Lyle woke up with an aching feeling on his backside. He groaned and sat up, stretching to try and lessen the pain. The sun was shining so brightly that the rays penetrated the large glass window in the room. Lyle looked away to avoid the sunlight, but was surprised when he saw that the person beside him was basically shining brighter than the sun.
Atlas was still snoring quietly in his sleep. His chest was bare, and you could see his very defined features. Lyle stared for a while before snapping out of his trance. He wiped the drool on his mouth and got up to take a shower. As soon as his feet hit the cold floor, he felt a chill in his spine. He shivered and hugged himself before walking to the bathroom.
He shut the bathroom door and turned the water on, showering peacefully with warm water to relax his muscles and feel less cold. He stayed in the shower for a while until he heard a knock at the door.
"You in there?" Atlas asked, his voice still a bit groggy. Lyle was startled, but he quickly replied. "I'm here."
Water was the only thing you could hear for a few seconds. But suddenly, the bathroom door clicked open and Atlas casually walked in the bathroom, making Lyle's jaw drop.
"Shameless..." Lyle mumbled under his breath. He took a towel and wrapped it around his body. And without any waste of time, Lyle quickly dashed out of the bathroom. He heard a chuckle before he closed the door, so he felt a bit annoyed but also flustered.
Atlas took off his clothes and started showering while smiling to himself at the same time. This was not something that he would usually do, considering that he is oftentimes very nonchalant about everything. But Lyle's adorable actions gave Atlas the entertainment that he needed.
After a few more minutes, Atlas got out of the shower and went back to the room, expecting Lyle to still be there. But when he got back, there was no one in the room. The only trace of Lyle that was left, were the stains on the bedsheets. The tears, sweat and other bodily fluids that were shed on their eventful night.
Atlas felt an emotion that he could not explain. Maybe it was anger or a feeling of annoyance? He did not know. He could only sit back on the bed to try and think about where Lyle has fled to. Atlas looked out the window, but he couldn't see Lyle; so he just decided to stop thinking about it for a while as he was planning to get his secretary to look for Lyle instead.
On the other hand, the one who is running away, has actually gone far already. Lyle, who was annoyed and also embarrassed because of his antics the other night, couldn't do anything but to get out of the building to try and escape the flustered feeling that he gets whenever he sees Atlas.
Lyle sighed, and thought to himself. "I won't see him again anyway, so I'll just forget about this."
Little did he know that fate has others plans to make them see each other again.
