Catch Me When I Fall [BxB]

Tipsy

Tyrone sighs.

"You're right, Killian." He sits down again, defeated. "I don't want to scare him. Both outcomes would."

I try not to sigh with relief.

"Fuck this, I'm getting something to drink." Tyrone says, getting to his feet again.

I take hold of his arm quickly.

"Tyrone, just... be careful." I say. 

Tyrone nods and wanders off.

I know his intentions to hurt Zevon have subsided now, but I'm unsure it will stay that way if he becomes intoxicated.

***Khai's POV***

"He's totally into you!" Tucker encourages me, nudging my arm.

The two of us have been having a great time, gossiping and giggling about our romantic interests.

"I don't know... it's hard to tell sometimes and I'm not usually one to assume but I really don't imagine he's gay." I say.

Tucker chuckles.

"Nah, I think you have some re-evaluating to do."

"Tuckerrrr..." I complain. "You're going to get my hopes up."

I really shouldn't blame him seeing I do that to myself anyways and I can't help it.

"How did you and Killian get together? Like I know you two met when he saved your life but like... when did you two realize you had feelings for each other, like how did you start dating?" I ask.

"Killian grew up with gay parents. I'm pretty sure he saw right through me from day one. No, I know he did. He's very empathetic and people's feelings come easy to him. He knew I wasn't straight already when he rescued me, and as he nursed me back to health I just... really fell for him. He was just so compassionate and caring and usually people like him take advantage of people like me, so when he didn't, I was very smitten. He picked up on it just like that. Of course, I didn't know anything. I was oblivious until one day, when I was starting to feel better, he kissed me. We've been together ever since."

"Awwwe that's so sweet." I say sincerely, even though I'm low-key jealous of him.

Tucker smiles, but his attention drifts somewhat, and soon I discover why.

Killian approaches us and stops beside him.

"Awe, are you talking about me?" He asks like he already knows. He places an arm around Tucker and kisses the top of his head.

I can't help but imagine that being Tyrone and I, and I smile subconsciously.

"Speaking of Tyrone, Khai." Killian starts, and his expression seems a little concerned.

"How did you know I was thinking about Tyrone?" I ask, realizing Tucker really wasn't lying about Killian being able to read people easy.

"The expressions, Khai." Killian says, smiling at me.

Who am I kidding, even Tyrone can read those. I'm always making faces.

"Oh... umm... what about Tyrone?" I ask, feeling a little worried.

Killian takes a deep breath.

"He was pretty upset. Zevon is here and he was about to get violent."

I gasp audibly.

"Don't worry, I talked him out of it and he was okay when he left me, but he went to get drinks. He's struggling a lot internally, more than he lets on."
