The Quiet That Screams

Chapter 8- Leo’s POV: Claiming rights

Chapter 8- Leo’s POV: Claiming rights

Sep 09, 2025

After a while we leave the bathroom, my wife's face still a bright red and my arm still wrapped around him as we get back the teacher is standing in the middle of the classroom. She motions for us to sit down as we do. I feel a sudden coldness where the warmth of his body used to be.


“This week y’all are gonna do a group project on biology.” She gives an evil grin, her smile stretching from ear to ear.  “...You’ll be disecting…a Lion.” 


The whole class erupted in gasps and whispers. 


‘Is she serious?’ ‘No way!’ 


I look over at Dani. He looks at the displayed Lion with a mix of fascination and fear. I’m about to reach and hold his hand but…something stops me? What is this? It feels as if my heart is about to be smushed apart by pressure. Now Dani’s looking at me in…concern? 


A freshly killed Lion presented to us its tongue out and the scent of death fills the air the Lion looks like…It's decaying, someone in the back faints as another one barfs. It comes with a table of tools, a humongous scalpel, a chain saw and a set of gloves. 


Dani starts to look terrified and starts shaking. My mind starts racing as I build up the courage and hold his hand. Our fingers interlock, his hands are so soft and they’re trembling. 


“It’ll be ok I swear…you have me” I say trying to reassure him.


He looks up at me and nods, God I wanna protect him with my life. I smile and wish to hug him. He gives me a weird look for no reason I chuckle and try to brush it off. It’s probably nothing.


“Ready?” I ask him as I pick up the scalpel.


He looks up at me and gives me an unsure nod just then we start to steadily cut the Lion open blood going everywhere I could see the pure and utter disgust painted on his pretty face. I comfort him in hope that he wouldn’t puke but I can’t lie I would too.


After that class I went to go and look for Eric because me and my Wife had to go our separate ways. I sigh. I wish we had the same classes. I miss his pretty face already. I turn the corner just to see Eric having his arm wrapped around my wife. 


I don’t know why the fuck I’m so mad about this. It irked my nerves. Why do I feel like this? I bite the inside of my mouth. As I think that Dani whips his head around like he already knew I was there…weird. 


I take a deep breath to calm down before making my way over to the two and dap Eric up just so he gets his arm off my Wife. 


“Hey guys, wassup?”  I ask them as I wrap my arms around Dani’s waist hugging him from behind.


So warm I smile and just rest my chin on his head. He brings his hands up to my arm and rests them there. 


“Hi Leo…” My wife says with the sweetest tone I’ve ever heard come from his mouth. I smile and hug him tighter. 


“Yooo” Eric says with a smirk. 


Dani leans against me in a comforting manner. He seems to be warming up to me. I wish this moment would last forever. 


Eric reaches for wifey but I just hug Dani tighter. This is my waist fucker. I think and feel Dani Banani jump a  little bit. I wonder why he keeps having these reactions…hmm weird.


“Hey Leo?” my Wife asks with a nervous voice.


“Yes~” I reply with a smirk on my face butting my nose in his hair its so soft and it smells so fucking good holy hell.


“Can we go to our dorm? My head hurts…I think I got a headache.” he looks up at me, his eye that's normally covered by his hair  gets uncovered. I finally see his pretty face fully. I smile.


“Of course Dani.” I say reassuringly as I guide him away, completely forgetting that Eric.


On our way to our dorm we pick up some food, turns out Wifey has no spice tolerance whatsoever. I wonder what would happen if I kissed him after eating something spicy…what expression would he make?


Anyway he loves sweet stuff. I think he was foaming at the mouth. I chuckle. This guy, he really is the love of my life.


Note to self: Dani’s favorite candy is Nerd’s Gummy Clusters. The blue ones to be specific.


I could go a year off getting a kiss on the cheek. I just wish his lips would meet any part of me.


As we walk to our dorm Dani tells me he met a new kid today. It’s weird he talked with such excitement about this fucking guy…I roll my eyes but if it’s Dani talking I have no problem I just wanna hear pretty boy talk.


We enter our dorm. It doesn't seem as crappy as normal. Me and wifey sit on the couch and watch TV. I gradually stretch my arm around his shoulders then slide it down to the small of his waist. He laughs at the movie we’re watching; “How To Train Your Dragon” I love him. Like genuinely. I love the way he laughs, he talks, the way he bites his lip when he’s drawing. Goddamn im falling really fucking hard. I wanna hug him. I wanna protect him…I wanna make him mine so bad. 


I pull him into a tight hug taking a whiff of his hair which never fails to be soft and smell like vanilla…my favorite scent. I’m falling really hard…I’m never letting him go.

The Quiet That Screams
The Quiet That Screams

1.4k views15 subscribers

Daniel Hargrowth just wanted to survive senior year at Lumbridge Boarding School. Instead, a lab accident covers him in pink powder and leaves him with a ridiculous side effect—he can hear thoughts.

Specifically, Leo Miller’s thoughts.
His new roommate. His self-declared “future husband.” His cocky, shirtless, hockey-playing nightmare… who apparently thinks Daniel is princess material.

Now Dani has to juggle:

-Surviving boring classes (and Mrs. Hardley’s death experiments)

-Hiding the fact that he can hear Leo’s brain screaming “kiss him” every two minutes

-Figuring out if he’s actually gay… or just really doomed

It’s loud. It’s chaotic. It’s embarrassing.
And Daniel is starting to realize—maybe the quietest moments are the ones that scream the loudest.
