ONE EYED BOY [C. Grimes][Rarl]

video games

Warnings: PDA

I'm transfixed. Bewitched. I always was, but not how I feel in this moment, with his shoulder inches from mine and his chocolate brown eyes fixated upon the screen that is only a few feet in front of our faces. I hear my characters cry of anguish issue from the speaker, but I am not paying attention to the video game. My focus is upon the boy's dark blond curls that crown is face so flawlessly. Even his small imperfections, like the small scars on his hands, spots of acne, and the scent of sour morning breath; it all makes my bones ache with longing. I crave his touch and affection, but I am afraid to ask for it. My chosen character has fallen and he turns to me with a grin that could soften even the coldest man's heart.

"I beat you again, Grimes!"

I nod. The crack in his voice makes me hungry, hungry to know the taste of his lips trapped between my teeth. I don't know why I think these things about someone who only considers me a friend. I don't act upon them either, but only rise to my feet and make a claim for the restroom. I need a moment to breath; to sort my thoughts out.
