My Hot Roommates [mxm+]

ʚɞ˚CHAPTER 9˚ʚɞ

FINN'S POV

It was a week after Drake and I had that little cuddling moment. It wasn't even just a cuddle moment since Drake opened up a bit and vented, getting a few things off his chest. It's safe to say he and I got much closer, spending any free time we had with each other. It was a bit difficult since we both had class plus Drake had an actual job, but we managed.

As for Nathan and Adam, who I now knew to be Drake's partners, they sort of avoided me. Nathan began going to work early and coming late at night to do his classes. Adam also left early in the morning to work extra hours at Linda's Sweet Goods before coming to the apartment and locking himself in his room.

I personally didn't mind but I could see just how much it was affecting Drake and that hurt.

The night Drake opened up to me, he confessed that he, Nathan, and Adam were together in a way. They weren't formally together as none of them actually asked each other out but they did fuck occasionally—which explained Adam kissing Drake on the cheek and the flirting between the three.

Honestly, I was surprised but I wasn't weirded out in the way Drake probably thought I was. I don't care how many people he dates at the same time, I just care about the fact that his partners and himself live with me.

God knows where the hell they've fucked in the apartment—including my room.

Anyway, I ended up also telling Drake that I was gay since he came out as pansexual to me. It was a relief because I was afraid they'd kick me out if I was gay but now I don't have to worry about that. But knowing Adam, I wouldn't be surprised if he used it against me even if he was gay himself.

The best of two worlds, I guess.

I also began working, although not the kind of work someone would think I work. Let me explain: I write on a website and, over the years, I gained quite a large following. I don't write anything big, just a few short stories, my opinions on things, rants, et cetera. But, because I had a large following, this big website/company decided to hire me to write articles.

Currently, I have to write three articles a week. For each article, I get paid 50 bucks. And overtime, if my works get positive feedback, they'll pay me more and ask me to write more.

It was a win win since I could write my opinions on random shit and get paid for it.

I also began editing amatuer writers' works. My prices weren't that high - I charged $5 for every 2,000 words, depending on the work they wanted me to do. If they just wanted me to leave feedback and comments, it was for five bucks. If they wanted me to edit a bit, but not change too much, it would be seven bucks. And if they wanted me to completely edit it while also leaving feedback and my reasons for the edits, then it would be 10 bucks for every 2000 words.

I was making a good 40 bucks from editing alone, which was great since I just started.

Obviously I didn't have enough for the cost of my room. I still needed to get more money, and quickly too. To make things worse, I didn't just have to pay for my room. I had to pay for food, my clothes, my loans, and so many more things. Needless to say, I was stressed.

I was working my ass off, editing works and writing whenever I wasn't in class. Today however, I was taking a long-deserved break. Mainly because I didn't want to get burned out and I wanted to spend more time with Drake, but currently Drake was at work.

I got off of my bed and made my way to the kitchen since I was hungry. Drake wasn't able to make food due to his boss needing him as soon as possible, so I had to cook something for myself. In the kitchen was Adam, eating some celery while on his phone.
