It is the 2nd part of kiss the gaze...

"Are you nervous??" Mew rubbed his hands nervously

"Aani"

"Gulf??"

"Wayy"

"GULF"

"Mew, relax it is your home, don't be nervous" He stroked on his arms

"you being like this make me more nervous"

"jeeze Mew, have some balls"

Mew just eyed him,

"Okay fine, I am serious, obviously they are your parents, but I can't go there like a trembling lead actress fidgeting right, I am gonna face them like a man" he hit on Mew's chest.

"Be strong, you are with a tough man"

Mew sighed, and hold his hands, hoping everything would go well and they would accept them. His family even didn't know till now he is bi or something, and it must be shocking for them...

"Gulf, Listen"

"shhhh, calm down", he blew on Mew's face

"what was that??"

"summer breeze did you feel nice"

Mew chuckles, "yaa I did"

He linked their hands and entered the house...

It feels like a typical family came straight out from the drama, everybody is serious and sat in the perfect pose... having tea with no smiles on, judging him already through his body to his clothes to his way of talking...

He bowed to the parents and nod his head to the younger sister, the tea was served for Mew and Gulf.

Is the situation normal??, why it feels awkward like they are not sitting with family but with some angry clients, who are now asking for compensation or something out of their hands

"I am Gulf kanawut.. Nice meeting you" he breaks the silence,

He didn't receive any response, they kept on sipping on their tea, how much tea they can sip from these little cups, they can't hold more than three sips for him...

His father breaks the silence and clears his throat, "So??", "What you do for a living??"

"I am musician, plays with bands and in club, fest, etc like that"

"Under which company"

"I am a freelancer"

They again made a face, he just smiled feeling awkward, Mew was the same beside him rigid, with a lip locked smile...

They sat dead silent again, showing no interest in interaction, his sister was on the phone like she was made to sit there and his parents were judging through their invisible antennas.

"So what about parents??, what they do??"

"I don't have, I was raised by my Aunt as guardian," he said, why it gives him typical drama vibes...

"Mew is this the right time to question your sexuality," his mother asked him while looking at Gulf in some dis-tasteful manner,

His feast tighten as he smiled, "Then tell me the right time to question sexuality"

Mew pressed on Gulf's thighs, making him stop from saying anything.

"I love him mother"

His mother scoffed, "Do you even know the meaning of love"

"We don't, why don't you elaborate" He crossed his arms in defensive mode, mew again, squeezed on Gulf's thigh stopping him.

Mew's phone buzzed and he excused himself, leaving Gulf with judging eyes alone,

"So musician huhhh", "so do you make enough to make living"

"More than enough to feed your son as well" he scoffed

"He doesn't need your pennies", "It is definitely you who is with him for money"

wahhh finally the most awaited question of the evening,

"No, I am not"

she scoffed, "We know people like you"

"Really, then tell me more about people like me" he was angry so bring it on, he will not back off...

"you gonna use him for his wealth, it was your plan from the start sleeping around with his wife, then break the marriage, you think we don't know, we know everything"

"What will you do, if I did that??"

"He can lose his status in the present company"

"I am sure he is capable of building his own,"

his mother stands up,

"What now you gonna throw cheque on my face??"

she gritted her teeth and pick the teapot and threw it on Gulf, he dodged it easily, "oops you missed it"

He takes out the pot from her hand, "But I won't miss it"

and he crashed the pot on the ground, "See, I didn't miss it"

Mew came running, "what happened??'

Gulf smiled at them, "I think you need a new tea set", then he caressed Mew's cheek, "And you are gonna built your own business" jeeze why his glasses are always missing when he drops a nice punch line,

He again turn around to the family and smiled, "can you please imagine me wearing black glasses, with few gold chains around my neck, walking off like real swagger with sound effects, thankyou",

he took confused Mew's hand and dashed out of the house...

"Gulf we are getting late, why you are taking so long in the bath"

"Gulf" Mew tapped on the door again,

"I swear, if you slept in the bathtub again, I am gonna kick your ass"

"Gulf", he opened the door and found Gulf soundly in sleep, with a lingering smile on his face... he face palmed himself and rubbed on it, they are getting late and here he is day dreaming..

He picked him up bridal style, which made him little awake, "ohh yes", "Mew, where are my shades"

"Stop blabbering you dumb, we are invited by my parents"

"What, we just met, I drop the punch line", he looked at his surrounding in disbelief, he dulled on Mew's shoulder, "Was it a dream"

"Who called a meeting at 8 in the morning on Sundays, do you guys have any decency"

Mew ignored him and started pulling out clothes for him, "take this"

"It is too tacky and dull"

Mew just facepalmed again, "you want it this way right"

He picked the shirt and put it on Gulf, "but I am not gonna wear those pants, they suck"

Mew pulled his towel and throw it on the side, sliding his legs in boxers, and then putting the pants on him, Gulf chuckles.

"Forget that, I am gonna style my hair or something, I like wavey it is in trend nowadays"

Mew picked up the gel and styled his hair properly, drenched in sweat and huffing he lastly looked at his creation, he looks good as always...

and finally, he saw Gulf's expression, the relief turns into a frown, "you were enjoying it aren't you??"

Gulf laugh out loud dragged Mew down to his sitting level,

"You are mean Gulfie, I am stressing out here"

"Why are you stressing out"

"Are you gonna leave me after this??"

"Noooo" He pulled him towards him...

"Then??"

"I want you to like them, and vice versa"

"would you love me less, if they don't like me??"

"No" He again set up his messed up hairs...

"Then why are you worried", "We are fine, and no one can deny my charm," he said with a wink,

Mew just sighed, hoping everything goes fine..

finally, they reached at home, Mew was worried about all this, but let's just face it...

"Aren't you gonna take off your glasses??"

"I get prepared"

"Prepared for"

"Dropping the bombs"

"Babe, please don't make me more nervous by saying some random shit"

Gulf takes off his glasses, put them in his pocket, he cupped Mew's face and blew on him, it is the same as he dreamed a while ago, "what are you doing??"

"summer breeze, feel better," he said with a smile

Mew smiled back, interlocking their fingers, the family was sitting sipping on tea when they arrived,

Gulf smiled internally, is this inception going on, or he just dreamed about the future, thank god he bring his glasses.

They sat in front, Mew greeted his parents and his sister and introduced Gulf to them....

why they are smiling, they should have a stoic face, but whatever... Gulf smiled and greeted them back..

his father cleared his throat, "so, what you do for a living??"

Gulf felt immense pleasure, like what, he must be blessed with some supernatural powers,

"Sir, "I am musician, plays with bands and in club, fest, etc like that"

they smiled at his response and looked at each other like their invisible antennas are making some nonverbal communication

"under the company??"

"No sir, I am a freelancer"

he smiled again, and nod his head, "That is great, freelancers have more freedom than those who are under some label", "But you need to be headstrong to survive", "i think you worth it"

Gulf was not expecting this response, but okay it felt nice to get praised, he smiled at them,

"I love to go to concerts, did you play gigs??" his sister interjected,

"yes, i do"

"That's great, can you take me on tour with you," she said with twinkling eyes..

his father clears his throat and his sister sits with dignity on her back and gives a polite smile like she gets the clue to behave..

his mother offered him tea, "so how about your parents??"

"My aunt was my guardian" he gave a polite smile, Mew rubbed on his back, and gesture didn't go unnoticed by the old couple, they didn't ask further questions, on this topic.

Soon they moved to dining area to have breakfast, Gulf nudged on Mew's sleeve, "Why are they behaving like this??"

"What??, did anyone made you uncomfortable??"

"No...., it is... why they are sweet??"

Mew chuckles, "you want them to treat you badly"

"No", "but??", "I broke your marriage why they are not asking about that??"

"I told them you love me from the club night, and so it started with one-sided love to you know both ends"

"so they don't know about the real reason for the break of your marriage"

"they know, but they don't know it was you"

"but that is wrong"

"nothing is wrong, the person who should know the whole truth is me, and I knew it, i understand it, i accepted it and that is that"

"but??"

"Enjoy your time Gulfie they already like you", "but stay away from sister, she is fangirling over you"

Gulf chuckles and had a good time with the family, the chances of using glasses look thin today...

"Seriously he tried to wash rice with soap??"

"yaa he did"

They all laugh out loud, "P'Mew I can't believe you could be this silly"

Mew just glared at her, "See P'Gulf how grumpy he is, always glaring"

"Don't ask, I am dealing with his grumpiness for a year now",

He signaled her to near her ear, she pinned her hair back of her ear, "he is a pain in the ass" he said quietly in her ear and they both laugh out loud.

Mew just sat there with lip sealed smile, he pull Gulf's feet between his and cross-legged him under the table, squeezed him tightly, "ahhh" Gulf whimper and looked at Mew, he squeezed on Mew's thighs and give him a kissy face, and again starts talking, Mew pulled him again, "having so much fun, arn't you"

"yaa it is" Gulf gave a toothy smile, and again averted his attention to his sister, the breakfast was lively, they will stay for lunch, and then they are free...

"P'Gulf let me show you around" his sister offered, he looked at Mew, Mew smiled and nod his head...

**

"He looks nice guy"

"He is"

"Are you really happy with him??"

"What you think??"

"I think you are", "But, people gonna judge you"

"Are you judging me??"

"Initially I did, but I am fine after seeing him, he is lively"

"Yaa he is"

"He doesn't give a shit about your grumpy face"

Mew chuckles, "naahhh he don't"

"Is he way too much to handle for you"

"I got worried if he doesn't behave extra"

He held his mother hand, "I am happy with him" his mother smiled rubbing on his hands, with glittery eyes, "you are, I can see that, I am happy for you"

She nods her head, "we are happy for you"

Mew dashed to his room and signaled Gulf to follow him,

"you wanna see him grupier," Gulf asked to his sister

"yaa"

"then follow me" he chuckles and he went to the room mew entered into, and looked at his sister showing her thumbs up, she shows thumbs to him too, giggling and smiling.

Gulf went closer, and slapped on Mew's butt, "I got you"

before Gulf could understand anything, he got pulled to opposite sides, Mew pinned him to the nearby study table biting on him harder, made Gulf's legs spread apart settling himself between the long legs pulling him closer throw his hips rubbing their groins together, his sister's eyes pop out, as her hand clasped over her mouth to suppress any squealing sound, she fidgeted a little, and then she saw Mew's hand traveling under Gulf's shirt okay it is enogh she ran away..

Gulf was tapping on Mew's shoulder, trying to tell his sister is on the door, by the time he left him, he huffed, "your sister is on the door"

"You can't distract me Gulfiee"

there was no one on the door, he went outside to check but there was no one, "see i told you don't try to be smarty pant Gulfie, now where we were, he hold on him swinging him along he was happy, his family has no issues with them....

they came down for lunch and sat quietly, his sister was not talking much, and Gulf was too kept his distance,  just smiling at her, Mew's feet, as usual, caging Gulf leg in between his...

they had a good time, and bid goodbyes to the family, everything was perfect,

His mother held his hand, "welcome to the family Gulf" he smiled back bowing a little thanking her...

They went to their car, his sister shouted at them,

"P'Gulf, you were right I see Piii is way more grumpier with you" and she winked at him, Gulf blushed and just waves his hand bidding goodbye,

Mew saw the exchange and he looked at Gulf in horror, "she saw us"

"I told you"

"How long does she??"

"I don't know"

"I told you to stop grinding" he put his seatbelt on, Mew hid his face in his hands...

"You are getting bolder Mew Mew"

"Shut up"

"Now come on, are you shy now"

"You mean embarrassed"

Gulf chuckles,

"She has already seen it in the video, we give her live show", "Nice, Right??" he winked at Mew

"That is not helping babe, not at all"

Gulf undone his seat belt faced Mew, and held his hand, kissing on his joined hands, smiling at him... "how about that"

"I was happy, they like you, and I..."

"I like them too"

"You do??"

"I do"

"And what about me"

"What about you??"

"Do you like me??"

Gulf smiled at him, Is it even a question if it would be some other day he would tease him, but at this moment, better not to,

"I love my pixie the most"

He kissed on Mew's droopy mouth multiple times until it curls up to a smile, Mew pulled him closer, kissing his cheeks and jaws..

"It is nice and all, but if we continue like this, we are gonna give another show babe"

Mew snapped out, and straighten his back, "Let's continue the show at home than"

Gulf chuckles and nods his head holding Mew's hand
