Black and White episode 3. (MM, fantasy, rom)
***
Author's Note: Hey everyone! Back here with the third
episode. This one took a lot of time to write, and it
is a lengthy one. Just hope you all enjoy it.
***
Episode 3
In the Kingdom of Light, far away from the material
plane, White opened his eyes awakening from a deep
slumber. He was immediately surprised at the form of a
woman angel bending over his body as he lay. Frigeria
was still there? How long had she been there healing
him?
The beautiful form of the raven haired angel turned her
attention towards her Emperor. "Finally the white angel
Witenhoem rises." Her voice reverberated as the tinker
of muted bells across the chamber in which White lay.
"Frigeria, how long have you been healing me?" White
was slowly trying to raise himself and Frigeria helped
him in the task. His colossal wings opened up as he sat
upright. He still felt enervated, but all the pain had
vanished. There was no longer a single bruise on his
body.
"I have been healing you but two nights. The wounds of
battle you possessed were of a draconian nature."
"Yes," White grunted as he sat himself upright. "I was
led into a battle with a small child; the kind that was
the son of the devil himself."
Frigeria nodded her head in understanding. "So it was
Pi that you fought. I reckoned as much when you
appeared and collapsed onto your throne. My fear knew
no bounds when I saw the injuries you bore and the icy
shards embedded deep within you. Even your wings were
torn and ragged. I almost thought that we had lost our
ruler!"
White smiled at the worry expressed by the greatest
healer in the Kingdom of Light. "Fear not Frigeria, it
will take more than a chimerical creature to conquer
me. I returned to you with wounds of a draconian nature
you say, Pi did not return to the Kingdom of Void at
all."
"So he was defeated." Frigeria took a deep breath
absorbing the news.
"Defeated and destroyed."
"And yet, the involvement of Pi suggests that the
Empress herself is involved in this matter of the
Alchemist."
"Indeed it does, all the more reason for me to hasten
and reach the Alchemist."
~~~
In the Kingdom of Void also far away from the material
plane, another angel albeit a dark one, was crouched in
reverence under his ruler. The undersized ruler shook
her head from side to side, her golden yellow tresses,
which reached all the way to the ground, swaying as she
did.
"He is not yet ready," she stated. "The alchemist will
not lend us the use of his powers in his current
state."
The doughty black angel lifted his gaze to meet the
eyes of his mistress.
"And in fact," the Empress continued, "It might be
quite some time before the Alchemist will be prepared.
You Arangyunus, will have to keep wooing him till he
reaches that stage."
Black nodded understandingly. This task was proving to
be diabolically difficult. The dark Seraph had been
putting in all his efforts for four continuous days and
the mistress only stated that converting the Alchemist
would take much more time. Black had been constantly
endeavoring, and in the process had lost himself
several times, lost his finesse and he was feeling like
he was losing himself now. He felt as if the young boy
was gradually pulling the ground from beneath him
rather than the other way round.
But this was no time to founder, and certainly not the
time to possess a weak mind. The most important task he
had ever been bestowed was upon him, and he would have
to complete it consummately.
"I understand," The dark seraph finally whispered back.
"Slowly poison his mind. Seduce every pore of him.
Completely overwhelm him with yourself. And when he is
ready to do any task you ask of him, it is then that he
will be ready." Having lost her pet, the Empress was
more determined than ever to thrall the Alchemist. The
Alchemist would grant her the ability to extirpate all
her enemies, and one in particular; one that would
allow her to exact sweet revenge for the death of her
pet, and revenge for a matter that went far deeper into
time, one that very few knew of. White would suffer for
his chicanery.
Black nodded once more accepting his orders.
"Empress, where is Pi. It had been some time since I
have seen the chimera." Black had never been fond of
the fanciful creature himself but was used to its
sessile presence with his mistress. It was strange that
the past few times he had visited the Empress in the
Kingdom of Void, there had been no signs of her pet.
The little lass steeled herself. She would not inform
Arangyunus that her pet had been defeated. Annihilated
by the hands of her adversary. Destroyed by White while
her own guardian frolicked with the alchemist. Black
would not know of this.
"I have sent him on a task to the dark glaciers of
Void. I am afraid it will be some time before he
returns."
Black acknowledged the fact and raised himself. It was
time to go back to the material plane. Time to return
to the boy who was so infatuated with him but was still
not ready to do as he desired. Back to the boy that he
had been seducing. The same boy who now sometimes
scared him.
~~~
Aiden was a little nervous while entering his class. He
ran a hand through his hair for the umpteenth time.
Aiden had gotten his hair styled for the first time in
21 years of his life. He had finally gathered the
courage and reasoning to change his hair. He had gone
from shaggy uncombed disheveled to sleek middle-parted
hair. He was unsure whether of what others would think
when they saw it. But he had liked it when he saw
himself in the mirror for the first time. And now his
fellow engineers were going to see it for the first
time.
Aiden took a deep breath and entered the lecture hall
through the front door. The crowd was boisterous as
usual, as they would be when no lecturer had yet
entered the class, and a few took notice of Aiden's
changed comport. Aiden looked across to where he
normally sat on the last row with Dominic and Storm.
Yup, they were there as usual, seemingly engrossed in
some type of an argument. Aiden made his way towards
them as someone commented how weird he looked in his
new hairstyle.
Dominic had been the center of Aiden's universe for
more than two years, in fact ever since he had entered
the university. According to Aiden, Dominic was a
persevering, extremely good natured person who always
tried to keep everyone around him happy. Dominic was
smart when the situation demanded him to be, he was
sincere and basically the embodiment of Aiden's ideal.
He studied hard, involved himself in a million college
activities and organizations and was always busy. He
was good looking with his West European aristocratic
face and though Aiden knew that there were at least 3-4
other guys in class that looked better than Dominic, he
would never place them in the same category. Dominic
possessed an athletic built that gave the impression
that he worked out and played a lot of sports. Aiden
knew otherwise, the guy would not touch a sport if his
life depended on it.
The other one of his close friends was Storm McDonald.
True to his name, Storm could eat up a storm anytime he
wanted. With his 6'4" frame and weighing more than 290
pounds, Storm was everyone's teddy bear. But Storm was
hardly lazy and sluggish. He was energetic, hard-
working and sincere, the kind Aiden always associated
with. Storm, Dominic and Aiden always sat together on
the last row and were called the beavers of the class
because of their industrious natures.
Aiden came over to Dominic and Storm as the two looked
up. Both got a puzzled expression on their faces seeing
him.
"Hey, wadyou do to you hair? You look like a clown!"
"Thanx Randy." Aiden sneered at the commentator feeling
a little let down.
"Hey cool!" It was Dominic this time. "That style looks
good on you!"
Aiden immediately felt a lot better. Dominic had said
it looked good and that overwrote what everyone else
had to say, well almost everyone. He still had to show
Will his new hairdo.
Aiden settled in next to Dominic and Storm as the
professor entered the class.
Dominic asked in hushed tones. "Where you been lately,
I don't see you at all nowadays?"
Aiden had been spending all his free time with Will who
somehow always had time when Aiden had free time. In
fact he was sure that he was going to have trouble
staying awake in class owing to the overnight workouts
he was having with Will.
Just then Aiden's phone buzzed on silent mode. He
looked at it to find a message from Will. 'MISSING U.
WANNA B WITH U' it read. Aiden felt a surge of joy
within him. He wanted to scream out loud and tell
Dominic and everyone in the whole damn university that
he was in love with the most amazing person on the
planet. The hottest hunk with an awesome personality
and heart. He wanted to tell Dominic about his
sexuality, about being in love with him for so long and
then meeting the most awesome person on the planet;
Will. He somehow felt that Dominic would be happy for
him. But Aiden knew he did not have the guts to blurt
all that out.
"Just busy." He whispered back.
Aiden adjusted himself and concentrated on the lecture
being delivered ahead of him. Soon his eyelids became
heavy and he started slumping down in his seat. Dominic
nudged at him and finally started glaring at him after
3 attempts to wake Aiden up after which Aiden had
promptly dozed off again. Between his nightly marathons
with Will, his college lectures and the sports time he
spent with his roommates, Aiden was having a hard time
covering his shut-eye time needs.
"What the fuck are you so sleepy for?" Dominic burst
out at him once the professor had left. "You know that
was our HOD's lecture and he saw you sleeping! You're
lucky our HOD is of such a great nature. He did not
take any punitive measures against you!"
Aiden smiled back sheepishly and said sorry. He felt
guilty for sleeping during class, the professor being
amongst the only ones he actually liked. He would have
to catch up on sleep somehow or he was going to be in
bad shape.
"Ok listen sleepyhead," Dominic began, "We are
assembling a robot for the upcoming TechFest. You
interested in joining the team?"
Aiden knew he hardly had time these days, but it was
Dominic asking.
"Yeah Sure! Who else is on the team?"
"Me, you and Mr. hyperactive here," Storm interrupted,
referring to Dominic as the hyperactive dude.
"So we are going to an electronics specialist who'll
give us pointers for a few days and help us get
started. We'll meet him for our first meeting tomorrow
evening at 6." Dominic already had everything planned
out.
"At 6?" Aiden raised his eye brows and folded his arms
across his chest. He realized his time with Will would
be choked if the consultation were to materialize and
occur everyday.
Dominic sat on top of their table and huffed. "Yeah,
after college, at 6. Every day at 6 till the TechFest."
Aiden immediately understood that the robotics deal was
something time-consuming that he had involved himself
in; something that would last quite a while. He
wondered how he would keep his commitments and still
meet up with Will daily. All he felt like doing right
now was to get into bed with Will and spend the
remainder of his life there.
"You guys coming to the cafeteria. I wanna grab a bite
to eat." It was Storm rubbing his tummy.
"Shit!" Aiden exclaimed. "I have to meet Tinka there.
Almost forgot. She'll kill me if I don't reach there on
time!"
The three headed towards the cafeteria, Aiden rushing
them along. On reaching there he immediately left the
other two and headed towards what was commonly referred
to as the 'Archi area' by architecture students or 'The
big mess' by others. A section of the cafeteria that
was always bustling with architecture and interior
designing related students. Tables overpiled with A3
sheets, 32 inch folders and .1 mm microtip pens. The
Architecture students stubbornly refused to complete
their work elsewhere, much to the chagrin of the mess
in charge; he had given up on getting them to do their
work elsewhere leaving hat sectin of the cafeteria a
sight to behold on submission days.
Tinka was furiously inking sheets as Aiden hurried over
to her. She had 'commanded' him to meet her and help
her complete her work before the submission.
"You're 7 minutes late!" she growled and then paused to
take a better look at him. "Omigod! What did you do to
your hair?!"
"Howzzit look?" Aiden beamed and waited for her
response.
"Looks cool! How did you get it into you to... Oh so
Will is having this influence on you?"
"No of course not. I was planning all along to..."
Aiden paused to look at Tinka looking at him with a
'yeah-rite' look, tapping her foot on the ground. "Yes
he is." Aiden finally admitted sheepishly.
"It really suits you. You look all cute and all with
that hairdo."
"It better look good for the amount of time and money I
put into it." Aiden muttered. "That bloody hair dresser
put some burning cream in my hair to straighten it and
kept me there for 3 hours. Never had such a lengthy
haircut in my life."
"Ok, stop goofing around and grab those pencil colors.
Start scribbling in these tiles in this manner." Tinka
pointed him towards the sheets that were overflowing
from all sides of the table. "And be neat," she added
menacingly.
Aiden mock saluted her, "Yes Sir!" and hastily got down
to coloring the floor in the weird mosaic pattern Tinka
wanted it in.
"How come I am the only non-Archi student that has to
do Archi work?" Aiden grumbled after 2 minutes of
frantic penciling. All around were frenzied
architecture students trying to complete their sheets,.
He glanced at the patched he had colored and groaned as
he saw the vast expanse left. This was going to be one
hell of a task.
"Cause you are the only boy from the engineering side
who bears some semblance to a person who can draw and
color." Tinka answered.
"So you get to be all your colleagues' envy for having
additional help from outside, and all I get is ink
stains and pencil marks on myself?"
"You also get my brilliant company!" Tinka replied bend
over her work still busy limning straight lines with
her T-square.
"Yeah rite!"
"So did you collect your contacts from that eye-shop?"
Tinka was referring to the contact lenses that Aiden
had recently ordered.
"Nope. Will do it tomorrow. Have my first half free
tomorrow," Aiden replied finishing a green patch and
looking satisfactorily at it. His mind immediately
thought about how similar Will's eyes were to the shade
he was using.
"So new hairdo, getting rid of spectacles, getting
contacts and that glow on your face. Will sure seems
good for you."
Aiden stopped coloring and placed his pencil on the
sheet. He waited till Tinka looked up at him. "He's
perfect!" he stated triumphantly.
"He's just too great, forget the fact he looks ultra-
hot. He's always so sweet and caring. And he always
spends an enormous amount of time with me but still
leaves me enough time to get all my academic work
done."
Tinka stopped her inking and stood upright smiling,
waiting for Aiden to finish.
"And the sex rocks!" Aiden added.
"He is remarkable." Tinka finally answered and took a
deep breath before adding the next bit; "Isn't he a bit
too perfect?"
Aiden was taken aback. Was Tinka stating that Will was
too good for him, way above his league? Was she saying
he had hidden vices? He knew Tinka would be happy as
long as he was happy. Maybe it was just her way of
asking him if he was not telling her something. Aiden
opened his mouth to answer when his cellphone buzzed in
his pocket.
Aiden fished out the set from his pocket to find
another message from Will. 'MISS U LIKE CRAZY. U BETTER
BE FREE IN THE EVENING.'
Aiden instantly forgot all of Tinka's worries as he
flashed his cellphone showed her the message and
started thumbing his keypad to send Will a reply. Tinka
smiled at an effervescent Aiden, hoping things turned
out perfect between Will and Aiden.
~~~
White stood atop a building as the sun was setting. So
he had finally found the Alchemist. He looked down to
where he could see an unassuming lad dressed in blue
jeans and an orange sweatshirt leaning against a wall,
apparently waiting for someone. So this boy was the
Alchemist. And he had finally found him. The moment had
come. But now he no longer felt nervous at having to
accost the Alchemist. It was because he was not going
to.
Instead he was going to ask the Alchemist for help
without the boy knowing he had done it. He would enter
the boy's mind and search for the answers to all his
questions, searching through his beliefs. He would dive
in and scour his mind and ultimately get the answer he
was seeking; would the Alchemist lend the Kingdom of
Light his powers or not. And it would take all of 5
seconds. He would have his answer and the alchemist
would never catch a glimpse of him as well.
White braced himself and concentrated for plunging into
the boys mind. The next instant, his mind was in.
Zooming across the thoughts and desires, through
beliefs and faiths, through secrets and sorrows,
seeking only the answers to the questions he had in
mind. Zig-zagging through the meandering reflections,
the welter of labyrinthine thoughts. Seeking his
answers through the kaleidoscopical human mind. And
seconds later he exited forcefully, his consciousness
back inside his own mind.
White had received his answer. The Alchemist had
refused to help.
~~~
Aiden had arrived at the coffee shop he was supposed to
meet Will at. Whenever he would plan to meet up at a
certain time, Will would always already be there
waiting for him. Being extremely punctual by nature
himself, Aiden had admired this quality in Will but
then felt guilty that he himself would be the one to
arrive late. This time Aiden turned up earlier than the
set time and was waiting for Will outside the coffee
shop. The same coffee shop that they had been to on the
first night they had met.
Aiden noticed the arrival of the black Lamborghini that
signified Will's entry. Yup, Will was there before time
but Aiden had beaten him. He knew it would be a minute
or so till Will parked his car and came up to him. He
smiled with anticipation; he could barely wait to see
his lover again.
Suddenly Aiden witnessed an excruciating strain. He
felt dizzy as a million thoughts ran through his head.
Aiden lost all control and staggered unsteadily bracing
himself against the wall for support. And just as
abruptly as it had started, the strain was gone. Aiden
steadied himself wondering what the hell had happened.
"Ade, relax buddy what's wrong?" It was Will who had
come rushing to Aiden's side as he had seen Aiden
suddenly look dizzy and start swaying about.
"I... I don't know." Aiden finally managed to squeak
out. He felt as if he had just spent 20 straight hours
preparing for his Microprocessors exam. He wiped a
trail of drool from his mouth with the back of his hand
"You Ok? What happened?" Aiden saw Will's expression of
care and worry and his uneasiness dissipated.
"Yup, perfectly fine!" Aiden smiled and straightened
himself. He still felt a little mentally exhausted.
"Should I take you to my place or something?"
Aiden looked into Will's eyes. Will had on a black
leather jacket, a bit like the biker kind. His chest
definition was visible through the thin white T-shirt
he had on under. Aiden thought he looked ravishing. He
could feel his hormones surging at the sight of Will.
"One quick coffee and we're outta here" he thought
"No, no. Just felt a little dizzy suddenly. It's gone
now; am fine now. Let's just go and have some coffee"
"Your hairdo looks great." Will suddenly chimed in.
Aiden blushed. Will liked his hair makeover. The entire
haircut investment was worth it now
Aiden grabbed Will's hand and led him inside the coffee
shop wondering what had transpired a few moments ago.
He had no clue that a powerful Perpetual had entered
his mind and had rummaged it to find answers to his
many questions. He had no clue that he had in fact
subconsciously denied lending his help to this
Perpetual.
Aiden entered the coffee shop and immediately let go of
Will's hand when he noticed who was sitting inside. It
was Aditi, the Indian girl Jason had had the hots for.
And sure enough, Jason sat opposite her with his back
to the entrance. Aiden would recognize the red Nike cap
anywhere. So Jason had hooked up with Aditi after all.
And it was a wonder that Jason was sacrificing his
'sports time' to be with this girl.
Aditi noticed the two and waved to them. 'More to Will
than to me' Aiden thought. He frowned thinking his time
with Will would get a little spoiled. But then it would
give him a chance to spend some time with Jason as he
had hardly done so in the past few days. Aiden guided
Will towards the pair. Jason upon noticing Aiden's
arrival immediately raised his hand in a high five; his
standard greeting.
"Hey wazzzup?" Jason was all smiles as Aiden high-fived
him. Jason paused and creased his brow taking a closer
look at Aiden. "What the hell did you do to your hair?"
"Just something a bit different." Jason then glanced
curiously at Will.
"Hey Aditi, this is Will. Will these are my friends."
Will greeted the two warmly. Aiden was a little annoyed
to find Aditi saying 'hi' to Will in a prolonged
seductive manner.
"So should we sit down and interrupt you two?" Will
asked.
"Sure." Aditi answered before Jason could say anything.
"Just join us."
Will and Aiden sat opposite each other with Jason and
Aditi on either side of them. Aiden would have much
preferred sitting next to Will on the comfy sofas the
place offered. Looked like this would have to do for
now.
"So Will," Aditi started, "What do you do?"
"I run a retirement home," Will continued as Aditi
raised her eye brows at his reply. "It's called the Joe
Black retirement home, just off shore towards the
pier."
"Cool and how do the two of you know each other?" she
asked swishing her manicured finger between Aiden and
Will.
"He's just a friend," Aiden blurted out but the girl
paid him no attention. She was waiting for Will's
reply. Aiden looked at Aditi busy eyeing Will and felt
a tinge of jealousy. Aditi continued asking Will
questions, trying to keep his entire attention. It was
then that Aiden noticed Will. Will was looking straight
at him while he answered Aditi, not taking his gaze
away even once. Aiden stared back at the unblinking
acute green eyes. He was madly besotted with this man.
Aiden broke his gaze as an annoyed Jason tired to
interrupt the conversation and get a few words in.
Jason was apparently not happy at Aditi's obvious
ogling. Aiden smiled as he thought about how Aditi was
struggling to capture Will's attention as Jason strived
to capture her's.
A young boy arrived and introduced himself as the
waiter. Aiden immediately recognized him as the waiter
who had been an overeager server to Will on the first
day when he had come here. Poor chap was still vying
for Will to take notice of him, albeit with no results.
Aiden thought for the hundredth time how lucky he was
to be the one that commanded all of Will's attention.
The two new arrivals ordered for coffee while Jason
stated that he had already had some. He shot down
Aditi's suggestion to order some more. Aditi finally
ordered a pastry for herself which Aiden was sure,
looking at her figure, she would never be able to
finish.
5 minutes of conversation later, in which Jason scowled
and frowned at Aditi, Will perfunctorily answered
flimsy questions and Aiden adjusted his crotch three or
four times under the table, Aiden noticed someone he
was not at all prepared to see.
It was the blonde guy Josh, getting up and heading
towards the exit; and he would cross thier table. The
same Josh who had rudely turned him down in the bar 4
days ago and humiliated him. Aiden tried to look
elsewhere as Josh squinted his eyes staring at Aiden as
he neared their group. Will immediately turned to see
who was the person he was reading about in Aiden's
thoughts.
A loud crash was heard as Will stealthily slipped his
foot out, tripping Josh who landed on his face with a
splat.
"I'm sorry," Will leaped up and offered his hand to a
dazed red-faced Josh who was trying to raise himself
off the ground. He grabbed hold of Will's hand through
the leather jacket as he gradually got up. Meanwhile
Will intentionally tipped the coffee mug he had in his
other hand and spilled its contents over him.
Josh shrieked as the hot liquid splattered all over his
torso. "You asshole!"
"Shit, sorry. Really sorry. Didn't meant to..." Will
continued to apologize though he felt none of that at
all. This boy had hurt the Alchemist's feelings and
would have to pay for it. Will felt the rage inside him
tending to flow out when suddenly he picked up Aiden's
thoughts.
The Alchemist did not want this boy to suffer, nor did
he wish for anything bad to happen to him. Even after
all the pain this boy had caused him. Even though all
he had said during the entire episode was "Oh shit!" as
the coffee spilled on Josh, Will read through his
thoughts that he intended no harm to the boy.
Those thoughts of the Alchemist acted like a few drops
of cold water sprinkled onto boiling milk overflowing
from a container. Black immediately simmered down.
A couple of waiters rushed over to help a screaming
Josh up and Will himself helped him for real this time.
He cursed himself thinking of the way he had acted. Why
was he so influenced by the thoughts the Alchemist had?
And why had he felt so angry at this boy in the first
place? The waiters escorted an agitated Josh towards
the restrooms to get him cleaned up.
The four looked at each other as the profanities being
uttered by Josh faded away.
"What was that all about?" asked a bewildered Aditi.
"Don't know, but..." Jason could take it no longer.
"Let's go, I gotta get going."
Aditi flinched but she knew she was not having any luck
here. "Yup let's go." She stated as she got up.
"See you guys later." She added as Jason possessively
put an arm around her and hastily led her out.
Aiden heaved a sigh of relief and Will grinned at him.
"Whew! Good riddance with that female!" Will spoke out.
"Good riddance indeed."
Aiden had another thought on his mind. He couldn't
shake the feeling that Will somehow knew what
significance Josh held in his recent life and was
somehow getting back at him for that.
"That guy you just spilled coffee on, did you know him
from before?"
"Who me? No." Will replied truthfully.
Aiden decided to accept that and forget about it. The
big-eyed young waiter appeared and started cleaning the
mess beside their table. The same one Aiden had
despised on an earlier day for ogling at Will. But this
time Aiden felt pity. Will was downright hot. Any sane
person would be attracted to him. But Will would not
even give him the time of day. Maybe Will could just...
"Hey kid!" Will called out to the young waiter who
immediately perked up when he realized it was Will
calling out to him.
"How was the show?" Will was referring to the episode
with Josh that had just occurred.
"Nice show! I hate that prick. He's a total dick." the
kid was smiling wide, all his front teeth showing.
Finally this hunk of the first water had paid him some
attention.
Will winked at the kid and playfully swatted his butt
as he passed by. Aiden almost choked on his own coffee
when he saw Will slapping the waiter's butt but kept
grinning at Will who grinned back evilly at him.
Will had just made the young waiter's day.
Internally, Black wondered why he wanted to fulfill
this boy's every wish, however small it might be.
Not too far away from the coffee house, an irritable
Aditi finally wrenched her hand and jerked herself away
from Jason who was speedily dragging her along
"Hey easy, easy," she said slowing down. "Chill tiger!"
"What chill?" Jason asked agitatedly. He was peeved to
the core at Aditi's behavior with Will. But he was not
going to tell her that.
Aditi started laughing at his petulant expression.
"What's so funny?" Jason demanded.
"Well it's you and your jealousy, God you males are an
envy-filled species!"
"What jealous?" Jason was still not going to admit his
anger was arising because he was jealous of Will. Will,
who so easily grabbed Aditi's attention.
"Jealous of me flirting with that hottie Will." Aditi
had a triumphant look on her face. Jason looked at her
knowing she hit the nail on the correct spot but unsure
of what to say.
"But you needn't worry about a damn thing." She added.
"They're both gay anyway."
"Who's gay?" Jason had a flustered expression on his
face. He was clearly not understanding what Aditi was
saying. He cursed girls and their way of communication.
"Your friend and his hunky boyfriend Will. They're both
gay," She clarified.
"Aiden's not gay!"
"Of course he is! Didn't you know? I thought he was
your roommate."
"He is my roommate. And he's not gay."
"Uh-uh he is" she replied shaking her head. "You're
such a doofus. Can't you see the way they look at each
other. Aiden's as gay as a goose!"
Jason stared at Aditi with a shocked expression, his
mind hardly able to register what was going on. "And
so's Will." Aditi added with a sigh.
Jason was left repulsed at the thought that his
roommate might be gay.
~~~
Frigeria entered the chamber where her ruler White sat
in loneliness. The same chamber where she had spend 2
days healing the great white angel. Only this time he
was in no need of any physical healing.
The great angel sat on a flat marble top in a pensive
mood, his right elbow resting on his thigh as it
supported his chin with the fist of his hand. His
gigantic wings drooping behind, depicting his state of
mind.
Frigeria settled down beside her ruler on the white
floor, her velvety sequins swishing as she did so. She
looked wistfully at his face. "What occurred?" she
asked, her voice reverberating across as the dulcet
tinker of bells.
White lifted his countenance to gaze upon the beautiful
raven haired angel.
"The Alchemist declined to assist us." A simple
assertion, yet the tone that White used conveyed that
the weight behind those words was indeed not
imponderous.
"You yourself asked him this?"
White hesitated before he replied, "I obtained the
answer through sub conscious ingress."
Frigeria understood immediately. The mighty guardian of
Light had been nervy when it came to matters dealing
with the Alchemist. He had asked the boy for help and
had been refused. And the boy had no inkling of it. The
courageous guardian was intimidated by a mere boy and
wished to remain anonymous in case something negative
happened.
"But what were his reasons?"
White took a deep breath. This was going to be
difficult to explain.
"As I raced along the insides of his minds and created
a virtual world, I played out the entire scenario where
I broached the Alchemist."
Frigeria swished around and made herself comfortable,
knowing this would be a long explanation
"At the onset when I told the boy of the ancient
legends and the power of the Alchemist, the boy thought
I was asinine. He would not believe of the Kingdom of
Light and the Kingdom of Void and the powers that
watched over them. He thought of me as an imbecile.
Then I showed him my true form and stretched out my
wings. That's when the boy was left perplexed."
"The boy accompanied me to Immaculata and I crossed him
over to this plane. He stayed on for about a day and
after taking in the surroundings and seeing everything
around, he came to the conclusion that he would not
help us."
White paused looking directly at Frigeria. She waited
for him to go on.
"The boy soon understood the conflict between the
Kingdoms of Light and Void and realized what it was
that I was asking him to do. That was when he refused."
"The boy understood that I was asking him to extirpate
our enemies, wipe out an entire other kingdom. He
completely refused to do so. He said that this other
universe contained two Kingdoms that balanced each
other out and the entities that lived in it had
different mindsets. He said that the powers of Black
and White offset each other and it was not his to
intervene. Especially if intervening meant killing
thousands of entities and taking their blood on his own
hands. He would not under any circumstances be
responsible for wiping out an entire Kingdom and
slaughtering thousands, just to fulfill a prophecy."
Deep melancholy filled Frigeria's eyes, melancholy
filled with understanding and wonder as White
continued.
"The entire royal court begged him to facilitate the
Kingdom of Light. Me and you Frigeria; we fell to his
feet and cried. We beseeched him stating that he was
the one who was designated to fulfill the prophecies
and end the war between the two rival Kingdoms. The
Alchemist's heart ached to see us distressed but he
still refused to be the one to carry out the ponderous
sinful task."
"I clearly remember the words he used before he asked
us to return us to his home. 'Good and bad are
variations of the same Karma. And you ask me to hoard
such enormous bad Karma so that your Kingdom can crush
the adversary. I cannot do that.' And with that the
Alchemist asked us to forgive him for h could be of no
help."
Silence reigned in the room as White finished; both
angels absorbing what had just been said. Finally
Frigeria opened her mouth to speak.
"The Alchemist is of far nobler thought than we are."
"Yes indeed." White nodded and rose from the marble
top. "And such nobility will need to be safeguarded."
"So what does the great one plan to do?"
White unfulred his wings once more. "Protect him."
~~~
A naked Aiden was plopped onto the large bed as Will
dumped him there. Will carrying the boy over to his
bedroom and dumping him unceremoniously had become a
sort of ritual for the two. Aiden straightened himself
on the bed still looking lustfully at Will. He was
stark nude and Will still had all of his clothes on,
including a very sexy leather jacket which made him
look like the cream of all gay men's fantasies.
Will grinned evilly at Aiden and teasingly took the
jacket off, showing of his broad chest and shoulders
which were sparingly covered by the thin white T-shirt
that attached itself to Will's torso like shrink wrap.
Aiden's dick stood out in full glory, throbbing in
anticipation.
Will caught hold of the ends of his T-shirt and started
gyrating as he tantalizingly lifted the thin white
material. Aiden waited in anticipation to see that
perfect masculine musculature once more, but Will was
in no hurry.
"Tease, aren't you?"
Will replied by licking his lips seductively and
pulling off the T-shirt in one stroke. Aiden stopped
breathing for a few seconds as his entire being was
riveted onto the slowly disrobing body.
Will stepped closer to the bed and unbuckled his jeans
still gyrating to the imaginary music in his head. He
bend down and lowered his jeans revealing powerful legs
that any person would kill to own. Now he was clad only
on tight black boxer briefs which were straining under
the pressure from his erect member, protruding
obscenely from the band.
Aiden raised himself and reached out to grab Will's
crotch who torturously swung out of reach.
"C'mere you tease!" Aiden wanted nothing more than to
touch that solid perfect body.
Will instead bend over and lifted his jacket and put
the leather garment back on. He was now clad in only
his leather biker jacket and black underwear. Aiden
moaned as Will stretched his arms and pulled out a
muscular pose, the contours of his abdomen prominently
sketched.
Will slowly advanced once again towards Aiden who this
time managed to hook his finger into the band of his
underwear. Aiden slowly pulled him closer by putting
his other hand on Will's muscular butt. He ran his
hands along the insides of Will's thighs feeling the
shape of the hard musculature until he reached Will's
crotch which he cupped in his hand, feeling the weight
of his balls, admiring the colossal sex god towering
over him.
Slowly Aiden pulled away the underwear as Will's large
rock hard member stood straight sticking out, pressed
rigidly against his belly. Aiden licked his lips and
smiled. This was the powerful tool that had been
pounding him since the last 3 days, the tool that had
caused him to have sore anuses, reminding him of Will
throughout his college lectures.
Aiden stroked the huge phallus a couple of times and
then took it into his mouth. Will groaned in pleasure
and inched closer towards Aiden, clutching at the boy's
hair as he pulled him closer. Sexual bliss was not
restricted only to the humans after all.
Aiden continued sucking on the thickly veined rod,
trying to take in a little more each time. He tried
taking it in as far as he could by relaxing his throat
muscles but it was no use; he could never reach the
hilt. Either he was not skilled enough, or more
obviously, Will was just too large.
Aiden withdrew partially and grabbed the base of Will's
cock, stroking it while still sucking on the top part.
Will was moaning Aiden's name and cooing, telling him
how good it felt.
Abruptly Will bend down pulling Aiden's lips off his
cock, smothering them with a kiss which Aiden returned
with heated passion. Will gradually lifted him up and
turned his body over, resting him on the edge of the
bed. Aiden was about to be fucked from behind while
using the bed for support.
Will finally broke the kiss and reached out for a
condom. He found no use of the item for himself, but
the Alchemist wanted it to be used so it would be. He
slowly slipped it on and stroked it till it stretched
out encasing his massive organ. Will pressed his weight
on Aiden and started kissing and sucking the back of
his neck as he loosened Aiden's anus with his fingers.
Aiden was experiencing celestial pleasures by that
time, moaning like only Will could make him moan.
Will lifted himself and positioned himself to enter the
boy by holding his hips on either side. He managed to
get the head inside as Aiden's sphincter muscles
relaxed and gradually slipped more of his member in.
The whole time Aiden was writhing in agony and ecstasy,
having no intention for Will to stop. Soon Will was
in.Aiden felt complete.
Will slowly started pulling in and out causing Aiden to
moan even louder. He worked to a faster pace and then
started pounding the Alchemist's ass the way he wanted
it. Will was furiously humping him, the bed squeaking
wildly, Aiden moaning loudly and the sheets which Aiden
had clenched with his fists coming off a little from
the bed each time Will slammed his pelvis against the
boy's butt. Will still had his leather jacket on and
Aiden could feel it's velvety coarseness against his
back.
Aiden was moaning like a sore pig now, enraptured in
the animalistic fucking, lost in celestial bliss. He
could feel the beads of sweat dripping of his forehead,
dropping onto the white sheets that he had clenched and
was tugging at each time Will slammed into him. Aiden
felt the whole world around him rocking. He could feel
his own steel hard dick flopping between the sheets and
his belly. He could smell the smell of Will's leather
jacket intertwined with his sweat and Will's own
masculine smell. And each sensation was pushing him
over the edge. He was very close now.
He felt Will gasping as he plunged long and deep within
him climaxing with the last thrusts. Simultaneously
Will grasped his cock and stroked it hard and long. The
sensations were too much for Aiden who was immediately
inundated by the pleasure of the Gods as he fell of the
precipice of orgasm. Thick ropes of semen spurted out
from his penis as he screamed in elation.
Will slumped down on his back pressing his weight
against him as he sucked on the back of his neck once
more. Aiden lay complacent, reveling in post orgasmic
bliss, wondering how he could still cum so much even
when he was involved in so much sexual activity.
Will gradually exited and freed himself from Aiden,
then lifted him up in his arms. He gently placed him on
the bed as the boy looked at him with a sated
expression on his face. Will got rid of the condom and
joined Aiden in bed kissing him softly, who reached out
his hands and gently kneaded Will's powerful butt.
Aiden placed one hand on each solid pectoral of Will
and pushed him back against the bed. He got up on his
knees and swooped down to attack one of Will's nipples,
but Will caught him halfway.
"It's time for you to be complacent, not complaisant,"
he stated firmly.
With that he pushed the boy back onto his back and
straddled him; placing one knee on either side of the
boy's torso. Instantly he swooped down to the boy's
chest and started ravenously biting and sucking along
it. Aiden gasped as Will slowly reached one hand across
the boy's once again erect cock and tantalizingly
teased the area around his sore anus.
"Should we try it once more?" he asked knowing what
Aiden's answer would be.
"Yes!" Aiden managed to squeak out between gasps. "But
harder this time!"
~~~
Aiden awoke groggily as he felt some sort of weird
sensation. The morning sun streamed in through the
windows as he noticed the gorgeous form of Will on top
of him, breathing heavily, not snoring at all. His
entire weight was on Aiden and the hard and lean
looking body was apparently warm and soft to touch.
Then Aiden realized why he was feeling weird. Will's
dick was still inside him. Had he slept off like that?
"This is definitely a first for me" Aiden thought a
little nervously.
Will started getting hard as he opened his eyes and
gazed at his lover pressed below him. "Hey beautiful!"
Aiden took a deep breath not knowing how to say it, but
Will's penis was steadily elongating inside him.
"You know you're still inside me."
Will raised his eye brows and immediately perked up,
pulling his almost erect penis out of Aiden. The penis
was still condom clad and had the remains of Will's cum
on the tip.
"Not that I didn't like it." Aiden grumbled making Will
smile.
"Then let's get it back in there." Will said getting
off the bed and frantically searching for condoms while
he disposed the one that had stayed inside Aiden's ass
all night long.
Aiden giggled as Will scurried about in the room and
then in the bathroom. He preferred to top when he had
sex, but with Will he was bottoming most of the time.
And he was relishing it. Will always insisted he top
whenever Aiden felt the least bit like it. Somehow Will
would always understand what Aiden was in the mood off.
'100% sex compatibility' Aiden happily thought to
himself as Will finished his distracting chores jumped
in the bed next to him.
Will slowly kissed the boy as he fumbled with his own
dick, trying to gain entry. Aiden was always worried
about his morning breath cause Will never had any. But
if Will was noticing it, he sure was not complaining.
Will finally found the right spot and pressed against
it, still kissing Aiden who had him tightly enveloped
in his arms. He slipped in easily through a
comparatively loose anus ring.
10 minutes of hot morning sex later, Aiden raised
himself from the bed eager to visit the loo. He knew
all that pounding would give him some trouble, but he
would happily bear it. He blissfully sat on the toilet
seat, thinking for the thousandth time how lucky he
was.
Slowly his thoughts drifted from early morning post
orgasmic bliss to his college and friends. Tinka and
Steve were still the only ones who knew about Will.
What would Jason and the others think if they were to
find out this hot property was his boyfriend; and that
he banged him every night? What would Dominic think?
Would they befriend him? He pushed the thoughts out of
his mind as he thought about the work he had planned
for the day.
He had to go and collect his contact lenses and catch
up on his college assignments. Apart from that he had
also promised Dominic for the electronics robot
assembling Techfest thing. And he had lectures
throughout the afternoon. Thankfully he had the time
before lunch free so he could wrap up all his chores
and play a little tennis with Steve. Steve who would be
peeved that he hardly played any tennis with him these
days. He was certain that Steve would instantly agree
to accompany him to the courts and bunk all his
lectures. Nothing could stop Steve from a game of
tennis.
He flushed the toilet and came back to the room to find
Will lazily grazing his hands across his body as he lay
on the bed.
"Hey Will, gotta leave now. Could you give me a lift
back to campus?"
Will continued to distract Aiden by rubbing small
circles on his abdomen with his fingers. "You could go
or we could just stay here and have some more fun."
Aiden was adamant though he knew he was getting hard
and had no clothes on to hide it. "No stop it! There's
tonnes of work I have to finish today."
Will replied by swiftly getting off the bed and
enveloping Aiden's thickening penis with his mouth.
Aiden managed to put in as he panted for breath, "Ah,
ok... so you'll... you'll drop me after... uhh... this,
won't you?"
Will nodded his head still continuing to suck on
Aiden's penis.
"And I...uhh...I'm kinda busy today and won't... ahh...
won't be able to meet you till nighttime."
Will nodded again, his head still bobbing along Aiden's
shaft. Aiden was not telling him that he had free time
today. But Will had long understood that this boy was a
workaholic; he would never be happy if you gave him a
100 million dollars and nothing to do. Aiden liked to
slog his ass all the time for he felt incomplete if he
did not constantly work on something. Will knew that
Aiden would spend all his free time catching up on his
friends and work.
~~~
Aiden smashed the ball hard and out of Steve's reach
which the latter did not even attempt to reach out to.
"Good shot!" Steve commended from the other side.
This was it, Aiden thought. A few more good shots like
that and the set would be his. This was definitely
going to be the best he had ever played. Now if only
his serve would click in the next round.
Aiden was playing a vigorous game of tennis with Steve.
And he was in the best form he had ever been. He
positioned himself to serve as he bounced the
fluorescent ball a couple of times on the ground;
gauging the length and power he had to put in. A lob of
the ball and wham!
"Fault." Steve called out from the other side.
Aiden cursed and took another ball out of his pocket
and gauged the serve length and line again. One more
lob and wham!
"Double Fault." Steve called out.
Aiden muttered angrily under his breath. Why the hell
was the damn ball not falling into the correct area at
least? Aiden cursed himself using his favorite mantra
for tennis; 'I suck at this game.'
9 more minutes and Steve officially won the game. Aiden
was still peeved and refused to quit playing. Steve was
however enervated.
"Firstly I hear that you are so groggy nowadays that
you sleep in your HOD's lecture," he shouted from his
side of the court, "And now you possess so much energy
that you literally bounce on an air cushion when we
play tennis. What's going on?"
"What do you mean bounce?" Aiden shouted back.
"Well, by bounce I mean what you're doing right now;
look at yourself!"
Aiden instantly stopped his prancing footwork and
sheepishly realized what Steve was saying.
"So it's all because of that Will dude eh?" Aiden was
glad that Steve at least remembered the name.
"Ok, just a few more shots and I'll call it quits,"
Steve called out tugging at the collar of his T-shirt.
"I'm pooped! After's, you can play against the wall!"
Steve stretched out and served towards Aiden. But his
opponent was no longer looking at the ball nor in it's
general direction. Aiden was mesmerized by someone who
had just entered the courts.
"You Nu.." but Aiden did not hear the rest. All he
realized was sudden throbbing pain as the ball smacked
his head and he slumped to the ground holding his head.
Steve ran over to Aiden's side and heard footsteps
alongside as someone else rushed to the 'serve victim'
who sat on the ground dazed, his spectacles resting on
his nose at an odd angle.
"What the fuck were you zoning out for?" An agitated
Steve shouted at Steve as he cradled his roommate in
his arms. "Are you ok?"
"You ok buddy?" Another voice asked.
Aiden could barely process anything, He felt as if his
skull had been split into two. The intense ache on the
side of his head felt like a 100 bowling balls inside
his skull banging the insides to get out. What had
caused him to zone out? It was the vision of a God. A
god wearing tennis togas and wielding a racket that had
entered the courts. But Aiden realized through the pain
that someone other than Steve was bending down next to
him.
White had been the person Aiden had caught a glimpse of
before the ball rocketed into his head. The human form
of his. And unknown to the players, White leisurely
hovered his hand over Aiden's head, healing him of his
pain. Humans were easy to heal.
Aiden was confused; the pain in his head was
dissipating, and fast. As it faded exponentially he
could hear Steve continuously asking him whether he was
all right.
Aiden finally lifted his head and was immediately
captivated by the presence of this new comer. "I'm
fine," he managed to squeak out.
Squatting down was the most beautiful sight he had ever
seen. Or was it the second most beautiful? The first
thing Aiden noticed were the deep sapphire eyes; a
mesmerizing blue; eyes that belonged to another world.
And then he noticed the strong noble face; a face that
bespoke of divinity and warmth. A strong square jaw
attributed to the most masculine roots one could
possess. And lastly Aiden noticed the golden blonde
hair, hair that reflected the sun and refracted its
beams. Aiden could hardly move.
Steve wore a perplexed expression, confused why Aiden's
face registered no signs of pain; instead he had a
dorky look on it. He swung his head sideways to see why
and himself paused at the sight of this new man. It was
a few moments before he realized that the effect that
this man had on him for just a few seconds, was the
same Aiden was under, only more severe and prolonged.
Steve leaned over and whispered into Aiden's ear, "Get
up you dork!"
"Uh, yeah." And then Aiden realized how foolish he must
be looking. "Why the hell did you slam the ball into
me?" he asked his face turning red as he raised himself
with the help of the two people, immediately feeling
where the new guy grabbed his arm to lift him up.
"What the fuck? I served only to find you suddenly
zoned out in the middle of the tennis court."
"I was not zoned out!" Aiden stated indignantly. "I was
just..."
Steve ran his hand over the side of Aiden's head, "You
took it pretty hard, are you sure its not hurting?"
"It's not." Aiden said, running his own hand over where
the ball had swacked him. "It really isn't."
Steve stared for a couple of seconds wondering whether
to attribute Aiden's lack of pain to this new arrival,
then finally decided that the pain would have been too
intense for Aiden to hide if indeed the ball had hit
him the way he thought it had.
Finally the new arrival spoke, "You guys still
playing?"
Aiden was still entranced a little by this new angel.
He noticed his tall built and obvious physique under
the flimsy tennis wear and eyed his well-developed
strapping legs. Immediately Aiden felt embarrassed of
his own legs. 'Should have worn full length tracks' he
thought to himself.
"No I'm pooped." Steve stated.
"I'm still playing!" Aiden hastily added with a goofy
expression on his face.
"I'm sorry," the man stated as Aiden hung on to his
every word staring at how his deep red lips moved, "I'm
Scott, Scott White." Scott extended his hand.
Aiden quickly extended his hand and shook it before
Steve could reach out his.
"I'm Aiden, and this is Steve." Aiden could feel the
tingling warmth of Scott's hand.
"So, are we playing?" Scott questioned as Aiden
continued smiling, showing no signs of leaving his
hand. Suddenly images of Will came crashing through
Aiden's mind. What was he doing; drooling over some
stranger? He had his own hunk that was hotter than this
guy, or maybe equally hot, but was there harm in
looking? No, he could not make such an ass of himself
after all Will did for him. Will was now the centre of
his everything, and he would be the only eye-candy he
ogled at.
Aiden averted his gaze from Scott as he spoke, "Yeah
sure, I'll take that court." Aiden paced towards the
other side of the net.
Steve shrugged once looking at the new guy and then
headed towards the benches to assemble his gear. He was
sure Aiden was going to make a dork of himself in front
of someone who looked as hot as this guy. He collected
his gear and headed out of the courts, whispering to
Aiden as he passed him.
"I'm sure this one's hotter than your Will."
"No way, he's not." Aiden replied knitting his brow,
but Steve had already passed by. Aiden looked at his
new opponent, knowing he was going to make a mess of
himself in front of this new guy. What had he gotten
himself into?
Scott placed himself to serve as Aiden readied to face
him. Wham! Aiden was not sure what had happened. Had
the ball gone by?
"Err, I think that's an ace." Scott called out.
"It is?" an incredulous Aiden asked.
"Yup, you missed it."
A few more serves later Aiden realized Scott was
brilliant at the game. And he understood that he was
holding himself back. 'This guy's a real pro', he
thought.
"You serve," Scott called out. Aiden was already
worried that his adversary was out of his league, and
now he would also get to witness his miserable serve.
'Great' he thought to himself.
Aiden readied himself and bounced the ball against the
ground, praying the ball would at least land in the
designated area. He smacked the ball hard as Scott
called out 'Fault' from the other side even before the
ball touched the ground anywhere. Aiden was nervous as
hell in front of this new chap.
A few more serves later Aiden thought to call it quits,
thinking he must be wasting such an ace player's time.
"You know, you should find a better opponent, I'll be
leaving now."
"No, no stay." Scott pleaded. "You ARE a good
opponent."
Aiden walked towards the net and leaned against the
pole on the side. "Yeah, tell me about it."
"Your serve is pretty good, a little timing will turn
it into a juggernaut!"
Aiden raised his eyebrows at the comment. His serve and
timing; he knew he could hardly use the two in the same
sentence, but that was all that was wrong with his
serve? Nah! His whole form sucked. But yet, Scott did
not sound like he was making fun of him.
Scott walked towards Aiden's side, "Here, serve with
me."
~~~
Aiden led Scott toward the sideshop to 'recharge on
fluids' as Scott had put it. The latter had offered to
help him improve his serve, and he actually had. He had
prodded him to time his lobs and swing at the ball at
the correct height. Had it been that simple? How come
he had never seen it before? But Scott had also posed
severe problems in his tennis shorts when he leaned
against him to correct his stance.
Aiden had cursed his hormones seeing how genuine and
polite this man was. 'He actually did want to help me
out and was not at all condescending,' he thought.
Otherwise, most of the time whenever someone tried to
correct his tennis, his ego would prevent him from
learning.
White on the other hand was about to embark on another
mental dive. He was curious to know the mental state of
the alchemist and the import of things in his life.
Only this time he would dive subtly, skim over
cursorily; the Alchemist would not even realize that
his mind had been perused. White caught his breath and
dived in.
His consciousness raced through the insides, as a
spectator and not as an active involved entity this
time. And suddenly White realized a cornucopia of
feelings that overwhelmed and saturated him.
The Alchemist was drugged on newly discovered love. And
it felt exciting and satiating at the same time. The
Alchemist was sharing his heart with someone, and White
was left dizzied by the feelings that flooded him. Love
that was solid and which felt oddly familiar. When had
he ever experienced something like this before?
"Scott, what will you have?" Aiden questioned for the
second time from the counter.
White blinked and his consciousness jumped back into
his own mind. He had lost himself in the tender
feelings of adoration and affection that beleaguered
him inside the boy's mind.
"Uh, Yeah, just any Oj type of thing." He finally
answered. He noticed the alchemist looking at him with
an odd expression. He would have to be very cautious
around this boy.
Aiden asked for two Gatorades which an eager girl
behind the counter fetched, all the while smiling
goofily at White. White immediately offered to pay the
trivialities but Aiden refused to accept, paying on his
own. The two settled down on a table with their drinks.
"So what do you do Scott?" Aiden asked. "As in, how
come you get to play on the university courts?"
White sipped his drink before he answered. He never
fancied human food. "I organize some courses outside
campus, just behind your back entrance."
"And that allows you to play on campus?" Aiden had an
incredulous expression on his face.
"Yeah they do. The coach is an old friend of mine."
"How come I've never seen you before?" Aiden asked
before he could stop himself.
White was having a difficult time with this boy. The
great Angel might be a God who performed Herculean
tasks, but lying and deceiving this innocent boy was
not one of them. "Don't know timings don't match I
guess."
Aiden seemed content with the answer as he resumed
sipping his drink. White wanted to try one more thing.
He mentally projected the thought of his having sex
with the boy into Aiden's mind, and waited to gauge his
reflections.
The boy was initially excited by the thought, but the
fluttering feeling lasted hardly a second. Instead he
reacted violently by foisting the thought out of his
head, clearly repulsed and accusing his own self of
infidelity. His face had turned a little crimson in
those few moments. White was impressed.
'Very Well', White thought to himself. 'If this boy is
indeed so steady and noble, I shall never ever enter
his mind again unless a dire situation comes along.'
And with that White pledged never to read Aiden's
thoughts, nor enter his mind again.
~~~
A human shape dashed across the irate walkers
apologizing as it sped by.
"Sorry," Aiden called out as he raced towards his
destination. He was heading over to collect his contact
lenses though he hardly had 20 minutes before his next
lecture commenced. He knew he was cutting it close, but
he could delay this task any longer. He wanted to wear
his lenses the next time he appeared before Will. He
could hardly wait to see how Will and his friends would
react.
He finally reached the alley panting for breath and
looked up to where the shop was. He was hoping his
order was ready and would be delivered promptly.
And then he saw it; immediately remembering as he
noticed it; the shop below with a flashy sign in black
and red that read 'Horuscopus'. This was the card that
the old frantic Japanese lady had slipped into his
pocket the other day when he was with Will. Well he
didn't know where that card was any longer but the lady
had sounded desperate. He had forgotten all about it
till now. Hadn't she insisted he call him?
Well he was going to have to do it later, if he did it
at all, he had no time right now.
Aiden dashed up the spiral staircase cursing the fact
he could not climb them any faster. Huffing for breath
he entered the shop fishing a receipt out of his
pocket, towards the immaculately dressed woman with her
hair in a bun that sat at the counter.
"Hi, I'm here to collect an order," Aiden stated
collecting his breath. "I was here on Sunday for some
contact lenses."
The lady took the proffered card and put on a pair of
reading glasses, reading it carefully. "Ah, yes of
course. Have a seat, I'll just get your stuff."
Aiden was in no mood to take a seat, he frantically
looked at his watch. 17 minutes left. It would take him
about 10 minutes if he ran all the way back to
university. He could make it to his lecture in time."
He calmed himself and took a seat.
13 minutes of impatient waiting later, an irate Aiden
asked the preened lady for the fourth time where his
order was.
"It's just coming," she answered reassuring him and
then called out to someone in a louder voice, "Charles!
Get this young man's order pronto!"
Aiden was peeved to the core. He would never get to his
lecture on time now. He might as well forget about it.
He huffed and went back to sit on the uncomfortable
waiting chairs. As soon as he sat down the lady called
out, "Ah it's here!"
Aiden thanked the lady in a mordant tone and collected
the goods. He had missed a lecture on account of their
inefficiency. He walked leisurely out of the shop
knowing there was no rush to go anywhere now.
As he descended the spiral stair case he noticed the
sign for the Horoscope shop again. Well he could go
there now, since he had the free time. Or should he?
After contemplating for half a minute whether he should
enter a place with a banner like that, Aiden finally
decided he would; he had glanced around and made sure
no one who could recognize him would see him entering
the store.
He pushed the black glass door open as wind chimes
above the door jingled signaling his entry. Aiden found
himself in the most colorful room he had seen in his
entire life, filled with ominous masks and ornamental
bands hanging across the walls. A Japanese girl, who
Aiden estimated to be his own age, watching television
turned to see who had entered.
"Can I help you?" Aiden noticed her white milky
complexion and was reminded of the lady he had
encountered having the same complexion.
"Uhh, I'm looking for a lady." Aiden stated unsure of
what to ask for.
"The shop's closed, we don't cater to any customers any
more."
"The sign outside..."
"We closed shop 3 days ago," the girl interrupted
sharply as she muted the television and Aiden realized
she had no accent. "The sign outside will be hammered
out in a day or two."
"But I'm not here to get my fortune, uhh, future
predicted..." The girl pursed her lips and waited for
Aiden to continue.
"I'm here to meet an old lady who I met a few days
back." Aiden finally managed to say. "Look, this old
lady gave me a card to this place and asked for me to
call her. I think she runs this place or something"
Aiden regretted calling the lady old in front of her
probable relative.
The girl's face went blank. "When did you meet her?"
Aiden recalled the day he had come for his lenses
earlier, the day he had gone with Will to the
retirement home. "On Sunday."
The girl bit her lower lip. "That's the day she died."
Aiden was taken aback. He had hardly dealt with death
in his life before and was not sure how to react. "I'm
sorry, I'll leave if you want me to."
"No wait, that old lady was my mother. Tell me where
you met her." Aiden looked at the girl unsure of what
to say. This girl had lost her mother 2 days ago and
was talking about it so normally. She registered no
signs of shock on her face, only one of determination.
"I met her near my friend's retirement home. She came
after me and told me about some danger sort of thing."
"She told you of the devil that was after you," the
girl stated flatly.
"Excuse me?"
The girl swiftly got up, switched off the television
and turned towards Aiden. "My mom went nuts on Sunday.
That was the day she died. In fact she was murdered.
Killed by a demonic force."
Aiden was trying to follow what the girl was saying,
but made little sense of it. The girl noticed Aiden's
expression and stepped closer to him.
"Listen, you may think I'm out of whack, but my mom was
psychic. And on that bastard day," she clenched her
teeth, "My mom saw some sort of a vision and went nuts.
She kept saying something like 'a boy would be consumed
by a devil' and drove everyone else in the house mad.
Finally she left the house to seek the boy or
whatever."
Aiden scrunched his face and creased his brow. He had
no idea what to make of this girl or her story.
"She returned later in the evening but was still
inconsolable; she said she had not been able to warn
the boy even though she had met him. We managed to get
her to go to sleep after a big ruckus." The girl paused
to add the next bit, "And then she was murdered by the
devil."
"She was?" Aiden asked not at all believing what was
being said but having no inkling on how to react to a
girl who spoke of a dead mother and supernatural
phenomenon with such a straight face.
"Yes, she was. When we found her, her eyes had popped
out of her head and blood was seeping out through her
nose, through her ears, even through the sockets in her
eyes." The girl's tone was getting louder and louder
and she was almost screaming as she said the last bits.
"Uhh, I..."
The girl lashed out at Aiden, "You don't believe me do
you? But you would believe the forensic reports that
showed that her brain had exploded inside her skull,
turned to mushy pulp, and all while she lay on her bed
alone."
Aiden was having a hard time processing the situation.
This girl was getting angry as her entire face had
turned from white to red. Suddenly the rage on her face
disappeared and tears streamed out form the corners of
her eyes as she tried to wipe them with the back of her
hand. Aiden stepped away from the girl as if she was an
explosive ticking to go off.
"I'm sorry... it's just..." the rest of her words faded
in the sobs.
"It's ok, I'll just leave." Aiden was feeling
miserable.
"No, no, forgive me for all that anger."
"No, no it's ok."
"No dammit! Listen to what I have to say!" the girl
burst out again. Aiden flinched ready to run off if she
took the slightest step toward him. He was terrified of
this girl now.
"You are the boy mama was trying to protect. You are
the one the devil is after."
Aiden chewed at his lips.
"You are the one mama gave her life for."
~~~
A confused boy left the Horoscope shop. Aiden's head
was spinning. What did the girl mean by insisting for
him to believe in the devil? Why was she so adamant?
And there was one thing that she said just before he
left her that made him queasy; be careful of new people
in your life.
Aiden was terrified. Did she mean to refer to Will? No,
that was impossible! Will was the kindest person he had
ever met in his entire life. Will was a new person in
his life after all. And then he had met another person
lately; Scott. These were the only two significant
recent additions in his life lately. Or the girl might
have been referring to scores of lesser important
people that he encountered everyday.
Finally Aiden felt sick at himself for thinking about
such things. Finally he came to a conclusion; he had
been a fool who felt for a girl that was so traumatized
at her mother's death. For all he knew, the girl would
scream and cry at anyone who entered the shop since her
mother died. There was no reason to believe this
obviously disturbed girl.
Then how did the lady who came after him in the first
place fit into all this?
~~~
Dominic was tapping his fingers against the table
waiting impatiently. He was a prompt person and
disliked having to wait for anyone. And right now he
was waiting for the most punctual person he knew.
Dominic looked up as he heard footsteps, his face
registering surprise at seeing Aiden.
"Dude, where are your glasses?"
Aiden smiled feebly though he hardly felt like it at
that time. "Oh, I switched to lenses."
Dominic raised his eyebrows and tried to say something
but no words left his mouth. He started again, "What
the hell do you mean lenses?"
Aiden's smile accumulated some joy. "Contact Lenses."
"Shit!" Dominic exclaimed. "First you change your hair,
and now you dumped your glasses? I mean look at you!
Who the fuck are you? I can barely recognize you!"
"So how does it look?" Aiden asked hesitatingly.
"It looks nice." Dominic thought for a couple of
seconds before he added, "In fact it suits you pretty
well."
Aiden was happy. Dominic had said he was looking good.
He had been distressed throughout the afternoon,
immersed in anxious thoughts, and had forgotten about
the lenses till Dominic pointed it out.
"So what are all these changes for?"
"Uhh, just like that."
"Are you hiding something from me?"
The two were interrupted as a new person entered the
room. Aiden stared wide eyed; it was Scott.
"So should we begin?" Scott asked smiling at the pair.
"Begin what?" Aiden asked confused. "Scott what are you
doing here?" He was immediately aware of his contact
lenses again but reckoned that Scott had met him just
once before when he had been wearing spectacles. Scott
would not know of the switch he had made; the switch
that for Aiden had been so dramatic.
"I'm your guide for robot assembling. Didn't I tell you
that I take some courses behind college?"
Aiden stared dumbfounded. Scott was wearing a half
sleeved striped shirt and black jeans. And he looked
seriously hot! Aiden was watching Scott's lips move as
he spoke and was having a hard time concentrating on
what he was saying. 'Shit' Aiden thought to himself.
'If this hunk is gonna be my teacher here, I can safely
say buh-bye to robotics with the amount I'll be able to
concentrate with him around'.
"So shall we begin with our Micromouse?" Scott asked.
Scott disappeared into the adjoining room as the
budding engineers followed. "You know him?" Dominic
asked as they followed Scott.
"Yeah, sorta. Just met him today and played some tennis
with him." Aiden entered a larger room where he found
Storm already waiting, sitting on a tiny stool that
threatened to give away any moment.
"Okay everyone." Scott clasped his hands as he waited
for the trio to settle down. He took a deep breath
before he started. "You all have the university
TechFest coming up in 4 weeks time and are wanting to
submit an entry for the Micromouse contest."
"We want to win it." Dominic interrupted.
"Yes definitely." Scott continued. "Your contest rules
are here with me. The maze design and dimensions are
categorically defined. What we will need is knowledge
in microcontrollers, knowledge of basic assembly
language, knowledge of a few electronic devices and a
little knowledge of design dynamics."
Aiden was impressed through the little he heard when he
was not distracted by Scott's looks. This guy was hot,
hunky, smart, and polite. Weren't drop dead gorgeous
people supposed to be snobbish and dumb? He now knew of
two people who could shatter that theory now.
"What I require from you guys is your dedication and
hard work. We don't have much time before the contest
and we will have to make the most of the time we do
have. I will be starting off with some basic circuits
that are not actual components of the Micromouse robot.
However these circuits will help you understand what
you're doing and impart you important knowledge that
could otherwise be left untouched even after completion
of the robot."
Aiden stole a glance at his engineer buddies. They were
looking up at Scott with respect and awe. Scott's
dynamic personality had clearly swept them off their
feet. 'He probably has this effect on everyone' Aiden
realized.
The group split up into different tasks; Aiden was
handed a bunch of circuitry material to complete a PCB
and interpret what it did. Aiden started his work,
surprised that a simple circuit could be so challenging
when you had to work backwards with it. After some
fiddling he called for Scott to find out why it was not
working.
Scott lifted the board on which the circuit was mounted
and glanced at the components.
"There's a tiny problem here." Scott finally stated.
"Observe your green LED."
Aiden narrowed his eyes to observe and then cursed
himself. He had soldered the LED in reverse polarity.
"Shit! what a dork!" Aiden muttered cursing himself as
he slapped his forehead.
Scott smiled at Aiden. "Happens to the best of us."
Aiden was smitten. This man was so polite. He loved the
manner in which Scott made you realize your mistakes
and was not at all patronizing. This man was actually
making him understand all the heavy circuitry he had
been involved in for the first time. Otherwise Aiden's
knowledge was bookish and pedantic. He could feel his
heart warming next to Scott. This man exuded comfort
and also some sort of intoxication.
Aiden watched as Scott went over to Storm who was busy
fiddling with tiny electronic components with his large
bulky fingers, a sight to behold. The two laughed at
Storm's attempts to insert a thin wire into the
breadboard grooves. Aiden noticed as Storm got up that
Scott was nearly the same height as him. But whereas
Storm possessed a lot of bulk and looked generally
large, Scott was in perfect shape; perfect arms, broad
back and shoulders, and the most perfect butt. Aiden
scolded himself, 'Ok, finish your work first!' and
forced himself to look down at the circuit.
"He's probably straight anyway!" He reasoned to
himself. "Plus I have Will now."
~~~
It was later in the evening when the trio left Scott
and his gadgets. Aiden was feeling much better than he
had been all afternoon. But as soon as Dominic and
Storm left him he got lost in his own thoughts as he
walked towards Will's apartment.
With the advent of the robotics project, he would now
be meeting Scott on a regular basis. 'Scott White', he
voiced to himself. He chuckled thinking there were two
handsome men in his life who had last names of colors.
'Black and White'.
Scott was immensely likeable, other than the fact that
he could almost make Aiden cum in his underwear. He was
attracting Aiden like a moth to a flame. And Aiden was
having a hard time stopping himself from being lured.
But why did he even have to think about anyone else
now?
Now there was Will in his life. A person who seemed to
desire him as much as he did. And he was absolutely
fantastic. Then what was bothering him. Wasn't all the
things the Japanese girl and lady said crap? 'What
devil drivel!' He suddenly remembered Tinka's question.
'Wasn't Will too perfect?' Why had his best friend said
something like that? Aiden knew it was a harmless
question, asked in care, but something like that from
Tinka really affected him. Was Tinka feeling there was
something wrong behind Will's façade? Why the hell did
she have to feel that way? Just when he was so happy.
So now there were two alpha males in his life. Two men
that both looked that they just stepped out from the
cover of a romance novel. Men so handsome that they
were difficult to fathom. So why was he so distressed?
Aiden reached Will's building, surprised he had not
realized where the journey started and where it got
over. He was way too washed out mentally. He was
crestfallen and insecure. And he did not know a proper
reason to assign for his worries.
~~~
Black opened the swung the door open knowing it was
Aiden who had arrived. He was immediately flooded by
Aiden's thoughts.
Aiden stood there in the hallway, trying to smile at
him. But Black knew otherwise. He felt the pathos of
unanswered questions overwhelming him. Black stepped
forward and hugged Aiden, enfolding him within his
arms. Aiden immediately closed his eyes and rested his
head on his lover's strong shoulder.
Black gently stroked Aiden's back, swaying gently,
purring sweet nothings in his ear. The boy was insecure
and had only him to hold onto. He started analyzing
Aiden's thoughts.
There was the worry of a fortune telling lady's
daughter that had distressed his lover by telling him
of a devil. So killing the old lady had not been good
enough? There was nothing more that could be done about
it now. If he tried to wipe out this daughter now, and
Aiden found out, the consequences could be cataclysmic.
Then there was the matter of doubt and uncertainty
expressed by a friend. The same girl he had met
earlier. There was certainly no manner in which he
could intervene there.
And then there was the matter of a new man that
confused his lover's senses. Black decided to root out
this man if he posed a problem again.
Black was till swaying with Aiden, still out in the
hallway. He gauged Aiden's worries, fears, anxieties
and doubts and felt melancholic himself. He would do
anything in his powers to make Aiden feel better. All
he wanted was to see this boy smile. No one would be
allowed to harm his lover.
Black gently rubbed his cheeks against Aiden's, still
purring soothingly as the boy stood still, holding
onto, fearing to let go. Black knew what the boy
wanted.
He gently lifted the boy in his arms and carried him
inside, ever so slightly shutting the door. Reaching
the bedroom he placed him on the bed softly and
carefully removed their clothes before joining his
lover.
Back made soft and tender love to Aiden, long and slow,
completely losing himself in the tender passion and
feelings of affection that inundated him. He wanted
nothing more than to please this boy. To fill joy in
his heart and rid him of his anxieties. To make him
understand that everything would be ok. He climaxed the
lovemaking, for the first time feeling sated himself.
He lightly ran his hair through Aiden's hair. He knew
his next words should never have been uttered.
"Don't worry about anything. I'll always be with you."
And with that he quietly dozed of with his lover,
knowing that the human feelings he was experiencing
were going to land him in trouble.
~~~
Fifteen minutes later Aiden groggily got out of the
bed. He stepped over to where his jeans lay and fished
out a tiny double sectioned box. Stretching the skin
below his eyes he popped the contact lenses out and
placed each one of them in the small compartments
marked L and R. Having finished the task, he moved back
into the arms of his lover, cursing the fact that
lenses needed to be removed before sleeping.
~~~
Ok, so lots of events in Aiden's life. A lot of things
he's going through. Black and White are now both key
people in his life. We'll see how he deals with things
as they come. There's still a lot of things left to
happen.
