In His Eyes Chapter 6.

“What the hell is going on?” Chris asked as he pulled me aside. He had brought Micah to the studio and for the past hour or so Micah hadn’t said a word to me. He sat across from me as he played with some clay, but not a single word had been said between us the entire morning.

“What are you talking about?” Maybe if I play dumb, Chris will leave me alone and I can go back to loathing myself for being inappropriate.

“Don’t act dumb with me, asshole. What happened between you and Micah? Usually by now you guys would have talked about the meaning of the universe and why it is that we walk this earth!” He huffed as he finished and I was taken aback.

“Ok, so maybe I’m exaggerating, but still… what the hell happened?”

I remained quiet as I glanced in Micah’s direction. He had the clay in his hands, but he seemed lost in thought. He raised his head a bit as if he felt me staring, so I had to look away.

Chris narrowed his eyes at me when I looked back at him, “What did you do?”

My eyes widen a bit as I tried to play it cool that I had done nothing, “do you really have to assume that I was the one at fault in this?”

Chris rolled his eyes, “Dimitri, baby, you’re fucking twenty-eight years old! Stop answering questions like you’re an innocent teen, for fucks sakes, and tell me what did you do? He has hardly opened his eyes the entire time he has been here. Especially when he’s around you, now are you going to tell me what did you do or say to him?”

I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose in frustration.

“He won’t open up. He’s put up walls around him ever since I made that stupid comment a week ago. A week ago, Chris, can you fucking believe that?!”

“Ok, now I’m confused. I know Micah doesn’t take compliments that easy, but to be like this an entire week? Well, that must have been one hell of a compliment.”

Chris narrowed his eyes as I remained quiet about the compliment. I mean, it was just a fucking compliment! Anyone would have said ‘thank you’ or simply laugh it off, but Micah had closed himself up and I hadn’t been able to get to him in a week. What difference would it make if I tell Chris?

“I’m waiting, Dimitri.” He said in a stern voice with his arms crossed over his chest.

“I told him he had beautiful eyes… and next thing I know he closed his eyes and walked away form me. That was a week ago since I told him that, and up to this day he won’t open his eyes around me. He hardly talks to me and when he does is forced. When I take him to the library or to the community center, he avoids touching me as much as he can. You know he hates his cane, but in the last week he has used that damn stick more than he has in his life.”

My breath was ragged as I finished my rant. My chest was beating fast in my chest and I could feel the anger and sadness mix together inside of me. I sighed and slid down to the floor. I covered my face with one hand and the other lay on my side.

“I can’t do this anymore, Chris. It’s like he’s disgusted by me or something.”

I could hear Chris’s shaggy hair swish side to side as he shook his head, “He’s not disgusted, D’. Oh, and if you’re thinking what I think you’re thinking, I advice you don’t.”

I moved my hand from my face and stared up at him confused.

“There’s no way out, Dimitri. You agreed to this… you cannot just walk away because he isn’t making lovey-dovey eyes at you.”
