Kimmon's POV

I felt embarrassed to have to ask Copter to bring me a towel but it could not be helped.  When I heard him say, "here's your towel", I peeked out from behind the bathroom door and noticed that his eyes were red and his cheeks wet with tears.  He looked at my tear stricken face as well and both of us came to the same realization.  Were we crying for the same reason?

I grabbed his wrist and pulled him inside the bathroom.  I realized too late that I was still naked but that was the least of my worries right now.

He looked down and then looked away with red stained cheeks when his eyes landed on my proud manhood. I waited for him to say something but he remained quiet, his eyes staring at the bathroom door as if he was wondering how he could make his escape.

"Copter, look at me," I said finally. "I am not sure how you feel about me and I might end up getting hurt badly but I'm not afraid to tell you right now that I love you.  I just don't know when or how it all started but, there it is," with that I took his hand and placed his palm on my wildly beating heart.

He started to cry, his chest heaving with the sobs that he was making.

"Won't you say something, please, Copter?  Are you crying because you love me back or because you're sorry for me because you don't feel the same way?"

Copter's POV

I couldn't help breaking down in tears when P'Kim finally acknowledged that he loved me.  I had been so sure that he was either just playing or that what he was feeling was just sexual desire.  When he took my hand and placed my palm on his chest, I broke down helplessly.

"Are you crying because you love me back or because you're sorry for me because you don't feel the same way?" he asked.

There was a giant lump in my throat so all I could do was nod my head.

"You're nodding to which question???" he cried in frustration, pulling at his hair.

"Because I love you back!" I finally managed to say.

His eyes widened and he broke out into a happy smile.  He bent down and lightly brought his lips to mine.  I tiptoed to deepen the kiss when BANG! BANG! BANG! our front door sounded.

P'Kim grabbed his towel and tied it around his waist as I ran quickly to open the door.

Bas stumbled in and shut the door and locked it.  What the hell?

A split second later, BANG! BANG! BANG! "Bas! Open this door right now! I saw you come in through this door!  Open it right this second!"

I opened the door.  Bas made a move to run to the bathroom but P'Godt was too fast for him.  He scooped him up and walked out the door.

I made a move to follow them but P'Kim stopped me.  "Leave them to sort it among themselves. We have an unfinished business ahead of us."
