"I also want to know who sent me this," Neil said in a strained voice, looking at his lover.
"So, can you tell me now? How did this come about and why did someone send me this photo?" Neil asked again.
"Neil, what did you say?" said the voice of Neil's mother. This caused both to immediately turn to look. Nick's mother is still shopping.
"Well, he asked mom, and I showed him" Neil said back.
"Nick, I said it would be better to talk at home. Don't talk around here," Mom said.
"Yes," Nick replied, glaring at his lover.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Neil asked softly.
"If your mom hadn't been here, you would have been mad at me, right?" Nick asked back.
"Not much, shorty," Neil said, but he was grateful to his mother for calming him down a bit.
"You're always like this. I'll go talk to mom" Nick said and walked towards his mom angrily but it wasn't that serious.
"I told you what to talk about. No fuss in the first place" Neil's mom muttered.
"I know mum" replied Neil, before leading his mom to join Nick.
The whole-time walking through the supermarket Nick didn't go anywhere near Neil, but talking to Neil's mother normally, it makes Neil want to latch onto his lover's neck and drag him back to his condo right away, but he can't. He doesn't want to make his mother unhappy.
"Are you finished shopping, Mom?" Neil asked his mother, as he looked at the lover who was still picking fruit, not caring about Neil,
"Where are you going in such a hurry? Or if you have a few things to do first, the three of us can take a taxi alone" Neil's mother said sarcastically to her son.
"I don't have any business, I just had to ask" Neil said back, looking at Nick with a puzzled look for a while before finishing his shopping. Then Neil drove his mother and his lover's mother back home. Neil drives back to the condo, the 3 people help carry things up to the room.
"What are you making for dinner tonight?" Nick asked curiously.
"Would you like to cook this sukiyaki? I want to eat it" Mom said, Nick nodded.
"Then let me help you," said Nick.
"Fine," replied the mother, ignoring her son's glare. Once he got to the room, Nick arranged to move the belongings to the kitchen. Neil puts the things his mom bought in the little room where she sleeps, before heading out to find Nick in the kitchen again.
"Shorty" Neil called his lover.
"What?" Nick answered shortly and took the item out of his bag and placed it on the table. Neil's mother glanced slightly at her son and daughter-in-law.
"Let's talk," Neil said.
"I'm going to help mom," Nick responded immediately. This caused Neil to let out a slight grunt.
"Nick, go talk to him first. I'll be finished soon," said his mother.
"Yes," Nick responded graciously. As well as putting things on the kitchen floor. Nick entered the room with Neil following him, upon entering the room, Neil quickly locked the door.
"What is it?" Neil asked in a hushed tone. Nick turned to Neil with a puzzled look.
"What is it? Tell me clearly" Nick asked back.
"Why don't you pay attention to me? I try not to be impatient with you anymore. Why are you so angry?" Neil asked, looking at his lover without looking away.
"I'm not angry, I'm just irritated, because every time there's a problem or we encounter a problem, instead of talking to me gently or consulting with me and asking me. You come back and yell at me every time, I'm not that trustworthy, isn't it Neil?" Nick asked grimly.
"I asked you first," Neil said back.
"Because your mother was the one who advised you, were you the one who told me? I came to ask first, before you yelled as usual" said Nick knowingly, leaving Neil a little quiet.
"In our day-to-day life, if I didn't have our mothers, you'd probably pick a fight" Nick said again, and Neil sighed heavily. Before he raised his hand and rubbed his face in exhaustion, he then moved and pulled Nick into a hug, Nick struggled but Neil hugged him tightly.
"Don't fight it, little one, oh I'm sorry, I'll try to be calmer. No more complaining, okay?
Stop getting mad" Neil said in a normal tone,
"You always say that," Nick said back.
"Okay, I admit I was wrong. But now I want to know about it, how did it happen?" Neil asked about the photo. Nick breathed a sigh of relief before telling Neil the whole story. Neil remained silent.
"And then they sent you a picture so you could see it. The photographer was very skilled. Great picture" said Nick sarcastically to the person who took a picture of him and Paul.
"Who took the picture? Was it Paul? Does he want us to fight over me getting it wrong?" Neil took over.
"I don't think so, because it looks like Paul doesn't think he's going to see me either, and who would take the picture?" Nick asked back as Neil and Nick sat at the foot of the bed.
"Give me the picture again," said Nick, and Neil handed over the phone Nick opened it and wondered about the position of the person who would get up to take the picture.
"If I'm not mistaken, people who could take pictures in this position would be someone, who accesses the ladies' room, Neil" Nick said as he imagined the place.
"So, it must be a woman who took the picture, but I'm not sure. Maybe Paul could have someone take it. Neil still thought it was Paul's skill.
"Would you like to know? If Paul is involved?" Nick asked.
"I want, if it was him, I'm going to step on him" Neal said immediately back.
"Then you'll have to make an appointment to ask, simply and honestly," said Nick, curious to see if Paul was involved in the matter.
"Will he accept? If he's the one doing it?" Neil asked back.
"Fine, I'll keep Paul's secret. You don't have to worry. I'll go help your mother cook now." Nick said after clearing things with his lover.
"Wait" Neil pulls Nick to sit on his lap.
"What else?" Nick asked dryly before being pressed hard by the lips, Neil used his hand to hold his prey.
"Wait a minute," Neil said, giving Nick a slightly hard look at his lover.
"Well, it's good to talk about it, isn't it? You're the type of person who is arrogant, who doesn't keep his emotions in check, one day, I'm going to run away to sleep at my mother's house" said Nick not getting any angrier.
"Shorty, can you sleep alone? Seriously, if you don't sleep with me, will you be able to sleep well?" Neil asked jokingly.
"Huh, couldn't sleep," Nick replied, smiling.
"Not just me, you can't sleep either, " said Nick, back to his lover.
"I know," Neil said with a smile before kissing Nick again.
"You have so much confidence, I've wanted to jump up and bite your neck from the mall. Don't act like you're ignoring me" Neil said jokingly and Nick chuckled.
"I'm going to help mom, she is worried, we've been here a long time" said Nick thoughtfully. Then Neil releases Nick and walks to his mother in the kitchen
"Mom, I'll help you" Nick went to help Neil's mom prepare fresh produce to make Sukiyaki.
"Did you guys work everything out?" Mom asked worriedly.
"It's okay," Neil said back as he walked over to help his mother.
"Well, in married life, there must be some demons. It's up to both of you to be strong and help each other fight it. You must talk, ask each other, and discuss. Don't assume and think for yourself and then start a relationship. Fight, got it?" Neil's mother taught.
"I know... I know" Neil and Nick replied in unison.
"If Neil comes to ask me to fight again, I'll go out and sleep at home. I'll let Neil sleep alone" Nick said to Neil's mother, smiling.
"Well, it's good to leave him alone to think too" Neil's mother teased with a soft laugh.
"Ah, mother... he's short and very good with his mouth, to tell you the truth, he already ran away from home, in less than half a day, he had to come back and sleep with me. It was fast, he's so attached to me that he can't sleep alone" Neil said, making Nick smile.
"You're so sure son" Neil's mom teased.
"Bastard" Nick argued back. Giving tongue to Neil
"Wait a minute, I'm going to bite your tongue," Neil said, stepping closer to Nick.
"Don't do that," said Nick, stopping behind Neil's mother. Neil just smiled and nodded, before helping to prepare fresh food until finished.
"Would you like to eat, Neil?" Neil's mother asked.
"Mom, are you hungry?" Neil asked his mother.
"Not yet" Mom replied.
"Then I'll eat later," Neil said.
"You can eat whenever you want, don't wait for your mother. I want to lie down for a bit" Neil's mother said before going to rest in the small room. Neil and Nick are sitting in the living room watching TV. Nick lay down on the couch and leaned into Neil's lap. with one hand on Neil's phone as well.
"What are you playing shorty?" Neil asked his lover.
"Calling the number, you sent the photo to. No answer," grumbled Nick as he dialed several times.
"Well, I already tried" Neil said back.
"Shall we ask Day to help us investigate whose number this is?" Nick said, genuinely. Curious to know who secretly took the photo.
"Let's not get him worried. It's twice as exhausting now, raising two kids" Neil said, Nick raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Two kids? Day has a kid?" Nick asked curiously.
"Huh, what about Itt and Salmon? Your friend is like a kid," Neil said jokingly, a slight smile appeared on Nick's face.
"Before, Itt wasn't like this, is because of your friend who spoils him, he's like this" Nick said about his friend and laughed.
"Neil, did you buy any sodas?" Nick asked.
"I didn't buy it, why do you want it?" Neil asked back.
"I'm going to shop at Seven, across the street from the condo," Nick said as he sat down.
"Let's go together" Neil said back.
"No need, I'm going to buy the soda for a moment, and I'll be back soon" Said Nick, as he went down just to buy a soda. Neil still thought before nodding.
"Hurry up, and don't hang up the phone," Neil ordered.
"Yes" Nick replied with a smile, before walking over to grab his wallet and phone.
"If you want anything, just call and let me know. I'll get it for you" Nick told his lover before leaving the room.
Nick exits the elevator and walks to the front of the condo and greets the security guard a bit, as usual. Nick walked to Seven, not far from the front of the condo. The slender entered and looked for the soda, as well as walking to see snacks in the store, continuously when he gets what he wants. Nick went to pay and returned to the condo drinking the soda.
"Mr. Nick, be careful!" shouted the condo security guard.
"Ahh!!" Nick screamed in pain as he fell to the ground in front of the condo. Spilled soda, and groceries were strewn all over the place.
"You idiots, can't you see people walking?!" The security guard yelled at the driver, who ran back onto the sidewalk to look at Nick as he fell.
"How are you, Nick?" Security immediately came to support Nick.
"My leg hurts," said Nick, looking down at his ankle to find it was bleeding from the impact of the car.
"Mr. Neil is home?" asked the security guard again. Nick nodded.
The security guard quickly used the radio to inform the condo lobby to call Neil and tell him about the fact that Nick had been run over. Soon, the mother and Neil run to see Nick in shock. Nick was now sitting on a chair at the front of the condo, the condo caretaker is helping to clean Nick's wounds.
"Shorty, what happened?" Neil immediately asked, concerned.
"A runaway car," said Nick.
"Didn't you look before crossing?" Neil asked in a stern voice.
"Speak well Neil, Nick is in pain," said his mother.
"I think I'd better take Nick to the doctor to have his wounds tended to. His skin is broken," said his mother, worried.
"It's not a big deal, Mom. It's a little bruise on my ankle," said Nick, not wanting anyone to worry.
"Don't be stubborn. Go see a doctor now... little one, where did the person driving the car that hurt Nick go?" Neil said and turned to ask the security guards.
"He didn't stop Mr. Neil, couldn't get the license plate" replied the security guard.
"Thanks. I'm going to take Nick to the doctor first, and then I'll come back and sort this out. Thank you all so much" Neil said again before picking Nick up. Nick immediately grabbed Neil by the neck.
"Mom, please open the car door for me," Neil said to his mother, before carrying Nick in his arms to the car. Neil's mother opened the door for Neil to sit Nick. The mother hurriedly followed and sat in the back. Besides taking a shirt in the car for Nick to wear,
since his shirt was wet. Neil immediately took Nick to a nearby doctor.
..........
"In addition to the external abrasions I've already cleaned up, he has a sprained ankle. Don't put too much weight on your injured foot for a while. The nurse will give you medication and continue cleaning the ankle wound" he said. the doctor after cleaning the wound for Nick and examining it thoroughly. Nick and Neil raised their hands to honor the doctor one more time before Neil picked Nick up.
"I can walk on my own," Nick said back, and Neil gave his lover a fierce look.
"Don't be stubborn" Neil said shortly, before carrying his lover over to his mother who was sitting outside waiting.
"How are you, son?" Neil's mom asked worriedly.
"No big deal mom. Just a sprained ankle and a little scraped up" Nick said with a smile as he didn't want to worry his lover's mother. Neil placed Nick in the chair next to his mother. Then he went to get the medicine and pay, before taking Nick back to the car
again.
"Who is the bastard who doesn't care about driving" Mom groaned as she walked back to the condo.
"I'll get the license plate number and find it myself," Neil said hoarsely.
"What the hell, Neil. It was an accident," Nick said nonchalantly.
"How can he hurt anyone and run away... he didn't even come back to apologize or help" Neil said angrily. Nick turned to look at his lover's mother.
"You don't have to look at Mom. Even if Mom said stop, I won't give up" Neil said again.
"They hurt you, Nick. Neil is right," said Neil's mother. Nick puffed out his cheeks before standing still without objecting. Upon arriving at the condo Neil got out of the car and picked up Nick. Security and the janitor rushed to inquire about the severity of the injuries before Neil took Nick to his room.
"Sit here, I'll be right back" Neil said.
"Where are you going?" Nick asked his lover.
"I'll go down and get the license plate from security" Was all Neil said before leaving.
"He must be very worried. Neil is furious with the driver of that car," said Neil's mother.
"But I'm not too bad, Mom... It's just a small wound," Nick said back.
"But for those who love us, when we have a headache, they feel pain. So, look, it hurt your smooth legs, a wound like that he must be very angry" said his mother, looking at the wound on Nick's leg
"I'm strong. The soda spilled completely; I better take a shower first" Nick said as he slowly got up. getting up to take a shower.
"Can you shower yourself? Be careful not to hurt yourself, I'll help you" said the mother, before hurriedly getting up and helping Nick to his feet.
"You're too good to me" said Nick, feeling really loved.
"Well, you're mama's other boy. Mama must take good care of you" said Neil's mother with a smile before leading Nick into the bedroom.
"Mom, go rest. I can do it myself. P' Neil will be back soon" Nick said back, because he didn't want to bother his beloved mother too much.
"Wait, after showering, let's eat sukiyaki, okay? So, you can take your medicine and get some sleep," said the worried mother.
"Yes," Nick replied with a smile before Neil's mother left her son's room. Nick managed to get his shirt off and slowly limped into the bathroom to remove his pants.
"Oh... it hurts" cried Nick as he took off his pants and touched the wound, because of the burning sensation and pain in his ankle.
"Shorty!!" A voice called from the room.
"In the bathroom" Nick yelled. The bathroom door opened almost immediately.
"I told you not to walk alone, why are you so stubborn?" Neil growls.
"Well, I'm sticky. I want to take a shower, bathe me" Nick pleaded with his lover. Neil breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry so much, sit down and take off your pants," said Neil. Nick sat on the toilet and still couldn't take his pants off. Neil then slowly pulls the pants off his lover's body.
"I think I'd better clean you up. I don't want the wound to get in the water" Neil said before reaching over to grab a towel and wet it. gently cleaned Nick's body. Nick sits up and looks at his lover smiling.
"Good" said Nick.
"What is good?" Neil asked back.
"This kind of pain is good. You can take care of me like this" Nick said with a smile.
"Are you crippled?" Neil asked wryly patting Nick's strong shoulder.
"Damn, what a bad mouth, and if it's real, will you leave me?" Nick asked back.
"Who's going to let you? Even if you sleep like a sleeping prince, I'll be there to watch over you like this" Neil said with genuine feelings. Nick smiled before pinching his lover's cheeks.
"You are cute, whose husband, are you?" Nick said, before reaching out and kissing his lover's cheek with giggles. Neil shook his head and wiped Nick's body.
"Did you get the registration number?" Nick asked thoughtfully.
"Hmm... I'll call my friend to investigate whose car this is" Neil said back with a straight face.
"I don't think it's a coincidence that you got hit by a car, " Neil said again, causing Nick to furrow his brows in confusion.
