Best Friend's Boy

TWO

"Kato. Wake up."

"Five more minutes." I grumbled, still half asleep. The voice chuckled slightly as I snuggled into the shaking pillow.

"Kato, you're going to be late for school." The voice said again, making my pillow move around again. Wait...

My eyes snapped open, revealing Ash not 3 inches away from my face. I directed my gaze downward to realize my 'pillow' was his muscular arm.

"AHH! WITCHCRAFT! Mmphf-" Ash slapped hand over my mouth, stopping my shriek. He looked slightly amused, and held a single finger over his lips.

"Relax." He chuckled, pointing to a sleeping Dani. "Kato- ...Are you licking my hand?" He asked, looking at me in disbelief. Why he wouldn't move his fucking hand? I don't know. No one should be able to stand my amazing licking defense system.

He slowly moved his hand away, and wiped my spit off of his hands. I took that moment to jump up and run to the bathroom.

What the hell was that? I was cuddling with him? I shook my head, trying to get this straight. Ash was weird. First he hates me, then calls me a fag, then lets me use his as a human pillow. Da fuq?

I straightened up, looking at myself in the mirror. Ughhh, bed head. My phone vibrated inside my pocket. Tugging it out, I received a text from Dani.

From: Dani Girl<3

8:03 AM

Hurry up! You can change into some extra clothes you left here.

I sighed, fixing my hair so it looked as if it was supposed to be messy. After stepping out, I made my way to Dani's bedroom and opened the top drawer of the dresser. I've spent lots of time at Dani's house so I had my own drawer for clothes, for times like these. Taking clean clothes out quickly, I flung off the dirty clothes I had on. I was rushing and forgot to close the door. I turned around to find Ash leaning against the door frame smirking. I flinched when I saw him and turned away blushing.

"H-how long have you been there?" I asked, praying that he hadn't seen me naked. It was only the back of me, but still. His grin grew and he pushed himself off the wall and walked towards the front door. 

"We're leaving if you are coming with us or not!" He called and I heard the smirk in his voice. Motherfucker. 

"I'm coming!" I yelled, running to meet them at Dani's car.

Dani was in the passanger seat of the car, while Ash stood outside, eyebrows raised, fighting back a smile.

"What?" I barked. He knew how to fuck with me.

"Nothing." He faked a cough. "You just came fast." He whispered so Dani couldn't hear. He winked and shoved himself into the car, leaving me to realize the perverted meaning of his words. I blushed redder than a firetruck and heard Ash's muffled laughter from the closed doors of the car.

The ride to school was filled with Dani's talking and Ash looking at me through the rear view mirror. It was very awkward, obviously. I was especially excited when we got to school so I could get away until I realized: Fuck. School.

By the time lunch began I was shaking from my nerves. Would Ash tell people I'm gay? Im not ashamed, but Im afraid of people reacting. I dont want to lose friends, or family, because of my sexuality. But, when I sat down at the table with Dylan and them, and it seemed like no one knew yet. Maybe Ash would keep it to himself? I let out a sigh of relief , turning to say hi to Dylan.

"Hey Kato." He smiled, stuffing his mouth with his sandwich. His light blonde hair was about the length of mine, his blue eyes sparkling.

"Erm- Dylan?  just wondering... But what do you think of gay-"

"Hey Kato! Dylan!" Nick exclaimed, sitting down next to me. He flipped his almost blond hair out of his golden eyes. 

"Hey Nick." Dylan smiled then looked back at me. ''What  were you saying?" 

I shook my head. " Nothing, nothing..." I replied, forcing a smile. I couldn't say anything yet. Too afraid. If I lost Dylan as a friend.. I have no idea what I'd do. He looked confused then turned back to his sandwich.

"So Kato, you seen that girl? Ugh...  Whats her name... Maci I think? She's pretty hot eh?" Nick chuckled, nudging my arm with his elbow.

This happens very often, because I never had a girlfriend. Of course, they always try to set me up with any girl that exists. They didn't know I was gay... Duh... So I really couldn't say anything about it.

"Eh, she's okay. Not my type." I blurted, hoping we would drop the subject.

"What is your type, Kato?" A new voice whispered from behind me, only so I could hear.  I stiffened and mentally mumbled some things.

"Hello Ash." I groaned, not turning to face him. He and Dani came around to sit in front of Dylan, Nick, and I.

"Ello guys!" Dani beamed. "This is my boyfriend Ash." Ash started eating and Nick acted like he didn't hear.

"Hi. I'm Dylan, and this is Kato and Nick." Dylan said very politely, pointing to us when he announced our names. Dylan was always the nicer, mature one. He was my best guy friend over anybody. Nick and I weren't as close as me and Dylan.

I glanced up at Ash and he completely ignored us saying hi. Again. Dylan just looked at me with raised eyebrows. 'What's with him?' he mouthed. I shrugged and looked back at Ash, who was smirking at me. I gave him a confused look and he looked at Dylan and I, raising his eyebrows.

My gaze turned to Dylan, him finishing his food smirked again, oblivious to our 'conversation'. Looking back at Ash, I gave him a 'what' look. He just smirked and turned to Dani, who was laughing with Nick about something that happened in class.

"...And then he just growled and ran out!" Nick and Dani couldn't stop themselves from laughing. The rest of us just looked around at each-other.

"You guys are weird." I smiled, shaking my head. Nick gave me a look of hurt, clutching his chest.

"Weird? Kato Amber Richards! Do not speak to your father that way!" Nick scolded me dramatically.

"Dude, my middle name is Alex.'' I rolled my eyes.

 "What? Alex? Well then who's Amber?" He stoked his chin dramatically. His face lit up, "Dylan Amber Grant!" He shouted, pointing at Dylan.

"Amber is a girl's name Nick. And it's Dylan Michael Grant." Dylan said tiredly, a small smile creeping its way onto his face like Slenderman. 

"Dani" Nick tried.

"Nope. My middle name is Jayne."

Nick grunted frustrated. ''Well then who the fuck is Amber?" He asked. His eyes wandered over our table and stayed on Ash. He gasped. "As-"

"No." Ash barked, annoyance is his tone.

"Hmph." Nick pouted. Everyone, but Ash, laughed.

"So, we should all TOTALLYYYYY hang out after school today!" Dani beamed.

 Dylan, Nick, and I exchanged looks of discontentment. 

"Uh sure... I guess.." Dylan mumbled emotionless. Dani didn't notice and looked anxiously at Ash.

He coughed awkwardly. ''Yeah okay." His eyes locked on me. 

This wasn't going to be fun.
