Pretty Boy

Chapter 20

With Adam's moans stuck in my head, it was pretty easy to sleep. But by the time I woke up, I just wanted to hear them again.

I actually managed to go to class now that I was feeling better, but once I reached my first lecture I wanted to go home. "Hachiro." My professor stepped over to me and slammed a hand down on the desk. "You can wander campus but not show up to my class?"

"I was sick." I replied, not bothered much by being singled out. "Ask the nurse if you want."

"I'd rather here it from you. Why were you wandering around if you were so sick?"

"I missed my boyfriend so I went to see him."

People started to stare at me. When I looked up at her face, I could see she was shocked. "Relationship's shouldn't be put over your well being."

"Thanks but you aren't my mother. Don't you have a lecture to teach? You're wasting your time bugging me about thin that aren't important anymore. I feel better now, so you can let me work in peace."

After class quite a few girls ran over to me and bombarded me with questions. "Do you really have a boyfriend?"

"Yeah."

"Aw! That's so cute! Who is he?"

"Why do you care?"

"It's natural that guys like you draw attention." Elise spoke to me during our lunch break. "Standing up to a professor made them notice you so they're curious. It'll die down soon."

"I feel like everyone is staring at me."

"Everyone is." Adam sat beside me. "I didn't want the girls to bombard you so I got you some bread from the snack bar myself."

"Thanks."

"What did you two do when I left yesterday?"

"We slept." Adam and I replied at the same time.

"Adam's blushing. You two are lying." She smiled.

"What about you? Masturbate furiously to gay porn?" He shot back.

"This conversation is over." She sighed and drank her milk, frowning.

"I didn't think mentioning Adam would be so exhausting." I leaned my head against Adam's shoulder. "I knew it would get attention but not good attention."

"The girls are just horny and interested in you because you're hot." Elise set her milk down. "It'll die down."

"But they know I have a boyfriend."

"Doesn't mean they aren't interested."

One of the girls from class walked over and sat beside Elise, leaning over the table to talk to me. "Is this your boyfriend?"

"Yeah." Adam replied before I could, glaring at her. "What's up?"

"I'm here too." Elise groaned.

When classes ended, Adam and I went out to walk around campus. He stayed on his skateboard the whole time, taking about his day and his favorite foods. Turns out he's actually really into sweets.

"How do you skate so easily?"

"Want me to teach you?" He asked happily, smiling and turning to face me since he was a bit ahead. His board was still moving.

"That's not necessary."

"You'd look good on a board." He turned away, flinching when his board went off the pavement and into the street.

"Adam!" I ran after him since he fell onto the ground. He laughed.

"I'm okay, don't worry."

He got up and walked over to his board, bending down to pick it up. It only took a few seconds for him to stand back up and turn his head at the sound of a car.

As soon as it hit him, he was on the ground and my ears were ringing. I yelled for him but my voice sounded muffled in my ears, watching him lay unconsciously on the ground. Blood pooled around his head as the driver jumped out of the car and ran over to him. "Is this your friend?"

"He's my boyfriend!" I ran over and picked Adam up in my arms. "Grab his board and drive us to a hospital."

The car ride was pretty awkward, listing to the stranger profusely apologizing. "I'm so sorry! I should have been paying more attention!"

"It was an accident."

Adam wasn't out long, waking up before we even got to the hospital and looking confused as to why we were with someone he didn't know. He sat up and stared at the man. "Who are you?"

"Just a secretary who accidentally hit you with his car." He sighed. "I'm really sorry by the way."

"My head hurts." He groaned, holding a hand to the side of his head. His eyes widened, quickly holding the hand in front of his place and eyeing the blood on it. "Ah! I'm bleeding!"

"We're taking you to a hospital."

At the hospital Adam wouldn't shut up. I watched the nurses bandage his head and arms, listening to him talk their ear off about the experience. "I was just skating and I fell, right?"

"Yeah?" She asked, amused.

"I went to grab my board and BAM! Blackness!"

"Wow! That sounds scary. Are you going to sue the guy?"

"Haha! No way, he was super nice about it! He's even waiting for me since he was worried!"

"Accidents like this happen with skaters all the time." She stepped back and smiled. "You should be more careful. Your head's gonna hurt pretty bad but I can ask them to get you a prescription for pain meds."

"You're so nice! You know, Shuji's actually a nursing major!"

She looked over to me, as I sat in a chair and blankly stared at Adam. "Really? It's difficult isn't it?"

"A lot harder than I expected it to be. But my mom helps since she just got through it. "I replied. "How'd you manage?"

"I studied every spare second."
