Chapter Five

PREVIOUSLY:

Garroth got up quickly and left the room, grabbing Travis by the shoulder, "We need to have a little talk. Outside." He dragged Travis outside.

What did this talk have to ensue? Travis didn't know, and he was frankly scared to find out.

****

Travis gupled, "Why did you drag me out here?" He asked, legs shaking slightly.

"I want to talk to you about something." Garroth's brows were furrowed, "You are the most inconsiderate, know-nothing, lowlife I have ever met! You rat Laurance and I out, just to get you and Dante out in the process. Do you think Dante wanted us to know about you two, or at least to know that we knew about you guys all along? And. . . And--"

"Garroth! This is going to be okay, okay? It's all going to blow over soon enough." Travis said, putting a soft hand on his shoulder.

The blonde shrugged the albino's hand off harshly, "Don't touch me. I know what you're trying to do, and it's not going to work!"

"I'm not trying to do anything! I'm just trying to be a good frien--"

In a split second of feeling no pain at all, Travis felt a strong sting spread out across his cheek. Garroth had punched him and now he had a bloody lip and a red cheek. The white haired male looked up at Garroth, his green eyes piercing into the blonde's soul. Garroth had struck a chord with Travis, and he wasn't happy. Travis wasn't calm and collected anymore, he was furious.

Travis whipped his arm out of its resting position and gave Garroth a swift uppercut. The blonde staggered, a large bruise starting to form on his jaw. When Garroth's eyes focused on Travis, he saw a furious glare headed his way. The white haired males face was molded into a look that Garroth had never seen before. It held fury, resentment and a whole host of other emotions Garroth couldn't name.

Before he knew it, Travis was lunging for him once again. He tackled Garroth to the ground, where the two wrestled around in attempt to get the upper hand. It all ended when the front door opened behind, and a faint light shined on them. Travis had Garroth straddled with his fist in the air while Garroth was trying to wiggle out of his grasp when there was a booming voice that stopped them.

"Both of you are children!" Laurance, "Break it up before I break you!" Garroth's dreamboat. . . Wow.

The two males on the ground turned their heads to the brunette looming over them. Garroth gulped, and quickly scrambled out from under Travis, causing the white haired male to stumble slightly and lose his balance. Travis ate the dirt for a moment before scrambling to his feet, standing alongside the tall blonde he'd just been in a quarry with.

"What were you two thinking?" Laurance tugged on the jacket he'd thrown on so that it could cover a bit more of his torso than it already had, "Fighting on the ground? While it's SNOWING? Come inside before it gets any colder out here. We don't need you guys getting hypothermia or frostbite or whatever."

The brunette waved his hand forward, signalling the other two boys to come inside. Travis and Garroth looked at each other guiltily before trudging inside. Travis was in first, subtly cutting Garroth off right before the blonde had walked in. Garroth's brows furrowed, but he didn't say anything just to save the situation from becoming any worse than it already was.

"Travis!" Dante started, noticing his lovers busted lip, "What the hell were you thinking?"

"I didn't start it!" Travis responded.

At those words, Laurance gave Garroth a look before shrugging off his jacket and putting it back on the coat hanger.

"That's so childish. Come on, Trav. Lets get you cleaned up." Dante took the white haired males arm and dragged him away to the kitchen.
