“Where is Mikey?” Michael said as he burst into the hospital grounds. The nurse in charge looked up to see the anxious man as she quickly replied,

“Good morning sir. Please could you step this way and let the guards search you first before we can disclose any information, you need to know. Sorry for the inconvenience, it is due to security reasons especially after what happened this morning.” The nurse said as two heft guards walked towards them with batons in their hands and their guns up in their holster.

“Are you kidding me? What do you mean by search me? Is this some kind of a jo9ke to you.” He said banging hard on the counter as the nurse flinched in fear as the guards said,

“Calm down sir, there is no need for violence. All we need to do is search and you are free to go. It won’t take 5 minutes of your time.” One said as he thought his shoulder but Michael quickly grabbed his hand and twisted it as he groaned in pain as the nurse started screaming in pain.

“Let him go now.” The second guard said as he brought out his gun and pointed at Michael who brought out his gun too.

“Whoa, whoa whoa, Calm down.” Black said rushing into the scene as he stood in between the guard and Michael and said,

“Calm down everyone. He is with me.” He said as he looked at Michael and added,

“Drop the gun….and let the guard go. They didn’t do anything wrong, I specifically told them to be searching people before they can proceed so that we won’t have another killer on the loose. Come with me, I will take you to the ward Mikey is in.” Black said as Michael let the man go and holstered back his gun, as the other guard did his too.

“Sorry about that. He is not usually like this.” Black said apologizing to the crowd that had gathered as they left the place.

“Where is Mikey? How is he? What did the doctor say?” Michael asked as they boarded the elevator with two other nurses.

“The doctor came out 30 minutes ago, the surgery was successful and Mikey is safe. All we have to do is wait for him to wake up. The doctor said that the anaesthetic will be wearing off anytime soon.”

“That is good news. Thank God, I know that he will fight it. He is strong.” Michael said for the first time looking visibly relieved as the elevator opened and they walked out as Black patted him on the shoulder and said,

“ Yes he is. The doctor said that he was calling your name all the time he was awake. Is there anything I should know?” Black said wiggling his eyebrows as Michael spluttered,

“What no, there is nothing going between us, he is my best friend and he is engaged also. Speaking of engagement, are his family here?” He asked as Black laughed and said,

“Dude, I was just teasing that he probably bribed you to take care of him more than me. What does he had to do with him getting engaged. Also I didn’t tell his grand father. That is the last thing anyone needs now. An angry old mafia in the walls of this hospital. I mean what you did was just an inch of the terror that he would rain here.” He said as they saw one of the doctors coming out of Mikey’s ward.

“Good morning doctor, how is Mikey doing.” Black asked as the doctor looked up from the report he was reading and a broad smile encased his face.

“Ah, Mr Black, back so soon, he is fine, not yet awake at the moment and who is this handsome young man beside you?” The doctor said as Michael smiled and greeted as Black placed his hand around his shoulder and said,

“This here is the famous Michael our best friend that our dear patient has been calling through surgery. He is here.” He said as the doctor reached for a handshake and shook his hand vigorously and said,

“So you are the great Michael that Mikey has been calling. Wow, you guys sure have a strong bond, I am envious of. If only Black hasn’t said that Mikey was engaged, I would have said that you two were definitely a couple.” He said as Michael laughed uncomfortably as Black frowned his face and said,

“Common man, you know how I hate gays. Besides my two best friends are completely straight. I can vouch for that.” He said as Michael kept mute and just nodded his head. Were they still best friends or lovers after all they had kissed? What did it mean? Maybe it was definitely a one time thing, it won’t even cross his mind again, But then again why was he feeling so flustered?

“Ahem, Mr Black can I borrow you for some seconds. The IT team were able to analyze the footage from the CCTV and we have to show you something. Michael do you mind me stealing him for some minutes?” He said as Michael shook his head and said,

“He is all yours doctor. I will just sit in Mikey’s room then.” He said as he waved Black and the doctor off before entering the ward.
Closing the door behind him, he heaved a sigh and soon his eyes gazed on the bed. He saw Mikey all bandaged up and fast asleep. He sighed as he walked closer and sat down on the bed inspecting every part of his body before looking at his face.

“You are bloody lucky that you survived. Or else I would have killed you myself.” He said placing his face on his chest as he heard a deep chuckle and said,

“And sometimes I wonder why I made you my best friend from being my IT guy.” Michael quickly sat erect as he saw Mikey smiling as he opened his eyes.

“Mikey, you dead dog! So you have been awake all this time. Why didn’t you say something to the doctors.”

“Because I wanted to see if you love me enough to come.” He replied leaving Michael shocked as he said,

“Oh!”

“Kidding, I just woke up when you got in the room. So I pretended to sleep to see if it was another attack from the enemy. Help me up.” He said as Michael held him gently and pulled him erect as Mikey groaned and said,

“Thanks. I really appreciate it.”

“You are welcome. So how are you doing? Do you want anything? Should I get some water or drink? Should I call the doctor? Are you feeling well, can you feel your legs……”

“Calm down Michael. Now you are nagging me like my grand father. The only thing I want right now is you.” He said plainly as Michael eyes widened in shock as he looked confused for a moment.

“And no I am not kidding this time around.” He said as Michael wanted to leave but Mikey held him back and said,

“Are you uncomfortable?”

“No, I am…just confused.” He said as Mickey looked confused as he pulled him back on the bed and said,

“What do you mean by you are confused? Tell me exactly what is wrong. You can talk to me. Are you angry because I am hitting on you?” He asked as Michael took a deep breath and said,

“No I am not angry. I am confused because you are straight. I know it and you know it too, but you are hitting on me. You have a fiancee. That is wrong.” He said as Mikey scoffed and said,

“The fiancee that hypnotized me to kill Black? Sure she is perfect for me.” He said sarcastically rolling his eyes.

Michael palm faced himself as he said,

“You know what I mean? And you being sarcastic is clearly not helping so drop the damn act. “

“Why are you hitting on me?” He asked plainly as Mikey shrugged and said,

“Probably because I like you.” He said plainly shrugging his shoulders as if it was as simple as that.

“What?” Michael said visibly shocked as Mikey nodded his head and said,

“Why else would I promote my IT guy from my company to helping him become a self acclaimed billionaire with his own company and his title as Mafia Lord 3. I have liked you since I set my eyes on you, but I didn’t know how to tell you. I am not gay but I rather be with you than anyone else.” He said as Michael swallowed hard and said,

“I hadn’t realized that. I thought….maybe it was I infuriated you or something, that you were determined to teach me a lesson. I mean you were completely mean and….”

“I was trying to hide the feelings. I am a very popular man, and everyone is looking at me to settle down with a wife and have kids. But nobody had asked me what I truly want.” He said as Michael smiled and said,

“ I know how that feels like.”

“Now that you know what I feel for you, what about you? Do you…” He paused biting his lips as Michael looked down-casted and said,

“To be honest, I really like you but I do not know if I like you as a lover or as a best friend. I am confused about my feelings too.” He said as Mikey nodded his head and said,

“It is cool. I understand. You don’t have to mince words. I will back off now.” He said as Michael looked at him and grinned a bit and said,

“I do…enjoy kissing you… a lot. Thinking of you makes me hot and when I heard from Black that you were dying, I felt like a part of me was dead. You should have seen me downstairs, I was ready to shoot anyone who wasn’t going to take me to you.” He said as Mikey laughed and edged closer and said

“I always knew that you were the crazy one. It is nice to see that you haven’t forsaken me yet. Can I?” He asked as Michael just nodded his head as he edged closer too as their nose touched.

“This is wrong.” Michael whispered as Mikey kissed his ear lobes and said,

“Then I don’t want us to be right.” He pulled him back on the bed with him as his lips connected as Mikey dominated the kiss, kissing him hard as he let his hand slid down to his jeans as he squeezed Michael’s d**k and Michael gasped softly.

“Guess someone is a little hard.” Mikey said smirking as he broke off the kiss.

“Oh just shut up and kiss me.” Michael grumbled as they kissed again, this time Michael was lying on top Mikey as they fell on the bed and Michael was trying to take over the act. He was kissing and biting Mikey’s neck leaving wet kisses towards his chest and then came to his face and bit the tip of his nose gently and then kissed him again as Mikey fought for dominance.

Michael slip his hand under Mikey’s trouser and grabbed his d**k massaging it up and down as he kept on kissing.

“Please don’t….it is torturous and I am about to release.” He said as Michael chuckled and said,

“Don’t worry. I want you to do that. So keep quiet before I make sure that the whole hospital hears your screams.” He said as he gripped his neck tightly and bit his lower lips until it turned red and swollen some more as Mikey groaned in pleasure and released his breaths in small pant.

“You are so damn perverted. I can’t believe you are capable of this.” He said as Michael grinned before his head snapped up as he faced the door.

“Someone is headed here.” Mikey whispered as Michael quickly let go of him and sat well while Mikey arranged his clothes and laid back on the bed pretending to be asleep as Michael faced the window, cursing the fact that his lips were still swollen and would be easily noticeable so he bit his lips so that he would have an excuse.
