Calyx Sparks

(Sarcasm alert) When he got to school, there was a wonderful surprise! Blondie was in his first class for the next day as well, and instructed to sit by Calyx. He immediately stretched out and... Fell asleep sitting up. Calyx had to swallow back a laugh.

Unfortunately, the 'desks' in his class were actually tables made for two people. Small tables. Tables that make you on edge because you were sitting so close to your neighbor. So close that your neighbor decides to be annoying and shove the complete lower half of their body against you to knock you over while trying not to laugh. So close to you can flick the offending party hard enough for them to yelp and retreat. Close enough to see stunning blue-green eyes close up. Close enough for somebody behind you to slap you both on the shoulders and snicker you should get a room. No issues after that. Blondie went back to sleep.

Next class, guess what? Calyx sits down and Blondie appears in the seat next to him and decides to be a little bitch and drape his legs across Calyx's lap. Blondie tilted his head with an innocent smile. "Dickhead." Calyx muttered under his breath.

"What was that it? Didn't hear you," Blondie's voice was lazy and slow.

"I know. You couldn't hear me pass your ego," Calyx said, pushing Blondie's legs off his lap. He huffed and slumped into his seat, pouting. Then turned around and gave Calyx the most convincing puppy dog look he'd ever seen in his life. And that's saying something, he got them all the time from girls. Calyx thought he was prepared. He absolutely was not. He couldn't even look away from the guy. He glared back, but he was losing.

Finally he sighed and shook his head, patting his legs. Blondie grinned and put his legs across Calyx's lap again. I don't even know this guy. But... He felt like he did. Calyx set his arms across Blondie's legs. What else was he supposed to do? He couldn't stop his heart from racing. But why? They chilled like that for the rest of class.

Of course there were tons of whispers and rumors about Calyx and Adriel or 'Cadriel' as people came up with ship names. Needless to say, Calyx was NOT a happy camper. By the end of the school day, half the goddamn school had to come up to him asking if he was gay. He said 'none of your business' every time. It really wasn't any of their business.

That night, he dreamed of white hair and silver eyes again, but they felt somehow closer.
