Dangerous Thirst - It's Sizzling Hot

The New Kid

The class was silent. All you could hear was pen on paper as the form 10 students got on with their Maths essay. All of a sudden a boy walks into class and immediately catches Yuuto's eye. He eyes him top to bottom and then bottom to top even slower. His cute dark soft hair, Yuuto didn't know if it was soft or not but it sure looked like it. His face was covered in defined freckles and his glasses fit his cute face perfectly. He was wearing the uniform like everyone else but for some reason, it looked better when it fit perfectly in the curves of his body. Yuuto forced himself to look away, he didn't understand why he was blushing when looking at a boy. Then it hit him. He bit his lip in anxiousness and looked down in disbelief "No" he told himself, "I can't be can I?"

During the lesson and the rest of the day he hesitated to stare, and occasionally sent small glances towards him. The end of the day finally arrived and Yuuto was too embarrassed to hang around school like he would usually do. He kept looking down at the ground whilst he made his way to the gate. Even outside of school his feet started speeding up until it got to the point where he ran, he ran to his house as fast as he possibly could. He didn't know why he ran, after all, he wasn't being chased. He was simply running from himself and his thoughts, despite how insignificant the situation might be. But to him, he didn't want to believe it. He knew it wasn't true.

He huffed as he reached the door to his house, breathing heavily, and his hands on his legs, trying to catch his long gone breath. A few drops of transparent sweat fell from his forehead as he lift his head up and entered his house. No one was home so, he decided to go past everything, straight to his room. He dropped on his bed and sighed, looking up at the ceiling. "What am I doing?" He whispers to himself, turning sideways to the wall of his bedroom. He turned from side to side, as he tried to shove away all thoughts of that...boy. He scoffed in disbelief. He didn't even know his name! There was no way! He was straighter than a ruler! "Ugh!" He groans. He was just making assumptions, there was no use in even thinking about it. He didn't have feelings for anyone at the moment. NOBODY. So why would he believe his own messed up brain?

Yuuto shifted again, and shut his eyes tight to prevent any other thoughts to pass through his mind. Eventually, despite the time, he drifted into sleep, and his breathing began stabilizing, his facial expression relaxing, as he passed out, his soft, rosy cheek brushing against the thin cloth of his pillow. Hopefully, this was what he needed. And all the events from the previous day would finally abandon him.
