Gay Is the Way [BoyxBoy]

Chapter 24 - Deeper Turmoil

I stayed home from school today. This was one of the few times I've ever stayed home from school and I had to lie to my mommy again. She even stayed home a little while to take care of me yesterday and I felt bad that I faked being sick.

James came over to see me today too and he showed so much affection. He skipped school to spend the day with me and everything. I couldn't look him in the eye half the time because of what happened.

If I really pulled through, I could've went to school today. I just couldn't go and see him.

What Nathan did was unspeakable. He left me on the bathroom floor after he humiliated me.

I felt like I had my innocence snatched away from me. My body felt sore still and hurt in certain areas when I moved. Thank god that I didn't have to go to the hospital because the truth would have leaked out.

But I was ok. I was getting better.

"Baby do you need anything?" He stroked the insides of my hands with his fingers.

I shook my head and then he kissed my forehead. "I hate seeing my boy all sick." He stared me in the eyes and my heart jogged in my chest. "Thank you James." I smiled and he pulled me in for another kiss.

"What time will my mother-in-law be back?" He grinned. I blushed and my eyes widened tremendously.

"Uh-uh-I-I-I..." Listening to myself stammer like that made me even more anxious. He didn't take his eyes off mine and continued to stare aimlessly.

"N-not until a c-couple of...hours." I tried not to move because my body still hurt; although I had a little more flexibility then yesterday. James laughed out loud and climbed in the bed with me after he took off his shoes and jacket.

"You so damn adorable in my arms." He wrapped his arms around my body and gripped my side.

I moaned in pain as he got a hold of my torso. It burned so bad and I immediately slammed my eyes shut. "Snowflake I'm so sorry. Did I hurt you?" He loosened his grip and curses under his breath.

I opened my eyelids and gazed up at him. "Yeah, I'm ok. Just sore I guess." I chuckled.

I laid in his arms letting the countless minutes go by. We took pictures in bed and I had to admit it was kinda cute that we did that. The bruising headache I had faded into a sharp pain in between my eyes. My vision got blurry and my pupils became highly irritant to the light. Oddly the pain from earlier was way worse than this so I didn't complain much.

"What will your momma think of me when she finally sees me?" He asks out of the blue. I ponder and get stuck because I honestly didn't know. My mom for one is very unpredictable but my best bet is that she will see that James makes me happy.

"Hopefully she will see how h-happy you make me." I answer with a big smile. He bites his lip and nuzzles my nose. "I just need to meet her so I can tell her that I love you Aiden. I want her to know how you make me feel and how much of a better person you cause me to be."

That was so heartwarming and sweet. The butterflies in my stomach were going crazy over him. I nodded my head and gave him a kiss.

"And try talking slower baby." He says out of concern. I look at him and he gives me this look that I immediately submit to. "Yeah I know. I'm trying to work on it." I reply. My stuttering is so sudden and at the same time so annoying. Aside from being nervous or scared, I manage to stutter when I'm around James sometimes. Its weird.

"But I don't care because either way you still sound cute as fuck." He chuckles.

"Stop James." I laughed while covering my face.
