Chapter Ten: When I Go Down, I'm Taking You With Me

Jesse

That was absolutely the best shower I've ever had. I can't sit here and daydream though or we'll be late for breakfast. I fixed my tie and waited for Marco to join me from the bathroom. I'm not sure if he had a good time or not…it was so surreal.

Even though it was great, I actually feel bad about it. Rex is still my boyfriend. I sighed, pulling on my baseball cap. Hopefully this will all work out for everyone.

Marco

I swore I wouldn't do any of this with Jesse. We didn't do much; mainly just kissing and washing each other. No major sexual boundaries were crossed, but I still don't know if I can face him now. He has a boyfriend.

Everything with Rory is different because we're just using each other to get back at Andrew. This is all so wrong that it's not even funny. I'm acting like Dylan now and I hate it.

No, I'm not acting like Dylan. I'm acting like that kid Dylan was with. I knew Jesse had a boyfriend while I did all of that, and now I'm starting to feel guilty.

I finished putting my uniform on and joined Jesse. Neither of us would look at each other and we walked silently to breakfast.

Craig was there, waiting for me.

"Hey," I said glumly, sitting down across from him. Jesse went off in search of the rest of the guys since we hadn't met them at their rooms.

"What's wrong? I thought you were having a good time this morning," he said, grinning.

"I don't want to talk about it," I told him.

"Oh, okay."

An awkward moment of silence followed as we both stared at our food.

"That's him," Craig said suddenly, breaking the silence.

"Who?" I asked, trying to see who he was pointing to. All I could see was a bunch of people I didn't know, and Nate.

"The guy I want to get to know." He smiled. "He's cute."

"Which one?" I asked.

"Him." And he pointed. Oh man.

"Nate?" I asked him in disbelief.

"You know him?" he asked me excitedly.

"Of course I do. He's just…Nate." I shrugged.

"Is he gay?"

"Wow, you're really into this huh? And yes, he is gay." I watched Craig's grin grow and grow. I just would have never thought…

"Does he have a boyfriend?" he asked. Looks like Craig's gonna get into this just like he would with a girl. I have to admit, he seems pretty fearless when it comes to relationships.

"Let's find out," I grinned. Of course I already knew. "Hey Nate!" I yelled, waving him over.

"Don't Marco!" Craig whispered, hiding his face. Okay, maybe he's not so fearless after all.

"Don't be such a baby Craig. He doesn't have a boyfriend. Just talk to him…" I trailed off as he approached the table. He sat down in his regular seat, which just so happened to be conveniently next to Craig. "Nate, this is my friend Craig," I said, introducing him.

"Hey." He started eating, and Craig didn't make any attempt to talk at all. I made all kinds of faces at him, urging him to. When he didn't, I decided to instead.

"Nate, I'm gonna do what you asked me to," I said. Craig had no idea what I was talking about, but it was better if he didn't anyway.

"Really? Thanks. I knew you'd be perfect for it," he said, smiling.

"I gotta ask you a favor in return though," I said.

"What's that?"

"Well, you see, Craig here…" I trailed off. Craig was making frantic gestures but I ignored him. "Craig thinks he might be gay. And he was looking for someone to help him out," I said.

Nate

Does this mean that Craig is interested in me? He is cute. This could be good.

"Meet me at my room after classes today," I said. "I know just the thing."

"Okay," Craig said, smiling.

This is going to be a good day.

Remy

"Mr. James?" I approached my Chemistry teacher after class.

"Yes Remy?" he asked. He was packing up his things for lunch break.

"I'm having a little trouble with some of these equations," I said, pointing to my notebook. "Would there be any chance that you could help me after school sometime?"

"Sure. Why don't you meet me back here after dinner?"

A date with Mr. James. He has to be the only gay teacher here; and also the hottest one. Okay, so it's not a date, but I wish it was. He's gorgeous. If anyone tempted my sexuality, it was him.

Maybe I can get him to flirt a little, to get my mind off of what's been going on around here. My brothers are getting crazy.

Rory

All of my classes were boring, as usual. I'm looking forward to my Marco time before dinner. I walked into my room that was void of any sign of Andrew. He probably hasn't come back yet. Good. That gives us some time.

I pulled my blazer off, along with my shoes, socks, and pants. Then I unbuttoned all of the buttons on my shirt and loosened my tie.

Without knocking, Marco burst into the room. He was wearing his pants and tie. No blazer or shirt. He looked so hot.

I rushed to him, kissing him hard and pulling him close to me. I started to unzip and unbutton his pants almost instantly.

"I want you," I said in between kisses. "Right now."

Instead of replying, Marco kept kissing me and pushing me back towards my bed. I shook my head, pointing at Andrew's bed instead. This'll teach him.

I flopped down on my back and watched Marco pull his pants off. He climbed on top of me and started kissing my neck. He kissed down my stomach, and to the top of my boxers. Then he pulled them off. With. His. Teeth.

I was so ready for him that I couldn't take it anymore.

Marco turned around, pulling off his own boxers as I put a condom on. Gotta be safe.

I went inside of him just as Andrew walked in. Marco gripped the bedpost and didn't make a move. I couldn't stop. The look of pain and horror across Andrew's face made me feel bad, but then I was intrigued to have someone watching.

Marco and I grabbed each others ties and pulled as I thrusted in and out. Andrew ran into the bathroom and locked himself in while we finished, moaning each other's names the entire time.

I collapsed on top of him, breathing heavily.

I could just make out Andrew's sobs as the silence grew between us.

Andrew

I can't take this anymore. Why do I even bother?

Sobbing uncontrollably, I pulled the razor out once again.

Each time one of them called out the other's name, I sliced my arm.

I had fifteen new cuts by the time they were finished.

Throwing the razor into the tub, I sat with my back against the door, my blood soaking the white tiles underneath me.

Craig

I nervously approached Nate's door. Taking a deep breath, I knocked.

"Come in!" he called. Obeying, I slowly opened the door and found him lying on this bed, in nothing but a tie.

I mean nothing.

"Um…" I trailed off. I gulped and closed the door, not knowing what to do.

"Don't be scared. If you want to find out if you're gay or not, there's only one real way," he said. "But we'll start slow; I promise."

Nate

This is all too funny. Me, the pill-addicted, loner, virgin boy, about to seduce some guy I barely even know.

As soon as I saw Craig, I knew I wanted him. When Marco told me that he needed help; I jumped at the chance.

"Have you ever been kissed by a guy before?" I asked him, watching his every move.

He nodded his head, but didn't say a word.

"Let me guess? Marco?"

Another nod.

"I haven't had the pleasure, but I'm sure I could do better."

I approached him and kissed him on the lips. Stepping back to see his reaction, I found it positive, and stepped towards him again. This time I slipped my tongue into his mouth.

"Did you like that?" I asked, watching his face.

He nodded yet again.

"Do you actually talk?" I joked.

"Y…yes…" he stuttered. I made sure the door was locked, and then led him over to my bed. He sat down where I motioned, but I didn't sit with him.

I slowly pulled his pants down, waiting for his reaction. When they were down around his ankles, I watched him gulp, but he didn't stop me.

Reaching a hand inside of his boxers, I touched him. He tensed up instantly.

"Do you want me to stop?" I asked innocently.

"No," he answered confidently. Ladies and Gentlemen, the first 'no' of the evening!

A/N: I updated again because I got such awesome reviews! I love all of you guys...thanks for taking the time. I've decided to spare you the details of the rest of Nate and Craig's rendezvous. Next chapter, Nate will be talking about it though, just so you know what happened. I know they're movingfast, but Craig is trying to experiment and whatnot.Okay, so as you should'venoticed by now, there won't really be much of anything about classes or work they have to do, except for the random homework assignment or something.I'm just focusing on their before and after school activities.
