A couple of nights later, Kevin was laying next to Sky, reading his story. “So, you really like my story?”

“Mhmm.” Kevin kept reading.

“I’ve been working on it for two years. I’m about finished.”

“Really?” Kevin looked at Sky. He was on his side, facing Kevin, and was propping his head up with his arm.

“Yeah.” Sky just stared at Kevin.

“I have a question.”

“Hmm?”

“Why were you such a jerk and now you let me hang around you?” Sky smiled, “You’re not going to answer my question are you?”

“Nope,” he laughed.

“Figures.” Kevin turned and looked at the ceiling.

“So, you really don’t like anyone?”

Kevin saw that something was bothering Sky, “I’m not sure. It’s complicated.” Sky was only a foot away and just looked at him. “W-what?”

He stared at him for a long moment then finally got out, “I’m hungry.”

“Oh, well,” he just kept looking at Kevin making him feel nervous, “are you reading my mind or something?” it was just the way he was looking at him, focusing on Kevin deeply.

A small smile turned up the corner of his lips. “Maybe.”

“Seriously, you’re making me nervous.”

“That’s good.” What the hell did that mean? His eyes finally left Kevin’s, but only traveled down a little farther from his face. Was he looking at his lips? His tongue ran over his own lips and Kevin asked, “Want to get something to eat?”

“Yeah,” Sky leaned in closer to Kevin’s face.

Kevin’s mind raced forward, was he going to kiss him? Should he stop him? “What are you doing?” Kevin’s voice shook.

Sky’s eyebrows creased, he looked confused and scared. He hesitated then leaned in, pressing their lips together. Kevin wanted to shove him away, but at the same time….

Sky moved his lips against his and Kevin forced himself to kiss him back. Was it okay to just fool around with your step brother? He didn’t like the idea of just fooling around. He didn’t think Sky was serious about him either so, he should stop it right? Kevin pushed against Sky, breaking their kiss. “I don’t think this is a good idea.” Was that the right thing to say to Sky?

Sky stared at him, confused. “Seriously? You think this isn’t a good idea? But sending me pictures is okay?”

Kevin shrugged, “I don’t know,” frustration coating his words, “I’m not sure if this is okay at all. I sure as hell don’t need to be used by you so you can get laid or something.”

Sky’s mouth gapped in horror, shock spreading all over his face. “I cannot believe you. You think I’m using you?” Kevin was terrified, was Sky not using him? “Get out.” Anger replaced the shock, Sky’s eyes went cold.

Kevin got off the bed and went for the door. What had he just done? He had finally gotten somewhere with Sky. Had he just ruined it? Kevin stopped, “Why did you kiss me?”

“Get. Out.” Sky’s voice hissed, keeping his back to Kevin.

Kevin left, confusion totally consuming him. He paced in his room. What had just happened?

*****

A week passed, Sky hadn’t spoken to Kevin except to wake him up. Kevin began to feel antsy and upset. Every day at school, he would nervously sit in his classes, trying to think of what was going on. He finally started to feel depressed, “Katlyn?” They were alone at lunch. He gave up; he had to talk to someone about this.

“What’s wrong?”

“Will you come over after school? I really need to talk to you.”

“Oh, sure,” She had been worried about him all week.

Hours later, Kevin and Katlyn sat on his bed. She patiently waited as he tried to figure out what to say. “First you need to know something before I tell you about why I’m so upset with Sky.” She nodded, Kevin took a deep breath. “I’m gay.”

“Wow, really?” She was totally shocked.

“So is Sky.”

“Wow!”

“Yeah, well that’s how he opened up to me. Then one night,” this was too embarrassing to be talking about, “he walked in on me while I was…..masturbating.” He whispered the word.

“Uh-huh, go on.”It didn’t even faze her.

“Well the next day we were texting and he told me it was all he could think about and he was masturbating thinking about me.” She stared at me shocked, “Then, well, we sent pictures to each other.”

“Dirty ones?”

“Yeah,” She stared at me. “Then we started hanging out more. Well, one night he kissed me.”

“Oh my gosh!” She smiled a little.

“Well, I pushed him away because I was afraid he was using me. He got pissed and hasn’t talked to me since.”

“Wow.”

“Yeah that’s pretty much the jest of it. What should I do?”

She was quiet for a moment, “Well, if he got mad either he’s mad because you rejected him. Or he’s so embarrassed he can’t face you or,” she paused, “he’s in love with you.”

Kevin laughed on that one, “Yeah, right. He’s a freakin’ ass. I’m sure he’s mad because I rejected him. How could I reject the wonderful and perfect Sky?”

“Do you love him?”

“I don’t know. It’s so confusing.” Kevin fell back on his bed. “What am I going to do?”

“Make him talk to you.”

Kevin laughed, “How do I do that?”

She shrugged, “Corner him.”

*****

Weeks passed dreadfully slow, it was the last week of school and Sky had hardly spoken to Kevin. Kevin had almost completely given up hope on anything. How could he be this upset with Sky? He found himself staring at the back of Sky’s head in Biology. He was lost in thought, but was rudely brought back when Sky turned around to look at him. Turns out, everyone was looking at him. “Kevin? Are you okay?” His teacher asked.

“I don’t feel well, may I be excused?”

“Yes.” Kevin numbly walked to the bathroom and stared at himself. The more he stared at his reflection, the angrier he became. Angry tears rolled down his cheeks. “Fuck!” He screamed while throwing his pen across the room. He sat down on the cold floor and continued to cry.

The bathroom door opened, surprising Kevin. His eyes were so full of tears his vision blurred. Sky? “Kevin? What’s wrong?” It was Derrick.

“Nothing,” His voice cracked.

“Nothing? You’re crying. Tell me.” He sat down next to Kevin.

“You don’t want to know.” Kevin rubbed his eyes.

“I’m your friend, you can tell me anything.”

Kevin took a deep breath before telling Derrick everything. When he was done talking, Derrick was quiet. “I’m so confused. I talked to Katlyn about it.” Kevin sighed heavily.

“You know what I think?” Kevin looked at Derrick, “I think you should have me and Katlyn over this weekend. We’ll help you.”

“Derrick, I don’t think there’s anything you can do.”

“We’re coming over. And we will fix this.” Derrick’s face showed total determination.

That night Kevin stayed in his room, wandering what he was going to do. Then he heard his father’s voice come from downstairs, “Kevin Keeling!” With a groan, he crawled out of his bed and joined his father in the kitchen. His father’s face showed he was pissed about something. His step-mother sat at the table, not making eye contact with anyone. Sky had his back to everyone as he washed the dishes. “What the hell is up with your grades?” His voice was low.

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, you’re failing Biology and you have two D’s.” Kevin stared at his father. That made sense. He hadn’t been doing any work in Biology. “Do you have anything to say?”

“I’m sorry. I just haven’t been really worrying about school.”

“Why not?!”

“I’ve just had a lot going on.”

“That is no excuse. Isn’t Sky in your class? He can help you.” Kevin’s eyes moved to the floor. “You two need to grow up, whatever it is you two are mad about, get over it!” There was an awkward silence. “Failing Biology and a D in gym and English.” He threw Kevin’s grades at him.

Kevin stayed silent, tears welling up. “Dave.” His step mother’s voice cautioned.

“You’re the most pathetic, worthless son I could ever have. Get the hell out of my sight.” Kevin finally met his father’s eyes, but quickly glanced over at Sky who had stopped doing dishes to give Kevin’s father a horrified look. Kevin quickly walked up to his room.

Once alone in his room, he allowed his unshed tears to roll freely down his cheeks. Hours went by; Kevin lay exhausted on his bed feeling more alone than ever. There was a soft knock, Kevin turned to see Sky walk into his room. “You okay?” He quietly shut the door.

Why do you care?! “Yeah,” Kevin mumbled, forcing himself to lie. How could he be okay?

“You don’t have to lie to me.” Kevin just gave Sky a confused look. With a sigh, Sky joined him on the bed, but kept his distance. “I don’t see how you sit there quietly, taking his crap.”

“There’s not much I can say to him.”

There was an awkward moment of silence. “What happened to you in Biology today? Get sick?”

“No, nothing happened.”

“Why won’t you tell me?” He was obviously irritated.

“Why are you in here? You’ve been avoiding me ever since –“ Kevin’s words cut off.

Sky stared at him, “Geez, I’m sorry for actually caring about you.” He slammed the door as he angrily stormed out of Kevin’s room.

“What?” Kevin stared after Sky, confused. He quickly sent Sky a text. ‘YOU care about ME?’

‘Maybe a little. Just forget it.’

‘Forget it?’

‘You know, I’m not a total heartless bastard.’

‘I never said you were!’

‘Why surprised then?’

‘I don’t know….’

‘You should pay better attention to me because you’ve got me all wrong.’

‘I have been paying attention to you! You…. Frustrate me so bad!’

‘Why?’

‘I don’t get you! Why can’t you just come out and say things?’

‘I shouldn’t have to spell everything out for you! Take a hint!’

‘I need you to tell me what’s going on. You’ve confused the hell out of me.’

‘No, just forget it.’

‘Sky!’ There was no answer. Kevin chucked his phone across the room and buried his head into his pillow. Trying to figure out Sky was a pain in the ass!

“So did your dad ground you?” Kevin sat outside during lunch with Katlyn, Derrick and Bruce.

“No he was too pissed to ground me.” Bruce left for the bathroom leaving him to talk about Sky.

“Anything new with Sky?” Katlyn asked. Kevin told them about the confusing fight and read the text messages.

“He is so in love with you.” Derrick laughed.

“Yes!” Katlyn agreed.

“No, I doubt it.”

“Why is it so hard to believe?” Derrick crossed his arms.

“Because…. He hates me. He can’t stand me!” Frustration leaked into Kevin’s words.

“That’s probably not true. I think he just has his own weird ways of dealing with it.” Katlyn offered.

“I don’t know.” Kevin shook his head. “I hate this. I don’t know how to deal with this.”

“I think,” Katlyn began, “me and Derrick should come over this weekend. We can figure something out.” Derrick nodded.

“Alright.” Kevin sighed, rubbing his temples. “Have I screwed this up?”

“Yeah, but I think Sky made that easy for you.” Derrick pats his shoulder, attempting to comfort him.

Friday came, Kevin, Katlyn and Derrick sat at the kitchen table just looking at each other. They had discussed Sky, but now just waited for an opportunity. “Who said you could have friends over?” Dave’s voice came out of no where scaring the teenagers.

Kevin tried to stand up for himself, “No none said I couldn’t.”

“Dave what is going on?” His stepmother entered the room.

“Did you tell him he could have friends over? With those grades?” He yelled, not really asking.

“Actually, Mr. Keeling,” Katlyn quietly spoke up, “We were here to help him with school. “Sky appeared with a dirty bowl, but hesitated as soon as he saw everyone.

“Like I believe that.” His father huffed.

“It’s true.” Derrick said.

Dave pointed a finger at Kevin, “You need to straighten up your act. Stop being such a fucking baby.”

“That’s it,” Sky chucked his bowl at the sink, almost missing. “You need to get out.” Sky stopped short of standing directly in front of his stepfather.

“What did you say to me?”

“Get. Out.”

“It’s my house!” He shouted.

“You don’t need to be talking to your son that way.” Sky pointed at Kevin.

“I will talk to him however I want.”

“Some father you are.” Dave angrily grabbed Sky’s shirt, but he quickly shoved him across the kitchen. “Don’t touch me.” Dave’s back hit the wall.

“Julie, control your kid or I’m going to kick his ass.” Sky snorted.

“Dave, you need to leave and cool down.” Julie sided with her son. Dave stormed out of the house and Julie ran after him. Sky looked at the three surprised teenagers, but quickly looked away. Leaving the room, he took two stairs at a time going to his room.

“Go.” Katlyn whispered giving Kevin a shove.

Kevin quickly ran up the stairs and caught Sky as he was about to shut his door. “Wait,” Kevin stopped him.

“What?” He was angry.

“…….Thank you.”

“You don’t deserve to be treated that way. You don’t have to thank me.”

“Yes I do.”

They were silent. “You’re welcome.” He shut the door.

Kevin joined his friends, “So much for that.” He sat down. “He’s never stood up for me before.”

“Showing his love for you?” Katlyn suggested. We laughed. “text him.”

‘Seriously, thank you.’ Kevin sent the text.

They waited a couple of minutes, all squished together to see the texts. ‘Seriously, you’re welcome. Lol. ?’

“Wow, he smiled in text.” Derrick laughed.

Sky sent another message, ‘I have a question.’

‘Ok…waiting!’

‘Do you like that Derrick guy?’

The teenagers laughed softly together. ‘Hell no!! Plus he’s straight!’

‘Oh….ok.’

‘Why?’

‘Just….curious.’

‘Umm, why though?’

‘*sigh* Do we have to go through this? Can’t we just leave it at I’m curious?’

‘Yes and NO! Cause that’s not a real answer.’

‘You’re right. Lol’

‘Then let’s hear your real answer.’

They waited impatiently, ‘It’s more fun this way.’

‘Sky!’

‘Lol. Kevin, I’M JEALOUS! That clear enough for you? :)I was worried you liked him.’ Kevin’s jaw dropped.

“Oh my gosh.” Katlyn gasped.

‘Yes….umm. Thank you.’

‘Lol. Need me to spell anything else out for you?’

‘Sure! Why are you jealous?’

‘That’s a stupid question. :) Figure it out.’

Kevin covered his face as he started to blush. “So he does like me?”

“Pretty sure.” Katlyn confirmed.

Later that night, Kevin and his friends moved up his room. “Bathroom break.” Kevin left his door cracked, but when he turned around, Sky was leaving the bathroom. “Oh, hey.”

“Hey,” Sky laughed. “How’s it going?”

“Good I guess. You?”

“Could be better.”

“Oh?”

Sky sighed, “We need to talk or I might go insane.”

“I’ve already lost my mind.”

Sky chuckled, “Question….. why did you push me away that night?”

“I thought I was being used? I don’t know…. Just freaked out. Sorry.”

“Just to clear everything up,” Sky stepped closer to Kevin. “I was NOT using you.”

“Oh, that’s good to know.”

“You don’t like me, do you?” Disappointment crossed his face.

“I didn’t say that!”

“Well, there for awhile I thought you did like me, but ever since you pushed me away…. I’m back to thinking you hate me.”

“I do not hate you, Sky. That doesn’t even make sense.”

All of the sudden, Kevin was pressed up against the wall. Sky was very close with hands pressed to the wall on either side of Kevin. “How do you feel about me then?”

Kevin’s cheeks burned, “Umm, I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?”

“I do know it’s just…. Tell me how you feel about me. I think you owe me.” Kevin smiled.

Sky looked into his eyes, “Kevin, I’m insanely in love with you.” They didn’t say anything, just looked into each other’s eyes. Kevin couldn’t fight it anymore, tears fell freely. Feeling embarrassed, he looked away. “What are you crying?” Sky forced him to look into his worried eyes.

“You’re such a jerk.” Kevin’s voice wavered for a moment.

Sky gave him a weak smile. “I know. I’m sorry. I wanted to tell you, but I was worried you might hate me.”

“Sky, I let you see me naked.” He laughed a little.

“Yeah….so, how do you feel about me?” Sky wiped Kevin’s face dry.

“I love you….a lot.” Kevin struggled with keeping his eyes on Sky.

“Can I kiss you now?” They laughed, but when Sky leaned in, Kevin stopped him.

“I feel weird doing this in the hall.”

“Come to my room.” Sky drug Kevin into his room, locking the door behind him.

“Umm…. Katlyn and Derrick are in my room waiting for me to come back.”

“Just a couple minutes with you? Please?” Sky gave him puppy eyes. Kevin couldn’t help but smirk at his wanting step brother.

“Fine, but I can’t stay in here.” Kevin had a bad feeling after he said that. He probably wouldn’t want to leave in a couple of minutes. Sky took his time sliding his hands around Kevin’s waist, coming around to wrap them protectively around him. Kevin’s whole face lit up as his heart leaped. Sky’s forehead just rested against his and he let out a long breath. Not knowing what to do, Kevin put his arms around Sky’s neck.

“Sneak into my room tonight?” Sky almost begged.

“Sure.” Sky tilted his head, firmly pressed his lips to Kevin’s. Sky kissed him slowly and lovingly for a few seconds then sighed. “What’s wrong?” Maybe he didn’t like the kiss.

“Stay with me.” His voice was low and his eyes stared deeply into Kevin’s.

“I can’t.” Kevin felt guilty, he should stay with Sky, but he wouldn’t be able to enjoy it knowing his friends were waiting on him.

“Fine.” He playfully shoved Kevin away.

“Bye, Jerk.” Kevin gave him a smile as he walked away.
