The book

Mine

     "Raymond, I need you to calm down" He paused for a moment, his brow furrowing, "N-no, I was-" he was cut off again "Ray I -" yet again. It only got me angry every time he was cut off so out of rage I grabbed the phone from him "He was with me now shut up" and hung up. "Nyx why would you do that?" He grabbed his phone and started to message Raymond "Simon, did you forget?" He looked at me with curiosity "Just me and you" I take his phone and click the side button to put it into sleep mode and set it on my dresser "Nyx-" I didn't let him finish his sentence before I pulled him into my bed again, cuddling him. 

     We laid together in silence for a while before Simon spoke "Why did you change your name?" I looked down at his head which hasn't moved, he was looking at my old picture with my whole name "I didn't change it. I shortened it" I said simply hoping he'd drop the subject. "Why did you shorten it?" What was I thinking, of course he wouldn't drop it. "Didn't like my whole name anymore" I said another simple answer "Why not?" I sigh and rub his back and now he turns to look at me. "I suppose I can tell  you." I sigh once more 

      "My dad named me and called me Nyxus and told me he was proud of my drawings. The things I didn't see as a child was the fact he would spike his coffee every morning, that he would hit my mother around, that he would actually tell me I wasn't good enough after telling me he liked my artwork." I look down at Simon and continued "He left my mother for his mistress and when he left he said to me 'Nyxus, don't forget that I'm the one who named you.' and since then I've hated my name, so I changed it." Simon snuggled me a bit more "Sorry for pushing the subject" I kiss the top of his head and mutter that it was okay. 

    We took out sweet time in my bed, just laying there, entangled in each other's arms. We got up around 2 in the morning to take showers. We took one together to save the warm water. After that I gave some clothes to Simon and we went out for a bit. I left a note for my mom that if I wasn't back when she woke up that I'd be back soon enough. At first the idea was to take Simon home, but instead we decided to go to the park that was near his house. The weirdest part about this whole thing was it was completely silent. "Simon" I say as we swing, breaking the silence. "Simon I like you a lot." I blush a little and keep my head down "I like you too Nyx" he said after a long pause. I lift my head up and look at him. I didn't notice he'd stopped the swing and was still. I put my feet down to stop as fast as I could "Why won't you be mine?" I asked, a little out of breath. 

     " I wanted to be, but I thought you'd think I was strange. I mean come on. I'm a whole year older than you and my birthday is next week. I just thought you wouldn't like me, so I started to date Raymond... I regret it." He opened his phone typing in the password "Alaska" I chuckle at his password mentally. I saw him push a few buttons and hold it up to his ear. "Hey, Raymond?" I heard screaming on the other end and I clenched my fist. "Raymond shut the fuck up for once." I had to slap my hand over my mouth to stop from laughing. "I'm leaving you, You're abusive, and an asshole. I never liked you anyway, you were just a stress relief and you hardly released any of my stress. Delete my number peasant"

     With all of that he hung up on Raymond and stood up. I stayed sitting because he walked in front of my swing. Simon grabbed the handles to my swing and pulled me forward "Hello there" I say in a deep like voice. I wouldn't have expected the sweet Simon to react the way he did. He was so sweet, like an child or an angel. He smiled darkly and spoke in a sickeningly sweet voice "You're mine." 

     You see, I saw Simon as an innocent little boy who loved books. It seems like I was the innocent little boy because Simon is one kinky son of a bitch. I only know this because instead of bringing him to his house we went back to my house and he showed me all of the things he was into. His favorite thing to do is have the master kink, he's the master, but he's bottom. It's sort of weird to me, but I told him I'd do anything he wanted in bed. I wasn't the best, obviously, so I'm open to things. I have no sex drive so I guess when ever he wants it, we'll do it. No big deal. 

     We snuggled a little more, falling asleep again only to be woken up around 10 by my little sister "Mom says you need to get up and feed your friend" she realized that he wasn't just my friend and knew to stay quiet or i'd find a way to hurt her truly. "Kay" I say as she closes the door behind her. I shake Simon awake and put on a shirt that I didn't remember taking off. "Food downstairs" I say as he sat up rubbing the tired from his eyes. "kay" he yawns and throws the covers off of him. I kiss his cheek and we head downstairs. 

     "Hey mum" I say as I walked into the kitchen, grabbing an apple and taking a bite out of it "Hello young man and his lovely friend." she nodded to Simon "This is Simon, he's the boy I met at the library for a while. We like the same book" say as I look through the fridge for some milk "Pleasure to meet you ma'am" I turned to pour milk into two glasses "Oh the pleasure is all mine, since I know who you are now you're welcome anytime you want to come over." She smiled at Simon and he smiled back at her. 

     I down my milk after handing Simon his and eat my apple quick too "Mum we're going out for a bit." I say while putting my shoes on "You should take a shower Nyxus" She had that tone in her voice that told me it wasn't a suggestion. "Fine" I turn to go upstairs "and it's Nyx, mother" I glare for a second before heading upstairs. I don't shower with music on when someone's in my house that is talking to my mother, just so I can hear them. 

     "He's always like that, don't mind him." I hear Simon chuckle 
"It's okay, I've learned to not call him Nyxus, though it's a lovely name" 
"His father thought so too." 
"What was he like, Nyx's father?" 
"He was a kind man.... Though he had a bit of a temper. in fact Nyx takes after his father more than his sister does. Though his sister looks more like him" She chuckles 
"He sounds lovely." Simon said, I couldn't help but note the sorrow in his voice and I hurriedly finished. 

I didn't have time to dry my hair, I just wanted to leave the house. I shoved my shoes on when I got downstairs, yes I was fully dressed. "Come on Simon." I grab his hand and pull him outside to start walking "Where are we going?" He questioned "To a friends" I reply nonchalant "A good friend of mine."
