Magic boy (discontinued)

Chapter 4

I walk out of the school only to see Ace standing at his car as if he's been waiting for me. I head over to him walking to his car.
"Ace we need to talk."
I notice his worried look as I walk towards him and he sighs. His answer to my statement is short and sweet as if he wants to say it quickly before anyone else hears or before a big scene breaks out.
" just get in the car and we can talk this out! Please vlad just don't yell or anything "
I sigh as I take a deep breath and head to his car getting in as he slips into the drivers side. Once buckled up he takes off as if quickly heading to his house only for him to stop at a small run down dinner. Before we exit the car I lock the doors with the lock on my side.
"Explain now"
He looks down sighing his eyebrows knotted with anxiety as he soon looks over at me.
"The team said that if I  didn't get into someone's pants John would have his dad kick me off the team...his dad is the coach after all....you where the new kid and seemed to need a friend and I don't do that kinda thing... I barely know you and I'm only going to do something like that with a lover that I've know for at least a year before dating and another year after.....I guess... I don't know I'm weird"
I look at him and blink. Processing what he just said. Then I just undo my seat belt and unlock the doors.
"You could of just told me in the first place. Hell if you asked I might of helped and went along with it. "
I get out and head into the diner. I know he's following me since he opened and closed his door and he ran up next to me. I notice he's trying to make up for what he did since he's opening doors for me and pulling my chair out for me. I sit across from him and look at him.
"You know it wouldn't of worked if I didn't swing that way."
I say after we ordered our drinks and have jist now received them. I see him choke a little on his coffee. I sip on my tea chuckling lightly.
"Wait your into guys?!"
"Anyone actually. I'm pan romantic. Demisexual."
"Oooh I'm just gay...only John knows....it's why he gives me such a hard time...he doesn't really like anyone that's not cis or straight..."
"I see.  Guess he won't like me then. What if you just quit football? The art club is looking for another member and you don't have to be able to draw. We do so much more. Like photography and sculpting. Even painting."
"Won't I need to be able to draw to paint?"
" no you can do abstract painting. It might not be something you'll go into for a career but it's a lot of fun. Its a safer place as well so you wont have to worry about the team giving you a hard time. Everyone is so nice....all of them are part of lgbt so we can be ourselves there as well..."
He looks down thinking about this. He goes to speak but the waiter asks for our orders so we order then he looks down as he speak.
"I'll have to talk to my mom about it. If I don't talk to her first she can't convince my dad to allow me to switch to what I want to do. She's easier for me to convince then my father..."
"Do you want me there to help? I know most would want to do it alone but others might want someone there just in case"
"I'll talk to her on my own. If I decide to come out then I will need someone with me....probably my lover...."
I nod and I smile as we talk more about the art till we hear his phone go off as our food gets set down in front of us. He motions to me that he needs to step out for the phone call. I sit and eat as I wait for him to return. He comes back in anxious.
"Are okay Ace?"
"My mother called...she checked in and I told her about the art club....she said she rather have an artist then a football player."
I smile and nod. Once we're done eating we head to his house to hang out. Once there I look around and I smile
"At least we got this figured out...hey if the team gives you a hard time just tell me okay? I don't mind helping if you need it"
I see him give a nod and I smile happy as I look around the place seeing it all clean. It looks better then when I was here last night. I guess when your not half asleep everything looks better. I sit on the couch that's now clean and I motion for him to sit down.
"what is it that you wanna do?"
I ask as I tilt my head slightly.
"honestly......I have no idea...I've always liked games so I thought maybe a game developer? But when I told my dad he flipped out on me..."
He sighs as he looks down. Then he looks up at me.
"They'll be in town this weekend and I'm rather not be here. Is it okay if I come over?"
I nod giving a small smile.
"ya why not? No one is ever home till the late hours of night or early hours of the morning."
I smile more when I see his big goofy grin. I can tell just by that he's vary happy from what if said to him. I lean back putting my tea on the coffee table in front of me. I look up to see he turned on the tv and some type of action cartoon was playing. I smile and lean on him as I watch with him.
