Mia point of view the next day.
I slip into the house as quite as possible. Nobody should be home. With this family it's best to take precautions. I should be in school right now. If Ollie catches me, he might do something really drastic and uncalled for. Like ban me from Speedy wear for a week. He tends to get overzealous about things. Especial when he thinks he should be calling down the wrath of parenthood. But he shouldn't be here. No, he should be halfway to New York with Roy and Lian. Connor should be out at some temple mediation. I stop of in the kitchen can't skip school on an empty stomach. I grab a cold slice of pizza from the fridge. Thank God for Connor's urges or I would have had to suffer through Chili night. Shudder at the thought.
A loud thumping noise comes from upstairs. Of course, somebody is home. Or it could be someone trying to break in. Or it could be any of the boys in the middle of a sex act. All of which is worth checking out. I scarf the pizza, wipe my hand, and head upstairs, making sure to step over the ones that creak. I slip silently down the hall. The sound seems to becoming from Connor's room at the end of the hall. I get closer. Somebody's screaming. I can't make out what's being said but the voice is loud angry sounding. That can't be Connor he never screams at anyone. Not even Ollie who is like. Well Ollie. I sneak closer, the door has been left ajar. Score one for Speedy. I drop to my knees and move in for a better look. Connor is standing by the window hands waving. He looks mad sad and happy all in one shot, it's amazing see. His eyes are flashing. He looks really hot, he's also top less and barefoot, hairs a messy. All signs point to recently getting out of bed. Which makes sense, he did get in early this morning. Someone moves out of the shadow and steps closer to Connor. He's smirking, tall lanky guy, crazy brown hair, big glasses and a huge mustaches. And I thought Ollie face gear was out dated. Connor turns away from him, hands dropping to his side.
"Eddie." The name was said super low. Almost out of my hear ranges.
"Yeah. Kid."
So handle bars is named Eddie.
"I really missed you but I didn't miss this."
"It's a job I need the job done."
"You haven't seen me in over a year and when you finally call it's because you want a job done."
"You're the one that left me up in the monastery."
"I never asked you to go with me."
"You didn't have to."
Connor spins around to face him. "Do not say things like that to me."
"Why not, it's the truth. Come here Connor."
And Connor goes to him. Just sags into his open arms like that all he wanted. And I'm confused about everything. Connor wraps his arms around the older guy's neck letting the guy him pull in closer till their hips meet.
"Isn't this usually where you kiss me."
Handle bars laughs. "I learned patience in the monastery."
"I'm sure you did." Connor smiles up at the dude a slow easy smile. A secret smile he's never given to any of us. The guy leads them to the bed. With out detangling themselves they tumble backward. Connor laughs as he falls into Eddie arms. He looks beautiful. If Eddie didn't love him before he sure as hell should now. I shift to the left trying to get a better view. Eddie wraps an arm around Connor neck and pulls him down for a kiss. Connor goes wiling. I wonder if all that facial hair bothers him when they kiss. Eddie pulls back and kisses Connor neck and they lay there Connor curled against him. And Connor says he's not gay. I sit and watch them do nothing. After a while, Connor speaks in a low voice.
"Ollie will be home soon."
"You want me gone."
"Eddie my dad will drive arrows through your shoulders and hang you up in the living room. I want you gone for your own good."
"Come back with me to my hotel room."
"We are not having sex."
"We never have sex."
"That's not changing."
"You didn't fight the kiss."
"I liked the kiss."
"But no sex."
"No."
"Your ass cherry stays intact."
Connor reaches out and hits him on the shoulder. Eddie smiles at him. Yeah that dude is totally tripping over Connor.
"Eddie you really have to go. Mia will be home any minute. She's skipping school today all the Titans are."
"I notice you're not moving."
"You make a great pillow."
Eddie kisses the top of Connor's head. It seems like a habitual thing. Maybe he kisses the top of Connor's heads a lot.
"I don't really want you to take the job kid. I just thought I should offer it."
"You can come see me with out a job."
"I know."
"Kiss me again."
Eddie pulls Connor forward their lips met. Connor leans into it. So Connor a virgin but he's making out on his bed with an old guy who wants to pop his asscherry. Roy is never going to believe this. They pull apart. Eddie sits up reaching upward he stretches.
"I'm going to get going. I don't want to run in to any angry members of team green."
Connor reaches for his hand. "Don't leave town yet."
"I wasn't planning to. I'm not leaving till I pop your ass cherry."
Connor yanks him down for another kiss. "Don't bet on it old timer."
I head for the door. As quietly as possible I back track till I'm standing outside the front door. If Connor can be sneaky so can I. I put my key in the lock and open the door in my usually loud style. When I enter, Connor is coming down the steps. He had put on flip flops and is buttoning up a shirt. He blushes through his dark skin when he sees me.
"Mia, hi how was your half day at school."
"You won't tell Ollie I cut."
"No. Not if you get out of here before he gets back."
"Um that's fine. I'll try, we'll see what happens. I'm going to go up to my room yeah by."
I take the steps two at a time. I stop off in Connor room. Empty where did the old dude go? I slam the door to my room and toss myself backwards on to the bed. Connor's so in love with handle bar. Hander bar loves Connor. And Ollie hates handle bar. The life of men in tights. I roll on my side. I should be meeting up with Bart and Kon right about now. I really need to talk to Roy. The front door bangs open. I hear Ollie's voice than Roy's laughter. With out thinking I race downstairs. Ollie stops on his ascend up the steps.
"You should be in school."
I shrug "We had a half day."
"Oh Roy tried that one. You can't pull that one over on me." He points and accusing finger in my direction.
"Where is Connor." I make the question sound innocent.
"Don't try and district me Mia." He's trying to sound serious but his eyes are already getting curious.
"No Ollie really, where's Connor? I might be able to buy myself out of this."
He arches a brow. "He was leaving when we come in."
"Perfect I think we should take this to the kitchen."
I follow Ollie into the kitchen. Roy stands over the sink washing something out of Lian hair.
"Shouldn't you be in school?"
I roll my eyes. "Because I wasn't in school I have discover the secret life of Connor Hawke"
Ollie looks interested. He leans against the wall. I plop down in a seat.
"I cut school I will I admit to that. I snacked in to the house because I wanted to avoid well Ollie. Anyway, I heard a noise so I went upstairs and Connor was in his room wearing only a pair of jeans. And he was screaming at this dude with this huge handle bar mustache that I soon came to know as Eddie."
Ollie raises a hand. "Connor was screaming at Eddie."
"Yes"
"He was raising his voice… screaming."
"Yes."
"At Eddie."
"Yes."
Ollie flings his head back and laughs. I look to Roy who was wiping Lian hair with a towel, he shrugs.
"Ollie there is more. I don't think you're going to like it."
He snaps his mouth shut. "'What did Eddie do to my boy."
"Nothing
but. Well they where kissing. Well Eddie kissed Connor but Connor
kissed back and
Connor did ask for a kiss and than they where
lying on the bed and Eddie wants Connor asscherry but I don't think
Connor going to give it to him."
"Eddie wants to fuck my kid." The words come out in a high pitched scream I winces.
Roy covers Lain ears. "God Ollie did you have to say it like that."
Ollie turns to Roy. "He wants to touch my kid."
I stand "relaxes Ollie, Connor is a big boy. Beside I think they love each other and because of you asshole they can't be together."
"Love each other." He seems to be going in to shock.
Roy sets Lian at the table she seems to be fascinated with Ollie's red face.
Roy doesn't look at Ollie when he specks. "Is this the same Eddie that made Connor cry yesterday?"
Ollie eyes narrow. "Made Connor cry?" his face manages to turn an even darker shade of red.
Ron shrugs "Yeah they talked on the phone. Connor cried when the conversation was over. It didn't sound like they had a fight."
"I'm going to kill him." Ollie steps away from the wall fist curled at his side.
I pound my hand on the table. "Ollie! He loves Connor."
"Ollie, Connor is a grown man." Roy said this while catching up with Lian who had tried and failed to making a run for the door.
"Roy's right, Connor is a grown man." I try to put as much conviction as possible into my voice
"Eddie? He likes Eddie? Big glasses mustaches Eddie." Ollie sound bemused.
I shake my head. "Yeah I was thinking Connor could do so much better, he is beautiful."
Ollie rubs his head. "I'm to go lie down. You bought yourself out of trouble. Go meet up with the other hooligans in tights."
I jump up and kiss his cheek.
"Thanks dad." I make for the door. Half way there I realize I just called Ollie dad and I hadn't even meant to. That was odd But not odd I don't stop running till I'm in my room. I pack my bag. A weekend out of this house is much needed. Ollie is going to tear Connor a new one when he gets back. I hope he went with Eddie to rid himself of his asscherry, before he has no ass left. Not my problem. From now till Monday just me and the Teen Titans.
