Chapter Four
Lauri spent the next few days trying to avoid Aki as much as possible. Which was easier said than done as he seemed to have acquired an Aki shaped shadow.
Memories of that night haunted him, the sounds Aki had made drifting through his mind like a phantom. His imagination seemed to have gone into overdrive; every gesture Aki made suddenly had a double meaning. Each time he saw him, he found himself either blushing like an idiot or wanting to jump him.
Early evening found Lauri propping up the hotel bar, staring into his third beer as if it held the answers to all his problems. Maybe it did, he mused, if he got drunk enough perhaps he’d wake up in the morning and discover this had all been a very weird dream.
Shaking his head, he picked up the pint and smiled bitterly. Unrequited love was a bitch he thought as he took a large gulp of the golden liquid. He nearly choked on his mouthful as a voice spoke behind him.
‘There you are, I’ve been looking for you.’
Aki helpfully pounded a spluttering Lauri on the back before taking the stool beside him.
‘So what are you doing?’
‘I’m trying to get drunk. Why were you looking for me?’
Aki leaned back against the bar and stretched out his legs. He shrugged.
‘I had nothing better to do, Pauli is working on something and Eero is meditating. Thought I’d come and bug you for a bit.’
Lauri snorted and took another drink. Aki put his hand over his heart with mock hurt and pulled a face.
‘You wound me, you know you love me really.’
Lauri choked on his drink again, face flushing at Aki’s words.
Aki raised his eyebrows at Lauri’s reaction and grinned suddenly.
‘I knew it!’
Lauri thumped the glass down on the bar and turned to face Aki, meeting his laughing gaze with a frown.
‘Knew what?’
‘You really do love me, babe I’m so happy.’
Aki leapt from the stool and threw his arms around his stunned friend in an exaggerated gesture. Lauri tried to push him away, becoming more desperate as he noticed his body’s traitorous reaction.
‘Get off me, you ass.’
‘Aw no, I want a snog from my honey first.’
Aki puckered up and blew mock kisses towards Lauri, managing to buss him on the cheek before he was shoved away.
‘Sweetheart, there’s no point playing hard to get, I know you want me.’
Aki grinned and waggled his brows at the flustered man before him.
Lauri jumped up from his seat and scowled at his annoying friend.
‘In your dreams mate!’
Realising what he’d just said, Lauri’s eyes widened and he turned, almost running from the bar. He heard Aki call out behind him.
‘Awww come on Lintu, you know I was only joking’
Lauri hit the door to the restroom at a run, flinging it back against the wall with a thump. He rushed to a stall and locked the door behind him, thumping his head against the cool wood and muttering to himself.
‘Jesus Ylonen, what the hell is the matter with you. He was joking, just a joke! And you had to act like a girl with her first crush. Gah!’
Lauri thumped his head against the door again, attempting to knock some sense into himself.
‘Ok, you can do this, calm down and be cool. Go back out there and pretend it never happened. Yeah! I can do that.’
He pushed himself away from the door and disengaged the lock. Walking from the stall he caught sight of himself in the mirror. He stared himself in the eye and nodded. Yeah, cool.
Reaching for the door, he pulled it open and stepped through.
Only to rush back in and slam the door shut again as he saw Aki heading round the corner towards him. Swiftly making his way back to the stall he once again engaged the lock and leaned against the door.
‘This is ridiculous; I have to face him sometime. Can’t stay hidden in here for the rest of my life – wonder if they’d do room service?’
Realising he hadn’t heard the outer door open; Lauri cautiously unlocked the door and peered out. Nothing. So far, so good.
He quietly walked to the exit and pulled it open a little, peeking through the gap. There was no sign of Aki. Lauri heaved a sigh and left the restroom, deciding to head back to his room and finish calming down before he was discovered. Maybe he should have Eero teach him to meditate.
Walking down the corridor towards the elevator, he looked behind him to make sure the way was clear. Stopping suddenly as he bumped into something in front of him. He yelped and jumped back, ready to apologise. Then he noticed who it was.
Aki grinned and gestured to the room he had just left.
‘Took a wrong turn, but look what I found.’
He brandished a couple of six-packs under Lauri’s nose.
‘I’m sorry I teased you, peace offering?’
He looked hopefully at Lauri, who stood there gaping at him. Shaking himself out of his daze, Lauri took one of the pilfered packs. He laughed nervously.
‘Sure, no problem. Just a joke right?’
Aki nodded.
‘Yeah. Come on, lets get these back to the room before we’re spotted.’
Lauri nodded and smiled back. Yeah, he could do cool – and if that didn’t work, he had enough beer now to get plastered. Either way was good. He followed Aki to the elevators, popping a can open on the way back to their room.
