Maybe he was jealous because he had to share his best friend with someone else, and he was afraid that I wouldn't have time for him anymore...

Or he was annoyed of her girly-childish behaviour...

Or...

Maybe...

No, stupid thought.

I tried to get rid oft it, but my brain just kept on dreaming...

He was jealous of Ruby, because he wanted to be with me...

He would shout at her and get really overprotective.

He would tell her that I'm his, and that she should go fuck herself.

He would get really angry and his face would turn red.

And if someone would insult me, he would want to beat up that person, I would hold him back and he would hug me tightly and tell me nice things, and not to care about what other people say.

Then I would snuggle into his strong arms, lay my head on his chest and he would pet my head and give it a kiss...

I fell asleep.

In my dream things got quite heated, unfortunally visibly...

When I woke up I had a huge boner.

"Fuck me.", I mumbled.

Eric, who was awake already chuckled.

"You should rather fuck Ruby, you, with your little problem."

I glared at him.

"Fuck you. I wouldn't make fun of you, if you had morning wood."

He shook his head. "Just because I don't have none?"

He giggled. "Dele dreamt of Ruby..."

I stood up, so it was even more visible.

"I'll take a shower, to get rid of this..."

Eric looked disgusted. "I know that everyone does it, but not in our shower! Dele, ew!"

I sighed.

"I will take a cold shower to get rid of this. Not what you think."

"Still: not in our shower.", he insisted.

I went into the bathroom and let the cold water pour over me.

Slowly my problem left me.

I sighed. "Stupid comments", I thought.

"I didn't dream of Ruby. Not at all. I dreamt of you...", I thought.

When I came out of the bathroom Kyle was already there.

"Oh, hey Kyle." I greeted. He greeted back, but I didn't really listen.

"Eric?" He looked at me. "Can we talk, like... Just you and me?"

Kyle looked worried.

"Is everything okay? Like... With your grandma?"

"I prefer not to answere this question right now."

"Okay, Buddy. Let me know, if there is anything you want me to know. I'll leave you guys alone now."

I tapped Kyle's shoulder.

"No, stay here. Eric and I will take a walk around the pitch.

Kyle agreed.

"Good luck you two. Promise not to fight?"

I nooded.

"Promise."

We awkwardly walked down the stairs.

"So, what do you want to talk about?"

He opened the door, that led to the pitch.

"Please don't laugh, okay? Promise?" Eric nodded.

"See, when you said, that I got... a boner, because I dreamt of Ruby..."

He looked me in the eyes.

"I'm sorry. That was a stupid comment."

I gulped.

"I wouldn't be so offended if... I that thing yesterday night didn't happen."

"Sorry, Dele, I didn't know..."

I shook my head.

"It's not your fault. You couldn't know that. You know, yesterday night, when I drove her home, she dropped first signs, which made me extremly uncomfortable. Then, when I brought her to the door, she invited me to stay the night and..."

Eric looked shocked.

"Did she do something to you, that you didn't want?"

I shook my head.

"No. But I told her, that I just wasn't ready yet. ...Am I a bad boyfriend for doing that? I mean... I would love to... pleasure her some day... But not yet..."

"No! Of course not, Dele! You both need to feel comfortable! Relationships are not mindless fucking. They are a deep bond be-tween two people, who love each other deeply and if she doesn't want to accept that, then she isn't good for you. You know, that rape doesn't only happen towards women, but also men?"

"She didn't god damn rape me, okay? She just really wanted it. But after I explained my problem to her she left me alone."

"I'm sorry for what happened to you."

Eric kicked a ball away, that no one had picked up after the training yesterday.

His actions looked so smooth and everything appeared to be easy when he played football... I smiled lightly.

"No, don't be. It's just... I'm in a relationship with her. I am supposed to adore her like if I was crazy. And... I know, I'm supposed to ... treat her like a Queen and she only asked for that tiny favor... But I'm still scared."

"No, if you don't feel comfortable with that..."
