"Good morning sleepy head," Brandon greeted happily. Reiner ignored him and covered himself with the cover. "Hey, sleeping beauty wake up. Your breakfast will get cold," he warned but was ignored again.
He pulled the blanket from the boy and Reiner groaned. They fought for the blanket with Brandon emerging the victor. He got the food from the stand and kept it carefully on the bed.
"Let me sleep a little more Summer, please," Reiner said in his sleep. Brandon yanked him awake furiously. Reiner woke up and looked at Brandon, he raised his eyebrow to him to question as to why he did that.
"Who is Summer?" he asked him.
"A friend," he replied wiping sleep out of his eyes.
"A friend whose name you whisper in your sleep?" he asked jealousy written all over his face. He wanted to know the relationship between them.
"You are right. She is my girlfriend," he said picking up the breakfast set from the bed and putting it on his lap. He took a sip of the tea and took a bite of the pancakes.
Brandon's face twisted and his happy mood was ruined. He got up from the bed and went for a shower, he washed away the anger he felt and the jealousy he felt. He got out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. He dried his hair in front of the mirror. He gritted his teeth oiled his hair.
He noticed a stare from the side of the room where the bed is, he glanced over to the bed and noticed Reiner was starting at him. Had the conversation they just had not taken place he would probably be happy that he caught Reiner's attention but he didn't feel good at all. He took his clothes and walked back into the bathroom and got dressed there.
Reiner munched down on his food with a smirk on his face. He was enjoying Brandon's reaction, the truth was that he had no girlfriend. Summer is his childhood friend who is a girl. So technically he didn't lie, it wasn't his fault that Brandon misunderstood him and thought it was the other kind of girlfriend. The only reason he might have uttered her name in his sleep is because she has a tendency of coming to his house very early and waking him up from his sleep. That is why he mistook Brandon for her when he woke up.
He received the call from his phone and answered without checking who it was that was calling. "What happened to you. Did Brandon kidnap you after your date or did the two of you heat it up last night?" Zane asked on the other end not even caring to greet him.
"Hello to you too," he said avoiding the question the teasing master was asking.
"Shut up and tell me the details. Was he a top or bottom?" he asked and Reiner furrowed his eyebrows to the question.
"What does that mean. Ask me clearly, I don't understand those terms," he said.
"Okay, what I am asking is simple. While the two of you had *cough* then were you on top or the bottom?"
Reiner almost dropped his phone when he heard the question that Zane asked. He truly believed there was no limits to the shamelessness of his friend. "Nothing like that happened," he answered nervously.
"What do you mean nothing like that happened. The two of you spent the night together and you are telling me that you didn't do anything with him?" He yelled at him.
"Look, Brandon and I just met. What did you expect to happen between us?"
"I don't know. Boy likes boy and vise versa, I expected the ultimate. Sex," he replied and Reiner's hand trembled at his friends boldness.
"No," he said but it came out to loudly for him own liking. He was worried that Brandon would hear him, he couldn't tell him why he shouted so he kept a hand on his mouth.
"Why did you shout like that. Does the thought of being intimate with your lover scare you?" he asked and Reiner's breath hitched. He was getting nervous about the mention of the Brandon as his lover.
"He is not my l..lo..lov..."
"The word your looking for is lover. Why are you shy to say this word, are you shy from thinking of him this way," he teased.
"Don't say that. Brandon is not my lover and he never will be," he yelled reaching the limits of being teased.
Brandon opened the door of the bathroom and stared at him, his eyes were teary and he was biting his lower lip.
"Fine, if that is how you feel then I won't bother you with my feelings again," he said and locked the bathroom door.
He dropped to the ground holding on to the door and cried. It was painful for him to imagine Reiner with someone else but it was unbearable for him to hear Reiner that he won't be his ever. It hurt him to hear him say that with so much confidence.
"Brandon, please open the door. It isn't what you think," Reiner said banging on the door.
The situation was very familiar to him.He remember that day that Reiner had caught him at the Park with Zane. How he had pleaded with him that it wasn't what he saw but Reiner never listened to him. He felt enraged, he was always the one who had to understand. Even when Reiner was being completely out of his mind and making unreasonable demands but he was not going to repeat the same mistakes.
He got up from the floor and opened the door, he glared at him. "Then what was it?"
"I wasn't talking to you," he said.
"Oh, so you just shouted that you don't want me by your side for a stranger to hear."
"No, I just.."
"No nothing. You don't like me. You would never want to be with me then why are you even explaining anything to me," he said upset.
"That is not true," he defended but Brandon wouldn't let him have it.
"Prove it," he said cornering Reiner.
"Anything," Reiner replied. "Will you be my boyfriend."
"Yes," Reiner shouted before realising Brandon's request.
"Thank you," Brandon said excited. He hugged Reiner and held him tightly. "I love you dear boyfriend," he said kissing Reiner on the cheek before walking out of the room with a victorious smile on his face. His first win since he started the journey of fighting for his love. He couldn't control the butterflies in his stomach.
"Way to go," Reiner heard and turned around. It was then that he realised that he had yet to switch off his phone and to make matters worse Zane had heard everything that had happened. He was sure that he was not going to hear the end of it from his friend. Hashtag teasing ticket of the whole year. "You are taken now, I have to award Brandon. He made you his boyfriend with only one date, he is a master," Zane praised and Reiner ended the call.
He couldn't believe that he fell for the oldest trick in the book and became Brandon's boyfriend. He say down on the bed and scolded himself for his stupidity. "You tricked me today and made me yours in name and I will get my revenge. And I know just how to do it. Summer," he whispered and smiled.
