Chapter 06

He was there with Raenef.

He cared about Raenef, a lot.

Raenef was in his dreams often but this dream was different, Raenef’s hair was longer and his eyes weren’t blue. They were green, still beautiful.

Leeche had green eyes.

She had been crying the last time he saw her.

“But I was always jealous of Raenef for having you, Chris…”

Looking down at his companion he realized that this wasn’t Raenef he was holding closely to him this time. Leeche looked up at him with those same sad eyes she had before.

“Leeche…”

`

Chris opened his eyes.

That was the first time something like that had happened. He sat up and rubbed the sand from his eyes, it wasn’t uncommon for him to dream about Raenef, but he never dreamed of Leeche before.

Leeche had opened told him last night that she liked him, he hadn’t answered her, she hadn’t really asked a question.

Chris thought about it after a moment leaning back against the headboard. He hadn’t felt weird when Raenef had turned out to be Leeche in his dream. So was it just the fact it was a dream or could he have possibly liked it?

He wasn’t sure, he heard Hejem yelling at him from downstairs to wake up to get ready for school. He got up and headed to the closet and bathroom.

Do I like Leeche…?

`

“Morning, Chris, Raenef!”

Leeche bounded up to the two boys.

“Good morning, Leeche,” Raenef answered with a smile as she came up. Chris only nodded to her in acknowledgment. She hung her head slightly, he must still have been mad at her for the day before. She fell into step with the two boys falling silent.

It was a bit odd, since Chris and Raenef weren’t holding hands now, no one was looking, and they weren’t holding hands even before she came over, she frowned and wondered if they’d had a fight. The funny thing was Raenef didn’t look like it, but Chris just looked hollow, he wasn’t saying anything, and in his eyes she could see a storm.

`

Leeche would be staying late after school, since it was her turn to clean up the art room this week. Chris waited for her outside, he had told Raenef to go on without him, he had his tutor tonight anyway, so it wasn’t that big of a deal.

“Done,” Leeche sighed as she came out of the art room and returned the equipment to the janitor’s closet in the hall.

“Hey, Leeche,” Chris said, the blonde girl turned quickly, startled her pigtails fanning out around her slightly as she did so.

“Oh… hey Chris,” she acknowledged. “I’m sorry if you’re angry at me for yesterday… but…”

“No. I’m sorry.” Chris shook his head, “I’m sorry, for hurting you, if I did.”

Leeche looked at him with those same sad blue eyes, she still managed to smile, though it was a sad smile. “It’s fine, Chris, really.” She told him.

“No it isn’t, I’m really very sorry,” Chris told her, “Can we talk somewhere else?”

“Sure,” Leeche said walking with him out of school and down by the karaoke place where the three of them used to hang out on some weekends.

“I’m okay with it, if you like Raenef more,” Leeche spoke after a bit. “I already knew you did… but somehow I felt I should tell you anyway… it’s hard to keep things bottled up inside, you know.”

“I know.” Chris said facing her. “But I don’t know anymore. I like Raenef, but now it seems I also like you.”

Leeche looked up at his somewhat surprised, “You like me too?”

`

“Eclipse, I have a problem,”

“Yes, what is it Raenef?” Eclipse asked looking at the paper Raenef was gesturing to.
“Well, I just don’t get it,” Raenef admitted looking at Eclipse, slightly pink in the face, perhaps for embarrassment since they just went over this.

“We just went over this Raenef,” Eclipse sighed as he instructed him through the different steps to solve the equation.

“This is kind of boring though, isn’t it?” Raenef asked after a moment watching the older boy intently, his cheeks still semi pink.

“What would you prefer to do then, Raenef?” Eclipse asked him. Raenef crawled onto the desk towards Eclipse until their faces were only inches apart.

“Something less mental…” Raenef whispered huskily. “Something physical…”

Warm lips pressed to his own and Eclipse was lost. One hand came up to tangle into Raenef’s hair as the tie came loose his blonde hair falling down framing his face, as Eclipse sought entrance into Raenef’s heat. His request was granted and he fell back pulling the younger boy on top of him, holding him close to him, his other arm having come around the younger boy’s waist…

…

“Eclipse… Eclipse?”

Eclipse started slightly snapping out of his fantasy looking at Raenef who sat across from him gesturing a sheet at him. “I have a question about this one.”

Eclipse took the sheet and looked at it, and went ahead explaining it to him. “Oh, okay, I got it now!” Raenef grinning taking it back and continuing the work sheet.

Eclipse mentally slapped himself for even imagining such a thing between himself and Raenef. Even though of course we was just using this tutoring as an excuse to be with Raenef.

What’s a guy to do?
