Blood in the Water

Chapter 10

"You are staying at my house for a couple days, whether you like it or not." Mike tells me as were walking to photography. 

"And what if I don't want to?" I smirk at him, knowing he can't do anything. 

He shoves me against the wall outside of the classroom. "I'll drag you there myself then." He smiles as he walks into the classroom. 

"Yes sir," I mutter out and walk into the classroom. He took me by surprise and I think he noticed, he's getting confident in himself. 

"Alright, everyone can I have your attention?" We all turn to look at him. "I need everyone to send me at least two copies of one picture you have taken to be printed out, we need them for our next project. " We all nod and I try to find a good enough picture for the project that I like. I decide on a picture of the downtown just as its getting dark. 

"I heard that you destroyed your house," Charlie starts as he's searching for a picture on his phone.

"Yeah. Wait, how'd you find out?" 

"Mike told me last hour. Isn't he making you stay with him for a bit?"

"Yeah, but I don't need it, I'm fine. I just have anger issues, that's all." 

"You need to get them uncontrol, dude." 

"I know." 

Mike drops me off at my house for a few minutes so I can pick out some clothes and such for staying at his house. I come out a few minutes later and unwillingly get into the car. 

"You don't need to do this, Mike."

"That's right, I don't but I don't trust you by yourself right now." 

You shouldn't trust me at all

He soon makes it to his house which is only a few blocks away from mine. The house is roughly the same size, just a dark shade of blue and white. I follow him inside to meet his parents and younger sister. 

"Is this the-" His sister starts but he covers her mouth. 

"This is Daisy and my mom and dad." He gestures towards them all. 

"Hello," I say and awkwardly wave. "I don't want to intrude but your son over here dragged me here."

"Its fine, darling. Stay as long as you need." His mom says.

"Thank you." 

"C'mon let's go to my room." Mike says and I follow him to the stairs. 

He leads me down a corridor to his room, which is on the left side and one door down. His walls are a dark red, almost maroon. He has a lot of posters around, with a desk and bed in the middle of his room. On the desk is a computer monitor and scattered pens, pencils, and papers. He also has a shelf with dozens of books, awards, and trophies. He also has a closet with a massive amount of clothes in it. 

"You can set your stuff anywhere you like..." He trails off, like he's never had a guy he likes over. 

"You know how easily I can escape out this window," I joke with him. 

"I would love to see you try." 

I walk over to him and look down at him. I'm a solid four or five inches taller than him and he just looks up at my confidently. "It's cute how hard you are trying to be a top." I smirk and walk over to his desk to figure out how to form a funeral. 

"You would think writing an obituary would be easy," I say after sitting there for a while whilst Mike sits on his bed. 

"You're thinking to hard about this," He says and walks over to me. "Just tell his basic live story. You know, where he lived and grew up, the things he did, the job he had, the things you did together, things like that."

"You are a genius, Mike." I exclaim. He smiles all happily to himself and goes on his bed again. 

"Max, Mike, time for dinner!" His mom calls upstairs. 

I follow Mike downstairs into the dining room for dinner with his family. His father sits at the head of the table, with his mother and sister on one side and us on the other. His mother made chicken and mashed potatoes for dinner. The table was mostly silent except for the sounds of knifes and forks on the plates. Mike's father soon asks Daisy about her day and she goes into a rant about a boy she likes. 

"You don't need a boyfriend, Daisy." Mike says and she huffs at him. 

"Yes I do, I'm thirteen and all my friends have one! I feel left out," She crosses her arms across her chest.

"There's no rush for a relationship."

"Yeah but you-" She starts and Mike places a finger to his mouth and mouths 'Not yet'. She catches the hint and shuts her mouth.

"Well Daisy, I just met you and all but any guy to go out with you is a lucky man."

"Thanks Max. Can we be excused now?" She asks her mom. 

"Yup, you all may be."

"Thank you," I tell her and she beams. 

"Do your parents know you're gay?" I ask as soon as we get back to his room. 

"Yeah actually. I accidently let it slip one day and they fully support me." He explains. 

"That's great," I exclaim and sit on his bed. 

"I've got a question for you." He says suddenly. 

"What is it?" I say and lay back on his bed, with him sitting next to me. 

"Would you...Would you like to go on a date with me?" He turns away as soon as he says this. I look over at him and grab his chin with my hand. 

"Mike, I would love to go on a date with you."

"Awesome!" He exclaims. "I mean, cool cool." We both start laughing. 

"Where are you taking me?" 

"Surprise, I can't tell you." 

I come back from the shower a little while later to see a bed made for me on the floor of his room by the closet. It consisted of two pillows, a comforter for the 'mattress' and a blanket on top. He's fluffing up the pillows when I walk in. 

"Awe, you didn't have to do this." I say.

He jumps, startled. "It's no problem, trust me." 

"Should I trust you?" 

"I don't know, should you?" 

"You are so annoying," He laughs and gets his bed ready for sleeping. 

I get comfortable and lay down in it. I watch as he sets up his pillows and his blankets just right. He double checks the window to make sure I can't get it open without making a sound. 

He's got a nice ass...

Mike lays into the bed and turn off the light for the night. 

"Good night Mikkeeeee," I sing.

"Good night Maxie," He sings back. I flip him off but I secretly smile without him knowing, I like when calls me that.
