to keep up his straight face. He rubbed his earlobe. How long would they sit here? Silently and looking into each others' eyes?
The minutes passed. Mariku's mouth twitched again, and then he began to laugh. "Shit!" He covered his eyes with his hand and Malik leaned back with a satisfied grin.
"You lose."
"Fuck you."
"Loser," Malik repeated with a singsong voice.
"Yeah, yeah, I get it." Sighing Mariku stood up and walked to the sink. He turned on the faucet.
"You simply can't stay serious."
"Fuck you, Malik."
"Maybe later. First you're washing-up, because you lost, and I won."
Mariku only showed him his middle finger.
