WHO: Henry Claus, Armaan Khatri, Avery Duffield WHEN: Sunday afternoon WHERE: Avery and Armaan's apartment WHAT: Walk of shame WARNINGS: Talk of sex but no smut
Henry had tried to convince himself that going out to a bar wasn't just because he was horny and it wasn't strictly about hooking up with a random. It was getting back out there and spending some time outside the apartment and maybe making new friends. It was about trying to live his life still. Except that he went to a gay club, and he very obviously spent most of it on the dance floor, dancing with anyone who even looked at him for half a second.
Two drinks in, enough to have a nice buzz but not enough to be wasted because he couldn't get that 'how could you put yourself in that dangerous position' conversation he had had with Iestyn out of his head, Henry had fallen into a nice conversation with a very attractive man. They had chatted and danced, edging closer and closer until they were grinding up against each other and the man had whispered in his ear, 'you want to get out of here?'
Yes. Yes, Henry did want to get out of there, and he did want to go home with someone, and if it couldn't be with the man he loved, it might as well be with a very attractive man who told him in the Uber on the way to his apartment, that his name was Armaan.
Of course what had seemed like a good idea in the dark of the club, two drinks in and horny as all fuck, seemed like a bad one in the light of day. Henry woke up before Armaan did (though it was hardly morning), satisfied but horrified at himself. How could he had slept with someone while he loved Iestyn so much?
Twice?!
Henry slid out of the bed, trying not to disturb the mattress as much as he could. He found his clothes and pulled them on, tip-toeing out of the bedroom and to the bathroom. Once he had relieved himself and freshened up, Henry stepped back out of the bathroom and towards the front door of the apartment, but that is when his eyes fell on the person in the kitchen. Oh god, it was Avery. And Avery had seen him.
