superfast, superfast, i come in last
It's been weeks, but it feels like forever because He Ming's been trying for all this time to get his neighbor alone with him and it hasn't happened. Trying to distract him from mowing his lawn and flirting over the fence hasn't gotten him anywhere. Not even hanging out on his back porch and staring got much of a response.
Well, maybe the staring wasn't such a good plan. He ends up toning it down and ramping up the actual talking and interaction whenever he 'happens' to bump into the older alpha when he's trekking back and forth between his summer job at the coffee shop. And he definitely turns it up during the block party at the end of summer, wearing shorter shorts than his parents would probably approve of if they weren't on away a trip to see his grandparents. He eats barbecue, hangs out with his friends, and risks mixing vodka into punch. It's not like anyone is going to stop them when they're just having some fun and most people's parents are around.
The party is still going on strong when he stops to sit on a curb and take a breather. Throughout the night he's been keeping an eye on the alpha, and when he sees the man move away from the group he hops to his feet and trails after him.
Is he leaving already? He Ming picks up the pace to catch up just as the alpha turns a corner down the street towards their houses. "Hey!" he calls out. "Going home already?"
