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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYOzBsFgX1

The first words out my mouth were, "What the fuck is that smell?"474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF34YKpWlnA

The mattress sank as the stranger sat down. Then they chuckled. It was definitely a male.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnPt75Tpl2

"You're worried about the smell and not whether you'll live long enough to see the sunrise?"474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduJB58UWmY

"How long have I been here?" I demanded.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uqsiopzmX

"Not long," he said. "I'm still deciding what to do with you as it stands."474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKPIVUBwPT

"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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV0VDI4zxE

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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfljqijj0TY

"Why did you do that?" I asked, my voice calm, though inside I was terrified.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dBAa3qkvd
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnhk7v6wQW
"Because you wanted me to do it."474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9alrjeyaJ

"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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjjaX5NTry

"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."474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95kN9J6S5m

With that, he stood up and left the room, leaving me to do nothing but stare into the darkness.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssB8Ul1Rxa

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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnyUwdguDn

"Are you comfortable?" asked a voice.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8PuSPR04J

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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfGgS53Z2O

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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63AEwvULLo

"You're still wondering what you're doing here, aren't you?" he asked, turning his head. He was smirking at me.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCHtOii6OY
474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ31dq94JVN
"No, I thought I'd just ignore the fact that I was fucking kidnapped." I rolled my eyes.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9vWDDEXHk

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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl89eA2HAE

"Stop," I said, glaring at him.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtJj9QEW3z

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."474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uSi8V55SX

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.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuBEwpmTUb
