Leo was having a hard time concentrating at the lab.  It had been barely ten minutes and he had already made friends with almost half of the staff.
Not to mention, he was everywhere at the same time.

"You're really staring boss," said Amanda with the lip gloss. "Who is he to you anyway?"

"Someone I know," Leo said before bending his head to concentrate on his computer. An indication to Amanda that he didn't want to be disturbed. All the while trying to fill his head with other things.

Luckily, there was a firewall that he was trying to take down and it was being difficult. Just what he needed.

Soon, a hand was being waved right in front of him. "Hey! Time to eat, let's go," Brady said. Leo looked at his watch and indeed it was time but he was so close to taking down the firewall, so he went back to it.

"Just a minute," he said. It got uncomfortable when he realized Brady was staring at him the entire time. So he looked up. "I'm almost done Brady, just one last thing."

"Okay," Brady cleared his throat. "Yeah, of course."

Jesus how confusing could someone be.

The first thing Leo noticed was that Brady was a big eater, it was a wonder he was lean.
But he couldn't help but look at the way he ate his food, or the way his Adam's apple bobbed when he swallowed.

Suddenly he pictured Lisa, smiling as he fed her, then nipping at his finger, ahh, she was a naughty one.

Leo snapped out of his reverie to find Brady's intent eyes studying him. "There it is again, those eyes."

"What about my eyes?"

"They are so sad," He said and Leo was instantly taken aback. He wasn't expecting that, all his months of discretion and keeping hurt to himself blown up in an instant.

And just when he was beginning to hope, that maybe he'd guessed wrong and there was a slim chance that Brady was maybe interested in him, he'd been mocked by the universe yet again.

"So this is why you asked me out here? All because of pity. Besides I don't know what you're talking about."

"You're a bad liar," Brady shook his head while he said it.

Leo stood up to leave, and Brady followed him. "What's your address," he asked in his rush to get in the car.

"I don't understand why you are so upset, than can only mean it's true," Brady complained but still gave his address.

They got to Brady's place but none of them got out of the car. "Why do you deny it?" Brady asked.

"Thanks for the concern, but that's my personal life, don't interfere. All this is so weird."

"It's only weird that you get so worked up over it, I'm here, so like um...talk to me or something."

Leo got out of the car so fast that Brady couldn't think about what was happening.

In his haste to get out too, he found Leo already there, pushing him flush against the side of the car. He was caged and Leo's lips were just an inch from his. He tried not to focus on the growing erection pressed against his thigh.

"Would you like me to kiss you?"  Leo asked and suddenly the temperature climbed.

"I'm straight," he replied. His voice shaky for whatever reasons.

"That's what I thought. Don't show yourself to me again, because that's all you make me think of."

Leo got in his car and drove off. Brady was left standing, watching after the wheels, dumbfounded, hot and bothered.
