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.65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0DRbwlIhI

The first words out my mouth were, "What the fuck is that smell?"65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi8G8dHoTg

The mattress sank as the stranger sat down. Then they chuckled. It was definitely a male.65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwt9FDaNk4

"You're worried about the smell and not whether you'll live long enough to see the sunrise?"65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXx1DVvPFH
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7dMhTqrGK
"How long have I been here?" I demanded.65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrPTkApr4k
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOhZQUVlKA
"Not long," he said. "I'm still deciding what to do with you as it stands."65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24IgRZ9hqQ

"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.65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwkSwaNrvx

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.65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n9D8Y6RYR
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OC9Xf7Ijk
"Why did you do that?" I asked, my voice calm, though inside I was terrified.65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT8VNPORj9
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkxBYFz5xy
"Because you wanted me to do it."65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAmzJjOQ18

"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.65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8N2JMIjRg

"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."65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCakWF960P

With that, he stood up and left the room, leaving me to do nothing but stare into the darkness.65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSOm6bWDln

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.65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwucwScsVkw

"Are you comfortable?" asked a voice.65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxT3x7FJgW

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.65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjejsNyCsqX

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.65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zuwXuzsam

"You're still wondering what you're doing here, aren't you?" he asked, turning his head. He was smirking at me.65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNomCVOe1Tj
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVT2sRw1jH
"No, I thought I'd just ignore the fact that I was fucking kidnapped." I rolled my eyes.65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxvNklK1yU

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.65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITO1EMffYu
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvh7U7XbuQ
"Stop," I said, glaring at him.65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy6T8am3YQ

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."65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmCKtxSrJm

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.65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEgk0ZJ9Xn
