3. Running away from home

Zafar was an enthusiastic and passionate lover. Since I wasn't much older than my students, I'd had to fend off some offers already. Only one other student had actually thrown himself at me. Aryan was two years older than Zafar, but I had managed to keep control and send him on his way.

With Zafar, I got carried away. Even though he wasn't Zaphadin yet, he had a charm not even I could deny. And he was handsome and sweet and needy... I could have adored him for the rest of the night. But I needed to be sensible, therefore at some point I let him drift to sleep.

It felt funny waking up by his side and I was probably the first to tell him he has bedroom eyes. When he opened them and saw me, a smile blossomed on his face and he nestled closer to me. We were still naked, but I kept control and told him for our sakes it was better if nobody ever knew what had happened last night. If anyone found out, I would have lost my job and he would have been expelled from the university.

He joked that we could run away together, but I reminded him that we couldn't live on love and thin air – we needed food and shelter, and they didn't come for free, especially for two unmarried men. Therefore he reluctantly agreed to hide his feelings, although for me his adoration was now obvious and quite distracting, especially during lessons.

Thank heaven the two-weeks winter break was close and he'd go home. Hopefully he'd calm down and maybe even find another lover his age. He was stubborn and not quite smart, but he didn't have the means to run away from home – or so I'd thought.

So I was in love. Totally in love. I kept thinking about him every moment of the day, I listened to his lessons with rapt attention and was very distracted during the other professors' lectures. I had to hold back my desire to move closer or touch him in the university halls when we happened to cross paths.

As soon as I could, I would rush to his apartment at Bounghold Chase, often finding him there and not leaving until he quenched my thirst with fiery passion. I dreaded the moment I'd have to go home and wouldn't be able to see him for two full weeks.

That winter break I was particularly grumpy. I didn't bring home good results. My mother asked me if I wanted to graduate.

"Maybe you could become an athlete," she suggested. Like Yash had been – Vikram's cousin kept coming back to my mind. "You could win some medals before finding work in gyms or even in schools without having to study books for years."

"I'd rather do the arts," I retorted. "I could specialize in dance and performing..."

"No, Zafar, that's not a viable job." She was adamant. "Since you're not as smart as your sisters, you might as well settle for marriage.
