Chapter 17

Eddie POV: (cont.)

James’s jaw dropped and his eyes widened with shock.

“Do you mean to tell me you’re ga—“

“Yeah. Though I don’t really prefer being called that. I think ‘in love’ works better.”

“With Aleks?”

I nodded.

He gave me a stumped look, “Damn. And I thought I was better looking.”

I broke into laughter. Leave it to James to make a comment like that. I had to admit that for a second I thought he was going to be upset with me for being in a relationship with Aleks and that he was right after all. But no worries—James loved it.

“And all this time you have been with him! Wow,” he said after I explained everything about our relationship to him—but not the sex part, he didn’t need to know about that.

“Well I am so happy for you, Eddie. I never would’ve expected you to hook up with him, to be honest, but you seem pretty happy.”

“I am so happy. But the reason I am pissed at him tonight is because he was worried you and Seamus would judge him—or, rather, us. So I haven’t been able to tell you due to him.”

“I know now, though. Guess this makes it easier for him then, huh?”

“Completely. But he will still have to face you.”

“And technically Seamus doesn’t know yet, so there’s that too.”

That was right. Seamus was asleep. Well, we could tell him in the morning, this time both Aleks and I. Maybe he wouldn’t have to owe me after all…no, he still owed me, I snickered inwardly.

“Aleks and I will handle Seamus together. It’ll all work out,” I grinned.

“Problem solved. And now I know where you’ve been sticking your cock! Not some girl, oh no, but fucking Immortal H fucking D! Damn. I’m still speechless on that. You know the fangirls are going to have a field day, don’t you?”

“Oh, totally! At long last their fanfictions and fanart will be true,” I laughed, and James did right along with me.

“I’ll leave you to get some sleep, James. Thanks for understanding,” I said, rising to my feet.

“I think I’d understand if it was anyone, Eddie. I’m just surprised is all.”

We said our good nights and I climbed the staircase back up to my room where Aleks lied in bed, stretched out on his side.

I climbed into bed after taking off my pants and saw a single tear still on his cheek, newly shed.

“Oh, Aleks,” I murmured. I hated to hurt him, but I knew what was good for him. I couldn’t apologize for that.

“G’night, my Sleeping Beauty. Dream sweet dreams—maybe about me,” I said, pulling him to me. He’d get over it. Just a small hurdle to jump, and we wouldn’t have to deal with it for a few months longer when we would move in together in Colorado and, then, tell the Nobs and Homies.

I know it's Tuesday and, according to my uploading schedule, I don't upload today, but I agree with several of you that yesterday's chapter was short. So, as a present from me to you in thanks for how amazingly nice and supportive you've been to me, have another chapter! And yeah, it's sort of short too, but I wanted to split the last chapter and this one. So go wild!

LOVE YOU GUYS!
