Simply yours (Boyxboy)

Chapter five

(Graham)

As Damon embraced me I figured I'd keep it a secret, no one would ever know and eventually the feelings would disappear, by making this clear to myself I broke the hug and decided to find out why my Dames was so sad, "so Dames, why exactly did you come here?" I said smiling. Was that a smirk on his face..? NO. Don't even think that Gra. I told myself. And then he explained how the bullies had been onto him again today and how they had been worse than before. How broken he was. He showed me some serious bruises he had on his side and as he was talking small drops of tears ran down his face.

".... And then my book landed on me, they wrote something on it, I haven't checked it yet, but... I thought" and then his voice broke. "What did you think Day?" I said calmly.

"I thought that maybe.. Maybe you didn't care about me, and that made me more scared than I've ever been by the bullies, it filled me with a cold feeling.." He continued. I know it wasn't right and I knew I wouldn't have felt it but I felt a warm feeling spreading inside me, he cared about whether I cared or not. I thought. But then I interrupted myself. This wasn't okay thinking. I had agreed with myself to not feel like this for Damon. So I said "oh well, you know I care about you Dames, why'd you even think I didn't, I care because you're my best friend" and only best friend... Sadly, I finished the sentence in my head.

Then. I leaned over and hugged him, not a long warm hug but just a short one, I didn't want to make myself think weird stuff again.

"So Gra... Why exactly were you home today? I know it wasn't just that you were sick..." Dames said looking me into the eyes like they could tell the truth better than my voice. They did too, so I broke the eye contact in fear that he'd figure out I loved him. "I.. Was scared.." I said, "can't we talk about something else?" I saw that Dames was worried for me but he nodded slightly. We talked as the sky outside turned from light blue to almost black, the day was to an end.

We agreed to have the sleepover that didn't occur the night before. I was so nervous as we brushed our teeth and I knew that Damon saw it. When he asked I jut slightly shrugged and murmured that I was nervous for a test that was to come. Once again he didn't believe me but he didn't question it any further.

As we laid down in my bed I blushed as never before but hid it by turning my back against him. It was very dark in the room so he probably wouldn't have seen it anyways, but I wasn't taking any risks.

The minutes ticked by and an awkward mood was spreading over us both.

I heard Damon whisper my name so I turned to him.

"Gra, I know you're keeping something secret from me" he whispered. I felt my pulse beating and the bed all of a sudden felt very warm..

"What is it? I can't live with you lying for me Gra.." He whispered.

"I... I'm.. I'm" I said feeling my hands turning wet of sweat.

"Yeah.. You're..?" He said

"I'm.. I'm in love Dames" I said grabbing onto the mattress and closing my eyes. You stupid head, now he'll find out, you stupid stupid stupid dickhead! Why'd you say so? WHY? I thought to myself.

Damon looked relieved and excited. "Ooh.." He giggled "with who?" Come up with a lie, Gra, come up with a lie, come on..

"Erm" what if I just told the truth..? "Erm" Lie Graham. You have to..

"Erm..." I wouldn't have the courage to tell the truth.. lie now, come up with a lie..

"Erm.." And then I looked my love in the eyes and lied again, worse than ever

"..Amber" and then I turned my back at him and pretended to sleep.
