Tobias POV

My head was spinning in repetitive circles.

How had Vaughn fucked a girl? I thought he was gay? I thought he had liked me?

It made no sense. Had he not liked me back then? But he had had the same mannerisms as Al. Or had Al not liked me as much as I had thought?

The questioning flew around my brain - repeating as Vaughn continued to speak with Al until I accidentally blurted out - "Aren't you gay?"

Although, I had immediately regretted the words as they left my mouth as Al looked at me shocked, and Vaughn let a short, confused look wash over his face before quickly returning to his stoic one.

That was until he began to laugh. I couldn't tell if he was mocking my stupid and very sudden questioning, or he was laughing at how I had come to such a conclusion - or if he was even downright mocking me. I turned to Al in hopes of some guidance on what to do, however he only stood there, seemingly even more confused by the random fit of laughter Vaughn had burst into.

We stood there - both seemingly extremely confused until Vaughn finally stopped laughing, although still seeming extremely amused, and stated "I'm not" He chuckled slightly, "But I also don't care who I sleep with. It could be a man or a woman."

He didn't care?

At that information, it felt like my entire world had flipped. Had things not been the way I thought they had been back then? Had he never even seen me as more than a friend and I got ahead of myself back then?

Had I cut him out for no reason?

With that final thought, I subconsciously decided I couldn't go without knowing and further blurted out - "But I thought you liked me back then?"
