Mexican Sniper (Kellic)

Chapter 06: I'm Going To Break Your Little Heart

With a shot, Alex had turned and had walked quickly away from us and everything. I figured he was just angry at Jack for not telling him his secret, the two were pretty close after all.
Jack and Zack looked at us with shock, until Jack's face turned sour towards Justin.

"You told them!" He yelled, tearing himself away from the other boy.

"They were going to find out anyways Jack," Justin defended himself. "They're our best friends, it doesn't matter if they know."

"That's not your fucking choice to decide, Justin." Jack spat. He was practically fuming, looking at Justin as if he'd like nothing more than to wrap his fingers around his throat.

Zack, noticing the behavior in Jack, acted quickly by weaving his arms around him and kissing his neck softly. Jack didn't falter, staring at Justin from down the corridor.

I knew Zack, we weren't friends but I had spoken to him a couple times. He seemed nice enough;funny to be around. I didn't think Jack would have been gay for him of all people, we always teased Jack and Alex of being together. But it was slightly annoying that Jack didn't trust us with his secret.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Brendon asked quietly.

Jack's gaze softened as he looked at the other boy. He sighed as he leant back against Zack's chest as Zack's muscular arms tightened around him.
"I didn't know how." Jack mumbled.

"Why did you tell Justin and not us?" I noticed how lovey-dovey Zack and Jack actually were together.

"I didn't." Jack said, "he found us once by accident."

"I'm sorry, Jack," Justin tried. "But they needed to know eventually."

Jack's gaze snapped back to Justin in a harsh manner, all fire had returned to his eyes.
"And I would have told them. When I was fucking ready!" Jack yelled causing Zack to hold him tighter.

"Once?" Brendon's eyebrows raised as I glanced at him. "How long has this been going on for then?"

Jack paused. "A month."

"A month?" Brendon and I both echoed in disbelief.

"How long did he know?" I pointed at Justin.

"Three weeks." He replied sheepishly.

"Wow guys, thanks for the trust," Brendon muttered. "What did you think we were going to do? Call you a fag or something?"

"Honestly Jack, do you think it matters to us whether you're gay or not?" I said and suddenly I was reminded of my encounters with naked Vic in the shower and how my heart had raced when I saw him.

"Yeah, as long as you're happy you idiot." Brendon continued.
I shook my head, snapping myself out of my daze.

I focused my eyes on Jack. He looked so happy that we had accepted him, which we would have. After he had gotten over his initial anger, a blush crept up on his cheeks as he realised just how tightly Zack was holding him in front of us.

He said something incoherent to Zack who just smiled and shook his head at him. Zack kissed him quickly on the cheek before letting him go, saying a goodbye to us and walking away.

I almost felt like an excited teenager for as soon as Zack was out of earshot, Brendon and I squealed and ran to Jack, engulfing him in our arms. Justin laughed, but stayed back.

"You guys are acting like fourteen year olds when their best friend gets a boyfriend," Jack groaned.

"That's because it's almost the same!" Brendon laughed. We broke away from Jack to look at him. "Is he your first... Boy?"
