La Vie Boheme

“Why are you talking to me? Someone could see you.” Erik snapped in a whisper, glancing over his shoulder to make sure no one saw them together.

“I just...I missed you. I needed to see you.” Wren spoke quickly, his voice trembling with nerves as he took an unsure step forward. “I know I’m not supposed to talk to you like this, but...but it’s been over a week since we spoke and I just wanted to talk to you again.”

“i can’t stay away from you, you’re right” he said smiling then he held onto his chest and kissed his lip stain tattoo gently. “You’re my boyfriend, if you want to be my boy” he said shyly then he covered his body up with the sheets

letting his almond-shaped eyes slip shut, he finally allowed himself to relax. “boyfriend. i think i like the sound of that.” he murmured, a shy smile lighting up his face as goosebumps erupted in the wake of nathan’s kiss. “are you gonna take me places and show me off?”

“keep it up with the teasing and there won’t be a next time” he said laughing at him, then he held onto his face holding him gently “i love you “ he said back onto his lips. “i don’t want to sleep alone tonight” he said taking off his jeans and he was left with his black calvin’s then he got under the covers in north’s bed.

“mmm someone is mighty confident in himself. as if you could resist me forever.” he grinned, laughing gleefully as he slipped under the covers beside his lover. “so what does this mean for us? what are we now, nate?” he asked softly, shifting to rest his head on nathan’s chest.

“hey, i never even said he was cute” nathan laughed then he held north’s hand in his, “you nasty” he said pushing his face away playfully “we haven’t had sex in two weeks, new record?” he said wiggling his eyebrows then he kissed his jaw softly as he talked. “ill help you go through anything, I’ve always been yours” he said leaning in as their noses touched and he kissed his lips passionately as he held onto him on bed

“yeah well, i did learn one thing from aimee tonight. if i ever see you talking to another guy, i’m gonna waltz up and throw my drink in his face.” he teased with a filthy grin. “nasty? why nate, i don’t hear you calling me nasty when i’m make you moan like a bitch in heat.” he groaned and pouted. “don’t remind me how long it’s been. i’m perfectly aware.” he stated before melting into the kiss being pressed to his lips. his hazel eyes slipped shut and his hands reached out to gently cup nathan’s face. “i love you,” he murmured against the other’s lips.

“you make out with her, and ill invite miguel from the bar over and lock the bedroom door” he said teasing back then nathan took off his shirt and he rested his head on north’s chest. “so you’re mine” he said smiling up at him then he bit his lip. nathan then ran his fingers through north’s soft hair, “you make me happy and i can’t be mad at you, its impossible.

“you do that and i’ll end up going to jail for assault.” he pointed out with a helpless grin. “fuck miguel. he wasn’t even that cute. why have his pasty ass when you could have a taste of mine?” he teased. “yours? nate baby, i was always yours. even when i was with her, i was still yours.” leaning into his lover’s touch, he turned his head to kiss nathan’s palm tenderly. “i thought we were gonna break up earlier tonight. i don’t want to go through that again. let’s do this right. let’s live out in the open. will you help me do that?”

“do i ?” he said teasing then he looked down at him smiling “i just want to make you happy” he said softly then he looked at his eyes “just do what you have to do with her, but if i hear or see ya’ll making out” he said hitting him with a pillow gently “i mean you and her are only temporary, right” he said biting his lip.

north laughed brightly as the soft pillow smacked him. “what happens if you do catch us? are you going to go all cave man and conk her on the head with a club?” he teased further, slinging a leg over nathan’s lap and straddling him innocently. “you mean, we were only temporary. i mean it, nate. i don’t think i want to get back with her. i’m never going to be ready to come out. i’m always going to be terrified. i might as well do it now.” he said softly, looping his arms around nathan’s neck and smiling shyly. “you do make me happy, you know. even when we’re fighting and slamming doors, just being with you makes me happy.”

“i’ll take extra shifts at work” he said trying to help him out, he didn’t want to see him suffer for being who he was. “you are talented I’ve heard you, its unique you’re unique” he said as he sat next to him and looked into his eyes. “you’re going to do it and I’m going to help you through it okay?” he said looking down at him

north couldn’t help but to let his growing grin spread across his face as he sat up and rubbed at the back of his neck. “you’re saying a lot of awful nice stuff to me. it’s almost like you love me or something.” he teased gently before gulping and looking up at his lover. “i broke up with aimee. or, at least told her that we were going on a break. i couldn’t just let her treat you like that. i don’t want to get back with her.” he admitted gently.

nathan heard north’s voice break then he turned to look at him “you know i’ll be there to support you if that’s what you want to do” he said looking into his eyes then he leaned over to place a kiss on his head “come on let’s get you inside” he said getting out and opening up his door, helping him out and going into the house with him. “i believe you can do it, even if your dad doesn’t support you i will” he said walking him over to his room, laying north on his bed. 

north hummed softly and followed after his lover, silently laying down and making quick work of undoing and kicking off his pants followed by tugging his shirt over his head and tossing it away until he was laying in solely his boxer briefs. “i’m just scared of what we’ll do when my dad finds out and cuts me off. how will we afford this place? no way will we be able to keep up payments if i’m off trying to be an artist of all things. i’m not that good. there won’t be any money in it.” he worried aloud, looking up at his lover as he gnawed on his plump bottom lip.

“nothing i don’t even want to talk about what that bitch said” he said looking out the window then he bit his lip as he started to calm down. “is it always going to be like this” he said as his voice cracked a bit as nathan looked at north. once they got home, nathan looked up at their home and he bit his lip remembering the first time they were with each other.

north slid down further into a slouch, relaxing in his seat as he looked up at their home fondly. “god, i hope not.” he whispered, tears blurring his vision and his throat burning. “i’m so tired, nate. i’m so fucking tired of hiding who i am. i don’t even want to be a businessman or to marry aimee.” he sniffed as a lone tear trailed down his cheek. “i wanted to be an artist, did you know that? i wanted to be an artist and travel the world, but my dad said that shit was for ‘fairies.” he looked down and traced over the ink tattooed into the skin of his forearm.

“Alright” he said softly then he looked up at his eyes and he moved passed him going into the car, once he got inside he laid back onto the car seat with his hoodie on. nathan waited for north to start driving, beside him then he closed his eyes trying to calm himself down from the anger building up inside him.

north sighed greatfully as he spun around and got back into the car after nathan, quickly starting the engine and driving back to their shared home. “nate....nate, what did she say to you?” he asked softly, speeding through the streets at a fast pace in his rush to get them home. he was tired of being in public. tonight had clearly been a disaster. he just wanted to be alone with his lover. someplace where he could be open with his love for this beautiful man.
