Dustin was up around six o'clock the next morning and his vision was
anything but perfect. The night before seemed like a blur to him and he was
sure he had enjoyed it. He had spent the night in Cam's bed and to his
dismay Cam had decided to spend the night on the couch. He was going to
harass him about that later but now he needed coffee. He headed for the
kitchen that was small but just right for the amount of space provided. He
was praising Cam for owning a coffee machine and quickly made a pot. As he
reached for the grounds he heard someone behind him. There was no shuffling
feet so who ever it was, was fully awake. He stole a side glance and
noticed Shane standing in the doorway. His glance was staring at the ground
and he wasn't speaking. Dustin had to admit that a touch of anger flickered
in him. He wanted to tell Shane to leave and not to talk to him but Shane
was a childhood friend. He went about his way waiting for whatever Shane
was going to say.
"I'm sorry" the voice was so low that Dustin missed it the first time. He turned to look at him and noticed that tears were falling. He wasn't going to try and make it feel better. He watched as Shane stood there and he waited for the coffee. Shane knew that Dustin was not going to forgive him right off the bat.
"So, you and Hunter?" Dustin said with a touch of venom that made Shane recoil. He shuddered not liking the tone in his voice. He was at a loss of words when he felt the hand on his waist. He turned and noticed Cam trying to slip by him. His eyes were half closed and was getting around by pure luck.
Cam awoke to find that Dustin was out of bed and that there were voices coming from the kitchen. He had only fallen asleep a hour ago, now he was hearing anger from the small room across the hall. He was surprised to find Shane blocking his entrance and now he was worried. After last nights conversation with Dustin Cam knew Dustin was not in the mood for anything bad. He found his way to Dustin's side and kissed him on the cheek picking up a cup for coffee. He glanced back at Shane who had not moved from the doorway and Cam took it as a defense mechanism.
"Shane why are you here. You, like freaked on me and now you want to say your sorry. To top it off you and Hunter have been dating and you were going to act shocked when I told you I was gay. Not to mention the fact that it should not have been a shock. I wear yellow." He stressed the last few words as if it were important. Dustin was standing in front of Shane with his arms cross his chest. His hair still unkempt and his eyes flickered with hatred and sadness. He backed up a step and found himself in Cam's warm embrace. He looked back and a warm smile was on his face. Dustin lightened up and smiled a little. He did not however expect Cam's next action.
"Dustin could you leave me and Shane alone for a few minute." His voice held no anger nor any sign of emotion as he looked into Dustin's brown eyes. Dustin only nodded as he scooted past Shane who attempted to do something but looked helpless.
"Shane as a leader you are the best, but as a friend you seem to lack some key points." Cam said dryly as he sipped his coffee at the half bar. He was feeling his animosity from the past coming back. He looked at Shane who seemed taken back by Cam's truthfulness. Sadness collided with anger in his eyes and he was unsure how to respond. Cam took point to continue before Shane had time to think of something.
"More to the point I knew Dustin was different since he started attending this school. You don't know how hard it was for me to notice that he had more interest in you than anyone else. Case in point me. I tried to get his attention multiple times but he was always at your side. I think the hardest thing for him was that you were not there for him." Cam stopped for another sip and he could tell that what he said, however harsh, was sinking into Shane and it was reflected in his eyes. He felt bad for having to do this to him but someone had to cause Dustin would only hold his grudge. He sipped again as Shane finally took a seat across from him. He propped his head up in his hands and looked at Samurai.
"That bad." he finally muttered as he looked into the room where Dustin was laying on the couch, flipping through the channels. He really felt bad if what Cam was saying was true. Had he really not noticed Dustin on that type of level. Now he was forced to find out from Dustin himself. The only bad news was that Dustin wasn't talking to him. He arched back and stared at the ceiling. 'No time like the present' he scooted back and crammed his hands in his pockets. He took another look at Cam who was still sipping his coffee. A dark look washed over his face. Shane turned and walked into the bedroom.
Dustin could hear Shane approach and his position tightened and his stomach fought with him. He really didn't want to talk right now. He only wanted to talk to Cam. He knew he was acting like a child but he had another problem at the back of his mind. His parents had called last night and basically told him that he had a week to move all his belongings out of his room and they were excommunicating him. In the back of his mind he saw it coming when his father swung at him. 'Mental note Dustin, next time don't tell anyone who is drunk'. If it wasn't for his speed and training he would have had a black eye. He swung his head as Shane sat in front of him. He exhaled and stood.
Shane reached for Dustin's hand and forced him to stop. He could register two things with what he had did. He had bought time and pissed him off. Dustin sat back down and glared at Red. "Stop trying to run I am really sorry for my reaction. I did not know that you had feelings for me and yes I should have told you that Hunter and I have been going out. I really did not expect , uh , bro I am sorry." Shane had yet to let Dustin's hand go and Dustin had yet to remove it. Somehow it was not bad. He looked into Red's eyes and knew he was truly sorry. He finally removed his hand and called for Cam.
"Cam-kun" his voice was sheepish and adorable, some what innocent. Shane looked at him and Cam entered sitting next to him. Coffee still in hand and another cup for Dustin.
"Yes Dustin" Cam said sweetness filled like thick honey. He looked at Dustin and Dustin lightly smacked his shoulder.
"You told him I liked him" Dustin's voice took on a girlish tone and he giggled. Cam smiled as did Shane who was hoping that Hunter had come with him. Not for support but so he could share the feelings Dustin and Cam were sharing right now.
:TBC: Okay I love the reviews and I updated so that the first chapters last paragraph wasn't so long. Also even if you flame than I hate to tell you I laugh at them.=) NEWAYS R&R.
