More Than One (BL)

Matt was just your average teenage kid with his whole life planned. He would go to college right out of high school with his best friend, Luna. He knew that to be so prepared and thinking so far ahead was unusual for a kid his age, but he had to be prepared. Since he was diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder (DID), or more commonly known as multiple personality disorder, he had to plan for possibilities that would happen with the other sides of his brain. With all his planning he could have never prepared for what happened.

“I don’t want to go to any party. I have too many things to do. In case you forgot, I’m trying to handle both freshman and sophomore classes. I really don’t have any time, but go ahead without me.” Matt reminds Luna as he looks over a mound of books and paperwork he has to turn in.

“Come on Matt, it’ll be fun I promise. You can’t stay hidden in your room forever. You have to come with me.” Luna pleads as she gets an outfit ready for him.

“Watch me, and will you please stop going through my stuff. I am not going.” Luna freezes because she can see the annoyance growing on Matt’s face.

“I won’t let you sit in here on a perfectly good Friday night. You are going. Well, I guess you could stay here...” Luna paused for a second.

“Great, we agree so will you leave me in peace.” Hopeful that she finally got the memo.

“But if you do I’ll have to call your mom and let her know that her son is not taking any breaks, even on the weekends. Just think how worried she’ll be.” A small smirk appears on Luna’s face because she knows Matt won’t deny her now.

“I hate you.” Matt stands to go look at the outfit she has picked out for him, and it actually looks pretty good.

“I love you too.” She jokes while blowing him a kiss.

“You really should go out more. You know it’s not good to stay by yourself all the time.” Matt sighs as Dyson tries to father him. Dyson is one of the four other personalities in Matt’s body. He tries to be the father of everyone since he is the oldest out of all of them.

“I know okay. I’ll try to be more social. Is there anything else?” Matt says out loud because Luna already knows about the others.

“Dyson?” Luna questions. Matt just nods to confirm what she suspected. They head out the door and walk towards Matt’s black truck. They drive for about an hour to Sandy Cove, the unofficial hookup spot for college students. There is a path made from lights, and as they follow the lights they can see glow sticks and signs. There are three signs and they say “Green = Straight & Single; Purple = Gay & Single; Blue = Taken/Uninterested.” Matt goes for a green glow stick but is quickly stopped by Luna.

“What are you doing? You’re not straight.” She hands him a purple one while grabbing a blue one.

“Not everyone needs to know, and you’re not taken.” He tells her while handing her a purple and green.

“True, but I am not interested in hooking up with anyone.” She smirks while putting the unneeded glow sticks back.

“Well, I’m not either. I don’t even want to be here!” He exclaims.

“Yeah, well, tough luck. Now put this on and go have fun. Well, try to anyways.” She says while pushing him towards the crowd. Once she puts everything back and gets her blue one, and she follows behind him. The night goes on, and while everyone is out in the water or dancing, Matt is by the bar, sitting there, drinking water, because he is too young to drink. A couple of guys came up to him looking to hookup, but he ignored them all.

“You dumbass quit moping and go have fun. It’s a party for crying out loud! My lord can you be any more depressing. I thought I was supposed to be the “emo” one in here. Now stop acting like your parents died, and enjoy yourself, or do I need to take control.” Claire, another voice, screams at him.

“You, take control, pa-lease, you’re seventeen. Also, your dad told you to stop cursing. Now leave me alone before he hears you, and you get us both into trouble.” Annoyed as ever Matt rolls his eyes and tries to tune her out.

“Like I care what he says I’m almost eighteen, and I’ll take control if you don’t stop acting like Sammy. Try me Matt, I dare you.” She threatens him again. Matt just rolls his eyes, and before he can get up another guy walks up to him.

“Hi there, we go to the same school right? I’m Axel. I’m two years ahead of you. Nice to meet you.” Axel gives Matt a sweet smile. His purple necklace hides the blue in his eyes, but you can still tell it’s there.

“He’s cute, for a guy I mean. Well, he is your type so go for it dumbass.” Claire cheers him on.

“Claire, are you cursing again? You know you’re not supposed to be doing that. How many times do I have to tell you? And Matt go for it with the guy.” Dyson joins in to cheer on Matt.

“Will y’all hush already. I get it!” Matt whispers to Claire and Dyson. They just laugh and stop talking. Once Matt looks at the cute boy in front of him he suddenly starts blushing. “I’m sorry. Can you forget that just happened? I swear I’m not normally like this. Oh yeah, we go to the same school right? Oh wait, you already said that. Umm… I’m in two grades below you. Oh yeah, you already said that too. My name is Matt. Did I already tell you that? You said your name is Axel right? Nice to meet you.” He rambles on trying to hide his embarrassment. Not sure what is happening Axel just starts laughing.

“You sure are cute, you know that?” He regains some control of his laughter. “Let’s try this again, okay? Hi there, I’m Axel. We go to the same school, I’m two years above you. Nice to meet you.” He finally managed to calm down enough to introduce himself again.

“C-Cute?” Matt starts blushing even harder and lowering his head. “I’m Matt. Nice to meet you.” He reaches out his hand, but not lifting his head. Axel gently lifts Matt’s head up to make him look directly in his eyes. This made Matt blush more. He shook off Axel’s hand and lowered his head again. Axel just started smirking. He leaned down to Matt’s ear and started whispering.

“You can either look at me, or you can kiss me. If you kiss me, I’ll have my eyes closed so I won’t be able to see your face. So, which one do you choose?” Axel leaned back up waiting for Matt to look at him.

“K-k-kiss” Matt whispered. He could barely hear himself.

“What was that I didn-” Before Axel could finish his sentence Matt jumped up and kissed him. It only took a second for Axel to respond. What started as an innocent peck turned into a lot more. Each time Axel tried to deepen the kiss Matt refused. Axel started to get frustrated so he pulled away from Matt. He could tell Matt was a little upset that the kiss ended. “Open your mouth or we won’t continue.” He looked Matt straight in his eyes pleading. Matt also wanted to keep going, so he opened his mouth an extremely small amount. Axel almost couldn’t tell he even moved, but he took this as a sign so he continued the kiss. When Matt felt Axel’s tongue in his mouth he started to pull back, but before he could Axel pulled him even closer to him. Once Matt couldn’t breathe anymore he broke free from Axel’s grip. Both of them were panting trying to catch their breath. “You have to breathe through your nose.” Axel stated through his pants.

“I’m new to this. It was hard.” Matt tried to explain while he was panting.

“Looks like that’s not the only thing that’s hard for you.” Axel smirked. Matt covered his crotch and looked away from Axel. “Hey, it’s a good thing. That means I can turn you on, and if it helps, you did the same thing to me.” Axel tried to calm him down. Without thinking, Matt grabbed Axel’s crotch. “Woah, hold on there, what are you doing.”

“I was seeing if what you said was true because I can’t tell by looking.” Matt explained making direct eye contact with a beet-red face. He quickly hides his face again. Axel gently lifted Matt’s head again to meet his gaze.

“I wouldn’t lie to the person I like.” He said in a sweet voice and with honest eyes. Matt blushed and kissed him again, and this time he jumped up wrapping his legs around Axel’s waist. Axel responded immediately. They stayed like that for a few minutes. Matt broke the kiss once he remembered the secret he was hiding. “What’s wrong? Are you okay?” Axel questioned, worried.

“I-I’m, umm… I’m fine. I just need to find my friend before she jumps someone, but umm… I umm… I’ll text you. Bye.” Matt hurried off Axel and disappeared into the crowd.

“What the hell are you doing? Are you insane? Go back to him.” Claire tried to reason with Matt.

“You’re right I am insane. That’s why I can’t go back to him. If he finds out that I talk to the other voices in my head he’ll run away as far as he can as fast as he can. I just can’t handle being rejected again. okay?” He started crying while explaining. Once he found Luna, he grabbed her and dragged her to the car without saying anything. Once they were in the truck Matt let Claire take control of the body while he hid inside.

“Claire, what happened?” Luna questioned looking worried like she did that one year. Claire tells Luna what happened between Matt and Axel on the way back to the dorms. They decided that Matt just needed to get some sleep, so Luna left him in his dorm room and went back to hers.
