Romancing

IT WAS GETTING close to the end of the semester and there were still too many group papers and exams to be turned in, as well as research to be done. Luca’s father was on his case about not forgetting his studies, questioning him about his sudden time away. Luca didn’t lie and told him how it was.

“Father, we’re required to turn some of these tests in as a group and, frankly, I enjoy hanging out with them. They’re fun.”

His father had given him a skeptical look. “Fun. This is no time to have fun, Luca. You need to focus on your studies, becoming a surgeon is no easy task.”

“Yes, Father, I know. But they have the same pressure I do. We’re all pre-med, remember,” Luca had replied quickly, meaning nothing by it.

“Don’t get snappy with me, Luca. You will do as I tell you.” He’d been silent for a moment, looking at him with stern eyes, exactly the way he always did. “Fine. But if I see one slip in your grades, one…” he emphasized the word, “you’re cut off. You hear me?”

Luca had nodded, promising there wouldn’t be a slip of any kind.

Most of his schoolwork with his classmates could, of course, be done over the net. Why do that, though, when doing it in person was so much more fun, especially when it included being with Kai. The best part was, Luca didn’t have to feel guilty. Well, at least not more so. Other than hiding the reason why he was so eager to be with Kai—none of it was a lie. They did have fun in between the books. To be perfectly honest, they spent a lot of time in the parks on a blanket studying together and much less time in the library or school computer labs. He was studying, though, that was the whole point, right? He was happy, together they were in this perfect bubble, and he had a new friend. Life was good.

Luca’s last class for the day was finished. A bounce in his step, he was moving faster than usual. He couldn’t wait to see Kai; he was so excited, it made his stomach flutter.

They’d been seeing each other nonstop for almost four weeks, and it was perfect. Their trip to Varberg the previous week was something they both still lived on. Things had happened on that trip to bring them even closer. They’d gotten serious a lot quicker than he’d ever expected. But he didn’t try to ponder it too much. Doing so only led him to feel hopeless and sad, because he knew his future didn’t consist of him and Kai as a couple. He knew that much.

But, instead of their relationship getting less intense, the intensity was growing and becoming stronger. The more time they spent together, the harder it was not to touch, smell, and feel Kai at all times. The best thing he knew was to nuzzle Kai’s neck, sliding his nose over the warm smooth skin there, breathing him in.
