Hacked | Jaspar

••••CASPARS POV•••

Joe walked into my room, yet again, but I still wasn't in the mood to talk to him. Why would should I be considering he doesn't trust me? But just once, maybe I should give him a break. I told him I didn't like him, and he seemed a bit upset. I have no idea why, he doesn't like me like that. That shouldn't offend him.

But it did.

When he came into my room the second time, he told me to be honest with him. Easier said than done. Then he told me to explain everything to him.

My response? "Take a guess Joe. What do you think happened? Here's a hint: I had no control over it."

I should have stopped myself before saying something that rude to Joe. This is why everyone hates me, including him. He would never like me back.

Joe leaned over to me, and I thought he was going to punch me or something at first, but what he did shocked me even more. He cupped my face and looked at me, and I waited for him to start speaking, but instead, his lips pressed against mine and he kissed me. And not a playful kiss like in videos, but an actual on-the-lips make out kiss. I've been waiting for this much too long, so I decided to go with it. I kissed him back before overthinking what was happening, which I unfortunately had a tendency of doing.

This is my roommate and best friend, the person I tried so hard not to like, but it wasn't worth it. So what if I liked him? But why was he kissing me? I needed to ask... So I pulled away from what I could have kept going forever.

Before I even opened my mouth he started rambling again. Except it was what I wanted to hear. He said he liked me like more than friends. In a way that made my heart skip a beat and my mouth crack a smile. He said everything I have wanted to say to him for a little over a year, and it was amazing. I felt as if the whole world was lifted off my shoulders.

I heard every word he said, especially the part where he admitted he had feelings for me. That was the best part. Even though he still believed it was me who sent it, I could tell he really did trust me, and that he would believe me when I told him. That makes things so much easier for me, but first I had to ask what was on my mind while we kissed.

I could tell my checks were the color of a tomato as I asked, "Why did you kiss me?"

The response was perfection. He said that he wanted to make sure we had something special and he had to confirm that he liked me and I liked him.

He asked me by the way, he asked me if I liked him. I can't lie now! Look how far we had come!

"Joe... Of course I like you back! I always have! I lied before when I said I didn't and never will. I'm so sorry Joe. You didn't deserve that."

I explained everything. From the point where my computer had been hacked to the point where I got upset and angry that he wasn't trusting me, to the point where I hadn't figured out who had done it.

"You need to help me Joe. I can't do this all by myself. I need to know who hacked my account, because they will do it again if we don't stop it!"

Joe remained looking at me with his jaw dropped and his eyes wide. I could tell he was still processing everything I told him. Then his serious face transformed into a smile. A real, genuine smile.

"Yeah, we better figure out. I'm sorry Caspy. Let's promise never to fight again. "

"Agreed. But one more thing..." And I leaned into him, and like the first time, kissed him on the lips for about three seconds. Except I didn't pull away.

He did.

"What does this make us?" He said, blushing and looking at the floor, rubbing his foot against the hardwood.

"Anything you want us to be." I said, secretly hoping that he would respond something more than friends.

"Caspar Lee, will you be my boyfriend?"

"Of course I will Joe!" I replied with no hesitation or thought.

"Thank you." Was all he said before we began kissing again.

And luckily, neither of us pulled away.
