An American Homo in Paris

Revisiting under the Eiffel Tower

Zili straddled Benjie's backpack on one shoulder and couldn't help checking the time on his phone.He wondered too much what was going on in Benjie's apartment now.

Will they make up?But is it important?Didn't I often say that seducing others for a one-night stand before parting is the best way to get along?Shouldn't it all be joy without pain?So why the pain this time?Why is Benjy different?

Because this time it didn't start with seduction.

Sure, he's tempted - Benjy's hot - but really, it's Benjy's tears that draw him the most.He couldn't help but want to show him the city, show him off, and amuse him.And last night—and Ziri couldn't help thinking about that moment—Benjy refused to come home until he kissed him.

What now?

When Allen came home, he said sorry, what did that mean?

He looked at his phone again, it was already five past twelve.

"Little Zi!"

He jerked his head up and looked around.Saw Benji.

Benji walked towards him, smiling.He is laughing.

He stood up and ran towards Benji.

"Hey." Benjie held Zili's face in his hands, and touched Zili's with his lips.Now all his injuries and nervous fears are gone.It's Benjie.

The kiss continued, and someone around already whistled.Ziri was pretty sure he heard the camera shutter.He doesn't mind, he's holding his handsome American boy now.

Benjie left his lips, breathing heavily, "I still owe you two kisses. After you left, I said his name again."

Zili smiled, and bit Benjie's lower lip, "I will always remember."

“Videos of the two of us went viral. My editor at the newspaper back home said he would get me a job so I could stay here for a while and keep blogging, keep making videos, keep doing everything. .”

"Do you want to stay?"

Benjie looked up at the tower, his face full of undisguised desire.

"I want—I want to see. I want to continue to explore my relationship with this city, and other things." He took Ziri's hand and placed it on his chest, against his heart. "That's with you, if you want to. I know we haven't talked about it, and you thought I was leaving, and maybe you didn't want me to stay."

"I want you." It's true.It surprised Zili how easy it was to say that. "I want you to stay, and I—I want you too."

"I don't know where I'm going to live next, I'm—damn, I'm going to call my mom. It's getting complicated."

Ziri shook his head, "No, it's really not complicated. We'll work it out nicely. Now, I want those two kisses."
