Finn's POV

I don't even remember falling asleep last night; Jack and I were too busy talking and laughing and, uhh, blushing. I woke up at 4:00 in the morning and realized that Jack and I were cuddling as we slept. The most beautiful boy in the world was still fast asleep. I was going to get up and change but I was too scared that I was going to disturb my Jackie. I just couldn't do that. It felt so good to be holding him in my arms; his warmth was infectious. I ended up staring at him for a little bit before falling back into a deep slumber.

I woke up a couple hours later and Jack was awake looking at me. As soon as he noticed that I was awake he jumped back and got off of me.

"Oh, Finn. Sorry, I just woke up and we were cuddling like this," he said with the most adorable shade of red growing on his freckled cheeks.

"Come here Jack. I didn't say that I didn't like it." Jack blushed even harder and laid his head back down on my shoulder as I was grinning and giggling.

Thirty minutes later

Jack and I have been lying on my bed for the longest time, holding each other without saying a word. He finally broke the silence.

"We should probably get up and get ready for school, Finn. It's 7:00 already."

"Okay," I replied with an obviously annoyed groan.

"Shit! I wasn't thinking that I didn't have any clean clothes to wear," Jack yelled.

"It's okay Jackie. You can borrow some of mine if you want."

"Jackie? I like it. And I'd love to borrow some clothes; I really don't want to run back to my house. Thank you, Finnie!" I couldn't help but smile.

"Any time Jackie! Let's get ready."

The two of us got ready for school. We didn't shower because we didn't have time. When we got our stuff together, we ran down the stairs and I quickly grabbed us a snack and said goodbye to my mom.

"Thank you for letting me stay over, Mrs. Wolfhard," Jack said before we left being the polite boy that he is.

"Any time Jack. Have a great day at school boys," she said making herself some breakfast. Jack and I ran out of the house and started heading to the school.

Jack's POV

As Finn and I walked to school, hand in hand, I couldn't help but think of this morning. Did we really cuddle all night? And did Finn really like it? I wonder if he likes me as more than a friend.

"...ood Jack"

"Huh?" I said looking up realizing that Finn was talking to me.

"Did you sleep good Jackie?" he asked me; all I could focus on though were his beautiful eyes.

"Oh, yeah, I did." I could almost hear my heart beating in my chest. Why was I so nervous?

"Good!" Finn said giggling.

We walked the rest of the way to the school smiling and holding hands. When we got there, we let go of each others hands...such an empty feeling...and walked to the usual hangout for the Loser's Club before class. We were the last there and everyone looked at us smiling.

"What?" we both said in unison which made us laugh.

"Jack, I've never seen you in those clothes before? Are they new?" It was Wyatt, grinning.

"Oh, these. I may have slept at Finn's and borrowed some clothes," I replied with an embarrassed look on my face.

"You owe me five bucks, Jae," Wyatt said to Jaeden, laughing.

"Uhh, fine." They were both laughing now.

"You guys really made a bet on this." I said this pointing to my clothes and we all started laughing as the bell rang for first period.

Finn's POV

2:00 PM that afternoon

We just got out of class and decided that the Loser's should hang out today. The seven of us were going to meet up at Jack's house, which was convenient for the two of us. We all left the school together, talking, as we headed for Jack's house. This should be fun, I thought to myself.

When we arrived, Jack said hello to his mom who greeted all of us and we went up to Jack's room.

"Hey guys, want to play 'Truth or Dare'?" Sophia asked when we settled on Jackie's bed.

"Sure," we all said in unison. I was honestly a little bit nervous.

"Jack, you go first," Sophia said.

"Okay, um, Finn, Truth or Dare."

"Truth," I replied sounding more confident than I was.

"Do you have a crush on anyone?" He asked me this and my heart dropped.

"I-I.. yes, I do." I knew that I was stuttering so badly.

"Oh my god, who is it?" Sophia asked seeming overly excited.

"It doesn't matter," I said quickly. Everyone else groaned but we kept playing the game.

One hour later

"Wyatt, Truth or Dare," Jaeden asked.

"Dare, obviously."

"I dare you to...kiss someone in this room!" Jaeden was squealing.

Without hesitation Wyatt got up, walked toward Sophia and then turned and planted a fat kiss on Jaeden's lips. It looked like Jaeden was kissing back too. The rest of us just stared in awe. It was so cute. When they pulled away they were both blushing and Wyatt sat back down. Quickly after we decided to forget about the game and just talk for a while. Jyatt, as I was calling it, was still blushing the entire time.

Two hours later, 5:00 PM

The seven of us had been talking for a couple hours about mostly random shit. Everyone decided to leave Jack's house and I grabbed my stuff ready to head out.

"Wait, Finn!" Jack called out after me.

"Yes, Jackie." I replied, trying to sound cute.

"Do you want to stay? We can hang out, just the two of us." He seemed very shy as he asked. It was super adorable.

"I'd love to, Jack." I put my backpack back on the ground and we went back to talking, and cuddling, on his bed, only taking a break to eat dinner with his mom.

9:00 PM that evening

I texted my mom so that she knew that I was just at Jack's house and then I went to the bathroom while Jack sat on his bed watching TV. When I got there I shut the door and looked in the bathroom mirror trying not to cry.

"Fuck," I said under my breath knowing that Jack wouldn't hear.

I knew that I was falling in love with this gorgeous, curly-haired boy named Jack Dylan Grazer. The thought that I was gay and that he might be the one for me was terrifying. It was fucking terrifying.

After a few moments, I washed my face with water and headed back to the bedroom while Jack turned on a movie. Before I knew it we were fast asleep.
