After nine months summer finally arrived and Gareth was sweating.
Gareth would personally say that he was more of a fall kind of person especially if it meant touching his lover without dying of heatstroke. The sun was indeed becoming a number one hater for couples wanting to have jaw dropping sex.
Couples as in him and Kayden. Gareth can’t remember (he can) since the last time he had really touched Kayden. And honestly he was losing his mind, mostly because of the sun but also because Kayden refuses to touch him too, it almost feels like a betrayal except he’s doing the same thing.
The UK isn’t made for summer and he can tell, so the only thing they can do is go to the states where an ac will be blasting everywhere.
“Gareth are you sure we should drive?” No he wasn’t, especially since it was 39 degrees right now and the car didn’t have an ac and to put the cherry on top of it, it was a two hour drive to his brother’s and Glynn’s house.
But that doesn’t make him falter instead he rolls the windows down and looks at his husband who’s already sweating profoundly. “Of course I am, this will all be worth it.” He says with all the confidence in the world. Kayden side eyes him and starts driving. “This will end bad.” Kayden mumbles under his breath.
30 minutes later and both of them are dying in car. “This is by far your worst idea to date.” Kayden grumbles in pure irritation and turns his eyes to Gareth who avoids him. Gareth knew Kayden was right, but he didn’t need to know that, so he tuned him out completely and focussed on not melting.
Soon a whole hour passed and the temperature had only risen. The app showed 41 degrees but it felt like 99 degrees instead. Gareth could no longer tell if he had gone insane or if the world was on fire and shitting fireballs at him. “Kayde find a gas station, i need to get the fuck out of this car before i open the door and commit sucide.” He exhales slurring his words and wiping the sweat from his face with damp palms.
Kayden grunts with defeat which sounded more like a gasping for air. “Gareth we’re on a highway there’s nothing but cars.” In return Gareth sits back with closed eyes excepting his fate.
Gareth couldn’t fathom it took them twenty entire minutes to get out of the highway and find a gas station that was not sold out of water. But eventually they seceded in recurring a cold water source which so happened to be his brother’s hose. “Quick get the hose and drown me.” Gareth said while panting and pointing at the rolled up mess on the ground.
Kayden just laughed in response if you even could call it that and took the hose head and directing it at him. “Bottoms up pretty boy.” Gareth didn’t have time to react before he was shot in the head with ice cold water. He started waving his arms trying but failing to block the water pressure. “Okay, okay stop! God are you trying to kill me?” Kayden ignored him and turned the hose to himself after lowing the pressure and gave a sigh of relief.
Gareth stared at him in disbelief before taking his wet shirt off and disregarding it on the ground. A loud screaming sound rang out making him pause and turn around, and there he was greeted with multiple girls in swimsuits waving at him and Kayden. Honestly Gareth couldn’t blame them he knew how handsome he was so of course girls would be fawning over him left and right it was simply written in the stars.
“I can read your thoughts all the way here.” Gareth turns his attention back to his husband who’s rolling his eyes and walking to the door. Gareth grins. “What, it’s not my fault i was created so beautifully.” He exclaims with enthusiasm following Kayden into the house which is now wet all over the floor. “Gaz that you?” Glynn says as she ascends from the stairs looking horrified by how wet they are. “Missed us?” Gareth responds with a blindig smile.
