Turn the Lights Off [BoyxBoy]

8.0 Unlikely Hero

-DYLAN-

I was choking, air was leaving my lungs. It was cold; water was entering my body through my mouth and some through my nose. I was still struggling for dear life when finally everything turned dark.

Pain it hurt. My throat hurt and my chest was in pain. Surging from inside of me was immeasurable pain moving toward my wind pipe. It hurts, again I felt something in my throat rushing out and I coughed. Water came pouring out of my mouth. I coughed until all the liquid was gone.

It was then that I realized everything was lighted again. And there facing me was a familiar face. At first I really thought I was dead and he was an angel. My head was in pain and I was dizzy, maybe I was just dreaming. And then everything went black again.

Warmth, I felt it on my lips. Similar feeling to what I felt before the liquid came rushing out of my mouth. Warm and soft thing brushed my lips, then that warm thing parted my lips and brought in sweet taste and air. I don’t know what came into me but I felt really hot. That velvety thing on my lips felt nice that I wanted to lick it. And so my tongue and lips altogether helped me explore it. It was then that I opened my eyes and saw his eyes looking at mine to. He then left my lips and wiped his.

“Oh, you’re awake.” Lyon said and then went back to kneeling position. Water was dripping from his chestnut brown hair and I was just looking at him. Despite my near death experience all I can see was his nice body and the tin material covering his thing. Then I remembered that this guy was the reason I nearly died. With all my force I pushed him away and then went standing.

“What the hell!”  He cursed when he felt my push. It wasn’t really that powerful since I couldn’t even balance due to the dizziness my head was suffering from. 

“You’re the one who nearly killed me,” I said ready to punch him if he ever came near.

“Maybe you mean save you!” He said sarcastically. “I just came rushing hearing you ask for help and then that is what you give me in return. I should have left you there to drown.”

“You’re the one who pushed me there,” I insisted.

“I don’t even know who you are,” he answered. “So why would I waste my precious time killing you. You’re so full of yourself. You’re stupid!”

I turned around but there was no one except the two of us. No, if he’s not Night then where was that guy? He can’t possible vanish just like that. I was in the middle of thinking when he spoke again...

“If you don’t mind, I’m going to use the pool. So if you still have plans to die. Go kill yourself somewhere else. And another thing,” he said and then stared right at my eyes. “Nobody knows about this.” He said then prepared for a dive, and then there he went swimming to the other end of the pool.  I was left there, sitting on the wet floor watching as water danced from his strokes. He was a really good swimmer, you can barely see the water splashed and he has a body of a good athlete. Well that was after all his specialty here, Lyon, the swimming prodigy, the fastest swimmer of the Empire.

I was pissed, at Night and at this guy. But I couldn’t help adoring his strokes and his toned body. For only a few seconds he was already back. “What are you still sitting here; you should go to the infirmary. Tell them you committed suicide and nearly killed yourself.”

I was about to say something nasty too but he was again on the water swimming like a fish. So all I did was stand up, take a look at him one last time and around the area for a shadow of Night. There’s really no clue for where he could have gone to. Who cares about Night anyway, if he ever show his face again, I’m going to kill him.

I was leaving the pool feeling tired like I just wanted to lie down there at the streets and sleep. I was also angry at Night, very angry. He said he loved me, well I thought he said so. But he just let me die there. I hate him, he lied and I hate him because he didn’t do anything. And I hate him because he left me.

I got my check up from the infirmary and the doctor told me I was fine. I changed into the clothes I brought and then I started on my way back to the dorm. It was a long way and walking alone at night was not really a good thing since I got scared of almost all the sounds that I could hear.

I was walking past an old building which was rumoured to be hunted. It wasn’t a good feeling. It was actually agonizing. I walk fast and then heard a familiar thug on the ground. It was as if someone was walking and the sound was coming from behind me. I walked fast and the sound also became faster. I didn’t try to turn around, I was afraid to see what was following me. Finally I came at our dormitory entrance but felt the thing following me still behind.

And then I remembered the story about ghost which follows people they haunt. Maybe this one has targeted me since I walked past the old building this late at night.

I stopped walking but I felt the thing come nearer. The hair on my skin has stood up and the air turned cold. I heard the walking sound nearer, approaching me. It became louder and louder then it stopped. I can feel it behind me. The thing was behind me. I have to be brave, maybe if I showed it that I’m not afraid it would go away. I didn’t move but I tried to be strong and brave.

“Who’s there, whoever you are I am warning you.  Don’t come near me.” I said. But it had no effect, the creature still lingered behind me and I can feel it was about to advance again. I heard the footsteps starting again; it was now louder than it had been before signifying the very small distance between me and the thing. And then there it was beside me.

“Stupid!” I heard and then the thing walked passed me. It was not actually a thing but the same guy who save me from drowning earlier. He entered the dormitory and vanished. He wasn’t supposed to be in our dormitory. It’s not prohibited for them to enter but it is very unusual. I hurried hoping to see where he was going but he was gone. Then I heard a door opened and so I searched for it. There were voices, two people talking. And I followed the voices leading me to the hall way of my room. And there I saw him enter before the door closes. Lyon, he entered the room of my friend Jeremy.

What the hell is he doing there? And Jeremy didn’t tell me anything about him but I noticed earlier the way he looked at us on the pool. Maybe he wasn’t really looking at both of us; maybe he was just looking at Jeremy. Is it possible that he and Jeremy are going out, in secret?

A certain feeling hit me. I wonder if it was pain or happiness for my friend but it certainly did feel confusing. Or was I feeling jealousy!
