Afternoon sun blazed down on Taeyong as he followed Ten along a worn, rubble road up into the hills around Mykonos.

Until now, Ten had shown Taeyong, Mark and Johnny all around the small yet stunning town. Just wandering through the streets was great. All the buildings were that classic white style with bright blue or red doors and railings that Taeyong had seen in photos on the internet.

They had walked past two men who were busy repainting the wall of a building, so it was perfectly white just like all the others. Even the roads and pathways, which snaked around in a maze were grey and white cobblestones. Where they weren't, someone had painted white lines to look like grout to match the aesthetic of the pretty town.

To Taeyong's enjoyment they had also seen plenty of street cats sleeping in the sun. They even saw a pink pelican that a little kid was chasing around the streets, clapping enthusiastically as the pelican squeaked in annoyance at him.

After following Ten through the winding streets they had reached a hill near the coast with four small windmills at the top. Mark had bounded up the steps and got Johnny to take photos while he posed in front of the round white buildings with their straw roofs and stick-like windmills.

Then Johnny had started moaning about the heat, and Ten had led them down to the beach. Both Mark and Johnny had thrown off their shirts and bounded into the sea. Mark had forgotten to take his hat off but Johnny had managed to rescue it before it floated out to sea.

Ten and Taeyong had stayed in the shallows, enjoying the cool water, how it splashed up their legs and their feet sunk into the stony sand as gentle waves washed up on the shore.

Ten had grabbed Taeyong's hand and yelled out to Mark and Johnny that they were heading up the hill to see Boni's windmill.

"Shouldn't we wait for them?" Taeyong had asked as Ten began leading him back into town and away from the beach, his fingers entwined with his.

Ten just smiled. "Don't worry, it's easy enough to find. Besides, I have somewhere else in mind before we go there."

"And what's that?" Taeyong asked as he stared down at their hands clasped together.

Ten flicked a finger under Taeyong's jaw, so he was looking him in the eye. "That's a surprise." he said with a wink. That made Taeyong flush red and earned a satisfied smile from Ten.

Presently, Taeyong was staring at Ten's back as he followed him up the gravel road. Ten's t-shirt was sticking to his back with sweat, just like his own was. It must have been about 34 degrees, and they had been walking for about twenty minutes. It was tiring and the loose gravel road made for difficult navigation up the hill, as Taeyong's sneakers kept slipping on tiny pebbles and rocks.

Taeyong was about to ask Ten if they were nearly there, where ever it was Ten wanted to take him, until Ten stopped abruptly, causing Taeyong to bump into him from behind. He slipped on the stony road again and latched onto Ten's arm to steady himself.

"Sorry-" Taeyong began but Ten held a finger to his lips then slowly went down into a crouch, signalling for Taeyong to follow suit.

A little puzzled, Taeyong did the same, crouching down next to him. He let go of Ten's arm but this close Taeyong could feel the heat radiating off of Ten's tan skin.

"Look." Ten whispered. He was pointing to something brown on the ground just ahead of them. At first it looked just like rubble and stones, but as Taeyong peered intently at it he saw a flicker of movement, a small scaled body, and a tail.

"It's a lizard!" Taeyong breathed, stunned that they had just stumbled upon one in the middle of the road. He inched forward on his toes and slowly pulled out his phone, his sneakers scraping along stones. The lizard scattered at the noise and sprinted away into some bushes. "Damn." Taeyong sighed, missing his chance to catch a picture of it.

Ten stood up, holding a hand out to help Taeyong up. "It's alright, we'll see another one, those lizards love the sun. We're here by the way."

He walked over to a tall, white plaster fence with a blue steel gate, pulled out a key from under a nearby rock, and swung open the gate with his arms wide. "Tada! Welcome to my secret spot." He grinned.

Taeyong followed him through the gate and into the large courtyard of a house. It was the same style as all the other buildings in Mykonos, only this one was obviously newer; the whites whiter and the architecture slightly more modern, more straight lines than the natural curves that the older buildings were famous for. To the right, the courtyard flowed through to a deck with a huge built in pool covered by an awning to shelter it from the sun.

"A lovely Greek lady who owns a flower shop in town owns this place. She lets me use her pool whenever I'm in Mykonos. Great huh?" Ten said as he strode towards the pool.

He slid off his sneakers, pulled his shirt off and smiled over his shoulder at Taeyong before dive bombing into the water. He surfaced with a grin, wiping his hair off his face. "Come on in Taeyong!"

Taeyong slipped off his sneakers next to Ten's and slowly pulled off his t-shirt, careful not to show his back to Ten. He went and sat down on the edge of the pool and cautiously dipped his legs into the water.

Ten swam over and stood in front of him, a smile pulling on his lips. The water came up to just below his shoulders. "You don't have to hide them from me Taeyong." He said.

"What? I-" Taeyong fumbled with his words before Ten grabbed his arm and yanked him into the water. As Taeyong hit the cool water he felt Ten's arms reach around him, pulling him close. Before he could process what was happening Ten's lips fell on his.

Ten's soft lips moved against his, a delicious sensation that made Taeyong's heart almost explode in his chest. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the flesh on flesh contact, eagerly kissing back. At that moment nothing else mattered except Ten. His body, his lips, his taste.

Ten pulled back to breathe, allowing Taeyong's mind to start processing what was happening. Ten had come and had drinks with him last, when Taeyong was already drunk, and then he had woken up with hickeys on him the next morning. So it had been Ten? Taeyong had been so sure that Ten wouldn't like him like that but as he stared into Ten's eyes he saw deep desire in them and his heart hummed.

"You didn't think it was me did you?" Ten whispered in his ear. His hands were tracing up and down Taeyong's body, sending shivers through him.

"N-no." Taeyong stuttered.

"I was trying to hold back, but when I saw you stumbling about trying to find your way back to your room... you were just so cute." Ten planted kisses down Taeyong's neck as he spoke. "I know it was wrong to give you more alcohol, but you looked like you were still trying to hold back your feelings."

Ten's hands travelled up Taeyong's back and curled in his wet hair. He nibbled lightly on Taeyong's bottom lip and Taeyong tightened his grip on him, feeling as though he was going to melt with Ten's touch.

"I know how you feel about me. I've seen the way you look at me and I want you. I want nobody but you." Ten purred, his lips against Taeyong's.
