3-Minute Passion (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 3

Your opinions matter to me. xx

"Jaaaaames!"

I rushed towards the kitchen. Is he in pain? I don't know if I can handle that. Red has been this guy at school who doesn't have many friends. He is a reserved guy and I often see him only hanging out with one guy, hus best mate Charles. They are both in to video games that's why it's hard to break through their barriers. They didn't mind when rumors about them being losers spread.

"Oh my God! Red, what the fuck happened?!" i scan the kitchen hoping i won't see him hurt.

He is standing by the counter giving me a confused look. He giggled.

"What? I was calling you to join me for breakfast. Y'know, I am not much of a chef so I have here Cheerios and some granola bars." he offered.

I sigh in relief. Thank goodness he is fine. I remember seeing some lacerations on his wrist. I didn't ask him about it then, but I know he had an argument with his parents then. That's why I have this tendency to worry too much.

I gave him a faint smile and headed towards the counter. He grabs a spoonful of peanut butter and covered it with Cheerios. I gave him a disgusted look, but looked away as he puts the spoon in his mouth. That's disgusting.

I opened a granola bar and took a bite.

"So, what do you want to do? You said you wanted me to help you out with something?" i asked to break the silence.

"Mhm", he mumbles as he nods his head. He gulped.

" Yeah, about that. I was hoping you could help me with some grocery shopping?" he asked. He looks so cute when he raises his shoulder as if he is asking me rather than stating it. 
My eyes widen. He is asking me to go grocery shopping with him. I felt the butterflies again, shit.

"Yeah, sure. Why are you going shopping if you have all these food already?" i asked then I point to their very large two doored refrigerator and through the cabinets that has a lot of cans and chips across.

He smirked at me.

"I don't really like those. I do my pwn groceries. My own parents don't even know what my favorite food is." he said then frowning. I know his favorite, it's chicken Alfredo. His favorite snack is gummy bears. I know all these, because I reviewed his essay about how he describes himself.

I tapped his shoulder. He glanced at me. His blue eyes are even more gorgeous when he shows his vulnerability.

"Why not? Go and get change. I will wait for you in the living room." I said. I don't want to have an emotional conversation with him. It also pains me seeing him like that.

He scooped one last peanut butter and put it in his mouth. I acted like I was going to throw up. He put out his tongue with some peanut butter on it. I pushed him, he laughed then headed upstairs.

I cleaned up in the kitchen and the living room, stacking his pillow and sheets. I know I am only to tutor him, but I can't help it. He is the typical boy who doesn't care how messy things are. I decided to put on my earphones using only one so I can still hear him if he is coming. I opened my Ipod to pick some music. I scrolled through my playlist of Ed Sheeran and decided to go with Photograph. 

I hummed through the music. It puts me in this calm state where I could be at peace, forgetting about all the stress and problems. I just don't want to think about all those since I want to hang out with Red. 

"James?"

I suddenly woke up. I didn't know I fell asleep. Wait, how long was I even asleep? Was he watching me? Oh shit, this is so embarassing.
