What happened in Highschool Chapter 2 Aaron's house was one of those terrace houses that are extremely common around Melbourne, two floors high, long and fairly narrow. Aaron led me inside. "Mum? I'm home!" He called out, dumping his shoes at the door. I followed suit. "Hey honey! How was your first day?" A sweet voice called out from another room. "Fine, mum." He walked towards the voice and I followed feeling nervous about meeting his parents. "Mum I brought a friend home. I'm going to his place this afternoon." He looked me. "Ask if you can stay the night." I whispered. He nodded as we rounded the doorway. "Hey sweetie. Who's the friend?" The woman was fairly small and round in a very motherly way. She caught sight of me and I couldn't help the way I stiffened and looked at her as if challenging her to say something about how I looked. Her eyes widened and she checked me over before plastering a smile to her face that I could tell was wary. "Mum, this is Mattias." "Hi Mattias." "Hi, call me Matt." I smiled hesitantly at her. "Ok." I noticed that she didn't give me a name to call her and wondered if she was happy about her son making friends with someone like me. She glanced at me once more then back at Aaron. "Your brother's visiting, go say hi." "Um... mum I was wondering if I could stay at Matt's house tonight. A guy at school's band is playing at the youth center so we were going to go see it." Aaron looked kind of nervous about asking. His mother pursed her lips and looked at me again. "Will there be alcohol?" Aaron shook his head. "It's a youth center mum, it's under eighteens only." She frowned, and then sighed. "Alright you can go." "Thanks mum!" Aaron gave her a hug then grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the kitchen and upstairs. He thudded along and I couldn't help but laugh at his elephant walk. He flashed me a goofy smile then bashed on a door in the hall. "Hey Kane!" "Come in!" A deep voice said from inside the room. Aaron opened the door then ran in and tackled his brother, who was standing by the bed looking through an overnight bag. Aaron landed on his back and his brother landed on his bag. "Fuck! Aaron, shit you're all muscles these days, I forgot." They laughed and kidded around for a moment. "Oh Kane this is my friend Matt!" Kane grinned at me and stood up, walking over he shook my hand. "Hey, nice to meet cha." Kane looked a lot like Aaron although his hair was a lot lighter and his lips not as full and red as Aaron's luscious lips. Stop it Matt. "Hey." I smiled at him, feeling more comfortable around him rather than their mum. We chatted for a bit and it turned out that Kane was in his second year at uni and studying physiotherapy. My phone rang then and I saw it was Kurt. I sighed as I answered it. "What's up Kurt?" I said in a falsely normal voice. "Where the fuck are you? You said you were going to your house!" He ranted at me. "Chill the fuck out! I'm at Aaron's, we're getting a few clothes for tonight, he's staying at my place." I regretted saying that straight after as Kurt went nuts. I turned away from Aaron and his brother and lowered my voice. "What the fuck? You've known him for what? Ten minutes?" He was getting really worked up. "Jesus man, get over it, you've been a total fuck today and I'm getting really pissed, if you keep acting like a dick then I'll just see you at the gig ok?" I told him not hiding the anger in my voice. "You're dis-inviting me?" He demanded sounding indignant. "Kurt, you're really pissing me off at the moment. Why the fuck are you being such a dick?" There was silence for a moment then Kurt sighed. "Look whatever, I'll see you there." He hung up. I glared at my phone. "Stupid fuck." "You ok mate?" Aaron asked. "Huh? Oh yeah. Kurt's still being a dick, he's going to meet us there." I glared at my phone again and put it away. "Kurt doesn't like me much does he?" Aaron asked looking wary. "Kurt doesn't like anyone really, he just tolerates them." I answered with glib smile. "He likes you." Aaron told me with a strange look on his face. I noticed Kane watching the conversation closely. "Sometimes, when he's in a good mood."
Aaron got some clothes then we said bye to a wary looking mother and a cheerful brother. Arriving at my house later we went inside and I led Aaron down the hall and through to my room. It was still the bomb I left it this morning and when I thought about Aaron's neat room I glanced at him and shrugged an apology. It was just after five and the gig started at eight. "Want to watch a movie or something?" He nodded. "Sure, whatever." We ended up playing PlayStation for rest of the day. Mum came home at six and greeted Aaron very warmly, saying he was an extremely polite young man and I should take note. I rolled my eyes and mum cuffed me lightly. "Behave."
The Youth center was brightly lit as we approached. Some other band was playing at the moment, the singer wasn't too bad from what I could hear from outside but the song was terrible. The drummer sounded like he was five beats behind. I looked across at Aaron and couldn't stop the chuckle that escaped. If only his mum could see him now. He glanced at me and rolled his eyes. "Shut up. Will you quit laughing at me?" I grinned, feeling very pleased with myself. He had worried about `standing out' and had asked if I could make him over. Too much fun! I had him wearing combat pants (my jeans were too tight on him and the combat pants only just fit despite being too big for me.) He had a plain black bonds shirt on that was a size or two too small (showing his gorgeous surfer boy abs) and a few of my wrist bands. I had messed up his hair and he even allowed me to put a thin line of eyeliner around his eyes. He looked hot. "I'm not laughing, I'm admiring my handiwork." He pushed me playfully, then looked at me nervously. "I look alright don't I?" I laughed. "You look hot!" Woah Mattias what did you just say? Ok act casual and just laugh it off. Aaron was bright red and glancing at me. "Really?" I smiled. "Well, I'm pretty good I must admit, I can make anyone hot." I breated on my nails then buffed them on my shirt. "Oh." His face fell and I laughed. "Joking! You look good, it suits you. So come on, let's get in there." I grabbed his arm and dragged him inside. It was really noisy inside and fairly packed. I looked around for any familiar faces and saw Abby, Yaz and Jay against the wall. I hurried over with Aaron in toe. "Hey!" I shouted. They all grinned and Abby hugged me. Then Jay spotted Aaron, he nudged the girls and they looked him over. "Omigod! Aaron you look hot!" Yaz exclaimed and Abby nodded. I grinned but at the same time felt a pang of something akin to jealousy. No wait, I wasn't jealous. "You look good man." Jay told a nervous looking Aaron. Aaron smiled at all of them. "Matt gave me a make over." He wrapped an arm around my shoulders and pulled me to him, then let go. I laughed and hid the fact that I was about to melt. Jesus, this guy was doing a number on me. "Where's Kurt?" Abby pointed at the boy's toilet. Kurt came out a minute later and headed over, he smiled at me, gave Aaron a weird look and nodded to the others. "I see you gave the surfer a wardrobe change." He said in my ear. I smiled but looked at him warily. "Are you over being a shit?" He frowned. "Sorry, I was in a really bad mood today." He gave me a puppy dog pleading face. "Forgive me?" I smiled. "Yeah, you idiot just don't do that shit again." He grinned and gave me a quick one armed hug. I looked over at Aaron and he had an almost annoyed look on his face. Guess he was still pissed at Kurt. Kyle's band came on soon after and we all pushed our way through the crowd towards the front. His band was pretty good, I had a CD of theirs that they burnt me. We made it pretty close and started jumping, dancing and generally thrashing around. The music was fairly energetic and Aaron looked out of his depth for awhile but then he got into it and was raving with the rest of us. The others got separated from us pretty soon except Kurt and Aaron who both stayed fairly close to me. After the gig we met up with the band. I knew the guys fairly well and we all went back to Dave, the drummer's van and smoked a joint back there. Dave asked if anyone wanted to come back to his place for a bit. Dave's place was like a drop in center, his mum was never there, she had a house somewhere else and Dave lived there mostly alone. Usually at any given time there was at least one other person crashing there and we usually always ended up at his place for a bit after parties or for parties cause he had a million. I glanced at Aaron out of the corner of my eye and saw that he wasn't that enthused and hadn't smoked anything before so I decided to pike. I was feeling shit anyway. "I'm gunna pass. I still feel fucked up from last night and just want to crash. Do you mind Aaron?" He shook his head. "Last night?" Mike asked. "Me and Matty got sloshed." Kurt supplied. "Drank way too much. I'm gunna head home too." The others all went back to Dave's and we headed home.
Back at my place we crept in real quiet cause it was going 1am and I didn't want to wake mum up. In my room I just stripped down to my underwear and collapsed on my freshly made bed. Huh, mum must have done it... wonder if she will ask why I needed my sheets changed if they were only washed the week before. I looked back at Aaron and noticed that he hadn't moved. "Arent you tired?" I had been under the impression he was. "Um... where am I going to sleep?" I grinned at him. "Are you nervous or something? Look you can either sleep here or on the couch. But trust me our couch is pretty old and uncomfortable. Anyway I'm going to sleep." I got under the sheet, too hot tonight for blankets or a doona, and lay back. After a few moments I heard Aaron get undressed and then the bed move. My heart started beating faster against my will and I sighed. Damn, this was going to be a long night. "I... um... I like your tattoo. It's cool, did it hurt much?" Aaron stuttered out. I wondered why he was so nervous. Had he picked up gay vibes or something? I mean, do I give off gay vibes? Maybe he thought I was going to hit on him. Shit. No, he would have said something wouldn't he? Oh shit he is probably waiting for me to reply. Quick say something. "Yeah... oh I meant it hurt but I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to pain." Smooth. "Then why did you get piercings and stuff? I mean they had to hurt." I can see he's turned on the pillow and is looking at me. Don't look back, no eye contact. He's lying right there! If I extended my arm or leg I could touch him. God he's hot, he's got a strong jaw line and chin, I love that, it's my favorite feature. Oh shit, answer him. "Yeah, but I'm not in it for the pain only purely aesthetic reasons!" I grinned and gave him a quick glance. He smiled back. "They suit you." "Thanks." It was a bit awkward for a few moments then I yawned, remembered how tired I was and despite my misgivings about getting any sleep I feel asleep a minute later.
A leg was between mine, a knee pressing gently against my balls. I moved slowly against the leg and moaned. I reached out and ran my hands up a smooth firm back scratching my nails along the skin. My chest pressed against another and I felt our bodies move together in a gentle thrusting motion. A sharp intake of breath in my ear snapped me out of the delicious dream I had been enjoying. I opened my eyes to see two green ones staring back at me so close I could see bits of hazel and dark green flecks in them. Gentle breath against my neck. The knee was Aarons and I was straddling it. I leapt from the bed. "Shit! I'm sorry man, I was kinda dreaming." I couldn't meet his eyes as he sat up startled by my movements. "Um... I'm going to have a shower. I'll leave a towel out for you." I hurried into the bathroom, realizing only then that my morning woody, rock hard from the dream was sticking proudly out in front of me. "Fuck." I raked my fingers through my hair. I'll just pretend it didn't happen. Yep, that'll work. I ignored any protests from the rest of my brain and had my shower. Feelings from the dream kept rushing through me and I made a quick decision to get rid of my hardon. Reaching down with a soapy hand I started to jerk it. I had to be fast or it would arose Aarons suspicions. It didn't take long as I was so turned on from before and the minute a finger from my other hand brushed my hole I was shooting against the shower wall.
Breakfast was awkward to say the least. Horrendous was more of a reality. Aaron kept glancing at me, which I could see from the corner of my eye but I was studiously ignoring his gaze. Mum was sitting at the table reading the paper and occasionally glancing from Aaron to me with her eyebrow raised. "So how was Kyle's band last night?" She asked finally. I jumped surprised by the sound. "Um it was good Mrs Roche." Aaron filled in. Mum smiled. "Call me Anna." He smiled faintly. Mum looked between us with a puzzled expression. She was going to say something. Aaron jumped in before she could. "Um... Thanks for breakfast but I better go I have to help my brother out with yard work this arvo. Um... I'll see you at school Matt?" "Er... Yeah, I'll see you on Monday." I walked him to the door. "Hope you had fun last night." I added at the last minute then smiled briefly and closed the door. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck! Didn't happen... right.
Later, as I was painting my nails a dark blue in the living room and watching tv, mum came in and sat next to me. "Ok, what did you say?" "Huh?" "To Aaron, the tension was so thick I could have swum in it." She looked at me pointedly. "Why do you always assume it's me?" I went back to my nails. "Cause you speak before thinking most of the time." "Thanks mum. Real nice. I didn't say anything." She frowned the sighed. "Was it Kurt? Was he rude to Aaron?" "Why do you ask that?" She smiled wearily at me. "Cause he hates other people spending time with you. He gets really jealous sometimes." I snorted. "Yeah right Ma. You're talking as if he's my girlfriend or something. He just doesn't get along with many people is all." Mum gave me an odd look. "Baby, you're an extremely handsome young man but you just don't seem to realize it." "Eww mum, no need to get all mushy on me. Aaron just isn't like me at all. He likes Norah Jones and Jack Johnston and I like Greenday and Grinspoon and the classics like Sex Pistols and the Clash." I said like that explained everything. "It's called variety and music isn't every thing." I just shrugged. "Whatever."
Mum announced on Sunday that next weekend we would be visiting my father and brother for lunch next Saturday. I had a week to look forward to the hellish Saturday coming. I arrived at school on Monday with a strange cacophony of feeling running through me. Yes cacophony, I like that word. I wanted to see Aaron but dreaded it. Would he tell anyone? Would he ignore me? Would I care... didn't answer that one. I saw him standing talking to a group of people who resembled him. They were chatting happily and my heart sank. There goes that, goodbye Aaron. I felt depression sneak up on me and suddenly craved a smoke. I headed round the back of the school hoping to scab one off the stoners and suspendees. Mick and Jasper were there like usual and greeted me warmly enough. They had such a weird stoner Cheech and Chong vibe going but I was desperate. "Hey man, you guys got a smoke? A cigg?" "Yeah man." Jasper passed me one and held out a lighter. I took a long drag and leant against the shipping container/sport equipment shed. "What `cha been up to man?" Mick asked. "Not much, you?" "Oh man we got this fucking awesome hydroponic shit on the weekend. You have to try some man." Mick told me. "Yeah? Can you get me a twenty?" I asked suddenly interested in smoking my way to instant happiness. "Fuck yeah. Come over to my joint round four." I finished my smoke just as the bell rang. "You coming to class today?" "Maybe later, got history or some shit now and it'll totally fuck up my high." "See ya at four then."
First period was history and I knew Aaron did this class. I dreaded running into him so dragged my feet and arrived just after the teacher. "Cutting it fine aren't you Mr Roche?" Fucking Mr Roche. I shrugged at him and I saw he looked surprised by the lack of my usual `witty' come backs. I looked around and the only vacant seats were either next to Aaron or Stinky McFarlane. I looked at Stinky for a moment then shuddered and made my way to where Aaron was. "Hey I saved you a seat." He whispered. "Um, thanks." I glanced at him quickly. When the bell rang I hurried out of the class room and Aaron hurried after me but was waylaid by some of the guys he had been talking to earlier. I spun around suddenly when I heard one of them exclaim. "Damn man did you get lucky on the weekend?" The back of Aaron's shirt was caught in his backpack straps and exposed his lower back. "Huh?" "The scratches man! Who's the chick?" "Oh that? Nothing as exciting man it was a cat." He caught my eyes. My nails had done that. Shit. I needed a moment to think and hurried into the nearest boy's toilet. A minute later the door opened and Aaron burst in. I faced him and stepped away from the sink. "Hey-" He started but the door opened again and the guys came in. "You must have really needed to go hey?" One of the guys said. I think his name was Jeff. "Huh?" Aaron looked overwhelmed. My heart sunk. This was do or die. I waited to see what he would choose to do. "What the fuck are you looking at ya poofta. What a loser." Jeff sneered at me. I wanted to leave but they were between me and the door.
"Nah man, he's cool. What'cha guys follow me in here for? You all need to go?" Aaron asked looking at the three of them. "Oh... er we just wanted to see what you were up to." Jeff said stupidly. "Huh. Well since I was going into a toilet I think it is pretty obvious what I was gunna do. So, can I meet up with you guys later. Don't feel like having an audience." Aaron smirked at them and they ended up shuffling out. Weird. When they were gone I turned to Aaron. "You didn't tell them." He shifted nervously but moved closer. "Well it was only a dream. Wasn't it?" I stared at him in surprise and shock not expecting him to be so direct. I couldn't answer so I looked down. Shit. I have to say something. I jumped when a hand touched my arm. I looked up to see Aaron staring straight at me and standing very close. Shit. He leaned in closer and I found myself responding, leaning in with him, my heart beating its way out of my chest. The door swung open again and we jumped apart quickly. Kurt was standing there looking suspiciously at the both of us.
