NO COMPROMISE

Lucas was ready to jump in his bed when he heard the person behind him calling him.

" Brother,"

Lucas sighs when he heard Adrian call him.

' Now what did this trouble maker want,' Lucas helplessly thought.

Lucas took a deep breath and turn around to look at Adrian who was fidgeting here and there as if he was hesitant to whether he should speak or not.

" Shoot whatever you want to, it's already past bedtime so plz be kind and don't cause any trouble," Lucas asked as he look at Adrian.

" Since you have already agreed to be my boyfriend, don't boyfriend share the bed, so I thought why not we also tried it," Adrian boldly express his thoughts.

He knew for this one month whatever experiment within the boundary won't be denied by Lucas wouldn't be able to turn him down since he had already promised him to be his boyfriend.

How could Lucas foolishly follow Adrian?

It's not that they haven't done it before but now the circumstance is different. Lucas suddenly become nervous but he, himself didn't know why he was feeling nervous. So he didn't readily agree with Adrian's proposition but he also completely reject him. He only postponed the matter.

" We have newly established our relationship so you have to wait for a week to climb my bed for now you have to be happy with just holding hands," Lucas solemnly stated. He also began to tell Adrian to search for what could be done in the one month of relationship in the net.

No way, he would agree with Adrian's absurd proposal. Despite being together in their childhood they have only met 2 months ago, they are still trying to rekindle their old friendship and growing slowly.

He can't let Adrian take advantage of him in the name of an experiment nor will he take advantage of Adrian.

Lucas quickly jump on his bed, turn off the light and went to bed leaving Adrian awake all alone. He was afraid that if he let Adrian recover from his rejection then Adrian would surely spout some more nonsense.

Adrian was upset but he also know his brother agreed with him eventually.

No way, he would wait a week before climbing to Lucas's bed. He will wait for a maximum of 3 days.

Thinking about the idea of how to coax Lucas to agree with him Adrian also fell asleep.

...

It was already time for them to get ready for Joey's birthday party.

They have already asked for a leave of absence from the evening self-study to attend the birthday party.

It was hard to convince their headteacher since tomorrow was the day of the monthly test but it wasn't an impossible task to achieve.

They promised something to their respective headteachers then the teachers readily agreed to their request.

Oh, for your kind information they didn't promise their teacher gifts or money instead they promise to get at least 5 marks more in each subject which was really a lot.

Even with this condition If the one asking for absence were other students then, there was no chance of getting it but since the one asking was the top students of the Elite class and Ace class the headteachers agreed but with the promise of attending tomorrow's monthly assessments in time and getting the marks they said with.

After that, they went to their dorm and change their clothes and finally, they got into their respective cars.

The cars were sent from Lucas and Hayden's family.

Hayden shares the car with the twins, Sebastian and Grace. The twins took the seat at the back whereas Hayden sat on the passenger seat.

As soon as they got into the car, Grace finally couldn't hold any longer and asked the question that has been bugging her since morning.

" Hey Hayden don't you think the atmosphere between Adrian and Lucas was quite different than before," Grace asked. Being a girl, she could notice something that the dense boys normally couldn't pick on but she also couldn't pinpoint the heart of the matter.

Adrian seems more clingy than before. He was constantly playing with Lucas's hand or hair all afternoon. He was attentive to Lucas before too but today it seems somewhat ambiguous.

And when she peeked at Lucas secretly Her eyes met with the warned gaze of Adrian which seems to say she would be finished if she ever had any design towards Lucas.

It was only for a sec but those dark eyes of Adrian left a great trauma for her.

" No, they were slowly redirecting to the way how they were before, you don't know how clingy and possessive brother Adrian is towards brother Lucas," Hayden casually answer then he turn around to the side and gave the name of the venue to the driver.

For Hayden being able to spend time with his two brothers being crushed between them is the happiest thing in the world.

Grace didn't know how good the relationship between Adrian and Lucas was so she just let the matter go for now.

Since they were going to attend the birthday they dressed up quite a bit.

Grace was wearing a floral detail midi blue dress which was simple and classy, the flowers were embroidered on the left side of the dress were pink and red, it was sleeveless and has a belt just above the belly button, she was wearing a red blazer and high heels, whereas Sebastian was wearing casual black pants with a blue shirt with a grey blazer and brown leather shoes.

Sebastian has a blue colour terminal watch in his left hand whereas Grace has a simple necklace and a grey colour terminal watch as accessories.

Hayden has also dressed in the same way as Sebastian it's just that his colours were different. He was wearing maroon pants with an olive shirt with a maroon blazer and olive colour shoes. He has his black colour terminal watch as the accessories.

As for Adrian and Lucas, they were both wearing blue and black crew sweaters with a white shirt, black pants and shoes. Lucas was adorned with signature gold-rimmed glasses, blue ear stud in right ears and a silver terminal watch in left whereas Adrian has a golden terminal watch in his left hand and has obsidian black ear stud in his right ear.

This ear stud was made 2 months ago to match with Lucas's.

They were wearing a matching dress like a couple as per Adrian's request. According to him, it will make them seem more like a couple but for Lucas, they have been dressed since they were kids so it was no big deal.

They reach their destination which happens to be the high-end resort on the northern side of the capital "The Empress" in an hour. It hasn't been too long since this resort was established. Many said it was established by a person who was deeply in love with his lover so it was called "The Empress".

Just as they alight from the cars with the gifts in their hands, they saw a holographic banner saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOEY at the entrance of the resort with Joey's smiling picture. She looked like an angel.

Lucas and the team glanced at it indifferently and made the way to the venue. For them, it was kind of tacky. Why do you need to announce your birthday to strangers?

But it's non of their business so they didn't pass the comment only Sebastian whistled when he saw such a banner.

When they were about to enter the venue they heard a girly voice excitedly calling from behind.

" Brother!"
