The Playboy and the F*ckboy [BL] Season 1

46: Balls

"Eh?"

"Are you gay?"

Upon hearing those words, Hansel froze. He squinted his eyes. "Why would you ask me that now?"

"You used... he and him." 

Hansel heart skipped a beat. Did I really used he? Oh no.

Hansel feigned ignorance. "You might've heard wrong."

"Please don't lie, President."

 Hansel turned his head to Ashton. "No." Hansel was vexed. He had never met someone who could ask him about his sexuality.

"You're sweating, President. So please answer me, are you gay?"

"If I'm gay or not, that's none of your business."

Once he made his point clear, Hansel stood and spanked his bum twice, trying to remove some  dust. He was about to turn his body away and make his leave when Ashton  held his wrist.

Hansel was brought into a sudden halt. He was pulled back. His gaze went from his wrist to the person holding it right in that moment. 

"Is that why you have unrequited love, because the other person you love is straight?" 

Hansel's head hurt a bit. "Let go." He pulled his right arm strongly away. But when he was about to leave, his left wrist was grabbed by Ashton.

"President?"

Hansel sighed. Was I really gay? Hansel was close with a lot of different and promising men, yet he never felt a single attraction towards them, not even to Zed. But when it comes to Aeiou, his cheeks will always blush like a ripened apple in the amidst of scorching summer. "No. It's not about gender. That other person is in love with someone else."

Ashton's eyes softened, and his voice was empathetic when he spoke again. "I'm sorry."

Using his other hand, Hansel pushed Ashton's large hand away from his left wrist. 

Ashton spoke, "We are the same..."

"Huh?"

"Never mind. Want to grab a drink?"

Hansel almost shouted. FINALLY YOU ASKED!

But even before Hansel could nod, a black car stopped in front of them.

The two boys turned their heads at the same time. But Ashton's face was more fearful than the other. Ashton gulped. They're here! Shit! Who am I going to present as my girlfriend?!

Meanwhile, Hansel was waiting for the window of the car to roll down when he heard a deep gasp from his side. He looked up and saw Ashton's face changed into myriad of colors. Ashton's face color went from red to ghastly pale.

The window rolled down and a smile of an outstanding woman beamed upon the two boys.

Ashton smiled a very delighted yet nervous smile. "Mom."

Hansel was speechless. Hansel looked back at the car and said nothing.

"...and Brother."

On the driver's seat was a man wearing a black suit and a sly smile raised his hand. "Hey." 

Ashton kept the smile he gave to the woman he called Mom to that man, yet his cheeks visibly quivered. It was as if showing respect and love to that man was a strenuous activity.

After that greeting,  the attention was naturally sent to the other guy who was not greeting anyone. 

Ashton spoke, "Uh, President. This is Mom, that is my brother Hash."
