I glanced at Lukas, speaking quietly so no one else could hear us.

“What’s up with you two? I know you guys had a fight last night.”

He shrugged, not bothering to look at me.

“Nothing that I know of.”

I rolled my eyes and stood up, kissing the top of his head and running my fingers through the black strands with affection.

I’d have to wait for him to come to me and talk, I guessed.

“Whatever. You’re acting just as weird as he is. I’ll see you later.”

His arm suddenly shot out and wrapped around my waist, stopping me from leaving.

“Hang on, let me walk you to your car.”

“So, you’re going to talk about it?” I asked sweetly, a grunt of annoyance coming from him in response.

I smiled as he shoved the rest of his lunch into his mouth before following me, taking my hand and giving it a squeeze as we walked through the school.

Once away from people, he let out a sigh.

“Jense wants to take it further already.”

“Take what further?” I asked, a snort leaving him as he kept his eyes ahead.

“You know what I’m talking about, Aurora.”

I looked up at him, raising an eyebrow.

“Like, he wants to go on a date and get serious, or he wants to fuck?”

“He wants to mess around more,” he bit out, a frown of confusion crossing my face.

“So, you’re mad at him?”

He shook his head as we walked up the steps, his tone dropping slightly.

“I’m not mad, I just… I don’t know if I want that.”

“Are you nervous, or is it just too gay for you?” I asked curiously, his cheeks flushing with embarrassment.

“A bit of both.”

“Want me to play around with you differently for a night to get you used to it?” I offered casually, a sudden nervous laugh taking over his voice.

“That’s just fucking weird, Rory.”

“Not really. It isn’t gay if I do stuff to you. Then at least you can work up to Jense doing things to you. Are you staying with him tonight?”

“Probably.”

“I’ll talk to him, okay? I’ll tell him to slow down and to do something that isn’t too full on. Maybe you could just jack each other or something to start with?” I shrugged, making him glare at me as his hand tightened around mine.

“Keep your voice down.”

“No one’s around, Luke. Seriously, take it slow and stop freaking yourself out, okay? He’s your best friend, so you know he’d understand if you needed to stop.”
