'I need to call my daddy.'

Eli thought with a sigh. They were currently walking up the narrow staircase to the room the lady gave us. The click and clank of the room key echoed through the tiny space. It felt like one small move would send him crashing into the neighboring wall. But, who was Eli to complain?

It was better than sleeping in a car with…ugh, him.

He is way too calm in this whole situation. Maybe Eli's too calm? Eli scrunched his hands in his hair which he quickly stopped when his elbows bruised against the two walls.

The two finally came to a stop in front of a wooden door. The key jingles in the lock before the sound of the door creaking open bounced off the walls.

Eli could kick himself. He could really drive his foot up his own ass by how unlucky he could be today. The room itself seemed normal. Some vintage looking curtains with some even older looking rugs. But that was the least of his worries.

Pond's brows furrowed in annoyance. At least Eli is not the only one to realize the ducked up scenario they were in.

Sharing a room is hard enough. But one bed?

It's going to be a long night.

"So, you take one side and I take another?" Eli asked.

"I'll take the floor." Pond grumbled eyeing the bed.

"Suit yourself." Eli replied and laid back on the bed. It was a bit hard but it was better than the floor would ever be. Suits Pond right to be on the floor. None of this would have happened if he didn't-

Why's his shirt off?

"Why's your shirt off?"

Pond gives him a leveled look. "Because someone decided to throw milk all over me."

Pond smirks. He turns to fully face the other boy. His frame was slender but his shoulder broad and sturdy. As his eyes travel down his frame taking in every defined muscle. Eli looks up at the ceiling, invading Pond's now knowing look.

"I don't mind you looking."

"Shut up."

Pond shakes his head. "I'll be in the shower."

Like he wants to see more of his body.

Pfft!

Really won't.

Bing!

The sound of a phone grabs Eli's attention. Sitting up, Eli can see Pond's phone lit up on the pine dresser across from the bed. Eli pads over to the vibrating phone. A string of text messages flood into his phone. It didn't show what was being said but the username was bright as day.

"Who's Bambi?"

Whoever she is can wait until he can call his daddy. Only problem is, he doesn't know this man's password.

What does a mean, kinda hot, kidnapper have as a password?

2203

Of course it's his birthday.

Eli really took, knowing one's enemy to heart.

Ignoring the messages for now, he quickly dials his father's number. After a few rings he gets an answer.

"Hello? Rhys speaking?"

"Daddy, I'm sorry."

There was a short pause on the line

"Eli! Where are you! I know you're getting older and want to go places but at least tell me! I at least expect that."

"I know, I know daddy. It was kind of sudden."

Rhys breathes off. "Are you okay? I hope you are not walking in this weather. You know what! Stay there, I'll pick you up."

"No you are not." Malik's voice is heard in the background.

"Love, I am not leaving my cub out in the rain! " Rhys retorts back.

"I mean, I'll go." Malik continues.

"Wait Dads, it's fine. I found shelter with a…friend." Eli said.

"A friend? I know it's not Paris. I called her when I noticed you missing."

"It's a new friend. From soccer practice."

"Really?" Rhys sounds unmoved.

"Well yeah."

A clash of thunder rumbles through the room.

"I gotta get off the phone. Call me from here. Love you daddy!"

"Eli-"

Eli quickly hung up the phone. He lets out a breath of relief before setting the phone back on the table.

'I'm definitely gonna get it when I get home.' Eli thought.

"You look like shit." Pond said.

He had a short white robe that barely reached his knees. It left little for his imagination. His hair was still wet as he dried it with a towel. He walks up to Eli and snatches the phone from the dresser.

"What were you doing on my phone?".

"Relax. I didn't snoop around or anything."

Pond rolls his eyes and looks down at the screen. He is most likely reading those messages from whoever this Bambi person is.

"Who's Bambi?"

Pond watches him hard. "I thought you didn't snoop?"

"I didn't. Her name just popped up."

Pond says nothing continues looking down at his phone. Eli moves past the boy and onto the bed. If he's not going to talk then what it is for Eli to hurt his head about it. He closes his eyes with the lovely intention to go to sleep.

Then he felt the bed dip. Eli's eyes flew open and looked at the person sitting on the edge.

"Man! Get on the floor. You said-"

"I changed my mind. I got us the room. I can sleep wherever I please."

Eli opened his mouth to retorts but shut it quickly. He's tired of this. He just wants to go to sleep and forget about this whole day. Pond lays back his head on the opposite pillow.

"You're not going to put on clothes?"

Pond shakes his head and puts his hands behind his head. There was a long string of silence that entangled around the room. Eli assumed Pond had fallen asleep. He turns his head just to find Pond staring up at the ceiling.

"Bambi is my sister." He says.

"There's more of you?"

Pond side eyes Eli.

"She's my little sister. Think she's the same age as yours." He continues.

Eli chuckles. "Your parents seriously had to be high naming you two."

"Pond is not my real name."

That makes Eli freeze.

"Really?"

Pond turns to look at Eli.

"My name is Ponlawit. My mother thought it would be easier if I went by my nickname."

"She was right." Eli snickers.

Pond eye's Eli for a long moment before pouncing on him. He pins the younger boy's arms to the bed and laps his legs around the other's limbs. Eli stares daggers up at the Thai boy.

"Everytime I start feeling you, you do shit like this!" Eli says.

"Oh? So, you do like me?"

Eli feels his face heat up.

"Can't like a person with a stupid ass name." Eli said.

Pond frowns. "And this is what turns me off from you."

Pond grip Eli's  mouth with his hand. His eyes scan the boy's face searching for something. Eli's lips felt dry yet to Pond they looked oh so welcoming.

"This perfect little mouth."

"You piece of shit!" Eli sneered.

Pond smiles. He presses their bodies together and slowly leans in. He stops just nose tips apart from him.

"Tell me. Do you like me?"

Eli looks away. "That's subjective."

"To what."

"The answer to my question."

Pond raised an eyebrow. "That is."

In his confusion, Pond's grip on his legs slackened. Eli raises his knee towards his body stopping right where the older boy's legs were spread. He stops just above the other area. Before Pond could process what was about to happen, Eli quickly used his other leg and laps it around the other's waist. He twists their position around and straddles the shocked boy.

"Why do you get hard when I call you names?" Eli asked.

Pond blinks up at the boy. His mouth opens and shuts like fish.

"Or when I cause you pain."

Eli slowly pressed his knee down on the boy's area. Pond's toes curl at the spike of pain in the area. Yet…

He's still hard.

"Tell me Pond. And you better be honest."

Eli slowly brings his hands from holding him down to his throat. He applies a slow and easy pressure around his elders neck. His cheeks turn a beautiful shade of pink that slowly ombres to red.

"Do you like pain?"

Eli could feel the boy below him pulse under his knee. The slick of pre-cum slowly stains through the material of his robe.

"Is that why you mess with me? Get me so fucking mad? For me to pound you? Is that what you want?"

Eli eases his grip around the boy's neck. He leans closer to others' ears. He needs him to respond. He needs to know the truth.

"Do you want me to continue?"

Pond licks his dry lips. His eyes take in the one towering over him. How he makes him feel. The beautiful face, the one he wants to be over him. To make him beg and plea for mercy and for more all in the same breath.

"Please…"
