25. excited

George POV

It was sunday. I spent the rest of yesterday's day alternately at my computer and in bed. I had thought a lot and had relaxed peace to myself.

I had just had breakfast, it was 11am, when someone meant they had to storm my bell.
"Hell, I'm coming!", I yelled through the loud ringing while walking to the door.
"George!", Nick screamed excited when I had opened it.
"Nick", I laughed, "Hey, what's up?"
He stepped in and I closed the door behind him. We walked over to the couch and sat down.
"Okay, I wanna hear EVERY detail! Tell me!", I said.
"Well, I don't think you want to hear every detail", he laughed awkwardly while rubbing the back of his neck.

"What? Why? What do mean?! What happened?!", I got more and more curious.
"Karl and I almost slept with each other..." He pressed his lips together and looked at me seriously.
"Excuse me, what?! You only know each other for one day!", I said, "But...What stopped you?!"
I leaned forward in completely curiosity.
"Like, okay, we were even about to undress when suddenly Alex comes from behind!"

"Alex?"
"He's one of our group."
"Ouh, shit man..."
"He called me gay and then threatened to tell Clay", he rolled his eyes.
"Ouh, that's not good. What if Clay finds out about it?"
"What? Oh, no, that's absolutely fine. I was going to tell him anyway."
"What? Wouldn't he repel you then or something?", I asked confused.
"Clay?", he laughed, "he's gay himself. Why would he be mad at me if I told him that I'm in love with a guy?"
"Clay is... gay?" my brain stopped working.

So, it could have meant something that he told me he liked-...no, Stop thinking about that! It's over with this shit! Concentrate on Nick!

"Okay, but back to the topic", I said, "I really don't want to tell you anything, but don't you think it's a little...early for that?"
"I know, I know. It is. I also think it was a mistake, but we both just got carried away." He shrugged his shoulders.

"I definitely want to take it slowly and safely now."
Then I raised my thumb at him and nodded proudly.
"By the way, after we got interrupted by Alex, we cuddled and then slept together", he eventually said. "No, wait, No, I don't mean-", he said hastily to my distraught and confused expression, "not slept like sex, I mean we fell asleep in each others arms."
"Ouh, well, that's great! I wish you both the best of luck", I said, whereupon I got a friendly smile.

"You have said that you wanted to tell Clay...when?", I asked softly.
"Uhm, I thought right now?"
"Right now? Shouldn't I just help you to pack the things at the clearing?", I asked awkwardly. I had no idea why...
"No, it's fine. We woke up today at 9pm and already packed all the things before I brought him home", he smiled at me, "Hey, but why don't you come with me? I want to tell him personally. That would be a good chance to talk to him about...everything."
"Uhh, noooo, let it be. It's fine", I said with an awkward laugh.
"No, yes! I think you should. Out of school, that's the best idea anyway. And if something happens, I'll be there too. It will turn out fine", he said firmly.

Before I could say no again, he grabbed my arm and pulled me with him out of the house.
"Wait, let me at least grab my key, so I can get inside again! Jesus!", I said while I tore myself away and ran in to get the key and then came out again.
We took Nick's car, as it was already there anyway, and drove over to Clay's house. Fuck, here we go...

We got to the door and Nick kindly knocked with a little 'Oh Clayyyyyyyyyy'. The door opened with a smiling Clay.
"Hey brooo...", the 'bro' fainted when he saw me standing next to his friend. "What is he doing here?", he pointed to me with a disgusted expression.
"It'll be fine", was everything Nick said before he walked past Clay into the house and pulled me with him. I heard the door closing behind me and Clay told us to sit on the couch. I just followed Nick because I had no fucking idea where the living room in this huge house was.

"You wanna drink something?", Clay asked expressionless with hands in his pockets, only looking at Nick.
"I'd take a coke please. George, what do you want?", Nick said nicely. He sounded so happy, he really must have enjoyed that time with Karl.
"No, I was talking to you Nick, not him", Clay said while walking away, probably into the kitchen to get the coke.
"It's okay, it's okay", I whispered to Nick before he could say anything to it.
He just rolled his eyes before whispering back: "You will clear that up today."

When Clay came back, he sat on another couch opposite to us.
"So, what's up man?", he just looked at Nick, of course. He didn't even look at me. Inside school I was his toy, outside of school I was a pile of dirt that had to be ignored.

"Okay, so...George helped me with one thing there", he patted my shoulder, "and like, helped me to make up a date...for...me"
"You?", Clay raised his eyebrows, smiling, "With who?"
"Karl?", Nick said quietly.
"Well, I don't know this guy, but...wait", he paused for a moment, "...a guy? Nick, wow" He sounded so impressed at this information.
"You know, I just thought I'd tell you everything", Nick said.
"Yeah, of course, I wanna hear the story", Clay leaned forward in curiosity.

Then Nick began to talk.
"Okay, I met him at this game that we played in the first lesson on Friday. After school we talked and exchanged numbers. Then we texted each other and suddenly he asked for a date! ... Well, not directly, but something like that." Clay sometimes nodded and smiled a bit.
"Anyway, I couldn't think of anything and besides, I was really excited, so I went to George ...", Clay cut him off there.
"To George? Why did you go to George? You could've gone to me too", he said in a pissed tone.
