His Help (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 5

I was currently trying to sleep in a makeshift bed of blankets and pillows as Howard slept on the bed with Caspar.

Taken out of context I'm sure that sounds kind of odd.

So Caspar had this idea that we could all stay over night if we wanted and of course I'd said yes, not wanting to leave anytime soon while Ricky and Oliver said they had other plans as well as Harry because he had homework he had to catch up on. I had texted my mom, gotten the okay and we had played video games till around midnight or maybe one I couldn't tell before choosing sleeping arrangements. So now it was just me, David, Howard and obviously Caspar. And Howard, being Caspar's closest friend, got to sleep on the bed.

Can you tell I'm jealous?

Not to mention David was just on the other side of the bed, ready to attack me. I don't know why but that guy really spooked me, maybe it was the hair, or maybe it was because he was like six foot three and I was a puny human at five foot nine. Either way that guy scared me.

I sighed before giving up on sleep considering I'd been lying there for about an hour and hadn't even gotten tired enough to close my eyes and headed down stairs towards the kitchen to get a glass of water.

Instead when I went downstairs I found David sitting on a stool at the island in the middle of the kitchen.

Now it could have been Howard or Caspar and I would be fine- well maybe not so much with the latter- but that's not the point! The point is that David freaked me out, he just had bad juju or something. Don't judge me! I see you judging me and I don't like it!

I stopped dead in my tracks before gathering my courage and striding into the kitchen towards the fridge, catching David's gaze along the way as he watched me grab a cup from the cupboard and fill it with water from the fridge. Then being as brave as I could I walked around the kitchen island and sat down next to David on the other stool.

"Couldn't sleep?" He asked me, his voice sounding deeper letting me know he'd probably woken up only a while ago. I shook my head before taking another sip of my water. "So Caspar huh?" I spit the water I'd just been drinking back into the cup as I tried not to choke. "What about Caspar." I said rather quickly as David looked amused.

"You like him, yeah?" David asked and I couldn't help but feel he was enjoying my suffering just as much as I hated talking about the subject. "As a friend yeah. He's a great friend." I said taking my cup to the sink and dumping the rest of the water down the sink. "I've never had a gay friend before." David said looking into his empty glass of water. "No, I'm not gay! I only like Caspar as a friend! That's it!" I whisper yelled before taking the stairs two at a time to my safe haven of a bed.

I could hear David come back upstairs and I quickly pretended to be asleep so he didn't try to interrogate me more in the subject in front of Caspar's sleeping form.

It did bring up some questions in my head though. Was it obvious I liked Caspar? Was it obvious I was gay? Was I even gay? I only liked Caspar and I had never found males attractive before meeting him. Was there something wrong with me or him? Was it a normal thing for straight guys to like him? Was I ju-

-Z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-

I was woken by someone physically lifting me from the floor. I let out a half awake screech as I landed on someone else and then someone else jumped on top of me.

I opened my eyes to see I was I between Howard and Caspar, more specifically face to face with Caspar as David laid on top of the three of us, hugging all three of us in a awkward hug. "Wake up guys." David said getting off us and shaking Howard. I was wide awake already, who wouldn't be at this point blank distance with Caspar.
