~Julian~
"So, Max..." I said trailing off as we walked, or more of I walked and sort of dragged him along.
"Y-yes?" He asked stuttering slightly as he blushed and looked down at his feet as he tried to keep up with my longer strides. I looked back at him, as I slowed down so he could keep up easier, and saw that he was nervously playing with the gold chain around his neck.
"You just recently came out of the closet, yes?" I asked looking down at him as he was now walking beside me, but was still having a bit of trouble keeping up with me. He nodded as he looked at me. "And you said that I gave you the courage to do so?"
"Yes...um...from the time I...um...heard about you being shot, I watched every news report to see if there was any new news about you. And then last week James told me you were on the telly...and uh...we both watched it. I heard what you said about being proud of yourself and then with the megaphone..." He said trailing off and I laughed seeing him blush. "While I would never have the courage to do that...it did give me the courage to come out to my parents and James."
"That's what I like to hear."
"Although they apparently already knew." He muttered blushing even harder as he looked down at is feet as we continued walking down the hallway. We continued to walk in silence for a few minutes and as far as I could tell we were almost at our homeroom class. "Hey, Julian, can I ask you a question?" He asked suddenly and almost made me jump seeing as he has been quiet for the past few minutes.
"Sure."
"When did you figure out you were gay?" He asked and I tilted my head to the side, as I crossed my arms in front of my chest, and thought about his question. Honestly I wasn't really sure when I figured it out. I think I might have been...oh yes now I remember! I was ten when I figured it out I was gay. Also when my father...well that's a story for later.
"I was ten." I said looking down at him. "What about you?"
"I was twelve when I figured it out and I tried my hardest to keep it a secret."
"Why?"
"Well I've always been made fun of by the other boys around my age and I didn't want them to have more things to make fun of me for." He explained looking down at his feet blushing a bit. "Did you ever try and hide the fact that you were gay?"
"No I didn't. Helped that my mother and everyone in my family were supportive, except for my father that is."
"Your father didn't support you?"
"Nope he hated it and me." I said shrugging. I had gotten over the fact SO many years ago and while at the time his words, among other things, hurt a lot, I didn't care and it is all in the past. Over two thousand years in the past in fact.
"He hated you because you were gay?" Max asked looking up at me sympathetically as we continued down to our homeroom class, which by this point was only a few doors away.
"Yeah, he did. He didn't like that his son was gay." I said shrugging again. Or the fact that he wasn't truly king as he wasn't Mother's mate. Or the fact that he wasn't as powerful as I was...So many things he hated. I thought slightly amused.
"But you said that your mother and everyone else in your family were fine with it?"
"Yup. My mother knew long before I did." Yeah like before I was born. "And no one else in my family cared."
"Do you live with your mother?" Max asked and I smiled sadly down at him. Even if it had been many, MANY, years since she and everyone else in my family was killed, it still hurt to think about. I was very close to my mother.
"She and everyone else in my family were killed years ago." I said looking forward as he finally got to our homeroom class. Which was kind of true. I tried not to lie when people asked me questions because even after so long I still kind of sucked at it. So whenever someone would ask me a question, I would kind of twist it around so I was technically lying, but would still be telling the truth.
"Oh I'm sorry." Max said looking down at his feet again.
"It's fine, Max, you didn't know." I said smiling at him as I put my hand on his shoulder, lightly squishing, before releasing him and headed into the classroom. I walked in first and everyone who had already arrived at the class, which was almost everyone it seemed, looked over at me. Along with the teacher, Mr. Fine, if I remember correctly. I looked back at Max as he walked in, his head lowered and a blush visibly on his cheeks. He slightly rushed past me and sat down in an empty chair about two rows from the front and on the very left of the rows.
"Ello all." I said slightly accidentally using my British accent, and smiled as I was amused because of it. Plus the look Max was giving me. I have the accent of almost every place I've lived with Daniel and when I'm around people who have an accent, one of mine tends to come out. As long as I've heard the accent before that is. I looked away from the teens who were still starting at me and toward the teacher. "Hi, I'm Julian Cheshire...the new student." I informed him as walked over.
"Ah, yes, Mr. Cheshire." He said standing up from his desk and nodded at me. "Do you have your schedule?" I nodded and pulled my schedule out of my pocket and handed it to him so he could sign it. "Why don't you introduce yourself to the class, Mr. Cheshire." He said as he sat back down on his desk and picked up a pen so he could sign my schedule.
I turned back to the rest of the class and smiled brightly at them all. "Mornin', I'm Julian Cheshire. I moved here from New York a week ago. I'm eighteen and live with my best friend. Although he is still back in New York packing up all our things and won't be here for another two weeks or so." I said folding my arms behind my back. "I'm also gay and will kick anyone's...butt if they are homophobic around me." Most of the class chuckled at that and I realized that this town was very tolerant. Just like it was fifty years ago when I was last here. And even when I first moved here over a hundred years ago.
"Here you are, Mr. Cheshire." Mr. Fine said handing me back my schedule. "Would you mind answering some questions from the other students? Or would you rather just take your seat?"
"I'm fine with answering some questions."
"Alright, does anyone have a question for, Mr. Cheshire?" He asked turning to the students. "Miss Smith, you may go first."
"You said you lived with your best friend right?" She asked as I looked over at her.
"Yes, I do."
"Where are your parents?"
"My father has been dead since I was ten and my mother, along the rest of my family, has been dead for a very long time."
"What happened?" A random student asked without Mr. Fine telling him could, but before he could say anything to the student, I answered him.
"My mother and the rest of my family were murdered." I said with a straight face, as to not show the pain I still felt every time I talk, or even thought about it. "And my father was killed for his crimes." I could tell everyone wanted to know what I meant, but Mr. Fine interrupted them before anyone could ask any more questions.
"Mr. Cheshire, why don't you go sit down?" He suggested and I nodded before heading over to my chair, which was right in front of Max.
Throughout the whole class, which we really didn't do anything the whole time, I could feel Max's stare on my back, but tried to ignore it as I worked on the packet I was given. He also stared at me while we headed to our first period class and then during the whole class. At least in that class we had an exam to do, so Max was distracted throughout the whole period. Or at least most of it.
"You know, if you want to ask me, Max, you can." I said as we walked to the gym for our next class. Which for some reason I felt that something awesome would happen there. I looked down at him as he was right next to me and he quickly looked down at his feet.
"I don't know what you are talking about, Julian." He muttered blushing slightly as he continued to start down at his feet.
"You've been staring at me almost constantly since homeroom and I said that my mother and the rest of my family were murdered." I said looking forward again, not really caring that everyone was staring at me and had heard me say that, but was a little annoyed that my voice cracked slightly during that sentence. I cleared my throat and ran my fingers through my hair nervously.
"Um...what happened?...That is if you don't mind me asking." Max asked, speaking quickly as he was clearly nervous and kind of unsure about asking me that.
"I was...*clears throats again* out with my friend Daniel and a bunch of...men broke into our home and killed everyone." I said my voice cracking again as I tried to keep my resolve and refused to look anywhere, but right in front of me. "The only two people who I don't know if they were killed during it are my little brother and Daniel's older brother. They had gone missing a week before and neither of us know if they are still alive." Although we both doubt that they are. I thought sadly as I ran my fingers through my hair again.
"I'm so sorry." Max said softly and put his hand on my arm.
"It's fine, Max, it happened a very long ago." I said looking down at him and smiling sadly. "Now come on, we don't want to be late for gym now do we?" I asked as I looked at him, while walking backwards, and smiled as brightly as I could before turning back around and dragging Max toward the gym.
"You'll probably need to go see Coach Night to get your gym outfit." Max said as I followed him over to his locker and set my bag down beside him while he opened it so he could get dressed. "His office is right over there." He informed me as he pointed up a small set of stairs toward a door at the top that was next to this fairly large window. I nodded and headed over to the stairs.
I could feel this strange feeling all throughout my body as I walked up the small set of stairs and knocked on the door. The feeling only grew and a shiver ran down my spine when I heard a very deep, and sexy, male voice say "Come in."
Opening the door, the first thing I saw was two gorgeous light blue eyes staring at me. I was frozen in the doorway as we stared at each other and I watched as his eyes widened as he stared into mine. I felt a huge smile grow on my face as I finally was able to sense who he was. He was not only the prince of demons, but was also one of my mates. Which also meant the others were here as well.
When I was finally able to move again, I stepped into the room, letting the door close behind me, and looked at him. He was very tall and fairly muscular. Honestly he was just so...YUM! He had short straight black hair, shorter than mine, but it was the same pitch black shade as mine. He was kind of pale, but not as pale as me. To be honest we shared a lot of similar features. The black hair, blue eyes and were pale. But my eyes were darker blue and, like I said, I was paler. I think he was at least five or so inches taller than me, being around 6'4" or so. And he was definitely buffer than me as I never really was that buff. Clearly I'm scrawny, just not extremely so.
He was wearing a white muscle shirt that showed off his mouth watering arms and I could see the muscles on his torso through his shirt. I swallowed trying to keep myself from drooling over him, but could feel some of it rolling down my chin and tried to subtly wipe it away. Although going by his smirk, I wasn't that subtle. But fortunately, I don't blush. Ever. Well almost ever.
"Hello, Sir." I said and noticed he got a lustful look in his eyes when I called him that. "I'm Julian Cheshire, I just started school today and need you to sign this. Also I need my gym uniform."
"Of course." He said in his sexy, sexy deep voice. I walked over to his desk and handed him my schedule so he could sign it, but I couldn't help, but want to prolong this as long as I could. Who wouldn't with this hot piece of ss? Although I don't really know just how hot his ss is, as I haven't seen it yet. He quickly signed my schedule and handed it back to me before getting up from his chair and walked over to a cabinet. But I wasn't paying much attention to what he was doing as I was far too busy staring at that delicious piece of meat that is his ss. And oh my gods, it was just...so...yum! He was wearing a pair of black gym shorts that went down to his knees and not only made his ss look very yummy, it also made his buff legs look yummy as well.
I was apparently staring at his ss, and legs, for so long he had gotten my gym uniform and had turned around. Although I didn't bother to look away from his ss, so when he turned around, I could see the...um...bulge of his little friend. Although that friend was not little, at least it didn't look like it was going by how big the bulge was. He cleared his throat and I quickly looked up to his face, slightly blushing, and ran my fingers through my hair as I stared into his eyes. That once again were filled with lust. And I'm sure he could see the lust in mine, but luckily I had a spell cast on my pants so if I did get...excited, you couldn't see it. Not that it ever really happened.
"Um, here." He said walking forward and handing me the uniform, but brushed his hands against mine and sent another shiver down my spine. Which I'm sure he did intentionally.
"Thanks." I said smiling brightly up at him before turning and heading back out of his office. "By the way..." I said turning back to look at him as I grabbed the door knob ready to open it. "Yes I was staring at your ss." I opened the door and headed back out of his office, laughing quietly to myself as I headed back over to where Max was waiting already dressed. As I walked over to him, I could feel Coach Night's eyes on my back, which caused another shiver to run down my spine.
"There you are, almost everyone else has already finished getting dressed." Max said as I set the uniform down and started taking off my shirt, after taking off the blue bandanna of course. I just laughed as I shrugged off my shirt and felt his stare intensify on my back. Although that didn't last long as one of the other guys came in and headed up to his office.
A few seconds went by before they both came back out of his office and headed out into the gym. Although not before he looked over at me and smiled. I heard Max gasp behind me, but when I looked back at him, he had composed himself and ignored my questioning look. "Julian, hurry up, or I will leave you." He said, probably trying to distract me and I decided to play along. For now anyway.
"So impatient." I said quietly, but made sure he could still hear me, pulling on my shorts, as I had taken off my pants while my mate was leaving, and then slipped my under shirt off. I put on the gym shirt and stuffed my clothes into my bag before following Max out of the locker room. Although he did let me put my bag in his locker before he headed out.
"Okay, we are heading out to the field to play football!" Coach Night announced and there were cheers from most of the guys and the girls who will probably sit it out or do something else. Max and I followed the rest of them out, and unfortunately he was near the front so I couldn't stare at his ss as we walked to the fields.
"Julian, can I ask you something?" Max asked as we got to the field and stopped a few feet from my mate.
"Sure." I said knowing my mate was listening.
"Where did you get that scar on your chest and back?" Max asked and I stayed silent as I had honestly forgotten all about that scar, or scars.
"Oh that...I got that when I was ten."
"How?"
"I was stabbed through my chest with a broad sword." I said nonchantly, which probably wasn't a good idea seeing as my mate looked pissed when he heard that. I couldn't really help it though, it kind of just happened whenever I told someone how I got it. I mean it happened like two thousand and forty some years ago. It wasn't that big of a deal anymore. Plus it was because of that, that I first realized I couldn't die. "Fortunately it missed my heart." I lied as it had actually went straight through my heart and if I could die, it would have killed me within a few minutes if not instantly.
"Why would someone stab you?"
"The person hated me." I said looking down at him and could practically see the gears turning in his head and his eyes widened when he realized who stabbed me.
"Your father stabbed you?" He whispered staring up at me with wide eyes, but I could tell that my mate still heard him and looked even more pissed and probably wanted to kill my father. Too bad for him that he died a LONG time ago. I nodded as I focused my attention back on Max. "Why would he do that?"
"Like I said he hated me. Or more of the fact that I'm gay, so he stabbed me as he would've rather had a dead son than a gay one."
"What happened to him?" He asked and I noticed my mate was paying very close attention to us while still trying to seem like he was paying attention to the girl talking to him.
"You remember that in homeroom I said that my father was killed for his crimes right?" I asked smiling slightly at Max as his eyes widened in recognation. "In fact my mother was the one who killed him."
"She was?"
"Yes, she killed him with the very sword he tried to kill me with."
"And she didn't into any trouble for that?"
"Nope." I said smiling before turning my attention to my mate as he started talking about what we would do today. I paid attention of course. Okay, I kind of paid attention. I paid more attention to his voice than what he was really saying.
Gym was pretty fun. If by fun, you mean constantly getting distracted by my mate's lustful on my back, and ss, as I played which made me keep missing shots, tripping and stuff like that. Normally I wouldn't mind, if I could you know jump him or something. Although my team still won and that just served to make the other team pissed and my mate seemed proud. Which was a plus.
"Come on, Julian, we've got to go." Max complained as I sort of got dressed very slowly as I felt my mate staring at my back. "You do know we have a free period next right?" He asked probably sensing my reluctance to leave and I smiled brightly knowing just what I was going to next period. And it total wasn't stalk my mate.
