The next time I opened my eyes, I thought I was blind. The bed I lay on creaked as I moved, and there was a smell of decay. My nose twitched and I felt my stomach turn. I wanted to throw up from the stench, but before I made any sort of decision, the door on the other side of the room opened, then closed. Footsteps came closer to me, and then stopped.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H0tZkZhaM

The first words out my mouth were, "What the fuck is that smell?"282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm1lEYq2El

The mattress sank as the stranger sat down. Then they chuckled. It was definitely a male.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf6ych1FWE

"You're worried about the smell and not whether you'll live long enough to see the sunrise?"282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHixPpjfHPP
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBXvaERUoW
"How long have I been here?" I demanded.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjcBzxkUZg
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyQDCYj0yX
"Not long," he said. "I'm still deciding what to do with you as it stands."282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNcIGdqzSG

"But you just said you were going to kill me," I muttered angrily. I didn't want to die. But I wanted this fucker to make up his mind.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMHjl8O8oi

He moved slowly, and his hand touched my neck, his fingers curling around my windpipe. He didn't press, just tested, but I didn't move a muscle. Then he leaned forward and his lips touched mine. It was only for a few seconds, but it was enough for me to not lose myself.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB1AEypj8h
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6gCUSLpCH
"Why did you do that?" I asked, my voice calm, though inside I was terrified.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJiG9wJCBC
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1GGGlpYRs
"Because you wanted me to do it."282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKrCydw83K
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA9Fds2NVi
"How do you know that?" I said, sitting up slightly. I hated that I couldn't see his face. I wanted to know who I was talking to. Who knew this one particular secret about me. "Who are you?" I hissed.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg5xBTlca6

"Don't worry," he whispered. His hands were on either side of my body now, and he was on his knees in front of me. Again, he pressed his mouth to mine and I could taste something salty on his tongue. When he pulled away, I let out a slow breath. "You'll find out soon enough, Jared."282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa2hOgkDpa
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8AdfiLX6m
With that, he stood up and left the room, leaving me to do nothing but stare into the darkness.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEfHr3s8xU

I must have fallen asleep, because when I opened my eyes again, I could see the window and the sunlight streaming through it. The rotten smell from before was gone, replaced by a fresh scent, and I could now see that the room I was in looked very much like a teenager's; there were posters plastered to the walls, a computer in the far corner, and clothes thrown on the floor.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf62SElO1G
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbVxoTi0Xr
"Are you comfortable?" asked a voice.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfGfgrzlpW
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAF82rn5Pa
I looked up into a part of deep blue eyes, almost sapphire, a crooked smile and dark hair. I blinked, trying to get my brain to work right, to remember that this guy, though handsome, was a kidnapper and possible killer.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHVBebeRPZ

He sat down next to me and I could see that he was wearing a pair of ratty jeans and a band shirt. He wasn't facing me so I couldn't see the name on the shirt, not that it mattered.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcgJGhov5c

"You're still wondering what you're doing here, aren't you?" he asked, turning his head. He was smirking at me.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdQOyV8CBj
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb7V8rtGE4
"No, I thought I'd just ignore the fact that I was fucking kidnapped." I rolled my eyes.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1ZrRZ1bzQ

He moved closer to me, his arm brushed mine. I wanted to get away from him, badly, but my body wouldn't let me. In the back of my mind, I wanted to know how he knew something so personal about me, when no one else knew. I didn't really advertise my being gay, so I didn't know how he figured it out.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMOABtimHk
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC8ETzGyuG
"Stop," I said, glaring at him.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA6XdckDrF
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBI5ZmxjgQ
A smile tugged at the boy's lips before he lifted his hand and wrapped his fingers in my hair. "No," he said, his voice thick with sudden anger. "I won't. That's not what you want."282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qf0jhb9VJ
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr53gft2jx5
What I wanted was something I was sure he wouldn't give me anytime soon. I didn't want to be on the outside anymore.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zSBdA02At
