Damian was fed up. He'd dealt with Natalia for years, and he was sick of her. He grabbed his tray table and walked over to where Eli was sitting. "Hey mate. Mind if I sit here?" He asked, pretending as if Eli was just some other guy. He sat down without waiting for an answer.
"Um, y-yeah, sure. G-Go ahead." He offered a small, shy smile before looking down at his lap, trying to put on the act as if he wasn't sitting with his boyfriend.
"Thank you." He turned to look at Natalia. "Sorry, Nat. No more space. You'll have to go to back to your friends. I have some newer friends here."
Kyle smirked and chuckled lightly, Eli just blushed and tried to keep his smile hidden.
Natalia huffed with frustration, crossing her arms and walking away. Damian turned to face Eli and Kyle with a roll of his eyes. "Thank fuck she's gone." His leg brushed against Eli's 'accidentally'.
Kyle snorted and chuckled, "And good riddance. Honestly I wish she'd disappear."
Eli blushed slightly deeper, positioning himself just slightly so he was angled more towards Damian, but only by a centimeter or so.
"God, she's so clingy. Thinks that cause our dads are both high up that we'll get together. 'We can grow old and have little baby us!'. I want kids but not with that girl."
"I never knew you wanted kids." Eli said softly, looking up at Damian.
"Yeah, I really do," Damian smiled to himself. "I've always wanted to have kids to prove that I'm not like my dad."
Eli nodded a little, "That's fair enough. How many do you want?"
"How ever many come to me, really. More likely to adopt though. A lot of those kids have had bad lives, and I want to give them a better one. But it's not like they're gonna let an 18 year old adopt a kid."
He shrugged, “They night. Considering who you are and all.”
"My status won't do anything in an adoption process. I'm nothing more than the Mayor's son of the dumb little town of Easthallow. It's barely a staple on the map."
"I guess you're right… sorry, I didn't mean to ask so many questions."
"It's fine," Damian smiled, taking a bite from his sandwich. "I really don't mind sharing stuff. Not with someone important to me."
Kyle coughed, “Um what? I didn’t even know you two knew each other?”
"Hmmm?" Damian started. Then Kyle's words clicked. "Oh, yeah. I met Eli a couple months ago. He's important cause I consider him a friend. And I would rather any friend know that stuff than Natalia."
Kyle looked a little sceptical for a moment but nodded and shrugged, “Fair point. I’d be thinking the same thing.”
The bell going off made them realise that break had gone by quickly. Damian turned to Eli. "We have maths, right? With Ms Maxwell?"
Eli thought for a moment before he nodded, standing with his bag, "Yeah we do."
Damian sighed, not wanting to go to class. "Ugh, maths is so boring. And Ms Maxwell is a class A bitch."
Eli hummed softly in acknowledgment, "Yeah, she really is. I think she'd my least favourite teacher."
"Remember her outburst? 'Maths is a necessity to society! Without maths there would be no order! You of all people should know that, Mr Lunar!' How am I supposed to know that 'of all people'?"
He giggled softly, "Oh yeah, I remember. Scared the heck outta me because I didn't know she was gonna scream at you. Well, not scream but she kinda did."
Now it was Damian's turn to laugh. It didn't take long for them to get to the classroom, what with their class being only a few rooms away from the cafeteria. The pair was the first to arrive.
