MiniZerk - You Could Follow Your Heart

Chapter 15

In the morning, Josh couldn't have been happier with himself.

He was cheerful as ever as he leaned over and kissed Simon's lips, even though his lover was sound asleep beside him. He rolled out of bed and went downstairs after pulling on his pajamas that he had discarded on Simon's floor. He smiled when he saw Vikk and JJ eating breakfast together in the kitchen.

"Morning guys," he greeted, helping himself to the breakfast pizza in the middle of the table. "I think Simon and I are getting back together."

Vikk's eyes narrowed, and JJ's face remained blank as he said, "You two were never together . having sex does not count."

"That's true," Vikk agreed, setting his pizza down on the plate in front of him. "Besides, do you really think that's the best idea right now? With Ethan being sick and all..."

Josh frowned, swallowing his bite of pizza audibly. "I didn't realize Ethan's health had anything to do with Simon and I seeing each other. We had a really good night last night and...I forgot how happy he makes me."

"Yeah, well," JJ deadpanned, seemingly unamused. Josh had to wonder what in the hell had crawled up his ass. "Maybe you should remember that before you break his heart again. He doesn't fucking need that from you, Josh. Treat him right this time."

Without another word, JJ stormed out of the kitchen, slamming hard into Josh's shoulder as he made his exit. Confused, Josh took his empty seat across the table from Vikk.

"And what exactly is his deal this morning? It's not even noon."

Vikk sighed, scratching at the back of his head. "Well...none of us really appreciated what went on between you and Simon beforehand. And if you guys get at each other again like you did last time...I don't know if Simon will be able to take that."

Immediately Josh grew defensive on his lover's behalf. "Well, Simon isn't a little kid, you know. Besides that, I'm serious about him this time. More serious than I've ever been. Fuck, Vikk...I think I'm in love with him."
