The whole pavement was packed with people filing out of the stadium, they were all engaged in one conversation or another, each one discussing about the game.

Nate had his hands shoved inside his pocket as he walked side by side with Spade, both of them caught deep in the silence, although there was talking and bustling beside them, all Nate could focus on was the man walking beside him.

"Did you enjoy the game" Spade asked his eyes moving to look at Nate, he had his head down as he nodded

"Yea, it was fun and okay" he whispered out making Spade to smile out as he turned his attention back to the many people walking on the pavement heading for their cars, while some walked to the sidewalk.

It was already getting dark out, the time was now 6:00pm Nate looked up at Spade and he could see the slight upward tilt in his lips, he was feeling much more relaxed with him than when they just came

"How did you get front row tickets"? Nate finally asked watching as Spade's steps slowed down as he turned to face Nate. He shrugged as if it was a normal thing to get front row tickets a few minutes before a game starts

"I guess I'm good with persuading people" he muttered his lips gently pulling up in half a smile "and maybe my good looks" he added with a smug look, he looked and acted different from when they just came, it felt like he was not the same person, like he was free

Nate's lips formed an 'o' as his cheeks heated up, forming a dark shade of red, he quickly lowered his head to hide the blush, and this made Spade to only smile more. He still wanted to talk to Nate and he could see the young man was far more relaxed than before. He was contemplating waiting until they arrived at his apartment or maybe he should just do the talking here, waiting that long might actually bring Nate's nerves back and everything will be awkward again.

But then again he didn't even know what he was going to say to him. They stopped in front of his car as he clicked it open, hearing the beep sound.

He watched Nate go into the car, before he got in himself. Shutting the door, they shut all the noise outside, making the car go completely silent. He looked at Nate and the young man wasn't looking at him, instead he was looking at his hands on his laps as he played with them. He cleared his throat, making Nate to look at him, he decided this was the best time to talk to Nate, if he wanted to get somewhere with him. "I know I said I wanted to take you somewhere quiet so we could talk, but then I brought you here, I know you weren't expecting it and it's okay if you don't like...." Spade was rambling when Nate's voice stopped him

"No, no it's fine, I liked it, I had fun" Nate was quick to correct him "I mean even though I don't know anything about rugby" he mumbled with a light chuckle, it wasn't much of anything but it made Spade's heart to leap with satisfaction "you made it interesting" he whispered, his brown orbs shinning as he spoke, drawing Spade in the more

He let out a deep breath "I said I wanted a new start with you and I meant it, I was wrong about you, I thought you were a threat and...." He paused a faraway look in his eyes before he snapped back to reality, letting his eyes rest on Nate who was looking at him with complete and uninterrupted attention "I'm never wrong about anyone but I was wrong about you, and I hope you can give me a second chance, let's start over" he whispered huskily, making Nate to swallow, that word start over was ringing so many bells in his head, he wanted to know what Spade meant by starting over

"Start over as..." He trailed

"As friends of course" Spade rushed out, chuckling nervously at the end and Nate just nodded, feeling a little disappointed.

"Sure, I can do that" he mumbled.

Spade felt himself relax as his shoulders eased themselves, he'd been holding his breath all day because of this, dreading the possibility that Nate might actually say no to him. "I don't usually keep friends because I don't need them, you're my first"

Nate turned to look at him, feeling the surprise cloud his other senses as he tried to make sense of what Spade just told him, but what about Matteo, the blonde that always referred to Spade as his friend

"But what about..." Spade cut him off

"Who? Matteo? Matteo's not my friend" he muttered wanting to say something else but he clamped his mouth shut, letting out a deep breath he looked back at Nate "shall we"?

Nate just nodded slowly, he clicked his seatbelt on and Spade turned on the engine of the car before slowly driving out of the pavement of the building.

Spade could still feel Nate's eyes on him, probably because of what he just said about Matteo, he knew the blonde would never shut up to anyone who cared to listen about how they were friends

When in fact they weren't friends, he didn't consider Matteo his friend, he was much more than that, calling him a friend would be like undermining him.

Nate was somehow relaxed in the car as he looked out the car, the drive wasn't awkward like when they were driving to the stadium earlier that evening. Although a little tension was still floating through the air but it wasn't as thick as before.

His mind drifted to how the evening went as he watched the city move by as they drove away from the deep ends of the city, cars passing by and street lights after street light moving along with their car as if the street lights themselves were moving.

He let out a deep breath reminiscing on the side of Spade he'd seen tonight, when he met him weeks ago, if someone had told him Spade had this part of him, Nate would have laughed at their faces, but for the past week, the man had been surprising him, showing him a whole new different Spade.

His mind drifted again towards the events of the previous night, itching him to ask Spade what had happened, he needed to know if his father had set him up to go there on purpose so he'd get killed, it was something his father was capable of.

He fiddled with his fingers as he kept diving deep into thoughts, different ones, but all coming back to the man beside him.

He felt the car slow down as he could recognize the familiar houses and buildings, he let out a deep sight, cutting short his little mind traveling.

Spade stopped the car taking his hands away from the steering, he turned to look at Nate, yes he'd talked to him but he didn't know if he made progress or not, since they drove out of the stadium, Nate hadn't said anything to him, he just kept his attention on outside the car as if there was something interesting there that he was looking at.

He clicked open his seatbelt, watching as Nate did the same, he was the first to step out of the car and then Spade followed suit, watching as Nate walked over from the other side. Nate stopped in front of him, he took two steps closer to him, towering over his small frame as Nate had his head down, Spade could see the way his hair formed in the middle, creating a small spiral there, his hands itched to ruffle it, make it scattered from the way it originally looked. "I had fun tonight" his deep voice rumbled, sending sweet shivers and cold chills down Nate's spine, he looked up, his eyes shimmering and looking so innocent and somehow calling out to Spade, as if begging for something, he wanted nothing more than to give in to the innocence of those honey brown eyes, he wanted to fulfill every desire his body was filled with at the moment, he wanted those eyes to look at no one except him, the vulnerability in them was making him ache with desire and lust. He swallowed hard

"Me too" Nate whispered, his cheeks tinting deep red, he was flustered and that only increased the deep hunger Spade was feeling at the moment, his dick was jumping with excitement like a kid that was being taken to a candy store for his birthday

Neither of them was ready to break eye contact, Spade's grey orbs was filled with lust, want, desire and a deep ache to pull Nate closer to him, basking in his sweet scent as he ravished those pink lips, while Nate's was filled with innocence, doubt and excitement, his whole body coursed with it, with eagerness and tenderness.

Spade didn't want to spoil the moment but he had to ask, at least to know where he stood with Nate, after hearing him say he had fun with him, he kind of felt elevated, it was like closing a contract with a very strong and stubborn client.

"What about my offer"? His husky voice seemed to bring Nate out of the trance he was in while staring at Spade's eyes. "About coming to work for me"? He pressed, his eyes momentarily moving to Nate's, pink and very pouty and inviting lips.

He swallowed, still looking up at Spade's eyes, he opened his mouth to speak but the closed it back, he didn't know what to tell him. Not that he didn't wanna work with Spade but he still had one problem holding him back, actually two problems. One his father and two he didn't know if he was cut out for the kind of things Spade did

He didn't know how to word it to Spade, talking to Spade when he wasn't angry or curious was much harder than he thought. Spade could see the conflicted look in his eyes, the way he kept opening and closing his mouth at intervals "You don't have to feel obliged to come work for me if you don't want to"

He quickly shook his head "It's not that I don't wanna work for you but..." He paused thinking again "what about my father"? He asked with a deep sigh and Spade only intensified his gaze on him, making him squirm under it, he felt as if looking up at Spade, the man could see everything from up there, even down to his thoughts, even the dirty ones he thought of that he didn't ever think he could possibly be thinking of them for someone.

"What about him"? He whispered huskily making Nate go all hot, he could feel sweat forming inside his hoodie covered body, even his forehead was sweating, if it wasn't dark out Spade would probably have seen it already.

"I don't know if he'll want me to work for you" he mumbled looking down his eyes landing on Spade's Nike shoes, he looked back up again

"You don't have to tell him"

Nate's eyes widened in surprise as he was already imagining what his father would do if he went behind his back to do something as outrageous as working for Spade, the man already hated him and was looking for opportunities to kill him, doing something behind his back would be Nate sentencing himself to death by his father's hand

"You want me to work for you behind my father's back"? he almost choked out, his voice coming out louder than the occasional mumbles and whisper he'd been doing all night

Spade just blinked very slowly before he nodded his head

"But what about the company? What am I gonna tell him? Besides I don't even know what I'll be doing for you"? Nate rushed out, making Spade to almost chuckle out at how flustered he looked and sounded, his pale face was shinning under the street lights and he could see the tint of red on his cheek as he asked so many questions at once.

"You don't have to leave his company if you don't want to, and like I said he doesn't have to know" Spade explained softly "And about what you'll do for me, we'll talk about it after you've agreed" he muttered as Nate stared at him, a million questions already being asked in his head as his eyes swirled with questions and curiosity "Don't worry, I won't ask you to do something hard, just some paperwork" he whispered.

Nate let out a deep sigh "So, will you work for me"? He asked, his grey eyes holding so much expectancy in them for Nate, as if everything he did now depended on what Nate would say, Nate didn't feel pressured at all, instead he was a bit pleased with the fact that Spade of all people was reliant on a single answer he was about to give, he could see the eagerness in his eyes, the way they were talking to him, as if pleading silently for him to answer positively.

He brushed his tongue against his lips tenderly, wetting it and making the pink to turn a shade lighter under the night street lights

"Okay" he let out and he saw the elevated look in Spade's eyes, and he didn't miss the way his shoulders released themselves and if he heard correctly Spade let out a sigh of relief His grey eyes lit up, and shone bright as he could almost see through them, it was like Spade's eyes were the mirror to the way he was feeling right now

"Really"? He asked and Nate just nodded. Spade could feel his whole body rage with excitement, he was trying to keep it in, hence his lack of emotions but deep down he was dancing inside his head, because this was a step closer to getting close to Nate, to getting to know him. He wanted nothing more than to dance right then and there in excitement but he just held it together. "That's great" he told him "can I have your phone"? He asked and Nate just stared at him with raised brows "so I can give you my number, maybe I'll call you Monday so we can discuss about what you'll be doing for me and the hours that are comfortable for you to come in" he explained and Nate just nodded in understanding before pulling out his phone from his back pocket and handing it to Spade

Their fingers brushed, Spade's callous and semi rough ones touching Nate's soft, tender and slim ones, he sucked in a breath as he quickly pulled his hands away from Spade's, looking away, feeling the way his body grew rigid with tension.

Spade had his eyes on Nate, with his hand and phone midair, Sparks, that was what he felt when their fingers brushed just now, like electricity coursing through his whole body, but Nate didn't wait for him to relish in the sweet feeling before pulling his hands away as if Spade's touch burnt him.

He clenched his jaw as he quickly typed his number into the phone saving it with his name, before handing it back to Nate, this time making sure to keep his fingers at a safe distance, he didn't know if his touch made Nate uncomfortable, he didn't wanna make him uncomfortable for any reason

Nate took the phone gently as he stared at the number Spade just saved on his phone He looked up at him, and Spade almost got lost in them, feeling the slight twitch of his fingers and the ache between his legs, he wanted nothing more than to pull Nate in by his sweater and tasting those beautiful, cute and inviting lips.

He felt his throat run dry as he suddenly licked his own lips. He could sense that now was the time to say goodnight but he didn't want to. "You should go in, it's late" he made a gesture towards the door and Nate just nodded wordlessly

"Yeah" he cleared his throat "yeah I should, goodnight" he whispered the last part out and spade just nodded, bitting his inner cheek.

"Good night" he muttered back huskily, his eyes resting on Nate's lips as he kept biting and chewing on it. Fuck it was messing with Spade's mind, every self restraint and control he'd been trying to maintain was slowly fading away, he clenched his fists beside him, grounding his teeth to stop him from doing what his mind was screaming at him to do.

Nate turned around and walked towards the apartment building, Spade watched his back until he got in, without looking back again. He let out a deep breath. That went way better than he expected. He opened his car door and stepped inside before driving away in the dark of the night.

I also genuinely thought they'd kiss here 😩😩

No I'm just kidding, I knew they wouldn't kiss 😜😜
