Velorn awoke to his annoying alarm clock beeping repeatedly. It was 9 in the morning which meant he had about 8 hours until he had to go to the movies. He laid on his bed like a star with his face in the pillow as he thought,” 8 hours until I can see Dom again.” He squealed and blushed a bit before he got up to start his day. Velorn hopped in the shower and after washing decided he shave that day. After shaving he got out and brushed his teeth then washed his face. Heading into his closet he looked for a nice outfit that wasn’t too much, but nice enough to impress. As he was shuffling through his clothes he paused for a moment and thought,” Oh lord. I don’t even know if he’s gay.” Velorn shrugged it off and kept looking. Even if he’s not, I’ll at least try my best. He tried on 4 outfits and finally found the perfect one. He wore white skinny jeans, a maroon sweater with a white button up beneath it. Velorn knew it was hot outside, but he’d bare it if he got to look cute. He’d chose to wear his maroon booties that were velvety soft and a gold hanging chain for his jeans. He decided he’d wear his gold rimmed glasses instead of his contacts that day and he braided his hair leaving some strands hanging. He took a quick mirror pick with a wink and peace sign, posted it on his Instagram story when he saw it was already 1 and he hadn’t even eaten yet. He grabbed his shoes and ran to the kitchen downstairs to make himself a burrito. After he ate, he sat cross legged on his couch and watched some TV. When it was time to go he got a reminder call from Mik that got him giddy as Velorn put on his shoes and left his house for the movies.
********************
Velorn headed into the theater after taking a deep breathe and shaking his nerves out. Inside he saw Mik talking to their friends, they were an average friend group of 8 including himself and Mik. There was Matt(M) and Malan(Mal) who were twin brother and sister, Crillon(Cril), Allison(Is), Jake(J), and Belliny(Lin), the whole group shortened their names together when they were small considering most of their parents chose some strange names. He hadn’t caught any sight of Dom yet, but he didn’t want to seem like he was searching so he headed straight for the group. They all hugged him and said hi before Mik told him they were just waiting for Dom to get out of the bathroom so he said okay and they all kept talking, but all he could think about was when Dom would get there and if they’d be sitting beside each other. They all debated on what movies to watch before it came between two and they needed a swing vote.
________________________________
Mal saw Dom leave the bathroom, and hurriedly waved him over. “Dom what do you think, Ready Player One,” Is gestured to Velorn, Mik, Lin, and Cril,” or The Meg?” where she then gestured at herself, J, M, and Mal. Dominic knew he was their swing vote and looked between the two sides of the group confused on how it got like this during his short time in the bathroom. As they all glared at him waiting for his answer, he couldn’t figure out which to choose so he pulled out a coin and told each side to choose a side. The Meg called heads, but when the coin landed in his palm and he flipped it, it was tails. “Ready Player one it is then,” he told them. “Yes! Haha!” Mik yelled pointing at Is, but stopped when people gave them strange looks.
After getting their tickets they got in line for snacks and he observed Velorn. He looked damn good in his outfit. The shoes gave him a couple more inches, the maroon sweater brought out his forest green eyes, and the white jeans made his hair seem a darker brown than it was. Dominic didn’t know Velorn wore glasses, but the gold frames looked perfect on his face with his straight nose and plump, pink lips. Dom groaned in his mind as he bit his lip and looked back at the menu with his hand in his pocket. His attraction to Velorn was growing each minute he stood there, but he couldn’t even do shit about it.
______________________________
Velorn was feeling anxious standing near Dom like this. He was quiet as a slight blush rose on his cheeks. Dom was wearing all black from his tight t-shirt that showed his strong, muscled arms that had sleeves, one with a snake slithering down it, and the other with a flower wrapped around it, all the way down to his black jeans and combat boots. Dom had a hanging belt chain as well, but his was silver and had the leather wallet attached in his back pocket. His silver rings were glimmering in the light and his long fingers looked a bit slimmer in them. He blushed harder staring at Dom’s hands before he realized it was his turn to order his snacks. He got nachos and an icee, he noticed Dom had got popcorn and Coke and he wondered if Dom would share with him. He waited for the rest of the group by the wall. “Alright so who wants which seat? We’ve got the top row left half.” Mik asked everyone. “I’ve got dibs on corner seat!” Velorn yelled and the others groaned. They all liked that seat, but Velorn always called it first. Velorn smiled as the others drew tickets as they no longer cared where they sat.
Velorn let everyone else through first when he realized Dom was going to be sitting next to him. He slowly drank his icee through the commercials and just as the movie began he needed a refill and to use the bathroom. He pulled out his phone and turned down the brightness as he texted Mik.
V: I need a refill can you go with me M?
M: V, not this again the movie just started. I cant go now. Ask Dom he’s next to you
V: I can’t do that. That’s awkward the movie just started
M: Exactly V, the movie just started.
V: Pleaseeeee M
M: Nope, now stop I’m trying to watch the movie
Velorn tucked his phone away and as he glanced at Dom wandering how he should ask. His leg bounced anxiously when he got a text from Mik of a laughing emoji. He didn’t understand until Dom nudged his arm and nodded towards the exit of the theater. Velorn glared a bit at Mik as they left the theater for his refill and bathroom break. As he got his refill with Dom, Velorn was really quiet as he didn’t know what to say. On their way back however before they passed the bathroom he tapped Dom on the shoulder,” Can you hold this for me please?” Velorn asked and when Dom said yes and took the drink he practically ran to the bathroom.
_______________________________
Dom chuckled and smiled a bit as Velorn flew to the bathroom. He was so cute and quiet. He was confused when Mik had sent him a message just a couple minutes after the movie began, but when he read it and saw Velorn’s leg bouncing when he glanced at him he couldn’t help but agree to go with V. When he nudged him to go Dom found it adorable how wide his eyes got and the flush that filled his cheeks. Dom had noticed that he flushed easily and just wanted to snuggle him. He leaned back on the wall and took a small sip thinking of how Velorn would drink from it and not even know he’d had his lips on it.
________________________________
When Velorn came back out Dom met him in the middle of the walk and handed him his drink. Velorn to a small sip and close his eyes bit because the drink was so cold. He opened his eyes in shock when he heard an almost animal like noise. Frightened, he scooted and glued himself to Dom,” Dom...what was that?’’ He felt Dom pull away some, it made him kind of sad, but he knew Dom didn’t have the same feelings since his started. “Sorry I was just clearing my throat, that butter from the popcorn was a lot.” Dom said to him. Velorn blushed and bit his lip as he let go of Dom and backed up,” Um w-well... you can have some of my drink if you’d like. It’s kinda frozen you know s-so I think it’ll help.” He stuttered out. He saw a slight twitch in the corner of Dom’s lip as he grabbed Velorn’s drink and took a sip. Velorn folded his hands together in front of him, there’d been a moment when Dom’s hand touched his as he handed his drink over and Velorn couldn’t get the tingles in his hand to stop. Watching Dom take sips from his drink wasn’t helping him any either.
They walked back to their movie and went to their seats, Dom still holding Velorn’s drink, Velorn opened his nachos and ate a few. He was going to grab his drink when he noticed cheese on fingers and couldn’t find any napkins. Figuring there was no one else around to ask he leaned in to Dom’s ear and whispered,” Do you have any napkins? If you do could I have one?” He leaned back in his seat again to see if Dom heard him and Dom whispered a quick sure as he grabbed a napkin and handed it to Velorn. Velorn tried to get the cheese off his finger, but it wasn’t working so he began lick at the cheese before using the napkin to dry his hands. He put on some sanitizer and blushed as he drank his icee thinking about the way Dominic’s mouth had just been on the straw, his tongue, his teeth. Velorn blushed harder glancing at Dom and sinking into his seat a bit more. He was done sipping but he kept his drink up with the straw in his mouth anyway. This seemed the closest he’d get to Dom, so he’d keep it with him as long as he subtly could.
_______________________________
Velorn didn’t know it, but the whole time he was eating, cleaning, drinking, Dom was watching him from the corner of his eye. Watching him open his mouth to wide to fit the entire cheesy nacho in his mouth and the way the tips of fingers would be enveloped by his lips as they closed in on the chips. When Velorn whispered in his ear all he could think was “fuck” as he felt Velorn’s breath caress his ears. Watching as Velorn stuck his fingers in his mouth to lick off the cheese. Dom had to adjust in his seat a few times, but Velorn was so focused he hadn’t noticed. When Vel (the nickname Dom gave Velorn in his mind) started sucking on the straw to drink his icee Dom nearly lost his shit. The indirect kiss made him think everything wrong possible.
Dom pulled a sly move to get closer as he put his arm on the rest between them both and leaned his head on his hand, adjusting to a comfortable place. He tilted his head a bit more looking as Velorn blushed a bright red,” Vel- Can I call you Vel?,” when Velorn nodded he continued,” you want some popcorn? I don’t think I’ll finish.” He saw Vel’s eyes widen a bit before his mouth opened then closed. When they opened next he spoke,” Sure, I-I’ll take some.” Dom smirked a bit as he passed the popcorn at the way Vel stuttered. He leaned his head back on his hand watching as Vel’s leg bounced a little. His legs look perfect in those jeans. They hugged his thighs in a way that you could tell they were firm but still quite thick, and god when he turned around Dom could only watch the hug those jeans had on his bubbly butt as his hips swayed a bit when he walked. It was natural which made it even more attractive to him. He pulled out his phone, glad about the security screen protector so Velorn wouldn’t see what he was doing, and texted Mik.
Dom: Mik, girl, I’m dyin over here
M: What’s going on D?
Dom made eye contact with her and kind of made an eye motion to Vel
Dom: Do you see this guy? I’m burnin up what the hell
M: LOL sorry but I can’t help you. I’m sure he finds you attractive too just go to the restroom and asked for a blowie
M: Kidding, kidding
M: You’ll just have to put up with it. The movie’s almost over anyway
Dom: you’re a dick lol, but I can’t put up with this for long
Dom: he’s so oblivious it’s not helping anything
M: being a dick is better than having a dick 🤪 but anyways sorry can’t help you, deuces
Dom shook his phone a bit in mock annoyance and chuckled as he put up his phone. “When I get home I’m definitely having a wank.” He thought to himself. Just a little fucking longer.
_______________________________
Vel continued eating popcorn oblivious to the conversation next to him, neither knew they were feeling the same, but both knew how their day would end. Some self love in the secrecy of their homes, where neither could see the other.
*******************
Once the movie ended, Vel got up to leave first throwing away his trash and waiting outside for the others. When everyone got out they began to talk as they walked outside,” So what’s the next plan?,” J asked everyone. Mal and Matt immediately looked at Velorn. He took a small step back while he spoke to them,” No. No. Please n-not this again.” Cril smirked and cackled when Mik jumped on him begging,” Come onnnn V. I promise I’ll help this time. I swear on my favorite sweater. If I don’t help you can have it, promise.” Dom looked at the situation confused before he whispered to Matt,” What’s going on right now?” Matt just shook his head a pointed at him to keep watching and listening. “M, you said something quite similar every time you guys ask and none of you guys ever help after.” Velorn said to Mik. They all looked a Vel with begging faces and Is spoke next,” But V, you’re the only one who has a house. Not to mention one without neighbors. And a pool too. I’ll swear on my favorite skirt if it helps.” They all could see Velorn giving in,” We don’t even wear the same size Is.” Allison rolled her eyes at his answer,” It’s a flowy skirt so it’ll fit fine, just let us please.” Velorn debated a bit before looking at all the groups faces. He felt a bit weak as he muttered,” Fine, you guys can party at my house. But not until Thursdays, I don’t have a day off until then.” The group cheered and Dom chuckled finding it funny the way they all had immediately targeted Vel’s house for plans. Then he stopped laughing though. In 5 days Dom would be inside Vel’s house. A place where Vel slept. Probably in his boxers, maybe nothing at all. Fuck.
