3. Need to stay in the now.

Ray Pov:

"Quinn, tell me... who is Natalia? Everyone seems to talk about her but who is she?" I finally asked walking towards the bed where Quinn was siting. He had the same nervous look as in the car before. "Thats... uh-", suddenly I trip over something when I tryed to step closer to Quinn. The next thing I saw was Quinns face, he's close and looked a bit surprised as well. When I checked what happened right now I notices myself almost on top of Quinn. He was still siting and held me under my arms while my hands where on his sides and-

Thats so embaressing...!!

My blood rose to my cheeks from embaressement. My friend was also surprised. "Well... Natalia... thats me." Quinn looked so unbothered about the position we are in its almost impressive. "What you mean... thats you? Isnt Natalia a girls name?" "No shit sherlock. I'm a trans guy and Natalia is my deadname. Dont ever use it, okay?"

I dont really understand what he was talking about. Tessa told me about that trans thing. It was when a person gets born into the wrong gender... means Quinn was a guy... with a female body. Interesting...

Quickly I roll away from on top of Quinn and now sit next to him on the bed. I looked around and specificly searched for the object that caused me to fall. The floor was clean and not many things were laying on it. I spot a skateboard near to where I triped. So thats why I feel. Carefully I deside to take it from the floor. My friend looked at me as I took the board. It was quiet heavy, I didnt expected it to be. "You skate?", I turn to the blond boy next to me after looking at the board for a bit. Q: "Yeah."
R: "Are you good at it?"
Q: "I dont know. I would say I know the basics. I can teach you someday if you want."

Learning how to skate...? I never thought about it. "Maybe..."

Quinn stood up from the bed. "How about we do what we actually came here for?", he asked. We originally just meet at his place to learn and do our homework together and so we did.

Some days later on the weekend I, Tessa, Nicole and Quinn meet in my and Tessas house, like almost every weekend, but today it was just us 4, Tessa normally invited more people to Such sleepovers.

We were currently just chilling in the livingroom. Nicole was in the kitchen because she was forced by Tess to make popcorn for watching 'mean girls' for the 69th time, Tessa was fileing her nails while loudly gossiping to Nicole, Quinn was siting next to me on the couch playing a game on his phone and I was just siting with him kinda just watching him play that strange game.

After some time Nicole came back with a bowl of popcorn. "I guess we can start!", Nicole yelled as she came back in. "Do we really need to watch mean girls again? We watched it last weekend, and the weekend befor.", I complained. "Of course, silly. Its the masterpiece of 2004." Tessa always said the same if I was complaining about the movie "Why always the 2004 version? Why not 'mean girls 2'? Or the 2024 version? Or how about watching the musical? No! The 2004 version!" Quinn was complaining just as much as me but Tessa didnt care so we watched that movie.

Just half way in and Nicole got already distracted by her phone. But I continued watching, or at least I stared at the TV thinking about other stuff then mean girls. I got taken back to reality with something hiting my left side. It was Quinn. He has fallen asleep and is now leaning agains me having his head on my shoulder. His hair softly tickled agains my cheek and a pleasant warmth was coming from him as always. The sleeping Quinn looked so peaceful and cute-...Wait?! Why am I thinking about how he looks cute while sleeping?

Nevertheless... I didnt want to wake him so I just went with it and closed my eyes as well. A comfortable feeling overcomes me until I feel myself geting tired. I kinda start imagineing how Quinn could be Norman... and just like that everything about this Situation got kinda sad. I thought about him again... but I wanted to forget... I need to... I need to focus on what is happening now... the person next to me wasnt Norman... its was Quinn...

And with that thought I feel asleep.

I had an dreamless but nice sleep. Slowly my eyes open as a ray of sunlight softly caresses me awake. Its already bright outside and I could tell that I'm still in the livingroom. I wanted to turn my head to look if Nicole, Tessa or Quinn were still there as I realized on what I was laying. I was laying with my head on a persons chest, judged by the clothes it was Quinn but he looked different from what I know. He had taken of his glasses and opened his hair for sleeping. I've never seen him with open hair or without glasses. But where are Tessa and Nicole?

I lifted my head from Quinns chest and looked around befor suddenly Tessa walked into the livingroom to probably check on Quinn and me after leaving us both alone last night. "Oh? Ray? Youre awake?", she asked but quickly shush her to not wake up Quinn. Tess completly ignored my gesture and even did the complet opposite of shuting up. "QUINN!! WAKE UP YOU LAZY CHICK!!"

Quinn stirs in his sleep slowly. "W-hat..t fuck... ugh... Al-ex... Leave..."

"See... He doesnt wake up for shit." Tessa presented confidently like Quinn was some unwakeable Science project.

T: "Are you and Quinn now gay with eachother or why did you two spend the night cuddling like a couple?"
R: "uh...we just ended up like that."
T: "the pictures have been taken and analysed, you two are gay."
R: "Shut up, Tess."
T: "Whatever, stand up, f4g."
