Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Don't thank me... I should be thanking you for coming when you did, for bringing me to your home, for opening your heart to a kid no one else has loved. I am not sweet, at least I don't think so." He said with a laugh before he blushed feeling the man's lips on the top of his head.

Home... Now that sounded nice. "Yes, lets go home. I want to get out of here." Travis said staying close to the man to be sure that no one would stop him from leaving. "Why did you have those men bring me here anyways? You could have just called and be done with it I would figure out it was you of course but by then it wouldn't have mattered right."

Travis shook his head but didnt argue with the older male. Sure he might be different, but special? He couldn't see it. What he could see was that Takano really did care about him and we'll honestly, he felt his heart open if only a bit more to the man. He didnt know why he didnt want to trust anyone, okay he did know, but was it really so bad when the person next to him wanted him safe?

"It's not that I didnt want to see you... I needed space after what had happened, to clear my head.i mean I slept with you.... The first person I sleep with is well a man and my teacher? That is a lot to take in. Sure I was aware I was gay, but to actually well do something like that was a shock to me. As for being okay, I've been okay for two years alone, it's actually not that hard to live on your own."

"It was sudden yes, but it... Wasnt wrong to want to express your feelings for someone else. I... Would have done the same thing in your place I'm sure." Seeing the sad look Travis felt terrible, he couldn't explain it but his heart felt heavy.

"I don't want to be alone, not anymore as for the touching... It wasnt unpleasant. Actually I enjoyed it." He didnt mention that he hurt afterwards but he was sure Takano knew that. "I believe I can come to love you... It will just take a bit longer for me to open up."

Travis looked at his teacher for a moment before he got out of the car. "Well, you deserve a chance and I want to give you that chance. I might not love you, but I like you and that's a start right?"

As he went into the man's home he looked down for a moment. "Why not surprise me. Just don't add anything special this time around." He joked with a light laugh.

Travis nodded and went to explore the house. When he poked his head into Takano's room he looked concerned. Kelly did say something about him trying suicide, was this that attempt? Had Travis called just before the other was going to? Suddenly the teen sank to the ground unsure of what he was feeling. He didnt want Takano to die, to lose him. He looked at the man when he spoke the thought of dinner forgotten as his arms went around the man's waist.

"I don't know what I feel for you, but I don't want to lose you... Tell me, what were you going to do if you never saw me again?"

Travis shook slightly hearing the other speak. He wouldn't forgive himself if Takano had ended his life. "I... You promise you won't do that or try to kill yourself. If you do I really won't forgive you." the teen said looking serious. He didn't know why he did the next bit. Standing as tall as he could he kissed Takano and didn't pull away for a few minutes. "I care about you... I won't lose you, not when I've started to realize what I feel for you, what I think I feel."

When he broke the kiss Travis looked at Takano but didn't say anything for a moment instead he listened to the man. "I think I love you... I can't explain what else it is I'm feeling otherwise." hearing that the man wouldn't hurt himself the teen nodded.

"I can't be the first. Kelly cares about you too. I know she does." was all he could say about that.
