"Wake up Sebby..." he whispered.
Seb didn't move. Thad's eyes were drawn to Sebastian's left leg. Was Seb wearing boxer shorts or long pants? Thad removed the blanket and saw, thankful that Sebastian was wearing Boxers, a bruise up Sebastian's leg. He gasped.
"Sebastian James Smythe wake up now!" Thad shouted. It did the trick.
"What the fuck are you..." he groaned," my mother?"
Thad hid his smirk as soon as he remembered the reason he woke Seb. He frowned.
"How did you get that bruise Sebby?" Sebastian was hesitant. His body stiffened at the thought.
"I-I..." He swallowed the lump in his throat and breathed in. he casually replied, "I hit it on the door in the shower. No big deal!"
Thad licked his dry lips. There is no way that was the truth. Sebastian is very careful in the bathroom. He hates the sight of blood. "Was it Nick?" Thad asked. Knowing the answer already.
Sebastian sighed, "Yes"
Thad shook his head, leaving the room almost instantly.
He knew Jeff was away with family at the moment so Nick was the only one in the dorm. Thad didn't knock.
"What the fu-" He was cut off by the sound of sobs coming from the bathroom. His angered expression softened a little as he walked to the bathroom door.
He pushed it slightly.
"Nick...?" He called.
"Go away!" Nick shouted in reply, turning to where he could see Thad's face. His eyes widened when he saw Thad's neck.
"Nicholas... I want to know what's wro-" Thad was interrupted.
"Fuck off!" He shouted, his bottom lip quivered right on que.
Thad saw small movement and looked down at Nick's hand. One over lapped the others wrist. Moving forward and back.
"What are you doing!" He shouted as he saw small drops of scarlet liquid escape the boys arm. Instantly he pounced for Nick's hand, taking the razor and throwing it across the room. He held Nick's wrists, even the blood.
"What is your problem?" Thad cried.
Nick didn't respond. Thad pulled him in for a hug.
They sat like that for several minutes. Both too scared to break the silence. But Thad knew he had to ask.
"What's going on Nick?" At Thad's calm words, Nick broke into a sob.
"Everything"
Thad pulled Nick's face up. He wiped tears from Nick's face with the side of his hand that wasn't stained by blood.
"Please... explain"
"Why do you want to help!" Nick shouted, "I fucking sent you to hospital," Nick punched his leg for swearing. Hard. He was about to hit himself again because Thad didn't reply. As quickly as Nick raised his hand to hit himself again Thad grabbed Nick and pressed their lips together. A tear betraying him as he did so.
Thad felt lonely and stupid for doing this. Until Nick kissed back, making it more passionate. He glided his tongue across Thad's bottom lip as if begging for access. Thad accepted. Nick's tongue explored the unfamiliar zone, finding his way to Thad's tongue. They wrestled each other and Nick bit down lightly on Thad's bottom lip, laughing quietly when it cause Thad to whimper. Nick went to kiss Thad again.
"No!"
Nick was shocked.
"W-wh-"
"I-I can't." And with that, Thad ran back to his dorm, tears streaming down his face. He stopped for no one and fell to his bed, digging his head into his pillow.
