Hunter was wiping off the tables when an unexpected visitor walked into his life.
His uncle.
He was tall, muscular, with long greasy grey hair.
Hunter gulped.
"Hunter! My boy! How are you?"
"G-g-good." Hunter stuttered.
"I thought I'd drop by to see you before you head off to college!"
"Ummm.. ok." Hunter said, embracing his uncle in an awkward hug.
No. Not now, this was not a good time. His uncle had raised him after his parents had died. Hunter has grown up surrounded by homophobes, always cursing the gays. His uncle, being one of the homophobes, was the last person hunter wanted to see right at this moment.
"So, what's been going on with you lately?"
Hunter gulped.
Well, for starters, he had a crush on a boy, he was also falling in love with a random person online and he was gay. He was very VERY GAY.
But of course he couldn't tell his uncle that.
"Pretty..... good?" He said nervously.
"That's great. Get me a coffee will ya?" He said, sitting down at one of the tables.
Hunter gulped and got right to work.
Oh no.
Not now.
WHY.
WHY.
Why on earth did his uncle have to show up now?
Just then the bell walked in, and the last person hunter wanted too see walked in.
Gus.
"Hi Hunter!" The boy said, not noticing hunters look of terror.
"Ah Hunter! I see you've made some friends?" Belos said from his table.
"Excuse me for a moment uncle." Hunter said, dragging Gus into the back of the cafe.
"What are you doing here?!" Hunter whisper yelled at Gus.
"I came in too say hi?" Gus said.
Hunter paused. He was overreacting. Gus didn't know hunter had a crush. On him. Gus didn't have to know anything. For all Gus knew, Hunter was a crazy man who had pulled him into the back of a coffee shop to yell at him for trying to buy coffee.
He doesn't need to know anything.
"Uhh.. sorry. I though you were someone else."
Hunter said.
"Riiiiight... because you know so many good looking guys with spiky black hair and charming good looks?" Gus said, smiling a big goofy grin.
Hunter couldn't stop himself from blushing.
"I... I.." Hunter felt the world start to spin. He felt dizzy. His head felt like it was about to explode. All his muscles tensed. His shoulders seized up and he felt himself to all stiff. His breathing began to get faster and faster.
He sunk to the floor.
Gus looked at him, not knowing what to do, before leaning down to hunters level.
"Hey." He said.
"I'm going to show you a trick. My friend thought it too me. Use your fingers to count your breathing. Here. 1...2...3...4...."
(Authors note: idk if I got the breathing thing right, someone tel me what it was not he actual episode. I forgot.)
Hunter followed along with Gus.
1....
2....
3....
4....
5....
Hunter sighed. He felt his body start to relax. He felt his muscles unclench, and his shoulders slumped back to their normal position.
"There you go!! You got it!!" Gus exclaimed.
Hunter was so focused on his breathing, he hardly noticed that Gus's arm was wrapped around his shoulder.
Hunter jerked away. He was not ready for physical contact.
"Umm.. thanks for the. Breathing tip." He said, standing up.
"No problem." Gus said.
"Hunter?!" Belos called from the front of the cafe.
"Crap. Gus, you need to go." Hunter panicked, shoving Gus out of the back and out into the warm air.
"See you later I guess?" Gus said as hunter ran back inside.
Gus began his walk home. That hunter boy was strange.—————————————————_
