Chapter 11 (Yukine)
It’s the 1st of April, Wednesday. No one really does April fools day in our school so nothing that interesting happened today. For the past week Taj and I have gotten closer with each other. He came to practice everyday last week and he’s also started sleeping in my bed most days. He’s also become more comfortable without makeup on in front of me. I’m glad that he feels that he can be close to me and I enjoy it a lot, it makes me feel less lonely. I think that my feelings towards him are actually growing more, I just wish I could tell him. There’s just so much that I still need to tell him. Well as long as we’re friends I still have a chance.
It was around 6th period and the bell was gonna ring in about three minutes. I was in history and Mr. Johnson was talking about the civil wars in America or something like that. After a few minutes passed the bell rang and everyone ran out of the classroom. I walked down the halls and over to my locker, I wanted to get out a textbook for science because we have a test about some stuff. I closed my locker door and then someone wrapped their arms around me and their sleeves were rolled up.
“Hey!” Taj, I should’ve known.
“Hey Taj,” I turned around to face him.
“I saw you at your locker when walking down the hallway and thought we could walk back together!”
His smile always shined to me. I don’t know if anyone else noticed but he probably had the whitest teeth in school. I think today he wore less makeup because I could see some of his freckles showing through.
“You’re freckles…”
“Oh, yeah I was running out of foundation. Is it that noticeable?”
“Only to me!” I knew he was conscious about his real appearance, it kinda made me a little sad that he didn’t like his real face.
“So wanna walk back to the dorm together?”
“Oh, yeah of course!”
We walked down the hallways and then to the dormitory, up the stairs and to the room. I unlocked the door and we walked in.
“Hey do you wanna put the AC on it’s a bit hot today,”
“Yeah, that’d be nice,”
He grabbed the remote for the AC and turned it on. The air conditioner turned on and then let out a cool breeze. He put the remote back down, onto his desk. When I put my bag down I grabbed out the textbook, my science workbook, my phone and my earphones. I then grabbed my clothes and got changed in the bathroom. When I was finished I walked out and saw the Taj had already changed and was studying for something. I sat back down at my desk, plugged my earphones in and pressed the play button on my playlist.
We sat in silence, sitting at our desks and studying for a few minutes. Taj walked up behind me and put his arms onto my shoulders and was hugging me from behind.
“Yukine,” He groaned.
“Yeah Taj?”
“I’m bored!”
I put down my pencil, paused my music and pulled out my earphones from my ear.
“Well what do you wanna do?”
“Watch a movie or something I don’t know,”
“Ok we can watch a movie, but I get to choose!”
“Fine,”
I walked over to my bed and opened my laptop up. I opened up netflix and chose ‘The Nun’. I knew Taj didn’t like horror so I thought it would be fun to tease him. I clicked on the movie and paused it.
“Ok I’ve picked the movie!”
He walked over to my bed and lied down next to me. I passed him a pillow and he gave me a confused look.
“You’ll need it. Trust me!”
He knew exactly what I meant and gave me a major death stare.
“I will kill you one day!”
“Yeah, yeah, now just watch the movie!”
I pressed play on the movie.
We watched the movie and everytime a jump scare came on I jumped a little, but when I looked down at Taj he was clinging onto me and had his face stuffed inside the pillow I gave him. I felt kind of sad but then again it was kinda funny. The movie was over so I shut the laptop and placed it on my bedside table. I wrapped my arms around Taj who was still frozen from what he just watched.
“If you’re too scared you can sleep with me,”
“Yes, I will definitely be sleeping in your bed!”
I let out a small laugh.
“That was terrifying! How do you watch this shit?!”
“Well I guess I don’t scared easily?”
I wrapped my arms around him and we relaxed into each other. We laid together in silence and soon enough, I’m pretty sure he fell asleep. I looked down at his resting face and kissed his forehead.
“You have no idea how much I wanna kiss you,” I whispered to him thinking he was asleep.
“You’re so fucking cheesy,”
I looked down to see his eyes open and smiling. I was shocked. He literally just heard me practically say I like him! He got into a more upright position and placed one of his hands on the bed next to me, the other holding my face. He leaned in slowly with his eyes closed. I leaned closer to him and our lips then met. The kiss was soft and chaste, slowly getting more intimate. I rolled over on top of him and pushed him into the bed. The kiss became more intimate and the longer it went on for the more right it felt. I was positive now.
“I like you…”
I whispered to him in a gentle voice.
“I like you too…”
He whispered back in a smooth gentle tone. He then put an arm over my neck and pulled me closer to him. My heart was racing and when he pulled me in I could feel our hearts beating so fast. Our lips were touching and our heart beats were in sync. It was so cold but I felt so warm. All of a sudden I forgot our surroundings. The only thing I was concentrating on was Taj. Taj was mine.
He pulled away and then dug his face into my chest. I smiled gently and layed down, wrapping my arms around him. We laid on the bed in silence, there was no need for sound, all we needed was each other in our arms. We then slowly drifted off into sleep.
I woke up to the sound of my alarm going off. I opened my eyes and saw Taj wide awake laying on my chest. His makeup was a bit smudged because he forgot to take it off last night.
“Morning,” he whispered with his soft and gentle smile.
“Morning,”
He looked up at me and asked, “So what are we now?”
“How about… boyfriends?”
“That sounds good with me,” He dug his face into my chest and hugged me tighter.
I rested my hands on his face and tilted his head up. I gave him a smile and gently touched my lips against his.
“Now let’s get ready before we’re late,”
“Ok,” He groaned and then got out of bed.
He grabbed his uniform that was hanging on the end of his bed and then got changed.
