Two Parts Of One [ BxB ]

Brian

It had been a month since university started. I was well enough to stay at res and attend classes. Guess the time I had spent at Ian's had done me some good. The constant pain that had been all over my body was as good as nonexistent.

We had kept the arrangement of Greg being my roommate, even with Aaron's threat looming over his head. It didn't matter though, in fact it barely felt like I was sharing a room with someone, let alone Greg.

Greg mostly kept to himself and ignored me. He knew my schedule like he knew that back of his head and for all the wrong reasons. He had memorized it so he knew when were the best times to avoid me.

He always left our room at the darkest of the nights, the only thing letting me know that he was gone would be the soft click of the door as he closed it behind him. A reminder that I wasn't wanted.

There were nights where he thought I was asleep where he would gaze at me with longing in his eyes. Hesitating to approach me and planting a ghost kiss on my temple.

There where nights where he thought I was asleep where he would glare at me as though I was the cause of all his misery. Where he glared at me as though he wanted to tear me apart.

He wanted to hurt me, rip me apart to shreds until he had let out all his anger. He wanted to hold me close to him, to make me his and his alone. He wanted to cherish me, love me as though I belonged to him. As though I was his mate.

I tried talking to him, telling him to forget about Aaron's looming threat. Begging him to stop ignoring me, to stop treating me like I was lower than the dirt beneath his feet. Begging him to stop pretending as though we mere strangers who had the misfortune of being roommates.

He had ignored me, offering me no response. He had only pushed past me, making his way out of our room. He spent several days sleeping Goddess knows where while coming back reeking off alcohol and lust.

He didn't bother masking his scent, he didn't care about what happened to me. He didn't care that what he was doing could trigger my sickness all over again.

My heart was shattered, the person who I longed for so much was doing this to me. The person who I had longed for all my life, who I put so much of my trust didn't care about me anymore.

Gregory broke my heart again, again and again. I just stood by watching him break it as though it was as easy as breathing. I just stood by fixing my heart only to give it to him so he could break it once more.

"I'm going to meet up with Danny." I said even though I knew that Greg would ignore me. I sighed, gazing at him sadly as he was hunched doing his assignments.

Danny knocked on the door softly, careful to not alert Greg lest he wanted to be on the recieving end of his irritable attitude. Greg was getting more and more snappy as the days went on.

''Brian, are you ready?'' asked Danny as I joined him, closing the door behind me with the soft click I hated oh so much.

Danny and I had decided to go to a café to de-stress a bit seeing as the stress of going to uni was taking its toll on us.

''Yeah." I replied with a defeated sigh. "Hey, are you okay?" He asked earning a nod of my head from me. We had gotten really close over the past few weeks, bonding over a common cause, the stress of uni.

Greg was pushing me away still, treating me as though my very presence was as deadly and infectious as the black plague was.

"I'm thinking of going to visit Aaron this weekend." I said. It's not like I'm exactly wanted here, I bit back. Danny had a clue of how bad things were between Greg and I.
