"It's weird that some guys are so feminine that they look more elegant than girls, don't you think? - the sudden question of a friend brought out of his stupor a dreaming classmate in the corridor.
"What are you talking about, Riuly?"- Daniel turned his to him with expression of incomprehension.
"You can't take your eyes off Eliot! Is that how you like him?"
"I'm just looking at how popular he is. A lot of girls around chirp in front of him and hope for something."
"Do you think he's gay? According to rumors, not one of chicks wasn't under him, otherwise everyone would know."
"And why are you so concerned about it?"
"Well… if he's one of those gentle bottoms, then I want to try with him. Someone said that kind of sex has its advantages…"
"What advantages?" - Daniel smirked.
"You know ... more thrills in the process... so they say..." - muttered Riuly.
"And who told you this?"
"Nobody... read about it somewhere and watched a video... just out of curiosity!"
"Hmm… I didn't expect to hear that from you at all."
"Come on, Dan… Look on his expressive eyes… And he is such a pretty ... slim, doll-like face. Cutest than all the girls in school! Provoking!"
"I'll break your legs if you get closer to him," - Daniel said angrily, placing his fist under mate's nose.
"Hush-hush! Why got angry? You should have said that you want him yourself, - Riuly chuckled. - There is nothing to be ashamed of! Oh, he looked back at us ... His eyes! Did he sense our interest?"
"Shut up or change the topic!"
Daniel greatly disliked that his friend frankly admitted the same desires for Eliot, and most likely, someone else would claim such offers. How to protect him from everyone, so that they would not even dare to think about such a possibility? It is not easy for him to convince him to become a partner for life.
"Why are you both staring at me like that?" - Eliot asked him later on a walk after class.
"Riuly guessed that something is going on between us," - Dany said sadly, touching Eliot's palm with his fingers. - "Is it so obvious?"
"Oh, may be… You court me and made a proposal. That's what you did tell him?"
"I promised to break his legs if he starts pestering you."
"Ha! Well, actually… - Elliot grinned. - There is only a too close friendship between us. Even though it's not enough for you."
"I am determined for our happy future and will not let anyone take you away."
"Yes, there is no one to take away me!"
"Wait some more! The girls are crazy about you. Has anyone already made friends?"
"Yes… but I said them that I don't think about relationships that will interfere with my studies yet."
"They are waiting for you to become mature, but it's hard for me to restrain myself."
Daniel quickly shoved him into the back seat of his car in the parking and snuggled up to him with long, deep kisses, gently massaging between his legs.
"Stop doing this here!" - His hand was flung to the side in annoyance.
"A-ah-hah! Touch-me-not! It's nice! You refuse to go to my house ... You would relax there in full. We would swim together in the pool, warm ourselves in the sauna. I so want to share with you the pleasant moments ..."
"That's tempting... but your mother and sister... are looking at me so badly, to say the least. Apparently they can't stand me. It turns out that your parents did not allow you our deep connection."
"Honey… why do I need their permission? - Daniel murmured languidly. - Most likely, in a couple of years, you and I will move away from here so that others don't gossip about us."
"But I don't want to move far away from my parents. You decided everything for me, without consulting. And I did not agree to the marriage. All this at your whim."
"My sweet, if you don't need a relationship with anyone, then it's better to accept the offer of someone who adores you and is able to provide for a prosperous life, - Dani caressed him kissing Eliot's thin fingers. - You will be able to make art, arrange exhibitions with the sale of paintings without any problems. Just be always mine and don't leave me."
"Still… I don't understand why you chose me as your lover for life? You are so young to be sure of those feelings that are usually tested over the years. Your obsession with me is like a disease."
"I can't tell you why, - Daniel shook his head mockingly. - It's too weird."
"And you try!"
"I have been watching you for several years, and only recently I felt that I knew you before. Your catching eyes have been dreaming of me since childhood and I thought that it is my Guard who appeared to me for support, but one day you looked at me so expressively and I recognized Him in you."
"Him? The Guardian? This role does not suit me. After all, you are my protector."
"Right! I'm physically stronger than you. So… you are my inspiration indeed!"
"If that were the case, why am I not in female form? That would be more correct."
"Are you saying again that our relationship is not normal because of being of the same sex? But … you didn't choose a girl for yourself. Because you don't need her. You are self sufficient! You shine in all directions, like an eternal luminary. And I need your light for a successful path through all my life."
"Oh Gods! - Eliot sighed deeply. - You and I have gone too far with poetry. Athletes are really so romantic?"
"Are you putting me down again? I have always been a romantic, by the way, and not a cynic, as is often thought of me."
"I'm sorry… I have to back. Better take me home before my mom starts worrying about me."
Despite the fact that Eliot always refused to him with intimacy, Daniel was not upset at all: he continued to cherish their fragile relationship with a slight grin and every personal meeting in the car made him immensely happy.
