BEEEEEEP BEEEEEP BEEEEEP !
Jack groaned as he rolled in bed and tried to turn off the alarm and failed miserably as he fell off.his head throbbing with pain.he sat up and held his head in his hands as the memories of the past few days came back
His boyfriend had cheated on him with a girl and he had caught them making out IN HIS APPARTMENT of all places he had kicked him out with a broken heart and had a complete melt down it hadn't helped that his dad called only hours later asking if his sexuality had changed.his parents didn't support him one bit and certainly didn't accept him as their son they were constantly telling him to be normal as if he was some kind of freak.the bullying hadn't stopped still and when he opened his bag to do some homework to get his mind off of stuff....there was fag written with a red markers on practically all of the pages in his notebook that's when he couldn't take it any more he just wanted to forget that's when he pulled out the hidden stash from under his bed he rarely ever drank but he wanted to forget everything so bad
He got up the alarm was still beeping much to his annoyance he turned it off and staggered to the kitchen to get a glass of water he felt as if he was going to throw up.he looked around he small kitchen when his eyes landed on the calender on the fridge 11 March ...his birthday.
"Whoopie" he said swirling his finger in the air "I'm 18 happy fucking birthday to me"
"Your supposed to be happier than that on your birthday" a deep but amazingly soft and gentle voice came from behind him.he jumped as he turned around and saw a figure of a guy standing in the kitchen doorway.Jack stared,surprised.and he stared back equally surprised.
"You can see me"he breathed."you can actually trueky see me" this time he sounded more excited."wow I can't believe it".then he noticed Jack stareing and still in his trance "hello earth to jack"he said moving forward and waving his hand in front of his face.
Jack jumped back"how do you know my name? Who are you? How did you get inside?"he was glaring at his guy who stood calmly in his kitchen
"Whoa slow down .I'm......I'm......I don't actually know who I am.as for your other questions I live here too.you would refer to me as a spirit or ghost. I lived here for as long as I can remember but you didn't seem to hear me or see me so I gave up" he took a deep breath and looked down then looked up again.Jack noticed the colour of his eyes they were grey and lifeless but mesmerizing and beautiful at the same time
"Umm .... can I touch you ?"he asked as he took a step closer.
"No !" was Jack's immediate response as he backed away even more.
"I promise I won't do anything you don't like.I just want to see if i can touch you or not.even if it's as simple as touching your hand .I've been lonely too you know"he bit his Lower lip and looked at Jack with those big grey eyes
"Fine" huffed Jack unable to protest and held out his left hand.the spirit looked excited as he reached for Jack's hand with his right one but stopped midway. Jack looked up to see that he looked nervous.
"Well what are you waiting for?"Jack was feeling annoyed.
"Sorry I....."he becomes quiet and lightly touches the tips of his fingers with Jack's fingertips
"You're cold"Jack says as he feels himself shudder.
"Sorry"is the spirit's response as he pulls away
"Don't...."he starts and grabs his hand which makes him jump.
"You should let go" the spirit's voice is barely audible.he tries to pull away as his heartbeat gets faster
"But you're so cold" Jack protests as he lifts his head and looks into the spirits grey eyes getting momentarily lost "besides your the one that wanted to touch"
"Yes but...."he's cut off by Jack
"If you don't have a name can I give you one"
"Umm.sure I guess"he shrugs still trying to get his hand free and still trying to calm his beating heart.
"How does max sound ?"he looks at ghe spirit with his big blue eyes innocently.
That does it the spirit remembers the name max belonging to his dog when he moved in the appartment Jack absolutely loved it.but soon it got very sick and died in Jack's arm as he called his name over and over he had cried over it so much and had almost died from being sick himself.
"Yeah I'm fine with it"the spirit now named max hums and losing his self control hugs the other boy.
"what...."Jack is obviously startled at maxs actions.but is cut off when he feels maxs warm breath on his neck as he buries his head in Jack's shoulders
"You're so warm"he purrs.making Jack shudder
"Let go..."with some force he pushes max off of him."you said you wouldn't do anything I wouldn't like"
"You didn't like it?" Max questions with big puppy dog eyes and Jack looks away knowing if he keeps looking he'll admit something he doesn't want to
"Yes"he replies coldly and is met with silence when he looks up he is met with extremely sad eyes and complete guilt takes over him
"Sorry"max mumbles and suddenly disappears
"Wha!....where! Where did you go"Jack's stunned as he spins around trying to figure out where max went.he's about to apologise and tell him to come back.it'd be lying to himself to say he didn't like the hug.when he feels nauseous the feeling of throwing up comes as he rushes to the bathroom.he opens the door and falls as his legs give away he grabs a nearby bucket as he starts to vomit his head begans to hurt badly.when he feels a cold hand over his back and a comforting voice in his ear
"You're going to be alright just keep calm"max soothes as his hand runs up and down his back.his voice calms him and as soon as he's done he gets overtaken by weakness and falls into his chest as max runs his hands through his hair
"You're back ?" He throws a questioning look at max
"From the time when I was invisible I've seen you get hurt,breakdown,fall apart,cry,and become miserable now that you can see me and hear me and that i can touch you.I'm never leaving your side"he looks at him trying to see his response
"Why did you hug me ?"Jack questions
"Well....um.well because...."he leads off a slight blush appearing on his face
"If you haven't noticed until now I'm gay"Jack smirks turning to face him
"That doesn't make confessing any less embarrassing " max shoots back
"Confess ?"Jack says raising an eyebrow as realization dawned over max as he blushed like crazy.
"Um...well...I..."he tried to phrase his sentence as Jack began to laugh
"Save it"he said as he caught his breath "that's that's good enough confession now kiss me you fool"and looking into his grey eyes he closed his own as he waited patiently
Max smiled as he pressed his lips on Jack's as his hands circled around his waist pulling him closer and almost immediately melted into his warmth.Jack hummed in content awhichnd put his hands in his hair which sent shivers down maxs spine.the kiss was short and sweet and as max pulled away a small whine of disappointment left Jack's lips he was about to protest when max lifted him off the ground princess style and started to carry him to the bed
"Wait I don't think I'm ready for....."Jack trailed off looking worried and started squirming
"Don't worry we'll take it slow...I just want to cuddle"he reassured him as he kissed his forehead as Jack smiled and relaxed into his hold as he placed him onto the bed as he got in with him and cuddled as the both went into a realxed state
