age seventeen~
Why do children think they know everything during their teen years? I'm pulling my hair out as Sergio informed me that Miguel has supposedly joined a neighborhood gang since he's been seen with the leader Jorge and is experimenting with coke and meth. His sister worked overnight at a nursing home and was never home.
"Maybe you should confront him in your Death mode and scare the living shit out of him, boss," Sergio suggests. I leaned back in my chair and thought. I haven't seen the kid up close in years and hoped he'd been doing well.
"Drive me to the neighborhood and I will take a stroll," I grinned and Sergio shuddered at my calmness. On the drive to Miguel, I began to wonder if any of this was worth it. Was getting my soulmate going to miraculously change my mind and dead heart about love, I highly doubt it.
The streets were dark. Tucson is a dark sky city so light at night is very limited, especially in this neighborhood. Dressed in all black I blended in perfectly with the shadows as I exited the car.
"Call me when you're finished," Sergio mumbled before driving off. I headed towards Miguel's house seeing the lights were on inside. I knocked because why the hell not. The door opened and I swallowed my tongue. Miguel eyed me curiously and wiped at his swollen lips. I could smell lust and glanced over his broad shoulders to see a rough looking boy sitting on the couch looking nervous. I cocked my brow and looked back at Miguel.
"Did I interrupt," I smirked and a brief flash of unease filled his eyes before he shook his head.
"Ah no mister fire rescuer, why are you here?" He remembers me, a spark of joy touched my heart.
"Just wanted to see if everything was going well for you Miguel, you certainly have grown, you're very tall," I mumbled like an idiot. He was tall though, probably an inch shorter than me. He also was attractive and would mature into a very handsome man. Miguel opened the door wider and invited me inside. I walked in and watched Miguel tell the other kid he needed to leave. The kid looked rather dejected and frowned, saying a low curse as he closed the door behind himself. I sat on the couch and watched Miguel sit next to me. My heart was thumping wildly in my chest. I held my hands on my lap as my eyes scanned Miguel.
"Tell me why I've had you on my mind for all these years and haven't been able to find my happiness," he asked me boldly. I glanced at him and grinned.
"Is that why you're doing drugs and kissing boys, trying to find your happiness?" Miguel furrowed his brow and clenched his fists.
"I've done more than just kiss boys and I do drugs because I'm gay and don't know how to deal with it," he spat.
"Humans and your stupid labels for anything that isn't supposedly normal. Listen kid, do what you want with who you want, only if it's legal and don't let others label you," I stated firmly and saw his eyes get watery.
"What's wrong now," I asked him. His damp green eyes looked at me and I watched him as he slowly moved closer to me. Our noses were touching and he tilted his head and kissed me swiftly. Shocked, I grabbed his arms and pulled him back.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me," he started sobbing.
"It's alright, I'm just a hell of a lot older than you so technically not legal," I mumbled and pulled him closer for a comforting hug. He was nestled on my lap with our arms wrapped around each other. He had his head on my shoulder.
"I feel extremely comfortable with you and my memory is kind of fuzzy, your name, it's Sebastian right," he asked softly.
"Yes it's Sebastian, just Sebastian and I am your soulmate, imagine that," I tell him. He looked up at my eyes and grinned.
"I'm going to kiss you now, please just let me," he asked nicely. I exhaled and nodded. He kissed me once again and I kissed him back, running my fingers through his silky black hair. He was experienced with his tongue and before long we were both sprawled out on the couch in a heavy makeout session with him lying on top of me. Miguel was grinding his hips into mine and I smiled during our kisses. He pulled back and his eyes were glowing with lust.
"I'm a top little man so don't even think about it," I mumbled and he smiled.
"I'd love to bottom for you," he told me and started kissing me more frantically. The mature part of my larger head told me I needed to stop and I reluctantly pulled him back.
"We need to stop here, Miguel. I'd enjoy having sex with you but not until you're at least eighteen," I mumbled and pecked his swollen lips. Miguel ran his hand over my bulge and grinned.
"Let me at least take care of this, it can be consensual," he chuckled and unzipped my jeans. I stopped his hand and shook my head.
"What did you use tonight," I asked. He swallowed uncomfortably and looked away from my prying eyes. He mumbled coke and I rubbed my eyes.
"You need to stop doing drugs, have you told your sister that you like boys?" Miguel shook his head and went to sit up. I noticed the dark hickey I put on his neck oops.
"I can't tell her, she wouldn't understand," he claimed.
"Well how about you stop doing drugs and the neighborhood boy toy, finish highschool and you can live with me and Sergio," I said and watched his eyes glisten. He agreed but only if I promised to visit him every other night and maybe stay. I eyed him and he swore not for funny business so I agreed. I called Sergio and told him he could pick me up. Miguel asked for a goodbye kiss and I gave him one that would keep him satisfied until I returned, damn young male hormones. Miguel also entered his cell number into my phone. I thanked him as I headed out. He watched me the entire way. I smiled at Sergio and he smiled back.
"Your visit went well?" I nodded my head and heard my cell ding. I looked at my phone and the picture Miguel sent of him wearing black and white vintage Nike's. I showed the picture to Sergio.
"Aren't those the ones I left behind," I mumbled and Sergio shrugged. Another ding, Are you rich? I grinned and replied I guess. Another ding, cool, so um goodnight and come over tomorrow around five, my sister leaves before then. I typed back ok and told him sweet dreams as I chuckled. Sergio eyed me oddly and laughed as he drove into the darkness. We arrived at my home when my cell started playing Fur Elise. I looked at the screen to see Miguel's name. I answered and my stomach dropped at what I heard.
"Come get the kid in his yard, Jorge fucked him up badly for tossing him out tonight, I'm doing you a solid by letting you know so you can save him, he's going to need stitches on his face," a boy's voice stated and ended the call. I turned to Sergio and he said he would be speeding to get there.
"Can you use some of your death magic to get us there quicker," Sergio suggested and I shook my head.
"No but I plan on snapping my fingers for that puto Jorge," I growled, even though I knew he'd be getting gunned down in a couple more years. We pulled in front of Miguel's house and I rushed into the yard to see Miguel struggling to get into the house. I grabbed him and lifted his battered body into my arms. His face was a bloody mess. Sergio opened the back door and I helped him get situated. I sat next to him and pulled off my t-shirt for him to hold to his face. We hurried to the emergency room and the nurses rushed him back. Miguel handed me his cell phone which I handed to Sergio.
"I wonder why they would call me," I mumbled and Sergio held up Miguel's phone. A picture of me with tiny hearts and my name flashing in the middle shown on the phone screen. I bit my lip and gushed a little, okay I did a lot, it was adorable. I wondered how he had snuck taking my picture.
"I think he likes you master," Sergio teased me and I freaking giggled like a girl. We stopped messing around when the nurse came out and started asking us questions about Miguel's injuries. She handed me my bloody shirt and I chuckled, realizing that I was shirtless as I slipped the bloody thing over my head and pulled it down my firm chest. The police came next and Maria, his sister stormed in. She eyed us both and looked at us strangely before being escorted back into Miguel's room.
"Why can't I go see him, I know that he will live but I'd like to at least see him," I mumbled sourly. The nurse overheard my comment and stated only family members can visit with him in the emergency department.
"Can I at least be informed if he's doing alright," I mumbled rudely. The nurse rolled her eyes and left to go back through the doors. Sergio and I went together to the waiting room.
"Want me to get you a clean shirt boss," he asked me and I shook my head. I noticed a coffee machine and headed towards it to get a cup of the nasty smelling brew.
"This is horrible but at least has caffeine," I cringed. Sergio laughed loudly at me and quieted when Maria waltzed in pointing at him.
"I know you both, you told me he was Death and I overreacted stupidly," she said and added,"you saved him again mister, you're his guardian angel." I shrugged and grinned.
"I just care a great deal for the boy, we are um soulmates, if you believe that sort of thing," I mumbled softly and noticed Maria's eyes shine a little at my words.
"He's very fond of you too, if I recall correctly you're Sebastian, he spoke about you the entire time he was awake until they took him to surgery. His poor beautiful face is going to be scarred," she said with a sob. Sergio held her as she weeped and spoke about the injury and the hospital bill and the gang leader Jorge. She said Miguel was supposed to graduate in a couple weeks and already had the required credentials but would miss the ceremony.
"Can you take him in and keep him safe? I'm assuming that you live in a nicer area and can keep him from being harmed further by Jorge," Maria told me.
"If you're asking for me to let him live with the two of us, then yes he may. I can send someone to gather his belongings and move them to my home. It's in the foothills, I'm a wealthy businessman miss," I told her with a grin and she went and hugged me in gratitude.
"Can I see him in the recovery room and we can tell him that he's going to live with me," I asked her, surprisingly hopeful.
"When is his birthday," I added. Maria laughed but eyed me curiously.
"Miguel's birthday is June 17th, next month, " she said. I grinned and nodded, winking at Sergio who had no idea how much I was looking forward to Miguel moving in.
rugged good looks~Weeks had passed and today I was going to be able to see Miguel. We also explained to Maria what Sergio and I actually were and afterwards she took it well. She did ask me about her parents and I explained all that I could in regards to their continued journey. Later Maria let Sergio and I know that Miguel had sustained two severe lacerations, the one on his face and the other across his chest. He also had broken ribs and numerous bruises all over his body. Poor kid got the crap beaten out of him. Today they were removing all of the face bandages and staples in his chest. We had invited Maria to my home and I showed her Miguel's future room (next to mine). We both decorated it with colors he liked and his belongings. I purchased several other items based on his likes for it as well. Surprisingly Maria and Sergio were getting along very well and had gone out a few times already.
~dealing with insecurities~I found Miguel sitting in the living room with his sister and Sergio. He glared at me accusingly and I chuckled internally. I text Amber and told her to stop by out of drag to meet Miguel and clear up a misunderstanding. I sat down next to Miguel and continued to stare at him. He glanced at me and leaned towards me to speak."Shouldn't you still be on the phone with your girlfriend Amber," he asked. I acted pained by his accusation and rolled my eyes."Amber is an ex-relationship of mine and now simply a great friend, Miguel. There's no need for jealousy," I mumbled. He furrowed his brow and scowled at me. The doorbell rang and I jumped up before Sergio to get it. I opened the door to Amber in male form. He was very feminine and grinned at me before giving me a tight hug. I pulled him into the l
nothing good ever lasts it seems2 WEEKS LATER~Miguel and I were currently naked laying with our legs intertwined in his bed eating takis and m&m's and watching Tokyo Ghoul with English subs for Miguel. I was into it surprisingly and understanding Japanese was a bonus perk for watching anime and I didn't need to rush my eyes over the subtitles. I drank my Modelo as I watched. Unfortunately I recently received a text message from Sergio telling me that I was ruining Miguel's life. Really? I couldn't see it. I was sexing him up every moment, every single night and I offered to buy him whatever he wanted. Plus we were getting to know each other pretty well. I realized that he was only seventeen but his birthday was coming soon. I texted him back telling him to fuck off I was busy watching anime with my soulmate.
finding my life~I drove down the empty dark streets of Miguel's neighborhood, my eyes scanning everything. I lifted my cell and dialed Miguel. A faint Hello replied. I pulled the cell back and looked at it oddly."Who is this and where is Miguel," I growled sourly. I heard some hushed mumbling and then Miguel."What do you want Sebastian, I'm kind of busy with um, a friend," he said in irritation."We need to talk, now or many people will die," I growled angrily."Chill the fuck out Sebastian, you're assuming way to much. I'm just hanging with my best friend and talking about you, my feelings and stuff," he admitted reluctantly. My heart fl
~disrupting the fates~Miguel and I sat together on his bed. He had taken me into his room after the fate debacle. I finally dried my tears, embarrassment replaced my sadness."Sorry I was weeping so much," I mumbled softly and Miguel rubbed my back."It's cool babe, I'm certain that you stuffed your emotions for a very long time and the proverbial dam simply broke," he replied. I side eyed him and grinned."You're far too intelligent for your age," I told him and he nodded."If they try to kill you off I will give you life, those bitches are crazy if they think I won't, becoming life has given me a treasure trove of knowledge and I will save you," Miguel stated. I chuckled internally at my soulmate.
~time together ~I called Amber and told her all about Alejandro and she practically begged me to bring him to her. I told I'd stop over at her condo in a couple hours and told her to dress spectacularly. Miguel called his bestie next and he was ecstatic and thankful he was off work for the day."I think I'm going to perform my second good deed of the day," I snickered and Miguel laughed at me. I tossed the keys to Miguel and told him he could drive and he looked at me shocked and said hell no, tossing them back."I don't have my license and have no desire to learn, sorry not sorry," he mumbled and climbed in the passenger side of my silver custom Land Rover. I got into the driver's seat and eyed him oddly."I can teach you how to drive Miguel, I've got excellent insurance," I told h
~birthday wishes~ I blinked my eyes open to the dimly lit room. I turned to my side and Miguel was awake and staring at me with bright eyes. "Happy birthday sweetheart," I said simply and scooted over closer to his side. He said thanks and stretched as he exhaled. "We were pretty obnoxious last night if the knocking at the door and pounding on the walls wasn't enough of an indication," Miguel sighed and chuckled. "Well one of us has a problem with horny young raging male hormones," I stated while poking his firm muscled chest. He feigned innocence and shimmied out of bed to head to the bathroom. I noticed that he was walking oddly and I chuckled internally. We both had been brutal to each other last night. I was feeling it too as I rose from the bed. I heard the shower start and headed to the bathroom to join Miguel. The hot water felt amazing against my sore limbs. "You were a crazy beast, last night," Miguel stated and closed his eyes to the hot stream. "Neither of us are human
~second life, altered tattoo~I woke up with sections of my back burning under the hospital gown. Miguel rushed to my side and put his face right in front of me."How do you feel," he asked me. I noticed the dark circles underneath his eyes and frowned."Get some sleep babe, I'm going to live so take care of yourself," I growled and he smiled. I felt him kiss me softly and drag the chair up closer beside me."Does your back hurt," he asked me and I nodded."We share life and our tattoos show it. The left side of my tree is leafless and looks like a dead tree. Let me see yours" he said in irritation. I turned to my side and he whistled as he looked at my back. I glanced at him curiously."You've g
