My room…you know, I don’t spend much time in here, but right now, it’s my only sanctuary. What I did was completely, well, I don’t even want to think about it.
Sometimes I think my heart and well, you know, tend to lead me more than my brain. It’s a costly mistake and now Finn probably hates me.
Sitting on the edge of my bed, I smash my first into my little coffee table, ending up with more pain. I notice this pain hurts less than the kind I feel in my heart.
I felt anger. Anger for Aerrow for making me help Finn in the shower, Finn for being so damn attractive, and of course, myself for being so careless. I tried not to believe it growing up, but…
When the other kids used to make fun of me when I was small, I never knew it extended to a deeper issue: I was gay. By the time I was in my teens, I didn’t have a girlfriend like my male peers. They assumed it was because I always had my nose in a book, or walked along the riverbanks by myself. A nice way of saying I was a purebred nerd. So I lived my life alone; why add fuel to their fire?
When I was fifteen, my world collapsed…or what I had to call a world. The Cyclonians ignited a sudden attack on my people, killing thousands and making all the rest flee. I remember watching my mother and father die at the hands of a man with a smirk on his face, while my brothers, sisters and I watched, screaming.
I remember my Aunt Eunice finding us siblings, my older brother dead next to my parents. I remember her telling me to flee, giving me what I now call my Knuckle Busters. I remember the forced smile, and her telling me to protect myself with these new tools she had passed on. I remember five seconds later when she was shot in the back.
I wandered for days and days, near death. That’s when Aerrow found me and the offer he gave. The hesitation I showed and his patience.
I sighed as I stood up, and turned the frame that held a picture of Finn and I, making faces at the camera. After my life completely changed, Finn became my best friend. We were so alike as the team “misfits”; it was only natural for us to hit it off.
I’ve never told him, but the feelings I have for him have slowly but surely started to come to the surface. I admire his sense of humor and slacker appeal, the way I wish I could be to just let things go.
My thoughts were interrupted as I heard a rapid knocking at my door.
“Dude, Junko? Open up you loser! We’re all worried about you!”
Of course…Finn. A part of me just wanted to crawl into to bed and pretend to be sleeping, but I couldn’t just leave my best friend standing there.
“Hold on,” I groaned, shuffling my feet to the door. I opened it and there he was, a huge grin plastered to his face.
“Hey there Wallop,” he said in a childish tone, punching my waist. I think he saw the look on my face because a second later his grin faded.
“Junko, what’s wrong?”
I looked down at the ground, my vision getting blurry. Great, I was crying.
“Nothing…I’m just not feeling well, that’s all,” I managed to choke out, looking as far away as I could from his stare.
He kept looking at me, his stare burning into me. I just couldn’t escape it.
“I may be a tweaker, but I’m not stupid. Something’s up, huh?”
I tried to shake my head, but I ended up showing my hidden tears. “I just…”
Finn grabbed my arm and motioned for me to sit on my bed. I sat down with a thud and he followed suit, lifting himself from the chair and onto my bed.
“Finn, I don’t even know what to say…”
“Dude, you can tell me anything. I’m your bud for life!” he smiled, trying to reassure me.
I took the deepest breath possible.
“Finn, have you ever felt love for someone, to the point where it’s eating you up inside?”
Finn, for the first time, did not a make a joke at one of my questions. “Yeah, I have.”
“Finn…”
“Yeah?”
“I love you.”
In the moment, the Earth stopped spinning…at least for me. I sat there gazing into his eyes, desperate, looking for some sort of reaction.
“Junko…”
“I had to tell you, Finn,” I said nervously. “It was eating me up inside.”
His stare continued to burn into my soul. “So that’s why-”
“Yeah, the shower thing,” I finished for him, blushing.
We sat there for a few awkward moments, looking in opposite directions, not knowing what to say.
Finally, he broke the silence. “Junko, I’m…”
That stare again.
“…I’m not sure if I feel the way, but…”
And with that unfinished sentence, he leaned up and kissed me. Fireworks went off in my mind and I kept telling myself to wake up so I wouldn’t have to keep dreaming. His lips on mine told a different story.
It wasn’t a sloppy, cheap kiss; it was so loving and experimental, our lips dancing together in perfect harmony.
Finn broke the kiss and I sat there, seeing stars.
My blonde friend finally spoke again. “That felt so…right. But…”
“But…?”
Finn looked at me with tears in his eyes. “Junko, I’m so confused.” With that, he maneuvered his body back into the wheelchair and started to leave.
Alarmed, I jumped up. “Finn, I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have-”
“It’s me, Junko. It’s me,” he said, and left my room.
Alone, and hurt, I went back to bed. I stared at the picture of us until I feel into a troubled sleep.
Aww no! Not good! Chapter 3 coming soon.
