Sugar and Spice (BoyXboy)

Chapter 4

Kay's POV

As soon as I opened his black leather sketchbook, the part of me that loves thing like this went wild. The part of me that I would like to keep from Ren as long as I possible can. I can't let him see me like that. I don't want to scare him away. When I looked up, Ren was right in front of me and snatched the sketchbook right out of my hands. Aw. He's shy. How cute.

"Don't ever touch my things without asking ever again!" He clasped the book against his chest like it was a closely guarded secret. It probably was. I started to feel like I may have crossed a line but I really was curious. Of course the paintings he showed me would be good. He picked them out. I wanted to see what his art was like one the daily bases so I went with the first sketch book I saw. It was laying on his desk and I opened to the page that still had a pen in it. I seemed like the obvious thing to do to find out what I wanted to know.

I looked at his still reddening face. His soft brown hair was slightly out of place so I got up off of his desk chair and gently moved the few curls out of his face. "But why not? You're such a good artist. I loved the way the cat boy's face was so erotic." I really was genuinely impressed with his pen and ink work "Now don't be shy, Ren. I didn't think you could draw like that. Both their faces show all the emotion that comes with sex; lust, joy, exhilaration, connection with your lover, the list goes on." I could tell Ren wanted to punch me in the face but he didn't and I have no idea why. I wouldn't let him actually hit me but I would let him try if it made him feel better.

Our conversation was cut short buy a voice from down stairs. "Ren! Dinner! I made a plate for your friend too!" Ren turned around and walked out into the hallway. I felt like I might have pushed my joking too far this time but I really did mean everything I said. I really was impressed at how he captured emotion. I soon joined him in hallway with all of his family pictures on the wall. When I saw Ren's face it was still red, but that wasn't what I was looking at. A tear slowly made it's way down his pale pink cheek. I didn't mean to make him cry. I just wanted him to get a little mad.

"Ren." I stepped closer to him and reached out my hand. He batted it away and I chuckled softly. I didn't mean anything I said to be hurtful. Why is he crying? I reached out for him again and wiped away the tear that was now at his jawline. "I didn't mean to make you cry. I'm sorry. If it is your wish, I'll leave." I waited for an answer but didn't get one. I walked down the staircase and was almost at the front entrance when I felt a light tug on my sleeve. I turned and saw a pair of sad brown eyes staring at me. "You don't have to leave if you don't want to. I mean, my mom already made you a plate." His voice trailed off. I was kind of surprised to be honest. He's been trying to get me out of the door since the moment I stepped though it. I didn't expect Ren to stop me. I mean, I literally just made him cry. Damn, I'm such an ass. What kind of a person makes someone cry in their own house?

I reached and took his hand in mine and lightly squeezed it. "Sure. I wouldn't want any food to go to waste." I Let his hand go and  walked into the kitchen to saw two girls at the table. I recognized his mom sitting to the far left side, the other one I've never seen.

"Kay. That's my sister Breanna. She's three years older than us."

"Hello." I gave a small wave. "Thanks for letting me come over. Your house is very nice." I smiled and sat down a chair from Breanna and Ren sat in the one between us.

I looked down and saw a plate of what looked like grilled chicken and veggies with rice "I hope you like it. I started on it as soon as I got home. Now that I think about it, Ren helped a lot. He made most of it." Aw. How cute. He made me a home made meal. "So how's the project coming along boys? What is it that you have to do again?"

Both Ren and I looked up from our food "Well," Ren started.

"We have to paint something that represents our partner as a person." I turned to Ren. "I can't wait to see what Ren paints. I looked at his sketchbook and he really captures emotion. You should see his drawing of a cat." Shut up Kay. Why would I say that right after a made him cry? I looked over at him and before I could say anything else, he kicked my leg. Ow! That wasn't very nice of him.

"I didn't know you drew a cat. Can I see it after dinner. You know how much I love cats."

I could tell Ren was embarrassed because his face went a deeper shade of pink. "Nope. Sorry, it wasn't Ren that drew the cat. I thinks I was thinking about someone else from our class." Saved it. I didn't know how mad I made him until he stood up from the table and left. I feel like such an ass.

"Now, what was that all about?" This was the first time I heard Breanna say anything. Her voice was sweet but firm. It was actually pleasant to the ear.

"I think he's just exited to finish our project. I'll go help him out." I got up, taking both my plate and his in my hands and left the room.

When I reached to door to Ren's room, I knocked. "It's me. Can I come in, or are you still mad at me?" I heard footsteps and then the door opened. I was surprised to find a crying boy on the other side. What the hell is wrong with me?! This is the second time I've made him cry in the past five minuets! I stepped inside and took a deep breath as I set down both pates. "Hey," I said gently. He just sat on his bed and wiped away his tears.

"I'm fine. It's nothing really. I'm just overreacting a little." He sat up on the edge of the bed, his elbows on his knees.

I walked over to him and sat on the floor in between his legs. "Everyone knows that 'I'm fine' isn't fine. What's wrong?"

Ren's POV

Why is he sitting there?! He moved his hand to my leg. Okay, yeah. He is way too close. I was still crying but now my face had gone from pale to a rosy pink.

"It's just I've never showed anyone that sketchbook before. Not even my best friend of seven years. It's very personal and you almost outed my that personal secret to my family." I has started crying again. God why can't I just stop crying? It's not that big of a deal.

"Hey." Kay had moved his hand slowly from my leg to my chin. "I'm sorry. I didn't know it was the personal for you. I didn't mean to cross the line like that" He was looking in my eyes. His stare was captivating. It was like I forgot everything and was content. His Amber eyes moved from mine to my lips to my eyes again. "I'm so sorry.." I could tell he meant what he said. At this point his hand had moved from my chin to my cheek. I looked at him, his eyes on my lips. He moved in closer and his lips momentarily connected with mine in a gentle yet firm kiss that took my breath away. He backed away and looked into my wide eyes and smirked. "Calm down Romeo." My expression went from dazed to angry and confused. Kay just sat back and laughed.

"Shut up you ass!" I went to hit on his chest but he held my arms so that I couldn't land a single blow. My mind was swimming was emotions. This is the first time I've ever been kissed and it was Kay. The man who blackmailed me to be here and almost outed my second biggest secret to my family at dinner. I don't even know how to feel about him anymore.
