I'm So Sick {BoyxBoy & FIN}

Bravery

Sterek placed his hand on mine and gave me a small smile. I smiles back and sighed deeply, taking a sip of my coffee. I haven't had one of these in a year. I didn't do much a year ago because of what happened. Sterek waited patiently and took a sip of his coffee. The coffee that was near me had glowing star lights, paintings of the world, and they had massive booths for four people. The best part was they had big windows near the booths and you could see outside in a huge view.

I remembered coming here with my family because they knew how much I loved this coffee shop. It was my escape from the real world. You wouldn't get judge, you wouldn't have to do stuff, and more importantly, you could just relax and not think. Sterek had bangs under his eyes but they weren't noticeable and his skin was a little pale.

"I have to tell you something," Sterek said suddenly.

I nodded my head and mentally sighed in relieved. I was ready to tell him why I was like this but I wasn't sure how to start. Plus, I want to get to know Sterek a little better. The past weeks hasn't been the most enjoyable thing ever.

"I was in a relationship. His name was Marc. We dated for about six months until he came to my house drunk. I didn't want him around because I don't like alcohol and he knows this. He apologized and stayed in my house. But...things started changing. He started acting mean, told me he never loved me, this was all a joke, and I was confused and sad that he would do something like this."

Sterek frowned and took a sip of his coffee. I stared at him and didn't say anything. I wanted to know what was the point to this. I was glad he telling me. That's what boyfriends do. They don't cheat, lie, become an asshole and kills their dog in front of them.

"Then he started hitting me. At first it was a little bit of wrestling but then he punched me in my gut so hard that I puke out blood." Sterek chuckled darkly. "He was stronger and taller than me. I always loved tall, strong guys but now I despise them."

"So you like scrawny guys with pale skin?" I joked.

Sterek smiled and kissed my knuckles. "I like guys who are cute and short."

I scoffed and looked away. "I'm not short."

"But you're cute."

"Shut up."

Sterek grabbed my chin and I stared into his eyes. "I broke up with him. I don't want to be like. I'm not going to stay with him because I loved him. I would never hit the ones I love."

I smiled and kissed his cheek. Shay appeared next to Sterek and he frowned. Shay didn't look pleased that I was with a boy but this is who I am. I liked guys and I'm not going to change. I stared at them and noticed how they were alike. They had the same sense of humor, but Sterek was a little dorky in a cute way. He would kick anyone's ass if they hurt me and he would be there. Just like my brother. I would never date my brother because he's my brother and he had a girlfriend at that time. Dating Sterek is like dating my brother. I shivered and licked my lips. "Maybe we should be friends again."

Sterek eyes widen and said, "why?"

My eyes landed on Shay and Shay smiled. "You're like my brother," I answered.

I looked bak at Sterek and he was relieved by my answer. It's rare for someone to be like my brother because he was different from anyone else. Andy and Sterek are different. I'm different because I wasn't like this a year ago. "I'm sorry about your brother. I bet he's watching over us right now."

"You have no idea," Shay and I said. His smile widen and I chuckled. One thing I used to hate about us was we would say something together and it would sound the same. But now I wished we could to it again to show people we looked sort of the same.

Sterek sighed and took a big sip from his coffee. "What do you want to do, buddy?"

I laughed and punched his shoulder. "I said brother, not socially awkward friend," I joked.

Sterek laughed and grabbed my chin pulling me into a kiss. I closed my eyes and tasted his hot French Vanilla coffee on his lips. His pulled away slowly and stared into my eyes.

"One last kiss is better than no kisses at all," Sterek whispered.

A bell rang and I looked up to see a boy with floppy, messy brown hair and an obey hat. His brown eyes looking around. He was tall to reach the door but not tall enough to reach the bell on top of the door. He was good looking but I wasn't ready to date anyone at this moment.

"Damn, he's hot," I heard Sterek say. I glared at him and he laughed, ruffling my hair. "Don't worry, I still have dibs on you."

I blushed and punched him on his arm. He laughed and continued drinking his coffee.

"I hope you don't say every guy is hot when you see a hot guy," I said.

Sterek rolled his eyes and smirked. "But he is hot. I need to get his number."

"Maybe you should randomly kiss them," Shay said.

I glared at him and he gave me an innocent. I sighed in fake annoyance. What am I going to do with these dogs in heat? Every time Shay saw Andy he would stare at her as if she's a piece of meat and Sterek would stare at me or any guy if we were a piece of meat. It felt flattering yet a little creepy. I smiled when Sterek stated at the hot guy. Sterek wasn't going to finds guys if he was a stalker staring at them. I had to fix this.

"You're right," I blurted out.

Sterek turned his attention on me. "About what?"

"About fixing things. I can't fix everything but I can make them better."

His eyes turned sad. "Gabe, what I said was-"

"was right," I finished. "I'm okay, really."

"Really?"

"Really, really."

I really was. Sterek finding the love of his life was going to be hard but it was a good thing he wasn't stuck with me. I would be lying if I didn't like how our relationship turned into brotherly love. I shocked Sterek didn't get pissed when I broke up with him because I didn't really broke up with him. I still liked him but he could do so much better.

"Sorry you didn't have the best relationship ever," I apologized.

"Shut up. This was the best relationship I ever had in months. You made me feel brave whenever I felt down," Sterek said happily.

I laughed and drink my coffee. I rolled my eyes when Sterek went back to stalking the hot guy. The guy was hot but I don't think Sterek would date him.

"You need someone who take cares of you. Stop taking care of me," I announced and smiled while taking a sip of my coffee. Shay and Sterek smiled. I told them I couldn't fix everything but I could make things right.
