CARDS chapter 7

Chapter 7

After the pair of agents got Devlin's car back, the realization of their current situation sunk in. Neither would be surprised if someone told them "Surprise! You're on Candid Camera!"

Looking at his watch, Devlin noted that they should probably call Alice and Alec. "Wouldn't want them waiting for us to come back all night, you know."

Pulling out his cell phone, Chess replied, "Already on it." All he got for answer was the answering machine on the other end. "They aren't picking up…"

"Well, they are a couple… maybe it's best to let them be and check in on them in the morning," Devlin said calmly.

"Yeah, that is probably the best option…" After a long pause, "So, wanna see what they're up to?" Chess said, grinning impishly.

"I-I really don't think that would be a good idea--"

"Oh, don't be such a stick in the mud! It'll be fun!" Chess said, grabbing Devlin and pulling him into the car after him. Unfortunately, he, in his enthusiasm, forgot that that wouldn't logically work right.

Devlin was the first to realize the position he had been pulled into by Chess. He blushed furiously at the thought. Devlin had somehow ended up straddling Chess, their chests close together.

Chess soon realized this, too. He put on his famous grin and said, "You know, we could easily…"

If possible, Devlin's face became even more red than before. "A-absolutely not! Not in the car!" He quickly realized his mistake and covered his mouth with both hands.

Chess smirked. 'So cute!' He thought, before pulling the brunette closer. He chuckled slightly before whispering in the other man's ear, "Hehe. So, not in the car, is it? Does that mean you would  if we were somewhere else?"

Devlin let out a small "Eep!" as the violet-haired man toyed with his hair. "N-no, that's not what I--mmph." He was cut off by a pair of lips on his own. After a second, he gave in and kissed back. This seemed to surprise Chess momentarily, but then they were kissing again, this time more in synch with each other.

Chess opened his eyes for a second and glimpsed something moving. He decided to think nothing of it, though, and pushed it out of his mind.

Alec sighed. Sometimes, Alice just seemed to have this uncanny ability to find gay couples anytime, anywhere. "So, this is what you dragged me here for?" he said, exasperated.

"Uh-huh!" She said brightly.

'And cue the mental facepalm.' Alec loved his girlfriend. Really, he did. But sometimes, she could be downright unreasonable in her pursuit of yaoi. "You do realize that you are spying on our new friends making out, right? Isn't that even a little bit awkward for you?"

She paused, thinking for a second. "Hmm… Nope! Not at all!" She smiled at him as if that should've been obvious.

"Riiiight. Well, with the amount of yaoi you read (and watch…), you would think that you wanted me to become gay or something." Alec mumbled to himself.

"Huh? You would do that for me?"

Alec could swear he saw sparkles in Alice's eyes. "No."

"Aww… but whyyy?" She said, using her cutest, most innocent-looking face in the process.

"Why do you think? F-For whatever reason, I'm stuck on you!" He tried and failed to fight back the blush that crept onto his face from saying such a cheesy line.

"Aw! Alec~! I love you, too." Alice nearly choked Alec from the hug she flung around his neck.

"C-can't… breathe!" Alec managed out.

"Oh, sorry, hehe!" Alice said, smiling innocently.

'How the hell can she look so innocent after saying that she wants to see me make out with another guy?'

"The world may never know…" Alice said.

"How the heck did you do that?" Alec asked, slightly freaked out that she seemed to have read his thoughts.

"How did I do what?"

"Y-you read my mind."

"Huh? But I thought you were mumbling?"

"No, I wasn't…"

"Strange… Well, anyways, looks like we're done here. Chess just got slapped by Devlin. Guess he wasn't ready for that…" Alice said absentmindedly.

After Devlin and Chess finished making out, they sat there, catching their breaths.

"You know, I was going to say that we could easily move you over to the passenger seat, but this works, too," Chess said, smirking at the brunette in his arms.

That smirk didn't last long. Devlin made sure of that by slapping the cat-eared man across the left cheek hard enough to leave a red mark. "Ow! What was that for?"

"Whadd'ya think?" Devlin said, climbing over into the passenger seat and leaning so that he could comfortably sleep. "Well, I'm going to sleep. Tell me when we get back to my apartment."

"…Right," Chess said. Unfortunately for him, Devlin had fallen asleep before he had the chance to ask how to get to his apartment. 'Well, Dev, you're just gonna have to settle for my apartment, then.'
