Sticks and Stones

Awkward

[2 year later]

"Oort stay away from me!!" I giggle as we run up the stairs. I make a B line to my room. Hearing a thump behind me I glance back. Big mistake. Oort scrambled up on all four like a hungry wolf after me.

"Get back here! You goof give it back!" I clench his beloved pen in my fist. My hands sweaty as the pen begins slipping from my grasp. These dumb games we play now about the only source of daily exercise we get, resulting in us laughing til we cry or until we break something.

"No! Unless you can catch me!" I retorted, tripping on my own feet. Landing on my back I tossed the pen over and behind him into the corridor. Turning he slipped crawling towards his prized possession. Thinking quickly I grabbed his ankle, pulling him away. His foot kicked back way too close to my groin, missing thankfully "Ow!! You kicked me!!" I yelled holding my crotch, rolling over. Oort stopped, turning around and rushing towards me.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry a-are you okay!?" He dropped something, presumably the pen beside me, gently resting a hand on my side.

"Ha! Tricked you!!" I sneered jumping up, tackling Oort to the ground. Straddling his waist I leaned over pinning his arms to the ground.
"You're such a dumb, when will you ever not fall for that one?" He looked up at me, his mouth pouting then slowly forming into a smirk.

"When you remember this!" He cried throwing me off hopping onto me. Our former positions now switched, I feel my face heat up his brown chestnut eyes locked with mine. "Ha who's the dumb now?" Our breathing both heavy and our faces hot and red.
I squirmed under him, searching for the ideal position to escape. Suddenly he swiftly leaned down and a warm, wet, fleshy object ran up my cheek. Freezing it took me a bit to realize what that was, as soon as I did I thrashed around even more.

"Ew Oort what the hell!? Why?!" In my distress, he laughed at my defenceless position. My face completely flushed red did not help.
Oort rolled off clutching his stomach as he laughed. He couldnt stop laughing now laying on his back. I wiped my wet cheek rubbing it off his saliva on my pants.
Taking advantage of the opportunity at hand I got up and tried to lick Oort's cheek. I missed. My tongue slid past his cheek, went over and dipped in his open mouth. I shot up my face letting off as much heat as the sun, feeling as if it would explode. I got up and ran to the bathroom shutting the door. Holding the locked door I slid down, my head in my hands. Oort's laughter now dead silence.
What the hell WASD you idiot you've ruined your friendship now.

Oort's pov
The event that happened an hour before still fresh in my mind. As I set the table those events sequenced in my head over and over again. Every time a wave of heat traveling down my body and in areas I'd rather not discuss.

"I'm done Noe." I said sitting on one of the chairs. "Thanks Oort where's Wasd?" She asked looking at me an eyebrow raised. It took me a while to decide what to say.

"He's... Upstairs probably..." She nodded, half turning around before facing me again.

"Can you go get him? I need to keep an eye on the food it'll be a few minutes still." I gulped but nodded hesitantly. I walked as slowly as I could up the stairs towards the bathroom where u knew Wasd was hiding. Wasd was never one to really see how he felt about him. And he really didn't know how he's coax him out of the bathroom.

Walking softly towards the door I knocked "Wasd?" I asked. A shuffle is heard coming towards the door.

"Mmm—yeah?" A small peep like a mouse came from the other side. He's so adorable, ever since the first time we met I found him absolutely fucking adorable.

"Are you okay? I just wanted to check up on you." The click of the door sounded causing me to step back. A head of curly brown hair and warm brown eyes met mine.

"I'm fine I-I'm sorry for earlier..." He blushed a bit as did I remembering.

"Can I come in?" He nodded backing up. Walking towards the empty bathtub I got in gesturing with my head inviting him in.

We sat across from each other not making eye contact. Now would be a good opportunity to tell him. "Wasd? I have something to tell you—" he glanced up at me, his knees meeting his chest. "I don't know if you already know but... I'm... I-I'm...." I hesitantly said looking down, tears prickling at my eyes. Wasd looked at me, his eyes wide in surprise. He opened his mouth, but closed it again. I shut my eyes wiping away the tears. A pair of hands rested on my shoulders, as I opened my eyes Wasd was only a few inches away from my face.

"It's okay it was my fault." He smiled completely oblivious to what I was about to tell him.

"No. I wanted to tell you that I'm, I-I'm gay." It took a while for him to respond.

"Oh I figured that out already."he giggled ruffling my hair. I sat there in shock, but how? What it that obvious?

"Well why didn't you ask earlier?! Would've saved me some embarrassing times." I pushed him back pouting. We burst out laughing, both slowly sliding into the tub.

"We should go eat now." Wasd breathed climbing out offering his hand to me. Nodding I grabbed his hand stepping out of the tub.
Then walking downstairs we sat at the table still bubbling with giggles.
"Why are you two so happy?" Wasd's mom asked looking at the both of us back and forth. Wasd looked at me, sticking out his tongue causing us to burst out laughing. Completely oblivious of what was happening she threw her hands up in surrender. "I don't know what the heck you two are up to but I honestly don't want to know." She laughed taking a long sip of water.

~Oooh the drama... I skipped two boring years believe me it'll get a lot more juicy in the future. Plus it's a lot more fun to write them as teens.<3 I need some ideas for the cover. For now it's kinda ugly I'll draw it but I don't have any idea what exactly how it'll look... See ya (• ε •)
