Don't You Wanna Be? (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 2

"Hey Ken!" My partners called out to me as I entered the room and prepared to present. I wasn't trying to miss this presentation for anything, but it sucked that I had to leave Chris in the dust like that. I hope he won't be mad about it later.

Rushing in and setting up, I was interrupted by a hand on my ass. Frowning and turning around quickly, I turned to see Matt, the other idiot in my life. Unlike Chris, Matt took all opportunities to physically tease me because he knows I'm gay. This time though, he wasn't getting away.

Grabbing him by the collar before he could run away I gave him one good punch in the face that sent him flying back into the hallway before closing the door behind him. As he looked up at the door smirking, I frowned and shot him the middle finger before returning to my work. I love Chris and Matt with all my heart, but my work is ever-present, and that takes priority.

"Alright, first up for presentations is Ken's group!" My Economics teacher sounded, prompting the room to go quiet. I loved presenting things in this class, because it made me feel like I was the head of some major company in a city far off somewhere. Taking in a deep breath and rising out of my seat slowly, I walked to the front of the room as my presentation loaded on the screen.

"Hmph, look at this class-act fag again", I heard Constance say. Breaking my stride and turning to face him, I glared into his eyes. Constance couldn't stand my very existence, and quite frankly, I couldn't stand him either. He felt like constantly slandering my name to the only two people in class that cared enough to listen would break my spirits or make him feel better about himself, and so he did it everyday. At first, it was so annoying that I lost my cool and lashed out at him, beating him until the security guards dragged me out. 3 years later, he still tries to agg me on, but now I had another trick for him.

Smiling and turning back towards my path, I exhaled a quick chuckle and continued walking. I could feel the smirk on his face turn into complete anger as I turned once more to face the entire class.

"Good morning, everyone, my name is Ken, and today I will be showing you all-"

"Just how much of a super fag you are, huh?" Constance blurted out, cutting me off. Before I knew it, my anger had gotten the best of me once more, and I had him in a headlock before he could even move. Pushing his head as far back as it could go while he turned blue in the face, I found tears of anger streaming down my face as my face also heated up from rage alone. Almost as if prepared, my teacher pulled me off of him and brought me into the hall where everyone was crowded around the opening of the door.

"I checked your project already, you passed, but for the sake of the class, it's best that you go now". His words were stern, and I walked down the hall to the gym. I knew Chris had gym around this time, so why not wait for him?

Walking in and being hit instantly with the scent of faint musk, I found a seat quickly and scanned the area for Chris. Finding him playing basketball, I sat down and delved into my phone. Usual notifications from irrelevant people and some messages from Chris, nothing normal. Opening his messages, a photo of him shirtless in his bathroom popped up on my screen. My eyes widened as I stared at his body, but I eventually closed it and locked my phone. He's my friend, I shouldn't be thinking like that. Sure, I'm gay and he's cute or whatever, but that doesn't mean I'm obliged to swoon over him!

Shit, now he's cute?

Covering my face in my hands and sighing deeply, I pondered the state of mind I now had. Little old me, gawking at a photo of my best friend?!

It's just a photo, it isn't that serious.

But his body, jeez. Just imagine what if..

No! Don't even entertain that thought!
