Blue Moonlight(BxB)

Chapter 19: A Reason

Cyan's POV:
"So, can you tell us now?", Yuma asks Lyova gently and I rest my hand over his.

Lyova rubs his eyes then look up at us both and nods slightly.

"Nothing really happened. Hunter didn't do anything. I can feel an attraction to him, and it hurts. I can't like him".

"So you told him to stay away?", Yuma asks and Lyo nods.

"I can see why Hunter was so angry then. It's painful when your mate rejects you and avoids you. Not to mention, it's also painful for the person who pushed the other person away.

I would know, cause that's exactly what I tried to do", Yuma sighs.

I looked at Yuma who stared at the ground sadly. He pat Lyova's back gently as if understanding what he was going through.

"But why Lyo? Why can't you like him...? Because he's a guy?... Are you afraid of what Mo-Michelle will say?".

He met my eyes as I said this and his eyes watered sadly. I knew how much Michelle, Lyova's mom hated homosexuals and people who weren't normal.

She hated me for that and she made it very clear to Lyova and Lysander through her words and actions.

Lysander always tried to change her mind and get her to be more accepting of it, but she would never listen and told him to never say anything about it again.

"You're mother? But, Lyova you've accepted Cyan for who he is right? I'm sure your mom can come to understand", Yuma adds.

I stare at him in disbelief, how did he know how I am?...

He feels my gaze and looks up, "Oh. Sorry, Cyan... I may or may not have heard what you revealed to Lyova in the prison cellar...".

He scratches his hair evasively and I feel embarrassed to know he heard it.

"It's not only because of Mom...", Lyova mumbles and we turn towards him.

What else? What else was more of a fear than Michelle finding out?

My heart trembled for Lyova. I just wanted to see him happy.

"What is it?....", I ask him softly.

"I... It's because I already...", he pauses then looks at me before looking down at his knees, "I...have a girlfriend already...".

My ears perked up upon hearing this and I immediately turned to Yuma.

He had his hand over his mouth and his other hand was wrapped around his elbow in deep thought.

Girl-friend? Or girlfriend...as in girlfriend?!

"I see...", Yuma mumbles softly as he nods his head then turns to me, "Wait why do you look so surprised, Cyan? You didn't know?".

I nod, "I had no idea. Lyova you mean you actually have a-a...girlfriend?".

Lyova averted his gaze and nodded.

Even though he agreed to having a girlfriend, for some reason a dark shadow lingered over his face and he looked almost sad to say it.

"So Lysander doesn't know either?", Yuma asked.

"No... Promise me you both won't tell anyone. It's a secret, so please", Lyo pleaded and we both nodded.

Why doesn't he want to tell anyone? How long has he had a girlfriend without anyone knowing? Why can't you tell us why Lyo?
