Sweet Surrender [MxM]

Chapter 03

 That migraine that had been gone for a full three periods after History?

It was back with a vengeance. During Lunch.

Nathan sighed, attempting to block out Andrea and Justin's conversation, but to no avail. When Justin's voice rose to a screeching pitch, he winced, lowering his head slightly to block out the noises.

"Right, so, the guy broke his pen, and he was kind of mean and scary, but honestly, who breaks an innocent pen like that?" Justin complained. Andrea shrugged slightly.

"You can get sort of annoying. What was he like?"

"Nearly silent. Said his name was Varian or some shit. Weird name if you ask me. Weird name for a weird guy." Justin said with finality, nodding his head and taking a sip of his soda through a straw.

Nathan's food remained untouched before him on the tray, and he couldn't help but notice Justin eying it more often than not.

"Touch my food and I will cut your hand off." Nathan threatened. Justin snorted, leaning back in his chair.

"I can see you took your bitch pills again today. Why do Mondays get you so pissy anyway? You think you'd be happy to get out of that doll house." he mumbled.

Doll house was a bit of an exaggeration. Nathan's house was standard sized- two stories, with the required rooms and a shed. Though quite often since Elle was home alone, she cleaned the entire house so spotless it looked like no one ever lived there in the first place.

It wasn't Nathan's fault if his mother had nothing else to do.

His response was a snort, laying his head down on the table and folding his arms in front of his face, hearing Justin and Andrea go back to their conversation about 'Varian'.

Full thanks to Evan, and lacking any interest in food, Varian settled with pushing his fries around on the tray.

He heard the footsteps behind him before he saw the shadow, and he sighed.

"Can I sit with you?" Evan asked, setting his own lunch down on the table scooting it across so it was facing Varian.

"I don't see why not, you've already set your tray down."

Evan smiled at Varian and slid into the seat across from him. "I just wanted to say thanks. Nobody's ever agreed to that before."

"To put it bluntly, it wasn't for your personal benefit. I was hungry and needed blood. It was from a purely selfish mind."

"It doesn't matter to me if it was selfish or unselfish, I've been wanting to be Changed for a long time."

"Whatever, just don't get used to me doing you favors," Varian said, pushing his tray out of the way.

"If you aren't going to eat those, can I have them?" Evan asked, a sweet smile crossing his lips as he batted his eye lashes dramatically.

"Take them."

"Right, so the woman is going on about Marine Biology, which I obviously don't care about, and the guy's just sitting there, so I tried to talk to him, but no, he's all silent and something about his hair being wavy and not curly!" Justin was still ranting. He sometimes got on long tirades such as these, which Andrea and Nathan tuned out.

Until he yelled, that is.

"There he is! There's that emotionless, heartless bastard!" Justin nearly screamed, pointing across the cafeteria. "Yeah, I'm pointing at you! Whatever your name is! What's your name again?"
