Chapter Eleven

Sage wondered up to the room he was sharing with Rowen. He was really confused about what happened out in the backyard. Did Ryo really mean the kiss? Or was it all part of the deal with Anubis? Shaking his head, the blonde teen did not see the blue haired archer in the room. He went over to the window and opened it, the cool night breeze slapping against his face.

Staring out into the night, Sage attempted to fathom the thoughts that went through his head. He wondered why Ryo had run off if it was just a stupid dare. He would go ask the Japanese boy himself if it wasn't for the fact that he was currently in the shower. There was a thought Sage didn't need at the moment.

He blinked, looking down as two arms wrapped around his waist. Peering over his shoulder, he found Rowen standing behind him. Sighing, Sage turned his attention back towards the night sky. Rowen rested his chin on Sage's shoulder. "What's wrong?"

Sage sighed slightly. "Just thinking..."

"What are you thinking about?" Rowen questioned.

"It's more like who am I thinking about," Sage corrected, sighing again. "Outside....I ran into Ryo....and, before I came in, he kissed me," he admitted.

Rowen released his hold on Sage, moving away and staring at him. "He kissed you? As in a full lip lock?"

Sage nodded. "I don't get it. I thought he hated me, and, I know he said it was something Anubis wanted him to do, but there was something about the way he kissed me that tells me he doesn't hate me, and it confuses the hell out of me."

"Well, it would confuse me too," Rowen stated. "...Does he kiss better then me?"

Sage turned to stare at him. "What? No... Although, that's not a fair comparison. You both have two completely different ways to kiss."

"Do you like the way he kisses better?" Rowen inquired, walking up to Sage.

"You just asked me the same question but in a different way," Sage stated.

"Humor me," Rowen deadpanned.

Sage sighed. "I like them both the same and that's what confuses me," he answered honestly.

"Well, he is cute..." Rowen said.

"Yes, he is, in that psycho killer sort of way," Sage muttered.

"So, who says you can't have both?" Rowen asked, shrugging. "I wouldn't mind having you and him at the same time."

"I think Kale's perverted delusions are rubbing off on you," Sage commented.

"Oh, like you wouldn't mind have me and him at the same time," Rowen said, wrapping his arms around Sage's waist again.

Sage shook his head. "Okay, you are not allowed anywhere near Kale anymore."

Rowen chuckled. "C'mon. You like him, I like him, we like each other, so why can't we have him?"

"Because we don't know if he likes us," Sage stated.

"So we'll find out tomorrow," Rowen retorted.

"Who let you have sugar?" Sage asked suddenly.

"Cye did!" Rowen said with a grin. "He said since you have to deal with me it would be okay!"

"That explains it..." Sage muttered, pushing Rowen over to his bed. "You're going to sleep now. Tomorrow you'll be thinking properly again."

"Sage, I'm being serious now," Rowen stated seriously. "Will you at least think about it?"

Sage sighed. "Alright, I'll sleep on it."

"Good!" Rowen kissed Sage quickly before going over to his bed. "I'm going to bed!" He said, practically bouncing over to his bed. Sage shook his head, going over to his own bed, his thoughts still on Ryo.
