XAVIER ROCKWELLQuietly tapping on Jordi’s computer, I suddenly had the urge to stand up and fix my package. I just had a hard on that’s way beyond my control and I’m embarrassed that Jordi might notice it when he returns. I quickly slid it off to the side and then sat back.I don’t want to admit it but I’m getting really transfixed by this gorgeous creature that’s Jordi. It was just a simple touch but there’s no denying the magic that it had cast upon me. When he traced the veins in my hand, I really felt a jolt of electricity run a full course through my body. The feral predator inside of me had its fangs and claws out and I just want to slam this angel onto the bed and take him. I want him in my skin so freaking bad but I just had to keep my hands to myself. Maybe for now and maybe for the next few hours, although I don’t know if I could take it. He told me that I could stay for the night and just by thinking about the things that I want to do with him, of the things that I want to

XAVIER ROCKWELLOpening my eyes and setting my sight on the person that I enjoy cuddling with made complete sense with my fantasy. This is way too good to be true but the universe hasn’t been that good to me so I know I deserve it. For years and years, I’ve been hoping for someone who would love me for whatever I am, regardless if I was a total asshole and here he is, still in deep slumber right beside me.I stared at Jordi’s serene face and thought, maybe the universe has some other plans for me. I used to bully this guy just for being openly proud of himself not fully realizing the underlying truth that I was actually attracted to him. I have suppressed that part of me because I just thought it wasn’t real, that I can’t be attracted to men. I just realized it now that there have been some occasions in my life where I was truly attracted to boys.The first time it happened was when I was nine, my mom took me to the mall for her weekly dose of shopping. I would very much say that she’

JORDI ADKINSI sat on my usual chair during sex ed. and for the most part, Xavier and I kept on exchanging stolen glances between each other. It’s as if we were both secretly in love and we just don’t want to admit it. That’s crazy to think of but that’s how things are basically rolling off right now. It was pretty much difficult to be in the same room as the person you love but you can’t even express how you feel about that person. But what can I do? This is what I agreed to and while it’s restricting, I’m still glad to have Xavier in my life.How would I describe this pulsating feeling? I was initially against the idea but when I finally understood Xavier, I finally realized it’s pretty hard to be so out and proud while the other one’s still pretty much hiding in the closet. It’s like a classic story of homosexuals falling in love while the world is completely against their entire existence. No matter how far the community has progressed in the recent decade, still, it isn’t enough

JORDI ADKINSI couldn’t bring myself to sleep the night that I came home from the hospital. I’m still shaking on the inside even after everything has gone down to a calm. Though he was already stable and was rescued from the brink of death, Xavier was still unconscious when my mom showed up to pick me up. As much as I want to stay the night and watch for the poor guy, his dad was there for him and I thought I wouldn’t be that person.In this universe, I guess there’s always this wide empty room for this certain thing called forgiveness. Only a few people are using that room, I guess. I was just reeling in about this certain thought in my head about Xavier forgiving his father. This is probably a chance given by the universe. I’m not saying I’m trying to invalidate Xavier’s feelings about his old man. Of course his pain and anger are very much valid no matter what sort of perspective you are trying to view it from, however, the clear question is up until when? Until when is he going to

XAVIER ROCKWELL I woke up in a daze or so that’s how I felt the moment I opened my eyes. My head’s feeling a little cranky, my vision was fuzzy and for some reasons, I feel like I’m floating on mid-air. It felt like I just had the longest slumber of my life and I was erratically confused to wake up in my bed at our tiny little apartment. I took some time breathe in and breathe out and then I suddenly heard a loud screaming and banging coming from the outside. I slowly propped myself up and sat on the bed as I quickly noticed myself dressed in a hospital gown. I slowly got up and then walking seemed like the easiest as if there’s some sort of wind carrying my own weight. When I brought myself outside to check on the ruckus, I was stupefied to see my mom and Hector going at each other’s throat. They were both yelling at the top of their lungs seemingly arguing about something I can’t even be
