The words hung in the sir around them as Oliver took a moment to think about what Sutton had asked him. Sure, from the looks of what he had asked him before the question came out it would seem to anyone that Oliver was in fact jealous. And naturally, outside of his life in New York Oliver was a jealous guy. But even so, he wasn’t sure that gave him the right to be when Sutton and him had never even had a full ‘talk about your feelings’ moment. “Um.. it’s just.. I mean it’s not that I’m jealous, per say,” he started slowly. “It’s just.. I didn’t think you’d ever.. I don’t know, bring someone to the bakery. N-Not after.. not after we slept together there.. I know you have far better options outside of your time with me.. it’s just.. I guess I’d rather not see all those way younger and painful more attractive then me options prancing around my shop.”
“Oliver,” the boy tried to interrupt the man midsentence but failed. Sutton's smiled only grew wider, “Oliver-- Oliver,” he repeated again. At the very moment, the older man was finished speaking, he leaned across the counter, gripping Oliver’s shirt as he kissed him deeply.
“You--” Sutton breathed, smiling against those lips. “You’re too cute. You have no reason to be jealous, or worried. They’re only here because I’m tutoring them.” He continued on, “You.. I wouldn’t do that to you, Oliver. I couldn’t. Can’t scare you away now after I just got you.”
