Friday afternoon couldn't come quick enough. Not just because it meant the weekend and no school. But because I would be spending some alone time with Mr Way.
Sure, that was all I seemed to be doing in my free time at the moment but because I didn't see him after school on Thursday, I felt a little deprived. Yes, I know; I was growing very dependent on him for cheering me up. Just the fact that this was happening put me in a good mood every day. He didn't really have to do much to enhance that good mood. Just him being himself was all I wanted.
He was waiting for me when I made it to his classroom.
"Lock the door, Iero." Was the first thing I heard when I shut the door behind me. I did as he asked and when I turned back around, he was already walking towards me.
I couldn't help but stare at him as he stopped in front of me and looked me over. "Let me help you." He said quietly before taking my bag off of me and dropping it onto the floor. It was a good thing I didn't really have anything valuable in there because he just seemed to dump it like it wasn't important, his eyes never leaving my face.
"Sir-" I began but he cut me off.
"Quiet a minute, Iero." His voice was really soft and quiet for some reason, "Just a minute."
I stayed quiet and waited. He moved closer so he was looking down at me and he bit his lip as he looked at me. What was going through his head? I wanted to know.
"What is it, Sir?" I asked when he still hadn't spoken.
He smiled at me before saying, "I was just admiring the view."
Jesus Christ. Where did he get these lines?
"What view?" I mumbled, looking down at the floor. I was still finding it hard to accept any compliment he sent my way. I just got too embarrassed or whatever.
His arms suddenly appeared around my waist and I looked up to see him smiling down at me. "You are one of the most beautiful beings I have ever had the privilege to lay my eyes on, Frank."
Now how was I supposed to react to that? How could I ever just take anything he said in my stride? He was such fucking charmer.
"Do you say that to all your romantic conquests?" I smirked, using humour as a defence mechanism.
My reply made him frown slightly, like he didn't understand what I was asking. "Not at all." He eventually said, "Is that what you think: that I just throw these compliments around at anyone I choose?"
My eyes widened a little, "No, not at all!" I hadn't meant it in that way.
Nonetheless, he pulled away completely and crossed his arms. "I understand you find what I say hard to believe but to me, it's all bona fide." He mumbled, apparently hurt by my joking.
I didn't know what that last bit meant but I still said, "I'm sorry. It's just that... No one's ever talked to me like this before. I don't think I deserve it."
His arms were around me again, in one quick move. "You deserve everything and more." His mouth was by my ear so I could hear his breathing. It wasn't a terrible sound either.
I shivered a little at how close he was before moving into his embrace more.
"Okay, Frank?" His voice was barely above a whisper.
"Okay." I breathed, closing my eyes and just focussing on his breathing.
He began to kiss down my neck slowly.
"No more hickeys." I found myself saying.
He chuckled against my skin. "As you wish." He then backed away and pulled me by the hand across the room.
I stayed silent, waiting to see what he would do next.
He stopped and finally let go of my hand. I watched as he looked at the desk and then at the stage.
"The desk is a little cliche but the stage is too tall..."
I frowned at him, "What are you talking about?"
He didn't look at me as he said, "I'm deciding what to fuck you on, Iero. Uno momento."
My eyes widened. He had not just said that.
Sure enough, he seemed to be weighing up the different options and glancing around the room.
I decided to get my voice heard, "Wait, you're going to fuck me?"
He finally looked at me again, a smile playing on his lips. "Is that a problem?"
"Well, no, but..." I looked down, getting more embarrassed by the second.
He suddenly crouched in front of me and looked up at my face. "What is the predicament you face?"
I didn't really want to say. I would just end up embarrassing myself even more. I looked up again so he stood up, taking my face in his hands. "What's wrong?"
Sighing, I eventually said, "I've never... You know..."
His expression softened and he planted a kiss on my forehead. "I know." He said when he pulled away again, "I'll be here."
I nodded slowly. I really did want to but I was worried I'd end up disappointing him or something. I didn't want him to leave me.
"If you'd prefer to wait, we can." Mr Way said seriously, "I'll do whatever you wish. I don't want to rush you."
I smiled as I thought about it. Maybe waiting was a good idea. I kinda liked that Mr Way wasn't with me just for the physical things. He legitimately cared about me.
"You know what?" He dropped his hands and went around the desk.
"What?" I asked, watching him as he put his briefcase on the table.
He opened it and took out a bottle of water and a sandwich. "It isn't much." He smiled at me, "But why don't we just sit and talk like we used to? I make a mean cheese sandwich." He held it up.
I grinned at him. I could deal with a small amount of dairy if it was for him. "Yeah, sounds good."
"Get onto the stage then. I'll just go and see if I can scrounge up any more supplies from the vending machine down the hallway."
"Okay." I nodded before jumping onto the stage and lying back, sighing contently. I heard the door open and close again and I knew I was alone.
For a moment then, I actually thought he only wanted me as a form of helping him get off. I was glad he had suggested we talk instead. It gave me a little bit of hope that we could actually be a genuine couple one day. Like, a real one.
The door opened again after a few minutes and his voice filled up the room, "Are you looking forward to Suicide Squad, Iero?"
I smiled and sat up just in time to see him dump an armful of snacks and drinks on the stage next to me.
"Maybe we could see it together when it's released." He sat down next to me.
"Yeah, I'd like that." I grinned.

I'm sorry to say that as of tomorrow, my two weeks off has come to a close. This means I'll be back at college. I don't know how often I'll update but I do know that it probably won't be every day anymore. Sorry :( I'll try my best.
