I miss you, I'm sorry

Part 10

Aj trudges downstairs the next morning, forgotten yet familiar limp in his walk. He'd cried again when he woke up, then in the shower, before looking at himself in the mirror deciding he'd use this to his advantage. He could still hate Niko, and fuck him right? It wasnt like he could go out and meet anyone new, nor could he let the world know his secret, so Niko it was. Even better if Niko never wanted to fuck again. Until then he would hate him from a distance, like hed been doing over the past few years

Aj limps into the kitchen where everyone is sat talking, he rolls his eyes at Niko, hiding his anxious gulp as he turns around. He grabs a glass of water, before walking towards the others.

"Aje you ok?" Kenny asks

"huh- what? why wouldnt i be?"

"Youre limping like crazy and we heard a thud from your room last night," Kenny continues.

Aj was somewhat grateful everyone had turned to look at him, otherwise they wouldve noticed the growing smirk on Nikos face. However, his own face reddend slightly, drawing more suspicion.

"I told you he was into men, but no one listened," Niko mutters.

"Shut the fuck up." Aj growls, "Nothing happened, my room was dark, I tripped and fell. Simple. Thats it. And stop saying that you fucking cunt."

"All the facts are there," Niko says.

Aj wanted to jump onto Niko, give him a punch or two in the face, but if Niko wanted to play with fire? well, Aj can burn.

"And why are you so intrigued if I am, huh? All this trying to get in my pants? Are you hiding something from us, Nikolas." Aj smirks, biting Niko back. The others laugh at the 'joke', but Niko stares Angrily.

He pauses for a split second. Fuck. The name and He hadn't expected Aj to turn this against him. "I'm just asking a question, Aj. Why do you care so much about a simple question."

"Point. Being. I tripped. Thats it." Aj grits out, walking around to sit beside Sharky, who quickly wraps an arm around his shoulder. Aj smiles up at him, calming down a little.

"I fucking hate him so much." Aj whispers into the air, only Sharky hearing his words.

"I know. Dont worry Aje," Sharky whispers back, rubbing his shoulder gently, before refocusing to the rest of the group. Aj avoided any contact with Niko, whether it be in hate or love form.

"Im hungry," Chunkz says, all the boys agreeing.

"What should we get?" Sharky asks, opening his phone to uber eats.

"Something light we just had breakfast, but its too early for dinner."

"Uhm, how about burgers?" Niko suggests.

"Burgers arent very light you idiot," Aj mutters.

"I dont recall asking for your opinion,"

"Didnt know I needed your permission," Aj bites back. Niko smirks, nodding his head chuckling. Sure he didnt.

"both of you shut up, we're hungry and food wont come with arguements." Chunkz says, rolling his eyes.

Aj kisses his teeth at Niko, turning to look at Sharkys phone. He wasnt very hungry, so wasnt too fussed about the decision of food.

"How about QT's?" Sharky suggests, a new restaurant appearing on the app, "They have burgers, chips, chicken, pancakes, waffles and a whole bunch of stuff."

The boys agree, Sharky handing his phone around so all the boys can put in their orders. Once they're all in Sharky and Aj look through together, scrolling through the menu, everyone else resuming their own conversations, "Im not hungry, so dont add anything for me," Aj says.
