The next afternoon Adrian was lying on his bed as he was tossing a ball in the air. He was trying to relax, waste time as he was very bored and all alone in the house. He had a lot of time to process the insanity which was Sam's family and their escape out of the country.

The night before, Brody called Adrian and updated him about the whole school status situation and Sam's alleged freedom. Learning that Sam actually managed to get away with everything he did, and flee the town with no repercussions sucked balls. It wasn't fair, and Adrian hated everything about it. There wasn't anything he could do, and the whole operation to arrest the family felt hopeless.

Adrian couldn't help but laugh at the situation, how it sounded completely ridiculous and damn right fictional. Saying it to himself out loud made it sound so crazy, "Pleading mental insanity and then being taken away during vehicle transfer, which was actually a ruse for hired professionals to whisk him away with his family and leave the country sounded like a Netflix show heist operation."

On the brighter side it was a relief that the school didn't get closed down. They never talked about it, but Brody moving to find another school was one of the outcomes that scared Adrian the most. He didn't want to lose Brody so soon, they were both happy and Adrian didn't want anything else to jeopardise their relationship.

Speaking of being happy, Adrian threw the ball across the room as he picked up his phone. Dialling the person that was making him happy right now, he waited for Brody to pick up the phone.

On the other side of town, Brody was finishing his last set at a home workout when he heard his phone ring. Wiping the sweat of his forehead, he quickly answered it as he smiled at seeing who was on the other end.

"Hey Adrian." Brody said calmly, as if he didn't just work up a sweat and was physically drained.

"Brody hey, you doing anything right now?"

Brody was already heading towards the bathroom as he carried a set of clean clothes and a towel with him. "I was just about to hop in the shower, are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine. With Adam going away with Ashley I'm just really bored right now. And my mom has gone to visit her dad so she will be away for the weekend."

Brody was now sitting on the toilet lid as he locked the bathroom door, wanting to finish talking to Adrian first.

"You want to stay at mine for the weekend? I mean the only reason I'm not with my mom right now is because I convinced her that you were already staying over." Adrian told him.

"Hmm, so are you asking me to stay and keep you company, or to keep you out of trouble for lying to your mom?"

"Both." Adrian replied flatly. "We both know you're going to come anyway, this is just the formal invitation, to be a gentlemen and all that."

Brody laughed wholeheartedly at that. "Maybe I already have plans for tonight. Golden boy over here has a lot of work he needs to do, and it would be best if he wasn't distracted by his very sexy and enticing boyfriend."

The side of Adrian's lips were raised into a small smile. Playing along with the little game, "Maybe that sexy and enticing boyfriend of yours can lure you over here."

"How?"

"Pretty please?" Adrian played it nice and polite, hoping the mild begging would help.

Pretending to take his time to weigh up his options, "Well now that you begged..." Brody heard Adrian quietly laugh to himself over the phone when he answered him. "Let me shower first and I'll be right over."

"Awesome, see you in a bit then." Adrian merrily said.

"See you soon."

~~~~~~~~~~

Carrying his essentials like some spare clothes and a toothbrush in his backpack, Brody let himself into Adrian's home as Adrian unlocked the door for him when he was close by.

Scouting that he wasn't downstairs, Brody made his way up the stairs and into Adrian's room.

Brody was welcomed by the sight of Adrian sitting in his chair as he dumped his bag on Adrian's bed. From behind the chair, Brody leaned over Adrian's shoulders and wrapped his arms around Adrian's chest, giving him a long drawn out kiss on his cheek.

"What you looking at?" Brody mumbled into Adrian's cheek.

Adrian let out a little giggle at Brody's sloppy kiss and then turned around to kiss Brody properly.

"Food. What do you want, Indian, Chinese, or Italian?"

Brody wasn't much of a fussy eater, he was willing to eat a lot of different food so he let Adrian choose instead. "Whatever you want, you know what I like anyway."

After Adrian decided on a Chinese, he picked out a lot of food from the menu to feed them both. Adrian managed to convinced a doubtful Brody that they could finish it all in one sitting, and Brody didn't know if that was meant to be a good thing or a bad thing. Paying for it online, the delivery time was 40 minutes when Adrian told Brody that they had a lot of time to spare.

"So, what do you want to do now? I definitely feel like making out with you right now." Brody smirked as he then sought out another kiss from Adrian, bracing himself on the chair's armrest as he leaned forward and kissed him.

Adrian pulled away from a needy Brody, who only pouted at the distance now between them. "I'm actually in a teeny little dilemma, and I can't really do it by myself."

"How can I help?" Brody asked genuinely.

Adrian scratched the back of his neck as he tried to not make the situation more awkward than it was going to be. "I really want a shower, and I was trying earlier but I couldn't fully turn my body to reach my back without it hurting a lot."

Brody was nodding along as Adrian was explaining everything. Coughing to try and cover the uncomfortableness over the favour, "Could you help, like, bathe me?"

Brody was smiling widely when he saw Adrian look away, a red tint forming on his cheeks from a mix between embarrassment and blush.

"So another reason for me to come round was to be your nurse? Do I at least get a costume when I scrub you down?"

Adrian punched him in the arm, then apologised when he realised he really did need Brody's help.

"To the bathroom then, we can probably finish your shower before the food arrives."

Agreeing with him, Adrian went to grab some clothes from his drawer when Brody began to warm the water up for his bath. Adrian put his clothes on the rail as Brody sat down on the toilet.

"Could you like, turn around for a minute?" Adrian asked Brody, in regards to stripping down as he looked at the clothes he was wearing.

"What, do I not get to see the show?" Brody joked as he sleazily leaned back on his arms.

Adrian laughed as he ordered Brody to face the wall. Brody complied as he then heard Adrian's clothes being tossed on the floor, with the zipper of his jeans going with it.

"Okay you can look back now."

When Brody turned around, his eyes landed on the exposed torso in front of him. Adrian was still firm and smooth in places, his chest and abs were still well defined as well. Below the wrapped bandages that covered half of his lower waist, Brody saw that Adrian still had his underwear on.

Brody pointed towards his underwear, which resulted in Adrian covering the front of it. "Umm, are you not going to take those off?"

Adrian was feeling shy at the attention to his private area. "I'm not going to be naked in the bath with you watching me, that'll just be more weird than me asking you to help bathe me."

Brody laughed at the irony of Adrian not wanting to be naked in front of him. "But Adrian, I've seen you naked before. We've even had our hands and mouths all over each other before, seeing your little buddy in the water won't phase me."

"It's not the same!" Adrian explained, "Those times were intimidate, and I really don't feel so sexy when I need your help to clean me."

Brody pointed out the fabric of Adrian's underwear, and how him bathing in his underwear wasn't productive. "I'm going to be able to see everything when your underwear becomes see through because of the water, at least there won't be a barrier when my eyes wander a little bit."

Adrian was silenced as he realised Brody was right.

"Would it help if I was naked too? I can climb in the bath if you want." Brody asked seriously, with a little seductive gesture behind it too.

"The bath won't be comfortable with us both in it, especially with this." Adrian pointed at his bandages that had to be very careful with not getting wet.

Focussing on the wrong thing, Brody smirked as he asked. "So you thought of us both naked in the bath before?"

Interrupting Brody's mind going elsewhere, Adrian finally agreed. "Fine! Let's just get this over with."

Brody shamelessly enjoyed the scene in front of him as his boyfriend completely stripped down in front of him. Once he was done, Brody helped Adrian get in the bathtub very carefully as Adrian started cleaning the dirt and grime of his body.

The scene was very intimate and delicate, with Adrian being graceful as he scrubbed every nook and cranny. Brody looked on as water droplets glistened all over his boyfriend's body.

The room was silent as the constant sound of water splashing was all that could be heard in the room.

After Adrian rinsed his hair with warm water and shampoo, he turned to Brody and handed him the bath loofah.

Brody took it in his hands as he gently scrubbed Adrian's back. Holding him in place, Brody made sure he was delicate with his touches as he made sure to clean every inch of Adrian.

Brody checked with Adrian, leaning over his shoulder to look at his reaction. "This okay for you?"

Adrian nodded. "Yeah, it is."

Brody continued being gentle with Adrian as he then ran some of the warm water down his whole body, cleaning him of the remaining soap and dirt.

Brody then indicated to Adrian's groin area, which was being covered by Adrian's hands and was out of Brody's view. "You alright with cleaning that yourself?"

Adrian turned to Brody and looked him in the eyes as he arched his eyebrows at him. "Maybe I want your help with that too."

"It'll be my pleasure."
