It was nightmare for the Luke as he walked down stairs only to meet his family downstairs ready to eat and with his presence there they remembered he was part of the family.... Only a part of them that they could forget at any time.
"did a truck slammed your face bruh.... You look so dead" his brother laughed as he hit the table.
Luke just gave out the look of 'I don't give a fuck about your opinion dumb ass' before putting up a fake smile "hahaha funny. Very funny" he said with deadpin silent dropping in after. No one, I mean no one made a sound cause the person they were talking to was looking like a predator ready to attack his prey.
Luke sat down with no smiles nor williness to talk, he just sat down and started eating his food without waiting for anyone.
He was eating his food but he didn't feel the taste. It all tasted like shit and chalks or clay. Hmm just a bad vibe with things right now.
His family only saw his outer shell known as the physical body but his inner body, mind and soul weren't there at all. They were somewhere else.
'How am I supposed to face him after last night..... What the fuck am I going to do now!!!!' he screamed inside his head.
'this is bad, very bad.... I hate that dream and why must it be so hot that I had a wet dream. what was I even thinking' he said in his thoughts.
'AM. SO. SCREWED.'
"Luke..... Hey Luke darling" his mom called him that he snapped out from his train of thoughts.
"yes mom....." he answered with a gummy face.
"what is it, you suddenly zoned out.... Like I hope everything is alright with you" his mom spoke more calmly
"Am good, the zone out thing was just nothing OK you shouldn't bother thinking about it. I was thinking of something random in total" he faked smile to her to make her feel at peace while he barely holding on his wild thoughts and the inner conflicts that runs free within him.
"OK if you say so Hon.... But remember that it easy OK" his mom sounded a little worried and concerned.
"I will mom, am off to school now..... See you later" he stood up, get his mouth cleaned then went to kiss his mom good bye.
"see you later and take good care of your self" she shouts as Luke walked out the door.
.....
Driving to school was a war zone. He didn't bother to pick up Nathaniel because of the accident of last night.
After parking his car, he walked out from the car making his way to class but the universe has it's own plan for him.....
Standing by the hallway was Nathaniel, he looked a little pale but it made him look cool like an handsome vampire. With his black blazer and black shorts with his rough hair.
"come of it Luke..... He looks good yes but don't look at h.....him" he tried avoiding Nathaniel but his smile captured him making him stand still in the hallways.
"Hey nerdy what are you looking at" Blake sounded just close enough for Nathaniel to turn his head looking at their way.
"it's non of your fucking business star mouse..." he teased his twin before passing him by before making his way to class avoiding eye contact with Nathaniel.
********
Class was awkward with Luke and Nathaniel sitting closely with every class and the tension continues to grow cause now both of them didn't Know how to talk to each other.
Luke continue avoiding Nathaniel and likewise the other guy cause what were they going to say to each other that wouldn't make the thick air of awkwardness more thicker.
The classes went on and on then for that moment Luke book fell when both tried to picked it up meeting with faces up close
Both boys starred at each other for a long time. Luke picked his book up before Nathaniel could pick it up for him.
"thank you...." Luke said while not looking at Nathaniel directly in the eye.
With a little smile Nathaniel said "it's nothing and you know it" and there was silence for a brief moment before Nathaniel opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out but Luke knew what he was about say...
"yes am fine.... I know that's what you wanna say to me"
"ooh, yeah... That's great" Nathaniel says while scratching his back of his neck.
"are you good... You are acting weird" Luke asked as soon as he saw Nathaniel's weird actions.
"yeah am good..... But I should say the say the same to you. You've been avoiding me since morning did I do something wrong???" Nathaniel asked.
Immediately Luke face turned red and he faced the other direction to avoid Nathaniel from seeing him blushing "am good too.... Nothing bad, I mean you did nothing wrong and I wasn't avoiding you. I... I... I.. I was pissed this morning" Luke stuttered trying to hide his shaking voice but failed badly...
"ok... Good then you take me home today then" he asked
"yeah definitely...." Luke answered too quickly.
"and am soo sorry I didn't watch your game all the way.... I know what I did pissed you up and the way I behaved...."
"nooo, noooo, noooo. Am the one wrong here I behaved childish and I could have known better than to drag you to watch the game after what happened years back, am sorry...." Nathaniel cut him in his apology.
"sooo, we good.." he inquiries from Luke.
Luke turned to face Nathaniel "yeah..... We good"
Then in that moment their awkwardness disappeared and they related with themselves like before.
"Hey.... Will you still come to watch me play again today... If you can't it's fine " Nathaniel asked looking like he needed Luke to be there as if only he matters in the game court.
There was a small smile on Luke's face before he replied "yeah.... I will be there to watch you play...."
Both of them walked to the next class side by side laughing all the way there...
"I see you are happy with your boyfriend, I thought you two had a fight nerdy." Blake said as they both entered the class.
"ahh yes frog face we good now and our love will forever grow stronger...." Luke said with a teasing smile "isn't that right honey...." he turn to face Nathaniel.
"yeah... Bea I think he's jealous of us" he says looking at Blake before facing Luke.
"jealous of you two.... Don't make me laugh ok, you two are gross. Out of my way faggots" Blake said walking out the classroom
"see you around lovely brother...." Luke teased
Both boys laughed at the turn of events... "that was amazing. He was like hey fucking lovers and I was like hey honey"
"oooh my God, fuck that was funnier than I expected....."
"hmmm.... Hmmmm" the teacher coughs before completing his speech "please can you two take your sits"
"sorry Mr Johnson" both say together then they laugh it before they took their sits....
The lesson took place, Luke paying attention to the lesson, while Nathaniel stole glance time to time looking at Luke and how he answers to questions and writes down equations after equations it made him feel something towards him. Was it respect or something else he didn't know just yet.
Later they both went to the field with Nathaniel playing and Luke watching from the corner admiring him in his movements and styles...
"he's awesome..... And he would be a great basketball player I just know it" Luke says as he continued watching the game.
Later both of them walked to the parking lot together with them discussing on the game.
Luke was so engrossed in the conversation that he missed a step and was falling to the ground.
He closed his eyes embracing himself for the hard impact, but he fell into someone arms and steady chest.
He opened his eyes just to see Nathaniel holding him to his chest like he was breakable and this made his face red from embarrassment.
Nathaniel himself missed his own step and both landed on the floor with Luke underneath Nathaniel. Both holding into each other as if protecting the other.
It took few minutes before Nathaniel raised his head to see Luke's face if he was in pain only to see him stirring back at him.
Both boys were now stirring back at each other looking at their faces and features making them forget about time and their environment. They were lost in the moment and time seem to stand still.
"ehhhmmm" someone clears his throat before saying "you two are forgetting the kissing part or is that not included" the person asked with one eyebrow raised.
The two boys looked up to see a girl standing there looking at them with a brow lefted and a juice box in hand.
"Rita, we just fell down ok. It's not what you're thinking." Luke says as both boys got up.
Rita just smiled a little making Luke uncomfortable "what do you think am thinking about huh hot shot???" she asked.
Luke blushes hard as he replied quickly. Too quickly "nothing OK" he said as he turn to face his car.
"yeah nothing happened between us Rita and stop teasing the poor guy" Nathaniel said while dusting his shirt.
Rita just laughs as she walks to her car "ok if you two say so....." with that she drove off living the flustered boy and a grinning guy standing there.
"can we just go..... I need to rest from all the jumping around I did on the field today" Nathaniel said as he opened the front door of the passenger seat. "come on Luke let's go!!" he called out to the flustered boy who was still standing there like a statue... "am coming Nate" Luke said as he walked to the driver's seat.
Luke drove out the parking lot with the music "Addicted to you.... By Abel Rhythm" on his suno player.
"fuck my world.... This song is fucking giving me the vibes" Nathaniel says shaking his head.
Luke just smiles "thanks. The writer just dropped it newly on the suno app and I got notified so I downloaded it loving it at the end. you like the song????" he asked.
"yeah, like fuck it makes sense. perfect sense.
You are sending it for me" Nathaniel said with his voice raising as he talks.
Luke smile turns into a grin "alright but you know you can follow him up on the suno app, if you download the app you can get his songs too." Luke announced to Nathaniel as he took a turn.
"alright will do. First thing I'll do when I get home..... But the writer really knows his shit" Nathaniel laughs as he tries singing along with the music.
"yeah he does....." Luke turning to look at Nathaniel's laughter that sends beem to his way and he was so lost there and then.....
' why must I feel this way with him. Not with other people just him. And him alone' he says sadly in his thoughts.
........
The driving Stopped at Nathaniel's place dropping him off.
"thanks for the ride..... And later. One more thing I appreciate you for watching my game today." Nathaniel says as he was about to come down from the car.
"it is nothing, just happy to do what I can that's all." Luke says looking like he was talking to the most beautiful girl and he was impressing her.
"alright later... Lukey. Drive safe" Nathaniel says waving walking away from the car.
In a slow and low voice. Like a silent whisper Luke said looking at the back of Nathaniel as he walked away from the car "later Nate...." and with that he drove out the driveway.
Nathaniel Turned back looking at the car Luke was driving moving away from him he says under his breath "see you later". And he entered the house shutting the door as he walked pass.
