The magical life of the not so magical Theodore Ward (bxb)

Chapter Four

Theodore practically always locked his bedroom door, but maybe he should take more precautions and barricade it next time because his family held no regards for privacy (or locked doors, apparently) whatsoever.

Now, Theodore had only been sleeping, however, walking into a 17 year old boy’s room like his brother had- without any type of warning- could have turned out to be a not so pleasant experience for either of them on any other given day.

“Rise and shine, Teddy.”

Theodore groaned and stuck his middle finger up from under the covers.

“Charming,” Silas remarked with a chuckle, and Theodore raised his other.  

“You can shove those where the sun doesn't shine and make sure you're ready in thirty.”

Theodore dropped his arms, “Ready for what, exactly?” he mumbled tiredly.

“Social interaction and physical activities.”

“I don't think I'll ever be ready for that, sorry.”

“Look. I don't want to have to beg you to come, because frankly, if you're going to be a little brat I don't even want you to. However, mom told me to take you with us, because you haven't left the house in over a week, you freaking hermit, so here we are.”

“If you’re trying to get me to leave the house, the promise of physical exercise really isn't going to cut it.”  

Silas groaned in frustration, “Then you don't, you lazy fuck. We're going to the cliff so you can just relax by the water.”

That didn't sound too bad, and maybe a change of scenery would be nice. He found himself reluctantly agreeing to go.
——————————-—
He wished he hadn't, because it had led to a small predicament. His body and mind had betrayed him the moment his eyes had landed on Gabriels naked torso. It wasn't the first time he’d seen him shirtless (he’d been impressed but otherwise unaffected), so perhaps it were the water droplets slowly making their way down his body, that made his body react the way it did.

It didn’t matter. He was hard, ashamed of himself and also, a goddamn pervert.

Theodore’s innocent-let’s call it by its name- crush, wasn't so innocent anymore. It had manifested itself in a carnal way and was hard to deny, and at that moment, practicality impossible to ignore.

He figured the cool water could solve his current situation, and if not, he could simply go drown himself in it. The latter option sounded like a more tempting yet slightly more radical solution. He decided to wait and see how the rest afternoon would progress before making any rash decisions.

Not too sure what to make of this chapter apart from the obvious, but hope you enjoyed it. (it was a bit awkward for me to write, but hopefully not too awkward for you to read, aha) I would love to hear your thoughts! Thank you for reading :)
