In My Head
Chapter One

Rain was hitting the window while thunder rumbled the lightning filled sky, and oddly enough it was very soothing. Wyatt let out a soft sigh when he glanced out the window before looking over at his girlfriend, who was lounging on the bed with two of her best friends giggling with her as they looked at a magazine. Honestly, he wanted nothing more than to go back home but he had walked over and his mother was already asleep and his girlfriend's mother was working.

"Wyatt, stop moping already. You're spending the night with your girlfriend, you should be happy." Jennifer Stone noted towards the blonde who fixed her with a glare.

"You know, if it were just me and her, I would be happy." Wyatt retorted and Jennifer shrugged her shoulders while Morgan rolled her eyes at him.

"You could try to get in on our conversation, baby," Bianca spoke and Wyatt huffed before he stood and plopped down on the end of the bed and leaned over to look at the magazine. "We're finding out how passionate our boyfriends are, you aren't doing so bad."

"Well that, that just sounds exciting," Wyatt muttered as he looked forward at the light purple walls and then frowned softly. "Your brother is here, right?"

"I think so, how should I know?" Bianca asked without looking up. "Why?"

"Um, I'll be back," Wyatt said as he rose from the bed and opened the white door before closing it behind him softly. Now which one was Chris's room? Wyatt opened the first door and quickly shut it when he realized it was Bianca's mothers room and he knew that the one next to it was the bathroom. He went to the first door on the other side of the hall and knocked gently before pushing it open and glancing inside. Indeed, Chris was home. "Hey, do you mind if I hang out in here for a while?"

"Why would you want to hang out in my room?" Chris asked curiously and Wyatt didn't note any hostility in his voice so he slowly walked in and glanced around. The walls were painted a light green and his room had less clutter hanging about. Well, compared to Bianca's room but it was actually quite similar to his own.

"Your sister and her friends are finding out how passionate their boyfriends are and I'd rather shoot myself than hang around in there right now." Wyatt finally answered and Chris raised an eyebrow at him.

"So basically I'm one step above shooting yourself?" Chris questioned and Wyatt's eyes went wide and he opened his mouth to object when Chris smiled. "I'm joking, feel free to sit down." With that the brunette turned back to his computer and went back to his conversation that he had been in the middle of. Wyatt quietly walked over to the bed and sat down on the end as he looked at the TV that was on and quickly lost interest in the show that was playing.

Wyatt glanced back over at the brunette and was easily able to see how much he had changed since the last time that Wyatt had actually took the time to notice him. His hair had grown out for one thing and was now down just past his ears and Wyatt had to admit that he looked much better with longer hair. He no longer had his glasses which made his emerald eyes stand out more against his lightly tanned skin. It also appeared as if he went through a growth spurt even though Wyatt wasn't sure exactly how much he had grown but he definitely grew into his body and looks. Puberty really was a wonder to behold.

"So, how have you been?" Wyatt asked and Chris glanced over at him.

"Ok, I suppose. You?" Chris murmured with his eyes back on his computer.

"Good," Wyatt responded and Chris nodded slightly. "You're a junior, right?"

"Uh huh and you're a senior." Chris spoke and Wyatt was the one to nod.

"You do go to Baker, right?" Wyatt asked and Chris looked over at him with a surprised look on his face which turned to annoyance very quickly and Wyatt was immediately reminded of Bianca. Apparently the two were actually related after all.

"Are you actually being serious?" Chris asked and Wyatt was tempted to lie but he forced himself to lie. "I'm in your math class. I sit in front of you."

Wyatt felt himself blush against his own will and scratched the back of his neck lightly in embarrassment. "Sorry, I'm not usually very observant in math."

"I can tell." Chris muttered as he rolled his eyes.

"I'm really sorry." Wyatt spoke a moment later and Chris just shrugged.

"It's ok, believe me, I've heard it before," The words came a moment later and Wyatt hesitated in his reply, unsure of what to say to the brunette. He was saved from the awkward moment when Chris shut down his computer and then turned in his chair to face Wyatt as he bit his bottom lip and looked around his room. "Um, do you want to play a game or something?"

"Sure," Wyatt responded rather quickly, grateful for anything to get away from the previous subject. How in the world didn't he notice him there before?

"I have a couple racing games and a few shooting games that are fun." Chris spoke as he got up and Wyatt immediately noted that he had in fact grown a couple inches but was still only about 5'8" and rather slender. In fact, Wyatt would never say it out loud but Chris's body was rather feminine and soft.

"I could play a racing game." Wyatt said and Chris nodded as he bent down to grab his racing games from the cabinet underneath his TV and Wyatt quickly looked away when his eyes had been drawn towards Chris's ass. Despite looking away he couldn't keep his mind from it and his eyes went wide when he felt a stirring in his groin and quickly tried to think about something. Anything.

What the hell?

Chris stood up straight a moment later with three games in his hands as he held them out to Wyatt so he could choose which one he wanted to play. Wyatt blindly reached out and grabbed one without really reading the cover. How could Chris get that sort of reaction out of him? This was his girlfriend's brother he was talking about and it just wasn't right. Never before had this happened, so why now?

Wyatt looked up at the screen when Chris plopped down on the bed next to him with a controller in hand and he grabbed the second one from his hands when Chris offered it without really looking over at him.

"Are you ok?" Chris asked with a frown and Wyatt forced himself to smile and nod.

"Yeah, just thinking about something stupid." Wyatt responded to him and Chris gave him a little smile before looking back at the screen. What the hell?

- - - - - - - -

Nearly two hours later Wyatt had finally retreated back to Bianca's room. He had to admit, Chris wasn't nearly as bad as Bianca said he was nearly everyday. In fact, he had actually enjoyed himself more with Chris in those couple hours than he had with Bianca the entire day he'd spent with her. When he entered the room they were no longer looking at a magazine and were watching some TV show on MTV that Wyatt vaguely remembered Bianca mentioning a few times before.

"Where have you been?" Bianca asked as Jennifer and Morgan looked over at him.

"I was hanging out with Chris." Wyatt answered as he sat down on the chair that was a couple inches away from Bianca's bed and when he looked back at her she had an incredulous look on her face, along with her two best friends.

"You spent the last two hours with that loser?" Bianca asked and Wyatt nodded and then frowned when Bianca's words processed in his mind.

"He's really not that bad, baby. Chris is pretty interesting actually." Wyatt spoke and Bianca stared at him like he had grown another head.

"You're joking, right? He's my little brother Wyatt, you can't be friends with him."

"Why not?" Wyatt asked with a frown on his face.

"Because I said so." Bianca replied and Wyatt responded before he really thought about what he was saying.

"That's a pretty stupid reason."

"Oh? Then how about you go sleep in his room with him if he's that interesting. What in the hell does that even mean?" Bianca snapped as she glared at her boyfriend of two years.

"It means that he's funny and kind. And you know what, maybe I will if you're going to act like that." Wyatt spoke as he stood to leave and Bianca let out a sigh.

"I'm sorry, ok? Just...stay here." She said and Wyatt was tempted to leave but nodded his head as he sat back down in the rather comfortable chair. It was a pretty stupid reason to have a fight, really.

"I wonder how'd she react if she found out that my body seems to find him interesting too." Wyatt thought idly before he shook his head lightly. It must have just been a one time thing where his mind recognized Chris's ass as Bianca's. After all, they did look a lot alike body wise...well, minus a few things. "Still, this is one of those things that's better kept in my head."

After all, it was a one time thing. Nothing more.

So you may have noticed that this sounds slightly familiar, yes? Well that's because it's a rewrite of Harder to Breathe. Why? Because I was reading through it and I was actually embarrassed to have it up. I think that my writing style has changed so much since I wrote that story that it deserves to be re-written. Also, sorry for not posting for a while there - I just completely lost my muse for my stories but I think that writing this may just help stir up some of those writing juices. I would also like to announce that my favorite cousin in the world is officially on FanFiction after much pressure on my part so she really helped me stay on track so I could get this chapter out, so thank you Lexis. Um, I believe that is it so...read & review! (:
