You're Out of Touch, I'm Out of Time

chapter 4- the game of Life

"Board games." He blurted. "What?" Angel spat. "Board games. Do you have board games." He moved his hands as if moving pawns. Angel let a fat smile spread across his face. "Yes! in the cabinet under the t.v." Aki nodded and moved swiftly towards the cabinet. His finger glided across the games. "Let's see..." He stopped on Life. "This should work!" And pulled it out. They sat on the pillows on the dining table and opened the box. They chose their characters and cars and picked which paths they went on. Everything was going well. Angel looked at aki's lips. "Your lips are super chapped." He said aloud. "Oh." Aki said as he slid his finger swiftly across his lips. Angel bit his own lip. And shook his head. Nope. No way. He didnt feel like that. "I've got chapstick, let me get it for you." Angel hopped up and ran to his room. He grabbed a fresh stick, and then set it back down to grab him the used one. I just want to finish this stick first. He thought. He skipped back and handed it to aki. Aki spread the chapstick and set it down. The game continued. Until aki got to the marriage part of the game. "Alright." Aki sighed and pulled another piece from the box. The piece was blue, symbolizing another man. Angel sprung up from his slouch. "Aki, you grabbed a boy. The pink ones are girls." Aki gave it a double take. "Oh, yeah." He said. he hesitated. "I know." He set the piece in his car next to him. Angel was in total shock. He tried to keep his jaw from falling on the floor. "Ah." Angel said. Realization hit him like a truck. Aki.. likes boys? but what about Ms. Makima? He spinned the wheel. He too caught up to the marriage part. He thought about it for a second. maybe im just denying the fact. Angel reached into the box. He looked down. The pink and the blue. And grabbed the blue.
