Around and Around (boy x boy)

Chapter 10- August

I sat back against the wall, looking out of the window at the little stream that ran through the field beside our house. It was calming. Alice In Chains was playing from my stereo, Zach laying on my bed, his feet in front of me. I looked over to see his eyes were closed. I didn't think he was sleeping though. My suspicions were confirmed when I heard him clear his throat, and began moving his foot in a sort of tapping way.

"What do you want to do today?" His deep voice startled me. I looked over to see that he had moved his hat over his eyes. I scowled.

"I don't know...," I replied dully. "School's gonna be starting soon." I sighed angrily at that thought. "Let's do shit that I won't be able to do as much once that shit starts." But then again, I also felt like doing absolutely nothing so that time would go incredibly slow and it would take forever for that Hell to begin.

"Mm.. like drink?" He suggested slowly, a smile tugging at his lips. I snorted lightly and shrugged, but then realized he wasn't looking at me.

"I guess," I replied unsurely.

"Well you just tell me when and where," He breathed as he stretched his arms up, exposing a good bit of his stomach. I couldn't help but look, swallowing nervously.

Zach and I seemed to be getting closer as time went by. We had yet to kiss again, though. My stomach warmed every time I looked at him, though, and I couldn't help but smile to myself when I thought about him... He was confusing me though. Some days he would be affectionate towards me, happy to talk to me, all that bullshit; and other days he would pretty much completely ignore me. I was beginning to feel the need to say something to him.

I glanced across my room to see Killian sleeping under my dresser. He was beginning to barely fit under it anymore. He'd gotten big fast. After watching him for a couple more seconds I looked back at Zach to see that his hand was down his pants, scratching at his crotch. He had a very displeased look on his face. I couldn't help but laugh to myself and look away.

"I am bored," He announced once he was done scratching himself. I rolled my eyes slightly.

"Yeah, I can tell," I muttered. His hat was still pulled over his eyes like he was trying to go to sleep. Suddenly, with a groan, he sat up and looked at me, his eyes squinted slightly from the light. He gave me a snobby looking grin. I shook my head and frowned at him.

"What is wrong with you?" He asked in a very exaggerated way. I couldn't help but laugh lightly. He smiled and grabbed the back of my neck, shaking it gently for a moment. I was happy that today he'd decided to pay attention to me.

I grabbed Zach's hat from his head and noticed that his hair was extremely greasy. "Ew," I said, giving him a disgusted look. "You need to learn how to take a fuckin' shower."

"That is why I was wearing the god damn hat," He retorted, ripping it from my grip and placing it back on his head. I needed to take a shower as well. They got too repetitive, and I lost interest in washing myself quickly. "I suppose you are correct, though," he said through a yawn. "I do need to shower." He sat there for a moment before standing. "I will do that now, actually. Maybe it will wake my ass up a little..." He stretched his arms up once more with a groan and turned to leave my room. When he reached the door he stopped and looked back. "Are you going to join me?" He asked, one of his eye brows raised. My stomach dropped. Was he serious?

"W-well.. uh," I stumbled over my words. He let out a loud laugh.

"I am just kidding," He snickered before leaving my room and shutting the door behind him. I was left in wonder. Did I want to join him? Not really... The thought of seeing him naked made me quiver slightly. Not only that, but the thought of him seeing me naked made me want to throw up. I was always so self conscious of myself. I groaned quietly and gripped onto my hair, feeling drained emotionally. I didn't know what to do with myself.
