Keeper of The Lost Cities: Kam's beginning

Chapter 10: Tam

(EDIT: I noticed it said it was in Keefe's POV, but I wrote it in Tam's, and fixed that just now. Sorry. heh.) 

Sometime during the night, Tam had fallen asleep, even though he didn't remember closing his eyes. But now, he woke up in his bed, with sunlight streaming through his window. And he could feel something holding his hand... "Um, I'm taking this back!" Tam said, slipping his hand away from Keefe's grip. He climbed out of bed, only looking over his shoulder when he heard the sheets ruffle, seeing Keefe had turned over in his sleep. Tam scoffed, then rolled his eyes, and headed to the bathroom. When he looked at himself in the mirror, he almost lost his cool. All over his neck, and even his shoulders and arms, he had these purple bruises, as if he'd injured himself. "Wait... No, wha... How.... When...?" He had so many questions in his head, he didn't know where to start. All he knew was that he needed to hide these bruises before Tiergan saw him, or worse, Linh. He went to his closet, changed into the usual black tunic and gray pants, with black boots, and brushed his hair, cleaned his teeth, etc. Suddenly, the memories from last night came back, each one more surprising than the last. "You've gotta be kidding me..." He just hoped Keefe would remember... "Bangs boy?" Tam pushed his feelings of embarrassment and regret and shame down. Now wasn't the time for that. "I told you not to call me that." He said, walking into his room, and finding the blonde awake on the bed, sitting up. Mrs. Stinkbottom was clutched in his left hand, and he was rubbing his eye with the other, looking like a drowsy, little kid. It was kinda cute, actually. Keefe smirked. "Did I get on your nerves?" Tam rolled his eyes, muttering a simple, "No." Then, the smirk vanished, replaced with a confused squint. "Why can't I remember what happened last night?" This, for the most EMBARRASSING reason, was a huge victory for Tam.

(A/N: Sorry for the wait, but I took a shmall break over the weekend, and here's the next chapter! I don't know if I can post tomorrow, cause o' school, but I'll try to get at least ONE chapter in. Note that I said I'll try and not I promise. Anyway, I hope you all are enjoying this!)
