Love is Complicated

"Gregory!" Gregory turned, to see Tony running down the hall after him.

"What d'you want, Tony?" Gregory opened his bedroom door and sat on his bed.

"You okay? You didn't seem to fine back there." Tony asked, following suit.

"I'm fine..." Gregory said. Tony looked out the door. He knew it wasn't going to be easy getting Gregory to open up, but he didn't know it'd be this hard. Sighing, he went to leave, when a tug on his shirt prevented him from doing so. Turning back, he didn't get time to react to Gregory's lips upon his own. The kiss was soft, and warm. Gregory pulled away, blushing furiously.

"'M sorry." He mumbled. "I, I gotta go." And he left the room, leaving a very confused Tony in his wake.

"How was Rudolph's, Tony?" his mom asked, from the kitchen as Tony came in the front door.

"It was great mom," he replied with a smile before heading upstairs. Throwing his backpack to the side, he laid on his bed and turned on his tv. But he couldn't concentrate on the show. All he could think about was Gregory and the kiss they shared.

'Why did he leave when I didn't want him to? He thought. 'And what am I going to tell Rudolph? I can't tell him what happened! He'd hate me, and probably kill Gregory. Oh, man, what a fine mess I've gotten myself into this time.

Gregory was lying in his bed, trying to sleep. However, sleep did not come to him. Sighing, he opened his window and climb up onto the roof. It was a clear, breezy night. Not a cloud in sight, leaving a full moon visible for all to see. He sat down, and stared into the distance, deep in thought.

What the hell did I do! I mean, yes, I like Tony more than I should. But, he's Rudolph's boyfriend, for god sakes! I can't make a move on him. Damn, I need help.

A crow flew down and settled beside the troubled teenage. It cawed, making it's presence know. Gregory looked down at the fowl and growled.

"Go away, bird! You need not be here!" It stayed put. "Shoo!"

"Caw! Caw!" It got up but it didn't fly away. Instead, it flew around the older boy. Growling in annoyance, he got up.

"I'm going back inside. Damn crow..."

Once inside, Gregory was finally able to get to sleep. While he slept, he had a dream...

Running through the brush, Gregory came to a lake in the middle of a thick wood. Looking around, he saw no one. A few birds flew over head. He walked towards the lake, curiosity getting him where it hurt the must(A/N: Owie!). Kneeling down, he looked at his reflection in the water. Suddenly, it began to ripple violently. Gregory looked up to see the cause. Standing before him was...

"Tony?" he asked. The blonde haired boy simple smiled. He walked towards Gregory, who found his legs useless. Reaching his destination, Tony looked up at the older boy. His eye's looked full of tears, in danger of falling. A breeze blew across the water, creating more ripples as Tony parted his lips.

"Gregory..."

The alarm clock went off. Morning had arrived, along with Saturday. Groaning, Gregory got out of his bed and made his way down stairs. His parents, and Anna were already at the table. Looking up from her toast, Anna smiled at him.

"Good morning, Gregory. Sleep well?" she asked.

"I guess you can say that," he said with a smirk and sat down.
