Their Secret Love {Maven}

[Faye]

Middle of the day. Third period of the school day to be precise. It was a nice day to be honest, nearing the end of winter almost, Sven could feel the temperature rising with each day, he was kind of looking forward to it. It being an island and all, it had a lovely beach and outdoor sights to go see, but they were only decent during the warmer months of the year so him and his new boyfriend; Matthew had barely anything to do together outside. Inside was another story, hehe. Anyway, it was English time, Matthew and Sven had this class together, which was a bonus for Sven, he loved spending time with him, it made him feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Brightened up his whole day. There was no love, though, not at all. Never... it could not happen.

He enjoyed English, too, even if Matthew wasn't in that class, it was still his favourite subject of all time. He inspired to be a great journalist one day and travel the world to find out the juicy gossip somewhere or let people's voices be heard. Hah, luckily excitement and melancholy weren't a part of the 'do not feel this emotion' list.

Sven wore his uniform neatly, no illegal items on it, he had to set a good example for the other students, he was the Vice-President of the Student Council, a lot of people looked up to him and Nicolette. They ran the school! Basically. "Where are we sitting today?" Sven asked, breaking their silence, they walked rather close to each other, their hands brushing against one anothers on the odd occasion. Though it could be potrayed as intentional, no one was to know that, no one could find out about them.

[Nicolette]

It was Thursday, six days since the school dance that still had people talking. The power had gone out mid-dance and everyone had to be dismissed from it. No doubt it was caused by the Student Freedom Force.

Matthew Fletcher had not been there to witness it for he had to take a certain Vice President of the Student Council back to their dormitory room because he had gotten drunk off the spiked punch. The rest of the night had been spent with them quite close, kissing and dancing together in their living room. They had gone to sleep in the same bed that evening.

Now, Matt stood at his boyfriend's side, looking around the English room. They had journalism together, which had quickly become one of the ex-idol's favorite classes because it meant he got to be with the older male. His eyes scanned the room and he found two desks side-by-side three rows in, near the window. He held his hand up to point at the two seats.

"There's a couple of seats."

They moved to sit down just as the teacher came in. Matt brought out his notebook and opened it to a blank page, taking his pen and writing the date up at the top so he could take notes.

[Faye]

To Sven's surprise, the sound of Matthew's voice made his heart flutter a little, his chest warmed up inside and he smiled. Clearly there was some fireworks going on between them now. He looked over to where Matthew suggested and nodded, agreeing that they should sit there, it was in a decent spot, about the middle of the classroom yet secluded from the rest of the people. In the classroom was a few early students, some looking out the window and a few getting ready to take some notes before the class actually fully started. The teacher was no where to be found at the time.

They sat down, Sven was beside the wall so he sat side-ways on his seat to see the teacher easier and also be able to talk to Matthew a little bit. However something made him turn around once the teacher walked in, casually as usual. He unzipped his backpack and withdrew a notebook and two pens, red and black. He found using different colours to highlight certain words help him remember things a little better. With a smile he clicked his red pen down and drew a small heart in the corner of the first blank page he came to in his note book. He moved the page a little for Matthew to see.

[Nicolette]

While Matt waited for the class to start, he focused on Sven talking to him, taking in his every word. Though, his mind also wandered a little to the thought of how he was lucky to have Sven as his boyfriend. The older male was so proper and many admired him for his position. Matt was merely the new kid with the messy black hair who looked like a peasant when compared to Sven, who looked like a noble.

The younger student's eyes noticed the movement of Sven's notebook and couldn't help but let a small smile slip onto his lips before he looked down at his own notebook. He took a single sheet out and brought his black pen to write in his elegant style.

'You're silly.' He wrote simply.

He then folded it up into a decent size and slid it forward, slipping it down the back of Sven's seat where the teacher couldn't see.

[Faye]

Sven gingerly reached for the piece of paper that Matthew sneakily slid to him, he opened it quietly, smiling as he read it. Matthew's hand-writing was so elegant and amazing, he was feeling a little jealous, he always thought his own handwriting was messy and all over the place. But that was mainly because he wrote so quickly sometimes, when he tried and wasn't feeling rushed, however, it looked decent enough. Sometimes.

He kept his red pen so they could tell the difference between what they were saying, though it wouldn't be hard since their writing style would be so different but still, it helped. He put his pen to the paper and began writing, "Oh, why~?" He snickered to himself, knowing this would be an interesting conversation, typical of new couples. He gently folded it back up, sliding it with his hand covering it, back over to Matthew for him to read. He quickly scanned the room to make sure the teacher didn't see, as well as other students. They were known to randomly shout 'They're sending notes!' when people did things like this. Knowing the teacher, he would probably read it out loud to the class, too, they had to be careful in what they said.

[Nicolette]

Matt read the response and couldn't help but let another small smile slip on his lips. Sven's handwriting was very different from his image, but Matt found it to be cute. He tapped his pen to his bottom lip for a moment in thought before letting the tip touch the paper before he wrote.

'You just are. But that's what makes you so likeable; even though you have this beautiful, elegant look, you can still be a little silly. Adds more mystery to you. Mystery is hot. ^_~'

He passed the note forward to his boyfriend and wrote a few notes down in his notebook as the teacher began to lecture. Even in Journalism, the teacher droned.

[Faye]

Sven let out a frustrated, but quiet sigh as the teacher droned on about what they were going to be doing today, what things they needed to note down about their current assignment that would be due in within a few more weeks, gave them plenty of time but the 'theory' side of things was a little boring. All he seemed to go on about was the previous people who passed with absolute flying colours, how it amazed them so... Gah. He wished he could shut him up so he could get to the point of what he was saying.

Before his frustration levels could get any higher, Matthew passed the note back, which calmed him immensely and it brought a smile to his face, Matthew was so cute~. He wrote down a few things that the teacher asked them to jot down so he didn't get into any trouble for not paying attention. Definite bad image for the Vice-President to have. Like a death sentence to his reputation almost. "Aww... That's so sweet, but I don't know what's so 'mysterious' about me, really, you seem pretty mysterious yourself, though," He wrote, changing his slant of writing to more of a print and also hinting towards Matthew's random eye contacts etc. He nearly gagged at his handwriting compared to Matthew's but there wasn't much he could do about it at the moment. Not like there was a such thing as handwriting classes at this school.

[Nicolette]

Matt's eyes gazed over the words on the paper that had been slipped back to him. For a moment, his breathing became a little uneven, but he soon brought himself to calm down a little. He doubted Sven suspected anything out of the ordinary besides the fact he found it weird that Matt wore color contacts. Taking a deep breath, he glanced up at the teacher for a moment and wrote a few words in his notebook before he turned his attention to the note.

'Me? Mysterious? Hardly... Anyways, this lecture's boring. I can think of at least twenty better things I could be doing right now.'

[Faye]

As much as he felt the painful curiosity of why Matthew wore the colour contacts, he never pried into Matthew's business, they may be a couple right now but that didn't mean Matthew had to pour every detail and secret of his life out to him, if he didn't want to tell Sven that was completely fine as long as there was no other man/girl in his life!! Although, he had a feeling Matthew wouldn't be that kind of person, he was a little bit of an outsider until they met.

Sven couldn't help but smile just that little bit more as he read Matthew's latest note on their little piece of refil paper. He glanced up at their teacher and completely agreed on what he said about it being boring, there could of been something else he could talk about or just cut straight to the point, maybe then they wouldn't need drilling about being behind all the time. That was the problem with teacher's, they raved on and on and then had the nerve to complain about their students not getting anything done. Oh well. He put his concentration back on his silent conversation with his boyfriend.

"Yes you are~ Hehe. Hmm, it is boring... He should cut to the point. But, I want you to name some of these different things you could be doing ;] Maybe they could do them at some point, Sven could always pull the whole 'Student Council Business' excuse and have to take Matthew with him. If it got too boring, that is.

[Nicolette]

There were many things going through Matt's mind at that moment. When things got boring, he tended to daydream about different situations. Sometimes, it was old stuff, like if he was still part of Radiance. Sometimes, he would wonder what it would be like if he could remember the events of the past few years... Sometimes, he would wonder what it would be like to still be with Nickolaus.

And, more recently, he would daydream of different things he and Sven would do. From innocent making-out, to more heated situations (though that would require Sven knowing his most deepest, safely-guarded secret).

Matt tapped his pen to his mouth for a moment before he started on a reply, ignoring what the teacher had to say for the time being.

"Well... First and foremost, I could be off making out with you somewhere. But besides that, I could be working on school work, studying in the library, listening to my Radiance CDs, emailing old friends, etc..."

[Faye]

As Sven received the note paper back, the teacher announced that he would be handing (finally) out the paper that had their next assignment's details on it, everything that they needed to pass, what you needed to get an excellent grade etc etc, Sven took no notice for a moment and continued reading what Matthew had written down. The first sentence made his heart flutter a little and his mind went into a quick daydream about how they would go, the warm touch of Matthew's delicate hands, his soft lips moving against his, oh it would be amazing right now. Some kind of distraction felt needed right then.

But then he felt another presence nearby, the teacher was hovering over them, trying to see what was being written down, "Sven, I do hope that has something to do with what we've been talking about?" He said as he tried to get a closer look, without proper confirmation he couldn't just snatch it from his hands. Sven's head jerked up, "Y-yes! Of course it is, sir," He started, taking the two sheets of paper in his hand as they hit the cool wood of the desk. "But I... But right now, I have to ask your pardon, Matthew and I need to go down to the Student Council office for a few things," The mention of a heated make out session with Matthew sparked his interest...

[Nicolette]

Matt could see that Sven was still reading the note as the teacher was coming around the room. He swallowed hard and lowered his eyes, silently praying that the teacher wouldn't take the note or else their whole plan would be shattered...

However, the sudden outburst from Sven saying they had to go to the Student Council room caught him a little offguard. He raised an eyebrow, but quickly composed himself and swallowed as he looked at the clock.

"Ah, yes. Miss Nicolette wished to see us at eleven twenty and it's currently eleven seventeen. We don't want to disappoint our Lady President, now, do we?" He looked directly at the teacher, a curious look on his face.

[Faye]

Sweat actually started to bed at the ends of Sven's eyebrow, but he knew this would work, Student Council business was very serious and was often chosen over classes. Besides, it wasn't like they could come back later and note down things they missed. Pretty sure the sheet of paper he was handing out had everything, though. He stared at the teacher, wondering what he was going to say next, would it work? he prayed that it would, he longed for a kiss from Matthew, just to hold him close to his body again. Feel that warmth fire through him.

The teacher raised an eyebrow, looking at the two intently, but then he relaxed, sighing deeply as he nodded briefly, "Fine, but I want to see you both back here at lunch! You are missing some important things by leaving," He said with a firm tone throughout his voice and his eyes were steeled over, he had some obvious suspicious glints in his eyes, though. Sven swallowed hard and picked up his backpack and slipping their little conversation into his pants pocket, motioning for Matthew to follow. "C'mon, then..." He said quietly, like a faint whisper and headed for the door.

[Nicolette]

Matt stood from his desk, quickly gathering his things and shoving them into his backpack. He pulled the item on his back and he turned to look at the teacher.

"We'll see you at lunch, Sir." He said with a smile before he followed his boyfriend out the door. He let out a deep sigh of relief as they started down the hall and he brought his fingers through his hair, pushing his hair out of his eyes for a moment as he looked forward. He let his hand drop and his hair fell back into place as he looked up at Sven.

"That was close."

[Faye]

As they left, Sven could feel the other students in the classroom eye's burning into him with envy, they probably wanted that kind of privilege as well, though it also probably made them want to lean more towards the Student Freedom Force, he did a wrong deed just then, he should not have used his authority to his advantage, he felt guilt rush over him. Lucky guilt had nothing to do with his curse... He just had to keep calm, frustration would soon follow if he wasn't careful..

"Yeah... It was..." He said, sighing with relief himself, he adjusted his collar of his shirt and as he lowered his right hand, it came in contact with Matthew's. A shock of warmth and sudden spazzing of his heart shot through him at the contact. For a moment he nearly jerked back but since no one was in the halls at the time, he let his index finger interlace with Matthew's. A soft smile settled onto his lips as he looked at him. "What.. What would you like to do...?" He asked feeling curious about why he was finding it so hard to come out with his sentences. He was the Vice President, he needed to be more calm and tranquil...
