" Micha didn’t mind following Samuel around a little longer. Even though he wasn’t really the one doing the shopping, he was having a little fun. It wasn’t as if he went shopping all the time really and it wasn’t as if they did anything else besides hang at the club or go out to eat, so it was something new for a change. He nodded as Samuel spoke about needing a few more things. Micha glanced toward Samuel as he took his hand and kissed the back of it. He smiled at Samuel as he held onto his hand. Micha stood beside him as he followed him through the store to get whatever else he needed. After getting everything Samuel needed, he followed Samuel toward the registers. The lines were short so they didn’t have to wait long. Micha helped Samuel load the items onto the conveyer belt. As the items were bagged, he helped to load the bags into the cart after Samuel paid.

Once the cart was loaded up, Micha followed Samuel out to the parking lot. Hearing Samuel speak, he looked toward him. Micha nodded at his words. ”No, it didn’t.” He spoke smiling at him. Micha continued following Samuel toward his car. He stopped behind Samuel’s car at the trunk while he waited for Samuel to unlock it. As the trunk was opened, Micha moved to help Samuel load the items into the trunk. After loading on the items in the trunks, he took the cart as Samuel spoke. ”Sure, I don’t mind.” Micha spoke taking the cart and walking toward the nearest cart drop off. He pushed the cart into one of the slots then returned to the car. Micha opened the passenger side door slipping inside, shutting the door behind him. He moved to buckle himself in. "

It wasn't eating out, hanging out at the club, or even each others house. To Samuel it was just another mundane task, but glancing at Micha from the corner of his eye he seemed to be enjoying himself. In a way he guessed shopping could tell Micha a few things about himself that he'd yet to divulge. Things like he was lactose intolerant, he preferred fresh produce over canned, and he really didn't care if he was shopping at a big name store or a small mom 'n pop grocery. Samuel smiled as Micha helped him load the car and took the cart back. "Thank you." he said after closing the trunk. He walked around to the drivers side, slipping into the car. Twisting the key in the ignition, the engine roared to life. Samuel buckled up and fiddled with the a/c while he waited for Micha. He smiled as the male hopped into the passenger seat, waiting again for him to buckle up before shifting gears and pulling out of the spot. Maneuvering through the small lot, out on to the main street, Samuel took the same path back to his house that he'd taken to the store.


Some fifteen minutes later Samuel was rolling up the long driveway, the iron gate slowly closing in his rear-view mirror. Above him on the visor, he hit the button for the garage rapidly coming into view to open. Coming closer, he eased the mustang into its respective place in the garage. Parking and turning off the car, he unbuckled and got out. "Wait here a second while I go turn off the alarm." he said. Shutting the car door behind him, he headed over to the garage door. Samuel fished his keys out his pocket and made quick work of getting the door open. Twisting the knob and stepping inside he was greeted with the shrill noise. He covered one ear against the noise while he punched in the security code. He gave a soft sigh as relief as the noise died moments later. Turning toward the door, hit for trunk to pop open and the garage to close. LED lights came on as the door came down. Samuel moved through the garage back to the car and gathered several bags from the trunk.

" After he slipped into the car, Micha watched as Samuel waited for him to buckle in. It didn’t take long then they were pulling out of the parking spot. He relaxed in his seat as Samuel drove out of the parking lot heading back toward Samuel’s place. The drive back to Samuel’s wasn’t long. He mostly looked out the window as Samuel drove. When they pulled in through the gates, he shifted in his seat as Samuel pushed the button on his visor to open the garage door. He glanced toward Samuel as he spoke about waiting. Micha nodded as Samuel spoke, ”Okay.” He spoke as Samuel turned the car off and got out. Micha moved to unbuckle himself. He watched as Samuel went to unlock the door, he could already hear the wailing from the alarm from where he sat. Once the wailing stopped, Micha shifted to get out of the car. He shut his door as he moved toward the back. Micha waited for Samuel to open the trunk then started to help him gather bags to take into the house."

Meeting Micha at the trunk, Samuel let him take some of the lighter bags while Samuel grabbed some of the heavier ones. With his hands filled, he led the way into the house and toward the kitchen. He left his bags on the counter and went back out to the car to gather the few remaining bags. Closing the trunk, Samuel made his way back into the house nudging the garage door closed with his elbow. Coming back to the kitchen he set the bags in his hand on the floor and began putting things away. He quietly pointed out different places Micha could put some of the items. Leaving the dinner items in the refrigerator Samuel gathered all the plastic bags and set them in a recycling bin. "Back to the bedroom?" he asked, picking up the bag of toiletry items.

" Micha took the lighter bags as Samuel handed them off to him. He followed Samuel heading into the house. Micha walked through the house as Samuel lead the way toward the kitchen. He dropped his bags off on the counter then went to remove his shoes. Micha returned as he started to unload the groceries from the bags. He glanced toward Samuel as he returned with the rest of the groceries. As they started to put the groceries away, Micha moved around the kitchen as Samuel pointed out different areas where things belonged. He didn't mind helping after all it gave him something to do. Once everything was put away, he moved to lean against the counter. Micha glanced toward Samuel smiling at him. "Sure." He spoke walking toward Samuel waiting for him to lead the way. "

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."

Samuel was grateful to Micha's help in bringing in the groceries and putting them away. Smiling back at the male, he took the last bag and led the way back to his room. Leaving the kitchen he led the way through the hall and the up the stairs. Heading down to his room, Samuel headed straight for his bathroom. He placed the hygiene products in the bathroom closet, shaving cream on the sink,and new razor blades in the cabinet behind the mirror. Leaving the plastic bag on the closet doorknob, Samuel came back into the bedroom. Sitting down on the bed, he flopped back against the rumpled sheets, folding his arms behind his head."By the way, thank you." he said, glancing up towards Micha. "For helping put away the groceries and everything." Smiling up at him, Samuel rolled on to his stomach to move to the male. He was quite content with how things were going so far today. They'd enjoyed each others company and hardly struggled through any kind of awkwardness. Their earlier cuddling and sweet kisses made him really want to think things might actually work out this time around, despite how early it was since he asked Micha to be his boyfriend. Sighing softly he removed himself from his thoughts to pay his attention to Micha.

" Micha followed after Samuel heading back toward his bedroom. He walked behind Samuel following him up the stairs. It didn’t take long for them to get back to Samuel’s bedroom. As they made it back to Samuel’s room, Micha watched as he went into his bathroom to put his items away. He waited as he stood there a little unsure of what to do. When Samuel returned, he watched as Samuel flopped onto his bed. He smiled hearing Samuel speak. ”Your welcome.” Micha spoke finding it no big deal. He moved toward the bed as he moved to lie down beside Samuel on his back. Micha was glad too that things had gone fairly well today. He was used to things not going well as well but for once they were."

He watched Micha move to lay beside him, smiling back at him. Samuel was glad things had gone so smoothly today. Though inevitable at times he disliked when they fought or things got uncomfortable. He rolled on to his side to face Micha, reaching out to take one of his hands. Turning it over in his own he intertwined their fingers. Samuel laid there quietly looking over the male. Like before his mind was blank and just felt like lying here enjoying one another's company. Today had been such a lazy but lovely day, it'd be a shame to ruin such simple bliss.

[[Sorry for the short post. Kind of short on ideas sweatdrop ]]

" As he lay down beside Samuel, Micha felt the bed shift. He glanced toward Samuel watching as he shifted to turn on his side. Micha felt Samuel take his hand and lace their fingers together. He held onto Samuel’s hand as he lay there. Micha lay there enjoying the feeling of Samuel beside him. His mind was blank as well. He was merely content just lying there. Micha shifted turning on his side moving closer toward Samuel. He smiled as Samuel moved he leaned closer and kissed Samuel. Micha slipped his free hand over Samuel’s side."

((It's alright. My post is no better.))

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."

Laying quietly Samuel kept his eyes on Micha. Watching him turn toward him and closing the space between them. His breath momentarily stilled when Micha kissed him. He glanced down at the feel of his hand smoothing over his side. Glancing back at Micha Samuel kissed him back. He kissed him twice more before pulling back. He rolled to his back again holding their entwined hands to his chest. His vision danced between the ceiling and Mich as words continued to fail him. He wasn't even sure what it was that he wanted to convey. Like? No. Micha was well aware of his feelings for him. Though a little reassure now and again wasn't a bad thing. As he continued to lay there his phone buzzed in his pocket. He pulled it out, thinking it to either probably work related or just Alaine. Seeing the new text message he swiped his thumb across the screen. To his surprise it was neither work related nor Alaine, but one of his brothers. It read We're at the bar. Get out here. We? he thought. Just who was this we and why were his brothers at his club? Writing a quick response he dropped his phone beside him he then laid the phone down beside him. Not a minute passed before his brother sent him another message. Picking up his phone he opened the new message and read. "Holy s**t!" he exclaimed. Bolting up right Samuel scrambled to think of an excuse or some sort of reason all the while muttering strings of swears. He felt like he was about to have a panic attack. Releasing Micha's hand he left his phone and the open message on the bed while he paced. The text on the screen read: Fine. Be over in five. This was bad. His brother was coming over, possibly with his other brother, all while his just-started-dating boyfriend was still in the house. How was he supposed to explain who or what Micha was to them? They knew just about all his friends, clients, and "girlfriends". And lying was out of the question because for reasons beyond him, he was a terrible liar in front of his brothers. They seemed to be able to sniff out even the tiniest of his lies.

" As he kissed Samuel, Micha felt him still beside him. He wondered if he did something wrong but he soon felt Samuel return his kiss. Micha kissed Samuel until he pulled away. He released Samuel's waist watching as he rolled away. Micha relaxed beside Samuel watching him. He felt his hand intertwined with Samuel's as he lay there on his side. Micha really had no words for Samuel, he liked to think he already knew what Samuel thought he felt as well. He had already told Samuel he liked him on more than one occasion and now that they were together, he was happy to have things established between them. While he lay there, Micha watched as Samuel pulled his phone out most likely have gotten a text. He didn't mind Samuel checking it as he lay there. It wasn't long before Samuel however was checking another message. He watched as Samuel bolted up right and started cussing to himself. Micha couldn't help but sit up as well and watch Samuel curiously. He didn't bother looking at the phone as he watched Samuel. "What's wrong?!" Micha asked curiously watching Samuel start to pace back and forth. He shifted moving closer toward the end of the bed. Micha didn't know what was wrong but he didn't like seeing Samuel pacing like this. He knew something must be really wrong for him to do this. "

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."

In the midst of his pacing his mind seemed to go on a spree of its' own thinking up every bad situation he possibly could. Just why? Why now? A part of him had thought he'd have been used to their untimely announcements, but clearly he wasn't. Taking a shuttering breath he recalled how one time he'd been in bed with another man and had just barely gotten by without being caught by pretending to have just gotten out of the shower. His poor date had to hide in the bathroom without any clothes or food for nearly five hours. Hearing Micha speak brought a pause to his panicked pacing. To tell or not to tell. Or so he thought. Telling Micha might calm him down a bit, while on the other hand might freak him out just as much as he was. Either way they had less than four minutes before his brother would be here. "My ******** brother is coming over." he replied, trying to keep his voice steady. Coming closer to Micha, he took his hand again. "He knows practically everyone I've ever come in contact with and he doesn't know you so that's a problem. The last few times they've just randomly shown up I've nearly been outted." Though speaking truly, even Samuel thought his reason for panicking sounded weak. He wished there was a way for him to properly convey just how anti-gay his family was. That he really did have reason to be terrified about an unexpected visit and he couldn't help but wonder if today was the day he got caught. Like what if he was seen being affectionate with Micha? Or what his brothers, some family friend saw him kiss Micha or one of his other flirts? Samuel had no choice but to stay in the closet. He was safe in the closet. Standing before the male his panic continued to wash over him. He took deep shuttering breathing, mentally counting his breaths to try and ease the attack.

" There was no denying that Samuel's family was anti-gay, Micha already knew that. He wasn't surprised especially seeing as Samuel was already engaged to be married even though the engagement had been set in place for years. Micha didn't want to even think about that. He dismissed it from his thoughts. Micha watched as Samuel continued to pace lost in though. When he spoke however, it seemed to pull Samuel from his thoughts. He watched as Samuel paused in his pacing for a second. Micha heard Samuel speak and it only caused him to be surprised as well. He hadn't expected Samuel's brother to ever show up here of all places suddenly. Micha watched as Samuel came closer and took his hand. He listened as Samuel spoke understanding the big problem at hand. Micha didn't want Samuel to get in trouble with him here. He knew that Samuel protected himself from being outted. Micha didn't want to be the cause of Samuel being found out. "Should I leave?" He asked not sure if that was the best idea if he had enough time. Micha didn't know how long it would be before Samuel's brother got here. He didn't knowing if hiding was the right answer either but if it was the only one, then he was willing to do it even though it really wasn't the best. "

He was actually trembling. Samuel. The man who could toss out orders to his employees, hold a room of twenty or more at board meetings, and demand the attention of any man he pleased. Yet here he stood counting down the minutes until his brothers' arrival. He didn't want Micha to leave, but he couldn't stay either. His brother didn't say how long he planned to stay. What if he stayed the night? What he stayed the rest of the weekend? He couldn't have Micha stay in hiding for that long. Micha would probably die of both boredom and hunger. Hearing him speak he glanced up. "I don't even know if you have time to leave. He was just at the club and is headed over here right now...." Samuel picked up his phone again to check the time. Two minutes had passed since the text was received. <******** he's gonna be here any minute.........I really hate asking, but do you think you can make it out the back door without being seen?" Samuel refused to let his gaze travel down to the time on the screen anymore. It would likely only worsen his panic attack. They were wasting enough time just standing there. As much as he feared for himself, he didn't want Micha to get hurt either. He didn't want to blatantly lie about how Micha was just some new client or new friend that was about to leave. He didn't want to hear what sort of comments he'd have to hear about how what an obvious f** Micha was or how he could stand being around someone like him. He knew these comments all too well. He didn't needed them repeated about another person he cared about.

" It was something new to see Samuel tremble. He had never seen Samuel in such a state before. Micha was used to seeing Samuel yelling at his staff and barking out orders. He found it odd to see Samuel scared at the moment. MIcha could only imagine what Samuel's family was like. He watched Samuel waiting for an answer to see what he wanted him to do. Micha listened as Samuel answered him. He nodded a little unsure as he sat there. Micha watched as Samuel checked his phone. He heard Samuel speak again not at all shocked by his answer. Micha nodded at Samuel's words as he slipped off the bed, "It's fine Samuel. I'll leave." He spoke moving around Samuel. Micha didn't want to stick around either and deal with Samuel's brother. It was easier if he left even though he didn't want to. He had planned on spending the day wih Samuel but his brothers sudden arrival was ruining their plans. Micha looked toward Samuel as he moved toward him. He leaned toward him as he kissed Samuel lightly on the lips before pulling away. "Text or call me later." Micha spoke before leaving the room. He left heading down the hallway toward the stairs quickly. Micha didn't know how much time he had before Samuel's brother arrived. He made his way down the stairs and toward the back door. Micha grabbed his shoes slipping them on. He opened the back door as he left shutting the door behind him. Micha left heading away from the house. He knew that that Samuel's place was close to his club, so he planned on heading to his studio instead of his house for now. "
