Asher's pov
Asher bit his lip under his blue mask as the handsome male doctor impaled his skin with Daeltho. "One more, one more!" The doctor tried to cheer Asher up. He knew how much he loathed needles. "ugh," Asher gulped wincing. "Don't remind me, Antonio." Antonio was Italian. He and his brother fled to New America to get away from the extreme Paey Paey apocalypse. Antonio had gained blue eyes, like everyone else, from all the Daeltho he'd received over time. It was slightly unnerving to know all humans on New Earth have blue eyes. Antonio looked up at Asher with his blue eyes. There was something there, in those eyes. Like... a wanting. It made Asher's breath catch. "Are you ready?" Antonio asked, looking away. Asher nodded, grabbing Antonio's hand. The last shot always put Asher unconscious. It wasn't unusual, it happened to many people. No one really knows why, though. Asher felt his consciousness slipping as the needle pierced his skin. "I... I love you, Ash." Antonio's voice seemed to come from a tunnel, from far away. Asher didn't pay much attention to it. He was talking to someone else... right? Darkness.
Asher's vision was blurry when he woke up, and his head hurt. "Asher? Can you hear me?" It was Antonio. He was sitting in a chair beside a hospital bed, gazing at Asher with nervous, blue eyes. Asher knew he was hesitating to say something. "What is it?" He asked. Antonio looked away from Asher, combing his fingers through his black hair. Asher reached out to Antonio and touched his arm. Antonio whipped his eyes back up to Asher's. He only then recognized the look in Antonio's eyes. Lust. It was strictly forbidden on New Earth. "Asher?" Antonio started. "Y-yeah?" Asher blushed at his stuttering. Antonio knew Asher only stuttered when he was flustered or embarrassed. Antonio chuckled, making Asher blush more. Antonio blinked, and Asher saw the lust in his eyes amp up a few levels. "Asher?" Antonio asked, getting serious again. "Do you remember what I asked you last night?" Last night? Antonio said a lot of things. Asher replayed everything that happened.
"One more, one more!"
"ugh,"
"Don't remind me, Antonio."
"Are you ready?"
"I... I love you, Ash."
Asher gasped, wide eyed. "Y-you said you l-loved me..." Antonio was silent, just staring, almost sadly now, at Asher. Finally he asked, "do you love me?" Antonio was very blunt, always wanting to get to the point instead of beating around the bush. "I... I need time to think about this. I didn't know you-didn't think that-" Asher struggled for words as the lust got more and more noticeable in Antonio's eyes. "I want you, Ash." Asher gulped. "But-but that's against the rules-" Antonio cut Asher off by pinning him to the bed. "A-Antonio?!" Said boy leaned down and caressed Asher's neck, careful not to leave a hickey. "Screw the rules," Antonio said, lifting his shirt over his head. Asher drooled over Antonio's perfectly chiseled six pack. He ran his hands delicately over Antonio's obdomen, eyes wide. He'd never done this before. It wasn't even Reproduction Season, and you weren't allowed to RS with the same gender. But, Asher, yearned to know how it felt to have Antonio's hot body rubbing against his. "Are you ready?" Antonio asked. Asher would have nodded. He would have reached up and impatiently smashed their lips together, if a loud ass alarm hadn't have went off. ""ATTENTION! EVERYONE STAY IN THE BUILDING YOU ARE CURRENTLY IN! THIS IS NOT A DRILL. CODE BLACK! I REPEAT! CODE BLACK!" Asher looked up at Antonio in horror. Code Black meant... "Paey Paey," Antonio whispered angrily to himself.
"How many are there?" Asher asked as Antonio pulled him down a dimly lit hall. "Usually," Antonio said. "They don't alert people when it's one or two. There could be about ten out there." Antonio lead Asher down another dim hall silently. "Where are we going?" "To my basement." Antonio looked back at him, smirking, "I'll be able to finish what I started." Finally, Antonio stopped at a brown wooden door. He pulled out a key and unlocked it, pulling Asher inside and closing the door behind him. Immediately, Antonio pushed Asher down on the mattress in the huge basement.
