Fitz's POV
Fitz glanced at my watch thing, ignoring the stares of the girls in the halls. Shit, I'm gonna be late. He took off, running, glaring at the girls who stopped to giggle and twirl their hair. One even had the nerve to growl seductively.
How many of them know that I'm gay?
The bell chimed and Fitz groaned. He still had two flights of stairs to go up to get to Elvin History. (Which is literally the worst, by the way.) He sighed, trudging up the stairs slowly. He entered the classroom, blushing when most of the students turned to look at me. His eyes wandered to the beautiful, handsome boy sitting in the middle of the class. Dex smiled knowingly and nodded to the desk next to him, where he plopped down.
Professor Noria had just continued teaching, while Fitz scrambled to take his notes out. He groaned, realizing he'd left his journal at home, and Dex slid him a piece of paper. In the corner were the words I got you fam written in Dex's messy handwriting.
Fitz felt his cheeks light up and was sure he looked like a tomato. "Thank you," he mouthed, trying not to alert the Professor of their secret conversation.
At the front of the classroom, Stina was watching the boys like it was a game of tennis. Amusement filled her eyes, and she grinned knowingly. Stina had gotten better since she'd joined Team Valiant, portraying positive emotion towards the group instead of negative ones.
With a startle, Fitz realized Noria had asked him a question. "I'm sorry, can you repeat that?"
A girl at the front snickered.
"I said, what were the consequences of Miss Foster's attempts to read King Dimitar's mind and why were they horrifying?" The Professor sounded fed up.
Fitz sighed, knowing this almost by heart. "It nearly caused an interspecial accident, might've resulted in the plague that killed so many, and almost landed Sophie working in Ravagog."
Professor Noria nodded. "Thank you, Mr. Vacker." She turned back to the board and Fitz leaned back in his chair. I'm so done with this class. He grabbed his bag, leaving the class. Alden wouldn't be pleased, but he couldn't care less. He needed time to think.
He ran out to the campus grounds, where the gnomes had planted some type of tree. It reminded him of the trees he'd seen in China, like cherry blossoms but a willow at the same time.
He sat under the tree, staring at the flowers. "I feel butterflies everytime I look at him," he whispered, too scared to say it louder. "I want to tell him, but I'm afraid I'll ruin this relationship we have. I don't want to do that. What should I do?" His voice cracked as he stared at the sky, a single tear leaking from his teal eyes.
"Who are you talking to?" Fitz jumped, the gentle voice of the boy with strawberry blonde hair startling him. Fitz blushed madly, twisting his fingers.
"Nobody.." He looked down. He couldn't lie to this boy. Dex sat down next to him, concern and a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"Can I tell you something?" Dex asked, eyes aimed at the ground.
Fitz nodded. "You can tell me anything, you know."
Dex smiled weakly, taking a deep breath, seemingly to compose himself, and then said "I'm gay, Fitz. I'm gay for you."
yayyy! the babies did it! i hope this satisfies the fedex for now, back to sophiana!
