My Little Boy | DDLB |

Boyfriends. That's what we are now. I didn't think it would happen so fast, but I'm beyond happy it did. I've liked him since freshman year. I don't know when he started liking me but I'm glad he told me how he feels about me.

Once our conversation in the car was finished I was finally able to get a giddy, smiling Ethan out of the car. I open the door to the school holding it open for Ethan, and head towards the office for our late passes.

Once we reach the office Ethan stands behind me, the smile on his face only a couple seconds ago completely gone, replaced with an emotionless bored look.

Back to this.

Signing, I get our passes from the office lady, thanking her before heading back towards the door. Stopping when I hear her shrill voice, "You guys are new seniors. Correct?"

"Yes..." I reply confused as to why she's asking.

"Your entire grade is in the auditorium being prepped for the assessments. You boys better hurry before you miss the instructions. Happy Sorting Day!" I feel Ethan stiffen next to me at the mention of the assessments. Uh oh.

"Okay thank you ma'am." Once we exit the office closing the door behind me I take in Ethan, he's fiddling with his fingers, bitting his cheek, and looking off into space. A worried face plastered across his features.

"Are you okay Ethan?" His eyes snap to me, averting back towards the wall immediately after.

"I'm fine." He snaps. I hate how anxious he is at school. He always has his guard up, it's unnecessary. I won't let anyone hurt him.

"E... baby-" I say trying out the new nickname. His face turns red instantly. I decide just then that I like making him blush. Looking around to make sure we're the only people in the hall.

"Lukas I'm fine... I just- I wish we could take our assessments together. I won't see you all day."

I've been trying to get him to express his feelings whenever he's feeling off. He's been doing a really good job lately, telling me how he feels whenever he feels 'funny'. I'm proud of him.

"Good job telling me how you feel baby, I'm proud of you." Blushing again he whispers a quiet thank you. "Now about the assessments. I know you don't want to do it alone but we have to. I will see you right after. We'll go get dinner and tell each other which classes we got, okay?" He looks at the floor, nodding slowly.

"Let's go to the auditorium so we don't miss anything. Everything's gonna be okay, E."

We go to the auditorium and sit down in the row furthest back. We didn't miss anything important, the assessors are still introducing themselves.

We get through the instructions and they explain how they will ask us all the same first 3 questions. After that they'll go to the randomized questions, the next question changes depending on the answer of the previous one. They explained how we will be hooked to a lie detector so that we cannot lie. Lying is unacceptable. They tell us the assessment will take around 4 hours.

They went over the directions to our "pods", which are just the rooms where our assessor will classify us.

Looking over at Ethan out of the corner of my eye I see his leg bouncing up and down, his thumb nail in his mouth, I can hear the clicking sound of him biting the nail off.  I reach over and pull his finger out of his mouth, shaking my head no when he turns to look at me.
