XOXO

"Anya told me you had a weird dream about Toby last night." Jasper murmured as Kata sat down next to him on the bench next to the track behind the high school. He had texted his friend to get him here to talk to him about half an hour ago.
"Yeah…" Kata ran his hand over his face, stifling a yawn. "I couldn't go back to sleep after it… I was so worried about him."
"What was it about?" Jasper asked tentatively. Part of him didn't really want to know what had been going on in Kata's head the last couple of days, but more of him was morbidly curious. The German man shook his head, a sense of disquiet shining in his dark eyes. "Please tell me…"
"Only if you tell me something first." He countered, resting his arms on his knees and bowing his head, looking down at his hands. "What's going on between the two of you?" He glanced up at the blonde out of the corner of his eye, watching with a hint of amusement as his cheeks turned red.
"Nothing." He muttered, looking at the grass in front of him and kicking at it with his toe.
"Lager." Kata sighed. "Don't give me that shit Jasper."
"I'm not lying! There's nothing going on with me and Toby!" Jasper defended, his face still red. He had to tuck his long, platinum blonde hair behind his ear to keep it from blowing in his face when a particularly strong gust of cool fall wind hit them. "Don't get me wrong… I'd love to be with him… But I can't."
"And why not?" Jasper shivered a little. Not only from the chilly air but Kata's smooth voice. It was easy to see why so many people admired him. He was tall, good looking, and had the exotic effect, achieved by the thick German accent and his known origin.
"I just can't… We'd never work as a couple."
'Especially not  now.' He thought bitterly with a sharp jolt of jealousy. Kata shook his head, sighing and rubbing his hands together  to warm them up.
"Now you tell me. What was your dream about." Those dark eyes flashed with anger.
"That… man that you told us about… Jareth… He had Toby and… I don't like the thought of someone like Toby being with someone like him." Kata's voice was full of hate.  "I don't know why To would ever let anyone do that to him…" Jaspers heart started to race. Had Kata seen the same thing he had seen in the crystal earlier that day? "It just doesn't seem like him, you know what I mean?"
"Yeah… I was thinking the same thing. I don't like the idea of Jareth being anywhere near Toby. He's the kind of man that will stop at nothing to get what he wants." The blonde looked back down at the ground. "But there's nothing we can do about it… Toby went with him on his own terms. Even if he was kidnapped… How would we get to him?" Tears sprang to Jasper's light blue eyes. "What if he never comes back Kata?"
"He will. We have to believe that…" Kata wrapped his arm around Jasper's shoulders and rubbed his arm to warm it a little.
"He was my first friend when I moved here." The blonde sniffed. "He's still one of my only friends."
"Tch. Lager. You have tons of friends. The soccer team.  The lacrosse team. Track. The whole art department loves you." Kata scoffed gently.
"Those are admirers… Not real friends." The German looked at him with soft, understanding eyes. "I just… I just want Toby back."
"So do I."
~xoxo~

It was hard for Jasper to focus in any of his classes on Monday. The conversation he'd had with Kata on Saturday was still weighing heavy on his mind and bringing tears to his eyes whenever he was alone to dwell on the thoughts.

~xoxo~

Toby blinked and rubbed a tear away from his eye, slightly confused.
"Is something wrong Young Master Toby?" Annisa asked quietly. The two were sitting alone in Toby's room, just talking. Toby telling the girl stories about his friends and his home.
"No… Just a feeling I had… I wonder if anyone misses me." He mused, biting on his lip ring, a nervous habit he had formed recently.
"I don't see why they wouldn't with the way you speak of them." The girl smiled. The brunette smiled back.
"You're right."

XOXO

Well there's chapter six. I'm sorry it's so short. But it was just kinda a filler chapter. Yes, Jasper is madly in love with Toby. No he won't get between him and Jareth… much ;3

Hope you liked it anyway.

Much Luffs!!

P.S. Lager means "liar" in German!
