Cʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ #24: Let Me Audition

  ~ Chapter #24: LetMe Audition ~

The school hours they spent at home seemed to be composed of Eddie combing his fingers through Aleks' scruffy brown hair, as the aforementioned teen was continuously skidding to stop just at the edge of fading away from the world whilst he sustained his hug around Eddie for the entire time. Seems that holding the other was also very addictive for the brunette. The fingers raking through his hair so gently and soothingly had the effect of almost slipping into an unresponsive trance on him; hell, whenever Eddie touched him he felt tingles rack his spine. And that was from one little graze of the Latino's finger tips against his pale skin, so, imagine the high he was entertaining and experiencing as Eddie held his body closer to his own, as his careful fingers continually massaged his scalp and played with his ears. Scratch behind his ear and, even though he becomes mortified when he realizes his own reactions, he seems to purr, obviously satisfied.

Just good thing one of his legs doesn't start shaking, like a real dog's would. He does still have some control over his abnormal body, after all.

The two of them also conversed with each other; random topics just finding themselves into their spoken comments. They whispered answers to the other's questions when there was one clanging noisily on the metaphoric table, and sent soft remarks in the form of responses to the wavering conversations. It was about 5:17 PM, when the two boys unknowingly altered topics from their previous one that revolved around favourite foods, to one that began speaking of personal matters.

"So… when did you, uh, find out about your sexuality, if you mind me asking?" Even though the question's execution volume was really subtle, it was the loudest thing Eddie had said to him ever since the two met- well, other than him saying he was beautiful for the first time. The query made the brunette that was slowly lulling himself to sleep by the sensations of Eddie's fingers entwining with his hair immediately snap awake; his ashy-amber eyes widening to a startled spotlight state. He hadn't known it before Eddie had asked it, but he really was desiring to never hear that question resound from his- 'His sweet lips- no, don't get off track…' Aleks scolded his easily distracted mind, before remembering that there was a question, lingering in the air, for him to accept amd respond to. And even though he knew how much he wanted to comply with his insubordinate part he harbored within himself, he had to get over this obstacle, and he had answer it.

He had to. Besides, it's not that bad of a topic, nor question, is it?

'…Is it?'

Upon listening the long, awkward, and hesitant moment following his query, Eddie felt a panicky, uncertain emotion plague him as he realized he might've stepped over the line, prior to attempting to right his wrong doing. "It's all right if you don't want to say, Aleks," The Latino hastily insisted, "I won't mind if you want your privacy." He better clarified, before going silent to watchfully gaze at the brunette who went deathly stiff in his embrace; the other's head laying still on his chest as an eerie serenity seeped into the room to fill the vacancy found within it. Because it was so quiet, he thought he could practically hear Aleks' frantic heart beat, other than actually feeling it thump against him, since the teen was pretty much laying on the right half of his body. Keeping his furtive gaze on the neko who still hadn't murmured anything, Eddie's eyebrows knitted together with concern, as he bit his lip a little. 'What a damn mistake, I'm so fucking stupid.' The fawn-skinned young man beat himself up with a stern mental scolding, before eventually feeling Aleks stir and fidget in his hold. Silently comprehending, he leisurely unwrapped his right arm from around the brunette's shoulders, and allowed the boy to sit up; his mop-headed appearance that Eddie was soon enabled the ability to gaze upon when the Russian sat on his knees next to him, was strangely alluring. Even though the other boy was silent with dismay lacing his facial expression as his head bowed out of embarrassment and shame, the Latino couldn't help but feel hopelessly attracted to the porcelain-skinned teen; the new look the boy was sporting then gave him the courage to sit up as well, and cautiously reach for Aleks' frail hand, that was placed lazily on his own lap. The brunette didn't shield nor yank away his hand when he saw Eddie's nearing one, and just allowed the bruised limb's ending portion be taken into a soft grip, that was soothingly comforting. Aleks almost melted when he experienced those intense sparks again, but he recalled why Eddie was even trying to console him - because of his weakness - and proceeded to frown even more; the positive parabola coating his lips growing more dreary. Just answer the damn question, don't let Eddie just accept that you're spineless, and think it's all right to just hug you all the time- even though it is fine.
