Sage

I paced my apartment, phone clutched in my hand, eyes darting between the screen and the window like staring at the night sky would somehow make my messages go through.

Nothing.

Every call went straight to voicemail. Every text remained unread.

Either he was avoiding me or he was so busy but I would bet good money on the latter.

And I had no one to blame but myself.

I disrespected him by leaving without a word, without even a proper excuse. Just stormed off, letting my anger and frustration dictate my actions. I knew better than that, I wasn’t some impulsive kid who threw tantrums. But God, I had been so mad.

Not even at the professor.

At Kaiden. At Ethan.

The two of them had collaborated to make my evening miserable. Especially Kaiden, where does he get off calling me a liar.

He is the one who had manipulated me, he was just mad that I also did it to him. It doesn’t even help that I left him behind with the professor.

He must have said a lot to him behind my back, another desper

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   Cat out of the bag

    KaidenI woke up alone.At first, I thought maybe I was still dreaming. That the warmth, the scent, the feel of last night had been nothing but a cruel trick of my subconscious.But the ache in my body and the faint scent of cologne on the sheets told me otherwise.I blinked up at the ceiling, my heart thudding against my ribs as the weight of what I had done settled in.I had slept with him.With the professor.With Sage’s professor.I sat up abruptly, running a hand down my face. What the fuck was I thinking?What had I been trying to prove? That I could get under his skin? That I could mark my place in Sage’s life in some twisted, backward way?It was fucked up because I felt like I was closer to him now. Now that we have slept with the same man, then maybe he would see how inlove with him I am.I scrubbed a hand through my hair, exhaling sharply. The worst part was, I didn’t even regret it.Not the way I should have.I spotted his shirt on the floor and pulled it over my head befo

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   The end of the road

    KaidenNeither of us spoke.Then the front door opened again.We both turned at the same time, just as the professor stepped inside.His eyes flicked between us, taking in the situation and then, he shook his head. As if this entire mess was nothing more than an inconvenience to him.Like we haven’t been discovered, we broke Sage’s heart. He didn’t say a word as he dropped his keys onto the counter and toed off his shoes, moving around the space like this was just another ordinary evening.Sage, however, wasn’t having it.“You have nothing to say for yourself?” The professor barely spared him a glance. “Nope.”Sage’s eyes widened. “Are you serious right now?”The professor sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. “Look, I could say something, but I have a feeling you have a lot more to say than I do.”His jaw tightened. “Unbelievable.”I stood there, stiff, hands clenched at my sides. I wanted to say something to diffuse the situation but my tongue felt heavy in my mouth.Sage let out

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   What’s left to say?

    SageI shivered the second as I stepped out of the professor’s house, but it was nothing compared to the numbness spreading inside me. My hands clenched into fists at my sides, my pulse pounding in my ears. The world outside made me so angry like reality was mocking me for ever thinking I could be happy.Kaiden followed me, his footsteps hurried as he struggled to keep up. He had finally worn his clothes despite the shame coating his cheeks. The professor kept staring at us with those cold eyes and I wondered when everything changed.He just changed and the warmth he looked at me with was suddenly nowhere to be found.It was just gone.Kaiden was still lingering behind me, waiting for me to say something. I couldn’t even find it in me to look him in the eye without feeling disgusted with him.So I decided to walk, I didn’t slow down and I didn’t look back either. I couldn’t.“Sage, wait—”I ignored him.“Please, just—listen to me!”Silence.“You owe me that respect at least. Just lis

    KaidenBy the time I stumbled back into my apartment, I was already drowning in a storm of emotions I couldn’t control. My head was heavy, my thoughts tangled, and my heart. if I could even still call it that felt hollow.I tried to shake it off. I tried to tell myself I was fine, that Sage ignoring me wasn’t the end of the world, that I didn’t need his approval, his friendship, or even his acknowledgment. But the lie felt weak. I had always thought that no matter what happened, Sage and I would always be something to each other.But now?He had disowned me.He had rejected me again and again, declaring that nothing could ever make him speak to me again. He proved it by walking off despite me calling him over and over again.He left me standing there, feeling stupid and letting the guilt eat me up alive. I didn’t know what to feel or do at that moment because I felt so shitty, I couldn't even stand myself.The words replayed in my mind over and over again, burning like acid. Burning t

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   Late in the night

    KaidenI took another step, desperate to leave this entire night behind me, to pretend none of this had happened.Embarassment was wearing me down as if it was a heavy cloak that I wore. But my legs wouldn’t move.A sick, twisting feeling settled deep in my gut, anchoring me to the spot. It was a selfish thought, a fucking thought shouldn’t have crossed my mind but it did.I kept wondering why he sent me away because the last time I checked, we had a good time when we fucked and he was just going to turn me away.My fists clenched at my sides as I turned back sharply, eyes locking onto his very annoying unbothered expression.“Do you still like Sage?” I demanded, “Is that why you’re refusing me?”His jaw tightened, but his face remained impassive. “That’s none of your business.”“It is my business,” I snapped. “It’s very much my business because Sage is my best friend.”A dry chuckle left his lips. “Your best friend?” he repeated, his voice dripping in mockery. “If you were really hi

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   Stolen Kisses

    KaidenI rubbed my hand up and down his back as he hiccuped, his body trembling against mine. He was hurting. Again.And yet again, here I was, comforting him.It sucked.It sucked because every single time, my own feelings got buried, shoved aside like they didn’t matter.Because to him, they didn’t.I poured out my heart to him and all he could say was for me to go to hell but here he was, in my arms sobbing like a baby because he was hurt.I was tired of this shit.I sucked in a deep breath and stepped back.His head snapped up instantly, eyes bleary and confused. “Why did you stop?”I shook my head. “I don’t know,” I admitted. Then, before he could say anything, I added, “You can handle yourself from here on.”His brows furrowed. “You’re leaving?” His voice was quiet, but there was something sharp beneath it.I crossed my arms. “Isn’t that what you wanted?” I asked, tilting my head. “To get rid of me? Well, I’m leaving. You don’t need me and you don’t need anybody so take care.”H

    KaidenI heaved a sigh of relief the second I slammed my door. I ripped my shirt off my body and I started to calm down.No, that was a lie.I was fucking furious.How dare he? He didn’t want to be alone? Then he should go stay with his fathers, the fuck?Okay, now I was seething. I didn’t even think I could feel this magnitude of anger for the person I valued most but when he made me a second option, I lost it.Come to think of it, he has been doing that a lot. Whenever he and the professor were not getting along, even if it was because of me, he would remember me.Use me.And I would foolishly take it because let’s face it, I was that stupid. I took off my pants and tried to get the damn thoughts out of my bed before my night ended up getting worse.I have already embarrassed myself so I don’t think it could get any more worse than that. I was about to tuck in bed when my door flew open , I crouched to a fighting position with my eyes so wide that it would have shot lasers.I carr

    KaidenI ran a hand through my hair, staring at my phone screen.A single name sat there in my contacts after I searched it.River.I had already slept with Sage. It should have been enough. I should have been satisfied, exhausted and spent. But instead, something burned inside me, something restless, something unsatisfied.I left him there because I was angry at myself, I didn’t want that. I didn’t like the control even when I got it again. I wanted to submit. Ever since I got a taste of it, it’s been what I wanted to do.I certainly wished the professor took me up on that offer. I knew he was the exact person to give me what I needed.And I knew exactly what I needed to do.With a smirk curling on my lips, I hit the call button.It barely rang twice before he picked up. “What do you want, Kaiden?”Straight to the point. Typical.He didn’t even ask me how I got his number. With the amount of things he knew I had done, getting his number was on the least of it all.I leaned back on m

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   Changing room

    SageIt was entirely unfair for someone like Amir to be real. Tall, lean, with chiseled features that looked like they belonged on a movie poster rather than in a security file, and a voice that dripped with smooth, practiced calm. He was the kind of handsome that made your thoughts scatter just a little if you looked at him for too long.And I was doing exactly that.“Mr. Amir, right?” I asked, extending a hand, hoping my voice didn’t tremble like my fingers did. “I’m Sage.”He nodded, his grip firm but not overbearing. “I know. It’s a pleasure.”He smiled and I don’t mean the empty kind people give when they’re on duty. It was warm. Polite. And it made my stomach flip in a way I hadn’t expected.But as he turned toward the room, I caught sight of Kaiden and the professor.Both of them were glaring.I blinked.Kaiden’s jaw was tight, eyes narrowed like he was assessing a threat he didn’t like the look of. The professor, arms crossed, stood with the energy of a man who’d already decid

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   Mr Amir

    KaidenWhen Martin dropped me in front of the professor’s house. I barely waited for him to drive off before I dug out my phone. My fingers hovered over the screen for a moment before I hit Bryan’s name.He was the only one who was making an attempt to help me right now. He answered on the second ring, his voice calm and clipped, like always.“Kaiden?”“Yeah, it’s me.” I moved to the far side of the room, away from the windows, and lowered my voice. “Something weird’s going on. I need to tell you about it.”“What kind of weird?” His tone sharpened immediately.I told him everything. The prepaid boutiques. The law firm. The condo being bought out. The way no one could or would tell me who was behind it. I could practically hear him frowning on the other end of the line.“You think it’s Sage?” he asked quietly.“No,” I said quickly, too quickly. “I don’t know. I mean—I don’t want to think that. And it’s not the professor either. I know that much. They would tell me if they are trying

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   Mr Anonymous

    KaidenI stared at the silver-trimmed envelope resting on the counter between the professor and me like it was some kind of explosive. The award ceremony. My name was on the guest list, of course. It had to be. I was the damn honoree.“I have my own invite, thanks to my connections,” the professor said casually, leaning against the kitchen counter. He swirled his coffee slowly, watching the dark liquid spiral. “But I think Sage should go with you.”Sage, sitting cross-legged on the couch and peeling a tangerine, looked up with a sheepish smile. “Would that be okay with you?”I didn’t even think about it before I answered. “No.”Their expressions changed almost instantly, surprise flickered across the professor’s features and Sage’s smile faltered.“It’s enough that Sage’s already in the spotlight,” I said, trying to keep my voice even, my words reasonable. “With the way everyone’s been talking and taking photos, I don’t want to put him in harm’s way, more than I already have. If you

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   No more waiting

    Kaiden The clock on the bedside read 3:12 a.m. I rolled onto my side, confused by the soft glow seeping under the bedroom door. I blinked the sleep from my eyes, and when I looked over, Sage was still fast asleep beside me, his breathing steady and rhythmic. I reached out, touched his hair lightly, then slid out of bed. The hallway was silent except for the distant hum of the fridge and the occasional rustle of the wind brushing the windows. I padded barefoot across the wood floor, and as I neared the living room, the scent of whiskey hit me first. That, and the sound of papers being shuffled with irritation more than purpose. The soft overhead light in the corner cast a gold sheen across the professor’s back. He was hunched over the coffee table, glass of whiskey in one hand, papers spread out like an autopsy, calm chaos wrapped in tension. He didn’t look up when I entered. “You’re still awake?” I asked, keeping my voice low. “I have work to do,” he said, not looking at me. His

    KaidenI watched Sage’s chest rise and fall steadily, his breathing finally even and calm after a long, exhausting day. The faint hum of the heater filled the small apartment as the evening air drifted colder through the windows. He looked peaceful in sleep, peaceful in a way that didn’t match anything we’d been living through lately. It was a lie his body told, one I was grateful for, even if I knew it wouldn’t last. The last thing I needed was for him to keep worrying about the unknown.Today took a toll on him.I sat at the edge of the couch, elbows resting on my knees, hands folded, but my thoughts weren’t still. They kept drifting back to the question he asked earlier about whether we’d ever go back to how things were. And now I knew for certain: we couldn’t. Not with this storm closing in around us, not when every time I let my guard down, something tried to take Sage from me.I haven’t even figured out how to apologize to the professor, it took me a lot of thinking to realize

    SageThe next morning, Kaiden and I walked to school in silence. The meal we shared was so brief and he stayed with me. The professor didn’t come home and when I called him, he said he was working late and we should enjoy ourselves.I knew it was because he didn’t want to spend time with Kaiden. After their argument, they have been tense with each other.I didn’t want to Interfere in their problems as it could escalate into something I wouldn’t be able to control.I looked at Kaiden, I know we have already talked about this but I was so curious.I wanted to ask him again about where he’d really been that day, but the tension in his jaw warned me off. Still, I couldn’t help myself. “So,” I started, kicking a loose pebble on the sidewalk, “you never really told me where you went. Like, actually went.” His steps didn’t falter, but his grip tightened around the strap of his backpack. “I told you. I needed to clear my head.” “Yeah, but that could mean anything,” I pressed. “You just

    SageI stood just outside the hospital’s main entrance, staring at the parking lot like it was a war zone. The discharge papers were crumpled slightly in my grip. I could feel my fingers tremble, but I didn’t loosen them. The sun was bright, the day clear, but I felt like I was standing in the middle of a fog, one that hadn’t lifted since I was attacked.Kaiden mentioned he would come and pick me up, hence the hesitation. I felt like if he wasn’t here to do that, I wouldn’t go. “Ready?” His voice pulled me out of my head.I turned toward him. He had one hand in his pocket, the other adjusting the strap of my duffel bag slung over his shoulder. His hair was a little messy, like he hadn’t even bothered with a brush this morning, and his hoodie looked slept in. But his eyes, his eyes were alert. “I don’t know if ready’s the word I’d use,” I admitted. My voice sounded too thin to my own ears. “I feel like I’m being pushed out of safety and right back into the middle of whatever this me

  • The Professor Wants Me and So Does My Bestfriend   Beneath the surface

    KaidenI slept at my place after the detective dropped me off. He was looking at me like he had a lot to say about what happened but I didn’t.Yes, I overreacted but I couldn’t go back there. I felt suffocated and the only thing I needed was freedom. I needed to find my answers and not let it extend to my relationship.I decided to go see Detective Bryan. The man in charge of narcotics. The one who might know what the hell was really going on. I hadn’t told Sage or the professor anything. Not yet. I couldn’t, not until I had something real. Something more than just paranoia and late-night shadows tailing me.I sat hunched over my laptop in a dingy little café two blocks from my apartment, the place reeking of burnt espresso and desperation. I typed in “Detective Bryan, Narcotics Division, city PD” and hit search. A few articles came up. He was decorated, involved in several high-profile raids. One article had a photo, square jaw, stern face, early forties. Not someone you’d expect to

    SageI woke to silence. Not the peaceful kind, the kind that sets your skin crawling with dread, like the air itself is holding its breath. The clock on the wall read a little past 3am and I could see the shadows stretched along the floor, motionless. I looked around and noticed with a slight disappointment that Kaiden wasn’t here. I blinked twice and turned my head toward the small couch across the room. No professor either.My heart sank.They were gone. Both of them.I have never felt so alone. I thought they would both stay with me so I won’t be scared. But I was a big boy and could handle myself.I sat up slowly, the sheets slipping off my chest as I scanned the dim room. Maybe they went for a walk. Maybe Kaiden needed air and the professor tagged along. Maybe I was being paranoid.Or maybe something was very, very wrong.I was about to slide out of bed when the doorknob turned.I froze.The door creaked open, and the harsh fluorescent light from the hallway spilled into the r
