Tutor Me, Jock? {BoyxBoy}

It's been awhile.

Today Christian was going to tutor me again, for the first time since he kissed me.

I didn't really know if I was ready but I really wasn't ready for Christian to approach me in school.

He began to ask me where we would meet and I couldn't help but notice the attention we were getting. It wasn't everyday that the jock stopped in the hallway to talk to the 'nerd'.

I stopped listening to him when I noticed Jesse start to take interest, "And what are you two fags talking about?"

I instantly saw Christian's face twist in distaste, "That's not a nice word, Jesse." He slowly turned to face him.

"So I've heard." Jesse replied.

The last thing I wanted was a fight to break out, again. But this time there were people around, just waiting anxiously for one of them to snap.

I placed my hand on Christian's shoulder, hoping that he would take the gesture as a sign to let it go.

Jesse took a step closer, "Back off Jesse." Christian seethed.

Christians irritation only made Jesse more excited, "Why, do you not want me touching your boyfriend?" Jesse asked reaching for me.

Before I could do anything, I felt Christian's shoulder tense and my hand slipped from his shoulder before Christian punched Jesse right on the jaw.

His head flew back but he recoiled quickly and threw a punch at Christian which he just barely missed.

I wanted them to stop but I couldn't do anything. I let out a sigh of relief when Sam got between them.

Sam pushed Jesse into the lockers and pushed a seething Christian outside into the parking lot.

I followed behind but I didn't stick around, I walked to my car and drove home.

An hour later I got a text from Christian,

You still up for tutoring?

I was taken back, it was almost like he was acting like he didn't just get in a fight.

Umm, sure

I replied and he texted that we would meet at the cafe and I headed over there.

Once I got there Christian was already waiting in a booth, his notebook and text book laying on the table.

"You ready to start?" He asked will a smile.

I gave him a confused look but nodded. As I sat down I saw his cracked knuckles, I knew he got them from the punch he threw. But he was acting as if it didn't happen.

I looked at his eyes and saw a purple tint forming around it, "He hit you? I didn't even see that."

He shrugged, "It's nothing, he hits like a pansy. So you ready for notes?"

"Could you stop trying to ignore this, you looked out for me so I'm trying to make sure your okay." I huffed, then my eyes widened slightly in realization, I actually said that. I was starting to accept his caring for me.

Christian gave me a look almost as if saying you care?

"So, where's your journal?" He asked ignoring me.

"Don't make me say it again. I'm finally starting to accept you caring about me. Please answer my question. Are you okay?"

He sighed, "I'm fine Atticus, lets stop talking about it and get on with tutoring. Okay?" He cracked a smile at the end.

"Fine." I huffed.

We went on with tutoring, acting like everything was normal.

Once we were done and we were packing up Christian suggested, "Do you mind if I walk you home?"

"Um, no." I finally said.

With that he walked me home we were silent the whole time but it wasn't an awkward silence, for once.

Once we were at my porch Christian was looking at me and I was looking at him and I couldn't help but think that if we were together, Christian would be leaning down and he would give me a sweet kiss before I walked in.

But we weren't together.

I smiled, "Same time tomorrow?"

Christian nodded.

I don't know what I was thinking but before he walked off and I walked in, I placed a small kiss on his cheek, then scurried into the house before he could say or do anything in response.
