Callias leaned down to peck my cheek while I gave him a half smile as we walked out of his room and down the stairs with his arm still draped around my shoulder. It was only now that I realized how late it is when we woke up. "Anything special you want to eat for lunch?" Callias whispered into my ear; causing me to shiver involuntarily as goosebumps rose up my other arm. His touch does wonders. "I could go for a hamburger."

I muttered shly as I refused to meet his eyes. Callias chuckled as he lifted my chin up to meet his eyes, "I don't want you to be shy around me. Whenever you want something, be confident about it and i'll give it to you." Callias murmured before pecking my lips. I closed my eyes in bliss as I found myself wanting more of his addicting touch.

Callias rubbed his hand up and down my arm as we descended down the stairs, and I couldn't help myself from leaning into Callias' side as he comforted me. It were these little touches and soothing sparks that told me that he still loved me and that he still wanted me.

Those girls in the picture were long gone now, as I only focused on Callias' attention on me. I've become so needy lately its almost embarrassing... I didn't want to leave his side again. If I did I don't think I would be able to handle it at all. I almost purred when Callias started tracing soothing patterns again on my arm. "Darren!" I let out an oomf as my eyes widened in shock when Logan's frame almost choked me with his bear hug.

He glanced up at me cheekily as he playfully punched me on my arm. I smiled at him half heartedly, I was excited to see him; really. I was just hoping to spend more time with Callias since I had so many questions for him. That I didn't know where to start. A familiar blonde came behind Logan and pulled him back into his chest. Logan giggled making me arch my eyes at that. I crossed my arms over my chest as I suddenly grew tense and uncomfortable while watching their affectionate exchange.

Serge leaned down and pecked Logan on the lips shamelessly, and I couldn't help but frown in disappointment when Callias removed his hand from my shoulder and stepped away from me. My heart lodged up in my throat....he was doing it again. Callias didn't look at me the entire time I stared at him, not once, when Logan and Serge where smooching and cuddling in front of us. I just thought things would be different between us now that i'm back but I was wrong.

They were still the same as before... a silver twinge of envy bubbled up to the surface as I glared at Logan. Once again, Logan was the center of attention, even when I just got back. Serge's arms were wrapped firmly around Logan's waist as he shamelessly kissed the nape of his neck. Logan leaned back into him as his head tilted up to smile at me cheekily. I only stared him down with cold eyes as old feelings began to stir inside of me.

I hated those stirrings, they were the stirrings that doubted my friendship with Logan. They happened every time I saw something wrong with myself every time I compared myself with Logan. I really wanted Callias to hold me in the way that Serge proudly held Logan. I wanted Callias to kiss me shamelessly in front of others and to tell me that he loved me while everyone was watching. Just like Serge did with Logan. But he never did every time we were together with other people around, he only did it every time we were alone together.

He was so sweet when we were alone, but when we were together with other people he becomes a different person. And I fucking hated that, it hurt like hell and it made me rethink about our future together. But where things are going now, I don't think that our future is going to be so bright. I clenched a tight fist to my side.

"We're happy to have you back Darren. Welcome home." Serge said as he leaned down to peck Logan's cheek again. I cringed and muttered a quiet 'thank you' to him as my hand twitched, urging me to slap off the stupid smile on Logan's pretty face. I should be the one who should be happy. Jeeves came around the corner and his eyes softened when he sensed my distress by the way my hand clenched to my side. Even though I should be happy right now, I could use a really good cry again.

My emotions were all over the place this morning. My eyes narrowed together when I noticed how much Jeeves and Logan looked alike. They had the same eyes, the same hair color, and they even shared the same interests in personality. I clenched my teeth together as another tick formed into my jaw. "We're going to get you boys some lunch, we'll be back soon. You boys should catch up together in the mean time." Serge mused as he kissed Logan's cheek once more.

I looked up to Callias, expecting him to at least look at me, please look at me. I wanted to say, but he didn't, Callias pretended that I wasn't there and that hurt. That hurt so much that I couldn't help the gasp that left my lips, I looked away from him in shame when I finally found it sound hard to swallow; I had to force myself to blink the tears away. Callias didn't look at me at all. He didn't even say goodbye...what if today were to be the last time I would ever see him again? I don't think I would be able to handle that, I don't think I could handle anything anymore at this point.

"Are you okay Darren?" Logan whispered, but I refused to look at him; this is so embarrassing. This just gave me more reasons to hate myself. I was being so stupid over such girly habits, I scoffed as I dabbed my eyes with the back of my wrist but the stupid tears kept on coming. "Darren...come here." Jeeves murmured as he opened his arms out to me. I really didn't want to. I hated crying it was so embarrassing, I kept my back to Logan the entire time I was having this episode.

Another sharp gasp flew past my lips, and my eyes widened when I couldn't stop my hands from trembling. My eyes burned from the hot tears that rolled down my cheeks, as I couldn't help the sob that flew past my lips. I was being such a sissy...all because Callias wouldn't look at me. It was stupid really. Jeeves heaved out a sigh before wrapping his arms around my body and humming out a tune. I whimpered again as I sealed my eyes shut and wrapped my arms around Jeeves tightly.

"What's wrong Darren?" Jeeves whispered into my ear soothingly as he rubbed comforting circles on my back. I couldn't tell him. I was way too embarrassed too, and the words that I tried to say got stuck in my throat, making it impossible to express myself.

"I'll leave you too alone for awhile." Logan mumbled behind me as he went back to the living room and turned on the T.V. Jeeves stepped away from me only to grab onto my hand as we headed back into the kitchen. Jeeves closed the swinging doors as he leaned on to the edge of the round kitchen island. I didn't know what to say to him as I kept hiccuping pathetically all while trying to blink these stupid tears away. "Is it Callias?" He noted while smiling softly. I nodded once. It amazes me how much Jeeves understood me so well when we only knew each other for such a short time. "How did you know?" I whispered.

Jeeves sighed before hooking one ankle over the other as he ran a hand through his tousled hair. "You remind me so much of my partner Lois, that you do the same thing whenever you two are troubled. You refuse to speak about it for awhile. And when you are angry you prefer to stay silent but you make it so obvious over what you are troubled about that you don't need words to say it. Its all in your eyes like an open book." I licked my lips as I looked up at him shly.

"Sometimes I wish you were my dad." I whispered fondly while Jeeves smiled as he ruffled my hair playfully. I couldn't help but laugh at that while I soon found myself forgetting why I was upset in the first place. "You're a good kid Darren." He whispered before clearing his throat and placing his hands back into the front pockets of his jeans.

My smile faded a little when I heard light taps against the wall, I turned around only to see Logan tilting his head to side curiously. He's such a dork. "I heard laughing, so its safe to say that everything is cool now?" Logan chuckled out awkwardly as he leaned against the side of the kitchen entry.

"Yeah...." I croaked out as I dabbed my eyes with my fists. "Great. Darren, we have to check out the library when Callias and Serge come back. Its wicked cool." Logan cried out excitedly while punching the air with a fist. I creased my eyebrows together, Logan was always a little weird. What's so great about a library?
