I can't say when it happened. We were bitter rivals when we were younger, worse than that even. But when he blossomed into this young thing I can't help myself.
Man, listen to me. One syllable from quoting haiku.
Maybe I should write one for him? Or maybe not.
That's besides the point, the point is this: I am in a almost taboo relationship with my worst enemy, if I get caught I'm dead, and I think he's going to be in worse shape when he gets caught. The solution is not to get caught.
There he was, standing and shivering despite the large and fur-trimmed coat that he wore. Hell I was freezing as well, that gave me a wicked idea though.
I snuck up from behind and hugged his waist. I could tell he was startled by my actions but he turn and gave me a light kiss, some people were giving us strange looks but I pay no attention to them.
"How are you doing?" I said.
"Alright. I guess." He shifted around on his feet like something was wrong, but I didn't want to push into it too much.
"Which movie do you want to watch?"
"How about that mystery one? With the jade monkey," he told me. I ordered two tickets, when I turn to him I saw that smile that he wanted to be mischievous.
I lean in a little close, "can you wait until we get back to place?" By saying that I knew I was just egging him on, and I wanted to.
"Don't want be thrown out again?" He said. I couldn't help up nod, a pretty obvious lie, I lead him to the back row.
Robert lean close to me, I could feel him nuzzle my neck. My blood began to rush a little more, my heart was about to explode when he licked my neck a little. Like a cat.
I couldn't help but moan, he started to kiss my cheek.
"That's for later," he said before returning to his seat. I was felt sweaty and breathing a little hard, I don't know how he manages to do that but it drives me nuts. We watched the movie, I placed an arm around him while waiting. Afterwards we went to a small restaurant, I offered to pay for the meal as it is my turn.
He took the cups for drinks while I waited for the food, there has been something on my mind for a while. Maybe I should just spring it onto Robert now, I return the table.
He picked up the food and wolfed it down quickly when I just blurt it out, "maybe we should tell my parents about us."
He choked and glared daggers at me. "Just my parents," I stutter out. "I wouldn't even dream in my nightmares of telling them."
"Why? I..." He fell silent for a moment, he looked up at me with those brown eyes. "Do you think it's a good idea?"
"Of course I do." I was lying, I thought this was a horrid idea. We finished eating and headed to my house, he saw my parent's cars and shot me a look like he would kill me.
"You don't have a plan, do you?"
"Not a one," I said before dragging him to the door. "Please, for me."
"Fine," he said. I open the door and lead him inside, taking off our shoes we went into hall that lead into the living room and the kitchen.
"I'll tell them, than come get you when I'm ready." I said than walked into the living room where my parents were, I was lucky that they didn't have any company here. I didn't want to embrace them in front of anybody.
I took a seat and sighed, this brought their attention. "I have a boyfriend and he's in the hall."
My parents looked at me, they blinked and I stared back. My father's eye twitched and my mother stood there, it was my father first to speak.
"Okay... Did you have intercourse?"
"DAD!"
"TED!"
"What? It's one of those things you ask your kid about, you. Those STDs and other nasty things."
"Uh... We always wear a condom and had a test two weeks ago," my parents stared at me.
"CHANE!"
"You can come in now." I said.
He walked in and waved sheepishly, after my parents did their routine when usually really upset Robert walked up to me and whispered, "maybe I should go?"
That upset me, I grabbed his arm just as he was about to leave. "No, you can stay. That's if my parents don't have a problem with that, because if they do I walk out that door forever."
My parents glanced at each other than my mother spoke. "We're going to have to a long talk about this, but we're not bothered about you being homosexual or having... Bobby as a boyfriend, it's more that it's so sudden and you said you have had sex already," she swallowed hard. "We're going to need to get us to this."
"Maybe I should see Robert home now," I reached over and took Robert's hand to lead him to the door.
"We'll talk about this when you get back," Dad said as we left the house.
As we walked out Robert gave my hand a small squeeze, as if he had something on his mind.
His eyes said he was happy to have me. And I'm happy to have him.
