Chapter Four: Out of Control
~~~
The whole rest of the day went so agonizingly slow. DJ was, to put it shortly, fucked beyond belief. He just kissed his best friend on the lips, and he was straight. DJ had no clue what to do, he tried to think of a lie, 'I slipped.' Even he wouldn't even believe that. 'I was just curious.' Still not cutting it. DJ paced to his last class of the day, English, which he wasn't bad at, but it wasn't great. DJ had an epiphany. 'Percy will know what to do!' DJ though to himself before he walked off.
"Percy, I am soo fucked, I orally screwed up and I might have just ruined the best friendship i've ever had!" DJ had whispered loudly to Percy, frightening him a great deal, as DJ never really freaked out when he was in serious trouble.
"Dude, slow down, what's wrong?" Percy said, putting a hand to DJ's shoulder.
"Percy, I kissed him." DJ said, whispering to Percy.
Percy looked confused and broke the sentence down in his mind. 'Percy.' Me, 'I' DJ, 'Kissed' Kissed, "Him" a boy. "Him?" Percy waited longer then it hit him. "Him?" Percy questioned. DJ shook his head like he was having a seizure, Percy punched DJ in the stomach. DJ doubled over. Percy shouted.
"Ma'am DJ is about to throw up." Percy said as DJ clutched his stomach.
"Go! Go! To the bathroom!" The teacher said, hearing the magic words 'throw up'. People thing the magic words are please, well screw 'please', the former worked a lot better. Percy escorted DJ to the bathroom, turned around and locked the door behind him.
"DJ, who did you kiss!?" Percy said putting his arms to DJ's shoulders. DJ tried to slow his breathing, but the punch to his gut didn't help.
"Leo!" DJ said, on the verge of a mental breakdown.
"Leo… Leo Valdez!? Little mexican kid?" Percy said, in a hushed tone.
"Percy, I kissed Leo, my best friend, the kid who was always there for me!" DJ said, tears beginning to wet his eyes.
"Why would you do that? Since when are you even gay?" Percy said.
"I don't know, I just really thought he liked me, he was always nice to me, and he's has never done a single thing wrong with me." DJ said, blurting out every little detail between his and Leo's relationship.
"How did it even happen?" Percy asked again.
"Leo was taking pictures for the yearbook, and he saw me in the gym, and then I got distracted by during the game and Clarisse beamed me in the face, so he took me to the nurse, and then, I got blood on his lip, so he went in to wipe it off," DJ stopped and began actually crying, "and I don't know, I just kissed him, but then he pushed me away and said he never wanted to talk to me again!" Leo said, tears now freely flowing from his eyes.
"I have no idea what you were thinking DJ, but judging from his reaction, I don't think he was ready for that kiss." Percy started. "DJ, you have to go talk to him, I don't know what he is, but you really have to straighten this out with him." Percy said looking into his arms.
"Why am I so stupid?" DJ asked Percy, his crying slowing down and his breath starting to regulate, and slow.
"Love makes us do stupid things." Percy said, pulling DJ into a small hug. "If you need to talk about it, just say so." Percy said.

DJ walked into detention, Leo was already sitting there, looking deeply at his work, presumably blocking out any thoughts he was having about the kiss.
"Leo, i'm-" DJ began.
"Not now, Mr. Pierce, this is detention, not a social hour. You may do nothing but work here." Mr. Chiron spoke, pointing to seat. "You may talk to him at three p.m.." he said. DJ sat down, but he couldn't settle down, he needed to talk to Leo. He had to figure things out.
An hour went by agonizingly slow, but the second the bell signaling detention to be over, Leo got up and left, DJ immediately followed.
"Leo, please just wait, you need to know that it was a simple mistake, I didn't mean it." DJ pleaded.
"No, DJ, you did mean it, hell you really meant it, you and all your friends want to fuck with me." Leo said, his voice getting progressively quieter. "Hell, I don't even care that your gay, I just wasn't expecting it. That kiss was full of things that I think I might have for you." Leo said, looking down towards the marble school floor.
"Full of things you think you have? What do you mean?" DJ inquired.
"Well before that kiss, I thought had such a bad crush on you it hurt, I never thought that you liked me like that, then you kissed me, and now I just don't know what to think anymore." Leo said.
"Maybe your confused." DJ started, but was cut off.
"No! I wasn't confused until you did that! This is your fault Leo! You did this to me! You made me feel this way!" Leo yelled at DJ, DJ shrunk back to the lockers.
"I'm sorry, please, let's just forget about it. It never happened." DJ asked meekly.
"No, DJ, it happened. Just go to hell." Leo said before walking off.
DJ slid down the lockers he had backed up into, slid down into a crouch, and put his head in lap, he was crying hard. 'God I fucked up everything.'
