Camp Closeted
Chapter 18: Preferred Pronouns
"I don't think I like the idea of my only quiet place being invaded by smokers." Sascha whispered as we sat next to each other in the carpet, our bodies slightly squeezed together by the bookshelves.
My eyes watched as Cadence and Rama smoked to themselves in a corner. "Yea, out of all places why smoke here?" I whispered, grabbing the piece of cookie Sascha was offering me. "Thanks."
Sascha narrowed his eyes at the boys that had huge clouds of smoke coming out of their mouths, the smell of weed reeking around the library. "What scares me the most is that they don't know that we're in here. They probably think they're the first ever people to come in here, and if they see us, they would think that we're the ones invading them." He sighed.
"Don't you talk to Cadence though?" I asked quietly. "I saw you guys in an alleyway once remember? I had to interrupt because he seemed a little to aggressive with you."
Sascha immediately shook his head in distaste, his curls falling onto his face because of his sudden movement. "Cadence just likes to follow me around. He can get a little aggressive sometimes but he does look out for me a lot." He shrugged innocently.
"Sascha." I spoke deeply, his head turning towards me. "What are your preferred pronouns?" I slightly pinched myself praying I didn't offend him.
"I'm a boy." His eyes shimmered as he tried to hold in his laughter. "You're not the first one to ask, don't worry."
Just as I tried to whisper back, Cadence began talking to Rama. "You don't speak much huh?" He asked Rama as Sascha and I eavesdropped.
Rama remained quiet and coldly ignored Cadence, his head was tilted to the side as he remained completely dead, slowly breathing out smoke. His head being tilted gave me a chance to look at his dark tattoos on the side of his neck, not knowing how to feel about them.
Rama's incredibly reddened eyes were slightly narrowed as his mouth was opened. My mouth slightly dropped as his pale lips began to form a sheepish smile.
Cadence began to let out a deep chuckle, watching Rama throw him the widest grin ever. "This shit can resurrect a corpse from the dead, what I tell you?"

myself let out a sharp exhale as Rama's mouth met Cadence's. Sascha's eyes widened at me as if all his innocence were completely stripped away
