Movin' Up

Zane opened the door to his apartment and walked inside. He stood standing at the door, gazing around the various pieces of furniture and items displayed around him. He sighed and couldn't help but feel a wave of loneliness come over him as he glanced around his rather boring apartment. He hung his bag up on its respective hook and dragged his feet over to the couch where he collapsed and turned on the TV, his first instinct.

Zane was sick of being alone all the time. He didn't think moving out on his own while he was still in high school would be so bad. He went through hell trying to convince his strict parents to let him move out, and when they finally gave in, he was ecstatic that he would finally be on his own. He promised them that he would be able to balance school and three part time jobs, and so far he was keeping that promise. He needed to get away from his home life and his parents(neither of which were particularly thrilled when he told them he was gay), and figured living on his own during his senior year of high school would be good prep for college. He would also be able to keep renting the apartment through college.

He sighed once, before giving in and deciding to find himself some company. He pulled his phone out and scrolled down his contacts list until he found his boyfriend's number. He pressed the call button and awaited an answer. After a good two rings, he finally picked up.

"Hey, what's up?" Riley answered.

"I'm bored and lonely…come over?" Zane asked.

"Sure. Be over in 5." Riley quickly hung up before Zane could say anymore. It was typical of him to rush. Zane just tossed his phone over to the side table and tilted his head back, resting and awaiting the arrival of his boyfriend.

Of course, 5 minutes later, as promised, there was a knock at the door. Zane jumped to his feet and quickly went to answer it. There was his boyfriend, a huge grin on his face, holding a small cardboard box.

"Can I ask what's in the box?" Zane questioned, letting Riley in. Riley proceeded over to the kitchen table and put the box down.

"Remember last week when I embarrassed you in front of Peter and Anya by telling them how you had a panic attack and puked all over the place on our second date at the amusement park?" Zane blushed, but laughed.

"Um, yeah, that's kind of hard to forget since Peter's still making fun of me for it." Riley opened up the box, revealing professional photos of himself from magazines in his underwear. Zane laughed at the sight.

"Riley what is this?" He laughed, flipping through the pictures.

"Last year, a friend of my mom's from work said that I had the look of a model, so offered me the chance to do some modeling for a magazine for cash. It paid pretty well, so I didn't want to turn it down. What I didn't know until I got there was that I was going to be modeling underwear." Riley explained.

"You were an underwear model and you didn't tell me? Riley, obviously I'm not going to be opposed to it. You look hot!" Zane exclaimed.

"You're my boyfriend, and you're gay. Of course you're gonna say that. Peter and Anya will just think they're hilarious. Which is why I grant you permission to show these to them…but ONLY them." Zane looked up at his boyfriend, his smile gone.

"Really? Are you sure? I mean, Riley these are a lot more embarrassing than a story about me puking at the amusement park."

"I know, but I deserve it. I hurt you. I promised you that I would never hurt you, no matter how small the incident was. I love you, and I hate to see you upset." This was the first time Zane had heard Riley say something so deep and meaningful to him. He always had such a hard time expressing his feelings, so he was surprised to see this come out so easily.

Zane put the box down and approached his boyfriend, placing a gentle, passionate kiss on his lips.

"I love you too. I never knew you cared about me so much. I know how hard it is for you to express your feelings, so that was really…new." Riley slid his arms around Zane's waist, while he responded by draping his arms around Riley's neck.

"My "lovey-dovey" side was bound to come out eventually. Especially for you. Anything for you." Zane placed another soft kiss on Riley's lips before letting the question slip.

"Move in with me. Please? It gets so lonely here sometimes, and I always have to call you when I need company. If you move in, I won't have to call anymore, you'll always just be right here." Riley's smile faded and he broke away from their tight embrace.

"Zane…I don't know about that. I mean I don't have a job, I'm still in high school, and I haven't even told my parents I'm gay yet. How am I supposed to tell them I'm moving out to go live with my boyfriend?"

"I'm still in high school too, and Riley, it's really easy to get a job. I can even get you a job at one of the places I'm working right now, they have a few openings. And as for your parents…well you have a couple of options. You can either flat out tell them you're gay," He saw that Riley's eyes widened and he looked shocked. "Or, you can tell them you're getting an apartment with a friend to get used to college life and that you'll keep renting the apartment through college." Riley still looked skeptical.

"I don't know. I don't think it's a good idea right now. Zane, don't get me wrong, I love you, more than anything, but I don' think I'm ready to move in right now. That's a pretty big step in our relationship."

"And that's why I think we should do it. We need to be taking big steps right now. We're getting to that point, Riley. In case you haven't noticed, the biggest step we've taken so far is making out in your car, and most couples are past that by their one month. We've been together for almost 4 months now Ri…it's time to move up." Riley still shook his head.

"And we can take big steps, fine! But This is too big! I'm not ready for this!" Riley screamed.

"Then when WILL you be ready Riley, huh? Ready to move in with me, ready to come out, ready to be yourself? When's that day gonna come?"

"When you stop forcing it on me! You told me I could take my time in this relationship, Zane!"

"Yeah, well frankly, I'm getting tired of waiting Riley!" Riley raised his fist, about to hit Zane, and Zane backed up quickly. The two went completely silent, and Zane's eyes widened. Riley began breathing in and out, trying to calm himself. Once he was sure he was calmed, he turned to his boyfriend.

"Zane…I'm so sorry. My anger management has been going great, and I thought I had it under control…I promised myself I would never hurt you like this…I can't believe I let it get to me. Zane, if I ever did this to you…." Zane paused, really feeling his boyfriend's pain and regret. He knew it wasn't his fault

"It's OK. Normally, I wouldn't forgive someone for this, but…I understand. I know what you're going through and what you've been through and I know that it's hard for you. I know you didn't really mean it and that it was just the anger problems talking. You promised you would never hurt me this way, and I promised I would never get mad at you if you did. I know it's not your fault Ri, and I know you would never really mean it." Riley approached his boyfriend and gave him a hug.

"Zane…this is one of the reasons I can't move in. What if I really do hurt you?" Zane kissed the top of Riley's head.

"You won't. Today, Ri, you almost hit me and you stopped yourself. You have self-control, you're getting there. Please…I love you. Just move in. Make me the happiest guy at Degrassi. We can work on your problem together." Riley sighed and smiled.

"OK. Fine, you got me. I'll move in with you. You're too cute to resist. And anyone who can forgive me that easily gets my love." Zane kissed Riley passionately once more and ran his fingers through his hair.

"You know, I think I've fallen completely in love with you. I think we should just skip moving in and get married instead." Zane joked.

"OK, now THAT'S too much. Imagine me trying to explain that one to my parents."

"Believe it or not, telling them you're moving in with me is going to be a lot harder than telling them your getting married to me." Riley snickered at his boyfriend.

"Thanks. That makes things SO much better now."
