@flexhub gets eric van der woodsen
the rich kid with a big feelings for him
eric was always a patient person. but jealousy still lingered in that heart of his. jealousy truly was not part of his personality because with the life he had, what was there to be jealous about. his sister got the brunt of the press, leaving eric to be away from the media and live a somewhat normal life. but normal was so overrated. the new school year really had been one of the books. even when the new professor arrived.
eric never intended for things to go the way they did, but when the other had kissed him that first night they were together, alone in his office, well–– it pretty much changed their whole dynamic all together. maybe eric could have been better with the bombing the tests, and tried to focus more in class, but it was hard focusing on the material when his eyes were all over the one teaching.
he didn’t expect himself to say what he did, but after a few months of fooling around, he could see how miserable jason looked. and how he was not looking forward to the holidays spending it at home, and not being able to see eric. of course, the words that came out of eric rendered true, but perhaps out of line. they both said they would keep it fun, no feelings, just sex. but something had changed along the way. something in eric was feeling different.
“ i–– i know... i know you can’t but you’re miserable with her. you always talk about how you wish she would give you space. it sounds like you wish you weren’t even married with her. so why even stick around if you don’t want to be with her? ” he said. “ i’m not even remotely thinking of a life like that, i’m just saying you’d be happier with anyone else but her... ” he said.
hearing the other say that last sentence crossed the line for eric. “ screw you, jason, ” he whispered. “ sorry, that i’m taking some precious time away from your wife. maybe you should go home and be with her... ”
