I'd Risk My All (Olegie and Sebryan from NSB)

38. as long as you're asleep

Darren wasn't fine.

He knew he wasn't fine when he and Justin got into their first actual argument, and it was over Darren accusing Justin of cheating. Cheating accusations never felt good to be, well, accused of, but it happened.

And Justin, being the blend of nonchalance and emotional, gave Darren a mixed read, and it completely fucked him over.

He wasn't able to tell if Justin was lying or not, and so he eventually gave up, and just slept in the living room, and he's been doing that for nearly a week, and it left Justin feeling like complete and utter shit.

But the main takeaway from this was that Kane had been missing for a long time now. And he wasn't sure he was comfortable with that, everyone else seemed to have forgotten about him in a quick second, which was proof that their attention span was the same as a fruit fly's life span. 

Short.

He called the astrology girl, the one that had partially been the reason why he and Kane had split up.

"Hey, what's up?" She asked.

"Uhm this is Darren...Darren Liang "

"...Okayyy...What'd you call for?"

He took in a deep breath, exhaled, "I was wondering if you knew anything on Kane? Like, where he's been the past few days?"

"Before I answer your question, what are you to Justin?"

"I'm his boyfriend." He answered with confidence.

Although, the reply he got wasn't the best.

"He never mentioned having a boyfriend... Oh well, must've forgotten." 

Forgotten...

How would Justin forget about him when he...

...why would he?...

Darren could lie and say that it didn't hurt, but it hurt. A lot more than it should've and Darren hated that, because it meant that Justin would sooner or later run over his train of thought, and to give someone that much power over yourself was like surrendering your life to a natural disaster.

But back to the conversation with the astrology witch girl.

"He...Okay, thank you, where is he?"

"Why the hell would I know?"

"I would assume you know since you two have been close...awfully too close for my liking, but it doesn't matter, but uhm, yeah thank you. Have a good day!" He politely said before ending the call.

"You too."

He didn't know what else to do now, but to keep on looking for Kane.

He went ahead and walked to his car, and got in, preparing himself to look for the man they called Kane, or better known in his case, his ex-boyfriend.

He drove around the block, and stopped at a coffee shop, he walked in, and ordered his coffee, sitting down and drank, contemplating as to where Kane could be.

That was before a certain familiar mixed African American boy came into his view.

"Why, hello there." He said.

"Uhm ... Hi?"

"Don't be shy, I don't bite."

"..."

"That is, unless you want me to?"

"I uhm..."

"Kidding, I have a boyfriend of my own, his name's Armando. Fine as hell, anyways," He said with a charismatic smile, "Oh! Oops forgot to introduce myself. The name's Davahn." He said with that smile.
