《Keeping The Balance》Chapter Forty-Seven – Bullied Model Student – Task World Four (7)
Advertisement
Hol was waiting outside the school gate for Glenn to show up. They were finally going to have a sleepover and Hol was excited. He couldn’t sleep last night because he was making sure his room was extra clean. He also made sure that his bed was extra comfortable, it was possible that his lover would sleep in the same bed as him.
‘Okay, okay… Try not to get hard. It would be so awkward if I did that. What if he thinks I am a pervert…’ Hol took out a cigarette and was smoking it so he could calm down his nerves. It was helping but it stopped working when he saw Glenn running towards him with such a big smile on their face that made Hol feel like he was floating.
“Sorry I was taking so long. I had to talk to a teacher about something boring. We can go to your house now.” Glenn felt like the bag he was holding with his sleeping clothes and clothes for tomorrow was super heavy. He was finally going to sleep over at Axl's home. He is going to be in their room, just the two of them. He really can’t calm down at all…
“Yeah… My ride is waiting for us. It's nothing much or anything.” Hol was feeling nervous for some reason. He doesn’t want to look bad in front of Glenn. He always gets like this with his lover. He is so calm around other people but he gets all lovesick next to them.
“So that is your ride that was waiting for us… It is something…” How could Glenn politely say this… Axl is super fucking rich. His family couldn’t dream of getting such a fancy-looking car and have it still looking all brand new. He was getting nervous about messing up at Axl's home. He bet it is super fancy and shit like that. Why is his crush so rich?!

Hol didn’t notice what Glenn was currently going through and opened the door to the car so that they could go in first. He closed the door behind him as he got in the car after Glenn. They seem rather tense as they sat in the car so Hol decided to put his head on their shoulder.
“Just relax, everything will be okay. I like you the best when you are relaxed. Not in a weird way or anything like that…” Hol was messing around with his fingers as he said this. His face felt warm and he hoped that Glenn couldn’t notice this.
Glenn didn’t reply, just rested his head on top of Axl. His face grew hot when he placed his hand over Axl. He didn’t know who did it first but their fingers were interlocking. It felt rather nice just holding their hand.
After a while of just holding hands with Glenn, they finally got to his home. Hol let Glenn get out of the car first and made sure to hold their bag with all their clothes in it. He hoped the way he was acting was normal, not awkward. How does one act around their lover? Should he be super relaxed? He never knows what to do!
“Ma, I am home and I have a friend with me! Don’t be weird!” Hol raised his voice as soon as he entered the house. Glenn looked a bit nervous as they looked over the house but they didn’t have to worry about anything.
“My grandson brought his friend over? How cute! I just finished making dinner so how about your friend put his bag in your room. You can help me share the food. Axl's room is to the left after you come up the stairs!” Lanita pushes Glenn toward the stairs before grabbing Hol by his arm and dragging him toward the kitchen. For an old woman, her gripe was rather strong.

“So… Isn’t he cute?” Lanita was looking at him with a smile on her face that he didn’t enjoy. Hol was using a stepping ladder to get the plates for the food and trying to ignore the fact his face was burning hot.
“I remember asking you to not be weird! You are currently being WEIRD! Don’t embarrass me in front of Glenn, please.” Hol was kind of aggressive as he placed the plates on the table but it wasn’t strong enough to break the plates. He could still feel Lanita's eyes on his back and feel her smug smile.
“Okay, I promise. I won’t do anything weird. Now be gentle with those plates or else I will get mad.” Lanita finally took her eyes off his back and he could finally relax but that didn’t last long since Glenn came back from his room.
Glenn changed out of their school clothes and was wearing a buttoned-up shirt that looked big on them and short pants. Hol could feel his body tense up again and he just had the urge to hug Glenn so tight while kissing all over their face.
“D-Do you need help?” Glenn was a bit nervous as he looked at the older woman who was Axl's grandmother. She was such a pretty-looking woman and he was worried about looking bad in front of her.
“No, no! You are the guest! Relax and wait for the food at the table. I have my cute grandson helping me out. My cute single grandson.” Lanita gave a wink at Glenn and Hol felt like his soul wanted to leave out of his body at that moment. He shot a glare at her but she just ignored it with a smile on her face.
“O-Oh, I see? That is good… I will wait at the table.” Glenn tried to make eye contact with Axl but they were avoiding his eyes. It seemed like they were embarrassed at the moment and he couldn’t help but think that made them even cuter. He likes seeing them embarrassed…
Lanita couldn’t help but smile to herself when she noticed what was currently happening. Her grandson was so embarrassed and his crush was looking at him with eyes that her husband used to give her when they thought she wasn’t paying attention.
She was rather worried that Axl would never fall in love because of his useless old man who didn’t know how to be faithful. But now she can relax knowing her grandson doesn’t find love useless. She should celebrate! What would be a good thing to give her grandson? He is into a new metal band so she should probably get some CDs for him.
Lanita couldn’t help but hum to herself as she cooked. She was probably going overboard with how much food she was making but Axl was looking a bit skinny and that was not good at all! He is a growing boy who needs to eat a lot!

Ode to Freud
For those who do not understand the reference, "wish fulfillment" is before anything a term created by Sigmund Freud in the 1900's. In psychology it is a state of satisfying unconscious needs and desires by the use of fantasy and delusion. In literature it is the very base of fictional work, but also the name of a style of writing where the author sacrifices the key elements of good storytelling in order to fulfill his own psychopathic, neurotic or perverse needs and desires, usually through the use of the characters in weird and forced situations. What I meant by the title of this story is that it is a trashy, badly written, shitty story about me getting some wish fulfillment by the use of some characters and a fictional world of my creation. Not the good kind of fulfillment, since my wishes are of the bad kind and I intend to fulfill those, not yours. Also, being a total amateur and not writing a proper plot before starting are two big indicators that this story is going to go bad. I guess Royal Road call this kind of stories the "Mary Sue" kind. So, unless you are a very ugly piece of trash (at least as much as I am) don’t bother reading it. Now, if you ARE messed up on the level of a clinically depressive, lightly suicidal, lolicon/shotacon aligned morbidly obese hikikomori vermin who sold his virginity to a prostitute and is currently living at the costs of his widowed mother after expending all the money he got from his father’s inheritance, all the while masturbating furiously to beast/furry dickgirl hentai, then be welcomed. Please feel free to get a serving at my antidepressants and also at the canned tuna I have stored in the fridge. There may be some cheese somewhere, and I am pretty sure I bought some juice the other day, but I have no idea where it is. Anyway. You may dislike what I write because of all the amauteur(ish) writing, or you may not. Who knows. Give it a try and write a comment. It gets lonely writing to no one. Also, feel free to grant me inspiration not only by making comments about the world and/or characters, but specially by suggesting a music for me to listen while I write the next chapter. Be warned : I do get influenced easily by the background music I listen while writing. If you exist, of course. I'm seriously doubting anyone has read anything after the "lolicon hikikomori" thing. Also, I have a tiny dick.Just so you can feel better about yourself a little more. Or maybe I have just degraded psychologically a little more and now I am into shame-play. I wonder if the psychiatrist would increase my meds a bit if I told her about it.Hope I never get to penispanick, though! Self-mutilation, especially of the castration type, would be baaaad. After all, I do like my prostitutes. And having sex with them when I can afford it. Oh, yeah, the story. I will just write the first chapter in a few moments.Until later, b(i)each.
