The longing B. feels for his parents makes him dislike his birthday, but he would give the benefit of the doubt to his boyfriend, but what he doesn't know is that it will be the day Ben will remember the most.
As soon as B. arrived home, Alan was still getting ready, as the party was going to be a masquerade costume party, and he walked into the bedroom to find Al, his love, having his make-up done.
- "Hi, love," Alan said as soon as he saw Benjamin at the door.
Alan was wearing a mummy costume, showing off his defined muscles. Yes, he was a teacher, but that didn't mean he was careless with his health.
People usually think of a teacher as short, bald and fat, this stereotype had been reinforced for years, but Alan was there to change it, he wasn't fat and he wasn't bald,
B. was eating her boyfriend up with her eyes, Al was really enjoying the fantasy.
- Being a mummy suits you, love - Ben pauses, takes a deep breath, removes a lock of his hair from in front of his eyes with his left hand - What's my costume going to be?
- You're going to wear the costume I've chosen - Alan says confidently that he's made a good choice - But it's a surprise.
- All right, love! - B. says, giving Alan a kiss and heading for the bathroom, already taking off his shirt, leaving his muscles showing.
Now it was Al's turn to eat him up with his eyes, making him horny.
- Did you manage to solve what you had to do? - The teacher asked, shouting to override the noise of the shower.
- Yes, love. I managed to solve it
- And what did you solve? - Alan can't help but be curious and asks, but he regrets it as soon as he closes his mouth.
"How stupid of me! If he'd wanted to tell me, he would have. No?!" Alan thought indignantly to himself.
- When I get out of the shower I'll tell you, love.
"Okay, what the fuck have I done?" Al thought angrily, surely he could put a stop to it.
Fear seized the teacher, along with the anxiety of knowing what B. was going to tell him that was so important that it couldn't be said like that, that it had to be answered face to face.
The fear that this caused Alan was inestimable; he was so anxious that he paced from one side of the room to the other without stopping for a second.
- Love, I've made you anxious - Benjamin says as soon as he comes out of the bathroom, adjusting the towel around his waist, the drops of water running down his body making Al's mouth water, he was so distracted that he didn't pay attention to what his boyfriend said.
- What did you say?
- That I made you anxious.
- And worried...
Alan explains how he felt about the situation
- Al, what do you think I have to say to you?
- I don't know - Alan replies restlessly.
- Do you want to know what I did today? - Ben sits on the edge of the bed, making the mattress sink slightly with his weight. The teacher nods in agreement. B continues - I went to see my parents.
- Why didn't you take me?
Benjamin frowns.
- I wish I'd met them.
Al sees B.'s eyes fill with tears as he understands that his parents are no longer with us.
Already dressed in his costume, in front of the mirror, he couldn't believe Alan had pulled this stunt on him.
"Why do I love this creature?" thought Ben, still not believing in the costume Al had bought for him.
- Let me see, love
- I'm not leaving here with that thing.
- Stop being grumpy. It's just a fantasy
- Of a prince, you forgot to mention.
- It's just a detail
- A big detail.
- Stop making a fuss. You forgot that you're my prince. The one who pulled me out of the endless pit.
- If you look at it that way, you're more of a prince than I am.
- But you'll look better as a prince.
- Why? - He asked, curious to know what Al would come up with to get him out of where he was.
- Because you'll be my prince.
"What does he have to say to convince me to go down to the party with him?" Benjamin thought, laughing internally.
Alan was sitting on the bed waiting for B. to come out of the bathroom, even though he told him that his boyfriend was beautiful and would be his prince, Ben didn't want to leave the bathroom even if he prayed hard.
The teacher no longer knew what to do to convince his boyfriend, almost fiancé, and future husband to wear the costume he had bought for him.
- If you wear it, it'll make me happy - he pauses, takes a deep breath and then continues - Today I wanted you to be my prince.
As soon as he heard this, B. came out of the bathroom, hugging Alan, who got up as soon as he heard the door latch open.
- If that's the case, I'll make your wish come true," Ben said between kisses on Alan's neck.
