Chapter 6: A Bubbly Breakfast

Aonung's pov

     "Bro, is there something wrong? You haven't said something in the past 5 minutes." Rotxo pointed out while we loaded up our plates with food.
     "No, nothings wrong. My throat has been hurting recently." I couldn't just tell Rotxo that I kissed a freak, basically made out with one. He would hate me.
     He patted my back and began to eat the food that was piled on the plate in front of him. I couldn't eat, the image of Neteyam kissing me replayed in my head. It was a new sensation to me, I couldn't take my mind off it. It was just a mistake, I'm guessing he didn't mean to kiss me. I wish it wasn't though, I wanted him pressing his lips against mine to be a normal thing. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘮 𝘐 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨? 𝘐 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘬𝘪𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯, 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥.
     I suddenly felt a nudge on my shoulder. It was Tsireya. She signaled for me to look at something, and when I looked her way I saw that she was directing me to a girl. I felt a slight pain in my heart, I haven't told anyone about me and Neteyam so Tsireya wouldn't even know but it still hurts. I'm always disappointing my family but if they found out I kissed a boy, I don't know what they'd do. Lock me up till I was "out of my faze"? Most likely something like that, I couldn't even blame them. I snapped back into reality.
     "What about her?" I turned my head to my sister.
     "Well, isn't she pretty?" She smirked at me, suggesting that I go talk to her.
     "Yeah, I guess. I don't even know who she is though." I told her, trying to get out of the situation.
     "So go talk to her and get to know her!" Tsireya pushed me out of my seat and up to the girl.
     At the worst moment possible, the whole freak show walked in, including Neteyam. His bright optics looked at me and the girl, staring at me with sorrow in his eyes. I looked at him, giving an "It's not what it looks like!" look. He turned his head and walked with his family. That dickhead was so stubborn. I looked back at the girl who was full of confusion.
     "Sorry, my sister wanted me to talk to you but." I didn't give her a chance to respond, so I walked to Rotxo and Tsireya.
     "What happened, man? Chicken out?" Rotxo stifled a laugh.
     "I don't even like her, nor do I know who she is." I couldn't keep my eyes off Neteyam. It seemed like he couldn't do the same for me. Our eyes met each other constantly. I signaled for us to go somewhere more private, but it would be sort of suspicious if we both left at that time. I had the perfect plan to get away from everyone.
     "Hey, tree boy. How's the Ilu treating you, down to race?" I looked at him, waiting for him to play along.
     "Is that even a question? I'll beat your ass anytime." He smiled at me and got up from his seat, I quickly followed. Once we were out of sight it was safe to talk.
    "I'm so sorry, Aonung. I didn't want things to end up like this." Neteyam looked as if he were going to start sobbing.
    "I'm sorry too, I missed you a lot and I couldn't keep my mind from thinking about you. " I felt regret as I told Neteyam my feelings. He didn't feel the same, he probably doesn't even like boys. Maybe he just wanted to try it out.
     "Look, I have no clue if your bull shitting me but I like you. You're still an asshole though." I told him, I wanted him to like him as much as I liked him. It seemed too good to be true.
     "Of course, I'm not bull-shitting you, Skxawng." He chuckled as he said those words, the blush on his face was burning brighter. I didn't want to break the silence or eye contact we were both experiencing.
     "C'mon, let's go back inside." I pecked his cheek and my way into the view of Rotxo, sitting down next to him.
     "You win the race bro, with you and Neteyam?" Rotxo questioned me.
     I had a slight blush on my face as he asked me that, it was barely noticeable though.
     "Of course I did, I would never lose to someone like him," I smirked at my answer, I had at least won something, Neteyam's heart.
