"Switch?" Drew asked, not expecting Deneil to ask to top for the night. Him being the bottom was something they agreed on without words, it was obvious that Deneil wasn't exactly packing and even if he was, Drew was just way more experienced. Drew considered himself to be a versatile man and like the rumors implied, he loved his share of anal sex. The feeling of being filled was something Drew's secretly craved for since getting involved with a man again, only problem was that Deneil had never expressed any desire to. That is, before tonight. "Fuck, yes." Drew was excited now, Deneil playing with his ass and taking charge like this was something Drew had always fantasized about. "Damn right I'm up for something different." He bit his lip and pulled Deneil from his ear and to his mouth, kissing him again. "I think you should take 'em off for me." He whispered back.

The way Deneil kisses on his legs amazes Drew, really. Drew himself was much more of a sloppy kisser and he just loves how his lover takes his time on every peck, working his lips to make every bite leave an imprint on his mind. "Not as sexy as you working that mouth." Drew sighed, feeling really lucky to have Deneil on him right now. Even though they were a fairly new couple, they're more than familiar with every inch of each other's body, Deneil knew what Drew liked and vice versa. It was exciting to feel like tonight they were exploring the unknown. Drew always wanted to keep things fresh but it truly wouldn't matter if they were keeping routine or not, getting to roll around in bed with Deneil was more than enough to get his adrenaline rushing. Drew watched as Deneil works his way up from his ankles, nearly melting at the look Deneil gave him. Feeling his boyfriend's moist tongue on his ass successfully milked a long, deep moan out of Drew who was enjoying every bit of this.

Deneil is currently live streaming on Instagram, just chilling and interacting with his fans. He's not one for heavily promoting himself and doesn't have a very big social media presence in comparison to similar acts in his age and genre bracket but he enjoys doing little live feeds now and then. He doesn't do anything extravagant or showbiz-like when he goes live as that's not his thing. He just chills, chats with fans and does his own thing. His fans love it when he broadcasts as Deneil is a natural comedian and he's so fun to watch as he's just so real and unfiltered.

In the middle of the broadcast though, Drew had came into his home. He has a key now so can pretty much come and go as he pleases. Deneil silently acknowledged Drew upon arrival but didn't end the broadcast or say anything. A quick nod sufficed. With Tisha's latest interview, the mystery of "Drewneil" is in the spotlight again and the last thing he wants to do is make it known that he's here with him right now. Deneil is even glazing over the comments he's being sent about it and there are boat loads of them. Usually he bites back and denies claims but he doesn't wish to fuel the fire today. He just continues normal conversation; "You guys heard the new Kidd track? Sick, innit? Thinkin' 'bout remixing it. What you think, fam?"

Deneil knows exactly why Drew is here. He's needs some TLC, someone to vent to and a way to unwind. Behind his phone, Deneil gestures towards his boyfriend as if he's pouring a drink and then pointing over to the kitchen. He's telling Drew to make himself comfortable and pour a glass of whatever he likes, without giving anything away to his viewers on the livestream. After signalling to Drew, Deneil turns his attention back to his phone and immediately claps back at a viewer; "I'm ugly? Mate, you can't say nothin'! Your avi straight up looks like Scooby-Doo fell into a meat grinder. Fuck outta here, fam!" Even though Deneil's being serious and not even attempting to be funny in the slightest, his wild accent and word choice always come across as comedic.

Both of them have had quite an explosive last few months. From public break-ups to near-death experiences to constant media speculation, they've both been tested. It's only formed stronger bonds between them though. Deneil is worried, however. Although he knows he will try his best to comfort his boyfriend and battle through things, Deneil has no idea what the future has in store. If these first few months of this year are just the start, they are in for a hell of a ride. They aren't even public but somehow their relationship is always tried. Drew has faced Tisha, the other Khan brothers and has come clean about many things...and it is hellish for him. Deneil, however, is still in a "relationship" with Mandy and living a cosy life. Seeing how karma has treated Drew lately, it's growing more difficult for Deneil to pluck up the courage and admit to everything. If things are this scary and chaotic now, God knows what is going to be thrown at them when they finally do come out. Deneil loves Drew but he fears that something will happen along the line that will break them beyond repair.

"Right fam...I'm gonna head off in a minute..." he says to his fans as he too walks into the kitchen, keeping Drew out of sight. "Your boy's gotta grab something to eat, innit?" Deneil grabs a pot of instant noodles that just require hot water. "Meal fit for a king! Bloody hell,
look at the fucking salt content in that! Bruv is gonna end up back in the hospital with this. Cardiac arrest!" he jokes as he starts to boil the water for his totally not unhealthy chicken noodles. "I'll see you later, fam. Peace."

After ending the broadcast, he shoves the phone into the pocket of his sweats and immediately wraps his arms around Drew. Being shorter than him, Deneil loves to bury his head into Drew's neck. It's more of a tight, "manly" hug than a soft, romantic embrace though. "Missed you..."
he says in a muffled voice, buried into his boyfriend's shoulder. He remains in the hug for a moment, soaking up the intimate moment before he has to get serious. Deneil knows why Drew is here, after all. There's going to be a lot of venting. Stepping back from the embrace, Deneil looks up at Drew and raises an eyebrow. "So...I guess it's stupid of me to ask how you're doing, huh?"

People tend to think that Deneil is a dim and one-dimensional hard-man with nothing else to him. Despite what first impressions he gives off, Deneil is actually a very deep and emotional guy. Situations easily tug at his heartstrings but he doesn't like to show it. All the Khans are the same. Knowing that Drew is hurt, pissed, confused, angry and every other negative feeling amalgamated into one really grinds Deneil's gears. It upsets him and he just wants to wave a magic wand over everything so that his Drew is happy again. Deneil knows that he has to remain strong and even fake confidence and plans of action if it means keeping things together. "Maybe not so obvious to your average Joe but to me? Well, I can tell a mile away when something is on your mind. I know you." Deneil was just making a truthful statement yet it comes across as so deep. It's only after saying it that Deneil realises how strong his words are. He really knows Drew.

As much as it pains him to acknowledge it, Deneil is aware that the both of them really should be feeling guilty for their actions. Granted, they aren't the only party in the wrong, but the two of them have played a major part in all this drama. He does not for one second feel bad for loving this man but the trail of destruction they are leaving in their wake is not something Deneil is particularly proud of. Still, Deneil is obviously going to stick by his man through all of this. As far as he's concerned, Tisha is the enemy and her making Drew feel like utter shit is the focal point here. Forget their own imperfections, someone is hurting his man and Deneil doesn't take too kindly to it. Sensing that Drew doesn't want to get too heavy with this conversation just yet, Deneil quickly thinks of something to put a smile on his boyfriend's face. Deneil pulls the collar of his shirt down, revealing that his throat is no longer patched up and what was once a hideous wound is now just a little scar. "All healed up now, innit fam? Though you should've seen the amount of hair I had to shave off when I finally took that patch off! Was like a 70's porno goin' on, bruv!" Deneil laughs and strokes his neck with his index finger. The scar is pale pink,
so it stands out against his beautiful dark skin tone. It sort of looks like a letter J at a forty-five degree angle.

Out of nowhere, Deneil leans in and places his lips on top of Drew's, giving him quite the smooch. They know each other so well that Drew could probably tell from the way he kisses him that it's more like a way of showing affection and appreciation rather than wanting to start anything x-rated. It's a rather loving and comforting kiss. He's just letting his man know that he's loved. "I'm here for you..." he whispers, slowly moving back from the kiss.

Deneil knew that mentioning his healed wound would definitely put a smile on Drew's face and even make him forget about all of his other worries even if it was only for a few seconds. He knows how much Drew loves him and how obsessive he became in regards to people going near Deneil's neck after the slashing incident. Mentioning it would surely overpower any thoughts of Tisha, the media and everyone else who had an opinion on Drew. He gives his boyfriend a rather warm and utterly cute smile when his neck is gently caressed. In spite of his hard edge and sometimes standoffish persona, Deneil is an extremely tactile person with his lover and melts like butter when touched. He's only like this with Drew and, in the past, with Mandy. He feels rather awkward and uncomfortable when anyone else tries to hug him or get into close contact. The Khan brothers are all like that. You can look but you can't touch. Like some sort of skittish stray cat, they are adorable to look at but if you stick out your hand to touch them, they'll back away as they don't want your nasty human germs...they may even swing at you. Drew has the privilege of touching on Deneil whenever he feels like it. "I mean, I don't think this scar will fade much. Will have a reminder for life but at least the worst part is over. That's one hurdle cleared, fam." Deneil smiles, talking about his throat slashing like it was nothing. He is certainly one tough guy and if he can endure that and come out the other side, he's certainly not going to let this drama get on top of him. Drew can be assured of that.

After being pulled back in by Drew, Deneil smirks but feels confused as to why Drew feels this way. Why would he ever doubt Deneil's loyalty?There is no way he would ever switch on him. Maybe he just can't relate as he comes from a group of brothers, Bilal especially, who would never turn their back on him. Once you're family, you're family. The Khans are the type who would help hide the body if you killed someone rather than make you do the right thing and come clean. "Of course I mean it, Drew. The going is getting tough but I ain't fucking goin' nowhere. I ain't no pussy. I love you." Deneil tilts his head up and gives Drew a tender kiss on the lips. Sensing that he needs some TLC and to be reassured that he's not alone in this, he continues on; "...and Billy loves you and got your back. Man, even Sayy is on your team. You might not think it but he is. We're fam." Deneil doesn't like to be all soppy but Drew needs to hear it and it is also very true. "If you want to stay here to get away from it all, I'm not going to object. If you want to get high to escape it all, blaze up. If you want to have a threesome with me and Sayy for some fun then it's cool." Deneil laughs, and playfully nudges Drew. "You can do whatever makes you feel better...just don't feel like you're alone in this, yeah?"

When Drew leans down and lightly kisses his scar, a little tingling wave of pleasure shoots through Deneil's entire body. His neck is by far one of his most erogenous areas and although his boyfriend wasn't trying anything on, the sheer contact was enough to give Deneil a little kick. "Oh you like the scar, bruv? I guess it don't look too bad..." he says, rubbing over it gently before continuing; "Suppose it could always pass as some sort of loss of pigmentation like what I got on my leg, fam." Deneil has a very small patch of skin on the back of his left leg which is just ever so slightly lighter in colour compared to the rest of his beautiful skin tone. Of course, Drew is familiar with it as he knows every inch of Deneil. By wanting to pass it off as a pigmentation problem, it's as if Deneil doesn't wish to boast about the fact that he survived a brutal knife attack. Many people would be shouting from the rooftops about how tough they are but taking into account the emotional distress that entire situation caused everyone, it's pretty clear why he doesn't wish to dwell on it.

The Khans often get a bad rep both in the industry and on the streets where they grew up on, especially the three brothers. They have an elder sister who is totally off the radar and the parents are also MIA but the brothers are still very much relevant and vocal. They have terrible tempers, speak before they think and have way too much pride for their own good but despite all of their general asshole qualities, they are actually less broken and dysfunctional than people like to believe. Their brotherly bond is a force to be reckoned with. All of the Khans are full of surprises and Deneil backs that up with his reply to Drew. "Alright, where?" he asks with a little tilt of his head. There could have been rejection or a lot of hesitation from him when Drew asked to go out in public. It's not easy for Deneil to just up and go around with his boyfriend in public. There's a whole list of things that could go wrong and many reasons why it's safer to keep things behind closed doors. Deneil doesn't care about all of that as his boyfriend is clearly in need and whatever makes him happy comes first. When a Khan loves something or someone, they put it on the highest pedestal and bend over backwards to please them. Being so invested is rather endearing and romantic but it's also a huge reason why the brothers turn into the nastiest pieces of work whenever their relationships don't work out. They hate having their time wasted and having their love and trust throw back in their face. They are an extremely passionate and intense bunch to say the least.

"Whatever we do...mind if it's something lowkey...chill? That's just my vibes, innit." Deneil takes little baby steps forward and tiptoes slightly so that he can give Drew another soft, tender kiss on the lips. It's not that Deneil never wants to be seen with Drew, it's just that he isn't really one for being the centre of attention...which is ironic considering he's one of the hottest topics right now. Deneil still hasn't taken part in an interview, he skips award shows, has pushed back his album several times as he fears it will lead to overexposure and generally likes to live a "regular" life. Whether he and Drew are public and official or not, Deneil still won't be one for loads of PDA paparazzi shots and flaunting off his boyfriend in front of the cameras regardless of just how much he loves the man.

"Yeah, I suppose you're right, bruv. Just wish that I could tell a different story when people ask about the scar, innit?" Deneil sighs and rubs over his neck once more, still in disbelief that all of that even happened. He wishes he could just erase it. Talking about the incident not only brings back painful memories but it's rather awkward too as he has to lie about a few things, namely the people he killed that night. As far as everyone else knows, this was an unprovoked attack on Deneil. Drew was not involved and Deneil was the only casualty.
He has to remember that when telling his story otherwise it'll land more people in trouble. That night was also another testament to the Khans brotherhood as Bilal cleared everything up and paid the right people to make sure it looked like nothing else happened in the alleyway that night.

Deneil chuckles, seeing Drew light up. He loves seeing his boyfriend so elated, although all good partners do. They've been through enough shit to last a lifetime lately and all he wants is for Drew to enjoy himself for once. With the whole Tisha scenario, the guy could do with a break. "Well, to be honest, there ain't that much shit to do around here. There's just the park...and most of the squirrels there carry blades. This is a rough area, fam! Few clubs but they ain't opened yet. Uh...I know a few guys who are good at hooking me up with the..uh..." Deneil rubs under his nose and chuckles, obviously referring to cocaine. When he thinks about it, he realises how little entertainment there is around here and it puts into perspective how uneventful his everyday life is compared to the big celebrities he works with. It doesn't bother Deneil as he's happy with the bare minimum but he hopes that Drew isn't repelled by the mundane way of life around here. "Oh, there's also a big market in town. Sells everything. Most of it is stolen or fake though...but still, I like to support those trying to make a living." Deneil chuckles and gives his boyfriend another soft little kiss. It's evident just how enamoured he is with Drew.

Ooc: sorry for the delay, I went out for lunch and took a nap lol

Drew uses the key to open Deneil's back door. He visited a lot less often these days and rarely got to. For the last few months Drew has been back in the states making more music than he ever has in his entire career. It still wasn't music for himself but that didn't matter to him, he was just glad to be busy again. It took away from his time with Deneil though, being so many miles away made Drew anxious. Drew never knew what would happen to Deneil or what mistakes he himself would make and that made him worry about where they stood in this relationship, especially since it was shaping up to be a long distance one. After awhile, he realized this time apart was what they needed. It was so much easier to assess their relationship while not under the influence of each other's company. When he found himself in town again, getting Deneil's call had made Drew nervous. Who knew how much catching up would need to be done today and whether it would leave Drew stressed or relieved. He walked in the house and set his keys down with a smile, happy to see his boyfriend either way. "'Neil?" He called, waiting for an answer.

OOC: Akskdkjf the fact that i went to go snack immediately after i read this. You can't tell me what to do, in a bad bitch ✋💀

Drew gives Deneil a tight hug right back and jumps when Deneil yells. He knew he wasn't that strong, something was obviously wrong here. He frowns when Deneil starts holding his stomach. "What the hell, Deneil, you good?" Drew tries to move his hand out of the way but it seems Deneil's got a tight grip on his left side as a result of the pain.
