Coming Out - An Emon Fanfic

Chapter 2 - The Invite

Ethan's alarm blared into his skull, "ughhh," he moaned as he turned it off. He turned over in his bed and smiled as he remembered what happened last night.

Simon and him were dying with laughter as they went through editing Simon's video; at one point they were laughing so hard Josh and Vikk came in, shouting at them to "shut the fuck up" as "people are trying to sleep" to which Simon simply replied to with a middle finger.

After they edited the video, they decided to play Fifa. "No Simon! Please, please!" Ethan squealed as Simon scored yet another goal. "Haaa, got 'emmm!" Simon laughed as he continued to score. "Nahh, fuck this!" Ethan yelled as he threw his controller onto Simon's bed and held his head in his hands. "Aww Ethan, come on buddy," Simon put his arm around Ethans neck, "here, I'll let you score next." He passed Ethan's controller back. Ethan looked up at him as he took the controller and they both laughed at Ethan's tantrum as they continued to play.

Ethan chuckled at the memory. He could still feel Simon's arm around him, and the way he looked into his eyes as he comforted him. Did the look mean anything? Was there a slight hint of...well...love? No, Ethan and Simon were best friends, they had been so for more then a year. So why did he feel like there was something there whenever they looked at each other? Ethan shrugged, dismissing the thought. He felt tired as he had only had a few hours of sleep. He ignored the fact that he was meant to be up and slowly fell back to sleep.

*********

Ethan's phone vibrated as he slowly got up and saw it was Simon calling him. That, and it was one o'clock in the afternoon! He had definetely overslept. "Hello?" Ethan said sleepily.

"Hey buddy, you still asleep?" Simon asked.

"Obviously not you dumb fuck."

"Hey, you're the dumb one!" Simon chuckled back before continuing. "Anyways, Harry's coming back from Guernsey today and JJ's coming back from LA. So we thought we should have a party, you know the Sidemen, the two Cals, oh, and Weller's coming too."

"Yeah, sick, I'll be there."

"Kay, see you there buddy, and ummm, Josh found the Dr.Pepper cans in my room so he may or may not lecture you to death about stealing. Kinda had to go through it this morning."

"Heh, we'll see."

"Lol, a'ight see ya."

"See ya."

A party, Ethan hadn't been to one in a long time, this was gonna be fun.
