a/n : I've never smoked or did shit like that so it's not gonna be accurate, just a heads up :)

an hour passed by, George stuck by Karl's side so he didn't have to 'third wheel' Clay and Floris.

"I HAVE THE GOODS" Alex exclaimed, bringing throwing a pack of cigarettes on the coffee table.

George didn't plan on smoking, he was never interested in it.

Nick took a cigarette from the pack, lit it, and took a drag. He then passed it to Karl who repeated his actions.

Karl passed the cigarette to George since he was next to him but George just shook his head and smiled.

Karl wasn't going to force George to smoke, so he smiled back and passed it to Alex who happily took it.

George spends the next 5 or so minutes on his phone while the three boys, Alex, Nick and Karl continue to go threw the pack of cigarettes.

George's eyes shoot up from his phone once he hears giggling from the kitchen that isn't coming from the three boys in the living room.

George, being George decides to snoop- though he calls it investigating.

"Clayyy!" A voice says with a giggle.

George knew that voice all too well, Floris.

George assumed Clay was there too because Floris drags him everywhere he goes like a dog on a leash.

As George gets closer to the kitchen, he decides to continue his so called 'investigating' and hides behind the nearest wall, where he can clearly hear their conversation.

"Wanna go join the others in the living room?" Clay asks.

"hmm" Floris hums. "Five more minutes?"

"Alright" Clay says with a giggle.

Then there was nothing but silence.

what are they doing?

For some reason, George felt the need to find out, but how?

It was as if a light bulb dinged above Georges head. He had just gotten an idea.

He turned the corner and there they were. Floris on the kitchen counter and Clay standing just in front of him with a cigarette in his hand.

That didn't bother George though, what bothered him was that both of their lips were on each others.

They were kissing.

George froze.

what the fuck.

Floris looked over and saw George standing there, Clay also looked over and had the same expression as George.

"Sorry I just needed a bottle of water." George said as he quickly walked over to the fridge and grabbed a water bottle.

George could feel tears pricking at his eyes, similar to the night of the party.

Clay realised this is understood what was going threw George's head.

"George.." Clay said softly.

George acted as if he couldn't hear him and made his way to the living room.

Clay was about to walk after George but was stopped by an arm tugging him back.

"Baby he needs time.." Floris said, he knew what he was doing.

Clay didn't want to be rude to Floris so he stayed.

Once George was back in the living he walked up to Karl.

"Hey.." he said, his vision going slightly blurry due to not letting a single tear escape his eye.

Karl's smile soon faded and the other two boys looked in the same direction Karls was looking at.

"Hey, are you alright?" Nick said, his voice sounding soft and humble.

George slightly nodded his head and turned his head back to Karl.

"Yeah" he said wiping a tear he accidentally left escape. "Can just talk for a minute?"

Karl nodded his head and slung an arm over George's shoulder, walking to the front door.

The two boys took a seat on the porch steps.

"Is everything alright George? You can talk to me if somethings on your mind." Karl said, rubbing soothing circles on George's back.

"I saw Clay and Floris kissing in the kitchen." George spat out, he cursed himself for being so straight up about it. Now he has to tell Karl about his feeling for Clay, he didn't mind though.

"Wait.." karl paused "are you.. jealous?" he said, a slight smirk tugging his lips.

George scoffed and shared a soft smile "is it that obvious?"

"You like Clay?!" Karl said, a full smile forming on his lips.

"Surprised you haven't figured it out already." George giggled.

"I don't know what to do Karl, my feelings towards Clay aren't just going to go away overnight and it's obvious he doesn't like me back."

"What makes you think that?" Karl questioned.

"Forgot about the part where I said I saw him and Floris making out?" George said sarcastically.

"Oh please. Floris must've done something because it's obvious Clay loves you. Plus your way hotter then him."

The two boys giggled at that sentence.

"Thank you Karl." George said, he knew Karl wouldn't say anything to the others, it was an unspoken rule.

"Anyway I should walk back home now, it's getting late and I don't want to worry my parents." George said as the two boys stood up.

"Okay! Call me if you need anything and I mean anything at all" Karl said as he gave George a warm hug.

They said goodbye to each other and George was off.

Thoughts swarmed his mind.

I just wished Clay loved me the way I loved him.

Before George knew it, he was back at his house.
