When they broke apart for air Roy was surprised. "Richmond, why did you do that?" Roy asked. "Because…. Because I'm in love with you!" Richmond said. Richmond walked over to the other side of the room and sat on the floor with his back against the wall. "Why didn't you tell me?" Roy asked walking over and sitting beside Richmond. "Because I didn't want you to hate me even more than you do now." Richmond said. Roy could hear the added sadness in his voice. "Richmond I don't hate you." Roy said. Richmond didn't say anything and continued looking at the floor. "Richmond come on. Look at me." Roy said lifting Richmond's chin with his thumb and fore-finger. " Richmond I don't nor could I ever hate you." Roy said as he leaned in for another kiss. Richmond stopped him and asked "Roy, does this mean we're a couple now?" "Well I s'pose it does." Roy said happily.
When Jen had finally let them out at the end of the day Roy offered to walk Richmond home. Richmond accepted the offer and led the way. On the way out of the building people were staring and talking in hushed voices as the pair passed them. Roy grabbed Richmond's hand and the people around them gasped. By the time they were out of the building Richmond was blushing furiously. "Which way?" Roy asked. "Left." Richmond said pointing to the left. Roy nodded and started walking. They were half-way to Richmond's apartment when they saw a group of Goths sitting at the coffee shop. "Um…Let's cross the street here." Richmond said hurriedly. "Why?" Roy asked. Richmond was about to reply but it was too late. The Goths had spotted them. A particularly tall goth walked over to them. "Well ,Well if it isn't Richmond Avenal , and who's this a new bloke?" The Goth said. "It's none of you business." Richmond said angrily. "Oh come on now is that how you treat an ex?" The Goth asked. Fake sadness dripping from his voice. "That was a long time ago Kristoff." Richmond said angrily. " Come on leave him alone!" Roy said stepping between Richmond and Kristoff. "Stay out of it!" Kristoff yelled. "Don't yell at him!" Richmond yelled back. "Come on Richmond." Roy said grabbing Richmond's hand and starting to walk off. "Oh no you don't." Kristoff said grabbing Roy's shoulder. He spun Roy around and punched him square in the face. "What'd you do that for?" Richmond asked outraged. "He stole you from me." Kristoff said. Kristoff then walked the way Richmond and Roy just came from. "Come on, let's go." Richmond said helping Roy up. Roy nodded and took the offered hand. "I'm sorry about that." Richmond said sadly. "It's alright , wasn't your fault." Roy said smiling at Richmond. The rest of the walk home was peacefully quiet.
When they got to Richmond's apartment building Richmond asked "Do you wanna come up for a while?" Roy smiled and nodded. Richmond lived on the fourth floor in room number eighteen. Richmond's apartment wasn't at all what Roy expected. He expected the walls to be black with furniture that were various shades of gray. But instead he saw white walls and light blue furniture. There was also a nice T.V across from the couch against the wall. "Would you like something to drink?" Richmond asked as he through his bag on the couch. "Umm… what do you have?" Roy asked. "Well there's water, milk, absinth and I believe I have some Cuke in the fridge. "Oh I'll have some Cuke please." Roy said. "Ok have a seat I'll go get it." Richmond said walking into the kitchen. Roy nodded and sat on the couch. As he waited he flipped through a magazine called "Gothic monthly" on the coffee table. He was reading a very interesting article about applying eye make-up when Richmond walked into the room with two cans of Cuke. "Here you go one Cuke." He said happily handing one of the cans to Roy. "Thanks." Roy said accepting the can. After a few moments of silence Roy spoke up. "So…. What do you usually do for fun?" He asked. "Well I watch T.V or play video games." Richmond said fiddling with his soda can. "You play video games?" Roy asked surprised. "Yeah come with me I'll show you." Richmond said grabbing Roy's hand and standing up. They walked down a hallway and stopped at a closet. He opened the door and every shelf was filled with video game boxes. "These are all yours?" Roy asked scanning the rows of games. "Well when you don't have many friends you need something to occupy yourself." Richmond said blushing. "Can we play some?" Roy asked. "Sure pick one." Richmond said. Roy picked a game called "Left 4 Dead". "Here let's play this one." He said handing the game to Richmond. "I love this game." Richmond said happily.
After a few hours of playing, Richmond dozed off. Roy smiled at him and stood up. He walked around until he found Richmond's room. When he found it he went back to the couch and picked Richmond up and carried him to his room. Richmond was surprisingly light. Roy laid Richmond on the bed , took Richmond's shoes and covered him up. He was about to leave when Richmond grabbed his wrist. "Stay." Richmond said quietly. Roy smiled and walked around the other side of the bed and climbed under the covers. He smiled when Richmond snuggled up against him. Roy sighed contentedly and wrapped his arm around Richmond's waist. They both soon fell asleep.
OoOoO
I wasn't going to finish this but I got a wonderful review from "Momma Michelle" and decided to write another chapter. I might do more but I don't know yet. Tell me what you think!
