Chapter Six-Silence.

Memories of Darren’s small wave enveloped him warmly as he raced towards the exit, mind still spinning from what he had just done. Darren had saw him, he knew his name!

A hand gripped his shoulder firmly, shocking him out of his thoughts, and spun him to face the owner. “Robert!” He exclaimed, momentarily shocked. Regaining his composure he attempted a calm exterior “I mean Mr Cannavale, how can I help?”

“You think that was so clever don’t you, you little shit.” Robert’s eyes blazed fury.

“No Sir, I think it was acting. I did learn from the expert.” Daniel smiled with a confidence he did not feel and celebrated inwardly as uncertainty entered Robert'’ eyes.

“Well, lover, we’ll be seeing a lot more of each other soon won’t we? Day by day, side by side…” He leaned in and sniffed at the boy. “I for one can hardly wait…”

“Oh Sir, I’m so sorry but your head must be too far up your arse because I didn’t catch a word of that.” Daniel’s heart thumped as the words left his mouth. Had he gone too far?

“You’re going to be one sorry…”

“Hi, sorry to interrupt.” Darren had appeared at Robert’s side looking decidedly unsure as he eyed the two, “I just wanted to go over something with Daniel?” He looked at Robert as he said this, he’s voice slightly trembling. Daniel was disgusted at the look that entered the teacher’s eyes. A look recognised from his turn as the man’s conquest, the undisguised flicker of lust.

“Well actually, Darren, I wanted to go over some of the set pieces with you? If you wouldn’t mind?” He touched Darren’s shoulder gently, Daniel’s heart soared as he saw the other boy flinch.

“I could maybe catch up with you later?” Darren looked at Daniel, his eyes almost seeming to beg for help from the other boy.

“I’m uncertain about some scenes Rob…er Mr Cannavale.” Darren’s eyes widened at the slip. “And since Darren knows the text so well…”

“Sure, yeah. I’ll see you later Darren. Goodbye erm…Dennis its it?” Robert looked from one to the other, trying yet failing to keep the annoyance hidden.

“Danielr. Mr. My name is Daniel.” He smiled slowly as Robert stalked off and turned to see Darren looking at him shyly. “Er…thank you for that..” He shrugged trying to ignore the beating of his heart that seemed to be resounding through his whole body.
“Oh it’s okay. He just looked like he was giving you a hard time.”

You have no idea Daniel thought. “Oh and thank you for letting me in the play. I really didn’t it was going to happen then.”

“Are you kidding? You were amazing!” Darren reddened at his outburst. “I mean, I’ve never seen you in any plays before. Do you take drama?”

“What?” Daniel had zoned out as his eyes were drawn to the other boy’s full, pink lips. “ Oh no! That was my first audition.”

“Really? But you seemed so…so…confident.”

“Oh well, you know…” Fantastically played Mr. Cool. Dazzle him with your wit why don’t you? “Do you want to go…” Make out, make out, make out!” His brain screamed. “…to the library?”

“Yeah, sure. I’ll just go get my bag.” Darren shot him a wide grin and ran off to get his things.

If the hall had not been packed Daniel would have done a small dance of joy right there and then. He mentally hugged himself and fought not to laugh happily. Now all he had to do was think of cool, funny things to say that would sweep Darren off his feet.

*~*~*

“Did you know that the only other creatures, apart from humans, that have sex for recreational reasons are the dolphins?” Stop it! Daniel screamed in his mind.

When the boys had sat down he had grabbed the first book he had saw. Unfortunately this was “100 Amazing Facts” and desperate to fill the uncomfortable silence he kept sharing these with Darren. To his minds despair.

The other boy looked confused for second. Daniel waited for him to pole vault over the bookshelf get get as far away from him as possible. “I wonder how fish have sex?” There was a brief silence as both boys absorbed this then realising the absurdity of the question they both burst out laughing.

“I can’t believe I said that out-loud!” Darren gasped through chokes of laughter.

“I can’t believe how curious I am about it!” Daniel giggled back, enjoying the way the Darren’s whole body shook when he laughed. “You should smile more often, you have a lovely smile.” No!” Daniel felt like pingping himself for thinking out-loud.

“Oh…thank you.” Instead of looking uncomfortable he grinned wider and looked back at his book shyly. Another silence descended but this time it was a comfortable one.

After awhile Darren looked up at Daniel opened his mouth and closed it again. Then again. Then again. Daniel raised an eyebrow. “Is this another question about the sex life of fish?”

“Oh no, no.” He smiled softly, “It’s just…I mean I was wondering. How do you know Mr Cannavale? It just seemed that you know each other well earlier.”

Play this one gently, Daniel. If you blurt the truth you’ll only scare him away. “He’s my English teacher.”

“Really? Mine as well.”

“I know, Darren. We’re in the same class.” Although Daniel spoke the words softly he instantly regretted them as Darren’s face fell.

“I’m so sorry!” Darren exclaimed. “I feel a right…I mean please, don’t take it personally, I’m in my own world in Eng…” Darren swallowed the words and glared down embarrassed.

“Of course I don’t take it personally. I wasn’t trying to embarrass you, I swear! It’s a pretty big school anyway.”

“I really am sorry you know.” Darren looked up, sincerity lighting his beautiful eyes. Daniel almost had to choke back a sob.

All the things people had done to hurt him without once apologising or even caring. All the awful shitty thingat hat had happened in his life and here sat Darren looking in pure sorrow over something so small, so insignificant. The feelings he had felt for the boy were multiplied at that moment.

“Thank you. Apology accepted.” He smiled gently as relief flooded Darren’s face. They stared intently at each other until the final bell of the day rang.

“Oh, I have to go help Rob…Mr Cannavale with the sets! I totally forgot.” Darren swept his books into his bag and leapt up.

“Maybe I could come help? An extra pair of hands and all that?” Daniel licked his lips nervously, he couldn’t let him walk out of here right into Robert’s hands.

“I couldn’t ask you to do that! I mean it’s end of school, you don’t want to be saddled with more work. You know just head home, hang out with your friends and stuff…” Darren turned to go.

“You’re my friend!” Daniel winced at the panic evident in his voice and waited frozen as Darren slowly turned round. He was shocked to see tears in those lovely sapphire eyes. “Darren? Have I upset you?”

“No, no! It’s just that I’ve never…never…had a friend before.” He looked beautiful, fragile and vulnerable. Daniel had n wan wanted to touch him so much as he did then. “Thank you, Daniel.” With that he turned and ran.

To Robert.
