"Would you do something for me?"

"Of course. Anything you want." He replied, with a smile.

"Promise me that from now forward you won't read my mind without my permission."

"I promise."

I had been there for a week and I was loving it! I met loads of new people with amazing powers. In the mansion, my major companies were Frank, Mikey, Bob, Ray, a really nice boy that could fly, Michael Pedicone, whose power was to be whoever he wanted, and Aang and his friends.

During that week I found out that Frank's dad was like us. Mutants it's the correct name. He could see in the dark like it was daytime.

I also learned that we are like this because of a gene that was modified as the time passed by. This gene was given through the father which means that if I had a child, he/she would be a mutant as well, but if the mutant is a woman and they get pregnant of a non-mutant man, then the kid isn't a mutant; but if it was a boy, his children would be mutants.

Would this all mean that my dad was a mutant as I am? Finally I'd understand the mystery that involved my father since he disappeared.

With Frank's help, I decided to do a research about him. In the school's records there was no one with the name "Donald Way", so I just looked for the last name, "Way". BINGO! Thomas Way; born in New Jersey, 40 years old. It said he lived in New York now, with a woman called Susan. I wrote his number in a small piece of paper and put it in my pocket.

"Why don't you call him now?" asked Frank.

"Because this is something I need to discuss with Mikey… And I think I'm not ready for this yet…"

He grabbed my hand and said "Come. I want to show you something."

"Can we get out?" I said, when we left the mansion.

"Well, we're going to a zone that's still inside the limits of the mansion, so…"

He hadn't let go of my hand yet and we got into the woods. We got to a very green area, with blue and orange flowers, where there was not even a sound, like there was no life around but me, him and the nature. We sat down near the biggest tree that was there.

"My dad used to bring me here. He said that someday, when I'd come to study and live here, he'd be here for me and that he wouldn't let anyone hurt me. In some way, what he said became true." He said.

"Shouldn't your brother be here as well?"

"Tyson? No, this is for nerds, for him. He has powers as well, but he prefers not using them and just being a "normal" person, like he says."

"Is he like you physically?"

"No, we're fake twins. Why?"

"Well, I wouldn't like to see a replica of you."

"Sorry, but I still don't understand."

"It's just that… you're so perfect in so many ways, that it wouldn't be right having someone just like you out there."

"You really think so, Gee?" He asked, getting closer to me.

"I'm sure of it." I said, and got so close to him that I could feel him breathing. He was looking right into my eyes; you can't imagine how sparkling and green they were at that moment. I got even closer. Now there was just a small space between our mouths. I was as nervous as he was. None of us wanted to give the first step, but we both wanted to do this so badly.

Without further hesitations, I put my hand in his face and I pushed him to me, making his lips touch mine, as I kissed him. He kissed me back. Our kisses were getting more and more intense. I passed my tongue on his lips, asking for permission, which he granted, letting our tongues involve in each other. Slowly, I lied on the grass and he put himself on top of me. His hands were now on my legs and mine on his back.

He started to kiss my neck, biting it and sucking it, making me almost moan, which I think gave him satisfaction.

His hands were going up, and he stopped at my crotch.

He unzipped my pants, revealing my huge boner. He looked at it, then at me and smiled.

"Do you want me to…?" He asked, pointing to my dick.

"Here?"

"Don't worry, baby. We won't get caught." He answered, taking my boxers off.

"Hey this isn't fair. You're totally dressed!" I protested.

He giggled and took off his shirt, revealing his tattooed chest and back.

"Fucking hell! You're fucking hot!"

I found it weird the fact of him having so many tattoos already, since we were both 17.

He got down and started to lick the tip of my hardened member, teasing me.

"Just fucking do it! Fucking tease!"

He put it in his mouth and started to pump up and down with his lips, first slowly, but soon he got faster and faster.

I was moaning his name, between curses, and I was doing it louder each time.

"Fr- Frank! I'm. going. To. Cu-" I had no time to end the sentence. My cum was already in his mouth. He just swallowed it.

I put my boxers and my pants on again and he lied down on my chest.

"Not fair! Now I'm the one who's shirtless and you're completely dressed!"

"Fine! I take my shirt off too." I said, while taking my t-shirt.

"Yay!" he yelled, and giggled "Hey Gee?"

"Hum?"

"I love you."

I just stared at him, not knowing what to say.

"I know I sound a little precipitated, but it's true. I now know the right thing is to be with you. I don't want to be with any other girl… I only want to be with you and to be proud to say you're my boyfriend!"

Boyfriend? Would I be willing to forget those acts of bullying that he made me pass? How could I know that he wasn't using me?

No! This was a new Frank. He changed. I felt like I could trust him and that he truly loved me.

I kissed him, before saying "Hello, boyfriend" with a smile on my face.

He smiled, kissed me back and lied down on my chest, again.

Then we just stayed there, in the lawn, cuddling.

"Have you noticed that is already night?"

"Yeah… We should go back to the mansion, shouldn´t we?"

He stood up, dressed up and gave me my t-shirt that was near my feet. Then he helped me to stand up and, entwining his fingers in mine, we disappeared from those woods, coming back to the mansion.

"I'm so hungry! What about we go to the kitchen?"

He accepted and, still holding hands, we went to the kitchen.

I felt so many looks upon us, but that didn't make me low my head or let go of his hand. On the contrary, I gave a look that said "Yes, he is my boyfriend. Do you have any problem with that?"

Then I looked again to Frank and he had the most beautiful smile that I ever saw.

When we finished eating, we went to the living room to find Mikey, Ray, Bob and Pedicone.

"I knew it! I want my money back Bob! I won the bet!" said Mikey when they saw us.

"You made a bet about us?" I asked him, a little bit indignant.

He nodded excitedly, showing no shame "I knew it was only a matter of time before you two started dating! I saw in your eyes that you're crazy for each other. But these guys didn't believe me…"

I hit him in his head "You´re a child!" and I laughed.

"You have to be careful, those guys don´t stop talking about you two. I can hear them" whispered Bob.

"I can be small, but I can kick some serious asses! I already did it several times, on my popular times." Frank said, quite proud.

My smile faded and I looked down.

"Sorry… I wasn't talking about you honey…"

"I'm tired… I'm going to my room…"

I got up and went to my room. He was already there.

"I'm so sorry I mentioned that… You know I regret all those years I bullied you, don't you?"

"I know that Frank. But this isn't just about me, can't you see that? I just don't like that bully and aggressive attitude of yours… I fell in love for this cute and nice boy who once was pretty different. I know you've changed. But there's some things that aren't changed easily and you have something within you, something really dark that you can't control yet."

He looked to his feet and said in a low tone "You know, to love someone you have to love their good side, but also the bad one. I did that for you and I was hoping you did the same…"

I gave him a little peck and said "I can help you Frank. I'm here for the better and for the worst. I will never leave you. I love you." I felt good saying those three final words. Like he said before, it was right being with him.

"I love you too." He replied, smiling shyly and yawning.

I got up and pulled my bed until it was attached to his.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

There are no reasons for our beds to be split up, now is it?"

Then I got into the bed and he did the same, so I laid my head in his chest, which was now bare.

"You're gorgeous. I'm super in love with you. Sleep well sugar."

"You too." He answered, kissing the top of my head.

When I woke up, he was still asleep. I got up and went to a corner of the room. I closed my eyes and took a few deep breaths. When I opened them and looked in the mirror, I didn't see my reflection. I made it. I could finally control my power.

I want to thank Dannie for doing the grammar checking and Marta, for helping me doing the translation from Portuguese. I also want to thank to the readers. You make this happen. You give me more excitement to write this fic.
