in which, duke stops denying his feelings for his fellow AMP member.
based on the song, come over by the internet.
surprise....I'm back!
since it's winter break, i'm going to try and update at least 2-3 times before the break is over! i hope y'all enjoy 🫶🏾.
duke for a long time questioned his sexuality. he questioned ever since he hooked up with the same counterpart when he was 18, that was the only time as alcohol played a part in it. he knew he spoke about this one time, he would get shunned and disowned by his friends and family.
so for years, he stayed silent. that was the best and only option for him.
he felt angry because of it, regretting that he experienced that moment at all. it made him feel very vulnerable at the time in a place where he wasn't doing well. anger was on his mind everyday.
after he left the army, his anger slowed down as he found interest of being able to make gaming content for YouTube. the grind for making content was slow but the process got successful when he got contacted with agent. agent was an content creator just like him, creating videos in the 2K community. they partnered up multiple times, even got their videos on big social media platforms.
a few months went by with their friendship before agent brought up an idea that he thought duke was interested in. agent explained to him about a content creating group called AMP. he already had a few people already on board and even an editor, he seen the bigger picture for it in the next five years. duke at first was hesitant, but eventually agreed after two months of thinking and still making content on his youtube.
two years later, their the biggest content creating group around social media. duke was happy and satisfied but he was missing something in his void. he still felt alone.
and it didn't even make it better when he realized he had a crush towards the former college student, kai.
kai was brought in when fanum saw his ding dong ditch videos he was doing in college. he was struggling college student at that point, only staying in school so he doesn't disappoint his mother. he was trying to find a way to get out of school without his mom noticing. he wasn't a school person, he felt like it was a waste of money and time. he didn't want to upset his mother, but once he got that call from fanum, hearing everything was coming into play, he wanted to be apart of it.
when they first met each other, duke felt his heart drop when he got to see him. short, skinny, pretty teeth, trimmed beard, and fairly shy. he saw that he wasn't a talkative person to certain people besides the people he know.
but when they had their first conversation, they just clicked instantly.
ever since then, they could say their the closest to each other outta everyone in the group–kai being close to fanum following right behind them. they both enjoyed their company, especially duke. he never had a friend like kai that is a polar opposite to him but also appreciates common interests.
and that was the beginning on 2 year crush that made duke angered and embarrassed to have. it took him back when he was 18 questioning himself if he likes boys or he's bisexual. he hated it so much because he was over that chapter. he just wanted let go but his brain says otherwise.
"duke! we need you," fanum stepped in his room to duke repeatedly shaking his leg to staring to oblivion.
"duke?" duke heard his name to fanum standing in front of him, the shorter had a concerning facial expression.
"we shooting again?"
"yeah..." he replied, "what's up with you? you been acting weird for the last past week."
