My Shadow (BxB Yaoi)

Three

"Danny"

My eyes fluttered open to look at the dark figure in front of me. How fucked up was I to be enjoying this huh, absolutely mental. Finally the sane side of me reacted and pushed the figure away. Of course it didn't work however as the figure seemed to guess what I'd do and simply went back into his basic flat shadow form. Somehow he seemed angry with me? Tension soon filled the room and left me gnawing at my bottom lip with my teeth. I sighed and stood up, walking out of the stall and into the hallway.

Soon the last period of the day had arrived and I didn't expect it to be so awful. All of the people who I hated and equally hated me back were in there. Apparently they had been awaiting for my arrival as I could see they snickered when I looked at the roster. Clearly they were trying to get to me by throwing my desk all the way to the back of the room. My hand tapped at my side as a signal to calm him down. You see, after entering high school a protective and dangerous side of my shadow made itself known. He once lashed out on a kid and made him move away, poor guy.

"Hey freak still a freak?" One kid yelled out and I gaped at him. The amount of stupidity that came out from his mouth was astonishing. Next the teacher spoke up and it scared me.

"Young man if you cannot control your mouth I will throw you out, do you understand? Now all of you shut the hell up before I throw detentions out to all of you! I refuse to deal with your crap this semester."

The teacher also sent me a threatening glare but softened once recognizing me. For once in my life was I getting a nice teacher?! Nope. Because the next thing I knew a sneer was on his face and pointed to the seat in the back, muttering another small warning "Don't even dare trying to move the desk closer insolent boy."

Yep I was proud to say I was now scared shitless because of the tension that filled the room. Everyone's eyes were now staring at me and I had to look down. This is what I was talking about when I said he lashed out sometimes. Right now my teacher had the front of his shirt balled up like a fist was holding it and his eyes were wide. Faint whispering filled the room and the girls cowered together. When his shirt was in tact again he regained his composure but his eyes looked dead. I could just see the upcoming nightmares that would haunt him for weeks, poor guy.

The final bell rang and jolted me out of the sudden wave of sleep that wanted to take over my body. Everyone scattered out from the classroom and I followed soon after. No way was I riding the bus at all this year. I might actually be sent to jail if any more complaints are made on him. That's when I realized something. Stopping dead in my tracks I looked down sharply and tapped my leg. I could feel the barely visible black mist circle around my body curiously and he tapped my shoulder as if to ask 'what is it?'

"It's rather exhausting having to refer to you as him or shadow ya know. I know 18 years is a little late to ask this but don't you have your own name? Or do I have to make one up?" Agitation was evident in my remark and this brought him to attention. He seemed to be thinking about it deeply before wrapping around me tighter. Obviously he was extremely close because the hot breath that fanned over my ear sent a shiver down my spine as he whispered in my ear.

"Damien.."

Damien huh, it suited him actually. All I did was nod and continued to walk home as he took the time to unwrap himself and simply went back to his flat form. Now I know it seems skeptical for a child to be on his own for so long without any parents but I'm accustomed to it. Only my mother was around for when I was a child since my parents were split up. Money was sent in from my apparently rich father every month and I was able to continue on living peacefully but I did eventually get a job. At least he didn't hate me and let me die in the house alone. Once every summer he'd come to visit for a week, he was actually pretty cool. But unlike my mother he took notice to Damien. They seemed to get along just fine though which I was relieved for.

My part time job would start in an hour which left some free time on my hands as I unlocked the door to my home and closed it behind me. Nothing too exciting, just a normal home that was mildly messy. Damien liked to clean though. It always made me question his sanity and laugh because he'd get angry if I left things lying on the floor or dirty dishes in the sink for days. Just like my mother. The thought made a faint smile cross my face before it turned into a frown. Damien had tugged sharply on my arm and I knew why.

"Damien you know I can't stay tonight I have work and need to get ready."

"Stay.."

"No."

"Call in.. first day back to school, relax..."

He didn't usually do this but he seemed to form one whole sentence which made me tilt my head in wonder. Usually if he was being difficult or wanted to talk he'd let out one or two worded phrases and sighs and grunts. Hearing his voice was nice. Damien was right though, I really didn't want to go into work on the first day back and I'd only missed one other day before.. hell I'd never even taken a vacation. Sighing in defeat I pulled my phone my dad had gotten me last summer out and dialed my work number. Madison picked up and answered.

"Hello this is Madison at Aromatic Sweetshop how may I help you today?"

"Hey Maddie it's me Danny, I was wondering if it would be possible to call in for today?"

"Ooh hi Danny!! Of course you can! Hell, that's it you're officially on vacation for a week mister no questions asked! Bye bye now and enjoy your time off baby boy~." The line went dead and I chuckled to myself. Maddie was like a second mother, she was 24 and a total lesbian that adored me. Most of my coworkers were antisocial nerds or older woman so they didn't speak very much but Maddie was the lively one of the bunch and instantly glued herself to my side the day I started working. Just then my phone was snatched from my hands and Damien had taken a full form of what I witnessed in the bathroom earlier today. It was amazing how you could see right through the black mist and touch it without your hand going through. With him in his full form though instead of just his hands and lips I examined his body. He stood at least 5 inches taller than me (I was 5'6 sadly) and his chest moved up and down as if he was actually breathing. My mind wandered off then and I couldn't help but wonder if he wore clothes or anything and I just couldn't see them. Before that thought got too deep however the phone was back at my ear and what sounded like a man started talking.

Apparently Damien was dying for Chinese food tonight because he made me order a shit ton for both him and me. Yes I know, how the fuck is he able to eat anything? I don't really know myself but he does eat. I don't think he really has to he just wants to. That's why he eats so much because filling up a literal empty stomach is a lot of work I guess.

After stuffing our faces I left Damien to clean and shuffled into my room. Face first I flopped into bed and tangled up in my sheets and pillows contently. Today had been eventful I must say. Randomly kissed Damien and almost got a teacher killed plus a random vacation, no big deal at all. The kiss still lingered on my mind though and I touched my lips with my fingertips. It just felt so right to feel Damien's soft plump lips against my own and I wanted more. As if caught in the act of thinking about it the man himself walked into the room. Or floated I should say. He sat on the bed next to me and turned off all the lights. The only thing I remembered after that was being encased in a mound of blankets and dozing off to warm invisible arms holding me protectively.

A/N: welp I suppose I will continue this story after all since some of you guys want me to. Still having writers block on Our Bitter Sweet Ending but I will publish the next chapter of that today or tomorrow as well.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GO CHECK OUT MY TWO NEW BOOKS 'Surveillance' AND 'What Lies Amongst The Ocean' I WOULD DEEPLY APPRECIATE IT AND THEY ARE BOTH MANXBOY

Now I must go and write more chapters ;p also the pic I put for the chapter may seem weird but it's what I'd imagine all the scared kids think about how Danny and Damien look to them if Damien had an actual human form. Maybe he does maybe he doesn't. I won't spill any secrets yet ;))
