Likar had a pretty horrible upbringing. Rejected by almost everyone, he had been abandoned and had been bumping from street corner to street corner. Box to box. He was 14 when the tall Jesian man saw him. He remembered that day. He had settled for a alleyway that night, and found a box he could barely fit in. He was sobbing. He had no food for 2 days now. He had been chased away by police when he tried panhandling. Jobs were few. His pennies and change were even fewer. Then he saw the man. Much taller then him. Likar freaked out, thinking it was a gang member or were gonna mug him or a police officer who would throw him out. The man looked at the child below him, and picked him up. Likar tried to break free, but he felt like a fly and a spider. He mumbled his prayers, knowing that this man may be the last man he ever saw. Instead, to his surprise, the man brough him to his apartment, gave him some green tea and a cookie. He finally said that his name was "Supremo Jesia" but that he can call him "just Jesia." if he wanted. That name stuck.

He had been living with him for 4 years now. He was seen a roommate, not any lower but not any higher. He would run errands for Jesia and do the dirty work in the house in return for a place to stay and eat. But ever since that day, he had feelings for Jesia. Each time he made a move though, Jesia always either turned away. He had tried to kiss Jesia multiple times. But each time, he either kissed the wall, a window, and almost kissed Odinburgh once. But tonight, was the night. Just a peck on the cheek. Just a singular peck. Likar had invited Jesia to the balcony of the apartment that night. It had a little chair Jesia would almost always sit on, and Likar would usually stand up, looking at the sidewalk below them. Likar went to the balcony. Jesia was already there, sitting down, enjoying the stars.

"Salam alikaum Jesia." Likar,
"Sup' my brotha." Jesia mumbled, seeming to be preoccupied with the starry night. He had a soda in hand, sipping it every few seconds.

Likar sat on the chair right next to Jesia.

"Man..thanks for everything you do for me." Likar mumbled under his breath, feeling embarrassed to say it out loud.
"You clean my dishes and run all my filthy errands, if anything I should be thanking you. But, your thank you is greatly appreciated." said Jesia, averting his attention to Likar. To this statement, Likar gained a light blush.
"Dude, at age 19 you picked off a random brown kid off the street and took him into your house. I owe you." Likar said, saying it a bit louder this time. And then, like that, he gave a peck on the cheek to Jesia.
"W-W-Wh-What?" Jesia said, partially recoiling at the kiss. Likar went as red as a mushroom.
"L-L-Look..I-I-I needed t-t-to g-g-get that o-out of the system." Likar said, Jesia put his hand on his shoulder.
"L-Look Likar..I l-l-like you to. I-I-I...I w-w-want to move it slow i-if we get into a relationship." Jesia said, his voice low and motherly. Likar nodded.
"C-C-Can we k-kiss...one m-m-more time?" Likar said, feeling embarrassed to ask. Jesia gave a very light nod, and like that, Likar's chapped lips met Jesia's smooth skin.
