This is not art!

Chapter Two: Snapping
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's been a few days since Johan's first love turned out to be a guy, but to him it feels like years. Every day with Alexis seems to drag on. Maybe because of the looks he will give Johan. Those expecting, yet strangely vacant, looks. Today is going to be different though, he's going to be hanging out with his friends and not see Alexis for the first time since they moved in. It will be great.

"I'm not coming back til later tonight." Johan says and Alexis nods, staring at his sketchbook and drawing.

"Ok."

"I might stay at Peter's tonight."

"You don't get along with Peter enough to stay the night." Alexis points out and Johan sighs.

"Ugh…why did I have to tell you everything about me?" He mumbles in distaste.

"Because you love me."

"Stop saying that!"

Alexis closes his eyes. "Hm… 'I love you more than anything in the world. Unlike what other couples do I will never keep anything from you, simply ask and I will tell you. There's nothing I wouldn't give you.' letter two hundred twenty five, April seventh, two thousand and nine."

"AH! Y-YOU MEMORIZED THEM?" Johan screams and Alexis shrugs.

"Not really…" He looks to Johan and hold up the letter. "I just happen to have it right here."

"YOU CARRY THAT AROUND? THAT'S EVEN WORSE!"

"I suppose you're right. Having memorized it would at least have been impressive. This is just ironic." Alexis says and Johan twitches.

"That is not it! You just carry them around with you?" Johan asks and Alexis shrugs.

"They made me feel less lonely." He answers before standing up and gathering his art supplies. "I told Rae I was going to meet her in the art room. Good bye."

Johan looks at him confused. "Wait…lonely…? Her? What? I have so many questions to that statement…"

Alexis stops at the door and looks back at him. "I am not popular, I've never gotten praises on my personality from anyone but you. Rae is someone I met earlier this week on campus, we share a love of art and I suppose you could say she is now my friend. Oh, and if you need me for whatever reason, the art room is in the Walsh building up the hill."

"Oh…um…" Johan frowns a little. "Um…"

"Bye." Alexis calls, leaving.

"Wha-? Ugh...you can't just leave on that note. I never knew Alexis was so weird with people…" Johan sighs, turning and going to meet with his own friends. On his way out he sees dark clouds heading towards the school and decides to grab an umbrella.

He heads to a familiar building, the campus center, and heads to the food court where he knows his friends are waiting. When he arrives there he goes into the small room they have for their club, a micro nation club. Sitting there dispersed between the large table and a pair of couches near a TV are his friends. First there is Peter, his cousin who is a member of Sealand. Then a guy from Hutt river in Australia named Noah, who is seated next to his boyfriend from the now gone micro nation Niko Niko Republic in Japan names Kaoru.

At the couches he notices the American Michael from Molossia playing a video game with Peter's boyfriend Marcello from Seborga. On the other couch watching is a young freshman named Xever from Northern Cyprus and two other people.

"Ah! Johan, hey!" Peter calls, smiling at him. "We have two new members! An old friend of mine named Rae who came here, she is from Wy. Then there's a boy who is related, and actually is part of, Kugelmugel!" He says and Johan pales.

"…No…"

"His name is Alexis!" Peter says and both Alexis and a tan girl with dark brown hair turn on the couch to look at him.

"Hi! I'm Rae!"

Johan twitches a little and waves to her before looking at Alexis.

"I didn't plan this. I wanted to paint. The art room was closed." Alexis says before turning back to look at the game.

"Son of a bitch!" Johan groans. "I wanted a day AWAY from Alexis!"

"Oh, you know each other?" Marcello asks, looking away from the game he just won.

"We're roommates." Johan grumbles.

"I was also his first love until he found out I was male." Alexis adds, walking over to Michael, who is sulking. "Your sulking is art, can I draw you?" He asks and Michael twitches.

"What? Who the hell asks that?" Michael asks annoyed and Alexis raises his hand a little.

"I do. So can I?"

"…Fine…" Michael mumbles and Alexis smiles awkwardly at him before sitting down and drawing.

"Good, he's distracted." Johan says, grabbing Peter and dragging him to the other end of the room. "He can't be in here!"

"Why not? He seems…interesting."

"He's a jerk! He lead me on to believe he was a girl until I finally saw him! I was in love with the female Alexis, I don't want to see the real male version constantly! In our room is enough!" Johan yells and Peter looks at him nervously.

"Um…Johan…you're yelling loud enough for everyone to hear you…" Peter mumbles before they both turn to see Alexis looking up at them from his crouched position next to Michael.

"Ah. I understand, I'll go." Alexis says blankly, getting up and looking at Michael. "Thank you for letting me draw you." He adds before leaving.

"Wait! Alexis!" Rae calls, jumping up to go get him. She quickly returns, glaring at Johan. "He's gone already."

"…Well…he probably went back to the room…or the art room…" Johan offers and Rae looks away from him annoyed.

"Why are boys so STUPID? He came here for the club. Unlike you he doesn't know many people, idiot!" Rae yells and Xever comes up, resting a hand on her shoulder.

"Please calm down, Miss Rae. This is a complicated situation. They need to take care of it." Xever says, looking to Johan. "Since it is storming outside I would assume he is in your dorm room. You should sit here for a while and calm down. Rae, you haven't eaten today, right? Why don't you come with me for lunch." He offers and Rae blushes a little, nodding.

"Alright…I suppose…" She mumbles, leaving with him.

Johan sighs and sits down at the table. "I know it's not fair to take it out on him…but it's really confusing and he keeps swearing he will win me back…I'm not into guys."

"So…he's actually into guys?" Michael asks and Johan nods. "Huh…shouldn't you be okay with that? I mean there are your dads, Noah, Kaoru, Peter, Marcello…you're kind of surrounded."

"I'm not bothered by the fact he's gay…or that he's after me, really…it's just…the beautiful girl I was so in love with turned out to be a guy. That is very disheartening. Now I am faced with that fact everyday as soon as I wake up. It's like I'm living with her killer." Johan says and everyone looks at him awkwardly.

"That's…a dark way of looking at it…" Noah mumbles and Kaoru nods.

" I understand what you are getting at, though. He proved your Alexis wasn't real, but he didn't mean to. Did he really tell you he was not female?" Kaoru asks and Johan sighs.

"Well no…he didn't…but still…"

"You should be nice." Marcello says. "You have to remember he was in love, too. Not only that, but he thought he found someone who could love him for him, only to have that person freak out on him when they found out he was male. That's really got to hurt."

"He never seems hurt." Johan mumbles and Peter frowns.

"Some people aren't good at showing their feelings, Johan. Not everyone's emotions are right in your face like yours."

"Ugh! Fine! Fine! I'll go talk to him!" He groans, getting up and walking out. when he gets outside he opens his umbrella, but quickly closes it when he hears thunder. "Damnit…" Johan mumbles, running to their room. When he gets there he sees it's completely empty, untouched. "A-Alexis…?" He calls out, hoping maybe he is taking a nap. After getting no response, Johan runs out of the room and heads back outside, looking for him.

"Alexis!" Johan calls, running around outside among the rain and thunder. "Damnit Alexis…it's really cold out!"

"Then go back inside." A voice says and Johan looks over to see Alexis sitting on the ledge of a gazebo.

"There you are!" Johan yells, running over to him and covering the drenched boy with his coat. "You aren't even prepared for rain!"

"I was not expecting it, nor was I expecting to be outside." Alexis says, going to shrug the coat off and being stopped by Johan holding the edges in place.

"Look, Alexis…I know I'm not handling this in the best way…" Johan mumbles. "But…neither are you. You can't make someone fall in love with you when they aren't into guys."

Alexis stares at Johan curiously. "When you saw I wasn't in the room you came running after me, even though it is storming…why?"

Johan blushes a little. "I didn't want you to get hurt…a-and don't take that as a sign I still love you!" He adds quickly. "But in spite of that I still worry about you, so don't do something so stupid again!"

Alexis' eyes widen a little. "Johan…"

"I mean it, if you do it again I'm not coming to get you! Well…okay…that's not true…but I will be super pissed!" Johan yells and Alexis shakes his head no.

"That's not it…" Alexis mumbles before cupping Johan's face, making him blush. His blush quickly fades though when Alexis turns his face to see behind him, where there is now lighting.

"Shit! Let's get inside!" Johan says, pulling away from Alexis before grabbing his hand and dragging him back to the dorm room. They both stand there catching their breath as water drips off of them, pooling on the floor at their feet. "I'm really…sorry…Alexis…"

"I will try to...'pull it back' so you are not as uncomfortable." Alexis says and Johan smiles a little.

"Thanks." Johan mumbles and Alexis smiles back.

"Of course."
