━︎ VOL ONE. CHAPTER THREE

❝︎ we all eat lies when our hearts
are hungry ❞︎

The first thing Jack realizes when he wakes up is that he is naked. The second thing he realizes is that there is a mop of messy brown hair lying on his chest. And then Oh, Oh. memories from the night before come flooding into his head.

Keith ditching him at the party, Steve Harrington crying on a curb, The brunettes laugh, and the way he stared at Jack, fighting with Harrington over the best Queen song, Steve's lips crashing onto his, clothes falling to the ground, Steve on top of him as he connected their lips like nothing else in the world mattered, the hushed giggling and whispers, and falling asleep with the taller boy in his arms.

'Oh my god, I slept with Steve Harrington.' Is the first thing Jack thinks when he puts the pieces of the night before together.

"OH MY GOD. I slept with Steve Harrington!' Is the next thing that comes's to the teen's mind.

Jack tries to get Harrington out of his arms, the boy still fast asleep. But, every time he tries to slip out Steve mutters something in his sleep or moves closer to Jack.

Jack realizes that he either has to wake Harrington up or live like this for the rest of his life, or at least until noon.

"Steve." He whispers.

Steve's eyes flutter open, blinded by the light that is pouring out from the blinds near Jack's window.

Steve seems to have the same realization as Jack did. He looks at Jack, then at his shirtless chest, and stares in disbelief for a good minute.

When he scammers out of bed, pushing Jack to the side, mumbling things to himself Jack wishes he stuck with plan two.

Jack can't make out much of what Steve is saying but he can hear sorts of it.

"Not gay"

"A Phase"

"Shit! Shit!"

"Nancy..."

"Fuck."

"Calm down Steve." is the first thing Jack find's himself saying.

Steve stares at him in disbelief.

"Calm down? Calm down!? I just cheated on my girlfriend with a guy, who I was positive I hated until last night, and you're asking me to calm down?" Steve roars.

Jack stays quiet. "I mean this is crazy! This is crazy! I'm not, I'm not-"

"You're not gay?" Jack answers for Steve.

"I'm not. I swear." Steve says.

"Not saying you are, but you willingly slept with a guy, just saying," Jack replies bitterly.

"We were drunk out of our minds!" Steve shouts, steam practically pouring from his ears.

"You and I both know, we were not that drunk last night," Jack says, bitterness still in his tone of voice.

"So what? You wanna go to school together every morning holding each other's hands? Want me to kiss you on the cheek before you go to class? Want to buy a fucking dog and adopt two kids?" Steve responds by throwing a shirt over his head.

"Just fucking get out Harrington!" Jack screams as he throws his own shirt on as well.

"Happily!" Steve screams back, stomping towards Jack's door.
