TROLL the WORLD (boYxboY)

9. A Different Light

There is nothing I can possibly say to justify this chapter, so you're just going to have to read it :P

ENJOY!

NATHAN

“Don’t even,” Mozzy said, then he leant down and kissed me on the lips, taking me by surprise. I blinked. His lips were warm, inviting. My stomach groaned. I don’t know if it was morning hunger or something else, but I wrapped a hand around Moses’ neck and kissed his back.

After a minute he pulled back and looked down at me, stunned.

“Um…” he said, biting his lip. I nodded, sitting up and making him sit back to. I ran a hand through my hair.

“Yeah…” I said. I didn’t know what to say. My best friend just kissed me. I just kissed him back.

We looked at each other, looked away, and then looked back at each other again. We both burst out laughing, rolling back on my bed. I laughed so hard that everything hurt, and Moses gasped for air, sounding like a walrus.

“Oh my god, I can’t believe I kissed you,” he snorted, rubbing his face to relax his cheeks. I did the same, sitting back up.

“I know. What were you thinking?” I chuckled. So he explained the dream he’d just had, the one that had him waking up crying.

I nodded. I completely understood, he’d been swept away in his own emotions. And I’m just a slut who kisses anyone who kisses me. I don’t deny it.

Moses clasped his hands on my shoulders, nodding.

“You have my full consent to be with Tao,” he told me. I smiled, touched.

“Thanks, but Tao can wait. I’ve got to go have a chat with Calvin, just in case, then talk to Jace and try and explain what happened,” I said, getting out of bed. I found pants and a shirt, then pulled on some shoes and headed for the door.

“Are you right if I leave?” I asked Mozz, turning back to look at him still on my bed. He sniffed, rubbed his nose and then sighed.

“Can you stay a little longer?” he asked. I smiled, kicked my shoes off, and jumped on top of him, pinning him to my bed.

“Yes, I can,” I chuckled.

TAO

I was sitting on the stairs leading to the food hall waiting for Nate and Moses to come down for lunch. I wanted to grab Nate and have a chat about yesterday before I lost my nerve. He’d told me he doesn’t like me, which is fair enough, but there was a chance that was just out of anger.

I mean, he kissed me back.

I heard laughter and knew it was them, they appeared at the top of the stairs. Nate stopped when he saw me, faltering. Moses patted his back and smiled at me, walking past me down the stairs and through the double doors into the hall. I was glad they’d made up. Nate came down the stairs slowly, not looking at me. He was about to walk past me when he stopped. He lifted his eyes to mine and I was held frozen under his gaze.

“I talked with Jace,” he said, reaching up and rubbing the back of his neck. I nodded. Jace had slipped my mind. I should apologise to him later. Nate continued, “We’ve decided to just be friends.” I held in my happiness at that. This meant that Nathan was completely free and open.

Could I hope?

“So where does that leave us?” I asked, I had to. Even if he rejected me right here and now, I had to ask. Nathan smiled and moved closer towards me. He grabbed my forearms and pushed me against the wall, then he kissed me. I kissed him back, grabbing onto his head with both hands and tilting mine to reach him better.
