Dear Diary (boyxboy)

Chapter 6

Reen's Diary

Dear diary,

Erik, Dan and I watch for a while as Lexi and another girl ,who looks exactly like her except for the difference only the ends of her hair are pink while the rest is blonde, treat the kid's injuries. I'm assuming from what Shyaxu said this must be Bree. After the little girl is all patched up they head off to bed again not bothering to say goodnight to someone who wouldn't respond anyway. They did wave briefly to Erik, Dan and I.

Unlike the others I can't get to sleep. So when I hear jerking intakes of breath I identify as crying I creep out of my room to check it out,
I see the little girl with new bruises appearing under her short hair. I noticed her jaw had been popped out of line again. I start to feel bad so I fix it for her and ask if she is alright. I bet that girl... Shyaxu? I'm guessing she got to the kid again.

"Hey! Kid!" She looks up at me the crying slowing but remains silent. "Are you alright?" The kid smiles weakly, and nods in response. Did they really think they'd look less weak to me if they smiled? Or did I honestly make her happy just by asking if she was alright? "Hey kid what's your name I can't keep calling you kid?" It was true. I still didn't know her name.
'Alex' The name was only typed on an iPod screen, but it was the first time I'd seen her bother to respond to anyone using words at all.
"Short for Alexis or Alexandra?" I'd like to know more.
Alex didn't answer. I was left questioning it till the demon twins as we'd nicknamed Bree and Lexi due to the fact they didn't seem to be more than a metre apart at any given time, came over. Also they seemed to pop up at the most random times. I thought they'd gone to bed.
"His name is Alex it's not short for anything. Also you're right, you shouldn't call him kid. He's 15 only one year younger than you." They said varying parts of the sentences sometimes swapping word for word. They seemed to be hanging around to try and help us get along. Even though it was clear they'd been on their way back to bed after cleaning up the bandages.
"You're a he?!"

I'm such an idiot I thought Alex was a girl...  I was probably blushing bright red.
The kid- Alex, grinned wryly and nods and the twins walked off to bed apparently deciding I could get him to converse or answer questions on my own. Or maybe they just felt upset they weren't seeming quite as creepy as before.

"What sorts of music do you like?" I asked attempting to make conversation then remembering he was mute or something similar. To my shock the kid answered by playing some some music. I write sins not tragedies by Pan!c at the Disco, if today was your last day by Nikelback, then to a song by Asking Alexandria I couldn't name, then so cold by Breaking Benjamin I just stare at him for a minute wondering if he was kidding.
"Those are my favourite songs" I smile at him. He typed a question for me on his iPod then showed me
'What's your favourite colour?' He looks at me expectantly with grey eyes lined by....eyeliner? I seriously wonder how this is a boy.

"Blue...... Are you wearing makeup?" the kid laughed, well you could see from the grin and the shaking he was laughing. He didn't actually make many noises and help up his iPod with a new message
'Yes I am. I like eyeliner, blue is my second favourite colour" considering the kid was wearing red skinny jeans and that was the only colour on him other than his mostly blue hair I guessed that.
"So your favourite colour is red?" The kid nodded then looked at me in surprise "What?" I asked the kid smiled again and held up his iPod 'Your favourite colour is blue I have blue hair my favourite colour is red what colour hair do you have? It's a cool coincidence.' I laughed and played with a bit of my hair realising he was right
"Good call freak boy"
'Nice insult attempt genderless blob of dwarf' I burst out laughing
"WHAT?! I'm a boy! Not genderless and you think my insults are bad.... Blob of dwarf?" I laugh again.
I smile at him and move to ruffle his hair 'no bad earthling! Don't do the affection thing!' He half shoved the message in my face. He then hugged me awkwardly and I rolled my eyes in amusement.
"So you can show affection but I can't? Dumb immature little emo" I then noticed he'd fallen asleep so I pick him up and take him to bed but he won't let go so I sigh and get in with him.

I have a weird emo friend/ adopted brother who I think is cute. I'm not gay am I?
