That other exception

Part 35

"oh for fuck sake" I heard Mini grumble and couldn't help but laugh along with everyone else.

"it's the only way to wake him up some days" Evan chuckled as he moved away from us,  I sat up and stretched as he ordered food for everyone, even listening to what we ordered made my stomach grumble.  Evan finished ordering then came over and curled up on the couch with me, I'll admit it was nice not having to censor ourselves with people around us...weird but nice.  I almost fell asleep again while we were cuddled up but I forced myself to stay awake and keep my eyes open purely so I could enjoy the feeling of him wrapped around me.

"Is there any way we can stop time?" I heard Tyler mumble, I felt sorry for him, I mean it was bad enough for me to let Evan go but Tyler and mini's relationship was still new and intense.

"I wish...if you find out how let me know...I'm so done with only seeing him once a year...twice if I'm lucky" my gut dropped as I realized I had very little time before I had to let him go again.

"that sucks...can't you guys see more of each other? I mean flights aren't that expensive these days"  

"I can't fly...damn things give me panic attacks, I had to drive from North Carolina to be here...I can't take the time off to drive to L.A, it would take me a couple of weeks to get enough video's so I could spend a few days with him"  We had tried it once and I'd spent more time asleep than I'd spent time with him, it made leaving him so much more difficult because I felt like I'd disappointed him and myself, it took forever for the guilt to go away.

  "at which point you'd be so tired you would spend most of you time with him asleep" Tyler voiced my own thoughts. 

  "He's busy as all hell so...we're kinda screwed...we just make the most of skype and the time we do get together"  

  "you could always move in together, you wouldn't be the first youtubers to share"  

  "We've been talking about it, I'd have to move to L.A though...with the amount of stuff he does we'd see each other only a little more than we do now if he moved to Greensboro...what about you and Mini?"  

  "I'm going to be seeing as much of him as I can, I don't want to cowed him though I don't want him getting sick of me living in his pockets all the time"  

  "The way you two have been making googly eyes at each other...I doubt that will happen"  

  "I can't risk it, I can't lose him Delirious...the knowledge that I've got to let go of him tomorrow is like waiting to have part of me chopped off" Tyler muttered as he pulled mini closer, I felt for the guy, it wasn't easy being in a long distance relationship.  I watched the way Tyler was looking at Mini with the ache of loss in his eyes while trying not to think about having to watch Evan leaving me tomorrow.

 "I can't see him staying away from you too long either...the other night at the club, before that dickhead showed up, he was twitchy as hell and wouldn't take his eyes off you" I smirked, my attention suddenly diverted to Evan as he fidget in my arms as if he was trying to get comfortable. 

"So how long have you two been together?" Tyler asked after waiting a few minutes to give Evan enough time to fall back to sleep.  I had to think for a moment before answering, the answer took me by surprise a little.

"four years...feels like only five minutes though...I still get that anxious excitement when I'm going to see him...even if it is only online for recording Gmod or something"  

"Four years!" Tyler repeated in surprise "you kept it hidden for four years?...how did we not notice?" 

"We just didn't mention it...I won't lie it was insanely hard not to say anything at all and I did screw up once or twice...Evan was quick enough to cover my ass though"  

"I never noticed anything and I'm sure the guys would of said something if they had...you've seen how they are with Min and I"  

"the difference is we don't leak our intentions towards each other all over the place"  I smirked, the two of them had been flirting like hell for months.

"Leak...that sounds vaguely dirty"  Tyler chuckled as he turned his attention back to Mini

"In other words...for months you and Min have been acting different, you have been more protective of him and making comments along the lines of getting his ass or owning his ass...and Mini seems to have been more flustered or saying you couldn't have his ass, like he was setting you some kind of challenge"  

"We weren't that bad!" Tyler whined, I half expected to see him pouting when I looked over but he just looked unimpressed. 

"Yes you were" Evan mumbled sleepily, I wondered how long he'd been awake and how much he'd heard. 

"Shut up and go back to snuggling your boyfriend" Tyler chuckled as he watched Evan yawn and snuggle closer to me.

"says the guy petting his bae" Evan fidgeted and looked over at where the two of them where cuddled together, it was then that I realized that Tyler was playing with mini's hair while the smaller guy was pretty much curled up on his chest.  Tyler stopped petting Mini and turned an impressive shade of red.

"why'd you stop?" Mini grumbled as he fidgeted and pushed closer to Tyler 

"I didn't want to wake you"  I heard the love and tenderness in Tyler's voice and realized that those two where in a serious relationship, I couldn't help but smirk.

"I wasn't asleep" Mini whined  sounding like an overtired child that was trying to stay up to see santa.  Evan chuckled and looked up at me mouthing to me that he thought it was sweet.  it didn't last long, there was a knock at the door and Evan shot out of my arms so fast I thought he'd teleported.  I just caught sight of Tyler and Mini jumping  like it was some kind of weird chain reaction that I'd missed out on, but it looked funny as all hell.

"Jonathan...Please...at the very least put a dressing gown on" Evan grumbled for what was probably the tenth time since he woke me up earlier.

"No...I'm comfortable as I am!" I grumbled back, if he wanted me to be decent when he had visitors he'd have to give me more that two hours sleep.  Evan rolled his eyes and headed for the door as we heard another knock "hold on a second" he called out,  the next thing I knew I had the duvet thrown over me and by the time I had wrestled my way out from under it The guy had delivered the food and left.
