Chapter 5

Daniel looked up at the stranger with a worried look.

"How are we supposed to leave without our clothes? I'll admit I was tempted to just walk out of here without paying when I first tried it on but, I'm not greatly opposed to that idea!" Daniel was spiraling. He didn't want to go to a juvenile detention center for theft but he didn't know what to do.

"Hey, calm down," The guy tried to reassure Daniel. "We can figure something out."

"We? I don't even know you! We may have the same challenge but I don't know you that well. I don't know you at all, you're just a really handsome guy that happened to get his clothes taken like me!"

The man took note of Daniel calling him handsome and stifled a laugh as he felt his face heat a bit.

"Okay, fine! I'm DG. Nice to meet you."

Daniel looked at DG and sighed. "Daniel."

"Okay now that we know each other, how about we find a way to get out of here?"

Daniel took a deep breath and nodded. "Yeah. Yeah, okay."

"Alright? All the challenge was, was to leave the store. It didn't say anything about stealing."

Daniel looked at DG with an understanding yet feared look in his eyes. "What are you implying?"

Daniel was fairly uncomfortable as he walked out of the changing room in his boxers. He knocked rapidly on the wall connecting his and DG's changing rooms and was quickly pulled inside by a strength he wasn't prepared for.

He was shocked but not displeased at the sight before him. It was DG stripped of everything but black Calvin Klein boxer briefs. His hair was disheveled and his body was coated with a thin layer of sweat. He couldn't help but stare at DG as he ran his hand through his hair. He saw how DG's muscles flexed and Daniel wanted nothing more than to freely roam his hands all over his body.

Daniel felt his face heat up as he heard DG clear his throat.

"Are you done staring? We still have to leave y'know."

"Sorry! You were just...," Daniel trailed off and placed his hand behind his neck, looking away from DG awkwardly.

The pink haired man smirked to himself and pushed Daniel out of the dressing room. The two were now out in the open and exposed.

The chat was loving every second of it as more and more viewers tuned in to see DG and Daniel. The real problem now was leaving the store without having anyone notice. Even if they got caught on camera it would still spare them the embarrassment of being seen by others.

They quickly walked down the hallway and ducked by a nearby clothing rack. Daniel scanned the route to the elevator and grabbed DG's hand. He exhaled and counted to three before he darted for the elevator with DG in tow.

Daniel smashed the button for the elevator and prayed to whatever God that he and DG would make it in there safely. As the elevator doors opened Daniel practically threw DG in there and continued to hit the close door button without realizing he didn't press the first floor button.

Daniel sighed as the doors closed and he brought his phone up to his face. The chat was going wild. They really liked seeing Daniel and DG together. Daniel sighed and walked over to DG's side sighing as he settled himself in the corner near him.

DG's phone chimed and he brought it up to his face. He sighed and looked over at the ravenette who had his eyes closed and head pressed to the wall for support. It was then that DG realized how attractive Daniel was.

Daniel had a body that wasn't easily achieved by working out alone. It was almost like his body turned out like this over time. His body was all muscle with just the right amount of body fat. He seemed strong yet easily breakable if you were to drop him on accident. DG could the uneven rise and fall of Daniel's chest as he tried to regulate his breathing. His waist was small and his boxers gripped it firmly. DG could practically feel Daniel's body in his hands.

DG looked at his phone again and sighed before walking over to Daniel.

"Hey, can I...," DG trailed off as he sighed once more and placed his head near Daniel's. "I'm sorry. I just..." DG brought his head towards Daniel's, his breath close and lingering. It gave Daniel goosebumps. He thought about the events of the night. How he encountered a gorgeous blonde stranger, kissed him, encountered another gorgeous stranger and will possibly kiss him if he goes for it. Daniel was feeling selfish.

Daniel shuddered as DG ghosted his fingers over his exposed skin. Daniel didn't protest and hesitantly placed his hands over DG's, keeping them in place. This was very out of character for Daniel and he knew it. He had no idea why he would willingly kiss someone he had just met. He only did it the first time fir the money but, now this is entirely voluntary.

Daniel tilted his head to the side and pressed his lips to DG's. His lips were soft yet cold, leaving a sparking sensation the longer Daniel let his lips linger.

DG pulled away. He knew it was done. He backed away from Daniel and glanced at the phone in his hands.

DG blacked out his phone and held it tightly. Both men heard the doors to the elevator open and Daniel quickly looked towards the number on the screen display at the top ot the doors. When did they get to the first floor? Blood immediately rushed to Daniel's face as two women stared at the two in the elevator with red faces that could rival a traffic light.

All four of them stood there awkwardly until reason seemed to make its way back to Daniel. He grabbed DG's hand and ran out of the elevator pushing past the two girls and making a clear shot for the door. Daniel no longer regarded the stares of people in the store.

When they made it out, both phones chimed.

Challenge complete. Congratulations Player! Now depositing given amount of currency into provided bank account.

They both sighed. It was only then did Daniel realize they were being stared at by multiple people who all seemed to carry the same red faces. Neither Daniel nor DG thought this far ahead.

DG was quick and pulled Daniel with him across the street.

"My motorcycle should be here some where!"

Daniel spotted a black Harley just a few ways away.

"Is that it?"

DG looked over in the direction Daniel pointed to and booked it over with Daniel not far behind.

"Fuck, I left my key in my pocket!"

DG was now getting irritated. He felt the urge to kick his bike over until he saw a black bag hanging on one of the handles. He yanked it off and looked inside.

Inside the bag was two pairs of identical suits and both of their clothing. DG chuckled silently and muttered to himself before he gave Daniel his clothes, leaving the suits in the bag for later purpose.

The two quickly dressed themselves and sighed in comfort.

"So, what do you want to do now?" DG's voice caught Daniel off guard and he turned his attention to him.

"I'm not sure, can you just take me home? I think it's a bit too late to walk," Daniel said as he checked the time on his phone. That was when a link in the chat caught his attention. Daniel clicked on it and was lead to another Player's stream. Vin Jin's to be exact.

He seemed to be in some kind of formal wear with the background of a party. Everyone was watching one big projector screen with some sort of countdown on it. It read 3:25:40. Must be a timer, Daniel thought.

"This is addressed to a certain jet haired mother fucker who I know is on this Game. Let's finish what we started at school! Come over here to this party at XXX. Be wary though, it's a formal party so dress nicely!"

Daniel sighed to himself as he returned to his live chat. The majority of people wanted Daniel to go but, Daniel was opposed to the idea of getting worked up and abiding by Vin's taunting.

He turned to DG who had been watching the same stream as him.

"I'm assuming he's talking about you right," DG said as he turned his attention to Daniel.

Daniel nodded.

"Change of plans or do you still want to go home?"

Daniel paused for a bit. "Just take me home, please."

DG nodded before he got a challenge on his phone. He silently cursed and blacked out his phone, placing it in his pocket.

"Actually, why not go? Where's the harm in that?"

Daniel was baffled. Was DG not watching the same stream as him? "What? Did me and you not watch the same stream just now?"

DG shifted uncomfortably. "Yeah but, what could happen?"

Daniel wasn't impressed.

"Okay, how about this, we both go to the party and if he tries anything I'll step in and protect you okay?"

Daniel was quiet for a few minutes.

"Where did he say the party was held?"
