Eli's POV

Oh, my god, it's Blake! Blake! My Blake! He's back!

I whirl around and practically tackle him, almost knocking him over. He stumbled back a little, but laughed and returned the hug. He strokes my hair as I nestle my head in his chest. I breathe in his sweet scent-cologne, smoke and soap-and sigh. I'm so happy right now. It's almost like the last few weeks never happened.

Then I remember Jake and Kimi behind me. I try to turn to face them, but Blake holds me where I am.

"No, no. It's been so long since I've last held you, so don't leave me yet." He whispered into the crook of my neck.

Then he bit down! He bit me! The kid bit me!

"Oops, sorry. My love for you has kind of been pent-up, so I kind of got out of control. Now if we were alone…think of all I could do…" He hinted, whispering still.

This did it. I shoved him away, turned and crossed my arms. I was only teasing, I'm sure he knew that I was.

Kimi giggled, clapping her hands together. And Jake was just shaking his head, a small smile present on his face.

"You two are so cute!"

"Thank you." Blake replied.

"Though you should probably keep it kind of under tight wraps. Our school wouldn't take too kindly to your relationship." Jake said, unsure if he said the right thing, and he was right.

The school jocks had beaten countless guys and even girls for being "the other way". It wasn't a pretty picture.

So it was obviously the right thing to do, keeping me and Blake secret. At least for the time being. But that didn't mean we couldn't be together alone. No, then all of the emotions pent-up during the day could be released in private.

He'd like that much better. Being alone while he tells me how much he loves me, while I do the same. Falling asleep in each other's arms. That's what I'm looking forward to.

But now I'm being haunted by a whole new set of worries. Before it was all about questioning my sexuality, the whole new-ness of a relationship and whether my friends would accept it at all. Now it's about keeping it all a secret and whether or not Blake will leave me again. I have a feeling he will. I don't know how else to explain it. Gut instinct.

"So am I forgiven?" Jake asked, hoping to get off the darker subject.

"I don't know. Why should I forgive you?"

"Oh, be nice." Blake said, coming up to me and putting his arms around me again. "He came to me first and apologized. Be nice and forgive your friend. I did."

"Fine."

Truth be told, I would've cracked soon, anyway.

I told them this and they all laughed. At me. The guy who's been emotionally disturbed for awhile. I have such a nice boyfriend and friends. So sensitive.

???? POV

Hmm, I'm a lucky guy. There are guys that are together. Well, I think I can change that.

Operation Expose is about to begin!

^_^ This is gonna be so much fun!

"Let's do this." I say the smile on my face widening.

"I'm a…secret agent man!" My partner-in-crime sings, doing little kicks and karate chop moves.

"Shut up! They could hear us!" I shove him into the bushes, tensing my body, watching the group intently.

"Okay," I whisper once I determine the coast is clear. "We have to make a plan. We're gonna get the guys together and decide when to put the final stage into action. Got it? Or do I have to keep reminding you?"

"No, but what about the other two?"

"Hmm. I don't think we'll have to worry about those two yet. But if they get in the way, then they'll share the same fate. You know what to do."

"Yep."

"Now, as for the main targets, we'll wait a little bit and then reveal everything. And then…well…let's just say they won't want to even think about each other out of fear of us."

"Heh, cool."

Ready…set…go!
