Aaron T. x Aaron Z. - One-shots

Traitor

3rd person POV: there's light smut btw-

Aaron T. doesn't remember how he fell in love with Aaron Z.

One moment they were good friends and the next they were lovers. T often laughs at how easy it was. Falling for Z didn't even feel like falling, it felt like being swept off your feet into the ocean currents, calmy floating in the water.

T had never been in a relationship before, he didn't have the experience the older had, but Z made things so easy. Waking up in his arms with the sunlight peeking through the curtains, subtle kisses around the campus, ice cream dates and riding on Z's bike. It was too easy falling for him, really.

He doesn't remember exactly when things started to change either.

One year into their relationship, with T entering his 2nd year in college and Z in his final year, things started to get hectic. Z was always busy, but he didn't blame the older. He understood that he was under a lot of stress.

"Z?" T says into his phone. He hears the older sigh into the call, "Yeah, baby? are you alright?" Z replies.

He sounds tired, T thought. He was sitting on his bed with his head laid on his knees.

"Yeah, i'm okay. Just miss you a lot right now. wanted to hear your voice." T says with a slight pout.

He really did miss his boyfriend. Their calls became more frequent, conversations short, Z was always rushing around campus, and he started coming over less. When was the last time they even hung out?

Z sighed, "You know i'm busy. I just don't have time right now."

He sounded more aggressive than usual. Did T make him mad? He didn't mean to do that.

"Yeah, I know. Guess i'm just being too needy. Sorry." T says, feeling dejected.

"i miss you too, T. Once i get through my stuff we'll do whatever you want, okay?"

T grins slightly, it was ridiculous how easy it was for Z to get him to stop sulking.

"Yeah, sounds good."

"Goodnight, T. I love you."

"I love you more."

Something shifted between them after that phone call. T noticed Z hanging around another boy on campus. A third year, and really fucking hot. T never thought of himself to be the jealous type, he usually felt secure in his relationship, but with how distant he and Z were getting he couldn't help but feel a little bitter.

As T watches them on the campus lawn he feels something nasty in the pit of his stomach.

"Oh c'mon, T. He can make plans with some dude he just met, but can't even stay up to talk to you for a bit? what an asshole." Tae grunts.

They were sitting together at a small cafe next to the campus.

"Hey don't say that, i'm sure he has his reasons. I think I'm just being weirdly insecure." T smiles sadly, "It's not even that big of a deal."

"What's not that big of a deal?" Robaire slides into the booth next to Tae.

"Z is being a weirdo." T kicks Tae under the table and the younger boy hisses in pain. "Ouch? Fuck you?" T rolls his eyes at him.

Jesse laughs, "What happened?"

"It's nothing really, i'm just being a bit dramatic."

"If it affects you this much then you are not being a bit dramatic" Tae says air quoting T. "Quit invalidating your own emotions, T."
