Destined (boyxboy & boyxgirl)

Chapter 9: Clarity

Jayden didn't know what to expect when his grandma told him they were in Felix's head. In all honesty, he had expected to see a bunch of naked supermodels dancing and grinding while Felix sat on a throne of sluts. You could only imagine his surprise when he saw that they were in the middle of a giant meadow.

The meadow was spacious and endless. Vivid green pasture decorated the whole floor. Flowers of different shades dotted and decorated the meadow with their vibrant colors. Splashes of blue and purple jumped out but didn't dull the fiery reds of the the roses or the soothing purple of the hydrangeas.

"It's beautiful," Jayden whispered. Felix smiled warmly, gazing around.

"It's where my grandpa used to take me when I visited him in Italy," Felix seemed to go into a trance, his eyes glazing over. "Before he died from cancer," he whispered. Jayden thanked God that everyone had decided to explore the large meadow because he felt that Felix didn't want just anyone hearing this.

"I'm so sorry," Jayden wrapped his arms around Felix and hugged him tightly. Though he could barely wrap his arms around Felix's large muscles, he could still feel Felix's heartbeat.

"It's okay," Felix stroked Jayden's hair gently, "It happened a while ago. Back when I was ten," Jayden nuzzled his face into Felix's chest and breathed his scent in. It was a delicious mix of cologne and mint. "Come on, I wanna show you something," he grinned. He took Jayden's hand and pulled him towards a group of large trees.

Glancing around, Jayden spotted Austin watching them jealously. A deep sigh escaped his lips, this feud between them had to stop. And yet, a small part of him didn't want it to stop. He loved the feeling of being an object of desire. He loved the feeling of being wanted. And as pathetic as it sounded, he loved the idea of two guys fighting over him.

"What's wrong," Felix broke Jayden's selfish thoughts.

"Nothing," he said simply. "Just thinking of my two lovers," he joked. It was supposed to be a light joke but as soon as he said it, Felix glared at Austin coldly. "I was just joking," Jayden whispered. Felix nodded.

"I know," he murmured. "It's just," Felix seemed deep in thought. "You'll have to pick eventually, Jayden," he placed his hands on either side of Jayden's face.

"Felix-" Felix shook his head.

"I'm not saying you have to choose now, Jayden," he said sadly. "And I'm not saying you have to pick me. But when it comes down to it, one of us is going to get hurt," Jayden was silent. Felix's beautifully blue eyes penetrated his. They were filled with hope and longing, their irises begging Jayden to kiss him.

"I.... don't know," whispered Jayden, because he didn't. He had no idea what he was feeling for the two boys who were falling for him. Jayden knew he was falling too, he just didn't know whose arms he was falling into. Felix nodded sadly.

"I know you don't," he rested his forehead on Jayden's. "Just know I won't hate you even if you choose him," Jayden's amber eyes were wide and conflicted. Felix smiled. "Come on, I still want to show you something," Felix took Jayden's small hand in his large one and walked out into a large clearing.

The floor was made of golden pasture, the sun gleaming off it. Beautiful flowers sprouted from the golden grass, dancing and swaying in the meadow's wind. Bright sunflowers decorated the meadow in groups of three or five. Tulips added mesmerizing colors of pink and orange. The golden grass wasn't what caused Jayden to gasp. It was what was in the air.

Besides the butterflies and birds in the air, floated bubble-like orbs. They were each about the size of a basketball and floated around the large clearing, glittering and shining in the sunlight. When one orb collided with another, a beautiful butterfly sprouted from their contact. When an orb landed on the ground, colorful flowers sprouted from where it made contact.
