Angel Eyes (COMPLETED)

Chapter 20 - As it Was

Friday - Chris' POV

I feel like complete shit. If I had known that by exposing Courtney I'd have the wrath of hell unleashed upon me, maybe I would have reconsidered.

Chris woke up with his eyes burning and his mouth as dry as the Sahara desert. He rubbed his eyes until the burning sensation went away and leaned over to his nightstand to grab his hydro flask so he could refresh himself and quench his thirst. As the cold water made its way down Chris' throat, he glanced down at his phone with a hesitant look. He's been receiving threats, you know. Even with the evidence he supplied, it wasn't good enough for some people. Now they want him dead. Usually when things like this happen you would get your boyfriend to defend your honour, but Chris hasn't told David. Why? Fuck knows. Guess he wants to fight his own battles for once. He felt even more guilty over not telling David about what was happening when just yesterday they had that talk over sharing feelings. He didn't like lying to people, but at the same time, he didn't want David to have to worry about this stuff.

Chris let out a refreshing sigh and placed his bottle back down on the nightstand beside his phone. He shuffled around in bed so he was now sitting up against the wall as he glanced down at his boyfriend. It really was something special, waking up to see a big, muscular, handsome jock laying in your bed knowing he won't leave you once he wakes up. Who knows if David would have stuck around if they had sex on the day he asked for it? No, Chris didn't like that thought. It didn't matter anyway. What mattered is that David was here and he wasn't going anywhere.

He stretched out a hand to gently caress David's face as small breaths escaped from his mouth. He always looked so peaceful and never bothered. I mean, would you be bothered when you were a gorgeous popular jock with big muscles? God knows I wouldn't.

Chris played with a stray curl in David's hair before his hands trailed down his face to gently poke his lips. As he fidgeted with his boyfriends face, David took the finger into his mouth and started to nibble on it which made Chris jump.

"Ah! You bastard." He pried his finger out from David's mouth and gave it a gentle shake to wave away the fake pain and the saliva.

"What are you doing?"

"I was only touching you. You look really pretty when you're sleeping."

"Well, how about we fool around a little? Then you can touch me all you want." David rolled over and straddled Chris, leaning down to plant kisses on his neck while his hands wandered around his body.

"How about we skip school today? Then we've got the entire day to fool around." David retreated from Chris' neck to stare down at his lover in both confusion and surprise.

"You want to skip? Why? What's wrong?"

"It's not that something's wrong. I'm just not really feeling it today, y'know?"

"Sure... we could skip. But we've got that test in English today, and aren't you trying to be Valedictorian? Wouldn't skipping affect your GPA?"

"Shit, you're right. Fuck it. Let's get dressed." Chris slipped out from under David and got out of bed to head into the bathroom. David sat in bed for a moment to think before also getting out of bed to follow Chris so he could latch onto him.

"Hey, if you really want to skip then we can? One day won't hinder you. You'll bounce back quicker than you think. Now what's bothering you?"

Chris finished brushing his teeth and sighed after spitting the paste into the sink. "I don't know. I just feel kind of guilty after Wednesday. I know it's been two days, but I just can't shake the feeling that something's gonna happen."
