Sweet Death [boyxboy]

Chapter Four

Chapter Four (Walter)

It was hard to believe that I had actually glued myself to Julian and his friends.

I used to hate them. They were annoying how they walked around like they didn't give a shit about anyone else or their problems. They acted like they were tough shit, like they had no problem in the world. They talked like they could handle anything.

And for some reason, Julian annoyed me the most.

He was the stereotypical rich pretty boy. He was always following Adam around like a puppy, doing whatever he said. He was so obviously crushing on the guy too before they started dating. The way he looked at Adam like he was the only thing in the world that mattered, and even now, as we stood out in the parking lot with street lamps flickering around us, he was looking at Adam like he was a king.

And all of it was going to Adam's head.

The guy had an ego the size of Texas. Oh yeah, even I had to admit that Adam was a tough cookie. He didn't take bullshit from anyone and he was a hard worker. Once he put his mind to something, he could get it done in a jiffy. He was strong and smart, an incredibly fast learner and it seemed like he always knew the right things to say. He was confident to the point where sometimes, you'd think he was just getting cocky, but he proved you wrong and showed you he could do it. And he was incredibly loyal.

Felisha was always flirting with Adam, and so did a few female customers, but he flat out told them he was dating Julian. He didn't care if people gave him weird looks when he told them he loved Julian, because even the most homophobic son of a bitch wouldn't dare question him considering he was over six feet tall and made entirely of muscle.

And another thing about Adam? Always kept his promises. He promised to pick me up from work at five and he was there on time to take me home. He promised Julian they'd go out for dinner and he'd tell our boss he had prior engagements and the extra cash wasn't worth it.

The guy was the perfect boyfriend, most of the time.

Oh sure, Adam and Julian got into little stupid arguments every so often like an ordinary couple. Maybe Adam hogged all the blankets last night and Julian froze or Adam was too rough with him or he didn't want to walk the two blocks to Subway. Those sorta things, and sometimes, it was the kinda thing that could put everyone's life in danger.

"Just stay here," Adam was saying sternly when I zoned back in, watching him argue with Julian, "Stay with Daimonas and the rest of us will get Hunter. Besides, no offense, Julian, but you can't carry a two hundred pound adult."

"Fuck you," Julian insisted angrily, clenching his fists, "I can to. I carried him before, didn't I?"

"Yeah, and you were practically hyperventilating when we got back."

"Oh, I so was not."

"You were to. This discussion is over. You're staying with Daimonas in the parking lot. Open Seth's car door so we can put Hunter in after. So it's not like you're completely out of the game."

"Ugh!" Julian just threw his hands up in the air in exasperation, but their argument ended there, much to my relief. Julian folded his arms over his chest and leaned against the side of Seth's car while Daimonas sat on the back of the hood, kicking his legs back and forth and trying to take in everything around him.

Daimonas was another weird guy. His skin was completely black. Not dark brown, not brown at all, but pitch black like coal. His hair was as white as snow and fell down his back in long straight locks, matching his long eye lashes and the two sets of horns on his head. I'd never seen two sets of horns before, at all, not even in pictures. Two sat on top of his head like normal horns, then a pair of smaller ones stuck out at the top of his forehead through his hair. All of his teeth were sharp like razors in his mouth, and every so often, he'd stick his two tongues out to lick his lips.
