Best Friend's Boy

THREE

"So, what are we going to do?" Dylan asked as he, Dani, Ash, Nick, and I walked out of school. Sadly, the day had gone by so quickly, and now we had to hang out...With Ash. Thanks for that, Dani.

"We could go to the pool?" I offered.

"Aqua-phobia." Nick coughed, pointing to himself.

"Right. Sorry, forgot." I nodded. Nick had been afraid of water since his childhood. His older brother had 'accidentally' tried to drown him when Nick was like 6. After that he typically stayed away from anything water. He even hated showers.

"Ooh! How about the mall?" Dani squeaked happily, clapping.

Nick, Ash, and I groaned. Dylan just shrugged, not wanting to hurt Dani's feelings.

"We could go to someones house and play games and stuff." Nick suggested. We all agreed. We always end up doing the same thing.

"Who's house?" Dani asked, as we all headed through the parking lot.

"Ugh. Not mine. Luke is home for the week." Nick groaned. Luke is his older brother. Complete butt fuck.

"Can't do mine. Jade and mom are sick." I said, thinking of the cold my mom and sister got the day before.

"Let's go to my place then. My dad's at work all day." Dylan offered. He lived with his dad, who was always at work. Dylan was so grown up because no one was ever around to take care of him.

We all agreed on Dylan's, and rode with him to his house. Nick drove his own car, and Bri and Ash went together.

"URGH. Nick how are you so good at Black Ops?!" I groaned, having lost 7 times in a row.

He puffed out his chest proudly and a smug look crossed his face. "A year without a girlfriend leaves a lot of time on my hands."

"It's not hard to wonder why you rarely have girlfriends." I laughed, he pouted.

"Whatevs Kato. You've never had a girlfriend. Don't make fun of me." He whined.

"I stiffened and swallowed nervously. "Erm- Yeah. Sorry." I blurted.

Nick gave a weird look at my sudden apology. I could see Ash fighting a smirk.

"Yeah that's weird, right? Not having a girl in over 17 years? What's with that Kato?" Ash asked, in mock curiosity.  I glared at him before taking a breath.

I was about to talk before Nick spoke up. "Yeah Dylan, when's the last time you hade a girlfriend?" He asked, setting down his controller. 

Dylan blushed. "I-I've had a girlfriend. Macy Jenkins."

"Dylan that was like 2 years ago." Dani reminded him, looking shocked that he had been single that long. Me too. Nick was loud and obnoxious so I know why he is single. But Dylan was nice funny, and fun to be around. And very attractive.

"Aw, come on Dylan. There has to be someone you like." Nick smirked.

I glanced over at Dylan and he was blushing still. He looked up at me. "What about you, Kato. Anyone you like?" He asked.

Oh, that was low Dylan.

I glared at him then turned to Ash full-on smiling. Dick.

"Uh, no." Which was sort of truthful. Being in the closet and not knowing any gay guys, didn't really give me much choice. Of course, I want to change that. But no one was there.

"You guys are no fun." Nick pouted. Dylan and I caught eachother's gaze and raised eyebrows at Nick. 

"W-what?"

"Who do you like Nick? I asked, grinning evilly.

his eyes grew wide slightly and he blushed. "No one." Nobody was convinced.

''Sure." I smirked. I was going to bring it up later. 

He looked relieved that we were dropping it.

"Aw, fuck munches, I gotta go. My mom said she would castrate me if I didn't get my tiny ass home." Nick sighed. His mom could be scary when she wanted to be.

"Bye." We all mumbled as Nick left. "I gotta leave too. School tomorrow." Dani said, heading out with Ash. "Need a ride Kato?"

"You can stay the night." Dylan said, looking at me. I smiled, nodding, thankful to not having to spend anymore time with Dani's bitchy boyfriend.

"Yeah I'll stay here." I smiled at Dani. She hugged me and Dylan goodbye. Ash just stood there, glaring at me. I had given up trying to understand him. Too many mood swings. 

Dylan and I got up, heading to his bedroom when we heard them leave, signaling that Dani and Ass -I mean, Ash- left.

"I don't like that guy." I mumbled my thoughts. Dylan smiled kind of.

"Me neither, but it's Dani. This wont last long." He replied. That was true. Dani's longest relationship was 2 and 1/2 weeks. That's a record for her. She's not slutty, just likes choices.

"I hope your right."

I am. Now get ready for bed." Dylan grinned. We both slept in our shirts and boxers, so we tugged off our pants and climbed in his bed. I sighed, happy for the warmth Dylan provided. He turned off the light, making it pitch black.

"Does Ash know?" Dylan's voice blurted, loud against the silence.

"Know what?'' I asked, confused.

"That you're gay."

I fucking swear my heart stopped.
