~~Chapter 2 ~~

Steven with a smile on his face said,"Let's go to sleep, i'm tired." Raymond just nodded. After a second he said something that he can't even believe,"Let's sleep together" Steven's smile vanished he was just staring at Raymond who after realizing what he said gave a awkward smile,"I..I....I mean......." Steven let out a chuckle which was unusual of him,"I understand. But where we going to sleep? In your room or mine?" Raymond gave a warm smile,"In mine.If that's alright with you?" Steven tried to stand up and nearly fell but Raymond supported him,"Let's go to sleep."

They went to sleep in Raymond's room. Both lied down and there was a silence between them which Raymond broke,"Are you okay sleeping here? I mean you are injured what if I accidentally hurt your wounds again?" Steven,"No I told you I'm alright. you won't hurt my wounds again because it is bandaged properly." Raymond after hearing this felt relieved and went to sleep but Steven was still awake he watched Raymond besides him who was asleep and whispered,"Even though I was beaten up badly I feel happy because you cared about me in last 15 years. Thank you Raymond." Steven caressed Raymond's hair and then fell asleep too.

In the next morning Raymond woke up and found Steven was not beside him. His heart felt a stabbing pain. He also didn't know why there was such pain in his heart. He rushed out of his room and found Steven making breakfast. His brows furrowed, he rushed to Steven and grabbed his hand,"Steven why do you have to make breakfast?" Steven surprised by Raymond's action,"I always make breakfast for us." Raymond made an extremely worried  and guilty face,"But you didn't have to. You are wounded." Steven gave a small smile,"I'm not that hurt this time." Raymond released Steven's hand,"This time? Which means father has hit you more than once? Did he hit you every time I made a mistake?" Steven was now at loss for words. He was now staring at the ground. Raymond's vision got blurry. He didn't know why he was crying. Out of pity? But the only thing he knew now was to hold tight the person in front of him who was staring at the ground continuously. Raymond hugged Steven tightly and the latter was dumbfounded. After recollecting himself Steven hugged Raymond back. They both hugging each other. This was the first time they hugged each other so tightly ever since they have met. Steven can feel something went on his shoulder but he didn't care since The only thing he has now wanted was to hug Raymond with all his might. Their hands around each others waist tightened every second. After a while they let go of each other. Steven with his hoarse voice said,"the breakfast has gone cold." Raymond let out a chuckle while wiping his tears,"Yeah probably. But its fine let's eat it. I'm hungry." Steven,"Okay." They both ate the cold meal which rather felt very warm. They finished their meal. Raymond,"Steven you don't have to come to college today. I'll go by myself." Steven handed Raymond his bag while picking up his own,"I have to go with you no matter how injured I am because I am your bodyguard." Hearing Steven say this Raymond's heart clenched,"You are not just a bodyguard but also My friend. And you can take holiday for a day i will talk to Dad about it." Steven still stubborn,"I can't please."

Raymond gave up and just nodded  in agreement. They both went to college. Even though  there is 2 years of difference between them they still study in same class due to late admission of Steven whose college fees is paid by Raymond's dad with the condition of protecting and being with Raymond 24/7.

They both entered their class. Raymond as famous as always was surrounded by girls trying to talk to him with Raymond smiling at them. Steven was behind him with a boy at his side.

This Boy's name is George. He is cute and talkative type. He is the only one who talks with Steven.

Steven doesn't have friends because of his cold nature. But George knows that Steven is only cold on outside but warm inside. George has know Steven for years now. They met in High school and now in same college. George is Steven's best friend and he is the only person in the whole college who knows that Steven is Raymond's bodyguard.

George and Steven were walking side by side behind Raymond until they sat down. Steven was sitting in between Raymond and George while the other side of Raymond were sitting many girls. The teacher came and they started studying. The lecture ended and they all went to the canteen. Raymond made a gesture to Steven asking him to sit besides him and the latter did so. George sat in front of Steven. George continued with all his babbling to Steven who was sitting quietly keeping an eye on Raymond who is busy with girls. But he kept glancing at Steven time to time to check whether he is doing okay with all the wounds. George all kept asking Steven about his wounds and if he is okay. They were eating their lunch when two girls came together behind Raymond and were standing.

They are Lacy and Candice. They also come from rich noble family and also know about Steven being Raymond's bodyguard.

Lacy came closer to Steven and whispered not visible and audible by Raymond,"A bodyguard should know his place. How dare he sit besides his master?" Steven gave her a eye but she poured the glass of cold juice in her hands on Steven making it look like an accident which grabbed Raymond's attention,"Sorry Steven. So so Sorry."

Raymond looked at Lacy now who was now acting like she was crying.
