misjudged the notion of love

keeping my eyes open

Going home, mew went inside, to see his father asleep to his chair, to then step forth to look to the side to see his mother in the kitchen, he then went in to sit, to grab his pack of cigarettes from his back pocket, to place to the table to then lit one.
His mother signed has she was to the stove to make food, to then turn to eye.
"Mew.... We've talked about this."
"Mm, we have also talked about you throwing out that abusive low down...."
She made a face to then look down to turn.
"Maybe if you didn't like the company of men, your father wouldn't...."
Mews eyes widened, to then take a long drag from his cigarette to then get up to leave.
Outside, he sat to the porch to keep smoking to look ahead of himself to shake his head.
So..... My father hitting me and you is because I prefer men..... Okay.....
Mew took a deep breathe to then take a long drag of his cigarette, to then flick it to then retrieve his phone.
"Mew? Are you okay? Just dropped you off."
Mew closed his eyes to grit his teeth.
"It's.... Um...."
"Oh..... You stay outside, I'm coming back. I'll call my parents and let them know you'll be staying with us for awhile."
Mew signed.
"Kirka.....I don't need to stay...."
"Yes you do, I'm coming back. Wait for me."
Mew nodded to hang up the phone to then get up to walk, kirka was there before him in his car with the door open, mew smiled and wide to then get in.
Kirka nodded to then drive them back to his house, mew turned his head to eye.
"Are your parents okay with this?"
Kirka nodded has he drove.
"They adore you mew, dont worry. Just..... When gulf knows about this, don't let him...."
Mew shrugged to look out the window.
"I won't care what he says, just happy to get out of that situation, before...."
Kirka turned his head to eye to then look to the road.
"He didn't.... Hit you again did he?"
Mew took in a deep breathe.
"Not.... This time...."
Kirka nodded to drive them back to his house.
Parked, they both got out, to see gulf come about in his track uniform, he eyed them has they were before him.
"What is he doing back? And kirka did you forget? You have to drive me to my meet. Dad and mom can't be there, they have to work."
Kirka took in a deep breathe to eye gulf to step to him to place a hand to his shoulder.
"Mew is going to come with us and you are going to be on your best behivor."
Gulf signed heavily to then shrug his beers hand away to eye mew to then roll his eyes.
"Whatever then, let's go!"
Gulf went about a bit peeved.
Mew and kirka turned to watch him go.
"Mm, maybe I should stay here."
Kirka shook his head to then place his hand to his shoulder, they looked to another.
"No, now come on."
Kirka gave a pat to then go forth, mew took in a deep breathe to then go in.
The ride was in silence, they then got to the track field for gulf to lean forward.
"Remember to be in the first row."
Kirka turned his head to nod.
"Of course."
Gulf then looked to mew.
"But you go to the far back."
"Gulf!"
Mew rolled his eyes.
Gulf looked to him.
"I mean that."
He then got out to go to the track field.
Kirka turned his head to watch gulf go.
"Mew....I really am...."
Mew placed his hand to his, Kirka turned his head to eye.
"Don't worry.... I'm used to it."
Kirka smiled and wide to then eye mew.
"You really have a great heart and a good head on your shoulders for what you have to deal with."
Mew took his hand off to shrug.
"Thank you, now come on. Let's be there for the homophobic brat."
They both shared in a laugh to then get out, to go to the track field.
Going to the first row together, they sat to try to find gulf, mew spotted him to then get kirkas attention, they both watched has he did some high jumps with the others to then fall on his butt to then laugh has they helped him back up.
Mew made a face to then roll his eyes.
Why can't he always be that happy? Why does he have to be such a prick to me? Is it because I don't care who knows I'm gay while he hides it?
Mew signed to turn his head to watch Kirka eye his brother with a bright smile.
Mew shook his head to look forward.
Kirka then got up to go to the edge to eye has gulf and the others went to the track to set up.
Mew then went to do the same, he then eyed gulf, to follow his gaze.
Tiru was to the other far side with his hand raised to make an uncomfortable face to wave to gulf.
Gulf smiled and wide to then look to his brother to then let his smile disappated when he saw mew, he then rolled his eyes to then shake his head. Mew witnessed that to roll his eyes to then watch has the starter started to count down.
Gulf then moved his butt up has did the other to then race off.
Mew widened his eyes to watch him go.
"You're brother seems to be getting faster."
Kirka nodded.
"He trains a lot. Hope he wins, go gulf!"
Kirka yelled after him.
Mew watched has gulf rounded to go again about the track, he was in the lead, he then turned his head to look to tiru, he had his head hung to keep that face.
Mew then made a decision about something.
He then went to kirkas ear.
"I have to go to the bathroom, I'll be back."
Kirka leaned his head back.
"But we haven't seen if gulf will...."
"Sorry, I have to go. I'll be back."
Kirka face fell a bit to then turn his head to then nod.
"Hurry back."
Mew shrugged to then go.
Not like your brother wants me here any way.
Mew then made his way to tiru, who turned his head to eye.
"Oh mew.... Hi..."
"Hi.... Um....I.... Wanted to talk to you."
Tiru widened his eyes.
"Oh?"
"Mm, I saw..... You and gulf in the kitchen and.....I know what you to are planning to do."
Tiru widened his eyes to then look to the track field has gulf came running to then hunch himself over to breathe hard with a wide smile, he won.
"Listen.... Gulf is very much on the down low and....I know how he treats you, but can you please not say anything."
Mew wrapped his arms about to eye tiru.
"That's not why I'm talking to you, I really don't care, what I care for is how you have been acting. You.... Don't love him.... Do you?"
Tiru made a face to then turn his head to then eye.
"I.... Care for him very deeply it's just.... We have only been together for 2 months romantically and....."
Mew stepped closer.
"But your not in love with him."
Tiru signed to grip the edge of the beam to then hang his head to shake it.
"No..... I'm so sorry.... I'll go tell him now and...."
Has tiru started to go forth, mew went to him to wrap an hand to his wrist, the two stared at the other.
"Now.... Just wait a minute....I have something in mind for gulf."
Tiru widened his eyes to mews smirk to then turn his head to eye a very happy gulf.
What.... Is mew thinking about for you gulf?
