Eugene's POV:
____________
Last night at the office was exhausting. River stopped by my place first, and she dragged me all around looking for her partner, who before their relationship, tried to kill us both. How lovely.
The entire time I was thinking about my boyfriend, who was also rather hostile to me beforehand. He's a total Chad but also gay as hell, and I love him more and more every day.
Text conversation:
Luke ✨💅💋: ughhh when do you get off work I wanna talk to youuu
You: soon
I wanna call so baddd
"Is that your boooooyfriiiieeeend?" River taunted over my shoulder.
I rolles my eyes and pushed her gently.
"What are you talkin' about with him?"
"Just the usual, 'I miss you', 'i wanna call', bla bla bla."
"Then call him!"
"You don't mind?"
"Nah, I wanna see you two be cute. But no cyber sex."
"River what the fuck? We're literally kids."
"Okay, your point? I first touched pussy when I was twe-"
"I don't need to know this shit!"
I've never really thought about doing it with him, to be honest. It just kinda grosses me out. Not because it's Luke, just because I don't want to do that. I'd like do anything but that.
"Hey, River?"
"Uh oh, are we having a serious talk? I may be a little, teensy, weensy bit absolutely hammered right now. Then again, when aren't I? Go ahead kid."
"Okay," I started, a bit nervously, "what if I don't want to, uh, do that? I love Luke, a lot, and I could definitely see myself being with him for the rest of my life. But I really don't like the idea of us, well, sleeping together."
"Oh, okay!" She smiled, "so you might be asexual!"
"Huh? I thought that's when a species reproduces without sex."
"Well, now it's a term for people who don't want to have sex. There's a lot of specific terms you can use too. Take Charlie for example, they are demisexual. Them and I were only sexual once we got to know eachother better, and that's fine."
"But... What I'd Luke wants to-"
"First of all, if he forces you into consent, scream my name and I'll beat his ass so hard he'll be sleeping with the ghost-fishes. But sometimes, if an asexual wants to satisfy their partner, they can do things with them for the other person. Obviously the asexual has to be on board with this.
"Luke's a nice guy though, he'll understand, just talk to him."
"Well, if you're sure..."
I thought I'd give it a shot.
Luke's POV:
____________
Eugene is literally my world. He's helped me through so much. I literally can't believe how lucky I am to have him in my life.
So when I received a text saying, "are you free to come over? I need to talk to you", I was moderately anxious.
Was he breaking up with me? Was he in trouble? Did he do something?
I hurried over. Usually when I walk at a normal, humane pace, it takes around 8 minutes. I got there in 150 seconds.
"What's... What's up? You said... You needed... To talk..." I panted, out of breath from running.
"Oh my God, did you run all the way here? Please, come sit down."
I sat, and he took his seat close, but not close enough to be in a romantic way, but not far enough to be scared of my reaction.
In the movies, this is the exact distance that people break up at.
"So, what was it you want to say?" I said, trying to hide my anxiety. I could tell he was anxious too which only made me feel even worse.
"Uhh... So River and I were talking, and I think I might me asexual?"
"Oh, what's that?"
"So I don't wanna have sex, but I really still wanna be with you, and I know I might've let you down, and I'm sorry because everyone says sex is the core of a relationship and it can't work without, but everytime someone says the word it makes me sick and I just really couldn't do it if I tried so I hope you understand and if you don't I'm really sorry but I-" he let out a choked sob, and I realised how upset he was about this.
"Heyyyy..." I pulled him into a hug, "it's okay. Don't cry."
I could feel my hoodie getting very wet, but I didn't really care because I was holding my boy in his darkest hour, and I just wanted to make him feel okay.
"... You're not mad?"
"Of course not, peach pie! As long as you're happy, I'm the happiest boy alive, and if giving up sex is what you need, I'll happily make that little sacrifice."
"Will you miss it?"
"Have you never heard of a little thing called, 'jerking off'?"
"EWW!" He exclaimed, backing away, and I laughed.
"I'm kidding, I'm kidding... Okay, I'm not, but seriously. You don't owe me anything. Being in a relationship is all about what makes the other person happy, and I fuckin love you for who you are, damnit. Don't ever feel like you need to change, especially for me. You're perfect the way you are."
"I don't know if I should be crying or cringing." He said, slowly laying his head on my lap.
"Hey, I mean what I say. I say what I mean. I'm a man of my words. Other various sentences that prove I'm truthful in my speech." He laughed, and I began playing with the hair that was sticking out his hood.
Slowly, he started to fall asleep more and more, and eventually, I heard him quietly speak, "can you... Carry me... To bed..."
"Are you still wearing your binder? You can't wear it when you're asleep."
"... Who cares..."
"I care. Now, I'll take you up, but promise me you'll take it off."
"... fiiiiine..."
I carefully scooped him up, bridal style, and carried him up to his room. During the short journey, I took the time to acknowledge the beautiful boy I held in my arms. His lean body was curled up to mine, his mouth slightly open. I kept hearing cute, little breath snores escaping his airways as his arms lay on his chest, his arms gently touching his chin and his small feet in his worn-out shoes dangling limply. I don't know what I did in my past life to deserve him, but I must have been a saint.
"I'll shut the door so you can take your binder off, okay? Let me know when I can come back in." I kiss his forehead, and he slowly sits up as I leave.
"You handled that well." I heard a deep voice say.
"Wh- who's there?" I whispered.
"I am Eugene's boss. I must say, I'm impressed.
"He is a gentle soul. You seem to understand that. You respect his boundaries, and you're willing to make big sacrifices to maintain his happiness."
"Oh... You were listening?"
"I am always listening. So, if I were you, I wouldn't even think about hurt him." He chuckled in a serious tone.
"I think he's done changing. Knock on the door."
"Uhh... Okay then... Thank you."
No response.
"Hey, peach pie... You done yet?"
"... Yeah..."
I entered slowly, and there he was. Sleeping soundly.

Heyyy, Mel here!
First, soooo sorry for not posting. Like, ever. I know I've been promising for like... 6 months?! Holy shit. Here it is. I will try to write more, but omg I have been sooo busy since that first update. To think my brother was still FOUR years old when I published that first update, now he's going into his 2nd year of school. Wow.
Secondly, I'm not used to writing in past tense, so please do let me know if you spot anything in present tense that I missed.
And finally, these are just one shots, so you're welcome to request. I'll try to get around to the ones that were suggested before, and if you guys want I'll try to do a Charlie and River fanfic, based on a roleplay universe me and a friend created! Aaaaaa I'm so happy I finally released.
Anyway, have a good day, remember to eat and drink, get some sleep, and be yourself. :)
