how bad could it be?- stevepop fanfic

chapter two

sodapop
i got up earlier than usual because i just couldn't sleep. pacing around down stairs helped me think a little so that's what i did.

what the fuck. why did i have to dream about that? i mean i liked it... but that's beyond the point. steve honestly looked so hot just kissing my skin, and it felt good, too. i just want to do that in real life; kiss him and run my hands though his hair and end up with purple-red spots on my neck. but he would never want that, because he's steve. he's not gay. wait- am i gay? i think this makes me gay. what will darrel say? i have to tell him.

"hey soda. what're you doin', little buddy?"
speak of the fucking devil.

just thinking gay thoughts about my best friend. "uh- nothing much. just... thinking, you know?"

"about? you look a little stressed."

i looked up from the ground and into his eyes. darry looked like he really, truly wanted to help me out, so i did it. i told him.

"hey, man. i know this might sound a little... i don't know, out of place, but i need to tell someone. i- i think i'm gay. for steve. is that weird?"

"oh, it's okay." he started walking towards me, pulling me into a hug. "i'm fine with it, you know you being gay, so if anyone gives you trouble tell me, okay?"

a muffled response came out of my mouth because my face was tucked into the crook of his neck. a tear streamed down my face and i don't know why. maybe it's because i just had an emotional moment with darry but i just couldn't let go from the hug.

"so.. uh- are you gonna tell him?"

i hadn't really thought about that. i might but he's not gay so he would probably not want to be friends and then i will have no friends and we would work different hours at the dx if he felt uncomfortable and it would be awkward with him still in the gang-.

i let go and realized darry was waiting for a response.

"uh, i don't know. should i?"

"well, don't tell anybody you got this from me, but i think he likes you a little, too. you should see the way he looks at you when he thinks no one else is watching. he blushes when you accidentally touch him. so, in my opinion, he likes you back."

"well, i'll wait a little. i'm scared. how will i do it?"

"your call, little buddy. but i gotta get your brother up and you have got yo get ready for work. your soon-to-be boyfriend will be over soon." he said with a wink.

my call. okay, well maybe it'll be today.
