__________________________________________

It was a nice afternoon. Jake is twiddling his thumbs as he is sitting on the couch next to his boyfriend Carrington. Meanwhile Johnnie is playing video games inside his room. Jake looked at Carrington, "I'm nervous to tell Johnnie that we're dating.."

Carrington looked over at Jake, giving him a reassuring smile.

"Hey, it'll be fine, Jake."
He said softly, gently placing his hand on his thigh and rubbing his thumb against it soothingly."He'll be happy for us, you know that."

Jake takes a deep breath. "Can you go get him so we can talk to him? Let him know...? I'm just nervous it isn't going to go well.."

"Of course, baby."
Carrington gently squeezed his thigh before getting up. He placed a quick kiss to his forehead before heading upstairs to Johnnie's room. He knocked on the door before slowly opening it.

Johnnie heard his door open. He paused his videogame and takes his headset off. "Yo? What's up?" He asked.

"Hey, bud."
Carrington stepped into the room, a small smile on his face."Me and Jake need to talk to you about something real quick."

"Oh? Okay" Johnnie gets out of his gaming chair and walked with Carrington downstairs. Jake is bouncing his leg while sitting on the couch.

Johnnie sat down on the couch next to Jake, looking at the both of them curiously.
"What's going on? Why do you look so nervous?"He asked as he glanced at Jake, noticing the bouncing of his leg.

Jake said, "Me nervous?- Nahh," he swayed his hand and made the "pffff" sound.

Johnnie chuckled, rolling his eyes at Jake's obvious nervousness."Uh huh, sure."
He said sarcastically, crossing his arms and giving him a look that said, "cut the crap".

Jake watches as Carrington sits next to him. He looked down, avoiding eye contact with both of them.

Carrington put a comforting hand on his thigh, squeezing it lightly. He could tell he was really nervous, and wanted to do anything to calm him down.

Johnnie noticed the gesture and looked between the two of them."So... are you gonna tell me what's going on, or...?"

"Carrington? Ba- um, you do the honors," Jake cleared his throat since 'babe' almost slipped out.

Carrington chuckled softly at his almost slip up, a small smirk tugging at the corners of his lips. He squeezed his thigh once more before turning to look at Johnnie.

"Okay, so... me and Jake are dating."
He said simply, looking over at Johnnie to see his reaction.

Johnnie was silent for a moment, his eyes wide as he stared at the two of them. His expression was unreadable for a few seconds, before a huge grin spread across his face."no way! That's awesome!"

Jake blushed as he is fidgeting with his spiked bracelet. "Yeah.. i started to have a crush on Carrington um about a few months ago.. we started dating just a little bit after the 'evil party' we threw.."

Johnnie's grin widened, and he lightly punched Jake's shoulder."Damn, man! Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"I DON'T KNOW??!! I GOT SCARED!" Jake covered his face, snickering in embarrassment.
