our grand adventure

chapter 9

The walk home was silent and boring, the light was beginning to leave me. What a way to celebrate a birthday, a fight. One damn fight over one damn thing that was lame.

"SURPRISEEEEE" I heard as I walked in alone. It was the entire team at proxiferin Dr. Apollo, Emily, Dan, John, Jessie, and Mrs. Thompson all with smiling faces waiting to see the man of the hour, but he wasn't here "Where is Jason" Aaron said from being John who was holding a cake. I looked coldly at him, "Jason, the man you want to see, is not coming tonight. We had a fight, and I kicked him out." The smiling faces were slowly dropping from happiness to some with anger, but others with pity looks. "Oh honey! I'm so sorry." Mrs. Thompson said as she walked over to me to give me a hug. "and on his birthday too, what a rude slut" Emily said with a look of annoyance, but DR. Apollo gave her a stern look, but Emily would not stop "You know, Jason deserved better than a whore, who looks like a slut in the lab even without her slutty clothes that get all the men hard. Go fuck someone and stop bothering my boyfriend whom I had more sex with than you'd ever have, and let me tell you this; It was the greatest sex ever, that man surely can fuck, but I guess you'll never know" I looked down am I really a slut? I asked myself. What's wrong with me? I haven't worn a dress to the lab since the first day, I've really only ever worn jeans and a shirt. I slowly released myself from Mrs. Thompsons arms "You're right Emily." I said, and her face dropped lower than you would ever see it. "I'm what?" she asked with a look of shock "right, you are a slut, who cheats around with all the men in the lab, if John were straight, you'd let him fuck you." John turned to Dr. Apollo who was right next to him and started to walk towards me and probably say something like "don't be rude", but he stopped. He knew that in order for this argument to fully end and all battles including the war would end with this one simple sentence "you would let him fuck you even. He is mine, my love, and my Jason. If you ever get in this side of the city for sex, so be it I will personally through you in the ocean. Believe me, I will know when you have sex or not" I said but everyone stopped staring at me when I was done talking, they were staring at the person who was coming in through the door behind me, I turned to see none other than Jason. He had a duffle bag in his hand, he looked at me, then at john, Aaron and then back to me. "I heard what you said" he said to me and I felt like sinking, but then Emily pushed me out of the way "oh honey, tell her about the amazing sex we've had lately, even last night" she said as she swished around to place her hand on his pictorial muscles. "Get off me" he said when she tried to kiss him. I smiled and ran to him as he dropped his duffle bag. I put my arms around his neck and he put his hands on my waist and swung me around. I could hear the crowd clapping out of joy. As he put me down, I gave him another kiss, but it wasn't normal. It felt different, it felt better, and I now know that love isn't something I can just throw around out of obligation or out of not ruining the moment. I fully learned what it means to love someone. Love isn't just something we say to say you are special, no love is something that we save to the specialist people ever, and you can never say it to someone who isn't that special.

As we parted, I saw Emily leaving looking madder than usual. "I'm glad you guys are together" Aaron said with a fake smile. "Thanks" I said to him as John had started to cut the birthday cake.

There was a long awkward pause that followed, Dr. Apollo asked "So, Mr. Kensington, how was your birthday?" Jason looked down at me "it was horrible" I looked down, I ruined his 19th birthday, and it's my fault. Dr. Apollo looked shocked, but Jason then raised a finger to stop her from saying something. "However, at the end of it all. I would never trade it for the world" he said with the one hand still held up in the air, but the other hand rubbing up and down my back. "Well, I'm glad" Dr. Apollo said with a smile, I turned to Jason as the group were socializing "were you getting back together with Emily between our relationships, or did you lie to me about being a virgin?" the usual sparkle left his eye as he looked at me "no, Emily tried to before, but something told me no" "oh, okay" I said as a reply, and that was the end. Neither of us wanted an argument for something as stupid as an ex. "I love you" he said tome as we were watching the crowd get glasses filled with sparkling soda, about to sing Happy birthday to Jason. "Happy birthday dear my boyfriend" I sang when everyone else sang dear Jason. He laughed and returned to allowing his hand rub up and down my back. Then the cake was starting to be served "Do you want me to get your slice?" I asked as I smiled at him, and then walked to the table with the cake.

Once the group had left I walked into our room and Jason followed me, "what was with Aaron?" I asked as he removed his glasses. "Don't know, he did seem off though" Jason said as he began to walk to the bathroom to brush his teeth. I got into my usual pajamas, and Jason pretended not to watch me slip out of my clothes into my shorts, "I know you're watching" I called out "what, I'm just an average man brushing my teeth" he said with a mouthful of wet toothpaste. I walked in to brush my teeth as well. You know most couples have issues with the bathroom, well Jason and I seem to have it fixed right we are patient and accepting. Once our teeth were brushed, Jason followed me, and only removed his shirt this time. "Pants? What a first" I said humorously "Ha-ha" he said as he pulled the blankets back. We were both lying in bed when he turned to me. "What?" I said looking forward at the ceiling "nothing, I said nothing" he said smiling, with his little hairs growing around his mouth. "You were speaking with your eyes" I said as I finally began to turn over to face Jason. He laughed at that. Not the he he, or the fake laughing, but he was actually laughing the Ha-ha, and It was loudly. John suddenly ran into the room to find Jason shirtless, and me in only a tank top and shorts. "You guys are loud, I don't want to wake up Aaron who is sleeping in the other room." John said. "You guys don't sleep in the same bed?" I asked as Jason begun to kiss my neck. "Stop" I whispered to Jason. "No, It's still my birthday" he said "well, you guys have a quiet good night filled with whatever this is" John said as he began to close the door, and Jason stopped. "There, that's how we get him out without being rude" Jason said as his face was parting from me, he was smiling (as usual) "I love you" I had said as I pulled his head closer to me "I love you too" he replied as he returned to kiss my neck one more time. (Nothing else happened, see Jason isn't a monster anymore, and he doesn't force that kind of thing on you). He put his head on my chest, and I began to weave my hand through his hair, through his thick wavy hair. God I wish my hair was as stylish as Jason's. I actually think he fell asleep on my chest as I was weaving my hand through his hair, because he no longer said a word after that.
