Chapter 29 - 29

The two boys sat in silence after the both of them were done pouring their hearts out to each other. They stared into the eyes of each other, "You told me once that you would agree to be with me as long as I can say it out loud," he reminded. "Reiner I want you to be my boyfriend," he proposed and held his breath nervously waiting for his reply.

"What do you take me for? Do you think that I am going to say yes to that? You already have a boyfriend then why are you proposing to me," he stated.

"Enough!" he yelled. "Zane and I are not together, I have told you many times and this is the last time I will say it. You can either choose to trust me or keep looking for reasons to be angry at me. I love you, Reiner Devon you are my life. What more do you want, you already have the whole of me," he said and broke down in tears.

Reiner brought his hand to Brandon's thigh, his move his hand up and down slowly generating heat in the boy's leg. Brandon raised his head and glanced at Reiner with longing eyes. He longed for Reiner so much that he could not think of anything else at that moment..

"Prove it," he heard Reiner whisper in his ear. "How?" he asked willing to jump at any chance to show Reiner how much he loved him.

"I won't ask you to do something impossible, all I want is for you to stay away from Zane. I don't want to see you talk, look or even think about him for three days. I will be watching you and if you can do it I will believe you and accept your proposal. But if you fail then I will know that you are lying to me. Deal?" he asked Brandon.

"Deal," said Brandon. He was happy that he was given a chance to fix everything and get Reiner back. He felt so alive and happy that he could not stop his hands from roaming Reiner's body. Reiner took hold of his hands and stopped him from exploring his chest.

"Not just yet, you are free to touch me in three days if you pass my test but until then I am off-limits," he said and Brandon pouted.

"Can I just once?" he asked and he refused his request. "No, I will not feel good if you touch me now but after you prove to me that you only belong to me I will be comfortable with your touch. Right now mind will not allow me to accept your request, I can't stop thinking that you might be imagining Zane in my place as you touch me," he explained and Brandon understood his concern.

"I will prove to you that you are the only one for me and that Zane means nothing for me," he said and stole a kiss from Reiner before could refuse him.

"Hey, you are cheating," Reiner complained.

"You said I couldn't touch you, you didn't say anything about kissing you," he defended.

"Well, I am saying it now. You are not allowed to touch me in any way with any part of your body till you pass the test of love," he said.

"What happens if he comes close to me?" he raised his concern.

"It's your job to make sure that doesn't happen. If it happens then I will go to a place where you will never see me again. You claim your life depends on me then think of this as not a test for my love but your life," he said and caressed his cheek. "I have often heard that people would do anything for their lives so I want to see, how far you are willing to do for your life," he said.

"I will try to pass the test," said Brandon enthusiastically.

"Is that how much you love me that you will only try."

"No, I won't try but I will do it. I will show you the power of my love," he said and got up from Reiner's lap.

He left the room feeling very giddy, the butterflies in his stomachs were going crazy. He was beyond excited after his talk with Reiner, he could not wait for the three days to end so that he could have the one that he loves with him again. He went to the dorm and took a cold bath to calm down a bit. He was a little too happy and too much of something was dangerous so he wanted to play it safe. He took out his books and worked on his assignments, he hadn't done them in a while so he had a lot to catch up on.

Instead of doing his work he ended up writing lyrics to a love song to complement his feelings.

It is not easy to let go ~

and move on~

If the promise is till death do us part~

We all deserve to be loved~

And to love unconditionally~

To bring content to the heart~

He smiled at the lyrics and wanted to release the song as soon as possible. He wanted to express his love for Reiner in a more romantic way that he won't be able to refuse him. He will be so happy that he will accept to be his boyfriend. He got up and ran to the music room with his mask. He set up his camera and went to live, he got to the piano and started playing.

He closed his eyes and channeled his emotions into the song and sang the lyrics from the heart. His fans saw his song online and send the word around. People ran to their screens to catch a glimpse of their favorite singer. Even the students of BFBS we're also excited to see Nobody. He was the one who they loved the most since he sang songs that touched their hearts.

"This song is dedicated to the one that has stolen my heart, I have fallen in love with that person. When he accepts my proposal then I will reveal not just mine but his identity to all of you," he announced before he logged off the net.

Zane had been watching his performance, his heart broke when he heard the confession. He had accepted that he was not the one that Brandon loved but that did not make it easier for him to see that. He only wished that Reiner would see how much Brandon loves him. He was happy that his love had come out of depression and was cheerful again. Seeing Brandon express his feelings like that warmed his heart. He left everything and went to find Brandon to congratulate him on his recovery.

He ran to the boy saw him leaving the building. He rushed to Brandon and gave him a big hug, he felt like expressing his happiness as a friend even if he couldn't do it as his lover. Brandon pushed him away and pinched him," Why are you always so clinging?" he asked.

"I am just happy that you have become yourself again," he said and hugged him again.

"Let go of me," Brandon said and went away. "Uhh," he screamed when someone pulled him to a corner.

"What did I say about staying away from Zane. Three days is all I asked for and you couldn't even do it for an hour. I guess I have my answer of how you feel about me," said Reiner before leaving.

Brandon was so excited about getting a second chance that he forgot about the condition that Reiner had set. This time he had no one but himself for losing Reiner.
