What I'd Give to See Through You

Don't leave me

Tuesday 2, September
POV: Aeson

Jaden: you know what we didn't ask? -he asked me while we were taking our books out our lockers, answering before I could even ask what.- Lio's locker. But I guess she knows where is, she hasn't asked.

Aeson: oh yea. True. But she hasn't asked, I'm sure she figured out where it was by herself. -we both went off to the math classroom after we were done taking what we needed. Jaden grabbed my hand, intertwining our fingers. He got used to do that when we were twelve. Ever since, it's usual that he holds my hand, sometimes I even hold his first.-

Jaden: do you want to sit with me? -when have I ever wanted to sit with anyone else?- I think we're going to start the new topic today. -he let go of my hand when we arrived to the classroom.-

Aeson: of course I want to sit with you. That way I don't have to pay attention, you take notes and I try to understand, contemplating wether it's easier to just desert or not. -I shrugged, sitting wherever Jaden chose. He always chooses where we sit. He's the one to locate first the left-handed desk, which tends to have a right-handed pair. I have no issue when it doesn't though. I conditioned myself to be able to sit with Jaden when the left-handed chair has also a left-handed pair, by making myself both-handed (not true, at least not because of him, I made myself both-handed for my piano lessons to be easier). I like my handwriting better with my right, though.-

Professor: good morning, you'll need your notebooks and if you don't have it then you shall ask for a piece of paper because I'm not allowing anyone out. -he entered the room. Only from the way he said this I feel my eyelids fall down with the temptation to not come up again.-

...

Jaden: ...do you think he is married? -he asked me, whispering. The class is about to end, he's solving some problems the teacher left. I only copied them, I'll study from solving them someday.-

Aeson: what? -I heard what he said, but I would like to have also the context.-

Jaden: do you think he is married? -he repeated, looking at the professor.- he has no engagement ring, that's why I'm asking. -his eyebrows furrowed, looking at the man's hands specifically. His expression guarded a hint of laughter, to what I couldn't help a bit of a snort.-

Aeson: please. Of course it's just the lack of the engagement ring what gave you the hint. -he laughed softly, hiding his face on the crux of his elbow.-

...

Aeson: what are you humming? -I asked, walking out of the classroom with Jaden, holding hands. I heard him humming a song, kind of as usual, and I always like to ask which one it is.-

Jaden: oh, it's a song... it's called um... kinda weird name, if you ask me, sex inside my car, by carpetgarden. -he replied, smiling awkwardly, his cheeks rosy. I'd never tell him this ever in my whole life, but sometimes I think he's very cute. There are times where he looks soft, like when his smile is small and his voice is low. It's dazing. But he has always been. Dazing, I mean. He's like a force sometimes, unhealthily attractive. It's difficult to not fall. Lucky I'm straight and his best friend. I'm immune to it.-

Aeson: great. -I said laughing silently, he did too.- it's a weird name indeed.

Jaden: yea but it's damn good, you should hear it one day. -he remained quiet for a moment.- I mean it somehow only talks about sex inside a car but I think it means with a person the singer loves so... I guess it's alright.

Aeson: I mean... the name is self explanatory? -I choked a laugh, he sighed, nodding.-

Jaden: it is. -he looked down, then looking up again just when a blonde guy that I've never seen before was walking casually in our direction. Jaden looked at him, he smiled, calling Jaden with his finger and a nod of his head. Jaden went at him without hesitation, and I noticed I have in fact seen him before. He's Mary-Sue's friend. I don't know his name, though. He's a level over us. Jaden and him talked for a while, he whispered in his ear, smiling and sometimes rubbing softly Jaden's waist, or his shoulder. I do that too. Who does this guy think he is? Jaden shook his head various times, looking confused. Then he laughed, what confused me, then he looked up at the guy and spoke with a venomous smile, surely flipping him off. Don't tell me this is another weirdo trying to get Jaden in bed. That's honestly disgusting. After that, the guy just scoffed, still with his smile there and Jaden went at me, resuming our walk as if nothing had happened.-
