It Started on Friday

Chapter Nine - Interest

The next day was the day that both Jason and Emil had decided to go to school. After not going for who knows how long, they realized, remembered, that their grades could horribly go to failing grades. Which was ironic, since Emil had tried so hard for several days to work with Jason to get his only failing grade up, which had done nothing. 

"I already want to go home." Jason shook his head, rubbing his face. "Mr. Wood might be pissed during the entirety of 2nd hour because my grade hasn't been helped at all...and I don't have you with me!"

"If only you paid attention to what I was teaching you rather than admiring me and having wild fantasies." Emil laughed.

Damn, exposed...but he doesn't need to know that, Jason thought to himself and sighed, holding him by the waist rather quickly. "I wanna change schedules! We don't have any classes together except for lunch!"

"We should have thought of that before considering we were to be friends, even more." 

"You're acting like a dick again." He scoffed, pulling away again. "Are you afraid you're going to get caught with being with me?"

"No, I just thought it would have been pretty funny to keep the act up like I was before we simply quit going to school for a good while." 

"It's not funny." 

Emil sighed and pulled him close, "alright, alright... I'm sorry baby."

He went red, but buried his face into his chest then soon pulled away once again. "I want to go home." 

"At least one day." He encouraged.

"And then the next, and the next, and the next?" 

"Think about it... we only have a week left until we're done with school completely." 

Before Jason spoke, he rubbed his neck then flinched. What the hell?

"Jason? You alright?"

"I...my neck you dipshit!"

Emil stared then couldn't help but laugh. "You should remember this from last night in the bath!"

"I was dozing off." Jason protested, which was a false truth. He really did remember it, he remembered exposing his neck and feeling Emil's teeth grasp onto his neck, leaving visible and dark marks; hickeys.

"Yeah, right." Emil was unconvinced, "I asked if you wanted me to cover it in foundation this morning but you said no."

"I wasn't about to ask my mother where the foundation was!" He whined, rubbing at his neck more, then gasping, wincing. "Ow, that one hurt!"

"You knew it would..." He groaned, rubbing his face. "Don't get all pissed at me."

"People are gonna question me, my hair isn't that long!"

"You'll be fine... shoot them with the accusation of 'why are you looking at my neck anyway?'..." He shrugged. "People don't really have business looking at you either way." 

"Awh... you're being overprotective." He couldn't help but laugh lightly.

"Sh-Shut it..." Emil went red with embarrassment and looked away.

Jason laughed more and sighed. "The bell's gonna ring in like...two minutes...! Dammit!"

"Better go, then... I'll just see you at lunch." Emil smiled a bit, leaning in and kissed him. "Shortie."

"I am not that short." Jason immediately glared at him, rolling his eyes. "Whatever."

Jason ran towards Emil the second he could find him, clearly looking panicked. 

"Darling?"

"They saw them! They saw it all, they questioned me so much, I can't-!"

Emil flinched, pulling them both out of the lunch line and pulling Jason close. "Woah, woah... calm down, deep breaths, calm down."

Jason buried himself into Emil's chest, beginning to absolutely sob into him. He looked uncomfortable, his skin red and irritated; Emil assumed that people tried to touch him to get his attention, and harshly.

"Shit, Jessica!"

Jessica flinched, being in the lunch line and looked over at them. She hesitated, looking both at her spot in the line and at him and Jason, then sighed and walked over. "What? What's up..." She cut herself off once she looked at him. "What's wrong with him?"

"Please say you have foundation."

"Of course I have foundation, you dumbass... why though?" She asked, taking her backpack off of her shoulders and opening one of the zippers, looking through it. 

"Jason needs it for his neck. People noticed them, and-"

"Hickeys?" Jessica looked up from her bag, holding a new container of foundation as she stared at them. "The people at this school are ridiculous, they don't know boundaries. Do you need anything for his skin?"

"I don't think he wants to be touched by anyone but me right now." Emil took the foundation once she gave it over. "I'll give it back, I promise."

"Oh, no need. Keep it, keep it for Jason, or for yourself, maybe... I feel like these situations would happen often now that you two are official..." She laughed at the sight of seeing Emil go red. "Tomato-looking ass..." She smiled, "either way, I have a lot at home, and I have another container in here that's about half." 

Emil sighed in relief. "God, thank you so much." He opened the container once Jessica left to get back in line, and he could tell she was annoyed that she was in the back again. "Hey... Jason?" 

Jason looked up at him, shaking and crying still. "W-What?" His voice quivered, wiping his tears, but only more were coming down at an alarming rate.

"Jessica got some foundation for us... let me see your neck?"

He stared for a few seconds, hesitation vibrating in his body then soon reluctantly nodded. He exposed his neck, allowing Emil to put the foundation on his neck, the areas where the hickeys were. He flinched, feeling the foundation have a cold touch to it, which wasn't good for his hot neck, which forcefully made him shudder and feel weird all over.

"Alright, I'm done." Emil shoved the foundation in his pocket, rubbing the foundation into his neck. "I'm sorry it's so cold and sensitive towards your neck."

Jason shook his head. "So long that they're covered, I really don't care... I just don't want to get gripped and interrogated like that!"

Emil sighed, "I know you don't... wanna get lunch?"

"Can we go off campus?" Jason's mood suddenly changed, looking at him expectantly. 

He stared at him for a few seconds, then sighed. "Alright... we can."
