Subject: There's Always Hope Chapter 8

Welcome back! I'm super uber duper major sorry it took me so long to get
this chapter out. I'm thoroughly embarrassed /: I got arrested for
attempted robbery and I haven't had access to a computer for a while :(
Just kidding...I had finals at school and I couldn't find any time to
write. But...I'm back at it! I know this chapter is short, but I wanted to
get one out there. The next one SHOULD be soon following. Enjoy!



Tyler POV: I heard the knock on the door and froze. Who could it be? It
couldn't be Victor...he had a key. Why the fuck wouldn't he just open the
door. I momentarily debated opening it, but I was really curious to see who
it was. So I stood up, headed to the door, and twisted the handle. I was
nervous. How could I explain to anybody why Luke was here...on my
futon...half naked...in the morning? Truth is...I couldn't. And the more I
thought about it, it didn't really matter. I was proud to have Luke with
me, and as long as he didn't care, I didn't mind other people knowing. So I
pulled open the door, prepared for whatever appeared on the other side. And
to my surprise...it was Victor. He had a bag slung over his shoulder, and a
curious expression on his face.

"How's it goin?" he said, and barged past me into the room. He placed his
bag in front of the wardrobe, turned around, and gazed at Luke. Luke looked
back at him with a firm expression on his face, waiting for a
reaction. Victor then nodded his head in Luke's direction with a very
welcoming smile, and started taking off his shirt. "I'm just going to hop
in the shower and change my clothes. I'll be out of your guy's way as soon
as possible." He said walking into the bathroom with change of clothes in
his hand.  What the hell just happened? I was far from confused. I looked
at Luke and he looked just as surprised. Victor must know exactly what's
going on, and he's ok with it? Both Luke and I put on shirts and sat on the
futon staring at the tv.

"He must just not care..." I said, looking over at Luke. I wanted to know
how he felt about it.

"Must not. But if it ever goes south, you can just move in with me" he
leaned in and gave me a quick kiss on the lips. It's amazing how love
controls your mind, it trumps every other emotion. Just the slightest
contact or display of affection can clear your mind and make every worry go
away.

"Well...I practically already do haha" I replied, and it was the truth. I
barely ever slept in my dorm in the last month. I could see the question in
Victor's eyes every time I walked in the room, but he never bothered me
about it. Will that change? I wondered if I should talk to him about it,
just to see if he really was ok with it. It would be nice to know that he
didn't care for sure.

After about 15 minutes Victor walked out of the bathroom fully dressed with
a perfectly normal expression on his face.

"What are your plans for the day?" Victor asked, sounding completely
natural.



Victor POV: When I came out of the bathroom they were sitting fairly close
on the futon watching tv. I acted natural and went to my wardrobe putting
away my dirty clothes and towel. I decided to say something to break the
ice...more like bash the brick wall.

"What are your plans for the day?" I asked looking back at the two, then
back to putting shit away. I could see them look at each other out of the
corner of my eye, then Tyler cleared his throat to say something.

"Uh, not really sure yet. To be determined. What about you?" He replied.

"Probably going to the library to study a little bit." I replied. That
wasn't really my plan. I wanted to sit on my ass all day and watch TV
but...I didn't want to stay in their way. And I needed to study anyways.

"Awesome" he replied. I couldn't imagine how awkward this must be for them,
but I didn't care. I put my books in my backpack and headed out the door.

"See you guys later" I said shutting the door.

Luke POV:

"Well...that wasn't awkward haha" I joked scooting closer to Tyler.

"I'm just glad he didn't flip out and go all homophobic on us haha" he
replied. "I'm gonna take a shower, want to come?" he said getting up and
looking back with a dirty smile. Without missing a beat I stood up and
followed him into the bathroom. Tyler turned on the water while we were
both stripping down. Within seconds we were both completely naked. I could
feel his eyes on me, and I'm sure he was getting the same vibe. I stepped
into the shower, feeling the warm water spread over my skin and slide down
my body. Tyler followed behind me and before I could turn around I felt his
hands on my hips. His body pressed against mine, and his breath tickled the
back of my neck sending shivers through my body. He kissed my shoulder
while his hands roamed the front of my body. I pushed myself back into him;
I could feel his cock press into me getting harder. After a few minutes or
so of Tyler kissing and biting at the back of my neck I couldn't take it
anymore. I turned around, shoved him against the shower wall, and attacked
his lips. I let my hands wander down to his hips and pulled them into
mine. I broke the kiss and started kissing his neck down to his shoulder. I
backed up a little and kneeled down, examining his body. The water running
down him drove me crazy, it made his muscles stand out and his skin
shine. I licked and kissed his abs, moving lower and lower. I was about to
get to the good parts when we heard a knock on the door.

"Is it ok if I come in and just go to the bathroom?" a voice asked through
Tyler's suitemates door. I felt his body tense up, mine to. It took him a
second to reply...

"Uh, I'll be out in just a minute" Tyler replied. We both looked at each
other and silently laughed a little.

"Aight" his suitemate replied. We quickly cleaned up and headed back into
the room as silently as possible.

"Well that totally ruined the moment" Tyler said, moving closer to me. He
grabbed both of my hands interlocking our fingers and pulled me into a
kiss. "Ready for some breakfast?" he asked

"Yup" I replied, pulling him back for another kiss.

The rest of the day was relatively uneventful. Tyler and I hung out for a
bit and we decided to split ways for the rest of the night so we could
study.



Tyler POV: I got done studying and decided to go back to my room for the
night, I wanted to see if Victor would say anything. I arrived at my door,
took a deep breath, and entered to the room prepared for whatever may
happen. Victor was sitting at his desk, he gave me a quick welcoming smile
then went back to whatever the hell he was doing. I threw my stuff on the
futon, sat down, and opened up my laptop. I kept glancing over towards
Victor waiting for him to say something but...not shit. An hour or so went
by and I couldn't take it anymore. I needed to know why he hasn't said
anything.

"So...do you not know, or not care that Luke and I were sleeping in here
together last night." I asked out of the blue. I could see it caught him
off guard a little, but he answered fairly quickly.

"It's honestly not that big of a deal to me. I'm assuming you two
are...uh...together?" He stuttered back.

"Yea, kinda have been for a while now. And you don't care?" I responded, I
wanted to know how he felt about the whole thing.

"Nope, it's fine. What did you think? That I'd walk in screaming faggot
then throw all your shit out the window and make you move out?" He
responded sarcastically laughing a little.

"Well...yea, kinda haha" I responded, laughing back.

"It's perfectly ok with me, your stuff can stay in the room." He said,
still smiling. We both went back to what we were doing but I had one more
question.

"Why didn't you stay at the party? I thought you said you were staying the
night...hence the reason why you found Luke with me" I was still curious to
know why he came back.

"Uh things got out of hand and I didn't want to be there." He
responded...there sounded like there was a lot more to the story but...he
obviously didn't want to talk about it, so I just let it be. I texted Luke
about my talk with Victor, thought he might be curious. I was definitely
relieved everything was ok. Things could've been a lot worse.

Victor POV:

Tyler officially knew I was ok with him not being straight, which was a
relief to me. The last thing I wanted was him thinking I hated him, I
couldn't bear that thought. Every time I saw him I couldn't help but feel
happy, and I couldn't control it. We were both lying in our beds, and I
assumed Tyler was asleep...so I sat up and looked over at him. He looked so
peaceful lying so still, I wanted to be near him. I felt attached, he
dominated my thoughts. And what sucks the most is I can't tell him. He's
already with Luke, and he seemed happy, and I would never do anything to
ruin that. After I stared at him for what seemed like forever, laid back
down and went to sleep.

Tyler POV:

My eyes were closed, but I could feel it. I could feel his eyes on me and
they wouldn't go away. I opened my eyes for a split second and there he
was, staring right at me. He looked deep in thought, and after what seemed
like forever. I heard him lye back down, sleep soon following. Why was he
staring at me like that? I didn't understand...



That's it for now! I'm looking to have the next one out asap. Once
again...any comments, suggestions, love notes, hate mail, and any other
type of email you could possibly construct...send to jt6355x@gmail.com and
I shall reply. Thanks!
