"I am so sorry," repeated Jesse as Daven held up his jacket for the sub. "I... I was just so surprised. Damn it. God damn it." He hid his face and stomped his foot.

"It's fine. Only a little got on me. Take off your shirt and put this one."

"I'm so sorry." Jesse took out his arm and tried to figure how to get his shirt off without getting puke in his hair.

Daven tossed the jacket over his shoulder. "Do you like this shirt?"

Jesse looked at him confused. "No, it's just a white shirt. I have like ten more in my room."

"Good." Daven took the neck of it and ripped it down the middle. "If it had been Raven, he would scream, so I thought I'd ask."

Right on time, Raven ran over with the phone still pressed to his ear. "Oh no, what happened?"

"Daven," Jesse sucked in his lips. "Daven kissed me." He smiled. "And I just got overwhelmed and," he motioned to the puddle of vomit.

"Oh my god!" someone yelled over the phone. "They kissed. Oh, my sweet little boy had his first kiss. I have to tell your father."

"Mom!" Daven yelled. "That's embarrassing." He passed Jesse his jacket before taking Raven's phone. "You won't suppose to hear that."

Raven leaned in close to Jesse with a grin. "So my brother kissed you?"

Jesse put on the jacket and zipped it up. "He was trying to prove a point."

"What kind of point?"

Jesse rolled his eyes. "Something about being 85 percent straight and 15 percent gay. He was just trying to tell me he might be bi."

Raven squealed with delight and hugged his roommate. "That's so exciting." The sub lurched back. "You smell horrible."

"Really?" Jesse removed his friend's arms from around his neck. "We just went over that I puked."

Raven giggled. "Your first kiss and you puked on the guy. It's one to remember."

"Shut up." Jesse glanced at Daven, biting his nails.

The jacket smelled like Daven. It was so large on Jesse too, but he kind of liked that. The sub had a hard time remember that Daven was only fourteen. He seemed so much old, more mature. But Jesse guessed when someone spent every day being treated like an adult and having to do things like hunt and chase rogues, then they'd have to grow up quicker. Daven's height also made him look older, and the dominant was only going to get taller.

Daven hung up and let out a deep breath.

"What'd Mom say?" Raven skipped over and took the phone.

"No boys ever," Daven stated.

Raven scoffed at him. "What does that have to do with anything?"

"You told mom I kissed Jesse. Now the whole pack is going to know. Jagger is probably getting a million text right now about it, and I have the share a room with the guy, and it's all your fault."

"I didn't mean to," whine Raven.

The two started to go at it. Mostly with Daven being dramatic and Raven saying sorry.

Jesse laughed to himself. Well, Daven was mature some of the time. Other times he was just a revengeful little pup.

Daven opened the door to find a smirking boy inside.

"So," Jagger raised an eyebrow. "I got some interesting text from the pack. Woke me up actually. Someone came out as bi?"
