Forever in Me

by Clara Artemis

  - I'm not doing suspense - he said with embarrassment - but I thought a lot before deciding.

  - So...

  - I'm going to art college.

  I was not surprised by his choice. It would be a waste if he did not invest in his natural talent.

  - And that's not all. I already have a whole plan for the future - he said proudly. - I want to set up a gallery with an attachment for art classes.

  I was impressed by the conviction that he said that. He had thought about it a lot, for sure.

  - The gallery would be to exhibit projects by independent artists who do not have space to show their work. And I also want you to have classes for needy children and young people. After all, not everyone has a Gabriel to help them.

  - We could have paid classes too - I said already embarking on his idea. - It would be easy to cover the expenses and maintenance of the place.

  - Good idea! I thought about buying land and building it from scratch.

  - Where?

  - Close to the cultural center. There are many abandoned lands there. I just need someone to do the project.

  That was my cue. I would make his dream come true. Who besides me knew everything about Ariel? I would design the place any way he wanted.

  - I'll do the project.

  - How would you do that?

  - I will enter architecture college. I will design the gallery of your dreams.

  Ariel's eyes shone with emotion. I knew he wanted to include me in his dream. And his dream was also mine.

  We spent the afternoon researching colleges that had these courses on the same Campus and found some, but they were far from our city. We would have to move, but it wouldn't exactly be a problem. I would fix it for him.

  The weekend arrived and Ariel's parents went to an event in another city, staying there for the weekend.

  In order not to leave him alone, I stayed at his house at their request.

  I had slept there countless times, but I don't know why, this time it felt different. I felt anxious.

  The routine was still the same, while I made the food, he painted.

  But the day was exceptionally hot. It was a little rare to have that suffocating heat.

  After we ate, I took a shower and Ariel came in right after me.

  He came out of the shower wearing only shorts. His body was still damp.

  I could see a few drops of water running down his thin chest.

  It was impossible not to think about how I would like to lick them.

  His hair was also damp. Small drops fell from it on his shoulder. He was very careless at times.

  I went over and took the towel from him.

  - How many times do I need to tell you to dry your hair well.

  I rubbed the towel over his head, lightly so as not to hurt him. His hair was almost up to his neck.

  I was standing in front of him. Our bodies almost touch. Even though Ariel just got out of the shower, I felt the heat that radiated from his skin.

  His cheeks were flushed and his eyes had a different glow. I slid my hands up to his face, dropping the towel on the floor. I couldn't stop looking at him.

  I leaned my forehead against his and felt our breaths mix. I was trying to find some reason for not doing what I was thinking. But when I felt his hand lightly touch my chest, I lost all reason I still had.

  With my eyes locked on his, I closed the remaining distance between us and glued my lips to his.

  GABRIEL

  I

  gave Ariel some small kisses with closed lips. I wanted to keep my eyes open and see his reactions, but they closed themselves off. I put his arms around my neck and glued my body to his.

  I ran my tongue across the length of his mouth asking for passage. That was my first kiss, but I knew exactly how to do it. I had kissed him a thousand times on my head and in every possible way. He parted his lips, giving me full access to the inside of his mouth.

  It tasted like toothpaste and something sweet. I massaged his tongue with mine, encouraging him to repeat the gesture.

  At first our teeth collided, making us laugh, but gradually we found our rhythm. I was hungry for Ariel. I had been waiting for that kiss for years, but I didn't want to overwhelm it with my desire.

  I ran my hand over his back, feeling that soft skin. I needed to taste it, too.

  I released his mouth and went down his neck licking all the way there.

  Ariel was totally committed to that situation. His body felt slightly shaking with emotion. The taste of his skin was even sweeter than that of his mouth. I was intoxicated with all of that.

  I wanted more. Touch more. Taste more.

  I continued to explore all the places that my mouth reached. He passed his fingertips over my neck and back in a timid way.

  This whole situation got me very excited. My cock throbbed frantically inside my shorts. And I was sure he could feel my erection touching his leg.

  I raised my mouth again to his and kissed him. Now that our pace was in line, it was easier to try new things.

  I explored every corner of his mouth and teeth with my tongue, drawing Ariel's moans. But I needed to go slow. I didn't want to rush things. I had already waited so many years, a little more would be no problem.

  I slowly slowed down the kiss until I was giving him a little kiss. I put my hands on his warm face and smoothed it with my thumbs.

  I started to pull away, but Ariel's grip on my neck didn't allow it. He pulled me close again and deepened our kiss.

  This time he explored my entire mouth and ran his hands over all the places they reached. His hands were undecided, but very curious. And it was killing me. I couldn't contain myself and took things the way I planned.

  When I started to walk away, I felt his hand slide from my bare chest to the waistband of my shorts. Ariel ran his fingers lightly over my erection, causing goosebumps all over my body.

  - Gabs, I want more," he whispered in my mouth. - Please touch me more.

  I gently removed his body from mine. I didn't want him to think he was being rejected by me.

  I looked at him for some uncertainty. His face was completely red with shame, but his eyes were bright with determination.

  - Are you sure? - I asked. - I can wait all the time in the world for you.

  - I want you! I think if I let this opportunity pass, we will return to what we were before. And I couldn't stand it! I can't be content with that anymore. I need more.

  I took Ariel in my arms and hugged him tight. Knowing that he thought the same way filled me with joy. We felt the same urgency and need.

  I took his hand and led him to his room. We sat on the bed, facing each other. I put my hands on his face and stroked him. His hands went to my chest, sliding along its length.

  We had touched each other countless times before, but now it was different. Our touch was curious and full of desire. We explored each other's bodies by teasing us. I felt his lips on my shoulders giving small wet kisses. I took his wrist and bit it lightly there. I ran my tongue in place to soften the redness I left.

  I slid my hands over his body and brushed my finger across his navel in circular motions.

  His kisses grew more intense, pulling moans out of my mouth.

  I took his mouth in a violent kiss and lay down on it. He continued to explore me with his hands while I rubbed my shorts-covered erection on his.

  I removed his shorts leaving him with only white boxers. I sat on his legs to admire him.

  Fuck, how perfect he is.

  His underwear was slightly damp with pre-semen and I hadn't even touched him there. His desire for me was clear.

  "Take yours off," he said, his hand over his lips. - I want to see you, too.

  I removed my shorts and underwear, being completely exposed to Ariel's eyes.

  He also sat down, removed his underwear and put his mouth on my chest.

  His tongue and hands crawled over my body to my pulsating erection. H
e gave light kisses on the tip of it before placing it inside his mouth.

  I could never imagine that he would do that.

  We loved each other equally. And it was time to share that feeling.

  I laid on the bed and pulled the underside of his body over mine. I put us aside and his erection was in front of my face. I felt my mouth filling with water. I put it in my mouth, sucking it just like he was doing. I ran my hands over his leg until I reached his ass. I wanted to touch all of his body parts. I needed to love every bit of it.

  I should have brought the things I bought.

  - When did you buy all this?

  - There is already some time - he replied with embarrassment. - Actually it's the second time I buy. The others have expired.

  Has it been so long since he wanted me that way?

  I pulled him out again and kissed him while he rode me. I took his hands and placed them on our joined erections. He started to masturbate us simultaneously while I slid my hand down his ass. I opened the lubricant and applied it to his entrance.

  - Are you okay with being the one below? - I asked while running my finger on his entrance. - We can exchange.

  He laid his head on my shoulder and put his mouth to my ear.

  - Are you really going to make me say that?

  - What?

  - You already give me so many things and take good care of me. Let me give you at least that. Ariel took a deep breath. - I always imagined myself being possessed by you.

  I pulled on his hair and took those lips with mine.

  While he masturbated us I gently put my finger inside him. Gradually I enlarged it and inserted another one. I looked for his sweet spot with my fingers. I knew there was a place right there that would give him a lot of pleasure.

  I touched a small bump that made him moan loudly. I started to stimulate that point until I left it gasping.

  When I was almost unable to control myself, I took him off my lap, put on the condom and laid him face down.

  - Not like this. I want to look at you while you own me.

  I turned his body over and positioned myself at his entrance. I started little by little, to get used to it.

  - Does it hurt? - He shook his head. - If it hurts please tell me. I do not wanna hurt you.

  - You would never hurt me.

  After being completely connected to him, I enjoyed that moment. Inside Ariel was warm and welcoming. We fit together perfectly.

  - Please, Gabs, move.

  His tearful tone was all I needed to move.

  As I entered and left his body, I kissed his tears of pleasure and touched my forehead to his.

  I was about to come, but I wanted us to come together. I put my hand on his erection and jerked him off to the edge.

  - I'm going to come, Gabs.

  - Let's go together.

  I increased the pace of thrusts to our limit and we both reached ecstasy together.

  I laid down beside him and pulled him into my arms.

  - Now you're completely mine.

  - You, too, Gabs.

  - Silly. - I kissed his forehead. - I've always been.

  I knew that our relationship had taken a new step. It had evolved where it should be. And I would enjoy it as long as I could.

  A pity that this time would be much shorter than any of us could think.

  ARIEL

  - I

  can't believe that after weeks we did it! - Gabriel said throwing himself on the bed. - Free!

  - Not yet free! We still have to throw all the boxes away!

  Gabriel put the pillow over his face and shouted.

  - Not! I do not want anymore! Please promise that this is the last time we move?

  - Whose fault is it? If you had accepted the apartment soon, we would have only moved a house once.

  - It's not that simple, Ariel. There was no way I could accept an apartment from your parents.

  - They consider you their son, Gabs. There's nothing wrong with that.

  - Now I know that. But it is difficult to accept something that should be only yours.

  - They wanted to give us both a gift. It is natural to put the apartment in our name. - I sat next to him on the bed. - I just didn't count that it would take you three years to accept.

  Gabriel suddenly pulled me onto the bed and I fell beside him, laughing. He wrapped me in a hug, pinning me with his legs.

  - No more talking about changes. I want to stay here with you for a while. I'm tired.

  When we entered college, my parents wanted to give us an apartment. But Gabriel was very reluctant to accept. He did not like to take advantage of my parents. He had already taken me from them, so he couldn't accept anything else. His words.

  But he didn't understand that I was always his. Since the day we met.

  I looked at his sleeping face and kissed his eyes. He had deep dark circles. The college was demanding too much of him. Thankfully, I managed to convince him to quit one of his part-time jobs. It took him almost failing structural theory to hear me.

  I always liked his determined way. Until now I couldn't believe he was doing architecture for me.

  Being loved this way was inexplicable. And I did everything to deserve his love.

  I step out of his arms, careful not to wake him. I removed his shoes and arranged him on the bed.

  I picked up the cardboard boxes and folded them up. He would definitely complain that I did it myself, but I hate mess.

  I walked into my new studio and smiled. Gabriel had painted the walls a light green and arranged the furniture and easels.

  I went to the kitchen to take my antacid. My heartburn had increased a lot over the past few months. My stomach pains too. I should be more careful about mealtimes. But I was in the final stretch of art college and I needed to manage my time between classes and painting. Often, if it weren't for it, I would go all day without eating.

  I took the communication theory material to study. I would have a test this week and I didn’t do very well in this subject.

  After a few hours of studying, sleep started to dominate my body and I went to bed. Gabriel hadn't moved from the position I put him in.

  I laid down beside him and hugged him.

  "You took too long," said Gabriel sleepily. - Come closer. It's cold.

  -Sorry.

  I loved the fact that he was always aware of me. Even in his sleep he always looked for me.

  I woke up feeling soft kisses on my neck.

  - Ariel, wake up. We have class.

  I got up and got ready. I arrived in the kitchen and took just a sip of juice. I was feeling a little sick.

  - You have class tonight, right?

  - Yes. It is a special non-mandatory painting class. The teacher wants to teach us some techniques that are not in our schedule.

  - OK.

  Gabriel looked thoughtful.

  - Did something happen? You're kind of distant.

  - That's nothing. I'm just a little tired yet.

  - Try not to sleep in class.

  - And when are you going to make a drawing of me? Since we met you never used me as a model.

  - I could never draw you as I see you. I need to study hard for this.

  - Even if you drew me on chopsticks it would be beautiful.

  I burst out laughing, imagining a drawing of him like this.

  After we finished eating, we went to college. Today he wouldn't have to work so he would be home early.

  When I finally left college, it was almost eight in the evening. But it was worth it. The extra class would be very useful for my paintings.

  I got home and noticed that the lights in the room were off. There was only a small light coming from the kitchen.

  I went there and found a room full of candles. The table had dishes that were not from our house.

  - Did I forget a special date?

  - No. We are creating one today.

  I knew he was awkward in the morning.


  He came up to me, took my hand and gave it a gentle kiss and led me over to the table.

  I sat in the indicated chair and was served a juicy homemade hamburger filled with cheese and a generous portion of fries.

  - Shouldn't we eat something more exquisite? - I said while tasting the wine. - I'm not complaining. I loved the menu.

  - I wanted to do something special and I know you love hamburgers and fries.

  - I wouldn't trade that for any caviar in the world.

  - I know.

  During the meal we talked about amenities. But I knew that he was planning something. His shoulders were tense.

  When we finished eating, Gabriel collected the dishes. But when I went to get up to help him, he didn't let me.

  - We're not done yet.

  After placing the dishes in the sink, he pulled out his chair and placed it next to mine. He took my hand and kissed it as he had when I arrived.

  - Ariel, I love you more than anything. My whole world revolves around you. I know we can't officially marry, but I want to make you my life partner. I can't give you a piece of paper that proves that I'm yours, but I want to give you something that symbolizes that.

  He took a green velvet box from his pocket and opened it showing me its content. There were two silver wedding rings there.

  - I know you don't like golden things.

  Gabriel took one of the rings and put it on my finger. I repeated the gesture with the other. I was speechless. When I thought he had done everything he could for me, he surprises me.

  I clung to his neck and started to kiss him. Unfortunately I couldn't use the ring because of the painting, but the intention was already worth it.

  - Who says the surprise is over?

  He pulled my body away from his and took a silver chain out of his pocket.

  - I know you can't wear the ring on your finger, but I want you to carry it around with you to always remember how much I love you.

  - I would never forget that. - I held his face with my hands. - I love you.

  And I spent a few hours trying to show with my body everything he represented in my life.

  I woke up at dawn feeling very sick. My stomach hurt a lot. I got up from the bed to get my medicine, but a sudden retching went up my throat. I ran to the bathroom and poured out everything I had eaten for dinner.
