/!\ Please read
- These two fic (My universe + Rumor has it) help me appeasing my feelings. In the novel I'm writing I must fight against myself because deeply I want the main character to end up with one of the dudes. But he's straight. (His name is Allen Campbell, though, that's where my penname is from). I compensate this lack of gay love by a lot of subtext in this book, and a lot of fluff in the fanfics I'm writing. Erm, no, only 'Rumor has it' actually. I don't think 'My universe …' is as fluffy.
Anyway, if you're a loyal reader – meaning : if you read those two fics – you've probably seen my disappointment in the AN of the last chapter of 'My universe …' because of the lack of feedback. I hope we don't go like this for this fic, it really grew on me and I would hate to stop it without real end. Could it be possible to get to 200 reviews with this chapter ?
However, thanks for everyone who reviewed. Shouts-out right away. Remember : I LOAF receiving your ideas on who the stalkers could be, just don't be mad at me if I don't say it's true or not since it would ruin the story for you and I don't want that. :)
- This chapter starts right after the previous one.
- I have the pleasure to announce you that you will know the identity of the stalkers in the next chapter.
- This story will have its end sooner or later. I already have ideas for the next one. I'll let you know when I'll create poll on my page, so you guys can vote for what idea you like the best.
- It's so odd I just dreamed about Jack Quaid, he was so sweet haha
- I took the time to read the fiction all over again.
Two things :
1) The mistakes. Oh god, it's burning my eyes. I'm sorry for all those mistakes, really. Thank you for sticking with me even though my english is bad.
2) There are so many leads about the identity of the first stalker that it just makes me laugh at how much it's obvious. Like, really... so obvious. Anyway :P
Warning : This chapter is rated M (for your pleasure). Also it's so fluffy it gave me headache
Shouts-out :
CapitolEffie : I'm glad you decided to watch Were the world mine, and even gladder that you liked it ! I knew it was a poem. However I'm not familiar with foreign literature, just french since I live in France (I guess it makes sense haha). I'm so happy you like Jessica, she makes me laugh so much everytime I write something about her. I honestly think you're awesome, you noticed every hint I put in the last chapters. Good job :) Oh and Feeling Good... uhmaayzing.
GaaraRocks101 : Haha, sorry if I wasn't clear about Peeto being my OTP ! ^^ my bad. There will be drama... peeta still doesn't know who the stalker are (actually, he thinks there's only one).
dark-magician100 : I'm glad some of my reviewers have the same taste in songs as I do :D
Cray-Crayperson : I don't know about the movie, I found it on megaupload a while ago... and in french (english with french subtitles actually) so it's not even the same link. About the stalkers, I'll tell you, you have one of the two right. I won't say who ^^
2015 : Bitch slap is my favorite kind of slap. 'Ohhh' is the best reaction to have in that circumstance. I guess, at least xD
Pikachu1132: I have a lot of blonde moments as well to be honest, don't worry ^^
candykisses101 : Won't saaaay ! But indeed that's creepy as hell.
Raven Knightly : You don't suck ; I just try my best to make every character suspicious in different ways. I'm starting to hate Anary as well to be honest, at first I found him cute and touching but now he annoys me xD
LabRat3000 : I recommend you to check your inbox in case you haven't already ;)
London: What kind of gay would I be if I didn't know Queer as folk ? I've seen the whole first season, afterwards it was hard to find it in french or so. Anyway, I of course saw the scene with the prom, when Brian and Justin dance, and then Justin gets assaulted... that was horrible. Anyway : love you as well my faithful reviewer. :)
Marcus1233 : Haha, Katniss punched Gale, don't worry, it's just that since it's from Peeta's point of view, he doesn't see it. Anyway even though you didn't like the chapter i'm glad you reviewed :)
ILoveThisStory : I considered doing something like that with an alter ego personality or something, but first : it would have been too much like Pretty little liars, and secondly I already have the full story settled in my head :D
Tan Poh Keng : Let me sigh with you, I love this kind of endings too ! :D kisses kisses, kisses everywhere !
TWilkins : Thank youuuuu ! Love cha. I'm always insecure about what I write, thank you so much for telling me that I write well :)
ColeInnocenceAngel : I can't say what I'm plotting right now... but you'll see soon enough, hopefully. But there will be some Cato/peeta interactions for sure :)
Peeta's P.O.V
Chapter 12
This kiss is magical. There's no other word to describe it. I feel butterflies in my stomach, something I've never felt before. When I back, the song Feeling Good is ending and I stare at Marvel's green eyes. He's staring at me as well with a grin. All of a sudden, there's a flash to my right and people are clapping their hands. The person who took the photo puts her camera down : it's Leera. Oh, damn her and her filthy camera ! People come to cheer us. I get why everyone is happy. Marvel and I brought pride to our team, therefore to our school. They have no reason to hate on us, and I'm glad. The night goes on, and sometimes I spot Cato and Leera talking together as they look at Marvel and me. What can they be talking about ?
Marvel and I spend the evening together. This moment is ours and no one can tear us apart. No one. Not that stupid stalker who made a wish to make a hell of my life. Since he – or she – outed me to everyone, I have nothing more to hide now. The grin I have on my face all along could make jealous the Cheshire cat.
A moment later, we switch of partners for the dance. Glimmer comes to dance with me while Clove dances with Marvel. I don't see Anary at all, around us. He must have left since he always gets home with his mother for week ends. Now Leera is dancing with Cato. How unexpected ! The six of us spend the evening together. Leera takes pictures of all of us and of other people in the cafeteria.
It's weird to think that two months ago was my first day here. The five people around me changed so much it's incredible.
Marvel, the captain of the soccer team, managed to prove he was not Cato's sidekick. He's more than that. Cato and Clove were bullies. Glimmer was a queen bee and a drama whore, if not a whore at all.
Yet here we are. During the next slow, while I dance with Marvel, Cato is dancing with Leera, the girl he bullied before I got here. They constant chuckles and laughs makes me smile.
"I'm so happy to be here with you." I tell Marvel, which is responded by a kiss on my cheek from him.
"So am I" he smiles.
I place my head against his chest. "It's like a dream come true. Two months ago, I would never have thought that I could be openly dating the guy I like, surrounded by my friends."
"Hmm, you like me if I understand well ?" Marvel chuckles.
I pout. "No, I totally hate you, Marv'." I laugh as I play with the bangs of his ridiculously attractive curly hair.
He leans and whispers in my ear "Maybe it's time for you to show me how much you hate me."
"Is this a pick up line or something ?" I ask, not sure.
He sighs. "Shit, I was trying to be seductive."
I laugh and kiss him once again. "You always are."
We didn't have sex that night. We slept in boxers in the same bed, though. We were both tired after the game and the party, so sex would have to wait a few days. All I know is that I would be ready whenever he would be ready.
~ Ten days later ~
It's been ten days since Marvel and I came out. I thought we would be bullied, but surprisingly, no. We both are popular : me for being the new star player of the soccer team, and him, for being its captain. So no one really bother us, and we're always discrete.
We did the paper Mrs. Trinket asked us together. Clove joined us, not that she was a big help but I love being with her, she really grew on me. And after all, Mrs. Trinket never said that we were supposed to do it alone. We finished the paper in no time and gave it to her.
The grade was good, we got a A- each. I think Mrs. Trinket knows that Marvel and I are together and that she gave us that note on purpose.
I think it's official now : Leera is not with Anary anymore, and to be honest I'm getting tired of this. Of course they're both my friends, so I try to be nice to both of them. Yet none of them complains about their break up. Anary seems to be pretty well. My 'popularity' kind of served him : now a lot of girls know him and he became kind of overconfident. Leera, on the other hand, spends a lot of time with Cato. I don't really understand how those two became friends but it's a very pleasant sight.
While Anary hangs out with the new friends he has, I hang mostly with Marvel but also with Cato, Leera, Clove and Glimmer – and sometimes, Jessica.
Today in the morning, while looking for Marvel before going in class, I accidentally walk on Anary and Finnick. I remember that since the first party they are kind of friends, but I had no idea they still talked to each other. Finnick looks surprised and looks at Anary before awkwardly walking away.
"What was that ?" I ask Anary.
He shrugs. "No idea, the guy ran into me."
I pout, skeptical. "Hmm... okay. Have you seen Marvel anyway ?"
"He was looking for you five minutes ago, I told him you'd be in class already."
I wince. He's acting so weird. "Thank you... I guess." I say as I walk away.
I find myself heading to the classroom, and Marvel is waiting at the doorstep. He seems relieved when he finally sees me. "Hey, you." he smiles as he kisses me. It's still weird that we can kiss without no one minding. Weird, but amazing.
"Hey, you" I answer, tipping his nose with a grin. "How are you ?" I ask as we enter in the class.
"Good, and you ?" he asks. I nod. "Oh, I saw Anary earlier. I don't know what's up with him."
I wince. "Just ran into him. He's so weird lately..."
"Tell me about it."
The teacher walks in and the class starts.
"Peeta ?" Marvel asks softly after a few minutes.
I look at him. "Hmm ?"
"How about we go out friday night ?"
"Yeah, I would like to. What do you want to do ?"
He shrugs. "I was thinking that we could go downtown, to the theater or something."
I grin. "I like the sound of that."
"What movie do you want to watch ?"
"Surprise me."
~ 2 days after ~
Today is friday, and Marvel and I are in town. I never really took the time to explore the town of Panem. It's a nice city, although it's way bigger than my hometown.
Marvel took me to his favorite restaurant. We could have gone to McDonalds, but no. It was a french restaurant, called "Pain et compagnie". He ordered for us two a warm goat cheese salad. There's a lot of bread for my greatest pleasure. Marvel is perfect, he's wearing the sweatshirt I gave him.
"You like ?" he asks me.
"Daz delicious." I hardly say because my mouth is full of food. He laughs.
I chew then swallow. "I didn't know you liked french food."
He smiles. "I guess we still have things to learn about each other."
He then orders two cremes brûlées. It tastes amazing, and I'm having a really good time. Marvel is so cute. He catches me starting at him. I blush and look down to finish my crème brûlée. I think I'm really starting to fall for this guy. I've never thought that could happen ; I've never thought that I could like a guy who likes me back.
Before leaving, I try to pay but he refuses. "I'm the one who invite the other, not the other way around."
I try to convince him but he's stubborn.
"I'll pay for the movie then." I say, serious.
"As you wish." he laughs.
On the way to the theater, he takes my hand. I'm a bit surprised, but I interlace my fingers with his. Our relationship really is official, then.
"Two tickets for X-Men please." he says to the cashier. I love X-Men, that's a good choice. I give twenty dollars to the cashier who gives me my change back.
The movie is really good... at least I assume it is, because Marvel and I only snog during the whole movie.
When we get back to the high school I remember Anary is not here on week ends. "Do you want to come with me tonight ?"
He smiles and nods. I take him by the hand and lead him to my room.
I drop the keys on the nightstand and place my hands on his cheeks to kiss him as he closes the door with his foot. He leaves my lips to kiss my neck, sending me shivers. I stroke his neck before taking off his jacket. He takes mine off then helps me getting rid of my sweatshirt. "I'm glad you kept this sweatshirt." I whisper to him as he kisses my neck repeatedly. "But now I want you to take it off."
"As you wish." he whispers against my skin. He unzips it. I put my hands on his thin t-shirt before helping him take it off as we walk towards my bed.
Soon we're both shirtless, kissing on my bed. I back and ask him : "Are you ready ?"
"More than ever." he answers before undoing my belt and taking my pants off of me. I lean to play with his own belt before I take his pants off of him as well. I lay back and wrap my legs around his thighs, making him come closer to me, our private parts slowly growing touching one another through the fabric.
I stroke his very fine abs. He doesn't know how much hot he is. I caress his back before my hands end on his behind. I place my hands under his boxers to stroke it a while before taking his boxers off.
"Woah" I blur out. "Nice..."
"I don't want to be the only one naked here." he blushes.
"Go ahead." I whisper, laying down on the bed. I feel him backing off of me and grip my boxers.
It's the very first time I see his member, because since I know him I always managed not to look at it in the showers. And I'm glad I waited, because the sight of it fills me with lust. I don't know if it's the first time he sees me naked though, I guess it's not, but I just hope he's not disappointed.
He lays down on me and kisses me, our two erect members touching and hell, it feels so good. I get how it's different from what I had with Cato. It's because of the feelings I have for Marvel, they're much stronger.
I push him gently to place my mouth on his manhood. As I start sucking it, he strokes with mine, both letting out pathetic moans, but oddly his moans excite me even more.
We play with each other for a while before he asks : "How do you want to proceed ? Cato used to top with me, so..."
"Cato used to top with me as well." I answer. I don't want to talk about Cato right now, it's only about Marvel and me. "I think I want you... I think I want you to top, if that's okay."
He nods. "Yeah" he answers, searching for his pants to find something.
"I have condoms here, don't worry." I tell him as I look for one in my nightstand. I open it and place it on him slowly. He moans. I stroke it a while because I love feeling that I can actually bring pleasure to someone.
I lay back down on my bed. He moves towards me. I wrap my legs around his thighs to make him come closer to me. He kisses me deeply, rubbing our erections together before pulling himself into me. I blurt out a little moan, because we forgot the lube. Oh, whatever.
I actually realize that Marvel does it more slowly than Cato used to. It's better, it's sending me shivers everywhere in my body. It's way more affectionate, and as I look into his deep green eyes, I realize something.
I'm in love with Marvel.
Why do I realize this only now ? I think I've been in love with him from the moment I talked to him in the bleachers, after the shower-half rape thing. Yes, from this moment, I was in love with him.
I've been in love with him for the past two months.
Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go
I play with his curly hair, our faces only inches apart. And suddenly he says it. "I love you." he whispers.
It gives me butterflies. I can't hide my smile. "I love you too, Marvel." I answer before kissing him passionately. I can feel him grin under the kiss. When we stop kissing, I whisper to him "Please, never leave me."
"I'm right here" he answers before giving me another thrust. "I'm not going anywhere."
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me,
And all this devotion was rushing out of me,
And the crashes are heaven, for a sinner like me,
The arms of the ocean deliver me.
I see stars. But my eyes are closed.
A few moments later, I open them and look at Marvel. He's playing with my hair. We're both under the blanket of my bed. My head is resting on his shoulder, and my hand on his stomach. His arm is wrapped around my shoulders to keep me close to him.
"That was amazing." he whispers.
I chuckle. "You mean extraordinary."
He laughs lightly. "I see no word to describe it."
I giggle and look up at him. In the dark of the room, I can see his green eyes staring at me. Drawing circles on his stomach with my fingertips, I say : "It was a good idea to come here. I guess I can thank Gale for outing me, because if he hadn't, I wouldn't have met you."
He chuckles. "True. Never say 'thanks' to that guy, though."
I slowly fall asleep, a smile to my lips. I remember my thoughts from two months ago. "Have you ever thought that you could start you life over ? That, by moving to a new city, you could become someone else, because no one does know you yet ?
Well, I have. I thought that moving to Panem, away from my old high school and from the persons I used to know would allow me to be happier, to finally like the person that I am. But I was wrong."
And I was wrong thinking that I was wrong. I just had to wait. Because right now, I'm happy.
AN :
- So erm I had no idea what to chose for a restaurant so I picked my own favorite, which is indeed called "Pain et compagnie", and is a french restaurant since it's in France... (I guess it makes sense). Also "pain" (fr) doesn't mean "pain" (en) but "bread".
- I shouldn't write smut, it's so wrong. So I tried to keep it soft. (obviously I didn't succeed..)
UH my feelings. I'm sorry if the smut was out of the blue. Hope that wasn't too much. Although I've seen smut scenes way more useless than this one since this one kinda made sense.
Just wanting to remind you guys something : in my book or the stories I write that didn't get published, I never write smut, so fanfics are the only exception.
- Next chapter : Revelations. Make your suppositions... who can be the stalkers ?
So... I hope the reviews won't be too harsh because of the badly written smut lol
