The Beat is On! › ... semi-hiatus... ‹

         “Oh c’mon, Beat. I’ ain’ tha’ bad. Readin’ is pretty fun.” {/It was pretty adorable. He was almost like a little kid who would rather go out and play than stay inside and read. The mention of it being his last year earned a small ‘congrats’ from her. High school wasn’t easy in the slightest, and yet Beat had done it. He was doing a good job.} “–Jus’ kinda meanderin’. Mista Hanekoma gave me tha day off. Wha’ are youse doin’ here? Go’ some business?”

        “–Anythin’ fun? Well…I am takin’ this literature class. We basically jus’ read old stories. They’re pretty interestin’ an’ well thoughou’. Wha’ abou’ youse? Yer still in high school, righ’?”

         “College started back. I’ve been in class, an’ then helpin’ ou’ in Hanekoma’s shop fer tha time bein’. An’ then sleep. Mostly sleep. Wha’ abou’ youse, Beat?”

HAPPY   TO   SEE   him   relax,      mathias   lowered   his   arms   and   tilted   his   head   side   to   side   lightly   in   a   here   and   there   sort   of   motion.        ❛     work   work   work,      just   like   always.      the   heartless   really   know   how   to   keep   a   man   busy.      ❜         he   commented   lightly,      never   wanting   to   burden   or   worry   others   with   the   severity   of   his   job.         ❛     i’ve   been   great   though   all   things   considered……      how   about   you  ?      ❜

                         they’d  just  been  catching  up ,   mathias  telling  beat  all  the  stories  he’d  been  through ,   all  the  adventures  he’d  had ,   everything  he’d  been  through . . .   it  all  seemed  so  exciting .   there  had  been  a  pause  between  laughter ,  both  of  them  staring  at  each  other  for  a  second  too  long  before  beat  had  been  the  first  to  crack  and  look  away ,   a  blush  rampant  across  his  cheeks .   why  did  he  feel  his  heart  quicken  and  his  breath  catch  in  his  throat  as  he  looked  into  his  eyes ?

                        of  course ,   he  knew  why .   deep ,   deep  down  in  the  recesses  of  his  being  did  he  know .   it  was  just . . .   kept  so  far  down  that  he  hardly  gave  it  the  time  of  day .   when  he  looked  at  mathias  again ,   it  began  to  claw  its  way  up .

                        without  the  time  to  register  what  it  was  that  he  was  doing ,   soft  lips  were  pressed  to  his  own ,   chapped  and  in  desperate  need  of  moisturizer .   bright  blue  eyes  went  wide  as  he  let  the  realization  of  what  was  happening  encompass  him .   he . . .   was  kissing  him .   it  was  a  kiss .   thick  brows  furrowed  together  as  he  fought  with  himself ,   but  finally  allowed  his  eyes  to  shut  and  to  return  the  kiss for  just  a  moment .   he’d  allow  himself  this  one  time . . .   this  one  moment  where  he  did  what  he  wanted  and  didn’t  fear  for  what  this  meant . 

                        a  hand  moved  up  to  cup  the  back  of  mathias’  neck ,   pulling  him  closer  for  just  a  moment  before  he  forced  himself  to  pull  away  and  look  down .   his  shoulders  slumped  forward ,   his  head  drooped  and  shook  back  and  forth .   “   what  the  hell’m  i  doin’ ,   ”   he  muttered  to  himself ,   a  hand  tugging  off  his  beanie  and  then  running  through  his  hair .

❛     i   know   i   know,      i’m   sorry,      i’m   the   worst.      ❜         MATHIAS   SCOLDED   HIMSELF   lightly   with   a   sheepish   smile,      raising   his   hands.      he’d   almost   forgotten   how……      intense   beat   could   be,      it   was   a   presence   he’d   missed   though.

❛      beat……  !      it’s   nice   to   see   you   again,      it’s   been   a   while.      ❜
