Adrian's POV
I can't believe we're actually about to do this.
The 8 of us are seriously about to share one order of calamari.
8 grown, not just grown, massive football players are about to share one order of calamari. Is everyone a cheapskate? Derek is paying for the meal, they should be going crazy, and one order of calamari is not enough for everyone. We should have at least 4. I am very frustrated by this and I will ask for another order for just me and Derek to share.
Me and Derek are also about to come out to everyone. I am so excited and scared at the same time. I am sure people will be happy for us, it would be insane if they aren't, but it's still so crazy. Our best friends are about to know that I'm in a relationship with Derek and how in love we are.
"Hey, you doing okay?" Derek asks me.
"Yeah. When should we tell everyone?" I whisper, not trying to draw unnecessary attention.
"Whenever makes sense."
I guess that's an answer. I don't really know what a good time would really be, because everyone is gonna be talking all dinner long. It's not the best to just interrupt everyone from eating to say something that will take like 2 minutes.
Out of nowhere, Derek's hand finds my thigh and he lightly squeezes it while still staying engaged in the conversation and again not making a big deal out of it. As far as anyone can tell, nothing happened. My hand falls on top of his hand and I look at him and he smiles a tiny bit. I am seriously so obsessed.
The affection he shows me on a daily basis is infinitely more than I ever got before getting with him. I really just pray that this relationship will continue to sail smoothly, and we won't have any drama.
We get our food pretty quickly, and we dig in. The room slowly begins getting warmer as the inevitable moment of me and Derek coming out approaches. Derek notices this and rubs my thigh a little bit. I find it endearing that he really likes my thighs. I don't specifically focus on that area when I'm working out, but I guess he really likes them.
A little more time passes, and Derek taps my leg with his leg and I look up at him. He nods at me before clearing his throat, quickly getting everyone to stop talking.
"Uh, I have something to say," he announces.
"You're not transferring, right?" DeShaun asks.
"No, of course not."
"Oh, ok. Cool."
"Yeah, well anyways, this is kind of important so can everyone listen?" he asks.
"Yeah, but I have to go to the bathroom," Cam says.
Aaron kinda slaps his boyfriend to try to get him to pay attention and Cameron very quietly apologizes and kisses him on the cheek before they both return their attention to Derek.
"Okay, well, I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but there is someone in my life that I am quickly falling for," he starts.
"What's her name?" Jax asks.
"That's the thing, it's um, it's a guy," he admits, visibly embarrassed.
"You're gay?" Jax asks.
"Yeah."
"No way."
"I am though."
"I don't believe it."
"Well I am."
"Are you bi? Or 100% gay?"
"As far as I'm concerned I'm definitely gay," Derek once again restates.
