Search and Rescue

Two weeks later
Student Dorms

'Are you a gosiado or a axpajo, Dom?' Trystan asked with annoyance in his voice.
'Aww you want to be my partner now?'
'Like hell I do. Every time I try to hang out with someone other than you, you force yourself in. Hell I can't even sleep soundly anymore for fear of you barging in on me and Felix. You always had other friends besides me. Why can't I have friends besides you? That's why, if you continue this, I won't hesitate to make it so you'd be ashamed to have a partner.'
Just then Trystan felt his arm caught in a vice grip. 'There you are, you little brat!' It was a shrill voice that spoke. 'We've been searching for you! And here you are gallivanting around with pedophiles and whores! You probably are even whoring yourself out!'
With his free hand Trystan slapped the woman. 'Oops. My bad. My hand slipped.'
'You little--'
Out of nowhere, Felix appeared. 'Hey, babe.' He grabbed Trystan's hand, pried him from the woman's grip, and pulled him in for a sloppy kiss. 'I didn't think you'd introduce me to your mother so soon.' He then whispered in Trys' ear, 'Play along. Also, security is on the way.'
Trystan laid it on thick, rubbing a hand against Felix's chest. 'She couldn't wait to meet the man who has her son wrapped around his finger.'
'Ugh, you two are as gross as ever. I'll see you in a few days. Have a good weekend.' Dominic grumbled as he left the dorms.
'You gave up on the movie?' Felix asked giving him a look that said not to leave yet.
But before anyone could say anything else, Trystan's mother boiled over! 'You are sick! I am getting you out of here and calling a doctor to cure you!'
'You aren't taking me anywhere. I'm staying here with my boyfriend, and my friends and the people that actually treat me like family. So fuck off.'
Felix smiled lovingly and proudly at Trystan. 'It was a pleasure to meet you ma'am.'
The security guard was a man wearing a lab coat, glasses, and had teal green hair. 'Dammit… that brat calling me all the way out here to kick out a lousy bitch and her jackass husband? I hate my role as guardian sometimes.' He placed a hand on the woman's shoulder. 'You are not allowed within 3 miles of this district or anyone on good terms with your son.' With that she flew out of the building.
'Thank you sir,' Trystan said with a bow.
'Just make sure I don't get called back on your account. It's a long way here.'
Dom said, 'Did you come all the way from Earth quarter?'
'Yes.'
'Why?' Felix asked.
Just then the two bird gods approached. The raven, who Trystan learned was called Hiroki, examined all three of them, while Shiro lept on the guardian's back. 'Juni!!! I missed you big bro!'
'You're older idiot. And don't call me for jobs you can do yourself.'
'But as you can see, anyone can get in! Can you put up some sort of shield or something?'
'Ugh… why is this particular district so important to you? You have it almost on same importance level as Oathfell.'
Hiroki decided to escort Felix and Trystan to their room, and ordered Dom to find a place to rest for the night.
Once the kids were gone, Shiro sighed. 'Because -- um… the people in charge of this place are important to the five of us.'
'Shiro… You look at me as a big brother, a guardian, advisor. You can tell me what you are hiding. Is it because you are gay too?'
'No!!!! I told you a thousand times that's not it!'
'You are really going to have to try harder to convince the family you're straight.'
'Juni -- just set up the perimeter please.'
'Fine. But this is the last time I do this sort of favor when you can't tell me the reason. I am not going to come running from the Earth Quarter next time.'
Shiro smiled, 'Don't fret, we'll be back in Earth Quarter in a couple of weeks anyway.'
'Ugh that's not what I meant.'
******************************************************
'Have a good night boys!'
As soon as Hiroki left, Felix grumbled, 'He ruined the mood we had going…'
Trystan smirked slightly, 'You make it sound like you planned on stealing my first time too.'
'You're the one who touched my chest knowing it's a weak spot.'
'You gave me a slutty kiss… call us even.'
'Yes, but kissing the way we did takes two consenting parties… so really you're one up on me.'
'Fine, what would make us even?'
Felix pursed his lips. 'I get to ask you some heavy questions?'
'Fine.'
'You keep telling me it is not my fault you ran away from home, or that you were outed. But I find it hard to believe since I am the one who bullied you.'
Trystan sighed and folded his hands behind his head as he laid back on his bed. 'You aren't the only one who bullied me. And you aren't even the worst.'
Felix looked sadly at Trystan. 'Tani, that makes me feel worse. I am so sorry that I am one of many who tormented you.'
'Stop feeling guilty. It was a task forced into you. You are just as much a victim.' He then said, 'The more I think about it, the more I am inclined to think it was a well-meaning teacher.'
'Really?'
'Yeah. There are straights who are compassionate even toward us, you know.'
'I know. I'm just trying to imagine how you being gay would come up.'
'Well the students always were vocal about the reasons they bullied me. I doubt that it would go unnoticed by teachers.'
Felix pursed his lips and then changed the subject. 'When did you realize you were gay?'
'Elementary school.'
'Seriously?'
'Mmhmm.'
'Tell me the story.'
'Eh it was this middle schooler. I was a tagalong with him to all his activities. He was so nice to me and never complained about it. I was an idiot though. I eventually confessed that I had a major crush on him when I entered middle school.'
'What happened?'
'He seriously said, 'Oh. Okay.' That was it.'
'What?! So then what happened?'
'His friends abandoned him for being friends with a gay kid. He managed to get by though. He is in college now, and from what I hear made a lot of new friends who don't care he had a gay friend growing up.'
'And I thought Dominic was your only friend!'
'So tell me when you figured it out?'
'Uh…' Felix blushed. 'The first time I saw you.'
'What?! How did that happen!'
'You were out with your parents at a restaurant. We were two tables away. I looked over at was amazed that a water creature could be so sexy. Sadly, it was the next day I was forced to start bullying you.'
Trystan crawled over to Felix's bed and held him in his arms. 'That's terrible! The moment you learn your orientation to have adults force you to go against them.'
'You are too kind for your own good. You also realize I told you pretty much that you were my first crush, right?'
'Yup. And I am honestly excited by that fact.'
'Define excited.'
'Next question.'
'Brat! Fine. Who was your first kiss.'
'You.'
'What?!'
'Tonight was my first kiss.'
Felix laughed and said, 'That's a little out of order. We've seen each other's dicks, jacked each other off, all before we had our first kisses?'
'Are you telling me that was yours too?'
'Mhm.'
'How the fuck are you so good at it then?'
'Porn is very educational.'
'Pervert.'
'Says the guy who told me to jack off in front of him the first morning we were together.'
'Okay… so I am a pervert too… Next question.'
'Wanna fuck?'
'Su--' Just then the door opened. 'Dammit Dom! I said I would--'
'I just came by to tell you about the Principal being fired. I just overheard Mama talking about it.'
'You mean the principal at your dumbass school you insist on attending even though they hate us?' Felix grumbled.
'Uh yeah. And I can't just leave!'
'Whatever Dom, go away.' Trystan grumbled returning to his bed and pulling up the blanket over his head.
Felix did the same, and once Dom left, both rubbed one out quietly.
