Remi had posted a story on Instagram: a short boomerang of Ash shirtless, sipping juice straight from the carton, hair a mess, tattoos on display, lips glistening with the drink. He wasn’t paying attention — Remi had caught him off guard, zooming in dramatically like the little demon he was.
The caption read:
> “he hates thirst traps but is one 😮💨🧃”
A few minutes later, Remi’s phone buzzed. Then again. Then—
“OH?” Remi blinked, a mischievous smile tugging at his lips. “Ash…”
Ash was lounging on the couch with a book. “Hm?”
“Guess who just replied to my story…”
Ash didn’t even look up. “Don’t care.”
Remi giggled. “Oh, you’ll care.”
He walked over, holding the phone right in Ash’s line of sight.
There, in bold: @theomachinix🛠️🔥 had replied to the story with:
> “That mouth look like it don’t just sip juice.”
Ash choked on air. “WHAT?”
Remi burst into cackles, nearly falling over.
Ash snatched the phone, blinking at the message.
“Is he—??” he started, then stopped, a sharp blush spreading across his cheeks. His skin, dark and warm, glowed with the redness creeping up his neck.
Remi dropped onto the couch beside him, grinning. “You’re blushing.”
“Am not.”
“You are. Theodore got you red as hell, baby.”
Ash groaned, tossing the phone aside. “This man needs to go to jail.”
Remi leaned into him, mock-whispering, “You kinda like it, though.”
Before Ash could respond, Remi’s phone rang.
Théodore.
Calling.
They both froze.
Ashley blinked. “He’s calling? Now?”
Remi was already grinning as he accepted the call and put it on speaker.
“Hello?” Remi said in his sweetest voice.
Théodore’s voice came through, rough and smooth all at once. “That video? Kinda criminal. Tell your boy I ain’t sorry.”
Ash glared at the phone, jaw clenched.
Remi giggled. “He’s right here, hiding his face in a pillow.”
“I knew he was the shy type,” Théodore teased.
Ash growled, grabbing the pillow and throwing it. “I’m not shy.”
Théodore chuckled low. “Then send me a better view. Since y’all already got me on the gram.”
Remi wheezed. “ASH, send this man a pic!”
Ash snatched the phone off speaker, ending the call with a click. His ears were on fire.
Remi was already rolling on the couch. “Oh my God. You are so flustered. He really got under your skin.”
Ash turned to him, eyes narrowed. “Keep laughing. Let him take you apart next time.”
Remi bit his lip, looking far too pleased with himself. “Maybe we let him take both of us.”
Ash paused.
Silence.
Then—
“…You’re not joking, are you?”
Remi just smirked, leaning closer. “What if I’m not?”
Ash’s heartbeat picked up. He didn’t answer—he just stared at Remi for a long moment, then looked away.
“…Shut up,” he mumbled.
Remi chuckled. “Blushing again.”
