Closeted Pleasure

7- A taste of Stuyvesant High School

I woke up to the sound of cars beeping on the road right outside my room. 'New York...it's not a dream after all' I thought as I sighed and got up. The light illuminating my room was not from my bedside lamp but from the window. As I walked towards it, I smiled, this view....I will never get tired of looking at this view, It was amazing, magical even. This is what happiness feels like.I smiled to myself again and went to my walk-in closet, YES! I have a walk-in closet! Similar to Bruno's and it was awesome. "Bruno" I sighed looking down....god I miss him, I wonder how his doing, I hope better than me. I looked at my phone before entering the closet; 7:45AM..."wonder what time it is for Bruno" I muttered to myself as I pressed the weather app to check Russia's clock; 3:45pm "lucky bastard" I chuckled as I quickly dialed his number.

A few beeps went by and I heard his angel voice that made my heart flatter from joy as I smiled like an idiot "Good morning sunshine" he said with a slight smile that I could tell he had from the tone of his voice "morning to you too" I said as I put him on speaker and walked in the closet; "How's New York?" he said and I sighed a little making it accidentally audible "what's wrong angel?" he said with worry on his voice, "I miss you so much Bruno" I said tearing up a little as I took my shirt off to change. He sighed too "me too V" he said, his voice now...sad and too painful to listen to. "It's 7am here and I'm getting ready for school" I said to change the subject and the gloomy mood that was radiating between us. "That's great, what's the school's name?" he asked, his voice now normal, soothing and slightly deep as always. "Uhh Stuyvesant High School" I said putting on my flannel shirt and my jean jacket.

He chuckled and I smiled "what is it?" I said curious about why is he chuckling like a hyena. He giggled "your Russian accent came out trying to pronounce Stuyvesant" he said and started laughing again and I soon joined him too, both laughing our asses off, same tone too making the atmosphere joyful and less anxious, at least for me; I put on my jeans and shoes and got out of the closet, phone in hand.

"We have a roommate by the way" I said getting my bag and connecting my phone to my wireless handsfree "wow really? Is he hot?" he said trying to test me about my love for him which was ridiculous "yeah he is but his my mother's age so you can stop with the love tests now" I chuckled as he giggled playfully "I'm joking angel, you know I trust you with my life" he smiled and I blushed "yeah yeah I know" I answered rolling my eyes as I walked out of my room. "So, what's his name?" he asked; "Matthew but Mateo for short" I said as I started making coffee to take it with me "wooow! His Latino?" he answered surprisingly very excited to hear about him like I was. "Yeah, and his such a great guy, he loves my mom very much and I hope they will rekindle their college love" I said as I poured my coffee in a thermos mug and closed it. "Always hopeless romantic huh" he laughed and I smiled slightly "always and forever" I said and paused for a while to look around the kitchen and living room.

No one was here so I guess Mateo and my mom are still sleeping "V? Are you okay?" he asked as I blinked coming back to reality "yeah I was just checking to see if anyone was home or awake, I got to go, wish me luck" I said as I grabbed my keys and walked out of the apartment "you don't need it love, just be yourself" he said, his voice now filled with so much love that made my heart pound and flatter "aww thank you, I'll call you tonight" I said walking towards the elevator "you better" he chuckled and I smiled "promise, I love you" I said walking in the elevator and pressing the ground floor. "I love you more" he said and hanged up, leaving me alone in the elevator, just me and my thoughts.
