Previously Drone's POV

"Come home Drone." Lani was on the phone again and I sighed.

"Is he okay!"

"He's…I haven't heard from him." She told me and I swallowed,

"I'll be home for Christmas." I told him and she let out a breath.

"We'll be waiting."

Drone's POV

Tenth day of second grade a new boy entered our class, he was alright. He was as tall as the others his hair was gold and his eyes a shocking amber I waved him over the seat next to me empty. He walked over and sat down ignoring the teacher asking his name.

"I'm Drone."

"Karan." He replied dryly facing the front and away from me. I sighed this was not going to be easy but I'd be damned if this beautiful boy and I weren't friends!

***

The days passed quickly and I tried to get Karan to talk to me out of class. Hell it was hard to talk to my desk buddy in class, he had his eye on every girl in our class. He'd say sweet words to them making them swoon or giggle.

"Can you stop." I grumbled at him and Karan looked at me,

"Why?" He asked angrily and I glared. We had work to do, group work and I was tired of doing it alone,

"Cause we have to do this." I shoved the paper on his desk and he looked at it before frowning,

"You do it." He replied handing it back and I shook my head,

"No." He blinked surprised at what I said but I stuck to my instinct and he looked down at the sheet.

"I don't know what to do." I sighed and explained it to him, he listened intently ignoring his name being called by the other students in the room. I smiled, I'd finally caught his attention. Maybe we could be friends after all.

Time passed quickly and the two of us began to eat lunch on the edge of the woods where the fence cut off the creek, they feared we'd drown or something. Years passed and we always sat beside each other helping each other with everything we could. He still talked with the girls, hell they fell in a puddle at his feet and he enjoyed it. He liked the stubborn ones though, he'd chase them until they too gave up and then he'd move on.

"Did she fall?" I asked and Karan nodded. His pure white teeth gave me a large smile,

"It was too easy." I sighed sitting down and leaning against the fence. We were in grade seven our last year at elementary school. Karan had made every girl in the school succumb to his will. Even the teachers thought he was an "adorable" little boy. Karan sat beside me, "did we have homework yesterday?" He asked and I nodded. Karan was always like this, he saw something he wanted everything else left his mind. He saw a girl and suddenly he wanted her so much that homework didn't matter.

"It was the cross multiplying." I told him and he groaned,

"I hate fractions." He muttered and I laughed handing him a paper with messy handwriting, "sweet thanks Drone!" He called out and I shrugged,

"No problem." I told him and he leaned back relaxing against the tree, "some are wrong so that it looks like you actually did it." Karan grinned holding the paper tightly as if it was the best present ever.

"Hey Drone?" He said and I looked at him, "I have an idea." I nodded my head before he even said what it was.

"You know I'll do whatever you want." I told him and he smiled wide,

"Lets make a band."

It was a crazy idea which is why I did it. I started learning base where as he'd been taking guitar for years, he asked other guys to join but no one agreed. So we held auditions. We were young so we wanted young people in our band, you know people who wouldn't die in two years. Karan was strict about it too he wanted a dudes only band.

"I'm here to audition." We both looked up to see a girl standing in Karan's backyard. She had ripped jeans a loose black ACDC shirt on and her hair was died a bright purple. She wasn't wearing any make up and she didn't look goth at all so I looked at Karan.

"Why not." I said and Karan sighed,

"Fine." He led her to his garage where his father put the drums he'd bought him for the band. Karan's father was a lawyer and he wanted his son to be passonate about something. Apparently a band was perfect. The girl sat down and started at a low beat. It didn't take long for her to start playing so well that I actually wanted her on the band. Karan was bobbing his head to the beat so I assumed it was okay. We'd started ninth grade a few months ago and she looked like she was in eighth,

"Well?" She asked at he end and I nodded,

"Sure." I told her and she beamed,

"I'm in ninth grade my mom and I just moved her from Canada." She told us and Karan smiled,

"We're in ninth too." He said with his heart dropping smile but the girl just grinned back,

"Sorry shugah but you're not gonna have me praying at your feet." I snickered at her words and Karan glared at me,

"Not yet…"

"Name's Lani." She said before walking out of his garage Karan's eyes never left her and I felt something spark inside me.

"I have to go." I told him quickly before calling out to our new band member and asking which way she lived. Turning the corner with her I headed home my heart beating hard and fast in my chest.

Karan's POV

Our band wasn't the best without a singer but it wasn't terrible either. We got hired to do some background music or karaoke bar. We told them what songs we knew and those we didn't we'd just look up on youtube and catch the beat. Drone got really good at the base and Lani was fantastic on the drums. It was pretty cool and all, I wanted to call our band Lizards but Lani shook her head saying it was dumb. Drone said we should decide later but for now we were The Trio. Lame right. Drone watched me from the corner of his eye sometimes as we played and it unnerved me slightly.

"Kaaarannnn!" I looked down the hall to see my girlfriend Jewel she was smiling wide and I smiled back. She was hot which is probably the only reason we date, her blonde hair was up in a bun she wore a tank top that showed her breasts. Her skinny jeans defined her ass which was incredible desirable, her brown eyes were always lighten up in glee. She wrapped her thin arms around me pressing her chest against mine, "I missed you." I heard someone scoff and looked over to see Drone walk away. He walked up to Lani poking her side she squealed and jumped her now black and yellow striped hair was curled in separate colour ringlets and I wondered how long she did that for. My girlfriend tapped my cheek and I looked at her smiling,

"Hey." I said and she grinned wide,

"Did you miss me last night?" She asked and I nodded completely lying to her. Last night had been great, we'd played and I realized that we'd gathered crowds of girls, there was one that really stood out…but I couldn't tell my girlfriend that I'd spent the night cheating on her so I nodded.

"Yeah." I told her and she beamed widely,

"Come on we'll miss English!" She started to drag me to class I reluctantly followed.

"Holy shit." I swore as I walked up to see Drone floating Lani's pencil she glared at him and tried to snatch it from the air. Noticing me the pencil dropped and I stared at the two,

"What?" Lani asked and I looked from her to the pencil.

"Your supernaturals?" I asked and they both nodded slowly,

"Me too…" I replied and Drone grinned.

"Knew there was some reason I decided to become your friend." He teased and I shot him a look.

"What are you?" I asked,

"Drone's a sorcerer and I'm a water nature half demon."

"I'm Exhastio half demon."

"Is this what you do every lunch?" I asked looking around the empty area. The were in courtyard in September sitting on the stone table.

"Yeah." They replied sheepishly and I rolled my eyes.

"You both need to date." Lani made a disgusted face at my comment and Drone flushed muttering something under his breath. Lani froze and stared at him eyes wide.

"You like Lani?" I asked and Lani rolled her eyes. Drone looked up at me and gave me a small forced smile,

"It's nothing." He replied and I shrugged not wanting to push him. He was my friend.

"Karan?" I looked up to see Drone standing at my locker it's been two days since this secret he's been keeping and it really wouldn't be on my nerves if he wasn't whispering to Lani about it. It pissed me off, why couldn't I know the secret! Drone and I were friends first and usually he'd tell me anything before he'd tell a girl even if that girl was Lani. I didn't want to force him to tell me but I was tired of approaching the two talking just to have them both go silent.

"What is it Drone." I asked exasperatedly,

"I need to talk to you in private." I nodded and let him lead me outside. He stared of into space as he spoke something to himself, "I'm gay Karan." He said after a couple minutes and I cracked up.

"You gay!" I laughed harder falling to my knees I clutched my stomach as if it was erupting in pain and I laughed at him. My best friend.

"I-It's true." He stuttered out and my laughing stopped I looked up to see that my best friend was still staring off a tear fell down his face and he turned and walked back into the school. Out of my sight.

My best friend is gay?

MY BEST FRIEND IS GAY!

Oh shit!

Drone POV

"You didn't see him Lani." I argued with her and she rolled her eyes,

"See or not to see that doesn't matter!" She said and I rolled my eyes at the crazy girl, "I know that Karan won't care at all."

"He does."

"Doesn't."

"He laughed at me."

"So? It's Karan!"

"My point exactly." I argued and she sighed,

"Are you sure he didn't think you were joking?" She asked and I nodded,

"I know he knew what I meant!" I shouted and she sighed.

"Hungry?" I nodded and she left me alone in her living room. This was the worst day of my life. "Drone get the door!" I blinked my eyes and rubbed my temple pulling myself out of my misery I got up and answered the door.

"For fucks sakes don't ring th-"

"I didn't know you were here." Karan stood in her doorway. I leaned on the door frame and nodded,

"Well I am." He and I just stood awkwardly.

"Is Lani here?" I nodded and moved out of the way,

"Lani it's for you."

"For me I feel so- Karan!" I walked into the living room and sat down burying my face in the couch pillows. He could never know I loved him. If this is how he reacted to me being gay he can never know.
I ignored their chatter as I let myself be consumed by my thoughts. Soon after I fell asleep.

Karan's POV

"So…how long as he been gay?" I asked Lani once we'd sat down at the kitchen table.

"Why don't you ask him."

"I can't." I whispered looking at my hands.

"And why not?" She pressed the matter and I groaned putting my head in my hands,

"Cause it's weird! I've known him since kindergarten! He's my best friend and he's gay!" I blurted out and she spun on me splashing coffee on her white shirt as she did,

"Who cares if he's gay! He's still Drone!"

"He falls in love with guys. He's completely different now." I argued and she rolled her eyes,

"He's been in love with guys for years!" I paled and looked down, "he doesn't remember ever crushing on a girl. He switched out of gym so he wouldn't be found out. He's done all these things so you wouldn't know because he knew you would never accept him!"

"I….I do." I lied. I had to be there for him like he was for me even if it meant lying.

"Really." She pressed,

"No." I whispered and she sighed sitting down.

"I stained my favorite shirt for nothing then?" I gave a small smile and she sighed,

"I like girls." I told her and Lani rolled her eyes,

"I didn't notice that at all." Her sarcasm was clear and I smiled softly at her,

"He likes guys." She rolled her eyes,

"Deal with it Karan. You've known him longer then I."

"Maybe that's why he told you."

"It's not." She replied, "it's because he knew if he told me, I wouldn't laugh at him." That hit the core. I'd laughed at him, I'd made fun of gay couples in front of him before, I'd even teased him about being gay when I thought he was checking out a male teller. (Probably was.) Sighing I got to my feet and moved to the living room. There asleep on the couch was a mess of black hair and loose jeans. His white school uniform shirt stood against the bale blue of the couch.

"Drone?" I shook his leg and he woke up looking over his shoulder he noticed me and looked away, "hey look at me when I'm talking to you!"

"No." He mumbled into his pillow. I rolled my eyes and pushed him off the couch, "oof!" He groaned and sat up as I sat on the couch.

"So you're gay."

"Yes." He grumbled looking down,

"Who else knows?"

"Lani."

"That's all?" He nodded, "not even your parents?"

"They'd hate me too." He sighed still staring a the ground.

"Too?" I pressed and he frowned,

"Like you do." He muttered looking up and away from me.

"I don't hate you Drone," I rolled my eyes and punched his arm, "how could I hate my best friend for opening up to me." He smiled slightly and looked up at me.

"Thanks."

"But it will take me awhile to get used to the whole my best friend is gay thing." He nodded accepting the fact automatically, "it's just different now."

"You just have to stop setting me up with girls."

"Guess so."

Drone's POV

We always had flyers up for new band members and we got a call around six months after Karan found out. His name was Daniel and he played the guitar and sang, we called him in automatically. He visited a few days later and walked into the garage with Karan. Lani grinned at him and he played something for us and was accepted pretty damn quick. Hell he was amazing.

"I'm Daniel." He told us and we smiled.

"You're bigger for our age." Lani brought up and he blushed,

"Born this way."

"Hmm." She mumbled something under her breath and his eyes went wide.

"What is it!" Karan said looking around confused and I rolled my eyes. Lani could always see when someone was connected to nature or wildlife,

"Oh my gosh! This is so cool!" She cheered, "he's a werewolf! We're a supernatural band!"

"H-how did-" Daniel started to ask and I shrugged,

"She's weird that way." I told him and he smiled, "she can tell cause werewolves are connected to the animal wolf and she can sense that."

"Cool."

"Supernaturals not a bad band name." Daniel said and Lani nodded enthusiastically,

"Thanks." He was our new member, a little daft and dumb but he could play the guitar. Gig numbers went up but he wasn't the best singer in the world.

Karan's POV

"Shit! Shit!" I looked down the alley to see a petite blonde leaning against the wall she was staring at something and I moved closer to see what it was, "I don't know how Liz! Derek's usually here. I miss him." I made it closer and noticed what it was. A squirrel.

"It won't hurt you." The girl screamed and jumped spinning around to look at me,

"Uh….it's not what it looks like."

"It looks like your scared of a squirrel," The girl blushed and nodded her head. Looking back over I noticed the squirrel was closer. It had no back legs its nose twitched and it's skin was falling off, "a dead squirrel?"

"I-It's a m-movie."

"Or your a Necromancer." She looked at me,

"You know about supernaturals?" She asked and I nodded.

"Yeah, I'm a Exhastio half demon." She beamed at me,

"It's nice to know you…"

"Karan."

"It's nice to meet you Karan I'm Chloe." Chloe smiled at me and I held a hand out for her,

"Just relax and release it." She nodded and closed her blue eyes. Usually when I'm around a girl I flirt but there was an air around her that made it clear that there was no way she was interested in me,

"Th-thanks." She stuttered and I grinned,

"No problem. Do you live around here?" I asked and she nodded, "seriously!? Someone like you shouldn't have to live here."

"I…I left my boyfriend." I nodded me head at that,

"Ah, so now you have to live in a crappy apartment while he gets the nice one." She shrugged,

"Just the way things worked out." She whispered,

"That's too bad." I lead her out of the alley way and looked down the streets.

"It's this way." She told me pointing to the left I smiled and took her hand,

"Lets go then." She hesitated and I let her hand go, "relax I'm not a rapist of anything it's just not often you meet another supernatural." She nodded her head,

"Yeah I guess you're right."

"Your the first necromancer I've met." I told her and she smiled at me.

"We're rare alright."

"Yeah my band mates are supernaturals as well took us forever to find out that the other was!"

"Really! You're all supernaturals?" She asked and smiled and nodded at her,

"Drone's a sorcerer, Lani's a nature half demon and Daniel is a werewolf." I told her and she looked down,

"My boyfriend is a werewolf."

"Your ex?" I asked and she nodded,

"Yeah my ex-boyfriend." She whispered her voice shaking slightly,

"Did you break up recently?" I asked and she nodded,

"Really recent."

"Hmm, can you sing?" I asked her and she looked at me strangely,

"What?"

"I asked if you could sing my band Supernatural could use a female singer."

"Yeah I can sing."

"Okay you're hired!" I cheered fairly certain my smile was a mile wide.

"Thank you." She whispered and I looked down at her.

"Your very welcome Chloe." I told her honestly. Why wasn't I flirting with her. Usually when I was alone with a girl I was even hesitant to flirt, I looked down at her and when she looked up at me her blue eyes shook me to my core and I thought of Drone. His thick black hair and his lopsided smile, his bright blue eyes that always hid his emotions from everyone. My best friend. My gay best friend.

THE PRESENT

"Hey Chloe, it's me. Derek." He whispered as he took ahold of his hand, "it's Christmas soon and I hate the thought of it. Another Christmas without my Chloe and I actually thought that this year would be different. I've been thinking for weeks that you'll wake up and you'll be there with me." He whispered fear crept into his voice and he held her hand to his face tears falling down his cheeks to merge with her soft pale skin. "I miss you more every day, I wish you would wake up, that's all I want for Christmas. All I want is you." He whispered into the empty room his words reaching only his ears and the ones hidden under soft golden hair. Ears attached to a body that would never awaken. At least not before Christmas.

A/N- Hope this was good.
