Chapter 7 – Happy ever after?

The rest of that weekend was so awkward for the boys, knowing that the family knew about them that for once they were quite releived to be going back to school on Monday.
‘See you at lunch?’ Wyatt asked as they left the car and walked towards the school building. ‘Sure, see you later’ Chris replied as the went their separate ways to class.

Wyatt didn’t normally join Chris for lunch, they had their own groups of friends and saw each other at home so they rarely felt the need to spend lunch times together during the week. Lately though Wyatt had been growing incrasingly bored with his dumb jock mates and wanted to spend more time with Chris, even if it was in public.

As Wyatt walked into the cafeteria he instantly spotted Chris at a table with a couple of guys he vaguely recognised as Chris’s friends. The guy to Chris’s right was leaning close to Chris and talking to him he noticed. Wyatt watched them as he waited in the queue and observed the body language of the guy talking to Chris and to Wyatt it was soon painfully obvious that the guy was flirting with him. Wyatt was distracted by finally being served at the counter and when he turned back to make his way over to Chris he noticed the guy was STILL too close to Chris for Wyatt’s liking ‘Hi’ said Wyatt gruffly as he sat down opposite Chris, pointedly glaring at the guy.on his left (Chris’s right) then turning to smile at Chris. After this unceremonius entrance the conversation was a bit tense and awkward, even between the brothers. This wasn’t helped by the almost constant dirty looks Wyatt kept giving them.

After spending the afternoon stewing on this Chris didn’t feel like talking to Wyatt on the way home. What was his problem anyway? As for Wyatt, he was still angry that the guy had the gall to flirt with Chris and in front of him no less and more to the point that Chris hadn’t said or done a thing to stop him.

With Wyatt up in their room studying and Chris downstairs helping Piper with dinner then demon-info searching again the boys didn’t really talk until bedtime.

When Chris entered the bedroom Wyatt was sitting at the desk with his books open but he was staring into space rather than absorbed in the books. Chris sat on his bed and began to take his trainers off. ‘So are you gonna tell me what’s got you in such a fowl mood?’ he asked. ‘Like you don’t know’ Wyatt snapped back Chris tried to reach out with his empathy but felt Wyatt blocking him, he tried the telepathy ‘if I knew would I be asking?’ he said softly. Wyatt never snapped at him like this, what was going on?

This obviously broke through as Wyatt practicly gowled ‘That guy at lunch.’ Chris looked confused, ‘Mike? What about him?’ Chris asked even more confused now, what did Mike have to do with this? ‘Is that his name? The prick who was flirting with you all of lunch time/’
‘Flirting? What?’ Chris spluttered in shock ‘he’s just a friend, and besides I don’t even think he’s gay’ he finished dismissivly; continuing to undress.

‘Don’t tell me you can’t recognise flirting wben you see it, I thought you were smarter than that Chris, I could see it from across the room.’ Wyatt said angrily standing up and pacing the room, gesticulating with his hands for emphasis as he spoke.
‘We were just talking Wyatt, you didn’t have to be so rude to him and the other guys’
‘Rude’ Wyatt weeled round, turning on Chris ‘he was flirting with you Chris, right in front of me, how am I supposed to react to that?’ Chris stood up to face him ‘I don’t know Wyatt, maybe you should just take it as a compliment to your good taste.’ Chris as ever resorted to humour in self defense. ‘I’m not kidding Chris’ Wyatt snapped, stopping his pacing in front of him. ‘Neither am I Wyatt’ Chris responded firmly ‘you have nothing to worry about, honestly, do you not trust me or something? He continued his voice betraying the hurt his brothers lack of trust caused him.

‘Of course I trust you Chris, it’s just.. the thought of you with anyone else just makes me so mad.’ Wyatt tried to calm himself down and explain. ‘But I’m not with anyone else, am I? I’m with you and that’s the way it’s gonna stay Chris replied as he stepped closer to Wyatt ‘though after this little jelousy fit, I might need reminding why’ he teased, running a hand up Wyatt’s chest. Wyatt’s blue eyes darkened and his voice held an almost dangerous edge as he said ‘really?’ and before Chris could respond Wyatt pulled him into him and captured his lips in a violent and posessive kiss.

After a few seconds the kiss became so intense both their knees became weak and they sank to the floor in each other’s arms.
