It has been 4 months since their little fight. Larten began to have a feeling for Darren, which he did not understand. Larten always kept a close eye on Darren, and it felt like yesterday when he first saw him in the audience.
Darren walked up to Larten and said, "um, Larten? Can I talk to you?". Darren was shaking like crazy, to the point where a normal human would see it clearly. "Why of corse Master Shan, what is troubling you?" Larten said with a warm welcoming smile. "Nevermind." Darren claimed while running into the bathroom. Larten tried to open the door, but Darren locked it.
"Darren what is bothering you? You were shaking like crazy." Larten said after knocking on the door several times. "I thought I had enough courage, but I was wrong." Darren said his voice so shaky. Larten saw a key and tried it on the bathroom door. To his suprize it worked.
When Larten opened the door, he saw Darren in the tub with his face buried into his knees. He walked up to Darren. "What is wrong, Master Shan?" He said quietly while rubbing Darrens hair. "I said nevermind. Im not ready to tell you yet."
Larten stared at Darren for what seemed forever. He soon picked Darren up and took him to his bed. "Larten, what are you doing?" Larten didnt even bother to answer his question, he just stared at Darren. "Lar-" before Darren could finish his name, Larten kissed him. "Something ive wanted to do for a while." He finnaly replied.
"Larten, can I tell you something?" Darren asked as quick as he could. Larten just stared at him, with both confusion and love. "Go ahead, Master Shan, speak what is on your mind." He said while rubbing Darrens cheek. "I.........love you, Larten Crepsley." Larten had a warm smile on his face.
