Flower Boy

Chapter 6

(Just like the last chapter, somewhat of gay scene!)

Brett smirks at the smaller brunette from across the food hall, watching as he squirms while his friends point at the mark on his neck. He chuckles lightly and looks back down at his plate of spaghetti and meatballs.

"What's so funny baby?" Witney wraps her arms around Brett's, making sure to press her breast against him.

He holds back a gag and smiles at her. "Just remembered a joke, that's all."

She gives a small frown before joining back into the conversation she was having with her friends. He rolls his eyes and looks at Caleb and Taylor as they stare back at him.

"What?" He gives them a look, resting his chin in his hand as he goes back to watching Aiden.

"Nothing? You just were staring, that's all." Caleb chuckles.

"Weah-" Taylor swallows the bite in his mouth. "Can't take your eyes off him."

Caleb and Taylor laugh as Brett sends a glare their way.

"Cool your tits man, it's just a joke." Caleb shakes his head, taking a bite of his bread stick.

"So what if I was..." he looks down.

He knows he shouldn't be feeling this way, but he just can't help watching the smaller boy squirm under pressure, watch him wither. He remembers the first day they met, Aiden had cried over the dead flower, his tears flowing down his cheeks like a stream.

"You did this- how could you!?"

Brett flinches as those words circle his mind, rolling around like a boulder down a hill. He looks up to see Aiden smiling at a small girl, a faint blush could be seen from where Brett was, he felt his jaw clench and his fist tightened. Some time after Brett let's out a breathe he didn't know he was holding in as he watches the girl smile back at the "bad kids" table, one of the girls sending her a wink back. Aiden nods smiling before turning back to his friends with a deep blush on his face.

"Oh Brett," he looks down at Witney, a fake smile stretched on his lips. "Where did you go after class, I couldn't find you and I got worried!"

"I'm sorry, but I had to go meet with a teacher about some work." He musters up a good enough excuse, good thing she fell for it or else Brett would have spat out the truth.

"Oh ok!" She smiles and hugs his arm.

The truth being, after hearing about what happened yesterday with Aiden during todays lunch, Brett instantly went looking for him after classes.

Brett sat in his seat, staring intently at Aiden from across the food hall, wondering why his friends were fretting over him more than usual. He's pulled out of his thoughts when he hears Witney and her friends mention the smaller brunette's name.

"Omg, did you hear what happened last night at the boys dorm room entrance?" Kaley, a short blonde with way too much lip infusions asked.

"No, what happened?" Hailey, a tall brunette asked from across the table.

"Well apparently Flower Boy collapsed for no reason and had to be rushed to the clinic."

Brett nearly stops eating to look at them and ask 'what!?', but he holds back so he won't be questioned or interfere with the conversation they were having.
