Chapter 3:
Romeo P.O.V.
"Do you need anything else, Romeo?"
"No, thank you. You're dismissed."
The male servant bowed politely before closing the door behind them. As I fell backwards on my king-sized bed, I let out a happy sigh. Even though the meetings I went to with my father were a bit boring and overlooked, my thoughts of Tybalt ran through my mind the whole morning. A bright smile spread across my face;remembering last night events.
I suddenly blushed hotly and sat up straight;realizing that I was thinking such inappropriate thoughts of Tybalt. Nothing bad but...
Wow...I'm falling for Tybalt more and more than I should...Plus, I have Juliet. I have to meet her tonight! If I don't...who knows what will happen to our relationship and friendship.
Just when I was about to lay back down, a soft knock was on the door. I looked over at the door with curiosity. "Come in."
When my door opened, I was greeted by my best friend, Benvolio. He smiled kindly at me before closing the door behind him and walked over to my bed. I smiled back in return and scooted over for him to sit. Once he sat down, Benvolio spoke up.
"How are you Romeo?"
"I'm fine, thanks. What's up? Its not every day that you knock upon my door to come see me." I tell Benvolio with a nice smile as I watched my friend with interest.
"Well...I've noticed that you've been happier lately. Not that I don't want you to be happy, but I'd like to know why." Benvolio said to me with a curious/concerned look on his face. I was a bit taken back by his question but I only smirked and laid back on my bed;staring at the blue ceiling and sensing Benvolio's eyes on me.
"Let's just say that something good happened to me."
Something is incredible that I'm surprised God hasn't punished me yet.
"Oh really? Does this have to deal with Juliet by any chance?"
My eyes widened slightly at the comment as I lifted myself up;leaning on my elbows while looking at Benvolio with teal eyes. Benvolio chuckled at this before replying.
"You know I'm the only one you've told other than your mother, Romeo. Unless...it's something other than Juliet cause if it is, I want to know what has made you more happier than Juliet herself." Benvolio explained to me with slight excitement in his eyes and on his handsome face.
I could only smile because I knew Benvolio would never judge me at all. I sat up fully and cleared my throat. "A-Actually, I think there is something that made me more happier than Juliet. But I'm not sure if this is the right direction I should carry." I said to my friend, who raised an curious eyebrow at me.
"Wow! And what might this thing be exactly?"
I blushed slightly before looking away. "It's a person really." I said softly;not wanting to meet Benvolio's gaze.
However, a comforting hand rested on my shoulder which made me turn to face Benvolio. A warm smile was on his face; as if telling me that he understand rather it was horrible or not. I nodded and stared over at my window; the bright sun shining over Neo Verona.
"I met this man not to long ago...And ever since then, I've grown attached to him and it seems that I care for him more than I should. Especially when I'm deeply in love in Juliet. I-I don't what to do. I love them both but the being with both of them is very forbidden." I explained to Benvolio with a feared look in my eyes yet I was calm.
Benvolio nodded in understanding before standing up. I blinked at my friend with slight confusion. "Benvolio?"
"Come on. You're gonna introduce me to this man you're talking about. Until then, I'll see if he's worthy for you or not. After all, I may not be that type of guy, but I am you friend and I don't want someone hurting you. Understand?" Benvolio tells me with a straight face;truth in his eyes and I stare at him with amazement.
If I had not met Juliet or Tybalt, I would've fallen in love with Benvolio completely. However, right now I don't think that would be right at all.
I could only smile at Benvolio and nodded in agreement.
"I understand."
Around noon(maybe five o'clock), Benvilo and I met outside the castle and sneaked past the guards of my home. We were soon walking in the town of Neo Verona as I led my companion downtown. Benvolio was a bit uncomfortable of the place once it became a bit dark but I sent him an assuring smile before turning into an street;greeted by many houses.
All of them seemed lit a little bit and I walked to the door of Tybalt's. I hope Tybalt doesn't mind if I stop by. I just hope that me bringing Benvolio here to meet him is a wise choice. I mean, I trust Benvolio with my life, but I don't want to risk anything between me and Tybalt or Juliet for that matter.
Finally, we stopped in front of a two story house and I stared at the door. Benvolio noticed my hesitation but remained silence;deciding to be patient with me. Gathering up my courage, I raised my hand up to knock on the door,which I did and waited for someone to enter.
No one answered.
Mm...Are they even home?
So, I knocked a few more times and started banging hard but not loud enough to make the neighbors come out and see what was going on. I let my arm fall to my side and I stared the house for a while. Benvolio studied the house a little;a bit suspicious until focusing his gaze upon me.
"Its all right Romeo. You can introduce next time. I'm not in a rush to meet him so don't put guilt upon yourself." Benvolio assured me with a kind smile and I looked over at him to return the smile with one of my own.
"I know. Thanks Benvolio." I replied kindly as Benvolio nodded and turned into the direction we came from.
Still...I feel so sad that Tybalt isn't here. Even Kazu didn't answer the door to tell me where he went.
Just when I was about to follow my friend, I heard the door open wide and a pair of strong arms wrapped around me. I gasped in surprise but calmed myself;getting this feeling that I knew who this was behind me. Benvolio heard me and ran back towards me while noticing the person behind me. He only revealed a smile to me and chuckled.
"I assume your Tybalt, are you not?"
My eyes widened in shock on hearing Tybalt's name and I looked up/over my shoulder to see the man I was with last night. I blushed at the memories of the previous night and I noticed Tybalt resting his chin on my shoulder. The close contact made my body shiver for some reason but it felt...right. Tybalt stared at Benvolio with less care and emotionless, yet beautiful blue eyes glared at him.
"Who the hell are you?" Tybalt asked Benvolio carelessly and I moved away from Tybalt to glare at him.
"Treat my friend with respect Tybalt! He's my closest friend so treat him as you do me." I told Tybalt with a serious gaze as Benvolio watched with amusement yet wondering what was going to happen next.
Although I was shocked about how I said this to Tybalt, he only walked over to me before grabbing my arm;pulling me close and kissing me square on the lips. His kisses made my heart beat five times its normal wait and butterflies were in my stomach. I soon melted into his touch before closing my eyes and kissing back shyly. Tybalt's arms wrapped themselves around my waist and I shyly wrapped my arms around his neck;neither of us breaking contact or our passionate kiss. When Tybalt broke our kiss and was about to nibble on my neck, a cough was heard.
I turned my head to see Benvolio with his hands in his pockets and a smirk on his face. Quickly, I pushed Tybalt away from me gently so we were at least arm length and looked over at Benvolio with a blush on my face.
"Um...S-Sorry about that Benvolio...um..." I said nervously;not knowing what to say.
I mean, my best friend saw me making out with Tybalt. ANOTHER GUY! I know Benvolio accepts me being bi and everything, but it feels awkward you know? However, Benvolio chuckled and waved it off.
"Its okay Romeo. I'm not disgusted or anything. Though I can see why you were so happy this morning. If I was gay, I'd say 'nice catch'. But for now, I'll say good job." He said to me with thumb up and I was a bit shocked but I smiled at him thankfully and nodded.
I turned to look at Tybalt, who watched with a raised eyebrow;wondering about our conversation that was just said. "Tybalt, this is Benvolio, my best friend. Benvolio, this is Tybalt...my friend..." I was a bit uncertain on what to call Tybalt.
Last night was amazing. We didn't make love but all we used was our hands and touches. God, it was incredible. But I was still uncertain about my feelings with Tybalt though. I love Juliet, I really do but I'm starting to have feelings for Tybalt, this handsome strong man at the same time.
Not to mention that I'm starting to like someone who is also Juliet's guardian and the Capulet's allies. Either way, both are forbidden.
What I did notice was Tybalt frowning when I told Benvolio he was my friend. After that, Tybalt suggested we went inside his home and we all sat the round table in the kitchen. Tybalt placed a bottle of wine in the middle of the table; Benvolio blinking at the alcoholic drink uncomfortably. Tybalt poured himself a glass while me and Benvolio glanced at one another.
"So what's your real reason here kid?" Tybalt asked Benvolio, who looked over at him and gave him an annoyed look.
"Its Benvolio. And I'm here because I wanted to see the man that made my friend so happy. I'm his best friend and I thought I should see who this person was." He answered Tybalt proudly and serious as Tybalt gulped down some of his wine before glancing at me blankly and back at my companion.
"How long have you known?" Tybalt asked out in an almost rushed state but Benvolio ignored it and looked at him seriously.
"Known longer than you think, my friend." Benvolio answered calmly and I looked over to see Tybalt stare at his drink that he placed in front of him. His blue eyes clouded with wonder and mysterious which made him even hotter.
Gez, I need to stop thinking about him like that!
"Your not going to tell your almighty lord are you?" Tybalt suddenly said out of nowhere but had that deadly tone in his voice.
Benvolio blinked in surprise at Tybalt's doubt on him and gave him an sad yet angered look. He raised an eyebrow of suspicion towards the black-haired man. "Why would I do that?" He asked Tybalt with an slight frown on his face but Tybalt remained silent until he shrugged his shoulder and looking at Benvolio.
"No reason. Sometimes you act trustworthy and then you snitch on the one person that was depending on you. And from the looks of it, you could be one of them kid."
Oh this was going way to far!
"Tybalt, enough!" I told Tybalt with a pleading and forceful tone of voice. I watched Tybalt glare at me hard and I was shocked at his sudden action towards me.
Then, Tybalt got out of his chair and started walking to the other room when he stopped and turned to look at Benvolio.
"If you tell, one soul about this meeting or me and Romeo's relationship, you will not be able wield a sword let alone your own crown. Understand?" Tybalt told Benvoilo with the most deadliest glare known to man.
I stared at the young, black-haired man in shock and slight annoyance until Benvolio nodded.
"Understood, Tybalt." Benvolio said back with a straight face before Tybalt disappeared into the other room.
All I could do was think of what just happened before looking at my friend. I was about to say something, an apology but Benvolio raised his hand up;not wanting me to say a word. Instead, Benvolio gave me an assuring smile.
"Don't worry Romeo, I'm not mad or anything. This just proves that he really does love you. Or should I say, like you a lot. Want to protect you and will stop at nothing to do just that. Must say, Tybalt is one strong-hearted guy." Benvolio commented before standing up from his seat and I did the same.
"I will wait for you outside." He told me with a comforting smile before walking out of the house;closing the door behind him.
I stared at the door Benvolio walked out through before turning towards the room that Tybalt disappeared to. Taking a deep breath and letting it go, I walked into the room to see Tybalt sitting the couch with his feet propped on a coffee table.
Tybalt...
XXXXXXX
Tybalt P.O.V.
I gulped down some more of the wine while staring at the wall. Having Romeo's friend, Benvolio here, I thought was a mistake. The last thing I needed was people knowing who I was or what I looked like. Let alone an allie of the Montagues.
But I couldn't tell him to go away.
Romeo was here and I just had to see him. Ever since last night, I had this earge to hold him in my arms. To place kisses all over his body and hold him close to be until he was warm. Though the night was limited, everything was amazing.
Romeo...How I want you so...
I was about to get off the couch when I looked up to see Romeo standing in front of me. Assuming his friend was outside waiting for him, I sat up to look at my love in a good angle and stared into his teal eyes. They showed so many emotions all at once. Nervousness, anticipation, anger, need, joy and confusion.
To me it was beautiful.
Romeo blushed under my gaze and cleared his throat before speaking. "Tybalt...I'm sorry for bring Benvolio here. If I had brought him with me later tonight, we wouldn't be able to talk about things that don't involve others. So I thought, the sooner we meet you, the less of a risk of us getting caught. I'm sorry I made you upset, Tybalt." He said to me with nervous, teal eyes before looking away.
I looked Romeo up and down before pulling Romeo down so he was sitting in my lap. After that, I wrapped my arms around Romeo's waist; his back against my chest and I nuzzled his neck with affliction.
"Romeo...Its not your fault and you did not upset me. I am also sorry for being rude to your friend. You know how much I hate the Montagues, like I said last night. I do not hate you but I hate what they do to Neo Verona. I wish I could just take you away from them and show them that you belong to be and me alone." I whispered in his ear in a huskily voice and noticed Romeo blush even harder.
"The only reason I acted the way I did was because you told your friend that I was only your friend. I really wanted you to say I was your mate, but I guess you can't say that unless I take you." I explain to him in a more simpler term and Romeo gasped in shock before looking away;avoiding my gaze.
"You're so open about your feelings towards me, Tybalt." Romeo says to me softly and I couldn't help but pick him up until I laid him on the couch and I hovered over him.
Romeo blushed at our position;nervousness showed in his memorizing teal eyes. "T-Tybalt?" He asked shyly;uncertain of what was about to happen.
"Do you have any idea how perfect you are?" I say to Romeo at first and he stays silent.
I plant a kiss on Romeo's forehead. "Your smart," his temple, "wise", then his cheek, "beautiful", next his cute nose.
"And your the most honest man I have ever met and the bravest to ever risk their own life to see someone like me." After that I kiss Romeo's soft, pink lips with my own.
When we did this, Romeo's eyes closed shut and his hands clenched my shoulders tightly and kissed back shyly. I smirked against the kiss as I sneaked my right hand under Romeo's shirt to touch his soft, flawless skin. They felt like a newborn babies skin. So soft and fragile yet it felt like feathers of a dove. The mere touch of my hand to Romeo's skin made him gasp out in either pain or pleasure.
I wasn't sure which it was, but it was music to my ears and I wanted to hear more of my blue-haired angel. Deciding to take this even further, I licked Romeo's bottom lip to tell him I was going in his mouth. Shyly, my love opened his mouth and I stuck my tongue in his hot mouth. We soon had a tongue war, which I had one of course before pulling away from the kiss and me and Romeo stared at one another.
Both of us panting softly;sucking in the air around us. I noticed that Romeo's gaze held passion, excitement, lust and...
Love...
As I stared at Romeo, I took a deep breath him before looking down at the angel beneath me. His cheeks were flushed red, teal eyes staring up at me with so many emotions, his chest moving up and down from lack of oxygen and full,parted pink lips that were bruised slightly by our fierce kiss. The sight turned me on incredibly, but I would not let Romeo know;for I was afraid that I would scare him away with how much he was effecting me.
"Romeo...There's something that's been on my mind. I know your friend is out there waiting, but I need to know. Whether you're in love Juliet or not, I just have to hear it from you." I spoke to Romeo gently as I watched his eyes widen in slight shock at the mention of Juliet's name and the anticipation in my voice.
"Romeo...Do you love me?"
XXXXX
Benvolio P.O.V.
Its already been 15 minutes. What are they doing in there?
I leaned against the house wall beside the door, but far enough for me not to get hit by the door. My arms were crossed as I wore the black cloak Romeo and I wore as a disguise to sneak in. The day was starting to get dimmer and I looked up at the sky to see beautiful colors that sky was masked with.
When I did this, I heard someone's footsteps headed my way. I put up my hood in case it was one of the guards and walked over in the shadows until the person had walked by. However, it was a brown-haired young man, who was carrying some stuff in a brown bag;humming a song as he advanced towards Tybalt's door. I watched silently as the man was about to open the door when I quickly stepped out to make myself known; though the man beat me to it.
"And who might you be, stranger?" He spoke up in a teasing, yet calm tone of voice before turning around to look at me with interest in his green eyes.
I blinked at him with confusion before looking at the man seriously. I pulled my hood down;not caring what he thought of me at all.
"Wow! You must be a noble to look that good!" The brunette grinned at me as I blushed in embarrassment and shock. However, the man wasn't done speaking just yet.
He bowed politely to me before standing back up to give me a kind smile. "My name is Kazu. I'm Tybalt's friend just as you are to Prince Romeo. Yes, I know that your here with the future archduke." Kazu added and I only stared at him with suspicion.
Is this really Tybalt's friend? Unless he's been spying this whole time and knows about the situation at hand.
"I am just waiting for Romeo is all. Nothing else." I said to him calmly with a straight look on my face.
Suddenly, I was pushed against the wall;my back was in pain a little but not that great. I was trapped by two arms and I had no choice but to look up at Kazu. His green eyes could captivate anyone. At first, I felt drawn to them; as if I was being pulled into them-
WHOA! HOLD UP! I DID NOT JUST THINK ABOUT A GUY THAT WAY! I don't even like guys. I'm as straight as a stick. Yes, this guy is good looking but I will not become attached to this man!
"What are you think your doing!" I asked him in a hushed, demanding tone as I glared hard at Kazu.
Kazu however, smirked at this before leaning closer to me so our noses barely touched. I stared into his eyes; neither of us breaking it. My mind was racing with so many emotions. Fear, anger, and yet I was wondering what Kazu was going to do next. The man grinned down at me suddenly.
"You know, for a kid your pretty cute when your angry. I don't usually give compliments to strangers, but you're definitely worth it." Kazu said to me softly and I stared at him with wide eyes;not moving an inch of my body.
This man is not hitting on me! He is NOT hitting on me!
"Kazu!"
I looked over Kazu's shoulder to see Romeo standing at the doorway with Tybalt behind him. Relief swept over me and I pushed Kazu away from me so I could quickly walk over to my dear friend. Tybalt gave Kazu a curious gaze and the brown-haired man only smirked before turning around to look at the three of us.
"Me and your friend here, were just chatting. We have a lot in common, don't you agree?" Kazu stated before making eye contact with me;teasing and amusement in his green eyes.
I ran a hand through my short, dull blond hair and glared at Kazu with a straight face. However, Romeo turned towards me and I noticed guilt on his face.
"Ready, Benvolio?" Romeo asked me and I nodded as an answer before Romeo bowed to Kazu slightly. It wasn't until Romeo pulled his hood up and started walking on ahead of me.
Before following my friend, I turned and bowed to Tybalt in respect but gave him a look that said: If you've hurt him in anyway, mind or soul, I will come back. Then, I ran after Romeo while pulling the hood over my own head; our faces covered in darkness.
About ten minutes later, Romeo and I were in his room without us getting caught. I placed the cloaks we worn in Romeo's closet before turning around to see my blue-haired friend laying on the bed face down;his face buried in his white pillow. I sat on the bed beside Romeo and looked down at his still form;wondering what I should say.
Whatever happened at Tybalt's house after I left, must have effected Romeo greatly. He barely spoke a word the entire trip back here. Releasing a tired sigh, I turned my body a little so I was facing Romeo's tired form.
"Romeo...You've barely spoken a word since we left Tybalt's house. Did something happen?" I calmly asked Romeo as I waited patiently for his reply.
Romeo started moving until he was on his back and then sat up;hugging his legs against his chest. Teal eyes glanced up at me with shame and sadness before looking over at the other side of the room.
"Tybalt asked me...if I loved him..." He hesitated for a minute when he said this and I watched him closely.
"And what did you say?" I know that I've never been in a relationship with anyone, but I bet that having asked if you loved someone back would make you very nervous.
This made Romeo wince a little bit and it saddened me to see him in such a state.
"I...I didn't say anything..." Romeo said before sitting up straight and looking me in th eye. "Its just, I've never been asked that before. And when he said that, I wondered what would happen if I said yes. I-I'm still uncertain about my feelings for Tybalt but I don't want to abandon him either." He added with fear in his voice and I nodded in understanding;trying to think of something to say.
That's when an idea came to mind.
"K...So basically, you don't know if you love Tybalt or not correct? But your certain that you love Juliet?" I asked Romeo, who nodded in reply;looking at his lap shyly.
I chuckled at his confused state before speaking to him again. " All right. If you want to know, you have to answer these questions. Not for me, but for yourself as well." I told my friend, who nodded in agreement.
"When your around someone, do you have this feeling to protect from the world? Do you love them so much that no matter what consequences you'll take, you will forever remain at their side? Also, do you think of them every second of every day? You can't stop thinking of them and you have the need to be with them no matter what risks you'll take." I told Romeo before pausing for a second;wondering if Romeo was getting this and I saw him stare at me with such interest and thought that made me continue.
"But whenever, your with them, you get this feeling in the pit of you stomach and your so comfortable with them. Like you can be yourself and open; you wouldn't have to hide anything from them and whatever your feeling is always readable. No matter what you do or what you don't do, you always seem to think if they will still like you or still be your friend even if they won't love you back." I finished and looked up at Romeo who looked at me a little and then at his lap with curious teal eyes.
After that, I smiled at Romeo before standing up from the bed;stretched and turned to face him. "Just think about it, Romeo. When the time is right, you'll know. Its something that takes time so don't rush it. Besides, I better be off now so I'll talk to you soon." I said to Romeo, who looked up at me and nodded in understanding.
"All right Benvolio. I'll see you later." Romeo replied back with a nod of his head and I returned it with my own. Once I was at his door, I opened the door so I could walk out but I was stopped.
"Benvolio!"
I stopped myself and looked over my shoulder to see Romeo stare at me with nervous teal eyes and he then smiled warmly at me.
"Thank you."
This surprised me at first. Not that Romeo hasn't said that, but it held much more meaning than that. However, I did smile back in return and nodded before walking out of the room;closing the door behind me gently...
