Nasir made it 20 feet outside the school doors before Agron caught up with him and grabbed his arm, "You can't just kiss me like that then take off without explaining what just happened."

He pulled his arm out of Agron's grasp and stared at Agron with so much anger, "You don't get to tell me what you do. You are not my father so please just leave me alone."

He turned back around and tried heading to his car but he was stopped again by Agron, "I am not trying to be your father but I think that it's unfair for you to kiss me like that and then run out on me."

"It is your fault that you manipulated the situation so that you got what you wanted."

Agron looked at Nasir in shock, "I didn't manipulate anything; I was just trying to woo you and maybe get you to see that I am not such a bad guy."

Nasir turns and faces away from Agron, "I told you that I just wanted to be friends."

"But by the way you just kissed me back there proves that you want to be more than friends."

"Like I said before you manipulated the situation." Nasir continued to look off into the distance.

Agron growled, "Will you stop saying that. I didn't try to manipulate you or anything else. I was just trying to express the way I feel for you and you are taking offense to it."

Nasir sighed, "I also told you that it wasn't going to be good if we were together."

"I remember all that you said at the beach but I can't help how I feel." Agron grabbed his arm and pulled Nasir around, "I like you a lot, a whole lot more than I have ever liked anyone before and I wasn't completely satisfied that we were just friends. I also know that you like me even though you don't want to admit it."

Nasir was about ready to argue but then his mouth was too busy because Agron pulled him into a kiss. He tried to fight at first but Agron had a death grip on him and it seemed to be impossible to resist Agron's kisses. He sighed into the kiss and started kissing him back; he put his arms around Agron's neck to pull him in closer. Their tongues danced together and Nasir could feel his resolve crumbling.

Agron pulled back and trailed kisses now his neck; Nasir breathed heavily, "Justin."

Agron moved his lips from Nasir's neck and looked Nasir in the eyes, "Agron."

He was trying to understand why Agron was saying his own name, "What?"

"My name is Agron, you just called me Justin."

Nasir broke out of Agron's arms, "No no no no, this can't be happening." He ran his hand through his hair and looked away.

Agron must have seen that he was about ready to bolt again because he grabbed onto his arm, "What is wrong Nasir? Did you meet someone else?"

"I don't want to talk about it." Nasir was trying to get his arm out of Agron's grasp but it wasn't working.

"Please talk to me Nasir, why did you call me Justin?"

Nasir turned around and yelled in his face, "What part of 'I don't want to talk about it' don't you understand? Please just let me go."

The soft caring look on Agron's face almost broke Nasir, "I just care about you and I want to know why you suddenly look really sad."

Nasir hadn't even known that he looked sad. He looked at Agron more and saw that he genuinely cared, he sighed, "I had a boyfriend 1 year ago before I moved here. His name was Justin and he was just like you. He was a bad boy who drove a motorcycle and loved going to parties. I started dating him and things were great, I rode around with him on his bike. He took me to parties and did stupid stunts like you guys did at that party." Nasir paused and looked across the parking lot trying to avoid meeting Agron's eyes, "I never asked him to stop doing what he did because I found it exciting and sexy but I should have because I could have saved him. One night I couldn't go to a party with him because my parents grounded me and kept me in their sights so that I wouldn't sneak out. That night Justin went to the party by himself and got pretty wasted to the point that he couldn't think clearly. After he was done at the party he rode home on his bike and ended up swerving into the other lane. He had a head on collision with a semi truck and he died instantly."

Nasir paused again, the tears were flowing down now and his voice broke. He took a shuddered breath before continuing, "If I had been there that night I wouldn't have let him drive that bike but most of all if I had just taken the time to ask him to stop then he could still be alive today."

Agron was shocked after hearing this story, now he fully understood why Nasir was trying to not be with him. In his shocked state Nasir made his escape, he finished the way to his car and took off. Agron was too stunned to really move and he watched Nasir drive out of the parking lot.

A few days went by and Nasir hadn't come back to school, Agron was starting to worry that maybe he moved away again or he transferred to a different school. Finally on the last day of school Nasir's car pulled into the parking lot, Agron was about ready to jump up and go to him but then he decided against it. He wanted to see if Nasir would be the one to come to him.

Nasir parked his car and got out; he scanned the parking lot until his eye landed upon Agron. He could see Nasir take a deep breath before he closed the car door and walked towards Agron.

When Nasir finally reached Agron he stopped and looked him in the eyes, "Hi."

"Hi." Agron didn't know what else to say.

He could feel the awkwardness in the air around them; Agron broke the silence, "So the story you told me the other day is that the reason why you don't want to be with me?"

Nasir nodded his head, "Yeah I was still hurt from all that and you reminded me of him so much that it scared me."

Agron looked down feeling guilty, "I am sorry. If I had known what happened to you I wouldn't have pushed you like I did."

"It's not your fault that you didn't know, I should have told you." Nasir placed his hand on Agron's arm.

He looked back up into Nasir's eyes, "I know how it feels to lose someone." Agron doesn't ever talk about this to anyone anymore but he felt like he should share this with Nasir since he told him about Justin.

Nasir cocked his head to the side, "Really?"

"Yeah." Agron took a deep breath and let the words spill out, "About 3 years ago my family and I went on vacation. We were driving down that highway and my parents are singing horribly to some music while my brother Duro and I were in the back trying to decide if we were embarrassed or thought it was hilarious. After an hour of this we were driving next to a semi truck and we must have been in the drivers blind spot because he started to come into our lane. My dad slammed the brakes and honked the horn but it was too late; he had to swerve over and it caused the car to flip over a couple of times. At one point I was knocked unconscious." Agron paused because some tears were starting to form at the corner of his eyes, "A few days later I wake up in the hospital bed with my parents on either side of me crying. I was so relieved to see them alive and so were they but they also seemed really sad also. I asked what was wrong and it took them awhile to tell me what happened."

Full tears were falling down his eyes now and he let out a sob, "Duro had died before the ambulance could get there." He put his face in his hands and started to cry heavily, next thing he knew he could feel Nasir's arms go around him.

"I am so sorry that you had to deal with that."

After Agron calmed down a little bit he finished his story, "Shortly after the accident my mom went crazy and took off while my dad put work first. He started to slowly ignore me until the point that he doesn't really talk to me anymore or even listens to what I say. I could tell him that I killed 10 people and he wouldn't even react."

Nasir pulled back from Agron, "Wow and I was the only one with a messed up life."

Agron looked into Nasir's eyes, "I was thinking last night and I realized that I started doing the stuff I do now because of what happened. I never realized how much my life had changed but I want to let you know Nasir I don't think I can change myself again. This is who I am now and it won't change."

Nasir nodded his head, "I understand and I don't think I can change who I am. That is what I was trying to do, I was trying to change what type of guys that I like and that is not possible."

He was confused now, Nasir basically said that he can't change the fact that he likes boys like Agron but he has to make sure that is what he meant, "What exactly are you trying to say Nasir?

Nasir slowly placed his hand on Agron's cheek and pulled him closer, "I have been trying to deny my feelings for you but they won't go away and I am tired of fighting them." Nasir smirked before he leaned in the rest of the way and brushed his lips against Agron's.

He didn't move at first because he was afraid that Nasir would pull away again and take off like before. After a few seconds of Nasir kissing him he pulled back and looked into Agron's eyes, "Please kiss me Agron, I promise I won't run away this time."

Nasir must have been reading his mind, Agron sighed and started kiss Nasir back. He still held back a little bit but soon he couldn't even do that. After a few seconds of kissing Nasir pulled back but stayed pressed to Agron's body, "I am so sorry that I kept running away from you like that."

"It's fine, I understand why you did it." Agron shrugged his shoulder.

"It still doesn't give me the right to treat you like that." Nasir ran his hands through Agron's hair, "I feel like skipping classes today, did you want to join me?"

Agron smirked, "I would love too. Did you want to go in your car?"

Nasir shook his head, "Nope I want to ride with you."

This shocked Agron, "Are you sure?"

He leaned forward and gave Agron a peck on the lips, "I am absolutely sure but can you just not go so fast."

"I would go as slow as a turtle." Agron laughed

Nasir laughed, "I don't think that would be necessary."

Agron reached into the pouch on the back of his bike and pulled out his spare helmet. He placed it on Nasir's head and fastened that strap. He leaned forward and kissed Nasir again before he got his own helmet on and got on the bike. After Nasir got on the bike Agron kick started the bike and drove out of the school parking lot, loving the feeling of Nasir's arms around him.

THE END
