I'm Just A Freak- Hybrid ImmortalFox

Don't

"No, no I honestly don't know that."

Eddie's eyes widened at his answer, staring at him as if he was completely insane. It wasn't his fault; he just simply... didn't see what was so great about him. Eddie seemed to see not only him, but everyone as outstanding and unique people, people that could change the world. That, was another trait he loved about the Latino, he only saw people optimistically, ignoring their faults and concentrating only in their talents and qualities.

"How? How can you not? You're the most beautiful person I've ever laid eyes on, inside and out."

"That's impossible and you know it. I am a freak. I'm not 'beautiful' or 'amazing' or whatever fucking compliment you can think of, Eddie. I'm just...me. Freaky, unloved, unwanted, me."

He placed his meal on the blanket and hugged his knees, swallowing the lump in his throat as he let the self-hatred sink in. He breathed unsteadily, practically on the edge of tears. He felt arms wrap around his small figure, holding him tightly.

"You know you shouldn't think that's true, it isn't true. It's your asshole of a father that made you believe that, not you," Eddie persisted.

Before he could retort, Eddie sighed shakily, holding him firmly against his chest as he leaned into him.

"It fucking hurts, knowing that you, of all people, think so lowly of yourself, it hurts so fucking much," Sly whispered, seeming on the border of bawling himself.

He buried his face into the crook of his neck, trying to keep Eddie from feeling the same sadness he was.

"But, there's something I just don't fucking understand though."

"What is it?" Eddie asked.

"Why the Hell do you like me? I'm way out of your league, I'm weak and pathetic, so why me? Shouldn't you be looking for someone who deserves you?"

Sly scoffed quietly, kissing his mop of hair softly. "I don't believe in 'leagues'; that shit's stupid as fuck. I'm head over heels for you, Aleks, and I always ask myself the same question about you all the time. You need someone, Aleks. Someone to be there with you constantly and tell you how perfect you are every second and I'd... really like to be that person."

Aleks' heart thumped so hard he was afraid it might thump its way out of his ribcage. His sorrow faded away and left only pure bliss in its place as he hesitantly kissed Eddie's jaw softly, silently thanking him for his presence.

"I'd like that too," he murmured shyly.

Eddie coughed loudly, releasing him and, for a second, Aleks started to panic, thinking he had done something wrong. Instead of letting the stress take over him once again, he immediately tried continuing the conversation with a question he had been wanting to ask for a while, but never actually had the courage to.

"Eddie?"

"Yeah?"

"What happened, you know, that day you went to get my stuff, while I was knocked out? How did you get out alright?"

Eddie rolled his eyes bitterly, eyes shining with a sparkle of annoyance, probably not enjoying reminiscing on those events in particular. "I managed to beat the shit out if him until he was out cold, then I took your stuff and carried you to the car. Now, my question is; why the fuck did you not text me like I told you to?"

"I-I didn't want you guys to get hurt because of me. I knew that you would be the one to rush straight in without thinking if I did and I really didn't want that to happen. You're really lucky you didn't too and there's not a day that goes by were I'm not grateful for that."

"B-But he beat you. If I had just been there sooner, I could've helped you go in and out without him laying a finger on you. God dammit, I should have been there, I should have protected you. I should have been there by your side the whole time; like that you wouldn't have gotten hurt."

Eddie looked out into the distance, glancing into the breathtaking moonlit view in the horizon, regret flickering evidently in his eyes. He was blaming himself for something out of his control, and he hated that. He never, ever wanted anyone to blame themselves for something that was clearly his fault and not theirs.

"Eddie, look at me."

Sly only turned his head further stubbornly, letting the shine of the moon reflect on the part of his face that was fronting the river.

"Look at me," he repeated sternly.

But Eddie didn't budge, just kept looking out at the view and ignoring his pleas. He inwardly groaned and used a hand to cup Eddie's cheek and turn his head towards him gently. He stared in his eyes, noticing every slightly different shade of brown that roamed in them and complimented them greatly, cheeks flushed a slight red, similar to the tanned teen that was doing the same.

"Eddie, what happened was in no way your fault whatsoever, I don't blame you, the Creatures don't blame you, so why blame yourself? You did nothing wrong; if you hadn't done anything just because I didn't text you, I wouldn't be here right now. I would be getting beat right fucking now if it weren't for you. You took me out of the fucking Hell of a home and brought me to yours and, honestly I couldn't be happier."

He gave a small, comforting smile. "So stop feeling bad about what's in the past, got it?"

Eddie nodded, his own small grin plastered on his own face. Just as he was about to pull his hand away, Eddie grabbed it, leaving it own his cheek.

"Don't," he ordered in a small whisper,

He stayed silent, entranced by the sight before him. Eddie was indeed the most handsome person he had met and he didn't think twice about thinking so. Just the male's deep brown eyes, his spiky black hair and the permanent smile on his face was enough to practically make him melt. The added reflecting light of the candle and moon only made him look all the more enchanting, the stars around them paling in comparison.



He didn't know if it was out of instinct or what, but when he saw Eddie's eyes flutter shut and him leaning in, he had slowly but surely did the same. He gently leaned in fully, closing the small gap between the two of them and pressing their lips together, bringing him into his first kiss.
