The Bad Boy's Dirty Little Secret BL Chapter 28: Tops and Bottoms

Kai’s P.O.V

“Do I have to pair up with her?” Night whined for the thousandth time as I finally got him to eat something before he plopped back down onto his bed. “Why can’t it be anyone else?”

“I tried to negotiate with Zach, the student body president, but he doesn’t want to.” I shrugged, finishing up on my assignments as I sat on the table right opposite to Night’s bed. “At least he’s not having us do couple’s photoshoots in the pool.”

“That doesn’t sound so bad…” Night frowned. “Is it?”

“Considering that Ruby and I ended up having sex in the changing room last year?” I raised my eyebrows, my lips tilting up in a smirk when I saw Night’s expression sour. “Yup. I think it is.”

“At least that’s not happening with me.” He grumbled under his breath, before he sat up with his pillow clutched in his arms. “What about you? Who are you paired with this year?”

“Ah…I think her name is Saya? She’s a freshman from Commerce.” I shrugged. “Pretty cute if you ask me. And she seems polite.”

“Why do you sound excited about it?”

I sighed, putting down my pen. At this rate, I’m not getting anything done for my assignment. “Night, you don’t have to be suspicious of everything. I swear, I’m not going to go off sleeping around with anyone. I asked for a month to figure this out, didn’t I? Then why do you keep thinking that it only applies to you?”

Night’s mouth fell open in a tiny ‘o’ as realization finally dawned. “Oh…”

“Yeah…oh!” I mocked, my brows furrowing together. “If I had to make it just for you, it would be completely unfair and it wouldn’t make sense either. I want this month to be just you and me. No one else. How does that sound?”

“Does that mean you’ll sleep with me?” He raised his eyebrows, a silly smile on his face.

That question did catch me offguard, I’m not gonna lie. With anyone else, I wouldn’t have hesitated. Hell, I’d lost count of the one-night stands I’ve had in the past two years itself! But with Night?

“I want to take things slow for once.” I told him honestly. “Figuring this out…it is a big deal for me. It’s more than just accepting if I’m gay or bi or if it’s just you that has me interested. So I don’t want to rush into anything. If…stuff happens naturally, I’m not going to stop it.”

“Then answer this…who’s gonna bottom?” That silly smile was back on his face again, and I was sure he was loving this, getting me flustered.

“Pardon?” I frowned. “What do you mean?”

“You know…tops and bottoms! If we have sex…who’s gonna bottom first?”

The more he spoke the less I understood. Why was this so confusing? “What’s the difference?”

“Tops are the ones who get to…let’s say ‘dominate’?” Night shrugged, his smile widening when he saw my eyebrows shoot up. “And bottoms are on the receiving end. There are also verses, the ones who take turns, and I was guessing we could be like that?”

“I er…um…I…” Holy shit! I’d never considered all that had I? Tops and bottoms and verses? I could already feel my head spinning from all this.

Being on the receiving end? Like…did he mean…the one who…got penetrated?

Hell no! I’d never ever thought about that in my life! I was absolutely not going to be comfortable with it.

“Top.” I said quickly, before Night started to get ideas. “I’d prefer to be the top.”

“I had a feeling you would say that.” He laughed, almost falling back on the bed once again. “God, you should’ve seen the expression on your face!”

“What about you?” I asked him, to change the subject. “Have you always been the…err…top?”

“Depends on the person.” Night shrugged, wiping tears from the corner of his eyes. “I mostly top others but when I had been with my ex, I was the bottom. So you can say I’m a switch.”

Wow…we now have switch to add to the list of stuff that I need to research on…extensively.

“By the way, if you’re curious, go search on the web,” Night told me before I got up from my seat. “Don’t go around asking other gays or people in general. It’s actually rude to ask someone if you’re a top or a bottom or a verse.”

“You mean, like…how it’s rude to ask a woman what position she likes?” I raised my eyebrows.

“Exactly…we different context but close.” He shrugged. “You can always ask me and I’ll be happy to demonstrate.”

“Are you sick or just high?” I shook my head. “I don’t understand how you can feel horny when you can’t even sit straight.”

“Maybe a bit of both?” He sighed. “I’d tell you to sleep next to me or cuddle me if I wasn’t sick tonight…”

“What are you, five?”

“No, but I feel a bit lonely.” He shrugged. “I don’t know why. I usually don’t feel lonely. And you’re still here as well, in the same room…but I still feel lonely.”

Looking at him now, trying to make that sad face as he looked up at me through his lashes, I would’ve felt sorry for him…if I hadn't seen that slight tilt to his lips, that little wicked gleam in his eyes that spoke volumes of just how big of a faker he really was.

Lonely my foot! He was just trying to get me in his bed.

And a sucker that I was for his puppy eyes, I might actually be giving in.

Closing up all my books and papers, I moved them into my book cabinet next to my bed and cleared out the table before heading to the bathroom to finish my business. When I came out, I found Night with his back turned to me, the covers practically on the floor and even though I couldn’t see his face, the curve of his shoulders told me someone was sulking all the way to dreamland.

Sighing, I went over to his bed and nudged him lightly. “Scoot over.”

Night looked up at me in surprise. “Huh?”

“Scoot over.” I narrowed my eyes at him. “Offer’s gonna last for a very limited period of time, buddy. So if y-”

“I’m moving!” He exclaimed, scooting over almost immediately until he was right at the edge of his tiny bed.

Sighing, I picked up the covers and slid in next to him, the warmth radiating off of his body enough to feel like I was hugging a furnace.

“Just tonight.” I warned him, wrapping an arm around his middle so that I didn’t fall off the bed. “This thing is way too tiny for us to be sleeping together.”

“Why don’t we join them?” He suggested. “Both of our beds?”

I thought about it for a second. Join the two beds together? What happens when Cole or someone else comes to visit us? Won’t it seem weird when they saw the beds together?

“Fine.” I mumbled, already feeling drowsy as soon as my head hit the pillow. “We’ll do that tomorrow.”

“You promise?” Night’s voice was hopeful and I didn’t want to continue talking to him any longer otherwise, I’d be wide awake all night.

“Sure.” I yawned, snuggling in closer to his warmth. “Promise.”

It sure felt nice, the way he fit right into my arms. The warmth radiating off of him slowly lulled me into a deep sleep as I snuggled into the crook of his neck, taking in his scent.

Yeah…maybe it won’t be so bad…sleeping like this every night.
