Chapter 28

Killer wiped his forehead with the bottom of his T-shirt. They had been playing basketball during PE, and the class had been divided into four teams. He had gotten pretty competitive, wanting to win from Drake's team no matter what. It was a shame Killer was pretty much the only good member of their team, but they still had managed to win by three points.

As he let his shirt fall down his stomach again, he caught Drake staring at him, and Killer smirked victoriously. "Better luck next time," he said, as he walked past Drake towards the changing room. Most other students had already left the hall to change or take a shower first. Yeah, a shower sounded like a good idea right now. The game had left him pretty sweaty.

He reached the bench where he'd left his bag and clothes and started to strip down. Not everyone showered after PE class, and Killer didn't always either. But if he had sweated a lot, he preferred to take a quick shower before resuming the rest of his day. He wasn't shy about his body anyway, and didn't mind if the other boys saw him naked. Some guys seemed to be a little more sensitive about it, as there were some he had never seen taking a shower. Well, if they wanted to walk around stinking the rest of the day, that was their choice.

It took him a minute to take all of his clothes off, but he left his hair tied up. Just because he wanted to take a shower, didn't mean he wanted to get his hair wet. Washing that stuff took forever, and if it just got wet and had to dry, his hair became all fluffy and super curly. He hated that. So, when he was showering somewhere other than home, he preferred to keep his hair dry.

He grabbed his towel from his bag and hung it over one of the towel hooks near the showers. While he walked towards an empty shower spot, he couldn't help but let his eyes wander over the bodies of the other guys in the shower, glad his bangs still covered a big part of his eyes. When he reached an empty spot, his eyes fell on the naked body of the last guy, and Killer cursed inside his mind. For a moment he had forgotten his class had merged with Penguin's. Penguin had been in one of the other teams, so Killer hadn't played a game with him, and he hadn't expected to find him in the showers.

Killer turned on the shower while he looked at the naked frame of his boyfriend. Penguin didn't seem to have noticed him, because he was standing with his eyes closed underneath the warm spray of the shower. Killer followed the water as it streamed down his face, over his chest and stomach and flowed towards the inside of his legs. Damn. Even when Penguin wasn't aroused – which was a rare occasion to begin with – he looked hot.

Killer swallowed hard. He couldn't wait to be alone with him that afternoon. Even if they'd only have a little time before Penguin's dad would come home, Killer was going to make the most of it. And even when Law would come home… Killer trusted him to not walk in on them – as long as they were in Penguin's room with the door closed, this time. And Killer knew exactly what he wanted to do with Penguin today. He'd done enough research to feel confident about it. Sure, he was a little nervous, but he really wanted to try it. He licked his lips at the prospect.

Penguin still hadn't opened his eyes and let his soaped-up hands wander over his body. Killer only had eyes from him. Fuck, Penguin had no right to be that hot. The way his hands–

"Someone's got a boner," the teasing voice of one of the other guys cut his thought.

Killer's heart stopped as he glanced down for half a second to confirm that, yep, it was him who had a boner. Fuck, he wished these showers didn't just have one temperature setting.

He glanced for a moment at the guy who had spoken, but didn't dare to meet his gaze. Instead, he averted his eyes back to Penguin, who had opened his eyes and was now obviously staring at him – just as all the other guys were, he was sure. Killer saw a slight smile on Penguin's lips, before he averted his eyes.

"Why do you have a boner, Killer?" tThe guy who had spoken earlier asked. "In the men's shower?"

Killer had to resist the urge to turn around and hide his erection. The damage had been done already anyway, but he didn't know how to react. Somehow, he thought he would make the situation worse if he'd start a fight about this right now, in his state.

"Oh, shut up!" To Killer's surprise, Penguin had spoken. He turned off the shower and walked past Killer, to stand between him and the annoying guy who was ready to out him. "Like you've never had a boner at random moments."

Killer stared at his boyfriend's back, which wasn't helping his situation a lot, though the shock of being caught having a boner in the men's shower was.

"Not while I'm showering with guys," their classmate flung back.

"Well, lucky you." Penguin met the guy's stare head on. "I guess you never let your mind wander off during a shower then."

Killer had never been so grateful in his life. He had never expected anyone to step up for him, not even Penguin, or maybe even especially not Penguin, since he wanted Killer to be out of the closet. This had been a perfect opportunity for him to let that happen, and yet he was defending him.

"Of course, I do," the guy said again. "When I'm at home…"

"Don't be an asshole. These things happen," Penguin replied, and one of the other guys in the shower mumbled he agreed with him.

Killer could only stare at the back of Penguin's head. Fuck, Penguin, I love you.

Penguin glared at the guy in front of him, while he was trying really hard to push the image of Killer in the shower, his hair up in a messy bun, and a hard on that couldn't be missed, out of his mind. It wouldn't do the situation much good if he ended up in the same state.

The guy before him rolled his eyes. "Geez, chill, I was just joking."

Penguin shook his head. "You gotta work on your jokes, 'cause that wasn't funny."

The guy huffed. "I didn't know his boyfriend would get angry." Penguin hated that he got a chuckle from the boy next to him.

Well, you should have known better. He could just swallow the words. Instead, Penguin raised his eyebrows. "Very mature."

"I'm just kidding!" the guy groaned. "Of course I know Killer isn't gay. If he was, I wouldn't be in the same shower as him."

God, Penguin wanted to punch the guy. Fucking homophobic asshole. But if he'd start a fight again… that wouldn't be good – he didn't want to get kicked out of school, and he definitely didn't want to face his father if that happened. He would just have to hurt him with words. Penguin huffed. "Why? No one in their right mind would be attracted to you, anyway."

A few oohs were heard from both inside the shower and outside the shower, where apparently some boys had started watching what was going on.

The guy looked pissed now, but didn't seem to have a comeback. He turned off the shower and walked angrily into the changing room, snapping at the boys who had gathered at the entrance of the showering area. "What you looking at?! I'm not the one with a boner!"

Penguin followed him out of the shower much slower, making sure he didn't look back at Killer, so it would appear as if he didn't care about him or the state he was in. The boys in the dressing room were slowly going back to what they were doing before by the time Penguin took his towel off the hook and placed it around his hips. Except for two or three guys who tried to peek in as inconspicuously as possible – which wasn't very inconspicuous. Penguin immediately noticed Drake was one of them, and was staring right past Penguin into the showers, a blush on his face.

Penguin gritted his teeth and snapped his fingers in front of Drake's face. "Don't even think about it," he warned him.

Drake seemed to wake from his trance and colored an even deeper shade of red. "I wasn't thinking anything."

"Sure." Penguin couldn't help but chuckle a bit at how red Drake was. He hadn't expected him to be such a prude. But he was already completely dressed in his normal clothes and hadn't taken a shower, so either he was too self-conscious to show himself completely naked, or he was afraid he'd be too affected by looking at naked boys. Penguin smirked as he walked on to where he'd left his clothes. Probably both.

Penguin got dressed, but did look around occasionally to look for Killer. It was only when the majority of the people had left the dressing room, when Killer finally exited the showers. Penguin had just been ready to leave as well, but stayed a little longer to look at Killer, who was just wearing a towel. It should be illegal to be that hot, Penguin thought.

Killer made eye contact for just a second and smiled shortly at him, before he started dressing himself. Penguin thought it better to leave, before he did something that would put Killer in the spotlight again. He would see him later today anyway, as Killer would come to his house after school.

But it was sooner than that, that Penguin saw him again. He was walking with Shachi towards his next class, a few hours later, when he spotted Killer between the other students in the hallway. Killer was going in the opposite direction, and was accompanied by Heat. They made eye contact when they were still pretty far apart, though no one else might have noticed it, between Penguin's cap and Killer's bangs. But Penguin knew when Killer was looking at him, and held his gaze.

A small smile lingered on Killer's lips, but when the four of them came closer, that smile turned into a smirk.

"You!" Killer said harshly when they were only a few feet apart. He grabbed the collar of Penguin's shirt, pulled him out of the crowd and pushed him roughly up against the wall.

Penguin cursed inwardly. Why did this treatment turn him on? It didn't make sense.

He watched Killer looking threateningly at him. "When I see you later…" Killer started in an angry tone, and he brought his face closer, so his mouth was next to Penguin's ear. On a much lower volume and in a much softer tone, he finished his sentence, "…I wanna suck your dick."

Penguin's eyes widened. He didn't know what he had expected Killer to say, but this was not it. Not at all. Penguin looked dumbfounded at him while Killer pulled his head back and looked challenging at him, as if he'd just threatened him. He gave Penguin one final push before he returned to Heat's side as if he hadn't just promised to give Penguin a blowjob after school.

"What was that about?" He heard Heat ask, and the two of them continued their way. Penguin followed them with their eyes and saw Killer shrug, but couldn't hear his answer.

What the fuck. Had Killer actually said that?! Penguin stared after them in disbelief.

He felt his wrist being grabbed, and Shachi pulled him away from the wall he was still standing against, to continue their way towards class as well. "You guys have a weird way of flirting."

Penguin stared at his friend, still in shock, but slowly Killer's words started to sink in. Fuck, he wanted to give him head? Today?! Suddenly, Penguin couldn't wait for school to be over.

Shachi looked at him curiously. "What's with that face? What did he say?"

"I–" Penguin felt his cheeks become red. "I don't think I should repeat that."

"Why not?" Shachi smirked suggestively at him. "Was it something naughty?"

Penguin nodded slowly. "Very."

"Wait, really?" Shachi sounded surprised. Apparently, he had only meant it teasingly and hadn't expected it to be true. "Jezus, you really have a weird way of flirting." He was silent for a moment. "But now I'm kinda curious what he said. But don't tell me if it's too explicit."

"I'm not gonna tell you anyway," Penguin said. "It's private."

"Private my ass," Shachi said. "He shouldn't have said it in the middle of a crowded hallway then."

"Obviously, I was the only one who heard what he said." And somehow, that made it even more exciting. The fact that Killer had said it in the first place was already something he hadn't expected, but that he said it in the middle of school, with their friends present, while almost whispering it into Penguin's ears… That was fucking sexy.

"Fine. Then don't tell me." Shachi crossed his arms. "He shouldn't throw you against the wall like some bully, though. Why do you let him treat you like that?"

Penguin chuckled and shook his head. "I don't mind it if he's doing it." Shachi would think he was crazy if he knew the whole truth.

TBC~!

Can you guess what's going to happen next chapter? 😏
