Yuvi woke up smiling, the night with Jum was extraordinary.
He didn't know why but he felt more satisfied with the teenage make out with Jum than all those mindless sexapades.
He woke up well slept but not with any misplaced guilt like he did for so many years.
It really felt good, it wasn't a nightmare, it felt like a dream after so long. Jum was shy and introvert but in front of a set of code, he transformed into a confident and dominant professional.
The contrast was striking and extremely appealing to Yuvi.
And he looked dreamy, with those upturned cat-like eyes and doll lips. When he came to his apartment for the first time wearing those sneakers, Yuvi wasn't sad to look at them but felt a wave of happy nostalgia.
His familiar nightmare of Ryan disappearing in the rain, had changed into him hugging Yuvi and stroking his hair, but this time it was Jum.
Both in his half-asleep dream and his fully awake body, he knew and wanted him.
Yuvi woke up aroused and realised Jum was in his bed.
He was done controlling himself and kissed Jum.
It was so much more than Yuvi had imagined it would be to be with him.
Jum's body was hard and soft, small but strong.Β He held Yuvi with restrained strength and multiplied passion.
Yuvi desperately wanted to take off the two soft layers of clothes separating them but he couldn't help feeling guilty to go on but he couldn't stop either.
He had cum in his underwear feeling satiated after so many years and the best part was cuddling into Jum's chest.
Yuvi couldn't stop smiling as he laid on his bed, his eyes still shut, thinking about the night.
"Jum, Oh My God! Jum!" He smiled, he always appreciated a brilliant mind which Jum did have but it was his overall personality that made him extremely attractive and that beautiful body, the body that fitted with him perfectly.
His body was too small for Yuvi's shorts. Seeing him in the boxers and his t-shirt had removed all confusions and aroused Yuvi. He was sexually attracted to Jum and he didn't want to ignore it anymore. Jum wasn't someone he could find in a hook-up app or a pub. He was someone who just happened to be put in your life by fate, he had tugged at his heart and mind after so long.
"Too Soon! You are thinking all this too soon!" Yuvi said loudly as he sat on the bed and placed his feet on the floor.
"Need to get it all set and date Jum!" He ordered his reflection as he brushed his teeth. He touched his tattoo and looked up, "Ryan, sweetie are we okay? Is it okay to feel like this for someone else? I really like him!" He had made up his mind, he was going to pursue Jum. "I need to clear this with my HR head." Yuvi needed Jum in his life and he wanted all the loose ends tied up properly.
He went straight to the home office when he couldn't find Jum anywhere else, he wasn't there. Yuvi looked around the large apartment and it was empty like before. He looked at his phone and Jum had left a message. 'Going Out!'
Yuvi was really disappointed that Jum wasn't there after he woke up. This feeling of longing after one person was not alien but forgotten and it was refreshing to feel them after so long without remorse.
He felt hurt and angry... and alive. Angry at himself that he had gone back for Jum and taken him to his bed and hurt that Jum seemed to have liked what happened between them but probably regretted it in the morning. Alive, to lust and obsess for someone after so long.
"What are you doing with your junior analyst? This is intimidation and undue advancement as we are working from my home and he is small and cute and vulnerable!" He berated himself. "And I want to punish him and make him moan my name aloud!" He added loudly.

Yuvi released some of his anger in the home gym and then towards the development team whose customisation Jum had penetrated and Yuvi had fixed during the holidays.
He got on a conference call with Ester, his Development head and Hans, the Quality head (Jum's reviewing manager).
"I didn't want to ruin your vacations but I need to talk to the development team of RSF Insurance version.
They have been testing the beta version for 3 months and Jum broke the code in 9 hours!" Yuvi said with restrained anger, never raising his voice, keeping his tone level but clearly upset.
That's when the doorbell rang and he hung up the conference after setting up an in-person meeting with the team.
He opened the door wearing a sweatshirt over his shorts and bare feet. It was Jum.
****
Jum had sent Yuvi a message and was out of the house before he woke up. The whole night was surreal for him and he was getting emotionally involved, this wasn't a crush anymore.
Ben was out of reach and hence his confusion was now ten folds. Jum hemmed and hawed for some time, then took a shower, changed and got out of his small apartment.
Now he was standing at Yuvi's doorstep with bagels and his laptop bag.
