Unsuspecting Love
This is my first story, so... if there is something wrong, please tell me. I'm going to try and make this a story series. Enjoy!
*********************************************************************************
'God, he's just so... gorgeous.' I thought as I stared at J.T. from the back of my Algebra 2 class. My name is Chris, I'm an average gray fox standing at about 5 foot 10. I've been told I have the most beautiful blue eyes. Unfortunately, I'm weak and, in my opinion, unattractive. Anyway... I sit in my classes thinking about this beautiful silver wolf, named J.T. Cloud. But, to my luck, he has a girlfriend. I figured as much, it's kind of hard to see someone like him without one. J.T. is a thin, maybe muscular fur (how would I know), who has an ear ring in his left ear, loves to cook, and has the cutest face. The most attractive thing about him would have to be his eyes. Those eyes containing a mix of green, brown, and blue. God, I could look into those eyes forever. He is one of those people who could make friends with just about anybody, but I on the other hand, am very shy and I don't talk to people I don't know. (Anyway...back to the story). I keep daydreaming about us being together, even though I know we'll only be... friends. He would never go out with me, considering I'm a sophomore and he's a junior, even if he was gay.
Only a few people know I'm gay: Jessica, a.k.a. Jason, and she is bisexual, Monika (who is also bi), Tiago (who is straight), and a few others. I have no intention of telling anyone else until I have my first kiss, or something else*wink*.
I share two classes with J.T.: Spanish and Algebra II. Most of the time in those classes I either spend my time daydreaming/sleeping and writing poems. Or I listen to my ipod mini.
*So begins the fictional part of my story*
One day in Spanish, me teacher assigned partners on this stupid story we had to make. She said we had to keep those partners until the end of the semester. I thought I would get stuck with some random guy. But, I guess fate was on my side. I was paired up with J.T.! I was shocked and speechless... except for the fact the he was failing the class. But the good still out-weighed the bad. While we were writing the story, we starting talking about stuff, most of which was music. Apparently, we had a lot in common.
"So..." I asked, "How are you and your girlfriend? If you don't mind my asking"
J.T. lowered his ears, "We broke up about a week ago. She said I was in love with someone else. But that didn't mean I wasn't in love with her."
"Why would she think that?"
"I don't know. I had been thinking about someone else though. I think girls have a sixth sense or something."
"Who were you thinking about?"
"I can't say, but I still loved her. She was my first kiss, everything. God I miss her." He was on the verge of tears.
"Don't worry J.T. Sooner or later she will relies what a great guy you are and she'll come back for you. If she doesn't you can always talk to me." I said trying to comfort the depressed wolf.
"Thanks Chris, you're such a great friend." The bell rings, cutting our conversation short. "Got to go to class. Bye Chris, see you in math."
'If only we could be more than friends' I thought as I got me stuff to go to my next class.
The rest of the day was uneventful. But, I got very interested in this new band on my Ipod, called Drowning Pool.
I went home and, when I found out my older sister was gone, I went to my room and went on the internet to talk with friends, check e-mails, update websites, and download music.
I decided to go to bed after watching Charmed. I had the best dream; J.T. told me that he was in love with me. And we shared many romantic and heart-felt kisses. And just as J.T. and I began to yiff, my little sister wakes me up for dinner.
"Damn you midget" I whispered as I look for my pants. *Authors note: yes, I do call my little sister midget*
After dinner, I watched tv until about one in the morning and then sleep over took me. Unlike last time, I did not dream.
During Spanish the next day, I had to go to the bathroom, but I accidentally left my cell phone on my desk. "Shit, someone is going to take it. Most likely my teacher!" But when I returned to the classroom, it was still on my desk, right where I had left it. "Thank god" I said relieved. 'I thought for sure someone was going to take it' I thought as I put it back in my pocket before the teacher came by.
During my third period, I got a text message from someone I didn't know. It read: "Chris, I've been in love with you for awhile now, but I'm afraid to confess my feelings to you in person because I'm also male."
I must have read the message 20 times to make sure I had read it correctly. 'Holy shit, I've always wanted this to happen. To bad it's not J.T.' I thought as I typed a reply. "Who are you?" and I got my answer a couple of minutes later. "I can't tell you right now."
I spent the next couple of days trying to find out who it was.
"You okay dude?" I turned my muzzle and came face to face with that wolf. "I'm okay J.T. I'm just a little distracted."
"That's weird, I've never seen u space out before. What's on your mind Chris?"
"Fine. I got this text message a couple of days ago, apparently, someone has a crush on me. But I don't know who it is."
"So... some vixen has a crush on you. How sweet" J.T. mocked.
I was very angry at him at this point, "If your going to fucking mock me, then leave me the fuck alone"
"Dude, chill out. Sorry about that. Seriously, so u found out a chick like you."
I mumbled my response. "What did u say?" J.T. asked. "It's not a girl" I responded, a little bit louder.
"Did you just say that a guy has a crush on you?" I nodded to his question.
"Whoa. You're joking right. Are you gay?"
The bell rings before I could answer. 'Saved by the bell' I thought as I grabbed my stuff and ran out the door. I was on the verge of tears.
I was so depressed for a while. Then at lunch, my friend Seta sat next me. "Are you ok Chris?" She asked sounding concerned. Seta was a purple feline, wearing a black tank top, with a pear of jeans. She was one of those people who stands out in a crowd, one of the reasons she's my friend.
I could feel the tears swell up in my eyes as I told her what happened. "I told J.T. about the text message I got from a guy saying that he loved me. At first he thought I was kidding. Seta... I think he hates gays. And I'm in love with him! Oh my god, just when I thought when my life couldn't get any worse." I was crying at this point. "It's okay Chris, let it all out." She said as she patted my back, comforting me. "Thanks Seta. I got to get to class. Bye" I left to go back to my third period class.
Then... fourth period came. 'Oh God, I have to go to math now. And I share that class with J.T. I really don't want to face him.'
I just walked to my math class, and spent the entire period without saying a word. When the bell rang for us to go to the buses, J.T. came running to me. "Chris, we need to talk."
"I can't, I have to get on my bus before it leaves without me." I said, not looking at him.
"I can drive you home. Please Chris, I really need to talk to you." His response sounded full of concern. I look into those beautiful eyes. 'Damn it, I can't say no to those eyes.' "Fine, J.T. I'll talk with you." We walked to his car, but we didn't leave the school.
"Chris, about what I said in Spanish. Why did u freak out?" I didn't answer. I didn't even look at him. I almost began to cry again. "Please Chris, tell me. Was it something I said?"
"I started to cry," Yes, okay?!! When I told you about the text message, it sounded like u hated gays, and I couldn't tell you that I'm gay." I just stopped right there. 'Oh my god, did I just say that? Great, now he's going to kill me.' J.T. didn't say anything. He just started his car and left the parking lot. He started to drive me home.
When we arrived at my house, I was about to open the door. But I was stopped by this wolf paw on my shoulder. "Let me go J.T." Was all I could say. But he didn't. And I couldn't shake him off, he was much to strong.
"No. We need to talk." His voice a little harder this time.
"I don't want to talk to someone who hates gays, okay. I just want to leave!" I screamed at him.
"I DON'T HATE GAYS!! DID IT EVEN OCCURE TO YOU THAT I'M GAY TOO?! OR MAYBE THAT I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU?!" I was just shocked. I could say anything.
"You're the one that sent me that text message, aren't you." I said in almost a whisper.
"Yes. When u left your cell on your desk awhile back, I got your number and sent you the text message. So... do u feel the same way?"
I just sat there, thinking about what he just said. I began to cry. "Oh. So u don't feel the same way. Okay." J.T. said with a very said look on his face.
"J.T, I..." I stopped at that. He looked at me waiting for the rest of my answer. I bent over and kissed him on his muzzle. He was shocked at my action. But then he started to kiss me back. Our tongues exploring each other's mouths. I broke the kiss and looked into his eyes, "I fell in love with you the moment I saw you."
Since that day, we were inseparable. I came out and told my parents. All they could say was, "It all makes sense." My little sister felt kind of weird about it, but then again, she's 11, who cares what she thinks. My friends were understanding. And Seta was so happy, "It's about time you came out to everyone." And since then, life has been... wonderful.
