Unpredictable Match 2

Twenty

"Aw," he smiles and hides his face by turning towards the window.

"It ain't aw, you distracting me from graduating," Anthony jokes.

"Shut up," he turned his body back towards Anthony and lightly hits him.

The remainder of the ride is full of playful banter between the two boys. When they reach Cameron's apartment, Anthony parks right in front getting ready to bring Cameron up to his door. He gets out of the car and opens the passenger side up for Cameron.

"Thank you," Cameron smiles as Anthony grabs his book bag from him and wears it in the frontwards direction.

"Get on my back," Anthony stands still, waiting for Cameron to get onto his back. Cameron giggles and tries to jump up onto Anthony's back, eventually getting a grip and climbing up the rest of the way. He rests his face on Anthony's shoulder, smiling in delight. Every time he's with Anthony, he always manages to make him feel like he's on top of the world. He enjoys every little moment with him, like this one.

Anthony walks in the direction of the building, both of them getting strange stares from strangers. But, they were too caught up in each other to notice anyone else.

"Take the elevator, where are you going," Cameron asks as Anthony passes the three elevators and goes in the direction of the staircase. "You can't walk up all those stairs like this, let me down," he protests. Anthony dismisses him and on his own terms makes his way up the stairs.

"I'm tryna spend more time with you." Anthony admits, now on the fourth flight of stairs with thirty more to go. Cameron sighs, at this point being reminded that he is absolutely, positively, deeply in love with Anthony. He hasn't admitted it to Anthony yet due to fear of him not feeling the same way. And he doesn't want to ruin this relationship for anything. But he'd be lying to himself if he said he wasn't crazy in love with Anthony and stayed up late nights daydreaming about him.

Anthony is now on the twelfth flight of stairs.

"Aren't you tired?"

"You ever seen me tired from physical shit?" He replies. Cameron thinks for a second.

"No, but—"

"Shh, you thinking too much."

Cameron shushes, and decides to enjoy the way up with his boyfriend. He secretly takes multiple deep inhales of his skin, Anthony's natural body scent being one of his favorite smells.

"You wanna meet my parents today? You should," Cameron asks, realizing today would be a good time since he is here already.

"Nah, not today baby. I got some shit I gotta do after I drop you off."

"Please? Only for a minute. They really want to meet you formally."

"No."

Cameron sighs, "alright, another time." He's a little bit disappointed, but he won't pry too much into it because he knows if he does, Anthony will get irritated. He's been trying to get Anthony to meet his parents for months, but Anthony has been purposely avoiding meeting them "formally". He's never been in a situation where he had to have a potential sit down and talk with someone else's parents. And, he's seen what happens with the father and the boyfriend. And if Cameron's father says something slick, or something meant to be a threat, he knows he won't receive the threat as a joke, rather as a literal threat. With his anger issues, he won't react well and he doesn't want things to be awkward for Cameron. So, he rather keep his distance.
