Tom crossed his arms, smirking. “You’re a little flirt aren’t you? Come on, why do you wanna kiss me so much? You got a crush or somethin’?”

[alaricgardner-blog]

“Nothing wrong with being a flirt” he grinned. “Well it’s not exactly a crush. It’s more like... you now. You’re hot, there’s no point in ignoring that fact”

[eagleeyebarton-deactivated20170]

Frank laughed and shrugged his shoulders. “Sorry man but I’m a romantic so when I see someone with a dilemma, its like my go-to pep talk content.” He confessed, laughing softly. “You’re still young but eventually you’ll get to that point in your life. But you should definitely have as much fun as possible right now.” 

[alaricgardner-blog]

“A romantic huh? Don’t take this the wrong way, but that’s a little surprising” he said with a small laugh. “And I mean, I do like romance, I wouldn’t mind a little romance too I guess.”

[legacyofocelot-deactivated20171]

“Really?” Tom raised an eyebrow and smirked. “Well I’m glad, Al.” He gave Alaric a big grin. “The condition is that …” Tom’s face grew devilish. “You have to show up in practice next time wearing only boxers.”

[alaricgardner-blog]

“I uh....” he said  pausin while he thought. “Well if practice is in your room next time, I have no problems with that” he smirked. “Heck, maybe practice should be now?”

[legacyofocelot-deactivated20171]

“Is that the only reason you hang out with me, so I’ll kiss you?” He smirks. “Come on.” Tom takes Al to an empty hallway just outside the party room. “Okay, I’ll give you a kiss … on one condition.”

[alaricgardner-blog]

“it’s not the only reason” he teased. “We also just get on really well, it’s easy to be myself aroudn you” he admitted, with a shrug of his shoulders. “ooh okay, what’s the condition?”

[legacyofocelot-deactivated20171]

“I am! I’ll just get a little tipsy. Just a little.” He smirked, pinching his two fingers together. “I think it’s everyone’s favorite thing, or like, somewhere in their top three. Come on, freeze-pop, let’s go look.”

[alaricgardner-blog]

“Freeze pop?” he asked with a small laugh. “I actually like the one.” he said, reaching out to grab Tom’s hand. “We could go find food, or since nobody else is around yet you could uh.... kiss me”

[talcotthester]

“You should try it some time. It really helps you figure out which guys are gay and such.” He said with a small giggle. “And you’d look amazing. Plus, I probably have some you can borrow.” He let his shirt drop down and held a hand on either side of his hips, measuring them. He then kept his hands the same distance apart as he moved the to Alaric’s hips, nodding in affirmation when they were just about the same size.

[alaricgardner-blog]

“Yeah I uh..... I think I’ll skip on that. But thanks for offering” he said with a small laugh, feeling a little shocked and embarrassed when the other male put his hands on his waist. “I uh.... still I think uh.... sorry no”

[eagleeyebarton-deactivated20170]

“Ouch, that sucks. I’m sorry, man. But I can pretty much guarantee that you will find someone here. I mean, this is a private island. I can promise you that there is at least one person not completely straight here so you’re not alone. I can name a few more but that would take the adventure out of it.” 

[alaricgardner-blog]

“God you’re talking like I want to find a life partner or something” he said, letting out a small laugh. “And the adventure can be fun, but that’s exactly what I want right now, a little fun.”

[talcotthester]

Austin licked his lips as he saw the other lift his shirt up. “You look great, Alaric. Bet you could pull off a speedo just as well as I can.” He said with a grin.

[alaricgardner-blog]

“Thanks, that’s really sweet of you to say. But I don’t know about that really, I’m not the kind of guy to wear a speedo”

[legacyofocelot-deactivated20171]

“Oh I wouldn’t worry about that. I think you’ll have more fun being sober.” Tom shook his head. “Nah, guess it’s you and me for a while. Come on, let’s go see what they got for food.”

[alaricgardner-blog]

“If that’s the case, you should totally be sober too” he smiled at the other. “Food? Food is always a good idea. Food is like my second favourite thing”

[talcotthester]

Austin happily lifted up his shirt to show off his abs and the lower portion of his pecs. His abs were extremely defined from all his gymnastics training. “Your turn.” He said, smiling as he left his shirt up so Alaric could see. “I’m Austin by the way.”

[alaricgardner-blog]

“Wow... your abs are great” he commented, letting out a small laugh, before lifting up his own shirt. “I’m Alaric, it#s nice to meet you”

[eagleeyebarton-deactivated20170]

“Oh. Yeah that does makes things more difficult. How do you know he’s straight? Maybe he just doesn’t think anyone is interested. Or he could be fronting until he himself knows.” Frank added, shrugging his shoulders. “Perhaps he found it endearing. I’m just saying, never assume anyone is straight these days.” 

[alaricgardner-blog]

“Well I mean, I know you can’t just assume anybody’s straight, cause anybody can be anything they wanna be.” he said with a smile. “But when someone says ‘sorry dude, I’m straight’ I think that’s a pretty good indication” 

[legacyofocelot-deactivated20171]

Tom pulled back and leaned against the bar. “That’s cool. Sobriety is great.” He looked around. “See anyone else you know here?”

[alaricgardner-blog]

“I mean, it’s not bad, but I would kinda like to get a little tipsy” he admitted with a shrug of his shoulders. “And nope, nobody yet. Do you?”

[legacyofocelot-deactivated20171]

Tom laughed and shook his head. “That’s a good cute. Some people love puppies; and don’t think someone wouldn’t kiss you. You’re really cute, Al.” He leaned down to him. “And don’t worry, I would kiss you, okay?” He leaned back and looked to the bartender. “You’re what, nineteen?”

[alaricgardner-blog]

Alaric felt himself blush as Tom leaned towards him. “I uh Ii,..... okay good” he grinned. “I am nineteen yep, so it’s just coke for me unfortunately”

[legacyofocelot-deactivated20171]

Tom just smiled. He didn’t imagine Al would be able to best him, but he didn’t know everything about the freezy-pop. Maybe he had a few tricks to show. “Yes, you are very cute.” Tom turned to him and laughed. “Just like a pup.”

[alaricgardner-blog]

“That’s the wrong kind of cute though” he complained. “I want to be, I’d kiss him cute, not awh look at that puppy cute” he frowned, turning back to the bar and ordering another coke. “Damn, I wish I was old enough to drink”

[legacyofocelot-deactivated20171]

“Oh?” Tom nodded. “Fine, if you beat me, I’ll buy you dinner, it’s a deal.” Tom smirked and looked over himself. “I’ll take hot, don’t worry. You look pretty good yourself. Very cute, like a puppy.”

[alaricgardner-blog]

“Fantastic, I look forward to beating you then” he said before letting out a small laugh. “Cute? Wait... very cute. The very’s important.” he agreed with a laugh, although his cheeks did turn slightly pink.

[legacyofocelot-deactivated20171]

“That’s a nice dream, buddy. You keeping dreaming, okay?” He slapped a hand on Al’s shoulder, grinning. “Yeah, I know. It’s good that you’re training. We all can afford to get better.” Tom nodded, smiling a little. “Yeah, I wanted to look nice.”

[alaricgardner-blog]

“Fine, we’ll train together soon. If I kick your butt you have to buy me dinner” he suggested. “Well, luckily for you, you do look hot. I uh ... I mean you look nice... obviously”

[legacyofocelot-deactivated20171]

“Well you’ll get better I imagine. I mean, do you really need martial arts training anyway? You have ice powers.” Tom started to walk around with Al. “Ate breakfast, took a run. I spent some time training by myself. Then I got ready for the party.”

[alaricgardner-blog]

“Hopefully. Maybe I’ll get good enough to kick your butt” he laughed. “Yeah but like.... if it’s too hot for there to be ice around I might be screwed” he shrugged his shoulders. “That sounds like a fun day, and you clearly spent ages getting ready right?”
