Chapter 13 (Yukine)
I sat down with Taj where his group of friends were sitting. I had already met them before but I never really hung out with them. When we first met I thought they were pretty good people. I looked around the table and there was Lawrence and Harry who were sitting next to each other on the other side of the bench, one of Lawrence’s arms was resting on Harry’s shoulders. There was also Jason who was sitting on our side of the bench. I kinda felt bad for him because he was the only person at the table who didn’t have their significant other at the table. When I sat down with Taj the guys gave us a strange look, almost like they were gonna burst out with a bunch of questions or something like that.
“So Yukine!”
I looked over to Jason who spoke the first words, then back down at Taj who was shoving his food into his face out of embarrassment.
“Yeah?”
“When did you start having feelings for Taj, he had a major crush on you for like ages-”
Taj almost choked on his food and started coughing insanely.
“Are you ok?!” I screamed trying to help him.
“Yeah, don’t worry about it,” His face was bright red, probably because Jason just spilled that he had a major crush on me for ages.
“Anyways back to what Jason was saying!” Harry shouted across from the bench.
“When exactly did you start having feelings for Taj?”
“Well it was probably a bit longer but I only really started to realise my feelings for him on the day we went into town together on that Saturday. So maybe about a month or longer,”
“Well Yukine the truth is Taj had a major crush on you for about a month too!”
“Oh my god stop Lawrence!” I looked back down at Taj who was bright red.
“What you were talking about him a lot and when I mean a lot I mean a lot!”
“Yeah, he was so worried you were straight!”
“Once he came storming into Harry and I’s room bright red complaining about how you always walked around the room shirtless and that when you came out of the shower you looked way to hot,”
“You guys are so embarrassing!” Taj groaned and shoved more cereal into his mouth and then chugged the milk trying to cool down. His face was getting redder by the second and it was so cute! I then remembered what Jackson recommended about us all hanging out on the weekend, I forgot about it last night.
“Hey actually my friends and I were thinking of going into town and maybe go to the beach or something on the weekend. They told me you guys should come with us!”
“Oh my god the beach! It’s been ages since I’ve been there!”
“Yeah let’s go!”
“What about you Harry?” Lawrence looked down at his boyfriend with a concerned look. I didn’t know why but maybe something happened at the beach or something.
“Yeah let’s go it sounds fun! I’ll figure out something,”
“Ok, as long as you're comfortable with it!” I didn’t want to ruin the fun mood so I decided to ask Taj about it later.
During lunch I sat with Taj’s friends again. They’re really good guys and also really fun to talk to! Taj was less embarrassed during lunch because we didn’t really talk about him or me. We talked about some controversial things and made fun of a few celebrities, normal things you’d talk about.
When school was over I got back to the dorm because my teacher let me out early for finishing my work early. Taj was gonna get to the dorm in around ten minutes so I decided to set up a little movie date because Taj was talking about how he wanted to do a Hunger Games movie marathon. I turned the AC on and put a bunch of blankets onto my bed surrounding the area with a few pillows. I looked through my snack stash and pulled out two big bags of popcorn and put them onto the bed. I still had a few minutes until Taj got back so I got changed into my favourite pair of tracksuit pants, when I was finished I turned off the light and closed the blinds. After a minute or so Taj unlocked the door and opened it. When he saw what i had done his eyes were filled with shock and just stood there for a while.
“Hunger Games movie marathon?”
He closed the door and dropped his bags in front of his bed, grabbed his pjs and ran into the bathroom to change. I let out a small laugh and sat on my bed to wait for him. It took him about five minutes to get changed and remove his makeup. When he exited the bathroom I moved over to the side of the wall more to make more space on the bed for him. He walked over to the bed and laid down next to me, getting comfy and snuggled into my side. I placed the laptop onto my lap and played the first movie.
For the rest of the night we watched the whole Hunger Games series, as usual we had instant ramen for dinner. The night was really fun. We teased each other about things and complained about some of the characters in the movie. It was really fun! When we decided to take a break I texted the guys about where we were gonna meet and the time, also who they could bring. Most of the night Taj was snuggled up by my side and we started making out during some of the scenes.
The next morning Taj woke me up early so we had enough time to get ready to go to the beach and meet up with the guys. When we were done packing I changed into my usual long jammers, which were black with a dark blue stripe going up the sides, with a plain white tee. Taj was in a black band tee and some dark red boardies.
“Hey Yukine,”
“Yeah?”
“Can I maybe call you… babe?” His face was flustered and red. I got up a little closer to him to tease him.
“What was that? I couldn’t hear that,” I said as a little tease.
“You know what I said!” I let out a little laugh while he covered his face feeling even more embarrassed.
“Of course you can… babe,” his face flushed red and he had an even more flustered look on his face. I leaned in closer to him and kissed him. I pressed him against the wall next to his desk and the kiss got more deeper.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
We were interrupted by a loud knocking on the door.
“Come on hurry up you guys we’re gonna miss the bus!”
I was annoyed that the guys had interrupted Taj and I, but we grabbed our stuff and walked over to the door and into the hallway. We were greeted with Jason, Harry and Lawrence at the door. Their dorms were only on the floor above us so it made sense for them to meet up with us first, Henry and Jackson were probably at the bus stop already.
“Hey guys!”
“Hey Taj! What’s up with Yukine? He looks kinda angry,”
“Don’t worry about it Jason, you just kinda interrupted something,”
“Oh, sorry man,”
We walked over to the bus stop to meet up with Henry and Jackson who arrived a few minutes earlier than us.
“Hey guys,”
“Hey Henry,”
We chatted for a while and after a few minutes the bus arrived. The bus wasn’t that crowded and probably only had a few other people on it. We all sat up near the back. Harry and Lawrence, Henry and Jackson and Taj and I all shared a seat each, Jason sat in the seat in front of Harry and Lawrence. The bus ride was fairly calm. The guys spoke a little to each other but mainly just spoke to the people they were sitting with, Jason mostly played on his phone.
“Hey babe?”
“Yeah?”
“Can I kiss you?” I whispered into his ear.
“Yeah,” He whispered back in a gentle voice.
I looked at him and then slowly leaned into a kiss. His lips were soft and the kiss was gentle. I pushed him into the side of the bus gently where the window was. The place went quiet. I could only feel him, everything else seemed to cancel out. He tasted sweet. I suddenly forgot about what was around us and didn’t give a single thought into what I was doing.
“Yukine…”
“Yeah?”
“We’re still on the bus,”
“O-oh right, sorry” We both let out a small laugh
I felt embarrassed because I completely forgot that we were on a bus. For the rest of the ride to the beach Taj rested against my shoulder calmly looking out the window. Jason and I talked for a little bit but that was about it. Once I looked over to Harry and Lawrence and they were also making out.
The bus ride was around a 30 minute ride to the beach. When we reached the beach the waves were calm, the sky was clear and there wasn’t that much wind. I could taste the salty air in my mouth, The seagulls were loud and I could hear people talking in the distance. The beach wasn’t as crowded as I expected. We laid down the massive picnic rug that Laurie had brought on a grass patch that was close to the sandy area of the beach and set down our bags in one corner of the rug. Our area had maybe three or five other groups near us.It wasn’t lunch time yet it was around 10:45am.
The guys started to take off their clothes to reveal their swimwear. Most of the guys were wearing normal board shorts and nothing else except for me, Harry and Henry. Henry was wearing his plain black swim jammers underneath his boardshorts and Harry was wearing a white short-sleeve rash shirt with blue accents and sleeves. When I looked at Taj I saw that he was still wearing his makeup and was confused because he was wearing his swimmers, so he was obviously going swimming. I crawled over to him where he was going through his bag for something.
“Hey babe, why are you still wearing makeup?”
“Well I wasn’t gonna go swimming actually,”
“Why are you in your swimmers then?”
“The beach aesthetic?”
“Nope you’re going swimming!”
“Why?”
“You have swimmers we’re going!”
“But I really don’t feel comfortable with it off!”
I pulled him closer to me and sat him on my lap.
“Babe it’s only our friends and me here,”
“I know but there’s a few other groups around us,” I looked around to the other groups they were metres away from us and weren’t even paying attention to us.
“They’re not even looking at us. You look perfectly fine without it on and no one’s going to judge you for it! Could you please just do it for me?”
There was a long pause.
“Ok fine, but only for you! Your lucky I brought the wipes,”
I smiled at him and hugged him tighter, I was happy he was going to be able to come into the water with us. He grabbed his bag and dragged it closer to us. He went through it for a while until he found the makeup wipes. He took out a wipe and started to wipe it along his face. It first smudged it but then after a while it came off. He threw the used wipe into his bag and turned his head towards me. His freckles were scattered across his face and I still can’t get over how cute they look on him.
“Happy?” I hugged him tighter.
“Very!”
“Hey are you two done being all lovey dovey? We’re going into the water now!” We looked down near the waves and saw Henry waving at us with the rest of the guys behind him.
“We’ll be there in a sec!’ Taj yelled at them.
I let go of Taj and we both took our shirts off and ran down to the rest of the group.
When we got into the water it was cold at first but when you settled into it it was warm. The water was calm and the waves were small, it was only if you got further out was when the waves started to get rough. I layed down on the water and floated with the waves. It was calm and peaceful. I then got a shock of water being splashed onto my face.
My balance stopped and I fell into the water. The water reached up to the middle of my thigh when I stood up. I looked over to see who had splashed me and I realised it was Taj who was laughing at me. I ran as fast as I could towards him and waved a small wave with my arm splashing his face.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Yukine waved a small wave of water with his arms splashing me in the face and making me fall into the water. He burst into laughter when I landed in the water. When I opened my arms I could see Lawrence sneaking up behind him and splash him from behind.
“I got you Taj!”
“Thanks Laurie!”
Then from behind me Jackson charged towards Lawrence and splashed him, almost knocking him over. Harry then came running in with Jason and ambushed Jackson. Then Yukine and Henry got them from the front and back. I splashed Yukine while he was off guard and then the whole thing escalated into a huge water fight between Yukine, Henry and Jackson versus Me, Lawrence, Harry and Jason.
“Hey that’s not fair you guys have an extra player!”
“Oh shut up you guys! You’re a part of the school’s swim team aren’t you?”
“Fair point Jason,”
Jackson then splashed him.
It was so much fun. Especially when I got in a sneak attack from behind on Yukine because he’d always be shocked from it and scrunch up his face which was kinda funny. The water fight went on for a few minutes until we all got a little exhausted. Harry and Laurie went back down to the rug to rest for a bit and Henry, Jackson and Jason were sitting down in the water talking about a few things, Yukine was also swimming a little bit. I was floating on the calm water relaxing while the water drifted me along a small area of the beach. It was so relaxing I almost fell asleep.
I felt someone pick me up from the water and it scared the crap out of me because I thought it was some rando.
“Oh my god!” I shouted.
“Relax babe it’s only me,”
I looked up to see Yukine smiling down at me. His body blocked the sun as he leaned over me and all I could see was his body leaning over me with an innocent smile on his face. Some sunlight shone through some open areas and made the water on his body shimmer. His tan skin glowed and his brown eyes locked with mine. I smiled gently at him.
“You know you look really hot right now,”
“Oh really now?!”
“Yes,”
I leaned forward for a kiss but then I fell and splashed into the water. I sat back up and shot him a glare.
“You dick!”
“Well you’re dating this dick,” He had this sly smile on his face.
I then saw a perfect opportunity for revenge and took it. I quickly grabbed his right arm and pulled him into the water, making sure to move away so he didn’t fall on me.
“Whoa!”
He then came falling towards the water and his mouth gaped open and his eyes widened from the shock. I bursted into laughter when he splashed into the water.
“Oh my god you should’ve seen your face! It was priceless!”
When he recovered from the shock he bursted into laughter.
“Ok yeah I deserved that,”
I lunged towards him and wrapped my arms around him. We both laughed and he wrapped his arms around me. He stood up and was carrying me with my legs wrapped around his waist and my arms wrapped around his neck and resting on his shoulders. Our foreheads rested against each other and our eyes locked.
“You know, I’m really happy you moved in,”
“I’m glad I did too,”
Our lips pressed against each other, the kiss was chaste, long and passionate.
