Caught [Chapter Ten]

Kinks: Voyeurism, Exhibitionism

---

POV: Alex

Like a man heading to his execution, I dragged my feet to the nearby Shakey's from our office, my pace getting slower the closer I get to the restaurant. Well, at some point I did reach it, so I walked in with unsteady nerves and a heart that beat with fear and hesitation.

Part of me just wanted to turn my back on all this and just walk away, but I know that if I want to at least salvage a bit of the friendship Mike and I shared, I should go through with this and accept what his decision will be.

At first I thought I went into the wrong Shakey's since I couldn't see Mike at first, but I caught a glimpse of him moving from one of the more secluded booths of the resto. I took a deep breath and headed towards the booth where he sat.

Mike had ordered some food. There was thin crust pizza (Hawaiian Delight, my favorite), Chicken and Mojos, and two glasses of drinks, one of which was on Mike's side of the table and another on the opposite side. Mike was on his phone and didn't notice me walk up to the booth, though I did notice that his polo shirt had been unbuttoned three buttons down from the top. A generous amount of his chest now lay free from the tight grip of his shirt.

He sure knows to hit hard where it hurts.

"H-hey, Mike." I greeted him with less than my usual beat.

He looked up at me from his phone and then motioned to the diner couch seat opposite him.

"Upo ka muna, Alex. You want to order something?" Mike returned his attention to his phone as I moved to take a seat as I'm told.

"No, I'm... not that hungry, actually." I replied. "Listen, Mike, I'm really -"

"-Sorry?" Mike set down his phone on the table and stared at me directly, resting his hands on the table. "You can only say sorry so many times, Alex." he took a swig from his drink. "You should eat something, baka himatayin ka sa mga masasabi ko sayo. You look like you didn't eat anything at all yesterday."

He pushed the tray of chicken and mojos towards me and the tempting scent of the chicken arrested my nostrils. My eyes, however, were arrested by Mike's chest and how it got slightly more exposed by his hand moving to slide the tray.

"You like it?" Mike looks down on his chest area and smiles. "Sorry, medyo mainit kasi, mahina ata A/C nila dito."

Whatever words I was about to say were lost as he unbuttons his polo one level further down, exposing even more of his chest area.

"Mike, what..." I turn to Mike with a puzzled expression on my face, unable to contain my curiosity any longer. "...What's going on with you?"

Something doesn't add up with Mike's attitude. Yesterday kulang nalang sapakin nya ko bago sya umalis ng condo ko.

Now it's like there's a certain deliberateness to his actions.

And it looks like he's enjoying it? Nag-smile sya kanina while unbuttoning that polo!

Slow na kung slow, pero handicapped ako for the entirety of yesterday until today, okay?!

"I'm the one asking questions right now, Alex, you owe me this much at least." Mike scooped out a slice of pizza, placed it on a plate, then set it down in front of me. "And speaking of questions, you didn't really answer me yesterday, Alex."

I opened my mouth to react, but Mike continued on while getting a slice of pizza for himself.

"Do you really get so turned on watching me like this, Alex?" he tilted his head a bit sideways as he looked at me, a hint of a smile on his face. "Or like last weekend, even. Do you like seeing... these..." he parts his polo shirt to expose an erect nipple in full view of me, and my eyes cannot help but fixate on that pink, luscious part. "...parts of me?"

"M-Mike, I... I don't understand." I finally managed to let out the words that my brain struggled to form into a coherent sentence. "I... I know what I did was horrible, but, I... this is... this is wrong."

"There's nothing wrong if we both make it right." Mike lets go of his shirt and then takes one of the mojos from the tray. He dips it in sauce and holds it up over his mouth, opening wide and sticking his tongue out a bit as he catches the piece of fried potato in and savors it, chewing as he faced me with a smile and a wink.

"What do you mean?" I leaned forward, my hands pressed against the edge of the table, my expression one of inscrutable confusion. "Are you saying you..."

"...liked it?" Mike took a bite from his pizza. "Yes. Yes, I did, Alex."

I had to pull myself out of my shock. I leaned back to the couch as my brain literally exploded at this revelation.

I was speechless.

"I kept asking you last weekend, Alex." Mike wiped his lips with tissue and stared at me again, his eyes so intent through those cute glasses.

"But... but you were so angry, Mike!" it was my turn to retort, and that may have come a bit from that little bead of angry that's welling up beside me. Was that all just an act? "Pinaglaruan mo lang ba ko nun, Mike?!"

"Don't get me wrong, Alex, the anger I felt yesterday was real." Mike glowered back at me, which quickly softened as he realized that he did so. "But it was short-lived. Because when I saw the look on your face..."

"...You liked it." I finished his sentence for him, crossing my arms. Wow, what a 180 this suddenly turned out to be. My anxieties were suddenly crossed out by a sudden infusion of my own anger.

"I did, but that's when I also realized that I can't bring myself to really get angry at you, considering that I sort of... asked for it in the first place." it was Mike's turn to look awkward, and even in my messed-up state I can feel the awkward from him.

"You asked for it?" I asked. I finally had the energy and the assertiveness to grab my pizza and take a bite out of it.

"What you saw in the shower, Alex..." Mike said, the words coming out slow, like as if nag-iisip sya mabuti ng sasabihin. "...I wanted you to see it."

I stopped mid-bite on the pizza.

Oh my God.

Mike really is an exhibitionist.

Okay, Monday, please don't end na. This nightmare just became a daydream.

"You... wanted me to see it." I repeated, just as equally slowly. "Were you lying when you asked me for how long I've been spying on you? Matagal mo na bang alam na binobosohan kita, Mike?"

"No, I wasn't. To be honest, it sort of turned me on more that time when I heard that you've been doing it for a long while now." Mike scratched at the back of his head as he looked away. "I don't know how to explain it, Alex. I mean, whatever this... kink or such that I have... I only got turned on when women were doing it to me."

I took a drink to steady my nerves. So Mike has been at this for a while too, huh. I wouldn't be surprised considering how much of a peacock he is. Guy's out to show off to people, and apparently that's where he gets his sexual high.

Like a key slipping into a lock.

Alex, Voyeur. Mike, Exhib.

POV: Mike

I thought long and hard how to steer our friendship from the muddy waters it was in last weekend, but I guess this is as best a compromise as any.

Besides, I had to also make up for the asshole moves I pulled on Alex yesterday.

Right now, I can feel my face turning red with embarrassment. Here lies Mike, confessing his own dark kinks to a guy who's apparently got his own skeletons in the closet.

"But while I was showering, shit, man." I continued, biting my lip and closing my eyes, Fantasy-Alex staring right at me again from the shower. "Tinigasan ako ng todo nung inimagine ko na ikaw yung nanonood sakin habang nagjajakol ako."

"Not knowing na, in fact, nanonood nga ako habang nagjajakol ka." Alex took a drink from his glass and leaned back again, his arms crossed. Gosh, the intent look on his eyes so strongly resembled Fantasy-Alex's eyes.

My boner, not really hiding much under my attire, throbbed hard and eager.

"I fantasized, Alex." Mike said. "I guess you got lucky you finally got to see it."

"I didn't, actually." Alex shrugged. "My laundry hamper was in the way, but I got to see how far it went. I did see how you moaned and how your face twisted into that look of pleasure as you came." he leaned forward slowly at the table as he did, lowering his voice to a sneaky tone as he spoke, a smirk forming in his face.

Alex has joined the game, and I'm about to lose now.

Fuck, I'm excited.

"Looks like you really took in what view you can." I just managed to say, just leaning my elbows on the table and smiling back at Alex. "Sayang you missed out on the best part, though. Can I apologize by giving you a better view this time?"

"Whoa, wait." Alex put his palms out in front of me and leaned off the table. "This... Mike, I don't deny that I like this, uhh, discovery, but... we're friends, Mike. Is this... is this a line you want us to cross?"

"Well, let me ask you again, then, Alex." I said, taking another mojo and popping it between my lips, then sucking inward to swalow it. "If I say that I'm okay with what we will have, is it something you'll still like?"

"Yes, of course. Of course I am!" Alex's response was almost ecstatically eager. "But I've always known you to be, uhh, no offense... straight? Baka hindi mo magustuhan yung experience of being with, of sleeping with another guy?"

"It's new territory, I admit. But I can at least say I'm not closed to the experience, so I guess I'm that thing you guys call, uhh... Bicurious? Bisexual? I can't put the right term, to be honest." I laughed to try to break the ice and loosen some tension.

"Bicurious, maybe." Alex smiles at that. Finally, a genuine smile from Alex. I was worried that my antics may have irreparably damaged our friendship. "I just wanted to make sure, Mike. You know I'm 100... maybe 200% in on this. I just don't want it affecting or changing our dynamics as friends."

"Like I said, Alex." I took a drink from my glass too. "It's not wrong if we both want to make it right. Question is... do you want to make it right?"

Alex heaved a sigh and smiled.

I knew what the answer will be at that point.

POV: Alex

Tanggal lahat ng anxieties ko.

It was like shedding the chrysalis and emerging as a beautiful butterfly.

I let it all out in a very, very, very, very relieved sigh.

Mike isn't angry with me.

Mike likes the kinks I do to him.

And for the biggest win of the day, Mike likes me.

No, no, there is no room for assumption there, Alex. Mike wouldn't even bother with this sort of fun and games if the interest isn't there. He could have walked away, he could have left and ended the friendship. He could have done worse things with the knowledge he had over me.

But he didn't.

That lifted a heavy weight on my chest and disappeared out of that sigh.

"Yes." I followed after the sigh, still breathing with that euphoric elation. "Yes, Mike, I do want to make it right. Make it better, even."

"That makes me happy to hear it, Alex." Mike smiles at me, flashing his winning white teeth. "Teka, CR lang ako, tangina parang maiihi ako sa tuwa."

"You're right when you said I need to eat, kasi parang hihimatayin talaga ko sa tuwa and sa relief." I reach for a chicken and take a bite at it, savoring the familiar Shakey's chicken taste. No other resto comes close.

Mike eased himself out of the couch and paused with his back turned to me to hoist up his pants, lifting up a bit of his polo in full view of me. I saw the garter of his thong and the thin string that disappeared down his ass as he hoisted his pants, then he turned sideways at me and winked slyly.

I stopped mid-bite at the chicken leg I was working on and narrowed my eyes at him.

Mike, you tasteful tease.

Tangina mo, now that we're in this thing (I didn't want to jinx it and call it a relationship yet!), you're now going full showoff on me.

Not complaining.

He headed off into the restrooms while I devoured the chicken hungrily, washing it down with my drink and injecting a bit of pizza love in between bites.

I have never felt so hungry. Lahat ng hindi ko ikinain sa depressive episode ko, bumawi lahat dito sa moment na to.

My phone suddenly buzzes with a message notification.

From Mike.

Oh, you kinky bastard.

I opened his message. True enough, he sent a video.

Mike: Thought I’d give a sneak peek of what you’ll see later ;)

It was a shot of him in the Shakey’s restroom, the camera displaying him in full view (he must have placed it on the sink). The buttons of his polo were all undone and they parted like the Red Sea, revealing his chest, his abs...

...and his treasure trail of pubes that disappeared down a juicy treat of a bulge held together by the crotch fabric of his thong. His pants were unbuckled and parted only slightly to let the bulge slip out and stare right into my eyes as I fixated upon them.

Mike’s expression was one of sensuous delight, his arms raised to emphasize his triceps, his hands at the back of his head. He had a sneaky smirk on his face - clearly he‘s enjoying doing this thirsty tease he’s giving me. Probably hungry too, because he turns to his right tricep and then licks it in a long line upward before ending it with a kiss and a bite at the muscle.

Hot damn.

HOT DAMN.

Napahawak ako sa boner ko, pucha.

Earlier today I felt like someone who just wants to crawl into a cave somewhere and just die.

Now I’m the luckiest man in the world.

He slid his hand down the tight undies and massaged his dick and balls inside, silently moaning as he did so. His free hand stole behind the polo, obviously to play with a nipple. He had this expression of need next, staring right at me in the video as if to say, “Alex, are you watching? Do you like it?”

Fuck yes, Mike. 100/100, 5-star rating, Gold Medal Award for Tasteful Teasing.

He then flashes his cheeky grin and slips his hand off his crotch, then making a grab for the camera, turning the view close to his face.

”Later, Alex, later.” Mike winked at me before the video ended.

”Did you like it?” I had a mini heart attack sa nerbyos when I heard Mike’s voice cut into my fantasies. He had apparently already returned from the restroom and was back on his seat, staring at me with that same cheeky look on his face as the video.

"Later?" I asked Mike, smirking and eyeing him with a naughty look that I reserve only for guys I flirt with. He's flirting with me now, may as well flirt back with equal force.

"Yeah. Later tonight." Mike takes another slice of pizza and puts it on his place. "I figured you wouldn't want to wait for the weekend after we've had our talk today."

"Bold of you to assume that our talk today would go well, Mike." I laughed as I also took a slice of pizza.

"I got a bit scared after the 'scaring' I pulled out yesterday." he made air quotes to the word 'scaring'. Fuck you, Mike, you teased me and got me good.

Pagbabayaran mo to with a good show. A show I would never forget.

"Aren't you staying over at a friend's tonight?" I asked him, taking a drink after biting down on the pizza.

"Yes. Who do you think the friend is, Alex?" Mike asked, his smirk not vanishing. "Unless you think I'm not just a friend anymore."

Muntik na ko mabulunan sa iniinom ko.

Mike's going to stay over at... my place? Tonight?!

Oh, God, please let the work day end already!

"We'll see, Mike." I reply with vague words to Mike's tease. "Maybe if I like what I see later tonight."

"Oh, I think you will, Alex." Mike replies with that sexy confidence that turns me on so much. "If the look on your face earlier at my tease video was any indicator, I know I'll have your full and undivided attention tonight."

"I won't set up the mattress this time, Mike." I reply sternly at him. "This time, you're sleeping on the bed."

"And you'd wake up to a sight tomorrow, of course."

Gosh, Mike, how do you keep me on the verge of excitement with every word?!

I check my phone as I just smirk and continue eating. 1:30pm

ANG TAGAL PA.
