Deal

13-Win? Or Loss?

I closed and locked the door. Their shower is much more different. It has a bunch of buttons instead of levers. I pushed a random one and water started squirting from the ceiling. It was hot water. I took off all my clothes and pressed another button. This time a tile in the front of the shower opened up and squirted water forward. I went in front and found out that it squirts water at the... Sensitive and private parts of the body. I pressed a golden button and three tiles opened up on the side of the shower. They had shampoo, body wash, and conditioner. Gosh, this was like a shower heaven!

When I finally finished, I grabbed the towel and clothes from outside the door. I dried myself off and looked at the clothes. They weren't that big for me. Maybe just a size larger. Good thing that the pajamas he gave me were elastic or else they would fall off every step I take. I went into his room and I froze. There he was, right in front of me, putting on underwear...

"Oh, hey rob." He said calmly.

"......"

"Why are you so pink?"

"..............."

"You look like you've seen a- Oh..."

I just ran out of the room after he said that. I ran into the bathroom and locked it. Goddammit! Why didn't he lock the door? Dummy.... Now I feel... Weird. Like a feeling of.... Wanting? Do I want him? I read something about this in one of the professor's notes... It starts with an 'L'. But it isn't love. When I think of him naked like that, I get a really unusual feeling. Like I just want to hug him really tight. Also, I get an erection. This feeling I get is pleasurable but annoying.

"Hey," he said from the other side of the door, "please open up. I'm fully clothed now."

I hesitated, but I opened the door. Then, it's as if something took over my body and I launched myself at him. I wrapped my arms around him and pressed him tight against me. He hesitantly wrapped his arms around my waist. We were hugging again. I can't believe how many times we hugged now. Way too much for 'just friends'.

"You alright?" He asked with a hint of concern.

"Uh, yeah. I don't know what came over me. It was this weird sensation that I got when I saw you." I answered.

"When you saw me naked?" He smirked.

"Nyaaa!!! Don't say lewd stuff like that..."

"I was just completing your sentence." He chuckled.

"It was already complete without the use of pervy words." I told him.

"'Naked' is not 'pervy', it's an adjective."

"Shut up." I said.

"And maybe the feeling you had was.... Lust?" He suggested. That was it. That was the word I was looking for. It was that word that describes... Deep desire. But isn't it used to describe the deep desire for... Sex?

"Well, is it?" He insisted.

"I-I think it was actually..." I stuttered. I looked up at him.

"Then I'm glad." He smiled.

"Why? Shouldn't you be offended that I walked in on you like that?" I asked.

"Not really. I'm not ashamed of my body. And you shouldn't be either." He told me.

"W-well, it's different for you. You have a very nice body. Mine isn't so nice..." I said quietly.

"Nonsense. Every person's body is beautiful in their own way." He responded.

"I wish I could believe that..." I sighed.

He took my hands and I felt a rush. Like electricity went through me. I looked at his eyes. They were perfect. His eyes were the most beautiful I've ever seen.

"Let me help you..."

He let go of my hands and pulled my shirt off. I immediately covered myself with my hands. I didn't like having my shirt off. I didn't have his build. It always seemed hard for me to gain muscle, no matter what I tried. He held my wrists and pulled them away. He smiled and kissed my chest. He went to look at my back but I kept turning, trying not to let him see it.

"Hey, come on. I just want to see."

I gave up. I spun around and I was mortified. I knew that my back had deep scars. And I hated having them. They were the marks that will always remind me of my dark past. I hate my body...

"H-how? How did you get these?" He asked a bit irritated.

"I'd rather not talk about it."

He then started running his finger over them. One by one. I had many scars, but he didn't miss a single one. For some reason, I felt better when he was touching them. Then he started kissing them. His soft and gentle lips were pressing up against each of the scars that were sliced into my skin. The only ones who know that I have these are me, Kaylee, and.... Them.... I finally showed someone and he's kissing them. He's not disgusted of my body as I am...

"I hope you know that this doesn't change anything about how I feel about you." He said after he kissed all my scars. He stood up and faced me. Tears were running down my face but I didn't care. Normally, I hate letting people see me cry, but... I didn't mind doing it in front of Martin.

I let all the tears fall. They just kept coming and coming, tear after tear. Martin gripped my shoulders and pulled me into a hug. I cried into his chest, my tears soaking his shirt. My tears won't stop, the memories came back like a flood. I hated my body. I hated the people who did this. I hated myself. But if there's one thing that I'm sure I love... It's him. Martin.

"Hey, stop crying. It's alright. I'm here and I'll love you no matter what." He said reassuringly.

"I..."

"What?" He asked.

After he asked that, I looked him straight in the eye. My face and body growing hotter. I leaned in closer and put our lips together. He pulled me in tighter. We kissed like that for what felt like an hour. I broke it because I realized what just happened.

He just won the deal.

A.N.
*Insert realistically fake gasp here* Martin won?! What?! I thought Johnny would win and they'd be friends forever?! (Just kidding! Let's be honest, we all knew this would happen :P It's a romance for pete's sake! ) (sorry for any "petes" out there :) )

Fun fact: I was planning on them having s*x in this chapter but nah! XD Eventually though! :)

Happy reading my little bunnies!
