Chapter 11: Brooklyn

It had been a few days since they had read their poems in English class, and ever since the red head had been acting strange. Like the other day Tala had walked so close to Kai that the blue haired teen almost tripped. Another time Kai thought his room-mate was trying to hold his hand, but hesitated. For now the blue haired male had pretended like nothing was wrong, but as Tala carried on acting weirdly, he was starting to behave as a teenager with a crush would do, Kai was no longer sure if he could ignore it. Not that he didn't like the red head's new ways of acting around him, but the blue haired male wasn't sure it was meant as love or he just put too much into it. At the moment they were sitting at the breakfast table and the red heads legs were clearly touching Kai's. He stared at his room-mate who chewed his toast happily while looking out the window at the soon blooming sakura trees.

"Tala, what's gotten into you lately?" Kai finally asked. His friend blinked and looked at him with a smile.

"What do you mean Kai?" he asked, still smiling.

"Well you...um...I don't really know. You just haven't been acting like yourself lately."

Maybe he had put too much into it after all. He liked seeing the red head smile, so why ruin it? Tala blinked again, then chuckled, which made Kai blush a little.

"You're the one acting strange Kai. You've been so nervous lately," the red head said before returning his attention to the sakura trees.

Of course I've been nervous idiot. The guy I'm in love with acts like he's coming onto me, even if he said he was straight, the blue haired teen thought to himself, before sighing and concentrating on his breakfast.

It didn't take long for the sun to heat the air. By noon it was burning hot and Kai was happy to be in the classroom where there was Air Conditioning. When the teacher entered the room another person followed. The blue haired male blinked. What was Tala doing in his art class? Didn't he have P.E.? But then he realised that it wasn't Tala, the hair wasn't nearly as red, more orange, and this guy was taller than his room-mate. It was then the guy turned around and Kai saw a very handsome looking boy stand in front of the class.

"Everyone, this is Brooklyn. He just transferred to this class," the teacher said and the kid did a short bow before he looked Kai straight in the eyes. The blue haired male wasn't impressed, Brooklyn was nothing compared to Tala. Yet there was something about the way that kid looked at him that Kai couldn't really understand. In the end Brooklyn sat down at the desk besides him. He seemed okay, polite, friendly, talented. By the end of the lesson Kai had forgotten that he wanted to ask Tala to be his model for their next art project, human anatomy.

"Excuse me, Kai," his voice was calm and attractive. The blue haired male turned around to find Brooklyn standing in front of him.

"I was wondering if you could tell me what you've done so far in class."

Kai blinked. So many had already offered to do that for him so why did he ask the blue haired teen? He somehow ended up telling Brooklyn everything they had covered in class. He didn't know why but there was something about Brooklyn that reminded him of his red-headed friend.

They talked as they walked around the school grounds and Kai learned that Brooklyn too was gay.

"So are you in love with anyone?" the red head asked. The blue haired teen nodded.

"He doesn't love me though, not that way. He's straight."

"I see. That's too bad. I haven't found anyone yet. Not for real anyways."

Kai looked at him. He noticed that Brooklyn had two gold earrings, one in each ear, it was kind of sexy.

"Not for real?" he repeated. The red head looked at him and smiled.

"I had my share of one night stands and insignificant relationships. For some reason I'm never really been serious about the guys I date."

Kai looked at him but didn't say anything. He had no doubts that the other male was telling the truth. Brooklyn was handsome and the sort of guy who could get anyone he wanted.

"I've only had one relationship," the blue haired male said, "and it turned ended badly. He cheated on me. But were both okay now. We admit that we loved each other once, but we weren't meant to be together forever. He has a new boyfriend now, and he will probably last," he finished.

"I see, that's why you're careful with relationships now right?" the red head asked as they sat down on a bench.

"I guess."

"The guy you're in love with now. It wouldn't happen to be that room-mate of yours, Tala?" Kai was taken aback. How had he known? Brooklyn smiled.

"I kind of figured it out, because of the way you talk about him. He means a lot to you."

Kai nodded. No one had ever been able to read him like that. No one, except Garland.

Tala hated him. He hadn't even said hello yet and the red head hated him. As the boy walked towards him together with his room-mate, Tala looked him over. Sure he was what many would call handsome and his aqua coloured eyes were interesting enough, but to the red head it only made him more hate-able. But what made Tala hate this male the most was the fact that he was walking so close to Kai. Kai didn't seem bothered by it, in fact he only smiled at Tala.

"Who's that?" Bryan asked as he took a short break for making out with Garland. The silver haired boyfriend looked in the same direction.

"Don't know. But he doesn't look that interesting," he said, gritting his teeth.

"No he doesn't, so why is he with Kai?" he asked, becoming more irritated. The couple beside him looked at each other and Wolfram looked worriedly at the older boy. Kai and the new guy then reached them.

"Everyone this is Brooklyn. He just transferred into my art class," the blue haired male said. Brooklyn waved a hand in the air and said hi. Tala sighed and turned away from them both, suddenly very interested in his lunch. Because of the nice weather the friends had decided to eat together outside for a change. And right now Tala was glad the other three were there and not just him, Kai and Brooklyn.

His room-mate didn't greet him the way he usually did. He didn't even say hi, just humped and turned away from him. Kai looked at Tala's back. Suddenly his room-mate's good mood had disappeared, and to make it worse, it seemed like the red head was mad at him. The blue haired male felt hurt. Finally they were getting closer, then in a blink of an eye it crumbled down, without him knowing why. Brooklyn laid a hand on his shoulder.

"Shall we get some lunch Kai?" he asked. And suddenly the blue haired male felt an urge to be held by the red head.

AmTheLion: That was chapter 11. Look out for chapter 12, as it will bring more drama...
