It's Friday night, and Larry's mood is solemn because Laurent has a date tonight. It bothered him immensely when he found out, and now that this night is here it's harder to accept. He's been wanting to make Laurent his for a while now, but has been too afraid to say anything due to fear of Laurent turning him down. He's had to force himself to go out on dates and he tried so hard to like these other people, but no one has done it for him. No one has stuck out. He's found himself comparing everyone to him, and they all fell short. Now he has to endure him going out with someone else and it makes his stomach turn at the thought of them having the famous end of date kiss. He just wants to get up from his bed, rush into Laurent's room and confess his feelings then plead with him to stay home with him so he can hold him all night long. Kiss his lips and profess his unwavering romantic love for him. He then has a thought that he won't know how Laurent feels unless he just puts his feelings out there and see. If he feels the same then he can cancel the date and stay home so they can begin a romance. If not, well, at least he got it off his chest though the challenge would be putting his feelings on the back burner because they're only becoming stronger the more he's near him the more he sees that smile, or hears that sweet laugh. He finally tells himself to just do it or he'll never know how he feels so he gets up from his bed and walks down the hall to a closed bedroom door. It takes him a moment but he gently knocks and his heart flutters when he hears Laurent say, "come in Larry". Larry closes his eyes, softly inhales then gently exhales as he turns the door knob. When he walks in he's nearly knocked off his feet when he sees how amazing he looks. His fro is big and beautiful and he's wearing all black with a belt cinched at his hip. Laurent turns to meet his eyes and greet him...

Laurent: *smile* "Hey".

Larry: *smile* "Hey. It's been a while since I've seen you with your fro. You look great".

Laurent: *smile* "Thank you".

Larry: *smile* "Welcome".

Laurent turns back to the mirror and Larry can't help but notice how he seems eager to go on this date...instantly deciding against confessing his feelings to him. He then notices him picking up his keys then heading towards him to leave...

Larry: "He's not picking you up"?

Laurent: "Until I know him better I thought it would be best that he doesn't know where I live for now".

Larry: "Good idea. Where are you two going"?

Laurent: "Le Meurice".

Larry: "I love the food there".

Silence falls as Larry just stares at him causing Laurent to look confusingly at him, but also a bit worried as it appears that Larry needs to say something but he's struggling to say it. He walks closer to him and now standing face to face he softly and sweetly asks...

Laurent: " Is something wrong"?

This is Larry's chance to speak up and as he looks in Laurent's soft and incredibly beautiful eyes he wants to say it...but he can't...

Larry: "No. Nothing's wrong".

Laurent: "Are you sure"?

Larry: "I'm sure", he replies softly.

Laurent: "Oki, well um, I need to get by".

Larry: *chuckles* "Of course. Sorry".

Laurent: *smile* "It's oki".

Larry backs into the hallway so Laurent can step out of the room and begin walking towards the front door. Larry slowly begins to follow him and he turns the corner just as Laurent is about to leave. He can feel his heart drop into his belly, and he's internally cussing himself for not speaking up. He then unexpectedly sees him turn around as he sensed Larry's eyes on him...

Laurent: "Are you sure nothing is wrong"?

Larry: "I'm sure". *pause* "You don't want to be late".

Laurent just looks at him for a minute because he knows Larry isn't telling him something, but since he's insisting that nothing is wrong he just lets it go for the moment and replies, "oki. I'll see you later". Larry softly nods then solemnly watches him walk out the door. He hears him lock it then walks over to the closest wall, presses his back against and lightly crashes the back of his head against then looks at the ceiling as he exhales in frustration. This is going to be a long night so he decides to find something to get into it to take, or at least attempt to take his mind off of where his love will be. He pushes himself off the wall to head for the kitchen to retrieve a bottled water from the fridge when he stops dead in his tracks at an incredibly eerie feeling that comes over him. Naturally he's confused as to what brought this on, but of course Laurent is the first person to come to mind. He's going out with someone he doesn't know and Larry is unsure about how long they've been talking before agreeing to dinner tonight. The restaurant he's going to isn't far away and he knows that Laurent generally doesn't answer calls while driving for safety reasons so he will give it a few minutes before calling to check on him although the minutes waiting were unnerving. When he's certain he's arrived he swiftly takes out his phone to call him...

~phone call~

Laurent: *smile* "Hey".

Larry: "Hey".

Laurent: "What's wrong? Why do you sound so down"?

Larry: "I just had this weird feeling come over me".

Laurent: "Weird"?

Larry: "More like, creepy".

Laurent: "Why do you think you feel this way", he asks softly.

Larry: "I don't know, but I just wanted to call and make sure you're oki".

Laurent: *smile* "I'm fine".

Larry: *smile* "Good". *pause* "I just realized I never asked what his name is".

Laurent: "Corey".

Larry: "Last name"?

Laurent: "Malloy". *laugh* "You going to run a background check on him"?

Larry: *chuckles* "Maybe".

Laurent: *smile* "Thank you for looking out for me".

Larry: *smile* "Always". *pause* "Bye", he says softly.

Laurent: *smile* "Bye", he replies softly.

They release the call at the same time and Larry does feel better that he's ok, but he also wants to make everyone else who's close to him are ok too so he makes several more calls. He's relieved to know that everyone is well, but there's still the lingering feeling that something isn't right. He doesn't know much about this guy and instantly regrets not probing Laurent for more information about him. All he can do is hope that he remains safe, and until he walks through that door he will remain awake...

~meanwhile~

Laurent had been anxiously waiting for Corey to arrive, but as it gets closer to their agreed upon time and he hasn't arrived so he's starting to wonder if he's going to be stood up. He breathes a sigh of relief when he sees the hostess walking over to the table and someone behind her who he's certain is his date...but he also looks different than he did on the dating site. He then notices a smile at him so he smiles in return though he's really curious as to why his looks has suddenly changed. The hostess smiles at Laurent then turns around to smile at Corey and motion her hand for him to take a seat across from him in the booth. Once seated she hands him the menu while telling them their server will be over soon. Now that it's just the two of them...

Corey: *smile* "Hi".

Laurent: *smile* "Hi". *pause* "You look different than your online picture".

Corey: *smile* "Well I just wanted to look my best for you. That's why I'm a bit late".

Laurent: "Oh". *pause* "I was getting worried that you weren't going to show up".

Corey: *smile* "Sorry about that".

Laurent: *smile* "It's oki. You're here now".

Corey: *smile* "I am". *pause* "You look even better in person".

Laurent: *smile* "Thank you. So do you".

Corey: *smile* "Thank you". *pause* "Since you were here first, have you decided on your entree"?

Laurent: "Yeah. I'm having the shrimp scampi with garlic sauce. It's my favorite dish on the menu".

Corey: "So you've been here before".

Laurent: *chuckles* "Yeah. A lot, actually".

Corey: "I've only been here once and I had a burger and fries so maybe you can recommend something for me".

Laurent: "Sure".

Laurent scans the menu and comes across several dishes that he's tried then looks back up at him...

Laurent: *smile* "Are you a steak person"?

Corey: *smile* "Absolutely".

Laurent: *smile* "They have a great cajun pasta with steak. You should try that".

Corey: *smile* "I will".

Laurent smiles back at him and minutes later their server comes to take their orders. As they wait for the food Laurent attempts to engage him in conversation, but right away he notices him looking around the place as if he's looking for someone. It's getting a bit awkward now. The obvious change in his appearance to this behavior and not even paying attention or engaging in conversation with him...

Laurent: *looks confused* "Is something wrong"?

Corey: "No. It's just...it's been a while since I've been in this restaurant and I'm just looking at how different it looks. It's like they remodeled or something".

Laurent also can't help but notice what a strange response that was. It isn't typical to notice changes in a place when on a date with someone. It's a time to give each other undivided attention and getting to know each other. Not if curtains look different. He eventually stops looking around, but then Laurent notices him looking down and seemingly uninterested in talking to him...

Laurent: "If you're not feeling this date I can have the order canceled and we can leave".

*brief pause*

Corey: "You don't have to do that". *pause* "I'm sorry. It's just been a hard week and I started thinking about some things that happened, but this isn't the time and that's not fair to you. I apologize".

Laurent: "I know we just met, but do you need to talk for anything"?

Corey: *smile* "Thank you but no. I really want to enjoy this dinner with you so you have my full attention now".

Laurent: *smile* "Oki".

From that point on Corey kept his word and gave Laurent his attention and conversation that continued after their entrees arrived. The more they talked the less awkward it started to feel and Corey seemed to be more relaxed by the minute. When dinner was over Corey paid and they left the restaurant together. Since it's the end of the date Laurent was expecting them to say their goodbyes for the moment and possibly share in some form of affection with each other be it a kiss or a hug, but to his surprise Corey isn't thinking about ending it...

Corey: *smile* "There's a lake nearby. Why don't we go there and take a walk along the dock"?

Laurent: *smile* "Sounds nice. Should I drive us"?

Corey: *smile* "It's such a nice night and it's not that far so how about we walk"?

Laurent: *smile* "Oki. I can work off that big dinner I had".

Corey smiles then motions his hand for Laurent to walk first who does, but what he doesn't see is Corey's smile completely fade to a near sinister look and he also doesn't see him look around the parking lot as if he's checking to see if anyone sees the direction they're headed for. Laurent notices Corey isn't beside him so he turns around prompting Corey to swiftly change the sinister look to a seemingly friendly smile. Now walking next to each other they pick up their conversation...

~meanwhile~

Larry felt better after speaking to loved ones, but that was short lived as he just couldn't shake the eerie feeling that came over him earlier. Now it's stronger and something tells him that it has something to do with his Laurent. He suddenly has an image flash before his eyes. It's a bridge and water. Both very familiar. He then realizes that it's the lake close to the restaurant. Now he's certain that it involves Laurent, and in a dangerous way, so he puts his shoes on, grabs his keys and bolts out the door to make his way to that location...

Walking along the dock at night was a romantic gesture especially when it's accompanied by a gentle breeze and the delightful sound of the light waves cascading across the lake. Their walk eventually comes to a halt as Laurent looks out into the water then looks up at the beautiful night sky. In a sweet tone he tells Corey, "the sky is full of stars". But, he doesn't hear a response so he turns to face him...and when he does he doesn't see the friendly face he saw just moments ago. He sees a face of pure evil. Corey's eyes are wide and filled with anger and his chest is heaving. It instantly becomes clear to Laurent why there were so many awkward moments in the restaurant. Corey's eyes roaming must have been him looking to see if other restaurant patrons noticed him and could identify him. His eyes go wide in fear, but natural instinct to defend himself also kicks in and before Corey can do anything Laurent raises his fist and hits him with a solid punch. Corey stumbles and falls to the ground so Laurent begins to run away. He doesn't notice that the crazed man recovered quickly and is running after him. The look on his face is even angrier and his running picks up as his eyes pierce into the back of Laurent's head. He ultimately catches up to him and Laurent belts out an "aagh" when he feels Corey grab him then throw him down on the concrete. Laurent yelps in pain and before he can defend himself Corey is on top of him. His eyes are the scariest thing Laurent has ever seen in his life and now he's trying to get his hands around Laurent's neck to strangle him. Laurent's strength is able to prevent him for doing so and it's only making this psycho even more crazed. Suddenly he's picked up off of him and now Laurent is watching someone turn Corey around and apply a punch to his face. That someone is Larry in which Laurent belts out his name as tears brim his eyes. Larry is striking blow after blow then yells at Laurent to call the police, but Laurent would much rather help him so he gets up and does just that. Now it's two against one and once Corey hits the ground Larry pins him down so he can't move. Through deep breathing he tells Laurent again, "call the police. I got him down". Laurent takes out his phone but his hands are so shaky that he can hardly dial. He does and with a shaky voice tells the operator what happened and the location. He's eventually told that the cops are on the way. He releases the call then goes over to Larry who notices that he's limping and it's heartbreaking because he knows it's the knee Laurent has been having problems with. He tries to bend down to be next to Larry who quickly tells him to have a seat on one of the benches because getting down so low will only make his injured leg worse. Laurent insists he's ok and wants to help, but Larry pleads with him to take a seat and that he has a strong hold on Corey. Laurent nods and as he's walking over to the bench Corey tries to say something in which Larry growls at him to be quiet and applies more pressure causing him to grunt. The police arrive so Larry releases his grip. Laurent is asked for a report and after providing the details of what happened he turns to Larry and all he can do is hug him. Larry can also hear soft crying so as he rubs Laurent's back he whispers that everything is ok now. Seconds later one of the officers comes over and asks Laurent if they need to get medical attention for him. Laurent doesn't reply and just holds on tighter to Larry who sweetly asks, "Laurent, do you need to go to the hospital"? Laurent sniffs then replies, "My knee will be fine. Let's just go home, please". Larry whispers, "oki" then thanks the officer for his help but they'll go home. Larry then pulls Laurent back to look at his face then uses his thumb to wipe his tears away...

Larry: "I'll bring you to get your car tomorrow".

Laurent: "No I don't want to leave it here. The restaurant might have it towed or someone might try to break into it".

Larry: "Oki then I'll be right behind you".

Larry's car is in short distance so he helps Laurent over to it. He then asks Laurent if he's sure he can drive with his knee in pain who assures him he can. When they get to his car Larry follows him and notices that Laurent is driving ok but he still plans to take care of him and his knee when they get home...

Larry sweetly instructs Laurent to wrap his arm around him while Larry wraps his arm around his waist to help inside. When they get to Laurent's room he helps him on the bed then grabs a pillow to place under his knee. He then whispers that he'll be right back and now that it's just silence in the room Laurent can't help but think about the frightening turn this night took...but so grateful for he and Larry's connection. It was also frightening seeing him fighting Corey because of how crazy he is, but Larry's love for him and determination to defend him is why that guy is in a jail cell where he belongs. Laurent gets emotional just thinking about Larry coming to save him and he wipes away a tear that slid down his temple. Larry comes back in the bedroom with a cold pack in his hand then pulls up a chair next to the bed. He places the cold pack down for the moment then looks in Laurent's eyes...

Larry: "I'm going to give your knee a light massage then put the cold pack on it".

Laurent: "Oki. Thank you", he whispers.

Larry: *smile and wink* "Welcome", he whispers back.

Being oh so delicate Larry begins the massage but hears a slight hiss from him...

Larry: "I'm sorry".

Laurent: "Don't be sorry. You're being gentle. It's just tender".

Larry: "Oki well I'll just rub it. I won't apply any pressure".

Laurent nods and when he feels that smooth hand rubbing his knee in small circles he instantly relaxes more into the mattress...

Laurent: "That feels amazing".

Larry: *smile* "I'm glad I can help", he whispers.

They connect eyes and spend moments just gazing at each other for what could be a beautiful eternity then Laurent tells him...

Laurent: *smile* "You really kicked his ass".

Larry: *chuckles* "Nobody messes with my Laurent".

Laurent can literally feel his heart flutter then he watches Larry pick up the cold pack which is wrapped in a thin cloth so it's not unbearably cold for him then carefully wraps it around. When he's done he asks Laurent if he needs anything else and after being told he's ok for now Larry gets up and walks to the other side of the bed to lay next to him and he can tell something  is on his mind...

Larry: "What are you thinking"?

Laurent: "I'm thinking that I won't be meeting people online anymore".

Larry: "That's what's scary about this world. We can meet crazy people anywhere".

Laurent: "True, but it will still be a while before I try again to be with someone".

*brief pause*

Larry: "Be with me".

Naturally Laurent is in shock as this was the last thing he thought he would hear. Larry notices the look, and now nervous about his answer, he begins talking a mile a minute...

Larry: "I know, I know. I sound crazy. We can't be together. I've just been feeling this way for a while now and it shouldn't have taken what happened to you to say something, but it also made me realize that I can't keep going on like this knowing that I'm in love with you and not say anything for that".

Laurent: "Larry...."

Larry: "I know what you're going to say and it's oki. I shouldn't have said anything...."

Laurent: "Larry...."

Larry: "You're just so wonderful and so beautiful. I'm in love with you and I love being close to you. I just want to be with you, but I know we can't oki? I know that. I just...."

Larry hasn't noticed Laurent sweetly repeating his name. He finds it adorable how Larry is nervously rambling, but he also has to get him to stop so Larry can know that he's been feeling the same way...and he knows just how. He carefully raises up then leans over to crash his lips against Larry's whose eyes widen, but of course he kisses him back. They release with a soft pop then look into each other's eyes...

Laurent: *smile* "I had to shut you up somehow".

It takes no time for tears to build in Larry's eyes then he asks...

Larry: "How long have you been feeling the same for me"?

Laurent: "I can't remember not being in love with you", he whispers.

Larry lets out a soft chuckle through his tears then drops his head and cries in joy. Laurent merely watches him then uses his pointer finger to touch Larry's chin then raise his head...

Larry: "How did we not know this Laurent? How did we not know how we feel for each other"?

Laurent: "We knew. We just had the same fear so we didn't say anything and just kept doing what we were supposed to do. Dating other people".

Larry: "If I would've said something you wouldn't have been in danger".

Laurent: "It's not your fault, it's not my fault and I'm oki. That's because of the connection we share. You knew I was in trouble and you came to my rescue. This will just bring us closer".

Larry: *tear drop* "So...." *sniff* "....you're really mine now"?

Laurent: "I'm yours, and you're mine", he whispers.

Larry's head tilts to the side as he stares at this gorgeous human with pure love in his eyes then tells him...

Larry: "I love you", he says sweetly.

Laurent: "I love you too", he whispers again.

They come in for another kiss and it gets deeper to the point where Laurent seemingly forgets about his knee until he tries to reposition himself and feels a pain prompting him to hiss. Larry quickly lets go of those plump, tasty lips to tend to him and get him comfortable again...

Larry: "There you go baby", he whispers.

Laurent: "Thank you my love".

Larry: "Welcome". *pause* "Do you need anything"?

Laurent: "Just don't move...unless it's closer to me".

Larry smiles and snuggles into him then they spend time chatting with each other but also addressing how to disclose their relationship to everybody while acknowledging that it may not be well received by everyone they know and love...but they're willing to deal with that. As long as they're together. They talk for roughly an hour before dozing off though their sleep doesn't last long as there's a loud roar that jolts them out of their sleep. Given the night's horror naturally Laurent is a bit shaken, but he hears it again then looks towards the window to see rain drops and realizes it's merely a thunderstorm so he relaxes. He feels Larry's eyes on him so he shifts his eyes to him...

Larry: *smile* "That was loud".

Laurent: *chuckles* "Yeah it was".

Silence falls briefly and now the thunder is as soft as the rain drops so he looks back at Larry...

Laurent: *smile* "Now it's softer", he whispers.

Larry: *smile* "Yeah, he whispers back.

Laurent: *smile* "I've always loved the sound of rumbling thunder".

Larry: *smile* "Me too".

Larry is gazing at him and it feels so good to see Laurent in such good spirits after tonight. He still can't believe they're officially together...but neither of them would have any other way...

Larry: *smile* "We're a couple, baby".

Laurent: *smile* "It's the best feeling".

Larry: "You know what I'm looking forward to"?

Laurent: "What's that"?

Larry: "Making love". 

*brief pause*

Laurent: "We don't have to wait. Let's make love now".

Larry: "But, your knee".

Laurent: "I'll risk the pain to feel being inside of you".

Larry just fell in love all over again. He leans forward to kiss him and can already feel his hole stretching. In between kisses he whispers against those lips, "I'll ride you...." *kiss* "....so you don't have to move" in which Laurent whispers, "ride me bebe". Larry kisses him harder and can feel himself stretching more which he's thrilled about because just as much as Laurent wants to be inside of him, he wants him inside of him...now. He breaks the kiss to stand up and undress while Laurent carefully pushes his pants down and whips out his already hard wood that Larry licks his lips at the sight of. He presses his knee on the bed and crawls over to him then raises his leg to mount Laurent who grabs a hold of his manhood. Larry gently slides down on it and they both let out a whimper. Larry wastes no time rising and falling as that manhood of steel moves inside of him. As he whimpers, Laurent watches his face as he bites his lower lip and smooths his hands all over Larry's chest. He then takes his thumb and pointer fingers on both hands to lightly squeeze Larry's nipples who hisses at the sensation. Larry then whimpers, "oh Laurent" prompting Laurent to let go of his nipples to take a gentle hold of Larry's face to bring it to his and plant a kiss on those lips. He then whispers, "you're so tight". Larry can only respond to that by whimpering louder and riding him faster. Larry hisses then erotically whispers, "ah yeah bebe. Ride that shit". Larry is close to tears and now he's whimpering, "I'm gonna cum Laurent. I need to cum". Laurent replies, "let me taste it". After a few more strong pumps Larry raises up and no sooner than Laurent hooks his mouth around Larry's wood it's shooting out. Larry pumps back and forth in Laurent's mouth...his hands on the sides of Laurent's head as he releases a few hisses of his own while Laurent sucks every drop out of him. Laurent releases him then looks up at him with those sultry eyes. Larry looks down at him in the same manner then bites his lip as he pushes Laurent back against the mattress...arousing him even more then Larry slides back down on him and continues riding him powerfully which ultimately brings Laurent to the point of climax. Right before he releases he grabs a hold of Larry's ass and when it shoots out he thrusts upward as his body jerks to the powerful eruption. Next to Laurent being inside of him there isn't a better sensation. It's warm, thick and coating his walls splendidly. When the climax is over the tension in Laurent's body releases, and completely weak, he just rests against the mattress...his head turned to the side as he's still breathing heavily. Larry chuckles at the sight but also seizes the chance to place kisses on Laurent's open face and neck. He delights in those kisses then Laurent turns his head so they can share a kiss and when they release...

Larry: *smile* "That was everything". 

Laurent: *smile* "You felt so good".

Larry: *smile* "So did you".

Laurent: *smile* "Just wait until my knee is better".

Larry chuckles and gives him another sweet kiss before slowly getting off of Laurent and taking his place next to him. They have this beautiful afterglow of their first lovemaking experience...and as they gaze into each other's eyes they also delight in the start of a beautiful romance...
