roxyHere we go with a short piece, having a bit of trouble as Strange Boys has taken a slightly romantic turn, and I need to fix that. So, please to be enjoying this tidbit while I beat some sense into convince this fic now is not the time for romance.
Part Thirteen is here.
Strange Boys or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Game.

Bruce thought about what had happened. He knew he should want to kill Lex for what he did, but on the other hand, it was a perfectly Lex thing to do. Bruce smiled fondly. Lex was like a big puppy, barging around and doing what it wanted to do. Endearing but a little obnoxious, and all it needed was housebreaking to make it a perfect companion. He stretched out in the bed, smiled to himself as he turned to his side and pulled the covers up— obviously some ground rules needed to be established. For one thing, he was pretty sure he didn’t want to share Lex with anyone anymore.
He had some idea about how well that would go over with Lex. Well. He’d just have to show him he didn’t need anyone else. Lex would come to realize that Bruce was more than enough for him. He smiled up into the dark. Funny, since he met Lex, he didn’t like to have the light on at night anymore…in fact, he was discovering that the darkness was your friend.

Bruce walked across the hall and Lex watched. Heads turned his way and quickly dropped as he walked past. A little chill ran down his spine as Bruce sat at his table. Immediately everyone sitting there suddenly found a reason to be elsewhere. They got up and left, eyeing Bruce like there was a chance he might reach out and do…terrible things to them.
*pussies* Lex thought.
“How are you today, Lex?”
“Fine, just fine. Thanks.” Sip.
“How was school?”
“Super, just super.” Drink.
“Busy tonight?”
Spit. “I-I’m –got some studying to do--”He grinned weakly. “ With Chad…do you know him?”
Bruce nodded. “I think he’s busy—had a change of plans. Always. I’ll study with you if you like?”
Lex nodded. “Fine, super, great…I’ll just—that’s great. Umm, maybe tomorrow?”
Bruce agreed and pulled a bottle of water out of his blazer pocket. “Water?”
“Nooo—no thanks,hah! I'm fine, yes, not dry--” Lex stammered.Damn it! What the fuck is wrong with me? I’m blithering like a little girl.
Bruce cracked the top and emptied it in one long continuous swallow, watching Lex watch him. He put the bottle down, wiped his moth and said, “That was refreshing. Water is so good for you, isn’t it?”
Lex smiled, he could feel the air drying his teeth and the definition of rictus popped into his head...where was this leading? Was he going to kill him? He tried to think how to get a message to his friends…possible murder in progress, send help, and Bruce got up. “Well, time for me to go to the gym. You really should finish your dinner,” he said pointing at the congealed mess on his plate. “You’re looking a little …peaked. Talk to you later.”
Lex stammered good-bye and waved jerkily. Fuck he was so much dead meat. Bruce was sooo pissed off…
He had the feeling for the rest of his life, the smell of boiled beef and mashed potatoes swimming in chalky gravy would make him hard.
tbc, oh jewels of infinite beauty.
