That same night, James had a flash back dream where, in a more grand yet older style of room he had slept with Net (or someone who looked an awful lot like him) and mere hours after, in a daze James could see Net climbing out of the window and left to what seems like his house, which also looked grand yet vintage.

The next 'morning' (still in a dream in the vintage bedroom) he saw that Net wasn't there. So he sunk back into his bed, grabbed a fistful of sheets to his chest, and stared at the slightly opened window as tears rolled down his eyes.

The next morning, James woke up from his dream, and saw Net's sleeping face as they were somewhat entangled in each other, in which calmed James down as he sunk his head back into his bed quite contempt.

That's when Samantha barged into the room and turned on the lights, full of frustration. This, in turn, woke Net and James up from their slumber with their hangovers kicking in. "Turn off the lights!" James demanded. However Samantha ignored the demand and went on a rant

"So after I warned you too last night, you guys still went ahead and had sex? I might as well just have you guys crash in bed as you guys are still in your clubbing outfits while reeking of booze. Plus, now that you're sober, doesn't this feel a little awkward? Whatever, the point is, I am very mad the both of you." Which ended with Samantha crossing her arms.

Well we kissed at the club so this morning would have felt awkward regardless, but she's right.  This does feel terribly awkward. James thought to himself, but then went on to apologize to Samantha.

"Ok fine. I'm sorry Sam for causing you to go through all that trouble only for it to be in vain. I promise that I'll make it up to you someday."

As annoyed as she was, Samantha stopped crossing her arms, then asked Net and James if they were going to work today as her boyfriend was able to drop all of them off, to which they completely declined, so Samantha left them alone.

Before that however, she left them with this little reminder "If you guys plan on having sex again anytime today, please keep it in this room; I don't want any suspicious liquids on the couch." which brought the level of awkwardness to an all time high.

"Well I'm going to go take a shower." James said in an attempt to escape the situation, using a blanket to cover his nether regions. However, before he could take that shower, Net got ahold of his wrist to ask a question.

"Hey, so when after we get ourselves  cleaned, do you think we could talk." "Yeah." James answered cause what else can they do anyways.

After taking a shower, Net was wearing grey sweat pants and a tank top while James was wearing a white shirt with basketball shorts, they both went to the living room and sat on the couch, in which Net wanted to break the ice a bit as it was still very awkward.

"Hey, are there still finger markings on my back?" Net asked as he pulled up his shirt to show to James. "Oh my gosh, I did that? Oh my gosh I'm so sorry." James said as he slowly covered his mouth.

"No worries, I think I've made way too many love bites on you." Net said so nonchalantly, in which James responds with "Wait what" and runs to the nearest mirror.

There, he could see one too many love bites on his neck, and some on his collar bone too, but after observing such sight for far too long, James went to sit back on the couch.

"Never have I ever seen that many love bites on one person, and not one time did I think that it would be on me." James said, to which they both had a good laugh about it.

"Ok, now let's get serious." Net began. " *sigh* Do you have any regrets about last night, any at all? You don't have to sugar coat it for me if there are, I can take it.".

James was a bit stunned by the question, but still went on to answer it "No, I did not in any way regret what happened last night, and believe me, a lot went down that night, but I don't regret it at all. So stop second guessing yourself on this matter."

With that, Net let out a huge sigh of relief. "Ok, so now with all that has occurred between us, what happens now?" Net asked.

"Mmmmmmmm, I'll think about it." James answered, almost teasing Net as he got off the couch to get himself some water. Net just gave a slight chuckle and helped himself to some water as well.

Then put down the glass once he finished and asked "But seriously though, what are we now." making his way to James who was sitting on the counter and stood in the space between James' legs as he loosely wrapped his arms around James waist.

James gave a slight chuckle at the sight of this unfold but then.......it hit him.

Holy shit. I just kissed AND had sex with........him over the course of one night, and now he's asking where we stand!! James thought to himself. His fast heart rate that's he's been ignoring all this while has crept up on him, and now his expression went from calm to shocked.

"Is anything wrong?" Net asked, looking a little a worried. James went on to say,

"So much has happened in the last 24 hours, and now it's hit me like a tidal wave. If I was told that I would even so much as kissed you in the 24 hours, I would have called the person crazy. But now it's morning, and I'm sitting on my counter with your hands wrapped around my waist as you're mere inches from me. We went to a club together and even kissed on the dance floor, not to mention that we had.....sex. I'm just *scoffed* trying to wrap my head around it.". "So what are you trying to say?" Net asked. So James continued his statement. "What I'm saying is, I've you for quite.while now, but didn't think it would go anywhere. Now, with all that has happened................I want to ask if you could be my boyfriend."

With that last sentence, Net's face lit up, even did a little victory dance. Then he went back to James and hugged him tightly saying "Of course I'd be your boyfriend." Which had James smiling from ear. 

After one long hug, Net looked up at James and kissed him passionately. Then brought James off the counter as they headed to the living room. James had his back laying on the armrest of the couch while Net on him with his back facing James.

James had his arms loosely hugging Net in which was reaching Net's chest, and then they began to watch a movie.

Then Net, in a hushed tone asked "So does this mean we're official?" and  James replying in the same tone saying,

"Yeah, we're official."
