For the rest of the day, Simon and Josh stayed on the hill, cuddled together and watching the clouds.
Josh looked down at the boy in his arms before carefully nudging him.
"Hey, Si. We have to go. School's over and I told Tobi I would meet him, Vik, and Jide at his house. You can come with me."
Simon nodded his head before Josh stood up and led the boy down the hill, back into town.
Josh knocked on the door to Tobi's house and waited, sensing Simon's discomfort from beside him.
Hoping to calm the nervous blond, Josh grabbed his hand and rubbed gently.
The door opened to reveal Tobi's mother.
"Hello Josh! Welcome! The others are in Tobi's room." The woman said before smiling at Simon. "And who might you be?"
"My name is Simon." The blond shyly replied, nervously glancing at his and Josh's intertwined hands.
Josh smiled at Tobi's mother before dragging Simon in and up to Tobi's room.
"Hey guys!" Josh exclaimed as he walked into the room, waving with the hand not connected to Simon.
"Hello." Tobi responded while Vik just waved, nose stuck in a book. Jide was just ignoring the others as he scrolled through his phone.
"Hey Simon." The owner of the room said, to which Simon gave a slight wave.
This made Jide look up. "A human, huh? I knew you were going soft."
"And so what if I am? What's the problem with that?"
"The problem is that you aren't supposed to be able to, Freak."
Josh frowned and looked at Tobi. "I'll be right back." He announced before walking outside, leaving Simon.
"I don't even see why Josh would choose to help you. What does he see in you? What makes you so special that you can give someone unable to feel feelings?" Jide asked as soon as the front door closed.
On any other occasion, Tobi and Vik would have stopped JJ, but being quite honest, they also were very curious.
"I... I don't-"
"Was he always too weak? Why are we just learning about this now? You of all people? Wow..." JJ trailed off as Josh walked back in, putting his phone back in his pocket before taking a look at the scene in front of him.
Vik and Tobi were still on the bed, reading a book while Jide appeared to have gotten farther into the chair.
However, the thing that caught Josh's attention was the blond boy that he felt for, shaking in the middle of the room as if he had seen a ghost.
"Simon? What's wrong!" Josh exclaimed in concern, grabbing the boy before sitting down and pulling the blond down with him so he was sitting in his lap.
"N-Nothing." Simon stuttered, still shaking.
Gently, Josh pressed a kiss to Simon's head, rubbing soothing circles in his back.
Vik and Tobi both frowned. "I didn't think you were being serious about feeling Josh, but whatever's happening here, I want to have something like it." Tobi whispered, Vik nodding in agreement.
Jide frowned before sinking farther into his chair.A/N- Sorry for not updating sooner. I've had this chapter prewritten for a while now, but just haven't been able to get myself to post it because I don't really like the way it's turned out...
