The Deal

there you are my little wolf boy

Pov. Storyteller

Trevor was walking down a street with his backpack with notebooks on his back and a note with the address of Derrick's house written down.

- I think I'm close. - Said Trevor as he looked at the house numbers, still feeling a little nervous and excited, he had secretly been attracted to Derrick since the previous year and now he would be closer to him, Trevor was nurturing the expectation that maybe the two could become friends or something more than that.

- Get those things out of your head Trevor, that would never happen. - Trevor said to himself, censoring himself after imagining the possibility of having something with Derrick.

- But he doesn't have a girlfriend. - Trevor said, letting out a sigh.

- But there are a lot of girls who like it. - Said another voice.

- Act naturally Trevor, don't ruin everything, don't let him think you're gay? - Said another voice.

- Wait, I'm not gay or am I? - Said another voice.

- You know what, Trevor, forget it, act naturally and let things happen, if it doesn't work out at least you didn't make a fool of yourself. - Trevor said to himself as he walked around looking for Derick's house.

- If he would just let me touch his belly. - Said Trevor and then shook his head as if he wanted to make those thoughts go away and dissipate like a cloud.

- I think it's here. - Said Trevor when he arrived in front of a house with the number 44 on the door.

There was a garden between the sidewalk and the house and a path made of concrete, Trevor took a deep breath before taking the first step, he was nervous, never before would he be so close to the guy he was crushing on.

- Here we go Trevor! - Trevor said as he walked towards the door of Derrick's house.

Trevor took another three deep breaths of air as his finger approached the doorbell of the house, he stopped for a minute before going ahead and ringing the doorbell of Derrick's house, his mouth was a little dry and his heart was pulsing nonstop just imagining Derrick coming to answer the door, he simply closed his eyes and pressed the doorbell.

The sound of the doorbell echoed throughout the house. Derrick didn't hear the noise because he had a console in his hand playing and sitting on the sofa with headphones in his ear.

Trevor waited a few seconds until he decided to press the doorbell again, but this time Derrick heard it and got up from the couch to go answer the door.

Trevor heard some footsteps approaching the door, his ears were pricked and his heart began to beat again as if they were going to come out of his mouth, his sense of smell got a scent that was familiar to him and it was Derrick and he was getting closer and closer, the door latch turned and the sound of the set of keys moving could be heard.

- Oh Zack, if you come and pull my underwear again I'll kill you. - Said Derrick as he opened the door, still with the headphones around his neck and seeing Trevor in front of him with the backpack on his back, Trevor remained silent without reacting.

- There you are little wolf boy. - Derrick said as he stroked Trevor's head as if Trevor were a child.

- You can come in. - Said Derrick and Trevor entered and followed Derrick to the living room of that minimalist and modern style house. Trevor was a little entertained as he observed all the details of that house that looked a little like a novel he had already read.

The living room is over here - Said Derrick while guiding Trevor and placing his hand on his back, making Trevor a little embarrassed.

Trevor saw Derrick's notebook, pencil and pen thrown on the couch next to an art book.

- You can sit down, if you want I can get a cookie and a soda. - Said Derrick.

- Thank you. - Trevor said, sitting on the larger sofa where Derrick was sitting.

Derrick sat where he was sitting before and put the headphones on his ears and picked up the console, going back to playing call of duty, Trevor noticed that he was wearing pink underwear with polka dots, Derick realized that he was being watched.

- Oh man, don't look at me like that, I'm almost running out of underwear, Zack destroyed almost all my underwear. - Said Derrick

Trevor pricked up his ears and twisted his eyebrows as if he had just heard something absurd or nonsensical.

- You're joking right? - Said Trevor, almost not believing what he had just heard.

- Die! - Said Derrick while shooting an enemy in the game.

Trevor opened his notebook and picked up Derrick's book that was on the couch.

- So, I thought we were going to do homework. - Said Trevor while Derrick continued with the console in his hand, Derrick's ears moved to the side and he looked at Trevor.

- I thought you were going to do my homework. - Said Derrick.

- It's not that difficult. - Trevor said, a little embarrassed seeing that those were very easy questions from the arts class.

- Oh my god, are you serious? - Trevor said to himself.

- All these questions have answers in the book, you could answer them without me. - Said Trevor as he saw Derrick have a serious expression and seem to want to concentrate on the Game.

- Who was Shakespeare? - Said Trevor and Derrick ignored him.

Trevor opened Derrick's notebook and it had some letters that were barely legible.

- Okay, I'll do your homework. - Said Trevor.

- "I'll never set foot here again," - Trevor said to himself as he began to do Derrick's homework.

Trevor leafed through Derrick's notebook and a photo fell on the floor, Derrick saw it fall but didn't seem to care, as if only that call of duty game mattered at that moment.

Curious, Trevor bent down and picked up the photo and saw Derrick and Zack pulling the boy's underwear while they had a smile of pure satisfaction and evil on their faces and the boy had an expression of discomfort.

Trevor was a little shocked by what he had seen, Derrick just had a smile on his face.

- Relax, it won't happen to you - Said Derrick.

- If you do my homework, of course. - said Derrick.

- I already finished and it wasn't very difficult. - Said Trevor.

- You want a soda? Some fries? - Derrick said and Trevor nodded.

- You're a good little brother - Derrick said and Trevor felt his cheeks burn and get hot.

- I'll be right back. - Said Derrick, leaving the room and going to get Trevor a soda and fries.

- Don't look at my underwear, okay? - Said Derrick.

- Okay. - Said Trevor.

Derrick walked Trevor to his house.

- That's my house. - Said Trevor, not looking at Derrick's face.

- Thanks little brother! Come by the house later. - Said Derrick as he patted Trevor's head again and left him feeling helpless.
