The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend Sabotage
RiverI called Sage five times.No answer.The dinner reservation was already past the grace period, and Kaiden sat across from me in the restaurant booth, staring at his untouched drink. The candle between us flickered between us."Did you text him again?" He asked, brows furrowed, jaw tight."I did," I said. "Sent the address too. No reply."He tapped the edge of the table with impatient fingers. "This isn’t like him. Even when he's mad, he at least replies."I nodded. My stomach was turning, a slow spiral of unease growing heavier by the second. “He isn't still mad, is he? I thought we were past this. Is this the reason he demanded space for his finals?” I asked, a little enraged that I was just learning of this now.Kaiden shook his head, “No, he said we were cool. He just didn't want to get distracted while studying at home.”I took that in, if that wasn't the case then why wasn't he answering. I met Kaiden's eyes and a sense of dread filled me at the fear I saw in them.I stood
The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend Party pooper
SageI never really had friends.Not the kind that texted me just to say they missed me or invited me to brunch without an ulterior motive. I had classmates, lab partners, people I exchanged polite nods with in the hallway but no one whose name sat at the top of my contacts list with hearts beside it. Especially now that everyone was treating me like I had herpes. There were no nods or looks of acknowledgement from other students since the rumor. I told myself I was fine with that. That I didn’t need the extra attention. I had Kaiden and Professor, and that should’ve been enough. But some days… some days, these days especially, the silence felt like it had teeth.It was the week before finals. Luckily, the professor pulled some strings to get me a space in the university dorm since I was so distracted at home. Sure, it was nice to wake up to a home cooked meal and back rubs by my lovers but all those things were making me too relaxed.My desk was a battlefield of notes, highlighter
The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend Quiet departure
RiverThe night was still when I opened my eyes.Both Kaiden and Sage lay tangled beneath the sheets, their breathing slow and even.I watched them for a moment.My boys.How had we come to this fragile calm? What threads had we walked without snapping, and how close had we come to shattering?The floor was cool against my bare feet as I slipped out of bed. I moved quietly, careful not to wake either of them. I pulled on the closest robe and padded into the hallway, not really knowing why. Perhaps I just needed a moment to myself. Or perhaps I felt something shifting in the air.I paused when I saw Elias.He stood near the front door with a duffel bag slung over one shoulder, dressed in jeans and a dark hoodie. His hair was slightly damp, like he'd just showered, and there was a strange, quiet resolve on his face.“You’re leaving,” I said, the words more observation than question.He turned and offered me a small, tired smile. “Yeah. I think it’s time.”I took a step forward, folding
The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend Just the three of us
River He blinked like he hadn’t expected to be put in the spotlight. “I’m fine.” “You’re not,” I said, firmer now. “You’ve been closed off. Distant. And that’s not you.” Kaiden nodded, rubbing Sage’s back lightly. “Tell us.” He hesitated. Then, in a voice barely above a whisper, he finally spoke. “People at school found out about us… about me. They know I’m seeing you. And Kaiden.” My chest tightened. “They think I slept my way into grades. They think I’m…” he trailed off, voice cracking. “They think I’m the reason Malik got beat up. They’ve been calling me names. Sending me messages. Avoiding me.” I sat up straighter. “What?” Kaiden’s mouth parted. “Sage…” “I didn’t want to tell you,” he whispered, eyes downcast. “Because I knew what you’d do.” He was right. Every cell in my body screamed to retaliate. To show up at that school and burn every shred of their toxic rumors to ash. But I took a breath and swallowed the heat in my throat. “I get it,” I said quietly. “You didn’t
The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend The Weight of silence
RiverKaiden didn’t wake up until we were pulling into the driveway.He stirred in the backseat, eyes fluttering open like he wasn’t quite sure what year it was. His shirt was still missing, a light blanket tossed over his shoulders. He blinked, groaned lowly, then looked at me through the rearview mirror like I was some ghost he hadn’t expected to see again.I parked, but none of us moved for a second. The engine ticked, cooling down. Outside, the world looked painfully normal. Inside, everything burned.Sage reached back and touched Kaiden’s knee gently. “We’re home.”He didn’t answer. He just exhaled and stepped out of the car without looking at either of us.The walk up the stairs was painfully silent. But the real eruption happened when we walked through the front door.Elias was standing in the kitchen, glass in hand, scrolling through his phone. His presence hit Kaiden like a slap. He stopped in his tracks, jaw clenching, breath shallow.“What the hell is he still doing here?
The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend Fall apart in another's arms
RiverI walked into the apartment just after sunset, my briefcase heavier than usual, even though it only carried papers. The weight wasn’t from the documents. It was from the silence. That thick, dense silence that wraps itself around you like a noose when something is missing.I hated the silence, it was never anything good.I stepped out of my shoes, loosened my tie, and scanned the living room.Empty.The usual sound of him pacing while talking to himself or his favorite show playing in the background wasn’t there. No scent of takeout, no sarcastic remark from the hallway. The place felt… cold.I walked into the kitchen where Elias was sitting with his laptop and a glass of mint tea.“Did Kaiden come home today?” I asked casually, pretending the dread hadn’t started crawling beneath my skin.We hadn't seen each other after the little fight and sleeping in separate bedrooms didn't help. I knew how his brain worked, he was very stubborn and wouldn't want to listen to me.Elias looke
