Clay POV.

George and Wilbur had both fallen asleep on the couch in my hotel room. The smaller brunette was passed out in my arms with his head on my chest, and Wilbur was lounging out over one half of the couch. Both of them had fallen asleep during our movie marathon, withWilbur having called his work earlier to tell them he was feeling sick.

In order to not wake either of them up I turned off the movie. In order to entertain myself since I was not feeling tired, I turned on my phone and went to scroll on Twitter, looking at what was going on in the world. There were a couple posts from Karl and the other people working on the same show about some onstage drama, and that was all I was really interested in.

But underneath all of those messages I saw some posts tagging myself and George. I clicked on them out of curiosity before my eyes widened. It was a picture of the outside of George’s house, with me and him sitting on the steps out front with Wilbur.

The caption said ‘OMG George lives near my house and he’s here with Clay and some other guy! They are so flipping cute!’ along with a heart emoji. I rolled my eyes at the sight before scrolling down to the comments, which were full of other people all fangirling over us, while also making some speculations about all of us.

One user was suggesting that Wilbur might be George’s older brother, since they have a somewhat similar skin tone (because of the terrible lighting for the photo) and they’re both brunettes. Lots of people were agreeing, all saying that the pair did look like they could be siblings.

On the other hand, there was another group saying that the relationship between Wilbur and George was much more… intimate. Some of these people had apparently also seen the post where Wilbur and George were seen at the mall together, and where it had been hypothesised that they were cheating on me.

‘Maybe they are Polyamorous!’ A comment suggested, causing a huge discussion to circle through everyone as well, and I huffed. My eyes drifted over to the sleeping brunette on the other end of the couch, momentarily considering what it would be like, before immediately turning away.

It was a strange thought, but nothing would ever come from it. I wasn’t attracted to Wilbur, and neither was George. Although Wilbur, on the other hand, had joked about it once or twice, I don’t believe he was attracted to either of us either.

But I wasn’t in the mood to reply and explain the situation, so I just continued reading more posts about the situation. Mainly some desperate and disgusting people begging for the woman who posted to release the address. Reading this made my face pale as I worried. Knowing that George’s life would be practically over.

There are all sorts of people out there who would want to go to his house to do anything or everything they desired of him. I’ve seen cases of this happening and I knew that it would most definitely happen. So I had to think of what I could do to keep him safe.

My hands got tangled in his hair as I set the phone down, playing with it to calm myself. Eventually I began brushing it, planning on plaiting some cute braids in his hair as a form of distressing. It really did help calm me down, and relatively soon after I had started panicking about George’s safety I had almost calmed down… almost.

Even though I was distracted with what I was doing, I was still terrifyingly worried that something would happen to him, of course, but my breathing had evened out and I was thinking more rationally. Several ideas floated through my head, but then I had an idea which was even better than all my other ideas.

George could move to Florida with me. Yes, it was perfect. After all, George had lost his job (an unfortunate and unfair thing), he was on rough terms with his family (it seems they’ve all grown apart), and his house had been broken into (and he was upset at himself for disappointing me). I hated to say it, but it seemed that he had nothing left.

Well, nothing besides Wilbur. George and Wilbur were best friends. In fact, Wilbur was George’s only friend. I didn’t want to be the one to tear two best friends apart, it’s terrible. But Wilbur was the kind of person who would encourage George to leave so he could go and be with his true love and experience the world.

“Clay what are you doing?” The brunette laying on me asked quietly, swatting away my hand as he did. I chuckled before ignoring him and going back to playing with his hair again, causing him to squirm and laugh childishly.
“Be quiet, gorgeous,” I teased. “We don’t want to wake up Wilbur.”

“You are the worst.” He huffed, before melting into my touches. I hummed in satisfaction as he did that before pressing a kiss to the side of his face. The two of us embraced each other for ages in silence, not wanting to disturb Wilbur while he napped. It was sweet, but eventually I brought up what I had wanted to discuss.

“So George, I had an idea.” I said softly, resting my check on the soft hair on his head. There was only a hum in response to show he was listening, which I was fine with, so I continued. “I know that the past few weeks have been difficult for you, but I have an idea.”
“Well what’s your idea?” He asked, tilting his head curiously.

For a moment I hesitated, wondering if this was really the next thing I was going to be asking George. In a matter of a few short seconds I had internal conflicts on whether George would want this or not. Would he like Florida if he moved? Would he want to live in Florida? Would he like my friends and family?

Eventually I decided to hide all my questions and so I quickly stammered out the question. “Do you want to come back to Florida with me?”
