Chapter 2
~Run~
If it was something I was proud of myself over now, it was my ability to get up at half past four in the morning without having an alarm clock to scare me out of sleep. I, unlike a lot of others, did no longer have to have the clock screaming at me to get me to leave my warm, cozy bed at this inhuman time to get up every morning. I was with the first to rise, and I was never the tiniest bit tired. My eyes just went up at four thirty, staring at the blinding, flashing red letters on the digital clock, smiling to myself. I had done it again, managing to wake up at the right time. I quickly sat up, exited to get into my clothes and out on the grounds, but this morning was different from any else. I was met by another human, standing tall in my room and staring down at me. I let out a shriek and grabbed the shirt's fabric above my heart, forcing it to slow down and not to explode right of through my skin.
"B-Berwald! Y-You scared me…!" I tried to catch my breath, punching it into my head that (surprise!) I now had a roommate. I wasn't yet used to have another human being, which was up before me, in my room! No one of my earlier roommates had gotten up before me! No matter who, what, when, I was always first. I looked up at the giant before me, having calmed down incredibly. I looked even scarier in the dark room, hovering above me, staring me down. I swallowed hard and slowly made a move towards the wardrobe. "Y-Yeah… Um… Good morning I guess… We should get ready, running starts in half-an-hour…" I laughed nervously and quickly dived into the wardrobe, digging through my clothes after underwear and a clean tank top, I could use the one from yesterday, but I refused to meet his scary green-blue eyes just yet. I already said he was scary!
"Nh." He didn't even answer with words, just grunting as confirming he knew, and he was ready.
"We don't get to eat before, so we'll just go out and see who else is awake...?" I took out the clean clothes, unashamedly changing (we were both dudes, so it shouldn't be a problem) my underwear, pulling on a pair of pants, the tank top and a sweatshirt over it. I zipped the zipper all the way up and sent an insecure smile at Berwald, checking if he were ready. He nodded at me, and we made our way out the room. The dorm was quiet as usual this morning; everyone was still sleeping, giving themselves an extra quarter until they really had to get up to get ready and awake. There were sounds coming from some of the rooms, telling that people were up and going. We met a few in the hallways, nodding a quick greeting and then continuing out on the grounds towards the place where we all met before starting running.
To no surprise at all I saw Feliks standing in the middle, painting his nails with an annoyed face. There wasn't one person who wondered how the heck he was still in. When he first got here with the group including me, no one thought he'd last longer than five minutes. I guess it was because of Toris he was still up and going. Toris had been his roommate since forever, and the two of them never did anything without the other. It was Feliks who started, crying and clinging around his arm the first day, begging him not to leave without him. And so my first day at Lumikukka had been filled with Toris running around, trying to get rid of the crying Feliks who refused to let go of his iron grip around his arm. After a few exhausting hours, the Head Master had grown tired of the screams echoing through the school, and let Feliks share room with Toris, at the same time Toris had grown tired of Feliks also, and so written his miserable fate together with Feliks as he agreed on being roommates with Feliks. The polish boy had recovered immediately and dragged Toris to a room where he "could tell Toris all of his secrets so they could become the best of friends forever and ever!". Do I have to say Toris pleaded for us to save him? But mean (scared) as we where, we simply waved him off and watching him being dragged away to be enwrapped in the glory of nail polish and hair products. Feliks world.
"Hey, Liet? Does this look good?" I heard Feliks shrill voice call and saw him reach out his right hand, with nails painted so they looked like a sparkling rainbow, to Toris who took a step closer and inspected the nails. He then smiled at Feliks, who let a small blush cover his cheeks.
"They look really good, Feliks," Toris said and stood up again, looking down on Feliks' smile.
"Gee, thank Liet!" the smaller exclaimed and proceeded in doing the same on the other hand.
Yeah, no one really understood how he was still here. With everyone assuming him having a relationship with Toris too. Relationships weren't accepted in Lumikukka, you were allowed to have a girlfriend/boyfriend outside the school, but inside the massive white walls, it wasn't okay. If someone found you and your boy-/girlfriend out, you were both expelled. Immediately. Without exceptions. But apparently Feliks was an exception, because, as I saw, he was still there. And Toris too. They weren't expelled in any way, and still as cheery as ever. Feliks must had done something extremely good or amazing to still be here, considering he was the most girly person I've ever met, yes, girls counted. I had never seen him to something over average, but I guess he had some skills only the director knew about. It was also rumored he was a relative of the director, and that's why he was still in. We also had the rumor that he did the directors hair, which also sounded very possible.
And so, Feliks was the most social person in the school. He always noticed new people, always talked to them and knew everyone, their pasts and what they did now. So for the time being, I just wished he wouldn't notice Berwald and-
"Hey, Tino! Is that the new student? I heard he'd stay with you!"
I resisted the urge to face-palm and force a smile at Feliks who made his way over to us. "Yeah, this is Berwald. Berwald, Feliks. He's the welcome committee."
"It's, like, really nice to meet you! I totally want to know everything about you, especially why you look so, like, scary and stuff. It can't be healthy! I bet you'll get wrinkles if you keep that frown up! I know this really good skin crème…" Feliks started as usual, the only thing his talk doing to Berwald's frown was deepening it.
"F-Feliks, I think you should get back… The running starts soon and Toris seem lost," I said and nodded Toris' way, trying to get the chatty blond away. Feliks looked back at his approximate boyfriend who really looked lost when the only he could talk to right now was with me and Berwald.
"You're right!" Feliks sighed dramatically. "He really can't do anything without me! Well, I guess I have to go save him! I'll, like, see you later!"
I waved him off as he returned to throw himself into Toris arms, the brunette hugging him back, before putting him down and continuing their conversation about nail polish and colors.
"Sometimes I don't get how he can be more female than me" a voice came up behind us. I turned around and saw the only girl in school there.
"Good morning, Elizabeta!" I said cheerfully and smiled at her. She smiled back and gave my shoulder a quick squeeze, the closest to a hug you could get from her. I liked her, Elizabeta were a really nice girl, she's funny to hang out with and she says I'm one of the only guys she likes to spend time with. That makes me feel happy, sure I've seen her hang out with Feliks and Toris too, and it makes up a pretty obvious pattern. She only hangs out with gay guys. Yep, I'm gay. Have been for all of my life, I've even had some short relationships. My relationships never held for longer than a month, and we never got longer than kissing. It felt wrong doing even that when my mind still was all about one special five-year-old.
It was understandable that Elizabeta only hang out with gay guys though, it could never be that fun to hang out with a bunch of sexually frustrated teenager boys for so long. Lucky for her we where five openly gay guys in this school. Feliks and Toris, as told earlier, everyone knew they were dating. Ten it was Mathias and Lukas, they had been my friends since they entered, and I was the only one knowing they were dating. They kept their distance during the days, but being roommates, they had all the time at night to do whatever they wanted too as long as they didn't make any noise. Sometimes they did thought, and they had the room right next to mine. You're free to feel sorry for me; it is quite awkward to hear them in the middle of the night, making muffled cries and everything. Especially when you yourself are really sexually frustrated and haven't had any chance in months to release it. Now that's awful!
"Okay, men! Time to start running!" I hadn't noticed the coach coming onto the field, not had I noticed the field getting filled with the rest of the students. "What are you waiting for? RUN!"
As if on cue, we all started running in the usual direction. Berwald followed me, I could feel his icy glare in my neck, making me shiver and gave me goose bumps. I squeezed my eyes shut and tried to concentrate on running, pushing myself a little harder to avoid thinking about the glare in my neck that made my hair stand. I loved running. It made me feel alive, and made the adrenaline in my veins pump. I wasn't the fastest of runners, but it was fun anyway. Soon I found myself somewhere near the end of the group of running boys, way behind Berwald. I found myself staring at him as he ran. I blushed when I realized I couldn't take my eyes off him, it was strange. I couldn't meet those eyes of his, but I couldn't take my eyes off him when he wasn't facing me.
"Hey, isn't your new roomie, like, super hot?" Feliks came up beside me, grinning at me.
I sighed and slightly shook my head. "He has a name you know."
"Yeah, but it's totally long and boring!" I rolled my eyes at him, but he just kept on going. "But really, he is, like, totally hot. And you're gay, right? Why not take a shot?"
"Do you just assume everyone's gay or what?" I slowed down a bit to make it easier to talk while running, Feliks quickly following me so he could keep on pestering me.
"My gut is telling me he's gay!" He beamed proudly, like his stomach had actually told him about the tall Swedes sexual orientation.
"And you're sure your stomach is reliable? It's not like you have a magic belly button who tells you everyone's secrets!"
"Liet say my stomach is magical!" Feliks pouted, earning a groan from me. If I could, I'd rub my temples in a try to get the pictures of Toris and Feliks out from my head. The ring of his strange nick-name on the Lithuanian transformed into lustful moans in my head, as my brain decided to show me how a regular night could possibly look in their bedroom, and I definitely didn't want any more fantasies about anyone, the mere thought of Toris fucking Feliks (which they clearly did, considering Feliks bragging about how good Toris was in bed all the time) making me want to hurl. My brain had the strangest habit to imagine all kinds of people having sex, mostly the couples in our school, but also about myself and some strange man I couldn't place. I guessed it was just my sexual frustration taking action, but I couldn't really do anything about it. And Liet was the strangest nick-name I've ever heard. Feliks claimed it was because Toris was from Lithuania, and Lithuania in Lithuanian was Lietuva, and a shorter version for that was Liet. LOGICS~. I really didn't get Feliks some times.
"Too much information!" I exclaimed and Feliks made some kind of sound in the back of his throat to voice his irritation.
"Anyway, I think you should give it a shot. You like him, no?" He looked at me with curiosity, smiling when he saw me blushing. "You are! I knew I had a good eye for this! You guys would be sooooo cute together! And we could totally go on a double date! It'd be so much fun to have someone to go out with! It gets really boring to be the only couple here."
"Feliks, you do realize it's not allowed to have relationships here?" I raised an eyebrow at the excited teen, hoping he wasn't as stupid as he sounded. He rolled his eyes at me and sighed dramatically.
"Well, duh! Of course I know! It was in that totally stupid book!"
"The Book of Rules is not stupid!"
"Whatever, if me and Liet can pull it off, so can you!"
"I don't really see how you're still here" I said and Feliks grinned. "Everyone knows you're a couple, and yet you haven't been thrown out."
"Maybe the head master likes me" Feliks sang, adding a laugh at the end. "And I know he likes you too, you're a good man! So seriously, Tino, give it a shot! I know you can totally do it!"
He gave a last reassuring smile before he spurted so he got in line with Toris. He seriously couldn't be without his boyfriend for more than ten minutes, and if we weren't running right now, I bet he'd jump him. The running almost always ending with Toris on the ground because of Feliks tackling him, whining about how hard it had been and how bad he looked when covered in sweat. It was a mystery how Toris put up with him, but I bet those things came with love. I blushed when I once again realized I stared at Berwald, and looked down on the ground I ran on, suddenly finding it way more interesting than a certain blond. I didn't need love now! I had made it all those years with simply thinking about him, slowly realizing I wouldn't get rid of him and accepting that, I wasn't ready for facing the object of my childhood love in real life! Not yet! Not ever! And he was still scary.
I wanted to yell in frustration, it was just so annoying! I didn't know my feelings anymore, I couldn't simply concentrate on anything else than him.
I sighed deeply, emptying my lungs, and then inhaled again. I could do this. I could make it one more year until my graduation. I could forget my feelings until then, no matter what Feliks said. I had been fighting for that diploma for six years; I sure as hell wasn't getting kicked out now. It would be a challenge, but I could make it. I smiled victorious to myself, deciding that from now on, I wouldn't let my life involve love anymore.
It just wasn't that easy.
