Sean
Sean was parked outside of Asherâs house, two days later, trying to get the courage to go to the door. Heâd received a text message from Asher the day before, short and simple.
My house. Five-thirty. Thursday.
Heâd viewed the message for a long time, trying to decide what to do. He knew he had already agreed to go on a second date, but he was struggling to keep himself away from them as it was. He didnât think this would help any.
As he watched, the front door opened, and Asher stood there, leaning against the doorframe. He didnât beckon Sean in or do anything other than wait and study him. It calmed him a little to know that Asher was not pushy, at least in some things. He sat for a few more minutes, then got out and walked towards the house.
By the time he got there, he was breathing heavier than usual, the stress of his decision weighing on him. Stopping in front of Asher, he smiled, hoping he appeared confident.
âSean.â Asher smiled as he spoke his name softly. Asher reached forward slowly, resting a hand on his shoulder and smoothing it down his arm to link their fingers together. Sean glanced down at their joined hands, breathing heavier still. He felt panic begin to set in and the fight or flight response awakening, but just a squeeze from Asherâs hand made it disappear, and Sean breathed easier.
Pretending nothing was amiss, Sean gazed at Asher again. âAre you going to invite me in?â
Asher nodded. âI was waiting for you to decide you wanted to come in.â He smiled and moved aside so Sean could enter without letting go of his hand.
âI wonât deny that itâs not an easy decision, but Iâm here as I said I would be.â
That earned another squeeze of his hand, and he felt his body relax marginally.
âWell, I said I was going to cook for you, so I have. But I forgot to ask if you were allergic to anything, so Iâm hoping that what Iâve made is all right.â
âAnd whatâs that?â Sean asked.
âLasagne with garlic bread and salad.â
âIt sounds delicious. And to answer your concern, Iâm not allergic to anything.â They walked towards the kitchen, and Asher deposited Sean on a stool at the counter before turning to walk away. Between one heartbeat and the next, Asher was back with his lips hovering over Seanâs.
âI donât want to ask, but this time I will. Can I kiss you?â Asherâs words were spoken into Seanâs mouth but without any contact.
Sean felt himself leaning forward in answer, and their lips connected briefly several times before Asher pulled back.
âThank you.â With that, he turned and walked to the oven.
Sean sat there barely breathing, eyes on Asher as he pottered around the kitchen, finishing up their dinner. He jumped when he felt a hand on his shoulder and realised Asher was standing next to him.
âBreathe, Sean, breathe. Come on, youâll pass out if you donât breathe for me.â Asherâs
