Last part here. All previous parts listed here.



When Cesc and Bojan arrive in the school’s courtyard that morning, the first thing they notice is Leo and Silva glaring at each other. Automatically confused and concerned, they rush over to see what the problem is.

“Hey guys…” Cesc greets cautiously as he and Bojan get within hearing range.

“Hi.” Leo says trying to greet them in a better mood than the one he had with Silva.

“Hello dearest companions.” Silva greets, not even trying to hide that he is upset. “How was your evening?”

“Pretty good, thanks. Yours?” Cesc asks, hoping that whatever put a rift between these two had not happened after school yesterday.

“It was most satisfactory. Until this morning.” Silva scowls in Leo’s general direction.

“What happened this morning?” Bojan asks, moving slightly closer to Leo’s side as if to protect him from the unknown problem.

Silva opens his mouth to speak but shuts it. “I shan’t even dignify it with words.”

“Well you ‘shan’t’ do a lot of things.” Leo huffs and Silva glares. Cesc thinks that if this were any other time and place, that he might find the little boy glaring rather adorable. But now all he was concerned over was what happened between his two friends.

Cesc looks at Leo with raised eyebrows. “What’s going on guys?”

“He is just making a big deal out of nothing.” Leo says crossing his arms over his chest.

“Out of nothing? Our concepts of ‘nothing’ are on the complete opposite ends of the spectrum if you think this lapse in the code of friendship is ‘nothing’.” Silva replies affronted.

“You know, it’s not very often that I have to say this,” Cesc starts and then raises his voice, “but would somebody please tell me what the hell is going on here?!”

Silva stands up and looks every inch of his five foot, five-inch frame. It is with a tone of great scorn that he speaks. “He,” a glare is sent in Leo’s direction. “Told Villa that I liked him!”

Cesc looks from Silva to Leo and then back again. “Is that what this is about?”

“I was just doing him a favor…” Leo tries to rationalize to Bojan, who nods sympathetically.

“A favor! You wouldn’t know what a favor was if it came and bit you in your gluteus maximus!”

“You know only anatomy kids will get that, don’t you?” A voice, rougher than the four friend’s, says as it approaches.

Silva looks over and looks at Alexis. “It is not my fault that these homosapiens are not educated in the parts of their bodies.”

“Is this the part where you give us a lecture on ‘Our Bodies, Ourselves’?” Alexis asks and both Leo and Cesc start giggling with Bojan cracking a smile. “If it is, I want to take notes so I don’t have to do remedial anatomy.”

Silva is blushing when he speaks. “That’s only female anatomy anyway.”

“Ah, well then I guess I won’t need to take a refresher course on that.” Alexis grins. “I already pass that class with high marks!”

Silva was still embarrassed for being the ‘gluteus maximus’ of Alexis’ joke as well as too mad at Leo’s tampering to form a retort.

“So what’s going on over here anyway? Why does my Silva look like the cat that got thrown into the bathtub?” Alexis asks and Cesc wonders about the ‘my Silva’ part.

“Oh don’t start this again.” Leo whined and shook his head. “Cesc, help me out here man.”

Cesc looks from Leo to Silva to Alexis and then clears his throat. “From what I know, and I only know a little bit, just so you know that I don’t know anything, Silva’s crush has been told that h—they are Silva’s crush. And Leo is the one that told them.”

Alexis nods in understanding. He then looks at Leo. “Dude that’s not cool. You’re not supposed to go around telling secrets like that anyway. Who’s the chick, maybe I can tell her that it was a joke…?”

Silva pats Alexis’ arm. “Um…you remember that thing we talked about two years ago?” Alexis nods and then his mouth forms an ‘O’.

“I see. Well, um…that’s really not cool. I mean however the guy is swings that way, right?”

Silva contemplates that and then looks horrified. “You know, I never really noticed before, but I don’t know! Oh God!”

Alexis gives Silva a one-armed hug for sympathy. “Who is the guy anyway?”

“Villa.” Silva moans out feebly.

“Oh great…” Cesc mutters, eyes widening. Bojan hears this and looks to see what the problem was and then his eyes widen.

“Um, Alexis…” Cesc starts but Alexis sees the incoming problem as well.

“Hey Silva, here’s your chance to charm him.”

“What?” Silva asks, pausing in his inner freak-out session. “What are you talking about?”

“Villa is headed this way right now and man he looks pissed…” Alexis involuntarily takes a step away from Silva.

“Oh god, what am I going to do?” Silva asks, trying to calm down.

“Relax.” Bojan offers shyly. “Take a deep breath.”

“Whatever you do, you better figure it out soon. He’s coming.” Leo says and scoots down the bench closer to Bojan.

When Villa gets within range for further study, Cesc notices that he is wearing even more stylish clothes than the other rich kids that went here. He must be really rich, Cesc thinks as Villa starts to speak.

“Silva, we need to talk. Now.” Silva gulps thickly and nods and follows after Villa who starts for the door to the hallway. Cesc could swear that he saw Silva cross himself on the way inside.

“Where do you think they’re going?” Bojan asks quietly as the two disappear down the hallway.

“I don’t know. Library, bathroom maybe.” Cesc supplies thinking of what is down that direction.

“Empty classroom.” Leo offers and Cesc nods.

“I know one thing, if he lays a hand on that boy’s head, I’ll kill him.” Alexis says and Cesc somehow believes that the blonde would hurt the other boy.


Silva swallows thickly as Villa enters an empty classroom. He swallows even more when Villa sits on the teacher’s desk and watches him closely. Silva feels every ounce of self-conscious and wonders absently if he remembered to floss that morning.

“Leo tells me something very interesting.” Villa starts smoothly.

“R-really?” Silva says, not daring to look up at anything past Villa’s shoes, and even that in itself was a feat.

“He says that you like me.” The voice is cool and completely unattached to the surroundings. It was though Villa didn’t care that he had the power to crush Silva’s entire heart in a matter of words.

“Well it’s not hard to like you, you’re a very um…” Nice didn’t fit but neither did ‘stellar community individual’. Jackass is more befitting, a voice that sounded very much like Leo’s says in Silva’s mind. “A very…um…”

“Go ahead and say it.” Villa says, amusement now creeping in.

“Well, you are sort of a jackass.” Silva blushes, not only because he just told the boy of his dreams that he was a jackass, but that he had just cursed period.

“I’m ‘sort of’ a jackass? Silva, I am a jackass. Which makes me wonder what you see in me.” The tone on the second half of Villa’s sentence has Silva looking up, forgetting his embarrassment.

“So, you’re not mad then, that I um, like you…?” Silva whispers, hope crying out in every syllable.

“Mad? No.” Villa shakes his head. “Flattered, oh yes. Disappointed, very much.”

“Dis-disappointed?” Silva asks, feeling small shards of pain wound his heart.

Villa shoves himself off the desk and comes to stand in front of Silva. “Yes, I’m disappointed. You could do so much better than me Silva, so much better.”

Silva feels goose-bumps creep across his skin as Villa’s deep dark eyes bore into his. Villa’s voice was low and he smelled so good. Silva felt his breath hitching and his blood leaving his brain. So this is what it feels like when people say their minds go blank for love…I mean how can one think without any blood circulating through the brain? Silva thinks despite the fact that Villa’s face was getting closer with his with each passing second.

Villa puts his hands, warm strong hands, on Silva’s face and holds him still as he lowers his head even more. Silva’s mind for once truly goes completely blank as Villa’s soft, puffy lips press down on his.



Cesc, Alexis, Leo, and Bojan all sit on the bench waiting on Silva’s return. Bojan reads Leo’s book while Leo checks his watch every two seconds. Cesc and Alexis are both bouncing their knees and looking at their fingernails.

“I wonder what he did to him.” Leo asks, worried. “I’ll never forgive myself if Villa killed him.”

Cesc hears the worry in Leo’s voice and nudges him. “He can’t kill him. He would need Silva to tell him how to get rid of the forensic evidence.”

Leo thinks that over. “That’s true.”

Alexis looks over at the both of them. “If that bastard made my Silva cry, I’m going to kill him.”

“Why do you call him ‘my Silva’?” Cesc asks before he can stop himself.

Alexis shrugs with a lift of a thin shoulder blade. “We have lived next to each other for years. He’s like my little brother.”

Cesc relates to Alexis’ protectiveness and is about to tell him so when Silva finally returns. His face is flushed, clothes and hair rumpled, which is very unlike the perfectionist Silva that they all knew.

“David!” Leo jumps up and rushes over to squeeze his friend. “I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to tell him in the first place! It just sort of came out and why are your clothes rumpled?”

Silva giggles and bats away Leo’s hands. “Oh Leo, my charming and clumsy friend. Everything is simply marvelous.”

Leo’s face scrunches up in confusion but not before Silva goes to get his books from where they were on the ground next to Cesc.

“Come on Francesc, we should go. We do not want to be late, now do we?” Silva hums and Cesc wonders what the hell Villa did to him. Silva seems to reconsider that and then sighs happily. “Although, I really wouldn’t mind being late.”

“Okay, who are you and what have you done with David Silva?” Even Alexis was worried. Bojan, Cesc, Leo, and Alexis all stood and stared at Silva.

“He is right here, can’t you see Alexis? He’s right here.” Silva grins.

“Did he dose you with stupid pills?” Leo asks studying Silva from the side.

“Oh no. He dosed me with love.”

Cesc throws his hands up into the air. “Oh good, he’s back to being a dork. He’s fine.”

Alexis seems to agree partially. “He’ll be back to tucking his shirt in to his underwear in no time.”

“Hey! I only did that once!” Silva yells loudly. “You said you’d forget about it Alexis!”

“I lied. I am sorry sweetheart.” Alexis winks and then grabs his skateboard and other gear. “Catch you girls later.”

“Bye Alexis.” Cesc says as he shakes his head at Silva.

Bojan is a giggling fit as he grabs his books and starts for the door. “Come on Leo otherwise we will be late.”

Leo shakes his head at Silva but looks at Bojan. “Just a minute, I want to test something first.” Bojan looks at him confused. “Hey Silva, your shirt is hanging out.”

Silva drops his books to find the place where his shirt was supposedly hanging out. He frowns at Leo. “That was just plain old mean Lionel Messi.”

Leo smiles now. “He is back to normal. Cesc, keep an eye on our friend here, would you?”

Cesc nods and starts for the door, Silva following as well.

“So what happened?” Cesc asks as the two start down the hallway.

Silva giggles and grins again. “Nothing, absolutely nothing.”

Cesc is sure that before break time comes, Silva won’t be able to keep it in any longer. He would come clean and spill his guts. Cesc just hoped it happened before chemistry so that the wiz kid didn’t blow anything up.
