Guy withstands a hard anal test
Here to Stay Ch. 02
Cassidy stared as Gavin led Emmett into the club. She smirked to herself proud of the match. She knew they would get along. There was only one problem: Gavin was a little too crazy for Emmett. It was readily apparent written all over his face and in his eyes. At least with Emmett he didn t have to worry about being obvious in that manner. She could tell though that Emmett was as with almost everyone else he met keeping himself distant enough to only be friends and nothing more. Cassidy watched as Emmett took his seat inadvertently letting his hand slide down Gavin s arm. Gavin shuddered at the contact his arm tingling from Emmett s light touch.
Hey you two Cassidy shouted over the music. How was dinner?
It was great Emmett answered smiling. The food was really good he added turning his head and smiling in Gavin s direction. Cassidy immediately saw Gavin s eyes light up. The company wasn t too bad either.
Yeah at least for you Gavin retorted laughing.
Hey I m going to go get a drink. What do you want Emmett? Cassidy asked.
Ice water with lemon. Thanks Cass.
Not a problem. Is it okay if I steal Gavin too?
Shouldn t that be up to Gavin? Gavin interrupted referring to himself.
They walked over to the bar and waited. Cassidy looked at Gavin who was looking across the room at Emmett watching. Once he noticed Cassidy staring at him he was a bit uncomfortable.
You re going to be great you know. You re already waiting for his beckoning call to give you an excuse to touch him or talk to him or do something for him. Gavin stared at Cassidy after this remark surprised. Cassidy laughed at his Am I really that obvious? expression. You need to be careful Gav. I don t know how it happened but I can already tell you re crazy about him after spending one night with him. He needs someone to live with to be a friend. He doesn t need a boyfriend.
He s gay? Gavin asked shocked.
What? You didn t¬?shit.
Gavin grabbed the ice water and beer off the counter walked over to the table gave Emmett his drink and sat down leaving Cassidy to wait at the bar alone.
Why didn t you tell me? Gavin asked a little too sternly. Emmett s heart immediately dropped and he shifted uneasily in his seat. Why didn t you tell me you re gay? Gavin repeated. Emmett immediately closed up and Gavin noticed the change in expression in his eyes.
The same reason you don t tell people you own and run three restaurants. I don t want people to judge me for what they think I am I want them to see the real me and gather their own conclusions. Emmett waited a beat. Sorry you had to find out from Cassidy.
Did you think I d care?
I didn t know honestly Emmett replied feeling Cassidy slide into the booth next to him. No sooner had she slid in that she slid back out pulling Emmett¬¬вЂâ€or trying to anywaysвЂâ€with her.
Come on let s go dance Em she cajoled taking his arm.
Cass I m in the mid?
Come on she demanded taking him with her.
Gavin watched as they made their way to the dance floor. He felt guilty in a way for not coming straight out with the truth. Gavin figured that Emmett would realize it soon enough though. He took a sip of his beer and glanced to the dance floor again but his eyes stopped. He watched Cassidy and Emmett dance and was completely enthralled. He quickly realized that both of them were extremely good dancers graceful and overall quite an attractive sight. What really entranced Gavin was Emmett though. The way he moved perfectly the way he looked the fact that a bystander would have no idea that he was blind. Gavin stared the entire time they were out there and was brought back to reality by Cassidy s remark to him.
Hey Gav hasn t anyone ever told you that staring isn t polite?
What is there some beautiful woman alone out there? Emmett asked.
Uh not exactly Em Cassidy said looking at Gavin. She mouthed You didn t tell him? to which Gavin shook his head in the negative.
Oh that s right because I was with her Emmett continued chuckling at his own joke oblivious to the tense moment between Gavin and Cassidy.
Emmett I really need to go. I have a pressing social engagement Cassidy told him getting up from the table. She kissed his cheek. I ll talk to you later. She leaned over into Gavin s ear. You better not fuck this up because I will kick your ass if you end up hurting him. She smiled and walked out.
What time is it? Emmett asked Gavin.
Ten-thirty. I m getting a headache. Do you want to come outside with me?
Yeah I m ready to split anyways. I know it s early but I don t care.
They walked outside happy for the comparatively quiet noise of the city rather than loud music.
I ve decided to accept your offer Gavin told Emmett as they walked down the sidewalk. I called the movers and they can have me completely moved in three days so in about a week I ll call them.
That s great. Emmett stopped walking and turned to face Gavin. He didn t know where Gavin s eyes were but he made his best attempt to look into them even without seeing. Thank you Gavin. I know it s only been a night and you re moving in with a stranger but it means a lot to me that you ll take the time out of your life to help me and learn and just care.
Gavin stood there tears forming behind his eyes. In barely over 24 hours Gavin had fallen head-over-heels for Emmett. He didn t believe that anything of true substance could ever form in that amount of time nor did he believe in love at first sight. But somehow Gavin felt something for Emmett he had not felt before. He took a deep breath and gathered his composure.
You re welcome Emmett. I need a friend anyways. Other than Cassidy I m pretty much alone.
No girlfriend or anything? Emmett inquired.
Uh about that. I didn t get the chance to tell you inside because Cassidy stole you to go dance. I . . . uh . . . I really don t care that you re gay Emmett because well I am too. Gavin did not miss the surprise in Emmett s eyes.
Oh. Uh okay.
The two started walking again for a few minutes until Emmett stopped.
Do you want to see my apartment? It s still early.
If you wanted to show me that would be just fine.
They drove to the apartment building and Gavin escorted Emmett inside only to be greeted by an enthusiastic Cecelia.
Good evening Dr. Clark she said. Emmett could hear the smile in her voice.
Hello Cecelia. I ll have you know I m about to give up in having you call me Emmett . Emmett paused for a few seconds before continuing. Oh where are my manners. Cecelia this is Gavin Adams. He will be sharing my apartment after Matt moves out in a few days.
That s wonderful. It s a pleasure to meet you Mr. Adams. Emmett she nodded.
The pleasure is mine Cecelia Gavin answered back.
Thank you Cecelia for finally getting my name right. I ll see you tomorrow evening.
Good night Emmett. It was nice meeting you Mr. Adams.
It s Gavin Cecelia Gavin replied. It was nice to meet you too.
Emmett and Gavin went up the three floors and stopped outside the apartment. Emmett unlocked the door and stepped in finding the lights and switching them on. Gavin followed him in closing the door gently then looked around and stopped.
Wow he said staring at the high ceilings and chic design.
Yeah I wish I could see it most of the time. Having it described to you and actually seeing it are two very different things Emmett replied setting his bag and cane down in their designated spot. May I get you a drink?
Uh no thanks I don t think I m going to stay that long Gavin replied.
Well this is the kitchen and living room.
I see. Uh where s the kitchen table? Gavin asked.
We eat at the counter Emmett answered.
Oh. Gavin looked to his right to the living room which wasn t quite as large as the kitchen. It was simply but elegantly furnished. Emmett then led him over to the hallway. He pushed open the first door on the left and Gavin peered in surprised.
Yes surprisingly enough we have our own laundry room. It s wonderful Emmett stated closing the door. He walked to the second doorway and flipped on the light just inside.
This is my bedroom Emmett said stepping around the queen-sized bed and to the bathroom and this is my bathroom. Gavin stared at the sight. It was immaculate. Everything had its own place. The bathroom was very large and featured a double sink a shower and a large jetted bathtub. Gavin s thoughts immediately wandered to what could be done in both the large shower and large bathtub other than bathing. He pulled himself together as Emmett led him out of the room and across the hallway.
This will be your room. Matt tends to be a little messy in here so I won t go in but you can take a look. Gavin stepped into the cluttered room. It was very large had a double-sized bed and also had the bathroom connected to it. It was also a nice bathroom but only had a shower toilet and single sink. Emmett then showed him to the last room a small bedroom made into a fitness room. It had a treadmill and a small home gym.
This is what it looks like: my fitness room. I have to keep myself in shape somehow and running outside is kind of out of the question Emmett laughed. So that s all to my apartment. It s not huge but it s definitely functional and I love it Emmett said.
It s quite nice Gavin agreed. What s that room at the end of the hall?
Oh I almost forgot. That s my practice room Emmett answered opening the door. The far wall was all windows but in the middle sat a sizeable Steinway grand piano.
Wow. Gavin admired then looked at the time. Well I have to get going because the restaurants are probably swamped. Thank you for showing me around. I m actually a little excited to be living somewhere new.
You re quite welcome Emmett replied walking to the door and opening it. Have a great night Gavin.
You do the same was what came out of Gavin s mouth while he was thinking Oh I will since I ve seen you. He stepped out into the hall went down the stairs and entered the lobby.
You take care of Emmett Mr. Adams. He s a keeper I ll have you know Cecelia said to him as he crossed the marble-tiled floor winking.
In the short period of time that I ve known him Cecelia that has become quite obvious to me Gavin replied smiling. And it s Gavin Cecelia. Gavin.
Alright Mr. Adams. Have a good evening Mr. Adams she smiled back. She held the door as he exited and walked down the sidewalk into the night. She was surprised when she turned around and Emmett was approaching her.
Emmett what are you doing?
Well Cecelia I figured that you could use some company tonight. Or maybe it s just that I could use some company tonight Emmett answered.
Well alright. Come on outside and take a seat on the bench. I can sit with you for a while but I have to get home to Pete before one in the morning this time she said helping him to their favorite chatting spot. So where d you find him? she asked bluntly. Emmett laughed heartily.
You remember Cassidy don t you?
Mmhmm. It s hard to forget one like her. She s a beauty and a brain even a little odd at times. She fits you perfectly. Well if you were . . . nevermind.
Yes I know we d probably be married if I batted for that team so to speak. Well anyways he s been a friend of hers for years now and we ve just never met. Finally we did because he was interested in moving in when Matt moves out in a few days.
Well you be careful. Boys like him are dangerous she warned.
Out of curiosity how d you figure me out? Emmett questioned.
Honey I ve been around the block. I can tell when something s a little different. And like you said: if you were straight you and Cassidy would be married and happy even. I remember there was a time when she had the look in her eyes that I see in yours right now for Mr. Adams.
Is it that obvious? And wait Cassidy did?
Yes she did. But I knew it would pass. She s an intelligent young woman and she will find someone. And yes it s quite obvious to me darling but not to him don t worry. When you re around him you have yourself in a little shell. Cecelia paused for a moment putting her hand on his knee. You should try letting your guard down a little bit she told him gently. You could use someone.
That s the last thing I should do Cee Emmett said. That last thing I need is someone to get involved with and then break my heart. He s probably not interested in me anyways. I mean come on I m blind.
First of all your blindness means nothing if he really felt something for you. But secondly you should work that out with him. You ll have plenty of time to do so seeing as he s going to live with you. He seems grounded enough that if something falls out so to speak he won t run. He ll keep living there and be the friend you need.
I know that I was able to tell when I met him. He seems great. Emmett took a few breaths. He s attractive isn t he?
Oh honey he s one of the finest pieces of meat I ve ever set my eyes on if I m not being too subtle she responded good-naturedly. Emmett gave a small chuckle. He s a few inches taller than you he has blond hair cut short and tousled neatly and he has a body to die for which I m sure you can tell when you feel him up every time he leads you somewhere. Emmett laughed again. His face turned to a stony expression just moments afterwards.
Cee I don t know if I can do this Emmett said softly leaning forward to rest his arms on his legs.
Sure you can. I know you and you are strong enough to get through anything.
Thanks Cee. I don t know what I d do without your sage advice Emmett said.
Now I don t know about my advice being sage but I m here for you she responded. Let s get you back upstairs.
Emmett walked up got in bed and fell asleep exhausted.
–
Emmett wiped the tears from his eyes and applauded as he heard the minister give Matt permission to kiss his bride. Cassidy had sat beside him holding his hand and Gavin sat on the other restraining himself from grabbing Emmett s other hand while kissing the tears away. Once the recessional music had ended the three got up and headed inside. Dinner passed quickly and Emmett was enjoying himself immensely. Finally the music started and Cassidy pulled him up.
Come on stud we need to go dance she ordered. Gavin watched them as they gyrated waltzed and swing-danced according to the music. They were definitely the two most talented dancers up there but once again Gavin found himself absorbed in Emmett. Gavin had moved in with Emmett two days earlier. He was tired he had sat on the edge of his bed staring across the hall watching Emmett sleep for the past two nights. He knew it seemed a little creepy and a lot clichГ© but Emmett was so beautiful and at peace when he slept. It gave him a sort of consolation.
Hey you look a little bored a voice said rousing him from his daydreaming. Gavin looked up to see Suzanne. And lonely. I didn t miss your transfixion.
Hey you. Why aren t you dancing with your lucky bride? he joked pointing to Matt. She laughed.
Well first of all he s a bad dancer and secondly he s on his way to the little boys room. Want to dance?
Gavin got up and danced for a while his eyes still wandering over to Cassidy and Emmett. Finally Suzanne turned his head back to her and looked him in the eyes.
You are a mess she shouted over the music. Go dance with him! Suzanne walked over to Cassidy and yanked her away from Emmett. Emmett was slightly panicked at the loss of contact until he heard Cassidy s voice.
I m getting a drink with the bride she told him quickly as a slow song came on. Emmett laughed and stood there unsure of what to do. He was clearly unable to just find his way back to his seat. Gavin saw his apprehension and walked over taking a deep breath.
Hey stranger he said putting a hand on Emmett s shoulder and bending his head down to talk into Emmett s ear. May I dance with you? Emmett heard Gavin s voice shaking as he asked this and couldn t help the smile that crept onto his face.
I would like that Emmett said back feeling the side of Gavin s face brush against his. The feeling was thrilling. Emmett put his arms around Gavin s pulling him closer and putting his hands on the back of Gavin s shoulders. He felt Gavin s hands stall awkwardly on the sides of his hips then finally move around him to his lower back. Gavin looked down at Emmett s face observing the happiness behind his eyes.
I m sorry I m so bad at this Gavin apologized.
You re not bad at it Emmett responded. You just need to be taught how.
Well you re a good teacher. I d be flattered to have you teach me.
I m flattered that you d let me Emmett responded his head reeling at the thought of dancing with Gavin again. He rested his head on Gavin s shoulder as they swayed slowly.
Look at them Cassidy said to Suzanne and Matt. The three of them looked at Emmett and Gavin awkwardly dancing exchanging a few words then settling into each other. Matt looked back at Cassidy and saw her smirking quite smugly.
You fiend he grinned. You knew.
Listen I didn t do anything. I just introduced two friends to one another. They did all the work she smirked again.
Yeah but you had a hunch Suzanne accused.
Me? Meddle with something like this? Never. Cassidy retorted sarcastically taking a sip of her champagne.
Come on you Suzanne said to Matt. It s time for us to make our exit.
We ll finally get to the best part of these shenanigans Matt smiled mischievously. Suzanne slapped him lovingly on the arm and they walked away hand-in-hand. Cassidy said her goodbyes then returned her attention to Emmett and Gavin. Another waltz had come on and she saw Emmett patiently trying to teach Gavin what he could.
Put your feet in front of mine like this Emmett told Gavin lightly grabbing his leg and positioning it. Emmett straightened and put his hand on Gavin s shoulder. Your posture is horrible right now. I know you sit with good posture because every time I sit with you your back is as straight as a board.
Gavin straightened up just as the piece ended. The two stood uncomfortably as the next song started. Cassidy approached them and led them away.
Come on you two let s head out she told them.
What time is it? Emmett asked.
Eleven but I have to be to work tomorrow by six. So I don t know about you two but I m going to split.
The three walked outside together through the parking lot.
So Cassidy continued did you two have a nice dance lesson? She looked at them and saw both men blush. I ll take that as a yes .
Cassidy left as Emmett got in Gavin s car.
Was she okay to be driving? Emmett asked.
Yeah she was fine. She didn t even finish her glass of champagne and she ate a big dinner Gavin answered starting the car. The twenty-minute drive home was quiet until Gavin had parked and they were walking into the building.
Thank you for dancing with me if you could call it that Gavin said quietly. No one has ever done that with me before.
I can tell Emmett teased then becoming serious. You re quite welcome. They walked in the doors of the building to be greeted by a good-humored Cecelia and Pete.
Well if it isn t Emmett and Mr. Adams. Why you two make a snazzy sight.
You sure do Emmett heard Pete chime in. How was the wedding?
It was wonderful Emmett answered.
Cecelia looked the two over. Emmett was clearly quite happy as told by his mannerisms. Gavin however possessed a longing behind his eyes. She watched as he looked down at Emmett affectionately and realized that he was completely hooked.
They ll end up together you know Cecelia told her husband softly as Gavin and Emmett walked up the first flight of stairs. Mark my words they are made for each other.
I think so too and even if I didn t I wouldn t argue with you Pete answered. I know better than that he smiled.
Emmett and Gavin finished the last flight of stairs and walked to the door of the apartment. Gavin opened the door for Emmett and Emmett walked in and proceeded straight to his room. Gavin went to his room changed into a pair of comfortable shorts and tee-shirt and hung his suit in the closet. Just as he was doing so he heard a small crash and what sounded like pieces rolling all over the floor and a shouted Goddamn it! He rushed out of his room and knocked on Emmett s door.
Hey Emmett everything okay in there? Silence ensued but Emmett finally spoke quietly.
Uh wow this is embarrassing but I could use a little help. Come on in he replied.
Gavin opened the door and stopped at the sight. Emmett was sitting on the floor in his tux pants wearing no shirt cufflinks and shirt studs rolling all over the floor. The box for them was lying in the corner where it had bounced after it had been thrown against the wall. Gavin however couldn t take his eyes off of Emmett. Even sitting down Emmett s muscular stomach torso back and arms were apparent. His hair was messed up and his eyes and face glowed with exasperation. Gavin knew that he would never see anything sexier so he took in the sight. He wanted so badly to wrap Emmett in his arms and never let go but reality wouldn t allow for that.
Uh Gavin you okay? Emmett asked intruding on Gavin s reverie. He could feel Gavin was still there but couldn t hear him.
Uh yeah sorry. Let me help you clean these up. Emmett could hear the edge in his voice. What happened here anyways?
I got them all out of the shirt but I couldn t find their designated places in the box Emmett said looking down. I guess I just got really flustered.
That s okay. I can t even imagine how frustrated I would get if I couldn t see. Gavin paused then realized. Oh god I m sorry. I didn t mean for it to sound like that he said quickly.
No it s fine. I understand what you meant. It s not like I can beat around the bush anymore either. I can t see and that s that. It s okay to mention it and talk about it. I m way past that phase Emmett said.
Gavin collected all of the pieces that were strewn about put them in the box closed it and handed it to Emmett after he had stood up.
Here. I don t know where you want them Gavin said softly.
Thanks Gavin. I don t know what I d do without you. Emmett wrapped his arms around Gavin in a hug. Emmett was a naturally touch-oriented person as he was blind. However touching Gavin felt different. Gavin though didn t know what to do but finally wrapped his arms around Emmett as well. The embrace lasted no longer than ten seconds before Gavin stepped away blinked and tried to swallow the lump in his throat.
No problem he croaked walking out of the room and into the kitchen. He sat on one of the chairs at the bar wondering what had happened. He had never been moved so much by anyone before nor had he ever responded so much to someone s gestures mannerisms appearance and touch. Before long Emmett wandered out into the kitchen in lounge pants and a tight sleeveless shirt yet again stealing Gavin s captivation and breath.
Want something to drink? Emmett asked completely unaware of Gavin s situation. You sounded a little dry in there.
Sure. Some water would be great Gavin said pausing and thinking. Wait what am I doing sitting here letting you get it for me. You should be sitting down and I should be getting you a drink. Gavin didn t expect that statement to irritate Emmett but it did. A lot. Emmett turned around from putting ice cubes in the glasses fire in his eyes.
Listen just because I m blind doesn t mean that you need to wait on me hand and foot. Believe it or not I could probably function without someone most of the time but there are isolated instances like the one you just witnessed that I could use a pair of eyes around here. Don t ever make the mistake of thinking that because I m blind I can t take care of myself. I m not incapable of being independent. Is that clear?
Gavin had gotten out of his seat and walked over to Emmett by the time Emmett reached his rhetorical question. Before Emmett could do anything about it Gavin had scooped him up in his arms.
I know you re quite capable of doing it yourself. The problem is I want to do it for you Gavin stated pristinely setting Emmett down in one of the chairs. Meet your match Dr. Clark.
Emmett didn t know what to do. He was so impacted by the gesture he couldn t speak. At the same time however he was so angry that Gavin had belittled him. The entire time he was filling the water glasses Gavin watched the change of emotions flutter through Emmett s eyes. Then they shut and Gavin s heart sank.
Here s your water Gavin said then walked over to the couch picked up a book and sat down to read. Emmett was livid at Gavin s brusqueness. He walked over to the couch found Gavin grabbed the book from his hands and threw it across the room. He then sat down on the table in front of the couch facing Gavin. Gavin noticed his eyes were still shut.
Do I have your attention now? Emmett asked angrily.
Uh yeah Gavin whispered surprised. Emmett opened his eyes showing both his sadness and his fury.
Good. Now let s get something straight. You are not going to take my life and my independence away? He was interrupted by Gavin s finger on his lips.
Emmett I m so sorry Gavin apologized sincerely holding Emmett s face between his hands. It was supposed to be a funny harmless gesture. I m sorry. I ll let you do whatever it is that you do on your own. Emmett suddenly blushed and shook his head out of Gavin s grasp trying not to notice the sparks from Gavin s touch and the knots in his stomach. He was so speechless from the gesture that he just sat there staring into what happened to be Gavin s eyes.
Gavin was absorbed in Emmett s gaze.
You have the most beautiful eyes Emmett Gavin whispered into the silence. Emmett immediately shut his eyes blocking the world from seeing his emotions. Gavin let out his breath slowly in disappointment as Emmett got up.
I think it s time I went to bed Emmett said walking down the hall and shutting his door.
Gavin turned out the lights walked to his room and sat on the bed. Looking up at the closed door across the hallway he put his head in his hands and started silently crying. He knew that Emmett would keep his eyes closed around him now and he knew it was his fault.
Why did I say that? Damn it Gavin cursed waiting for sleep to overtake him but it never did. He wished he had the drive to walk across the hall and apologize but he didn t. He couldn t let Emmett see him like this. Gavin lay awake staring at the ceiling small tears dripping down out of his eyes. He didn t know why or how but everything Emmett did affected him. Finally Gavin just spread out across the bed giving up on sleep.
Across the hall Emmett had been thinking about his roller coaster of emotions that evening. He knew that Gavin had feelings for him and he also knew that he had feelings for Gavin but Emmett wondered what would happen if it ended disastrously. He crawled into his bed and sighed the thoughts in his head silencing themselves unable to hear Gavin s barely audible sobs across the way.
