Turn a Blind Eye

Chapter 5

Shark's PoV
My eyes followed Sabre as he left the room. What the hell is wrong with me? I'm a straight kid crushing on another guy! I glanced at the Xbox, and decided to play a game, to keep my mind off of Sabre, and just life in basic. I sat down, and tapped the power button to the console, and it chirped to life. I flicked through the profiles, and paused at one. Father and Son. It must've been Sabre and his father's profile. I went into the create a profile, and created myself. I then went through the games, and paused at Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag. One of my favorites. I played for at least two hours until I got annoyed. I had the game save and quit. After shutting off the Xbox, I walked out of the room. He mentioned the bathroom... Where's the kitchen though? "Sabre?" I called out, hoping for an answer. Suddenly, Sabre's head popped out from the bathroom.
"Y...yeah?" he stammered. I raised an eyebrow.
"A: Where's the kitchen? And B: Something wrong?" I asked, concern washing over my other feelings.
"Nah, I'm f...fine. The kitchen's       d...downstairs." I noticed his voice sounded strained. Like mine when I c-
No.. He did not.
"Sabre. Come here." I ordered. He shook his head. Instead of repeating what I said, I walked over, and grabbed his wrists. There were freshly made wounds crisscrossing his wrists. I looked up at him, and directly into his eyes. I'm pretty sure if he didn't have mechanical eyes, he'd be crying, or tearing up. Then, as small tear slid down his face, and even Sabre looked a little shocked.
"Heh, Dr. Lang really put detail. How'd you know?" he asked shakily. I backed up a bit, and pulled up my sleeve. Pale scars were slashed across my skin, from when I went through my depressing phase when I found out that my parents died.
"When my parents died, I went through a strong phase of depression. To be honest, I attempted suicide," I pointed at the large scar on my upper arm. "I survived, and I realized what I did. I would've left behind the friends I had, and the little sister that needed me. She.. Ehem.. She died from leukemia a year later.." I muttered, staring directly at Sabre as tears slipped down my face.
"I...I.." he was at a loss for words. I pulled down my sleeve. I pushed him into the bathroom, my hunger forgotten.
"Let's get that cleaned up, shall we?" I asked, and he nodded.
Time skip after getting cleaned up
Sabre's PoV
We were now in the kitchen, and I watched as Shark stared into space, not paying much attention. He was keeping his head up by having support from his arm and hand. I smirked, and knocked his hand out from under his chin, and he jumped back, and fell off his chair. I burst out laughing after hearing him let out a soft, 'Ow' when he hit the ground. He got up and sat back down, rubbing his back.
"What was that for?" he complained.
"Sorry, you were just staring into space, and the temptation was, well, too tempting." I chided.
"Oh shush it." he muttered, hit his head on the counter. I poked his head, and suddenly he launched at me and took us both to the ground.
"Hey!" I yelped. We ended up on the floor, with Shark ending up sitting on my stomach. As he laughed, I stared at is ocean blue eyes, and I blushed, and instead I looked at the ceiling. In the corner of my eye, I could see that a dark blush had grown on Shark's face. I looked back at him. His laugh had slowed to a soft giggle. I smiled at him, and the blush darkened. 'Does he like me?' Screw it. I grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him down and kissed him. I could feel the alarm radiating from him, but it slowly faded away as he kissed back. He pulled away, and he stared at me.
"You kissed me?" he asked.
"You kissed back?" I asked at the same instant. Instead of answering, he swooped in and kissed me again, and I melted into the kiss immediately. We pulled back, and he got off my stomach, and helped me up. I looked directly at him. "S..Shark? Will y..you be my boyfriend?" I stuttered shyly. He smiled.
"Of course."
