Awsten's pov:
I didn't have work today. We got a new hire last week and he's been picking up a lot of my usual shifts. I don't mind it though.
I'm doing fine on money at the moment, I have enough for next month's rent and as embarrassing as it would be, if I ever need help, Jawn's always there for me.
I guess it's kind of nice to have someone like him. It's not like I really have anyone else.
Except for Otto. I have him now, too.
Kind of.
We've been messaging for a few days now, and I think I really like him.
He hasn't brought up his fiancé, though. Not that that means anything, but I definitely think that he's avoiding the subject.
Anytime I ask him about his plans for the day he conveniently never talks about it. I know he's gay though, well I think he's gay. He has to be gay. His bio basically confirmed it.
But still, I can't really be sure.
I'm surprised he even wanted to talk to me, with my first message saying he's cute.
No straight man wants to hear another guy call them "cute."
What does his fiancé think about the whole situation?
I sigh and pull out my phone, opening our messages.
Awsten: hey
As I wait for his response I begin to wonder if I should even be talking to him.
Otto: Hey :)
Otto: What're you up to?
Awsten: thinking about you, of course
Otto: Haha
Otto: No really?
Awsten: just lying in bed
Awsten: and talking to the birthday boy
Otto: That's me 😇
Awsten: *1 pic attached*
Awsten: open it
I smiled as I stared at the photo I sent him. It was me with a party hat edited onto my purple hair. Jawn's genius editing ass strikes again.
Otto: Cute!
Awsten: me or the picture?
Otto: I'm going to leave that open to interpretation
I am in love with this man.
