Crimson and Clover
What little affection Anthony had left for Tilda had completely disappeared. Why would a person do something so horrible? He felt the need to hug those children he had never met.
At least Ash was in good hands.
His internal debate was interrupted by Haku who entered the closet where he was hiding.
-What are you doing here?
-Why would you care?!- Anthony said angrily.
-You're always in a bad mood.- Haku says, feigning a sad face.
-We're close, right?- Anthony asked, trying to relax.
Haku smiled maliciously.
-What do you think?- He said, approaching him and grabbing his ass.
-That's not what I was referring to, idiot. - Anthony pushes him away loosely. -Can I ask you a confidential question, yes or no?
-It depends.- Haku answers casually.
-Do you think there is any way for me to get out of the mafia once I get out of jail?
Haku makes a face and puts on a maniacal smile.
-You still have a long way to go. You'll have to put up with me for more years. Do you already want to get rid of me?
- Answers seriously. I want a life without problems with my son... Well, my children.
- Children?
- I just discovered it.
-Damn.
-And well?
-Well, in prison you are not as important as before, and even then you weren’t that relevant. This mafia is very big, we are barely a puppet in their system. They may let you go without any problems if you don't stand out much these years and you don't ask questions until then.
-I understand. - Anthony nods. -How did you end up here?- He asked curiously.
-Today you are talkative.
-Come on, tell me something. I talk to you about Ashton, sometimes.
Haku sighs. -Fine. My parents were involved in the “business” since before I was born. They weren't very relevant, they were involved in human trafficking and that... Then they made a mistake and they were murdered. So now I have to pay for their debts, so they sent me to work here.
-I'm sorry.
-It could be worse. Forget about silly things.- Haku brought him closer to him and gave him a kiss.
- And what is this then? -Anthony says, breaking the kiss while he smiles.
- This is just sex.
-Yes, sure.- Anthony said with a mocking smile. They both knew that something had changed between them.

Ashton was looking forward to going to class today. It was an emotion he hadn't felt in a long time.
Liam was waiting for him at the entrance of the building.
-Hey.- he smiled at him. Ash approached him and the two stared at each other.
-You look happy today.- Liam tells him.
-You too.
- Wow, you two finally fucked? - Emily appeared out of nowhere.
- Aah!! - Liam was startled, drawing the attention of some students. - Where the hell did you come from? Stop doing that.
- Haha, sorry. So did you or what?
- How did you know that we… ? - Ash asks, surprised.
- That what? Liam gives you puppy eyes and drools every time he sees you. It was kind of obvious.
- I don't do that.- Liam says, blushing.
- I hadn't noticed it. - Ash looks at Liam and smiles at him.
- I'll take that as a yes to fucking.
- We didn't. And it's none of your business.- Liam replied, annoyed.
-Well. I'm happy for you. I guess we can't hook up anymore, right? - She asks Ash.
- Ah…- Ashton hadn't even thought about it. Would Emily be mad at him? Were he and Liam in a relationship? Would everything change or continue as before?
Emily snapped in front of his face. - Hey, don’t drive yourself crazy. I do not care.
Ash nods. The doorbell rings and the three go inside.
-Are we in a relationship?- he asks Liam when they sit down in class.
-Well, we can go slowly, right? But I would prefer it to be exclusive.
-Ok, I agree.
-Good.
They both smile at each other and spend the day looking at each other like fools.

Andrew is lying on Neil's bunk. In the opposite bunk, his boyfriend and Kevin are watching the recording of the foxes' last game.
Andrew watches them, intrigued. Neil and Kevin lie face down together looking at the computer, their legs touching. Neil's ass stands out in the shorts he's wearing, Andrew swallows, he can't look away.
When he pulls his gaze away, he realizes that Kevin Day, the biggest exy junkie in history, isn't even watching the game. Kevin has his eyes on Neil's face, Andrew's boyfriend.
Kevin's chest moves slowly as if looking at Neil takes his breath away. He seems to be memorizing Neil’s face with his eyes, his lips are slightly open and he bites the bottom one when he looks at Neil's.
“Shit,” Andrew thinks. “I have to act once and for all. I don't think I can take this pressure any longer.”
He stands up from the bed. Kevin looks at the computer again when he notices the movement, Neil is still focused on the game.
Andrew discreetly approaches and sits behind the computer. He makes eye contact with Kevin, who swallows nervously. Andrew smiles devilishly and slams the computer shut.
Neil looks up confused, and then looks at Kevin with more confusion when he realizes that Kevin didn't object.
Andrew grabs his boyfriend by the chin and pulls him closer until there are only a few inches of distance between their faces.
-Yes or no?
Neil blinks confused, but doesn't take long to answer.- Yes.
Andrew doesn't waste a second and kisses him passionately. Their tongues touch and fight. Andrew pulls Neil closer and he leans on his shoulders. When Neil moans, Andrew lets go.
Neil has red cheeks and swollen lips. He's looking at Andrew in that way that makes him want to throw him off the roof.
Andrew looks at Kevin satisfied. Kevin is very red, his lips are split, looking between the other two, not knowing what to do.
-Neil. - Andrew says. - Why don't you give Kevin a kiss like that?
-What?- Neil finally comes out of his trance. - I…. Andrew…
-I know you want to and I know he does too.- Andrew interrupts him.
-But Andrew, you and I...- the redhead begins to say.
-I would like to see it.- Andrew responds without any shame.
Neil nods and looks at Kevin. The exy queen is leaning against the wall still looking like she's suffering from a stroke.
Neil gates is even closer. - Yes or no Kev?
-I... Andrew?
-Your choice Queen.
Kevin swallows and answers. -Yeah.
Neil smiles and presses his lips together. At first he gives each other some experimental kisses, separating in each one to make sure the other still wants it. But then they gain confidence and add tongue.
Kevin grabs Neil by the waist and pulls him closer. They end up with Neil straddling Kevin's legs.
Andrew is content watching, for now.
