3 Tainted Love 3
Shadow coughed and gagged as he broken the surface of the freezing bath water his mom had forced him under.
"Shh," She hushed soothingly. "It will all be over soon." She forced him back under. He clawed at her hands and wrists.
"We just need to make you clean." She told him as she let him back up. "It's not normal for boys to like other boys. God doesn't like it."
"Fuck God," He said, voice a bit horsed.
She smacked him.
"You will change your clothes then come down stairs to recite your Psalms." He mom said.
"Yes Mother." He spat out.
3 Tainted Love 3
Mike didn't sleep at all last night. He wasn't feeling guilty about what he did to Trevor. In fact he was quite happy about that. What was really on his mind was the kiss Thorn had given to him.
He looked over at him clock. It the 6: 45 in blinking red letters. He threw on his hoddie and high tops and headed out the door, deciding he wanted to get to school early.
Mike was surprised to see Thorn sitting in there usual spot drinking something from Starbucks when he arrived at 7.
"I thought Starbucks was run by mindless corporate zombies." He said sitting by him.
"It is, but there mochas are fucking awesome." He said.
The next few minutes were filled with an awkward silence.
Mike took a deep breath. "I think we need to talk about yesterday."
"You're not having second thoughts about Trevor are you?"
"No it's not about Trevor, it's about what happen at my house." Mike said.
"And what was that?" He asked.
"You kissed me."
"So?"
"I wanna know why." Mike said.
"I like you, so I kissed you. It's really not that hard of concept." Thorn said casully.
"You, like me?" He asked.
"Yeah, I believe that's what I just said."
"Oh, yeah." Mike looked away and began fidgeting with the bottom of his sweat shirt. "I like you too by the way."
"I already knew that."
"How?"
"You stare at me a lot when you think I'm not looking." Thorn explained.
"Oh," Mike blushed. "Sorry about that."
"Don't apologize, it's a sign of weakness." Thorn said.
"Okay." Mike said.
There seemed to be a lot of silence that morning.
"Do you think we could…um, kiss again?" He asked nervously.
"You're not supposed to ask." Thorn told him.
"Oh." Mike leaned closer, to afraid to close the gap between their lips completely.
Thorn rolled his eyes and kissed him.
This kiss was longer then the other one. Neither one made any attempt to deepen the kiss at first. Then Thorn gently slid his hand over Mike's and began sucking on his bottom lip gently.
Someone cleared their throat.
They pulled apart quickly.
"Having fun?" Shadow asked with an amused smile on his face.
"We were," Thorn responded.
"And when were you planning on telling the others about this?" Shadow asked, raising an eyebrow.
"It all depends. When were you planning on telling us about Browfloski?" He asked.
Shadow's expression changed from amusement to what could be considered fear.
"H-how did you know about Ike?" He voice faltering slightly.
"He," Thorn jabbed his thumb at Mike. "Saw you two on your little date the other day. The only one he told was me, right?" He looked over at Mike.
"Y-yeah, only Thorn." Mike agreed.
"Good," Shadow said sitting down in his normal spot. "So nobody is going to find out about either relationship, right?"
"Right." The other two agreed.
Mike, however, didn't want to keep it a secret. He's been in his fair share of secret relationships, okay so maybe once, when he was 9, but from that experience it didn't end well.
He sighed, it felt like another long day.
