Jaden, love, where are you?
I haven't seen you in forever and I miss you.
Do you know Tintoretto? David's going to see one of his paintings at the National Gallery.

In the common room. Come find me?
Oh really? Lucky him...

Jack smiled at his computer screen before turning his laptop off and placing it in his trunk next to his Bourbon.
He bounded down the steps and saw Jaden sitting on a coach. He grinned once more and jumped over the back of the couch to fall next to his boyfriend.
"Hello, my love," he said, kissing him. "David's been writing me constantly because he's so excited. It's apparently a painting about the Milky Way or some such, and you know how he's become suddenly obsessed by science and astronomy because of his new physics teacher and he's like a little child again and..." Jack paused to take a breath before he asked, "And how've you been?"

"I've been fine," he said with a small smile. "Nothing too exciting."
But then again, he'd never had much of a poker face.

"What's wrong, dear?" he asked, stroking the boy's hair.

At this point, all Jaden would have wanted to do would be to curl up in a ball and disappear. And turn invisible. Or have something happen to him that would take away the guilty feeling gnawing at the pit of his stomach.
"I- nothing, I just-" He bit his lip, casting his gaze away from Jack's face and instead fixing a spot on the couch. He took a deep breath before continuing, looking back up tentatively.
"Would you forgive me if I ever did something incredibly stupid?" he asked, hoping the tremor in his voice didn't sound as bad as he thought it did.

He nodded, not trusting his mouth to not say something incredibly stupid.

Jaden wrapped his arms even more tightly around his knees and slid his gaze back down to the couch, not trusting himself to look at Jack for fear that he might burst into tears.
"I- I didn't mean to, but I- there was- there was this boy, and- I don't know how it happened, we were just talking, but I didn't mean to, I swear I didn't, but, h-he sort of kissed me and I kissed him back and I'm so sorry I really am I didn't-"
He finally broke off his rambling, which had gotten more and more frantic as his confession went on until the lump in his throat refused to let any other words out. He kept his gaze on the couch, trying to keep the tears in hi eyes from overflowing.

He jumped to his feet and just stared at Jaden. "But I love you..." he said pitiously.

Jaden shook his head almost stubbornly, as if trying to wipe out this whole situation, but only succeeded in releasing the tears that flooded his eyes, causing a few droplets to drip silently across his cheek.
"I'm sorry," he said again, his voice coming out barely above a whisper. "I'm so sorry I really didn't mean for it to happen and I stopped, I did, I'm sorry, I don't know-" His voice cracked again, something between a hiccup and a choke.
He swallowed thickly, clasping his hands tightly together to stop them from shaking. "I love you...I'm so sorry..."
ooc: I am dead. Dead, I tell you!!! *weeps*

"You were my first love Jaden. I can't do this anymore." Jack suddenly gulped some air to stop his tears from falling. "I loved you..."
Jack ran up the stairs to his dorm and fell on his bed, letting himself weep. He glared at David's letter and a replica of the Tintoretto painting fell out. He grabbed it and crushed it in his hand. "I loved you."
