Finding Himself | Kam Fanfiction

Chapter 7

Fitz gently shut the storage closet door as he entered behind Dex.
Dex fiddled with his hands and he bit his lower lip.

"Uh...so what do you want to do?" Dex asked, looking up at Fitz.
Fitz shrugged.
"I would suggest kissing but...you're uncomfortable with that and I'd rather not make you uncomfortable." Fitz said, his cheeks warming up as he averted eye contact with Dex.
Dex did not expect Fitz to be so...honest and open.
"Jesus, Fitz-" Dex's voice cracked as he hid his face in his hands while his face and ears turned bright red.
"You're embarrassing mee!"
Fitz couldn't help but laugh and he gently took Dex's hands away from his face and held them in his hands. He interlocked his fingers with Dex's and Dex stared at their hands before he interlocked his fingers with Fitz's too.

"We could talk about us." Fitz suggested, squeezing Dex's hands.
"I mean...it is sort of obvious we like each other, isn't it?"
Dex bit his lower lip as he looked at Fitz and smiled.
"How long have you liked me?" Dex asked.
"When I began to see you more around Everglen, I think." Fitz said.
"You were always with Biana and I think I used to think that I hated having you in my home but it was actually jealousy because Biana was spending all this time with you."
Dex had to bite back a laugh but he let out a giggle.

"What about you?" Fitz asked, raising his eyebrows at Dex.
"Uhm..." Dex couldn't stop smiling.
"Maybe it started when I first started hanging out with Biana and...the only reason why I kept coming over like basically all the time was because I wanted to see you...and sometimes it worked especially since someone likes to walk around the halls shirtless."
Dex looked at Fitz up and down and Fitz bit his inner cheek.
"It's my house!" Fitz exclaimed.

"You were doing it on purpose as well though, weren't you?" Dex grinned.
"I remember one time you came in and asked Biana were your shirt was and you were shirtless. She was clearly pissed off because you interrupted our time together to try and make me fall for you."
Fitz stayed quiet.
"...It worked though, didn't it?" Fitz questioned.
Dex sighed, shaking his head.
"Maybe a little." Dex responded.
The two of them couldn't help but laugh.

"Man, okay...next weekend, we're gonna go out on a proper date." Fitz said, squeezing Dex's hands.
"How does that sound?"
Dex sighed softly and smiled at Fitz.
"I look forward to what you'll have planned for us." Dex said.
"Great." Fitz smiled at Dex.

Fitz and Dex just spent their time talking about them and their feelings for one another, how they began, what really caught their attention of the other and stuff like that. It was sort of what they needed to do, and this silly game provided them that chance.

Eventually, someone knocked on the door and Fitz and Dex took one of their hands away from the other while still holding hands with only one of their hands.
Fitz opened the door and he looked to see Keefe there.
Keefe glanced at the two of them.

"Woah, are you dating?" Keefe asked as Dex followed Fitz out of the closet.
"Not yet." Dex smiled at Keefe.
"We just talked about our feelings." Fitz said, shrugging at Keefe.
"Mmh, I can feel a ton of positive emotions from you both~" Keefe grinned as he made his way to Sophie's bedroom.
"Ugh, shut up." Fitz rolled his eyes, but had a smile on his face as he and Dex followed behind Keefe into the room.

"Ooh~ Fitzy and Dexy are holding hands~!" Biana exclaimed as the three boys made their way back to where they sat before.
"Are you guys our first official gay couple in the group?" Tam asked.
"Gosh, guys we just talked. We're not dating yet." Dex said, his cheeks quite red.
Fitz sighed softly and he smiled as he rested his head on Dex's shoulder.
"We're going on a date next weekend, I need to start planning it." Fitz said.
"Cute! We're happy for you guys!" Linh smiled at Fitz and Dex.
"Thanks-" Dex began.
