This is not art!

Chapter One: Childhood Love


Johan Oxenstierna is twenty and has held onto the ideal of his first crush for ten of those years. A few days after his tenth birthday Johan's fathers brought him to the Swiss Alps. Here he met his future wife. Well, at least he hopes it is his future wife. She was absolutely beautiful, standing with her two fathers, her long braids blowing in the cold wind. Her name was Alexis and she was perfect. They spent the whole month together playing and talking, bonding over their love of arts.

After that month when both returned to their homes Alexis agreed to go to an English college to reunite with Johan in ten years, when she graduated. Today is the start of the new semester, the start of the tenth year since that day. Johan is excited, of course, and doesn't even pay much attention to the dorms as he enters. He has a new roommate this semester, thanks to him and his cousin Peter getting into a fight last year. Hopefully this guy will be ok with a girl always being around.

Grinning to himself, Johan opens the dorm room door, quickly closing it behind him, and sees absolutely nothing. Not because the room is empty though, but because the lights are off.

"Is anyone in here?" Johan asks, a little annoyed at just how incredibly dark his new roommate made it.

"Silence is art!" A small voice exclaims, reminding Johan of Alexis for a minute. He shrugs it off though; he knows a lot of freshmen who are strangely eccentric about their majors. Especially art majors.

"Being able to see where I'm going is better!" Johan huffs.

"Mystery is art."

"Falling on my face isn't though!"

The boy groans a little and Johan hears movement from the bed. It's a feint noise, whoever the boy is must be small or just move very lightly. Soon the room is illuminated and Johan lets out a loud noise of shock. Standing there, is a sloppily dressed boy. He has a nice blue stripped dress shirt, but it is covered with an out of place white vest. His shorts are purple and baggy, and he wears a red beret. It's all so much that Johan has yet to even look at his face.

As soon as he does, though, he regrets it. Staring back at him with apathetic looking violet eyes is someone familiar. An unhappy familiar given their gender.

"…Alexis…?" Johan asks in shock and the boy nods.

"Hello Johan. It has been a while." The boy says and Johan begins reeling.

"No! NO! NO! NO! THIS IS A LIE!" Johan screams, going up to Alexis. "You're a girl and this is all just a disguise so you can…um…"

"Be in a dorm with you?" Alexis offers and Johan nods.

"Yes! That's it!" Johan says and Alexis looks at him annoyed for a minute before taking his hand and placing it on his own chest, showing him its flatness.

"I am a man, I thought you knew that."

"Of course not! Why would I want to marry a boy?"

Alexis shrugs. "Does it matter the gender of the person you marry? I have no problems with going on with your plans you constantly wrote me about. Of course…I don't want children though. Parenting is not an art I wish to do."

"Wha…? We won't do anything I wrote to you about! Ever!" Johan huffs and Alexis tilts his head to the side in confusion.

"Why not? I thought you loved me."

"I loved a girl! Not a boy! You are missing two very important appendages and have an additional one I don't want anywhere around me!"

Alexis frowns a little. "I see…" He mumbles, looking down at the ground for a moment before staring back up at him. "You will get over your aversions. You will fall for me again."

Johan crosses his arms and looks away annoyed. "Yeah, well, don't count on it!"

"Denial on you is annoying." Alexis says before picking up his art supplies. "I'm going out."

"Good! Feel free to get a new roommate!"

"Not a chance."

Johan glares at the leaving boy. "Brat." Once Alexis is gone, Johan throws himself onto his bed in anger. His first love, the person he planned on marrying one day, is actually a boy! He is NOT gay, at all. There's nothing wrong with gay people, obviously since he has two dads, but damnit he likes women. Alexis fooled him. The boy played him all these years, allowing him to think he was a girl.

Now that he thinks about it though, Alexis never technically said or wrote anything to make Johan believe he was a girl. When Johan had brought up marriage, Alexis suggested a place where gay marriage was legal. The time he brought up children, Alexis said he wasn't too keen of the idea. He never called himself Johan's girlfriend or future wife. In fact, looking back on it, Alexis never seemed to fond of the idea. Perhaps he actually isn't. Maybe Alexis wants him gone as well.

After a few hours Johan has settled in and is now typing away on his computer, doing the first homework of his classes before the class actually starts. He has nothing better to do after all, everyone is off busy with someone and he had told them the day before to make sure they were so he could have Alexis all to himself for the day. What a waste that was.

"I'm back." Alexis mumbles, pulling Johan out of his thoughts.

"Oh, welcome back Alexis." Johan says awkwardly as the boy walks in, dripping wet. "…You're…wet…"

Alexis nods, beginning to unbutton his vest. "Yes. It's raining."

Johan looks at him surprised. "What were you doing in the rain?"

"I was painting it."

"Wha-? You could have caught a cold you idiot!" Johan scolds and Alexis shrugs, sliding his vest off before unbuttoning his shirt.

"Rain is beautiful. Rain is art. If I catch a cold for art, it's a small price to pay." Alexis says before he drops his shirt.

Johan turns to yell at him, but quickly comes to a stop at the sight of his past love interest shirtless. Of course Alexis' body is nothing like Johan had expected, since he's a boy. It is still strangely beautiful though, his pale skin dripping with rain water and a slight pink tint to it from the cold. If it weren't for the flat chest, it would be exactly what he'd always imagined.

"You can't tell me you aren't interested in me when you stare like that simply over me being shirtless." Alexis says, staring at Johan.

"I-I'm not staring!" Johan exclaims, going bright red and turning back to his computer. "I am simply mourning the lack of breasts!"

"If I had breasts you would be interested?" Alexis asks, looking at him curiously. "So all I have to do is wear a bra and stuff it with fake boobs?"

"N-no! I want real breasts! Ones that don't fall out when the girl's shirt comes off! A-and even if you somehow managed that, you still have a little something extra I don't want!" Johan says flustered and Alexis looks down at himself.

"I wouldn't call it little…"

"Ugh! You're not helping!" The red head yells before turning in his chair to be face-to-face with Alexis. "Look, I'm not interested, and looking back on your letters I know you weren't exactly ecstatic at the thought of marrying me either! Just drop it and let's move on with our lives!"

Alexis' brows furrow in confusion. "I was not ecstatic? What makes you think that? I've responded to all of your letters, offered places we could be married that would allow it, and told you I could not wait for us to meet. I even came to the school you wanted us to meet at ten years ago and made sure to get the same dorm room as you. How is that not ecstatic?"

Johan stares at the boy in shock. Looks like the boy won't be giving it up easily like he had hoped. "I...I won't marry you."

"Yes you will."

"I'm not into guys!"

Alexis shrugs. "You don't need to be."

"How does that make sense?" Johan fumes.

"I won't have to share your affections with other men." Alexis answers.

"I like women!"

"We can change that."

"No you can't! It's not a changeable trait!" Johan groans.

Alexis leans down and moves closer to Johan's face. "In all these years you have only been attracted to me, you said so. Whether it was when you thought I was a girl or not, you are only into me."

Johan's face goes bright red and he pushes the smaller boy away. "I-I am not! It's different now! I will never be interested in you!"

"I will make you fall in love with me." Alexis says, nodding to himself. "Yes, making you fall in love with me is art."

"It is not and it won't happen!" Johan whines.

"Whining is not art." Alexis points out and Johan groans.

"That's it! I'm transferring colleges!"

"Alright. With my grades we can go anywhere." Alexis says and Johan twitches.

"Who the hell is this 'we'? Damnit, I hate my life!"


A/N: I don't know if this would be accurate for their personalities...but...meh. First time writing them, so yeah. They need more love. So um...yeah...I hope this is okay. lD
