The Sound that Saved Me (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 10: Halloween

Caspar's PoV:

We just finished the singing lesson, which was pretty productive as Joe told me that I was really improving. Part of me was happy, but part of me wanted this to last longer. I hated being good at this. It meant that after two weeks, not only will I be moving back to my apartment, but it would mean that there will be no more singing lessons. The thought of never being around here, listening to his voice and angry bursts at me whenever I do something silly or wrong. I just.

Oh god no.

When Marcus started talking about Joe that way yesterday, I just wanted to punch something, I was partly jealous, because he was speaking as if he knew Joe more, which is probably the truth but still.

Still.

I made a move on him yesterday based on those thoughts, and I almost kissed him. He didn't pull back, not until that stupid massage he got. And this morning, it was pretty awkward when he talked about the kiss. But I'm glad we got pass that subject. I was flirting like mad, which I need to lower down. The brunette was feeling a bit uneasy, which I quiet get and don't at the same time. What is wrong with a bit of affection? Can't he see that I like him?

Sigh.

Anyway, I was currently getting ready for the Halloween party. Putting on my costume was easy, it was the makeup part that I struggled with, and so I decided to ask Joe for help. I exited my room, and walked to his, knocking on the door.

"What is it?" he replied.

"Can you open your door for a bit? I need help." I pleaded.

I heard shifting, and then footsteps approaching the door. Joe swung the door open,

"What did you do now?" he murmured under his breath.

I gasped a bit at his sight. Joe looked so hot. He was going as the Joker. Joe was wearing a purple blazer, his hair was partly green as his face was covered with white and black colors, which was suppose to be scary, but not on him.

The older boy licked his now, red lips, and said " Caspar?"

"Uh, I need help with makeup. But wow, you look really good!" I blurted, my eyes were as wide as the sun by now.

The shorter boy shook his head, and walked out, "come along" he gestured with his fingers as I walked behind him to the bathroom. He sat me on the toilet seat, and grabbed the face paint from my hand, " stay still."

I smiled up at him " okay."

Joe didn't reply. Instead, he started working with the face paint, furrowing his eyebrows at times and relaxing them at others. I just kept on watching his facial expressions. Joe was voluntarily close to me, his breath tickling my face every now and then, and I didn't mind it at all. He smelled good too.

God, what is he doing to me?

"Done," he said proudly, snapping me back to reality.

I got up from my place and looked at myself in the mirror, "wo-wow! This looks amazing" I then turned to the brunette, " thank you professor. I look like a true vampire!"

He rolled his blue eyes, " okay, now lets leave. Zoe is going to kill me if we made it late."

I laughed, trailing off behind him, " no she wont. She's such a sweet heart."

Joe placed his shoes on with a snort, " no she's not."

I shrugged, " how come?"

He opened the door to the apartment, both of us exiting and walking to the elevator, " because she's my big sister. Big sisters are scary at times."
