Thread: The Obsession (randomname and Izzy)

College was expensive even for people who grew up with Money. Many students work as research assistants or through work-study to make up for their lack of income. Samuel Davis or Sam as his friends called him was one of these people. He was a History Major who hoped to understand the world a bit better by studying the past. Sam was currently working on deciphering some old texts from ancient Egypt with his world renowned Professor. Professor Greg Jackson was known around the world for several amazing discoveries he made throughout his career. Sam hoped to be like him one day. He wanted to travel the world and see all that it had to offer. He remembered the day Professor Jackson told him he was the chosen student for this project. There were so many great applicants and Professor Jackson saw something in him. He remembered calling Mason his Hockey star boyfriend excited about the news. The internship meant he would not be able to spend as much time with Mason as he would have liked but it was too good of an opportunity to pass up. Professor Jackson was sitting next to Sam as they worked on looking up sources to help them with the text. Now Sam I'll be seeing you regularly starting next week. With all of the work that needs to be done I could use all of the help I can get. I can't even begin to tell you how much you mean to me. The Professor said with a wink. Sam smiled uncomfortably at Professor Jackson. He didn't know any Professor that would wink at a student but then again Professor Jackson was the best Professor he ever had. He brushed aside the feeling of being uncomfortable. I didn't forget Professor Jackson. I'll be here Monday. At that moment Sam's phone buzzed on his desk. He checked it realizing Mason was there to pick him up. He texted his boyfriend back telling him to come up to Room 322. He waited Professor Jackson to get to know Mason a little better. They worked so closely together that he wanted him to like Mason. Professor Jackson...Mason's here and he'll be up in a moment. You remember him right? He's my boyfriend! It was a subtle difference but Professor Jackson's mood shifted. His smile faltered a bit but it was only a small difference. Sam wasn't sure what caused the change but he brushed it aside. It had been a long day looking at computers. Of course I remember him. It'll be nice to say hello. The man said with a forced smile. Just then the door opened and in walked Mason. Sam's heart jumped at the sight of him. They met freshman year and at first Sam couldn't stand being around Mason. He was immature then and your stereotypical frat star and athlete. It was over the next year that Sam saw a different side of Mason. He was strong and tender, caring and protective. He truly listened to Sam and grew as a person. Mason hounded Sam for a date when they first met but overtime Sam finally agreed to go and the rest was history. Mason, how was practice? Sam asked as he made his way over to his boyfriend. Mason was several inches taller than Sam so Sam stood on his toes and gave his boyfriend a small kiss on the lips. Let me just grab my things and we can head back to your apartment. Sam said as he went back to his seat to grab his jacket and backpack.
