Weird Feelings (Jackson & Deuce Fan-Fic)

Chapter 9

"Deuce?" Jackson asked, concerned. "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Deuce wiped his tears ravenously trying to hide it all. He was falling apart by the second.

"Is it Cleo?" Jackson asked looking back at her, struggling to stand.

"I just have a lot of weird feelings." Deuce said as he looked down, trying to avoid eye contact with him.

"Well," Jackson adjust his glasses, "What are they?"

They sat on the bench outside of the school creepateria.

"I like you Jackson."

"Y-You what?"

"I like you. And Cleo is my girlfriend. I don't know what to do. I feel like she knows I like you... Because of Gil and Clawd!" Deuce stood up in anger and stormed to Clawd.

Jackson followed grabbing Deuces arm but failing to stop him from proceeding. Deuce grabbed Clawd by his collar.

"What the hell is wrong with you?! I thought I could trust you!" Deuce exclaimed.

Clawd pushed him off, " Dude! You can trust me! I didn't tell anyone anything!"

Deuce swung his heavy fist at his face but before he landed the punch, Jackson pushed Clawd away and caught Deuces arms.

"Let's go." Jackson whispered, holding Deuces arms.

Deuce snatched his arms back to himself and walked away toward the gate. Jackson followed close behind.

"Where are you going?"

"Home," Deuce said, hoping the fence, "This is stupid."

"Can I come?"

"Sure. Medusa isn't home. And we can talk about stuff. Clear the air."

Jackson stepped into Deuces house. It was still as warm as the Down South Swamp night. He was nervous for he had ditched school for the first time ever with the boy he adores. The only problem with this was how angry Deuce was.

Deuce was slamming counters and letting out frustrated sighs and Jackson finally felt the need to say something.

"So what if they know?! You're a great monster and you could actually be an inspirational figure to those struggling to come out of the coffin."

Deuce looked at him, calm and intrigued.

"And Cleo?" Jackson hesitant to speak, "If she loves you the way she says she does, she'll accept you and wish you the best-"

"With you?" Deuce finished.

Jackson adjusted his glasses, "Yeah. I mean... I like you too, Deuce."

Jackson was approached by Deuce and he was nervous. Suddenly, they joined in a soft kiss. Initiated by Deuce.

"I can't wait to put this on the Ghostly Gossip!" Spectra yelled with half her body visible from the floor. She flew out of the house.

"Get back here!" Deuce ran after her, but couldn't catch up.

He gave up and cup his head in his hands. Jackson watched from the inside. Soon, Deuce came storming back in.

"I'm sure it'll be okay." Jackson assured Deuce.
