That one exception

Part 29

His eyes flicked over everything on our table and fidgeted as he thought about it, the silence was starting to feel awkward and my stomach felt like it was starting to tie itself in knots.  I was about to tell him that it was ok if he didn't want to answer yet when his eyes met mine and held my gaze.  He swallowed hard and cleared his throat.

"yes" his voice was low  and he sounded like he was confessing a forbidden secret.  Excitement and relief flooded through me as I smiled, without thinking I got out of my seat and stepped around the small circular table.  curling my hands around his face I leant down and kissed him getting a squeak of surprise from him before he returned my kiss.  it was only a brief kiss and moved back to look at his  ever blushing face.  "will you sit down for god sake" he mumbled as he licked his lips, I realised I had been 'gazing into his eyes' a little too long so I moved back to my seat, unable to remove the grin from my face "just one thing though Tyler.." he tilted his head, the smile on his face let me know that he was finding my reaction amusing.

"What's that wifey"

"instead of boyfriend could we be partners"

"Sure...until the wedding" I chuckled as I watched him pull a face.

"fine...but if you introduce me as the wife you won't get any for a month" He smiled with mischief in his eye just as the waiter returned with our food, the smile on his face said that he'd heard what Mini had said.

"can you tell he'll be the one that wears the pants in this relationship?" I asked sighing to myself but smiling at Mini as I leant back in my seat.

"Yes Sir" the waiter chuckled as he put my food down "although I'm sure you won't realise it most of the time" he smiled  and placed Mini's food down before leaving us alone again.  Mini was smirking at the waiters comment making me realise he already had manipulated how I behaved towards him on more than a couple of occasions.

"fine by me as long as I get what I want" I mumble as I pick up my knife and fork.

"And what is it you want exactly Tyler?" Mini  enquired with a little bit of a warning in his voice.

"I already told you what I want" I frown at him and tilt my head but the look on his face was making me want to smirk, I waited for a moment before pulling a face at him "You....you retard" I winked at him so he didn't think I was annoyed at him.  We started eating in silence occasionally looking up at each other and smirking.  I noticed that every now and then Mini would fidget as if his clothes where irritating him.  I tried to keep myself from commenting but as we finished our main course he was giving me furtive glances as well as fidgeting.

"Tyler...can we skip desert...or get it to go or something" His hands where wedge between his knees and he was biting his bottom lip.

"You ok?" I was starting to feel concerned that something was wrong.

"Yeah...I just...thought...maybe...you know" he smiled and bite his lip again.

"Desert first" I smirked at him as he pouted, sighed and sat back like a sulking teenager "Don't worry wifey you won't be disappointed"

"It's our last night together...I just imagined it being a little...different" he sighed and leant forward again as the waiter came in and cleared the plates and gave us the desert menu's before leaving again to give us a few minutes to decide what we want.

"I'm guessing that your imagination had you wearing and thinking a lot less than you are now?" I didn't have to look up to see the pout aimed at me.

"Maybe..." he muttered and started looking down the menu

"We'll be back a the hotel soon and you can show me how irresistible I am" I smirked at him, as he rolled his eyes, he was about to say something sassy back when the waiter came back in to take our desert order, I had a cheesecake while Mini had some kind of multi layered overdose of Chocolate thing.  part of me was curious to know what Mini was going to be like high on sugar and the other part was bracing itself for what kind of new torture a hyper and horny Mini could inflict on me.  I took my time eating my desert mainly to annoy Mini but I was also distracted with thoughts of what I could do to him later that he would feel the ghost of for however long it took for me to get the funds to go see him.  our conversation was pretty normal for us, just general chat about games, rumours, tech stuff and occasionally, if I wanted to make him blush, things that turned us on.  We finished up and paid the bill before heading back out, taking the same route back to the hotel.  We hadn't gone far when we ran into the guys, I groaned inwardly, looking over at Mini I saw that he looked a distressed.

"Tyler...we've been looking you guys and Evan and Delirious all over the place, where have you been?" Lui whined as we got close.

"walking mainly...and food a few moments ago" technically I wasn't lying we had walked there and we had just eaten.  I saw Mini chatting to Cartoonz and Brock out of the corner of my eye both seemed to have a sympathetic expression on their faces.

"well now that we've found you, you can join us...we're going to that club I was telling everyone about the other morning" he sounded really excited to be going to this club.  I saw Mini quickly move behind me and tuck himself between me and the sign post next to me, something seemed to be bothering him.  "Mini are you ok?" Lui sounded concerned.

"huh...uh... no....T-Tyler I need to g-go" he was stammering and looking like he thought the shadows where out to get him.

"Have you seen them?" I asked wondering if he had genuinely seen the goomba's.

"I-I'm not sure...I j-just want to go "He was looking around nervously and getting as close to my side as he could get without actually touching me.

"Sorry Lui...I'm going to take him to the hotel...we'll see you in the morning for breakfast though right?"  I placed my arm around Mini's shoulder and started guiding him down the street as I spoke to Lui.

"sure man...you want us to walk you back?" he asked looking at Mini's anxious face.

"nah man...I got it" I held my hand up in farewell and pulled Mini down the street keeping him close by my side.  When we were far enough away from the guys that we could speak without being heard I looked over at him "You ok Min?"

"I'm...having a minor issue but nothing that you need to worry about" he sounded uncomfortable and was looking around like he expected someone to be spying on us.

"what's wrong?" I put a little pressure on his shoulder as I pulled him closer.

"it's nothing"

"Don't make me make you tell me" I half growled, I didn't like that he was keeping something from me, it was irritating me.

he stopped walking and looked up at me, "ok...but promise you would do anything drastic"

"Mini I swear to god if you don't tell me" I stepped forward so that I was standing over him.

"Jeeze...calm down! "He rolled his eyes and indicated that I should lean down so he could whisper to me, I did as he asked and leant down, resisting the urge to wrap my arms around his waist at the same time.  he cleared his throat before continuing "I'm not wearing any underwear and my pants are annoying me"  Without thinking I pushed him back wards into the shadow's of a nearby alley way.  I knew we had left the guys view so they wouldn't of seen this, the second I had him in the shadows and against a wall I claimed his mouth again,  he tasted of overly sweet rich chocolate and the quiet moans coming from him where just as addictive.  I knew I couldn't do more than just kiss him here, I had to get him back to the hotel, and we had to go in via the front door to get reception to call up to our room. 

This was going to be a very long walk back.
