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

49: Splash

Usually, it would take Aeiou twenty to twenty five minutes to finish his bath. However, this day, Aeiou was into a suspicion that Zed would nitpick on him once he took too long to get ready.

"What took you so long? You masturbated didn't you?" He could already hear Zed's devious voice inside his head. 

Before, he'd lather soap in every corner of his body for ten minutes. Wash his hair with shampoo then let it soak in conditioner for five minutes. On top of this, Aeiou practice his singing in the bathroom, and it took so much of bodily function trying to find the right placement to healthily sing a note.

But today, Aeiou paid no mind to doing those. He just washed his body with soap quickly, put shampoo on his hair then conditioner after. Aeiou poured the third dip of water above his head. Then he instinctively reached for the door knob. There was no towel right there. That knob usually served as the hanging place for his towel since the splash of water in this barely three square meter rectangular space could cause the water and bubbles to splash onto different directions. The only safe haven for his towel not to get too wet is the door knob farthest to the back. It seemed he left it outside.

Aeiou turned his head to the door and sighed. He definitely forgot to bring his towel with him, but he did not forgot to bring his thoughts about Zed.

Before, it was not a big deal for Aeiou to go out and run naked all over the apartment whenever he left his towel. But that didn't seem to be great idea since Zed might just be outside waiting for him.

In all honesty, for some reason, Zed would be the last person Aeiou wanted to show his whole body to. Maybe that boundary was insecurity since Zed has perfect physique. Aeiou hoped it was all just that.

Having no other choice, Aeiou shouted. "Pa! My towel. I forgot to bring it with me. Can you reach for it?"

That time, when Aeiou's baritone voice roared out like an early seagull, Philip was already outside preparing the tables. He was not able to hear Aeiou's calls.

But there was still a figure inside the apartment whom Philip told to wait inside instead of waiting outside. Zed. The father even turned on the old television with sounds that are similar to an old cassette. 

Philip would not be able to take it once Zed, who was a very kind friend of his son, wait boringly outside. In fact, Philip was also sure that Zed would be courteous enough that the prince would suddenly help Philip fix the tables for the customers.

Hence, forcing Zed to stay inside, the one who heard Aeiou's call was not Philip, but the prince.

Watching TV, a sly smile spread along Zed's face. He stood up and tried to find where Aeiou's towel could be. Soon he found it hanging on the chair where they sat for breakfast. Zed took it and gazed at the door to see if Philip could see him. When he noticed Philip was busy flipping chairs and tables, Zed put the towel to his face and sniffed.

It had been nearly two minutes and there was still no answer nor Philip knocking on the door. Aeiou shouted again, "Pa?!" Aeiou's throat tightened up as he called and called repeatedly.  "Pa! Pa! Pa!" He couldn't go outside nude, but his father couldn't hear him as well. Aeiou slowly pulled the door knob open. He only planned on taking a small peek but what he saw was... a pair of cold eyes peeking inside as well. Aeiou does not expect and does not want to see was the first thing to greet him with his wet face. It was Zed.

"Ah!" Aeiou's eyebrows furrowed abruptly. Luckily, his head was the only thing that was exposed and the rest of his entire body was behind the door.

He snapped. "What are you doing?!"
