See you later

Confessions/good one

Once they got home Wilbur went to his room, closing his door and not leaving for a good two hours. When he finally did leave, he took a shaky breath and saw Schlatt on the couch, watching some movie.

"Hey" Schlatt said

"Hey" Wilbur smiled "what're you watching?"

"Uh, I don't know, just picked some random movie" Schlatt shrugged "why, have you come to join me?"

"I, in fact, have" Wilbur said, chuckling. He jumped on the couch next to Schlatt

"I'm going to finish this, just so your aware" Schlatt said

"Oh really" Wilbur smirked

"Yup" Schlatt nodded.

Wilbur slowly sat closer to him, Schlatt offering his hand. Wilbur took it and softly said "thank you"

"Always" Schlatt said, smiling slightly. Wilbur laughed, shaking his head. They continued to watch the horrendous movie Schlatt had chosen, laughing at the bad acting every other second.

The movie had finally ended and they continued to talk in the now pitch black room, neither one feeling the need to turn the lights on. They just laughed and talked about whatever came to their minds, it reminded Wilbur of all the sleepovers he had at Schlatt's house in middle school.

Eventually, Wilbur started to feel sleepy, so he did what every sane person would. He went to his room, and returned seconds later with his guitar. He and Schlatt screamed along to songs, their voices cracking as they tried to hit the high notes.

"God, I haven't sung that song in years" Schlatt laughed as Wilbur stopped strumming

"Hey Schlatt" Wilbur said as Schlatt stood up, pouring himself a cup of whatever they had on the counter

"Yeah?" Schlatt asked, sitting back down next to Wilbur on the ground, placing his drink on the coffee table next to them

"You know when I came out?" Wilbur asked

"Yeah" Schlatt nodded

"And you asked if there was a guy that I was into"

"Yeah?"

Wilbur held back a laugh "I swear if you say yeah one more time I'll-"

"Yeah?"

Wilbur laughed, shoving a chuckling Schlatt "fuck you. Anyways like I was saying, yeah, there was a guy I was into"

Schlatt's mouth twitched "who?"

Wilbur thought for a second before shaking his head "Give me a song"

"What? No you can't just-"

"Give me a song" Wilbur repeated

Schlatt shook his head, smiling slightly "fine, La Jolla"

Wilbur scoffed "of course, you cunt"

"Hey, you told me to" Schlatt chuckled

Wilbur just smiled and started playing

"You know it takes a lot to move me. So if you figure it out tell me. I trace figures on your smile lines. Work a formula to cure me.

And I'm lonely. There I said it. Nine million people. I always seem to add them up.

I could go, away. I could pack my things and be gone before you wake. You know I tried hard to love me too. It always seems to fall in through.

Maybe one day I'll live in La Jolla. Drinking cocktails out over the water. My own personal sunset. To give each day its own diploma.

And you know it's funny. Amid my backseat taxi cab. I'm trying to ignore the skyline. So I don't figure out where you've-"

Wilbur looked back at Schlatt, both of them smiling.

"Can I kiss you?" Wilbur asked softly

Schlatt smiled up at him, butterflies growing in his stomach.

"You goddamn bastard" Schlatt smiled, laughing "Come here" He sat up and pulled Wilbur to him, smashing their lips together. They both smiled through the kiss, trying their hardest to break it. Schlatt pulled Wilbur onto his lap, Wilbur dropped his guitar to the ground as he wrapped his arms around Schlatt. Schlatt sat up straighter, tangling his hands in Wilbur's hair. When they had finally contained their giggling, it became a slow kiss, both boys moving at a comfortable pace. There was no urgency, no panic, no fear. For the first time in what felt like forever, Wilbur felt safe, comfortable, loved.

After a few seconds they broke apart, both beaming. Schlatt moved his hand down to Wilbur's face. He rubbed his thumb across his cheek, Wilbur kissing his palm in response.

"You're such an idiot," Schlatt said, his voice laced with love. Wilbur's smile reached ear to ear, making obvious he was struggling with this much happiness. He leaned forward and pecked Schlatt on the lips. Schlatt smiled, resting his head back onto Wilbur's shoulder, wrapping his arms around Wilbur's chest. Wilbur rested his head on Schlatt's.

"So are we dating now?" Schlatt whispered. Wilbur snickered, shaking his head lightly

"Fine, but I get to be the boyfriend" Wilbur responded, Schlatt's eyes lighting up

"Was that a Drake and Josh reference?"

"Maybe" He laughed. Schlatt kissed him on the chin and yawned, lateness of the night finally getting to him.

"You can go to bed" Wilbur said "I'll be here in the morning"

"G'night" Schlatt said, hugging him again and quickly falling asleep in the crook of Wilbur's neck.

"I love you" Wilbur whispered, once he was sure Schlatt was asleep
