It Started as a Joke

Afterwards

<<Wrighteous' POV>>

i can feel myself tearing up and on the verge of crying, im not ready to actually think about what happened, i wasnt thinking about what to do if i was caught, i was just too into the moment you know? i lean my head onto slats shoulder and watch him pull out his phone and open tiktok. i slowly shut my eyes and try not to fall asleep, i dont get much sleep usually, but being with slat just makes it so easy. during this time im thinking about other times when it shouldve been obvious i liked him, but he probably doesnt like me back. i mean, it was just something that happened in the moment and will probably never happen again you know? i sigh at the thought "if youre tired you can lay down, its your house." slat says "oh uh look this might seem weird but if i lay down would you lay down with me?" i ask him without thinking. FUCK WHY WOULD I SAY THAT- "of course," he says calmly. i stand up andwalk to the side of my bed and lay down and watch slat as he lays down on the other side. after a few awkward seconds we started shifting around and by the end was basically cuddling each other, im glad he stayed over for these few days. maybe im not straight, but even then, not like i have to find out now. i should just enjoy my time with slat while hes here.

<<Slat's POV>>

he falls asleep but im not tired, i take out my phone and watch tiktok for about an hour until his mom knocks on the door "honey your grilled cheese is still waiting," she slowly opens it, theres probably no way to explain this without it looking sus especially after the kiss. when she notices she looks at me with a confused look "he was really stressed and kinda tired, i promise theres nothing going on" i tell her. she looks at me with certain look thats like 'i dont beleive that' but she still nods her head and walks out, respecting the fact hes asleep. i kiss him on the forehead and continue watching tiktok before realizing what i just did. so far i have cuddled my best friend, kissed him on the forehead subconsciously, made out with him, kiss him on the lips, and ran my hand through his hair subconsciously. maybe there is something going on between us.. i kinda just thought fuck it and decided to hold his hand too, hoping to god his mom stops coming in. after about an hour he holds me tighter, but still seems like hes sleeping. i shake him awake and after a few seconds he opens his eyes "you alright?" i asked he nodded his head, when i started to get up he let go assuming i was hungry since we hadnt ate since breakfast which was 3 hours ago. he gets up after me and we both head down to the kitchen "both of your grilled cheeses went cold, would you like me to reheat them for you or are you fine with them being cold" his mom asks wrighteous taps me on the shoulder "do you want yours reheated?" he asks while whispering, i nod my head yes "you can reheat both" he says to his mom "also can we talk when we get back to my room" he asks me quietly "oh of course" i respond back as quiet as him. she takes out food out on the microwave and gives it to us, once were finished eating we go back up to his room
