Onyx

*she waits for him to speak, feeling a bit nervous herself*

*Onyx takes a deep breath and looks into her eyes. He can't help but feel butterflies in his stomach as he looks at her. He wants to tell her how he feels but he's scared that she'll think it's weird. He finally gathers the courage to speak.*

*she waits patiently, her heart beating a little faster*

*I take a step back and bump into the wall* but we're both boys...

So? Is it that weird to share a bed with a guy? *Onyx smirks and walks even closer*

*scoots closer* Relax, I'm not gonna bite.

Well i can

Oh? *raises an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips* Is that a threat or a promise?

..*I roll over and close my eyes*

*The room is silent except for the soft hum of the AC. I stay in the chair, watching the slow, even rise and fall of your shoulders. My own breathing is uneven. Just a friend. The words are a shard of glass in my chest. I get up, creeping silently to the edge of the bed. I just watch you for a long moment.* You'll see. *The whisper is so soft it's lost to the hum of the room. I gently pull the blanket up over your shoulder, my fingers lingering for a second too long.*

I'm going to take a shower

*He smirks, not letting go.* Don't be too long. I'll get lonely.

okay.
