Chapter 11
Garet lifted his head, a throbbing pain running through his body. "Isaac, I told you my powers were getting better. This time I actually avoided that vase. Too bad that crate knocked me off my feet."
But he didn't hear Isaac's response, nor did he feel that he was on the Lemurian ship anymore. He didn't feel the familiar rocking that came with traveling the seas. He opened his eyes and saw the sky above him. At least he knew he was somewhere open. He shook his head and sat up, putting a hand to his forehead. Something warm and soft began caressing his face, and he smiled with a sigh. 'Mia?' he thought happily. 'Is that you?' He looked around but the gentle touches on his face remained. "Oh my Weyard," he thought as he realized where he was. "How did I get here?"
The Mars light shone brightly in front of him. He was on the aerie of Mars Lighthouse. How he got there he wasn't sure. He tried to recall the last thing that happened.
"Isaac?" Garet asked his childhood friend as they sat on the bed, cleaning up the room, using move. "See, I have this friend..."
Isaac smiled knowingly. "Do I know this friend?"
"Yeah..."Garet said slowly, "Well, see, this friend of mine is a guy and he sorta likes this other guy."
Isaac turned, eyes wide. "Whoa, Ivan is gay?! I mean, I suspected he might but I just thought he was a bit more feminine or something."
"No!" Garet told him, shaking his head. "I'm not talking about Ivan!"
"Oh..."Isaac said and fell silent.
"Well, my friend really likes this other guy. He thinks he may be in love with him. But he's not sure if he should speak up and tell his friend the truth or not. He's afraid it may ruin the friendship they have."
Isaac leaned back on his hands as he moved a vase back onto the dresser "I think your friend should speak up. If he doesn't speak up soon, he may lose his opportunity. I'm sure his friend would understand and still be friends with him if he knew."
Garet pulled at the blanket nervously. "Isaac?"
Isaac turned to him. "What is it, Garet? You okay?"
Garet sighed and leaned over, putting his mouth next to the Earth Adepts ear. "I love you, Isaac," he whispered.
Isaac pulled back and gaped at Garet in amazement. "You...what?"
"I'm sorry. I know this is weird. I just couldn't keep it in anymore."
Isaac sat up and looked down at his hands. He know felt like he had nothing to do to distract him from this horrible feeling of awkwardness.
"I knew you'd never feel the same way, but, I mean, I do love you. I love you like a brother, but I think I like you as a lot more. I just wanted you to know."
Isaac pondered for a moment. Did he like Garet as more than a friend? "I...I think I like you as a lot more too..." he whispered.
He looked up and kissed Garet on the mouth. His friend responded quite sensually, kissing him back slowly and deeply. Isaac's hands tightened on the blankets to keep himself from reaching up and running his fingers through Garet's fiery locks. But, his fingers began itching to touch him when he felt the Fire Adept's tongue run over his lips, playfully teasing him.
Isaac's hands began to run up Garet's chest, and he sighed against Isaac's mouth. Then he ran his palms down his waist, causing him to shiver. In one swift motion, Garet had pushed him down onto the bed, pinning him beneath him. He pulled away and looked down at his blonde haired friend. Isaac gazed up at him with dreamy eyes. "Maybe we should wait until later to do this," he said softly. "Mia might walk in on us."
Garet nodded and let Isaac up. He sat up as well and made the mistake of trying to use his psynergy. A vase flew at his face and he ducked it. Then suddenly, everything went black.
Garet smiled. Sure, he liked Isaac. He may even love him. But lately, something about Mia had sparked an interest in him. He didn't want to think about that now, though.
Garet looked around and saw Isaac, lying about 10 feet away from him. He crawled over to the boy and shook his shoulder gently. "Isaac, wake up."
Isaac groaned softly and his eyes fluttered open. "Where are we?"
"On the Mars Lighthouse aerie." He told him, trying to ignore the way his sapphire eyes sparkled so elegantly in the glow of Mars light.
Isaac sat up. "How did we get here?" He shook his head and again Garet forced himself to take no notice of the way his hair just seemed to fall beautifully into place.
"I'm not sure," Garet answered. Suddenly, he heard faint laughter. "Did you hear that?"
Isaac looked around. "Yeah, there must be somebody else here."
Garet got up and began to search around, Isaac following closely behind. They searched everywhere around the aerie but found nothing.
"Garet? Isaac? What are you two doing here?"
The two boys wheeled around and saw Jenna staring at them from one of the elevators. "Jenna!" they both exclaimed and ran towards her.
She laughed and opened her arms as both pulled her into a warm hug. "How did you guys get here? Did she bring you here too?"
"She? Who's she?" Isaac asked.
"I am..." said a small voice from behind Jenna.
The boys looked up and saw a girl float out from behind their childhood friend. She had a pale, cherubic face and dark, lonely eyes. Her hair was made from long tongues of fire and wavered gracefully as she smiled at them. She wore a long dress of blood red that fluttered and flapped around her legs as she landed on her feet on the red colored stones of the aerie.
"So, you've all come to play with me?"
Garet lifted his head, a throbbing pain running through his body. "Isaac, I told you my powers were getting better. This time I actually avoided that vase. Too bad that crate knocked me off my feet."
