Hello :P It is Wednesday and I am back with a new chapter. Like the title suggests, this one also tackles the subject of Justin Morgan and Eli Williams and it takes place when they are living together. This is the one I was originally going to upload last week but swapped it out for the last for timing purposes. When it comes to the relationship of Justin and Eli, certain things like it being kept hidden and the way it ends make one think that there wasn't any nice, light moments in between. But there indeed was. And there was a lot of love once also. I hope you enjoy :3
Ages:
Justin: 22
Eli: 34
Disclaimer: I own the story and the OCs mentioned!
Also, a heads up that this chapter doesn't touch on Eli hiding his sexuality so should be good for all to read! (Although there is some swearing.)
I was told of this little tale a good many years after it actually took place. I pride myself in being an open-minded and inquisitive fellow who people find it easy to confide in. But for one reason or another, some people like to keep their stories just to themselves. Whether it's the way they were born. Whether it's the way they raised. Perhaps it's just who they are. But the time has come for it to be shared with you as well. And that is yet another small thing to celebrate.
As Eli returned home from working the morning in the Kanto headquarters of the company he was employed in, he had only one thing on his mind. Key being pushed into the lock, he had only one thing on his mind. It was not how good it felt to return to the quiet and the simplicity of his temporary home after enduring the hub bub that came with occasional office work. It was not how tired and aching both his fingers and his eyes felt after typing for so long and staring at a screen even longer.
No, he had only one thing occupying his thoughts and it was far simpler yet also complex than any of those things. The deep violet haired male smiled to himself as he turned his key in the door and pushed it open, heading properly inside. He was so looking forward to seeing the face of the person that he was currently living under the same roof as. And the gentle intrigue of what that person might have been up to while he was away caused him to smile all the more.
Shutting the front door behind him with a slam, the man from Unova was then quick to kick off his shoes and drop his backpack on the floor, discarding it completely. Following that, he ran both hands over the shorter parts of his hair before tufting at his own curlier top locks, as if they were feeling frazzled from all the thinking that he had done that morning shift.
But still, his smile did not falter. His sunken yet bright eyes were darting all over the place with mysterious enjoyment. He did not hear the sound of music coming from any corners of the house, nor did he hear the person who he was living with at the time making their own kind of brand new music. But this didn't worry him. This didn't fill him with concern. He merely assumed that the younger male was up to something else.
And because he could no longer wait to find out, those swift gestures to rid himself of some of his clothing then made him scurry down the hallways of the rented property. He really couldn't wait to see the deep purple haired male!
"I've arrived back home, by the way!" Eli called out for just one person and one person alone to hear and the quiet sound of his socks scuffing on the deep chestnut wooden floor could just be heard beneath his easy-going tones. His intrigued smile changed to a bit of a mischievous smirk as he added. "C'mon, where's the greeting party?"
The youthful being that was Eli half skidded on his socks around one corner of the house, thinking it was most likely that the deep purple haired male under his roof with him was not making his own musical sounds for all to hear because he was listening to those sounds. In headphones, most probably.
So the deep violet haired male crept into the musical studio part of the house, craning his head in to the room and running his hand through his locks all over again. His smile and glint in his eyes threatened to falter when there was not another person in sight. There were all kinds of discarded things like a guitar out of its case and large headphones on the floor and papers strung everywhere – signs that that studio room had indeed been in use before – but still, no younger male.
Eli finally stopped smiling and smirking for good. His brow knitted together and he pushed his lips out in a pouty motion before sucking on them. Despite his change in expression, he still was not worried. He just realised that maybe he didn't know the eldest Morgan son as well as he believed and that he had other things to occupy his time as well as music.
With a shrug, the Unovan male turned on his heel and went back down the hallway away from the deep red and plush decorated recording room of that house, no longer skidding and sliding as he went. The deep purple haired male must have been somewhere else in the house and up to something entirely.
In fact, it suddenly dawned on Eli that he might have nipped out for something at the shops or was kicking a football against the wall in the back garden. The deep violet haired male shrugged a second time and tousled his own locks once more. He decided that he would change into comfier clothes before having a second search for the younger man that he was living with. And so, the deep violet haired male headed off to his bedroom and intended to do exactly that.
After just a couple of seconds, Eli entered the room that he had left that morning before 9 o'clock to get to work. Straight away upon entering, he noticed the way that it was unusually dark in there with the curtains still drawn. But he shrugged all over again, and in a different way. It didn't bother him in the slightest. In actuality, it didn't bother him at all because he didn't waste time with going over to the curtains to open them. And he didn't turn a light on either. He was merely just changing. And that was thing that was going to take a couple of minutes at the most.
He still didn't hear any noises of the younger male inside their home or otherwise while he tugged his socks off his feet, finding it comfier to go without them. He didn't hear a single sound. He didn't see anything there to be seen. Not at first, at least.
Eli absentmindedly listened to his breathing as he tugged his dark cerulean blue coloured jumper up and over his head and then when the world – or rather the room – was revealed to him all over again, he uninterestingly stared at the bed that he slept far more soundly in than he had for most of his life.
He had left his pyjama t shirt and bottoms discarded on there when he left the house that morning and there were a few other garments splayed on there too and not all of them his own. But it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. So why was he staring? Why was that the focus point of his gaze? He didn't exactly know. But he didn't question it further. And he continued allowing his eyes to linger there, silently wondering where he was going to search next for the younger male.
While he wondered where the deep purple haired male could have possibly got to, his eyes travelled to the duvet of the bed, not lying flat because it had not been made. In truth, it had been left in quite the peculiar way! Eli had not remembered it being like that when he left the house all those hours ago. He was sure that he had left it smoother and more evenly spread out than the roll it was strangely in during that moment.
Eli's sunken eyes widened a little more, showing the whites surrounding interestingly blended irises as he contemplated this. But soon enough, he shrugged that off as well. He didn't have the greatest memory at the best of times. It probably had been left like that. And he had more important and nice things that he wanted to occupy his thoughts.
The deep violet haired male's hand wandered to the middle of his neck for just a second and he stroked it lightly before his digits wandered down to his white crisp shirt top button for just a second. But then he was to forgo undoing it and undoing all of them and decided to take his work trousers off instead, intending to change in a comfier pair of sweatpants.
And it was in that exact moment as he sighed and had bare legs and with work trousers around his ankles when the roll of the duvet on his bed appeared all the more unusual. In response to Eli's own breathy noise, the mound of duvet and bedding let out quite the loud sigh.
It didn't take the Unovan male another second to realise! He almost tripped over his own trousers around his ankles scurrying to the side of the bed and giving the bedding roll a bit of a shake, his eyes still remaining widened before they creased with amusement.
"Justin? Justin, are you seriously in there?" the deep violet haired male asked and the corner of his mouth quirked up with amusement also. He waited just half a second for the younger male to respond to him but the duvet roll just seemingly let out a much quieter, gasping breath before being quiet altogether. Eli took that opportunity to tilt his head and reach to flick the side lamp on before trying again, resuming shaking the pile of potential human being. "What are you doing? Are you pretending to be cookie dough or something?"
Amusement twinkled in both of Eli's eyes as he looked over the roll that he definitely knew was created by Justin inside of it and he shook his head. The deep purple haired male was seemingly doing his best to keep quiet and this intrigued the male all the more. If he was trying to hide from him and then surprise him, it wasn't exactly working from the noises he had accidentally let slip out.
The deep violet haired male sat down on the bed next to the roll of the duvet and the younger male with his legs still bare, continuing to shove the bedding parcel airily but firmly to a particular beat. Eli added more, louder words.
"Stop pretending to be a sushi roll! I want to see your face, I haven't seen you for a while." The Unovan male spoke to the younger male in a level and a bit of a monotone voice to contrast his words but the way his voice rose even louder towards the end and his eyes sparkled all the more made it obvious that he meant it.
He was glad to have finally found the deep purple haired male. However, for once he was left wondering if that was not the case for Justin with the words that finally came uttering from his purposeful duvet hiding spot.
"I want to be alone right now." The eldest Morgan son muttered from hiding away and that was all he said for a couple of seconds. No groan followed it. No sigh either. At first, no other noise followed this statement. Then at the same time that Eli's eyes widened in surprise and his brow started to furrow, Justin added quickly. "Please."
It was good to know that even in times of hiding, Justin Morgan was polite! But still, his behaviour was baffling Eli. Every time he had had to head off to the work headquarters rather than working from home, the deep purple haired male had always been there to greet him with a big smile and lots of affection. Lots and lots and lots of affection, in fact!
So this behaviour from him was strange. His straight-forward and short sentences all the more so. The deep violet haired male started to act quickly out of uncertainty why he had returned home to this rather than a typical scenario.
"Well do you think you could tell me what he bought all of this on?" Eli questioned in a hurried manner and even in his state of thoughts beginning to race, indeed wondering what had bought all of Justin's actions on, he felt the deep purple haired male stiffen in hiding though he still couldn't see his face or body at all. "Get out of there, Justin."
And with that, the deep violet haired male edged closer to the younger one on the bed and he reached his hand into the top hole of the duvet parcel, impressively managing to make contact with Justin's arm. He pulled it out. But needless to say, the deep purple haired male promptly snatched it free all over again and tugged it back inside his duvet with him, even trying to wriggle away from Eli too.
The Unovan male stopped him, any trace of amusement on his face gone for good. His eyebrows were continuously knotting in concern and his eyes were laced with this quality also. He used both of his hands to grab the bedding burrito around the middle and after he awkwardly half hugged all of it, he murmured quietly.
"Please come and talk to me… I want to be there for you." Eli uttered to the parcel of the younger male and after these words crept out of his lips, he stopped securing him by his arms and stood back up off the bed to give him space.
The deep purple haired male evidently acknowledged this from the way that he unmistakably twitched inside his duvet. While Eli stood there and ran an unsure hand through his hair, watching on, the younger male didn't do anything. He didn't do anything at all, at first.
Justin didn't twitch a second time. He didn't sigh. He didn't groan. He didn't huff. He didn't mutter. He didn't move. In actual fact, the deep purple haired male didn't move at all until Eli quietly swallowed and he turned on his heel, intending to move across the room a few paces to turn the bigger light on.
But it was clear that the eldest Morgan son mistook these actions for the older male losing patience with him and moving away from him entirely. Justin twitched a second time then and there, more violently that time. And then following that, he somehow managed to unravel himself from the tight blanket burrito that he was in with quite a lot of ease.
Eli turned back to him and his stood a little straighter but he still did not relax entirely. He would not relax until he could see the face of the younger male and knew that it was okay. It still took a couple of seconds before Justin revealed that face to Eli.
After he was properly out of that blanket roll that he had made, he kept his palms over his eyes for a second or so more. The deep violet haired male remained standing. It was as he traced his finger along the light dust of the night stand that Justin's slightly pink and screwed up expression was revealed to him.
And at first, despite the fact that there was definitely something that had caused him to want to hide away from the man that he was living with, he then had a bit of a comical expression in spite of it all as he saw the way that Eli was standing with his trousers around his ankles still! The deep violet haired male hurriedly tried to correct that situation in an equally comical way.
"Habit." Was all he uttered and he tried to grin but his mouth didn't quirk up properly, nor did his distinctive eyes light up. He especially didn't find too much amusement in his slight blunder when, after his brief amusing expression, Justin's face went back to screwing up all over again. He had a frown on his face. The biggest frown on his face that Eli had ever seen. So after making himself decent all over again, Eli lowered himself on the bed with trousers pulled up properly. He questioned gently. "Did something happen, baby?"
Now looking back and not long after I heard this tale, I was certain that it was probably a surprise for Eli the way that Justin reacted as soon as this soft name and equally soft words were uttered. It was no secret that the deep purple haired male was a versatile man and he had a switch that could flip in him that made him go from one extreme to the other in the gentlest way.
But it had to take a bit of getting used to for Eli that as soon subsided and in its place an expression of vulnerable disappointment washed over his face instead. His bottom lip very nearly threatened to pucker out. And he very much wanted to climb onto the older male's lap and be held!
However, he managed to restrain himself just a little bit. He compromised by awkwardly but a bit endearingly shuffling towards the deep violet haired male and planting his face right into his shoulder, wordlessly sniffing.
Eli responded well and his arms wrapped around the younger male straight away, one hand running over his back and the other tangling in the back of Justin's shorter locks. The deep violet haired male merely gave Justin a supportive squeeze and then he repeated the essence of his prior words in a different way.
"Talk to me, gorgeous. I don't like to see you visibly upset like this. Do you think you can tell me what happened? If anything happened?" the deep violet haired male asked in a way that left the younger male room to tell him that he didn't feel ready if he wanted – but looking back I knew that Eli was a little bit desperate to know all the same! He wanted to support him; to guide him.
Nevertheless, Eli managed to compose himself in the best way that he could and gave Justin the space that he so clearly needed. And this quietness yet unmistakeable support made answers and the truth unable to stop themselves from being revealed to the older male from the younger one.
After the deep purple haired male shuffled a little bit on Eli's shoulder and he hid his face some more, clenching his own fingers in his own lap, Justin came out with it. Well, he uttered some words is what he did really! But it was a start.
The deep violet haired male breathed out as he heard just a little bit from Justin.
"It's a huge disappointment…" Justin murmured against Eli's shoulder while the middle of his back and the back of his neck continued to be caressed gently. Or at least, there was quite a large possibly that it was these words that he muttered.
The deep purple haired male was still pressed up against the older male and this in addition to his returning pouty mouth made quite difficult to be one hundred percent sure.
So after this happened, the deep violet haired male decided that he needed to be a little firmer with the younger one and he stopped stroking him, gently pushing him away from him instead. And as soon as Justin felt Eli's hands cupping the sides of his face, the deep purple haired male knew that he had to repeat his words and much clearer.
"It's a huge disappointment." Justin repeated or perhaps stated for the first time. Either way, as his lips formed these words, his eyes that usually found themselves unable to pry themselves away from the face or body of Eli promptly darted down towards the bed and didn't stop fixing there. The Unovan male's mouth was about to open and he was about to shake his head, telling Justin that he needed to know more when the deep purple haired male opened up at last. "It's a huge disappointment… I… I failed. I got a call… A bunch of my tour dates got cancelled because not enough tickets sold. I… I failed…?"
The deep purple haired male's last few words seemed to be more like questions and as they tumbled out of his mouth, his eyes screwed up and his cheeks pouched and his ears flushed a little bit. Out of habit and desiring support after shutting Eli out initially, Justin's hands found themselves on Eli's chest for comfort. But he still couldn't look at him. And his face couldn't stop screwing up with the disappointment of it all.
The deep violet haired male listened. He really listened. His expression did that thing all over again where his bottom lip poked out before he sunk his own teeth into it, his eyebrows dancing as he processed all of what Justin had to say.
First and foremost, his sunken eyes glittered with empathy. Then his pupils dilated with disagreement. At last, his fingers wriggled with support. To show that support, the Unovan male's hands went to Justin's wrists while his own hands still lingered on his chest. Eli finally shook his head. And he spoke slowly, carefully choosing his words.
"You haven't… You haven't failed, Justin." Eli started off by saying and Justin's hands threatened to slide off his chest. In addition to this, his head ducked and appeared to shrink in size, silently heartbroken and humiliated by it all. But then again, he probably would have reacted this way to anything that Eli could have said. It was the situation that was the problem. The deep violet haired male continued. "I'm sure that you are disappointed. I can see that. And you're free to feel however you feel. But there's no need to view this as a failure. It just… It just is what it is."
It was understandable that in that moment and after sharing his burdens and getting them off his chest and beginning to acknowledge them for real, Justin looked hurt all over again. And as well as this, he scoffed. The deep purple haired male scoffed and he started to move away from Eli, rubbing his own bare arms in his t shirt.
Eli didn't hesitate to try again but he didn't shuffle after Justin, backing up his words by giving him the freedom to be and feel.
"Justin… It is just what it is, you know… Unfortunately it's just one of those things. It's nothing that you've done." The deep violet haired male attempted to find words to console the younger male but in that moment, Justin's head snapped towards the older male and I'm sure that Eli wasn't expecting it.
The deep purple haired male stopped rubbing his arms and he rubbed his temples again. And then he scoffed a second time. His eyes darted towards Eli and they had glossiness of frustration in them.
"Of course it's something that I've done. I'm the artist. I'm the artist they're paying – or not paying – to see…" Justin muttered and towards the end of his sentences, his eyes wandered down all over again and it wasn't clear whether this was to conceal frustration or embarrassment or maybe even tears. Either way, the deep purple haired male encouraged himself to swallow while Eli listened, his head tilted on the one side. Justin concluded. "It all just feels like a massive déjà vu."
And because Eli's head tilted all the more and in a very telling way, the deep purple haired male knew that he had to elaborate all the more. Justin showed off the beginnings of an eye roll and yet another scoff but he managed to restrain himself, feeling a little worn down by it all.
He still enlightened the older male, trying to stop his eyebrows from seriously knotting together to compensate for his deep inner hurt.
"When I was uncertain whether this direction and album of mine would actually work? When I was feeling the pressure of the comments and the management? Surely you remember? You said-"
And enlightening Justin in return that he did indeed remember that time and that occasion and that conversation, Eli responded, breaking the slight distance between the two of them and shuffling closer to him, just once. His head also started to tilt in the opposite way. The deep violet haired male responded, reminding him.
"Yes. Yes. And I told you that you're a superstar with enough pizazz for the entirety of the Kanto region and I still stand by that. And that still applies here, Justin." Eli told Justin with an unmoving quality to his typically fixed sunken eyes and certainty in his deep-toned voice.
But it was so very clear that it was going to take a lot for the two males to be on the same page for once. And no wonder. Justin was hurt. Justin was so very hurt. It was a disappointment to him in his career. And perhaps it was made all the more worse by him being the frontman of his own career so he only had himself to blame.
Of course, there was no one to blame. Like Eli said; it was just one of those things. But Justin held himself to the highest degree and wanted to succeed and achieve and outdo himself. He took failure in his stride. He took disappointment in his stride. But sometimes he needed to dwell on it. And that occasion was definitely one where he did exactly that.
It looked as though Justin was preparing to bundle himself up in his blanket all over again when he held the material in his fingers and pulled on it before retorting to the older male.
"I definitely don't have enough pizazz for the entirely of Kanto if I don't have the capability to sell out a bunch of the concert halls for my own fucking tour." stressed Justin rather bitterly and painfully too and then his eyes fluttered shut, creases appearing on his brow as he frowned.
And there and then and for the first time, it seemed as though Eli was beginning to get – excuse me for the lack of a better word – pissed off. The deep violet haired male was threatening to get very pissed off indeed. His eyebrows danced and they frowned. His nostrils flared just a little bit. His naturally austere jaw clenched. And he shook his head.
He couldn't believe Justin. He couldn't believe him at all. Why didn't he see what he saw? Why didn't he see this laser beam of a human being who could do it all seemingly so effortlessly? And as well as a huge sack-full of talent under his belt, he was an incredibly charming, kind, funny and generous person to boot. All around, Eli was a big fan of Justin.
He understood that he was hurt. He understood that he was hurt, disappointed, embarrassed and frustrated. But that didn't mean that he got a free pass at putting himself down. Not on Eli's watch. Not on Eli's watch at all.
The deep violet haired male finally stopped frowning and he sat a little further up. A complete levelness and stillness took over his expression. His eyes dilated with certainty yet they softened with freedom also. His voice was direct and unmoving. But it was also laced with all of the compassion in the world when he spoke. And he finally did speak.
"Justin…" Eli began in response to Justin's statement and straight away, the deep purple haired male's closed lids twitched but they still did not twitch. It didn't matter. Either way, the Unovan male continued coolly. "I want you to come to me right now and I want you to listen."
Eli made his words perfectly clear and firm and he remained patient, waiting for the deep purple haired male to open his eyes and look at him. They crept open after a couple of seconds and uncertainly, Justin craned his neck a little bit to double check what was being asked of him.
A second later, the deep violet haired male's hand stopped tousling in his own curly locks and tapped his leg. He gestured with his head to really get his point across.
And perhaps surprising Eli for yet another time that day and definitely for yet another time in their blossoming relationship, a wave of vulnerability washed over Justin's face and he prepared to move closer to the older male. As well as this, the deep purple haired male's disappointedly jagged eyes melted in a bit of a child-like way and his bottom lip finally poked out. He sniffed too.
The Unovan male pulled the younger male even closer on his lap after Justin climbed on, the older male's hands resuming their position on either side of his own austere jaw while the younger male rested his hands on either side of his neck, stroking his skin with his thumb.
For once, Eli did not blush. He had a couple more points to get across and he intended to do this with Justin sitting right up close with him. He waited until their gazes were intertwined and then he spoke.
"Baby… I know that you're disappointed and you're upset and I very much understand that. You're allowed to feel that way. I know that you think I don't understand. But I know you. I see more of you than you think. And I know what you're like." The deep violet haired male started and while he listened, the deep purple haired male furrowed his brow a little bit but he didn't lose interest. He continued listening while still stroking the skin of Eli's neck. "It feels all kinds of things right now because you just found out pretty much right now. But fast forward a few weeks… A few days even. You'll make the most of how things are. You'll write something. You'll create something. You'll come up with something. You'll have something else under your belt for those rescheduled dates. A bloody masterpiece! And before you know it, you'll be back in those gigantic rooms and having people screaming for you, adoring you. That's where you belong. It's not meant to be an easy ride all of the time. But you are capable of anything you want."
The deep purple haired male listened to the Unovan male and he really listened to him in spite of the fact that his eyes dropped down multiple times and his nails dug lightly into the skin of Eli's neck out of the embarrassment of it all. But a different kind of embarrassment that time. A better one. One that made his heart begin to pound and his stomach tingle in all kinds of ways.
When Justin was looking at Eli, he must have had the beginnings of an elated twinkle in his eye because soon enough and then and there, the deep violet haired male shared that with him. As he spoke of fondness and encouragement towards the younger male, his eyes lit up and his smile brightened. In fact, Eli's hands squeezed Justin's jaw all the more so.
"You are a goddamn superstar, Justin. I've seen the way you succeed. I've seen the way you own the rooms that you walk into. I've seen the way that you hold your head up so high and achieve so much but remain such a cosy human being to be around." Eli complimented Justin more and more and the deep purple haired male at last started to smile and he bit his lip and blushed all the more against the older male's hands on his cheeks. And despite the fact that it was the younger male who was being flattered, it was Eli who then uttered rather giddily and concluded with an extra sparkle in his gaze. "I… I have never met anybody else like you."
And that was all else that Eli wanted to say and it was lucky because Justin didn't exactly give him much of a chance otherwise. The deep purple haired male appreciated his patience and his support and was so flattered by all of his words that he showed it. He couldn't stop himself from showing it!
The younger male scooted even closer on Eli's lap and with legs resting on either side of him; he suddenly pressed his lips to his and gave him quite the passionate kiss. In response, the older male's breath hitched in his throat but soon enough he didn't hesitate to respond to it in equal measure, his hands finding themselves running through deep purple locks while Justin's hands wandered and trailed down to the base of Eli's neck.
Passion ran through their veins and became the adrenaline for their actions for quite some minutes as they didn't break away from each other, conveying a great many things to one and other through their gestures and lips. When they pulled away from each other, Justin's hair was unruly and a good few of Eli's shirt buttons were undone.
The deep purple haired male kept his fingers caressing the base of the Unovan male's neck even after they stopped kissing one and other. But then following this, their unfaltering eagerness seemed to melt away completely and softness took over instead.
Justin pried his hands away from Eli's skin and placed his lips there instead, kissing him delicately and resting his hand on his shoulder as he kept closer to him than ever, wordlessly thanking him for everything that he had done.
The deep violet haired male exhaled shakily and flushed against the touch but welcomed it all the same, the thumb and his forefinger on his right hand moving to stroke where Justin's single earring usually resided. Justin planted kisses to Eli's neck in time to the sound of the heartbeat from the older male that he could hear.
And then at last Eli stopped exhaling shakily and spoke to the younger male, glancing down at him while Justin looked up in between kisses. The Unovan male smirked gently.
"Is that what you want to be doing with your time now? Are you sure you don't want to listen to music or something?" Eli questioned and a couple of words into his sentences, the deep purple haired male stopped kissing the older one and he rested his cheek against his shoulder.
Because he was listening attentively the entire time and Eli had got the truth to come bursting out of him like a dam and it then didn't stop, Justin found it effortless to shake his head and come out with a quick response. He let out a sigh but it was no longer a disheartened one.
"I don't want to listen to any music." Justin replied but he didn't go back to kissing Eli as well. What transpired between the two of them was the deep purple haired male's fingers wandering to the older male all over again but that time, they moved up to his mouth.
Eli spoke for the second time in a couple of moments through lips that were being gently traced by the younger male on his lap.
"A documentary then? Shall we watch a documentary? I want to make sure that you really keep feeling okay." uttered the deep violet haired male caringly but lightly all the same but despite this, the deep purple haired male rolled his eyes.
In addition to this, he stopped sitting so close to him on his lap and lifted his body up so he was kneeling with legs on either side of Eli instead. Justin traced along his lips one more time before responding and then repeating his words from earlier on.
"I don't want to watch a documentary. Leave me alone." He half grunted as he told Eli but he could not dull the sparkle in his eyes and as well as this, he didn't exactly follow his own advice!
Justin sunk back closer to the older male all over again and pressed himself further up to him, tilting his head on one side in order to place kisses on Eli's neck all over again. But they were towards the side rather than at the base like before. And Justin was smirking against his skin. Eli knew where that was leading to and so stopped him before the younger male could deepen his affection!
With a gentle but firm shove with his palm planted at the front of Justin's chest, the deep violet haired male pushed him off him entirely. And he uttered.
"Do you want to shut up, then? Is that what you want to do?" Eli questioned in such a level and firm yet charming manner but because Justin was still recovering from the playful shove, part of him wondered if the older male was being serious. The deep violet haired male was forced to gasp quietly and promptly get his true intentions across by holding his hands out to the younger male and pulling him back close to him. Justin's bottom lip poked out all the same while Eli pressed one kiss to his neck and then he grinned at him mysteriously. "I'm telling you that you need to shut up for a while, Justin. You need to rest your voice. You have an important gig to do later on."
And showing that he was indeed a versatile man, as promptly as Justin had gone from playful to puckering, in that moment, Justin went from puckering to completely curious and questioning. His own expressive eyes showed that they wondered what on earth Eli was talking about.
So the deep violet haired male didn't hesitate to correct the situation, adding a new thing to his schedule while Justin worried that an appearance had completely slipped his mind.
"Of course you have an important gig to do later on. It's the most important of all." Eli continued and the deep purple haired male was beginning to think that the older male was winding him up! However before he could tilt his head, the deep violet haired male cupped Justin's face in just the one of his hands. He smiled excitedly yet bashfully at him. "You're going to put on an acoustic show for me in the other room. I'm waiting for it. I need to see what my gorgeous boy do what he absolutely does best of all."
And upon hearing this, Justin couldn't stop himself from showing off an expression like he very much wanted Eli to stop flattering him so but then he ducked his head and smiled, not wanting him to ever stop at all!
Then after Eli chuckled to himself and smiled also, reaching for the younger male's hand, the deep purple haired male looked right at him and squeezed his hand back. That was absolutely a yes. Justin was absolutely going to comply with Eli's wishes. After a few more kisses, of course!
But then after some vocal rest and after the deep violet haired male got in to some clothes ready to see a show and the deep purple haired male got set up, Eli's wish got granted right in the recording studio part of the house they were living in together as a pair.
As Justin sat down on the stool with his guitar plugged in and his pick in hand and his strap firmly over his chest – and Eli sat a few metres in front of him grinning from ear to ear – the deep violet haired male's wish was granted. But the deep purple haired male's desires came to fruition also.
And as the two of them shared that moment and shared the music and shared support for one and other – and as Eli looked on at the performing man in front of him – he knew that everything that he said to Justin had been true. He knew that he was capable of anything. He knew that he was a superstar. He knew that he could do whatever he wanted and no matter what.
Eli knew some other things as well. The deep violet haired male knew that he felt a kinship like no other and eventually a love like no other as well. But like me getting to hear this story, it took him a little while to tell Justin these things as well.
But for the time being he just watched him with a smile to himself and thought to himself. In fact, they both thought to themselves. They had found pieces of themselves in each other and it was a something that was worth shattering over.
The End.
There you go! Thanks so much for reading and I hope you enjoyed :3 So yeah... Justin certainly was interesting in this chapter, and I think you can tell when he is with Eli, he is quite a different person! Whether that's closer to his true self, who knows. It certainly is at the very least one side of him. And greatly contrasting other chapters that focus on other scenarios, when Eli is alone with Justin, he can be incredibly loving and open and supportive and very obviously affectionate! I'm glad that they did have good times. It's just unfortunately, the good times were very good and the bad times were pretty bad. But more on that in the not so distant future :P Thanks again and I will be back next Wednesday with another chapter of this story so see you then!
