Name: Rex
Age: 29
Appearance: black hair with dark frames hiding his baby blue eyes, which was usually said to be juvenile and too naive looking. That was why he wanted to hide them - a banker needed to be convincing to have his clients buying his ideas and products. 

Rex was drenched. There was a hurricane hitting and he had hoped he could return to home from a quick visit to his parents before it hit in full force - too bad he miscalculated again. That and also his mother's insistence in stuffing every possible daily consumables, including food, snacks, even towels and detergents to him. His.mother was still convinced her son was still a child unable to take care of his things.

Rex was desperately searching for shops that were still open, and the neon light in front of the video shop was indeed a life saving sign. The downpour was so huge he could barely see through his windscreen. He parked as close to the door as possible and rushed inside, triggering the bell.

Name: Florian
Age: 23
Appearance: Tall and strong, with a strong jawline, short and wavy brown hair and green eyes. His body had a muscular structure, except for his huge belly, due to being almost full term pregnant with triplets. 

"Shit" Florian thought as he looked through the window and saw the wind blowing like never before. He rubbed his belly, wishing he could be home. His boss had told him to stay in the shop, because the hurricane wouldn't hit the place and they needed someone there in case someone came in.

No one had came inside, however, just as Florian had thought would happen, but what could he do? He needed that job. He groaned as he felt a sharp pain on his belly. He had already been feeling those pains since the day before, but was hoping it was nothing to worry about. He wanted to have his babies in the hospital, not on his workplace.

Suddenly, he heard the bell ringing and looked up to see who was the crazy person to come into that videoshop in the middle of a freaking hurricane. He saw a black haired man with piercing blue eyes, looking relieved.

"Good evening, sir" Florian said, smiling politely as it was his duty "how can I help you?"

[bhdire8]

Rex returned the smile and approached the salesperson. "Hi, well, I just come in coz the hurricane.... yea. This shop is about the only shelter that i could find around. I am actually surprised you are still opened." The table in front had hid Florian's body well, so he didn't notice his condition.

Rex shook his head and ruffled his hair attempting to dry it up a bit. "I, er, think we would be trapped here for awhile.. in this condition." He said pointing outside. "You got a bathroom here? I think I could tidy up myself a little.... " He said apologetically. He knew in shops like this, the only toilet available would probably be the one reserved for staff. He approached the counter and extended his hand. "I am Rex by the way, and you are...." He searched through the salesperson's chest and couldn't find any nametags, but did noticed his chest appeared to be rather bloated. He shrugged it off thinking this guy must work out a lot.

[tjopj44]

"Yeah, my boss said it was safe to be here and didn't want me to close the store" Florian said "But i'm glad now that he didn't, or you wouldn't have anywhere else to go"

"Sure you can use it, let me just take the keys and i'll take you there" Florian said, opening the drawer and searching for the bathroom keys, finding them after a while. He looked up and shook the man's hand "Oh, my name is Florian. Nice to meet you, Rex" he said with a smile. He then stood up and walked away from the desk, which revealed his large middle, and gestured for Rex to follow him. He took the man to the last aisle and pointed at a door before giving Rex the keys "There is the bathroom, you can take your time in there, just remember to lock the door after you leave" he asked.

(sorry for the late, i was logging in my computer)

[bhdire8]

(Aww it's alright... though yea i had been stalking on your status i would admit that bit xD)

"Hmm your boss is, i don't know whether to say he's harsh or he's kind aksing you to keep the store open." Rex commented and scratched the back of his neck. He oggled at the incredibly large belly of Florian and wasn't able to react until Florian was soon disappearing into the aisle, albeit waddling with great difficulty. He actually moved faster than would be thought possible for him.

"Err, wait up....." He said still eyeing the heavily pregnant man, almost offering his arm seeing how difficult it was for him to move along the narrow passageway. "Y-you, i am so sorry for troubling you. Thank you so much." He took the keys. It took some effort to drag his eyes away from his huge belly. "Yea i would remember to lock it after I leave.... You sure you would be fine going back alone?" He asked even though it sounded kind of stupid. "You look like you are gonna pop... like.... hmm sorry. That's inappropriate." He apologized and then went into the toilet, obviously still in shock.

[tjopj44]

"Well, i don't know what do say about him either, so we're okay" Florian laughed.

"Hey, it's okay, you are not causing me any trouble" he said when Rex apologized "Really, i'm just doing my job, you don't need to worry just because i'm pregnant" he said patting his belly, although he thought Rex was kinda cute when he was concerned. When the man said he looked like he could pop, Florian couldn't avoid laughing, partially because it was true and partially because of Rex's nervousness "It's okay, i'm not offended" he assured the man before going back to his desk and sitting on his chair.

[bhdire8]

Rex tried to make himself more presentable. As he washed his hand, he couldn't help but looked into the mirror, tidying his hair and hesitated if he should remove the leather jacket or not. The guy was cute, and he was quite ashamed of himself when he found he wanna hit on Florian. He was pregnant and usually that also meant he had a partner. He sighed and suddenly found himself foolish wasting all that time in front of the mirror. He came out of it, somewhat deflated.

The video shop was quite large in fact, and he actually past by the adult corner and was startled when he came across some porn. He cleared his throat and hurried away from taht section as quickly as he could, hoping Florian wouldn't misunderstood. He got to the counter and handed over the keys. "Thanks for that buddy. You are all alone here I presume? From the radio i heard the storm's gonna last for a few hours at least...." He shook his head looking out of the glass windows.

[tjopj44]

As he waited for Rex to come back, Florian looked his reflexion at his cellphone camera and passed his hands through his hair, so it wouldn't be messy when the guy came back. He also tuck his t-shirt inside his pants (so his belly wouldn't be uncovered by it in case he had to move to reach something high), although he hated how it made his belly more pronounced

"Yes, today it's my day of taking care of the shop. Usually we don't need more than one person" Florian said, a bit distracted by Rex's eyes "But you can stay here all the time you want, and if the storm continues after the time the shop is closed, i guess we could spend the night in here, we wil be safe and...augh" he bit his lips as he felt another contraction hit his belly, back and pelvis and tried to avoid moaning, so he wouldn't scare the poor man into thinking he was in labor

[bhdire8]

"Are you ok?" Rex asked anxiously, that abrupt stop in speech and the obvious pain on Florian's face got him very concerned. He surged forward and grabbed his arm. Florian must be clenching his teeth togteher for his jawline looked even more porminent.... and more sexy. Rex waited for FLorain to relax, and asked again. "You sure you would be alright? ..... if you need to take a rest, you could go on, I am quite sure there wouldn't be another man as clumsy as me to brave the weather....I promise I am not gonna steal anything around."

[tjopj44]

"No, it's okay, i'm fine" Florian said, blushing, when the contraction was over "It was just a small contraction, i'm sorry if i scared you, it's probably nothing i should worry about" he said "And it's okay, i trust you wouldn't steal anything, it's just that resting wouldn't help with the pain anyway. Besides... My boss would probably fire me if he knew i took a time to rest during my watch, and it was quite hard to find this job on the first place, since no one wants to hire a pregnant guy" he said, looking sad

[bhdire8]

"Yea figured.... " Rex nodded solemnly. He could understand the need for a job and how unlikely it was for any employer to hire him when he was thsi close. "I do hope he paid you decently... when should your shift end?" He asked glancing at the clock. "Taking the worst case scenario in mind, do you have any food available? A makeshift bed in case we need to spend the night here?" He asked. "I could quickly rush out to get some supplies from my car, I happen to have some bread and simple stuff that could help us for the night - I just came back from a visit to my parents and you know how overbearing they could be." Rex flashed one of his boyish smiles to Florian, a smile that accoridng to his colleagues, would get anyone agreeing to him immediately.

[tjopj44]

Florian was so stunned by Rex's smile that he felt like he could faint "I-I-I...Uh" He stuttered and took a deep breath before trying to start again, feeling a wave of heat spreading through his body "Yeah, parents will be parents" he said, looking at the floor so he could focus in the answers for Rex's questions "I think we have a makeshift bed in the employees' room, although i'm not sure about the food. But in any way, i think you shouldn't get out now, you could get hurt or something" he said, worried.

[bhdire8]

The blush spreading across Florian's cheeks and then his neck was adorable. Rex chuckled and waved him off. "If there's no food, then I better go now than later. It would only worsen. Even if we don't eat, we gotta make sure the little one got fed." He said glancing down Florain's belly, which was once again blocked away by the desk. "Don't worry about me, my car is as close as ti could be." He said and then rushed out, conveniently getting himself soaked again.

He came barging back in, with a huge duffet bag in his arms and another big backpack. He shook his body like a huge dog and then flashed antoher of his smiles to Florian. "Hey, wanna explore what's inside? I bet my mom stuffed a lot more things than she claimed behind my back... it's so much heavier than I remembered!" He said putting both down on the floor.

[tjopj44]

"More like little ones" Florian laughed "Well, if you say so, okay, but please be careful" he asked, now enjoying the man's company. He didn't want to be alone in that shop for any more time. When Rex left, Florian watched him through the window, ready to help him if anything happened, but it didn't, and the man came back safe and sound, making Florian smile again.

Once again Florian blushed as he recieved one of Rex's beautiful smiles and couldn't say 'no' to that face. "Yeah, sure" he said, joining Rex to look into the bag before noticing the other man's t-shirt was all wet and dripping water "Wait, Rex, you are soaked, you can catch a cold if you keep wearing it" he said "I think i have an extra here with me, it will be big in you, but it's better than nothing" he said, taking a folded T-shirt and handling to the man.

[bhdire8]

Rex pulled one of the bags up to the counter, and then also blushed a little when he realised how dripping wet he was. "oops... sorry, and I got this floor all wet... how about I go find your spare shirt and get the mop assumign they are placed in the same room?" He asked, already standing up. "And the keys? Just point me the way, stay where you are." He went to the other side of teh counter so he could get the keys.

While waiting for Florian to find the keys, he suddenly remembered. "Little ones....? You mean, there's more than one in you? no wonder you're so big... probably one of the largest belly I have ever seen. Hmm your partner must not be very comfortable knowing you are still working." He commented and then immeidately wanted to bite his tongue for saying something so inappropirate. "I am sooo sorry that shouldn't be something i ask. I am so sorry." He said looking exceedingly embarrassed.

[tjopj44]

"Hey, it's okay, really, i'll clean it" Florian said "I wouldn't be comfortable if you did my job for me, really" he handled Rex's the t-shirt he had found in the drawer and walked to the mop, that was leaning on the wall next parallel to the door. Then he started to mop the floor next to the door, it wasn't so wet, so it didn't take him much time "See? It was quick" he said, smiling at Rex when he had finished it.

"Yes, i'm having three baby boys" Florian smiled, thinking how Rex was cute when he was nervous "It's okay, don't be embarassed, i'm really big. The doctors said the babies are big for triplets, usually one of them is smaller" he explained, before frowning quickly when a partner was mentioned "Yeah, about that... my boyfriend broke up with me when he found out i was pregnant, he said he would pay for anything i needed, but that he didn't want to be involved with the kids"

[bhdire8]

"You are handling your belly remarkably well actually." Rex smiled looking at the pregnnat man mopping. Granted his posture was a little awkward to prevent the rod from brushing agains this belly, but he had proven he still could handle his job.

"You couldn't be that far away from your due date, can you? I don't believe there's any more room left in there..." Rex smiled and guessed. He regretted mentinoing about the boyfriend imediately seeing how Florian was still affected by it. "I am so sorry for having such a douchebag of an ex...... he's so irresponsible. You deserve so much better." Rex said sincerely. "And you are so brave. 3 babies, all boys! that would be a handful..." He said clutching Florian's arm, looking at him sincerely. He took over the mop and offered. "Now that you have mopped it... how about i go dry it. Any sinks or do I need to get to the toilet to dry this?"

[tjopj44]

"Thanks. That's very kind of you to say" Florian said as he finished mopping the floor. "Yes, my due date is in a week" he said, not mentioning that, since he was having multiples, he could go in labor at any moment. He didn't tell Rex that he had been feeling contractions through the day, after all, he didn't want to scare that cute guy "Well, it's okay, the past is in the past" he said about his ex boyfriend "I don't care about him anymore, i just want to move on. But thank you for being so kind, i'm sure the person who holds your heart is a very lucky person" he said with a smile.

"Well, if you insist" Florian said, handling Rex the mop "There is a sink at the bathroom, but you don't have to dry the mop, i can do that too" he said, embarassed of having someone helping him with his job after so long. "Yes, three babies is a lot... But, you know, i love them and i can't wait to have them with me" he said, rubbing his enlarged belly

[bhdire8]

"Well my boyfriend dumped me once I suggested I wanted a big family." Rex wasnt sure why he was saying this. "I just thought it would be nice to exchange our famlly values before I decided to.propose, then he simply said he didnt want to carrg abg babies.... nor did he want to take care of kids. And then, ya, that's about the end." He didbt mention he had already bought a hugely expensive ring for his boyfriend of 8 years at the time. "You should be on your paternal leave by now.... especially being all alone here." He said worriedly as he got the mop to the toilet. "I could take care of that... afterall we are the only 2 souls around. Better help each other out." He smiled at Florian.

By the time he came back, Florian was glancing around the bag, obviously curious but not dare to open it. Rex smiled and put away the mop before getting to Florain's side, behind tbe counter as well so that they were quite close to each other. "Why dont we unwrap this together. Hmm a lot of snacks I see... even pickles." He groaned seeing his.mother packed a bottle of it.

[tjopj44]

"I'm so sorry to hear about that" Florian said, rubbing Rex's back "I'm sure you would be a great dad, and that someday you will have a big family of your own" he assured Rex. "Thanks" he said with a smile "you are being very nice. If you need anything, just let me know and i will do whatever i can to help you too"

"Sure, let's check on it" he said, smiling as he joined Rex to look into the bag "Wow, she packed a lot of stuff in here... We could survive trapped inside this store for a week" he laughed "Oh, man, your mom is amazing" he said, looking at Rex

(Has Rex changed his T-shirt already?)
