when giver meets taker

In a totally gay way

Roy had never done this before. He 119% was not the kind of person to ask for help. He hesitated calling an ambulance when he broke his collarbone because he thought he would be burdening them.

But this, this was different. This was Wolt. His crush? husband? wife? soulmate? best friend! He wouldn't let a stupid little misunderstanding ruin their relationship.

Finally, after what seemed like eight hundred eternities, the door opened.

His savior, Lilina, standing there like a knight in glistening silver armor. He ran into her apartment the moment he saw an opening.

"OkaysoyesterdaymeandWoltwerehangingoutandheclimbedonmeandithinkimgaybutidontactuallyknowandyourelikealesbianandstuffsoyoumightbeabletohelpmeand-"

"ROY! For the love of Zephial, slow down! what is wrong with you? have you been taking your meds??" Roy shot a glare in her direction. He took a deep breath, and relaxed his muscles. She crossed her arms and looked at him, waiting for an explanation.

"So, yknow how you're like, a lesbian and stuff?" Roy said, almost too casually. Lilina let out a small laugh. "Yes, i'm aware." Roy twiddled with his fingers as he tried to think of a way to explain the situation.

"So, like, how did you... yknow... know?" He said, avoiding eye contact.

Lilina rolled her eyes. "Roy, what in the name of OH MY GOD ARE YOU GAY??" Her tone quickly transitioned from annoyed to a little too enthusiastic. Lilina's face was decorated with a wide smile and glistening eyes.

"Well- i mean- that's why- you- how did- i don't know!!" Roy sputtered, his face overly flushed.

Lilina took a deep breath and sat next to him, still smiling. "Okay, let me slow down. What do you feel like right now?"

"Gay"

"Well, besides that."

"Ashamed."

"ding ding ding! lets talk about that. Why do you feel ashamed?" Lilina said, trying to be gentle. Roy sighed and looked up, propping his arms behind his back.

"Okay, so last night, me and Wolt were-"

"Wolt and I."

"..What?"

Lilina looked at him seriously. "You said 'me and Wolt.' it's 'Wolt and I.'"

"Lina why does that matter right now?"

She inhaled. "You're right, keep going."

"So last night, Wolt and I were hanging out like we usually do, right?" Lilina nods. "And i guess, apparently I had something on my face? because he climbed over to me, no, on top of me, and he like, gazed into my eyes in a totally gay way, but then he just wiped something off my face and went back to being normal?"

Lilina put her finger on her chin, as if she were thinking about the situation like a math problem.

"So... do you like Wolt?"

"I don't know!" Roy shouted. "That's why I came to you! You're gay and stuff, you should know right?" Roy huffed and folded his arms.

Lilina looked at him again. "Well, how do you feel around him normally?"

Roy looked back at her. "I've never had gay thoughts about him before! normally when i'm around him, i'm just generally happy! He's a pretty touchy guy, but i don't mind! I mean sure, we sleep in the same bed, and we hold hands in crowds, and we talk for hours sometimes, but nothing like this!"

Lilina winced. "Roy, I hate to break it to you, but all of those things are pretty gay."

Roy looked shocked. "What? How? I see girls do that stuff with their friends all the time! are they all gay?"

"Yeah, but they'll never admit it. Look, Roy, I say you should talk to him about this. The more you avoid him, the more these feelings will build up inside of you and eat your brain away. I'm sure he wants to talk about it too."

Roy sighed, and layed on his back. Lilina pulled out her phone, and started typing.

"What are you doing?" Roy questioned, furrowing his brows. "I'm texting Wolt for you." She replied casually.

"What?? No way, give me that!" Roy shot up and reached for Lilina's phone, but she pulled it away before he could grab it. He grabbed her arm and pulled the phone down to him, but he ended up accidentally sending the message.

"oh god."

—-

Needless to say, it was definitely the weirdest text Wolt had ever received.

His phone vibrated in his pocket in the middle of class, which he usually wouldn't really care about. But Roy wasn't in class, and he was in his last period, so Wolt couldn't help but wonder if it had something to do with his sudden disappearance.

When the teacher wasn't looking, Wolt discreetly checked his phone. To his surprise, it was a message from Lilina, who rarely ever texted him. He clicked on the notification, and the message showed up.

"Roy likeaaaaadds tou iiii"

Okay, so now Wolt definitely was worried.

Lilina was possibly the dryest texter on planet earth. She prides herself on being punctual. One time Wolt said 'ur' instead of 'you're' and he heard about it for days.

So not only was this text extremely out of character for Lilina, it was also pretty out of character for anyone.

What on gods earth did that mean? the only distinguishable word was "Roy", and possibly "likes", but even that was kind of a stretch.

He spent the rest of the class period worried, thinking about the message and trying to decipher what in gods name it meant. Once the bell rang, Wolt walked into the hallway, still lost in thought. He walked for a couple seconds, before running into something. or someone.

"Wolt!! Heyyy, buddy! How's it going? How was class? Looks like you look good. I mean the class went good. You went good. You look like the class went well. Or good, or whatever. Hey can i see your phone?"

While Wolt was still processing the very confusing string of words Roy had just vomited, Roy snatched Wolt's phone from his hand and unlocked it, to find it already on Lilina's message. He quickly deleted it, and gave Wolt his phone back.

"Sorry, aha! just had to check the weather. Supposed to be hot, i should go put my jacket away. see you later!" Before Wolt could remind Roy that it was the middle of December, He speed walked away awkwardly, leaving Wolt confused and almost concerned.

He checked his phone, and to his dismay, the message was gone. His eyes widened, and he frantically started swiping through his messages with Lilina to find it. What happened to it?? it was definitely real, he knew for sure he saw it. the only other person that had seen his phone was R-

...Oh.
