"A Stars Love", a Mackie x Keifer Story.

Chapter Two: Discussion and Thought

It has been a few hours since the boys had arrived back at the hotel, they played a lot but eventually ran out of energy and went to sleep, they didn't mind being in the same bed, except Mackie, he got nervous, and his blush was on repeat. Especially since he was next to Kiefer, he was still awake staring over at the boy, Kiefer's hair slightly covering his gentle peaceful face. Mackie felt his cheeks heat up, he couldn't take it, he sat up, escaping the bed, going into the bathroom, shutting the door. He sighed as he looked into the mirror, "What is wrong with me...?" He asked his reflection, frowning slightly he couldn't describe this new feeling towards Kiefer, he sighed before he heard a knock at the door. "Y-Yes?" He stutters in surprise, "Mackie its Francis, open the door" the boys voice came from on the other side of the door. "I'm, uh, going to the bathroom..." Mackie lied in an attempt to get the other to go away, "Mackie" was all Francis said, seeing right through his, even though he couldn't see him.

Mackie sighed as he unlocked the door, pulling it open, Francis stepped inside as Mackie closed the door. The chubby boy yawned before putting the toilet lid down, he sat down and crossed his legs. "So what's going on with you?" He Asked Mackie, arching a brow at him. Mackie shifted, putting his hands behind his back, "What do you mean?" He asked biting his lower lip. Francis crossed his arms, "You know what I mean, what's with you and Kiefer?" Francis asked. Mackie blushed, looking away from the other male, "how do you figure there's something with us?...d-does he tell you things?" Mackie asked, getting curious. "Do you think his tells me things about you?" Francis replied smirking, Mackie rolled his eyes and turned away, he knew what Francis was up to. Francis sighed, "Mackie, you look at Kiefer differently then you do to me, you blush Around him, you just blushed when I mentioned him....Mackie" Francis trailed off. Mackie begun to tear up, he couldn't hold back his feelings any longer, "Do you like Kiefer?" Francis finished.

Mackie shook his head, which made Francis raise a brow. He then realized it, "You...love him?" Francis asked, Mackie nodded as the tears begun to slide down his cheeks, "I'm sorry Francis...I don't know what to say....I don't how to feel...I don't even know how to act at this point...I just..." Mackie trailed off, clenching his T-shirt, "Mackie" Francis said getting up and hugging the other male. Mackie cried into Francis' shoulder, "You're okay, you're very Okay, don't worry about anything, what you feel is fine, its great, but you gotta tell him" Francis Told Mackie in a soft voice, caressing his back. Mackie paused the crying, "I can't tell k-" He was cut off by a voice from the other side of the door, "Tell who what?' Kiefer suddenly said before outside. Francis and Mackie both jumped, breaking the embrace, Francis unlocked the door and opened it, revealing a yawning Kiefer, the teen noticed Mackie with tear stained cheeks and puffy eyes, he let out a gasp, worry washing over him, "What happened? Are you okay?" he asked walking closer, reaching to touch him, Mackie moved away, "I-I'm fine" he said walking passed him, into the bedroom again.

Kiefer looked hurt at Mackie's sudden distance, Francis put a hand on his shoulder, "He just needs time, don't worry about it" He said before leaving the bathroom. kiefer stood there in confusion, "Don't worry about it?" He repeated to himself pushing his long hair out his face, he sighed leaving the bathroom, and climbing back into bed with the others, Mackie on his mind.

The next day, Mackie and Kiefer barely spoke, which only made Kiefer sad and confused, he still put up a act for Francis, (he was such better at that then Mackie) but he was so worried about Mackie. Jim was taking them out shopping, then to ice cream, they were downtown, going into the gallery. The boys smiled at all the stores, Mackie glanced to his side only to see Kiefer looking at him with a smile, he blushed looking away, missing Kiefer's hurt look. Francis stood in between them, Saving Mackie from the hypnotizing smile. Jim says they can split up and meet back up at the exit, they already had their money. Kiefer was going to suggest they go together but saw Francis and Mackie walking off together, whispering things to each other.

Kiefer wanted to cry, but didn't, why was his best friends treating him like this. He looked down and walked away in a different direction, Mackie saw him, but from his position, it just looked like he was walking away. "I don't know if I can handle this Francis, he keeps looking at me" Mackie whined, Francis crossed his arms, "Probably because you've been avoiding him and ignoring his existence" He stated with a tone that said it was obvious.

"Don't put it like that" Mackie said as his gaze softened, Francis put a arm around him. "Sorry but its true, I know your situation, but don't push him away, that'll only lower the chances of him loving you back" Francis said winking at his friend. Mackie blushed, "As if" Mackie said, as they walked.

Meanwhile, Kiefer was walking Around, his hands shoved in his pockets. He saw a oracle booth, he heard about it and decided to give it a try, he walked inside sitting down, the lady told him to wright down a question, and she would answer it, with the right answer. Kiefer nodded and wrote, 'Does Mackie still want to be friends?' And faced the card down. The lady told him no, Kiefer teared up, and ran out of the booth, ignoring the ladies protests.

meanwhile, Mackie and Francis had split up, Mackie spotted Kiefer sitting on a bench, wiping away tears, 'did i do that?' He thought before getting rid of his fear, running over. "Kiefer" he said once he reached the other boy, "What?" Kiefer said a bit more harsh then he meant, "I just wanted to see what's wrong" Mackie said defensively, surprised at the harshness. Kiefer stood up, glaring at Mackie, "You know what's wrong! Don't play dumb...don't talk to me...ever" Kiefer said, Mackie looked shocked, a sudden anger building up, "Fine! I don't care! I don't want to be friends!" Mackie yelled, regretting the words as soon as they were out.

Kiefer looked hurt, the tears fell again and he shoved passed Mackie, walking off. He saw Jim running after him, Francis walked over to him, "What did you do?" He asked sternly, crossing his arms. Mackie looked up, facing him, "I didn't do-" Mackie started but Francis cut him off, "Mackie" he said sternly. Mackie sighed, "I told him I didn't want to be friends" He said softly, Francis gasped. "But wh-" Francis was cut off by Jim, "Boys! Time for ice cream" The man called, a hand on Kiefer's shoulder, Mackie felt his heart ache, looking at Kiefer, his beautiful face was stained with tears, his hypnotizing eyes were puffy and red, his hair was messed up as if it had tried to been pulled out. But Mackie couldn't bring himself to say anything, Kiefer was in the same boat. He didn't know why he felt so hurt at what Mackie said, why his heart was in pain, why his world started falling over those words, over Mackie.
