Perfection [boy x boy]

Chapter 9 Closer

Simons Pov

Gavin puts his hands on my shoulders and pushes me away from his body. He looks down at the ground and shakes his head.

Gavin: Sorry, I can't. I like someone else.

I look at him with a slightly disappointed look and a faint smile. I'd already guessed that it would turn out like this.

Simon: It's okay, I understand. It's Oliver huh?

Gavin: How did you know...?

Simon: It's quite easy to figure out. When you're with him you look at him all the time. In addition, you get jealous when someone else is with him and when you're not with him you're talking about him all the time. All you do is thinking about him.

His face turns deep red.

Gavin: It's that obvious?

Simon: At first I barely noticed it. But now that Oliver has started to avoid us, I can see that you're hurt. And I'm sorry for what I did... You remind me of Malek, he's my ex.

Gavin: Oh, that's why you knew so much about him. He's not the type of person who'd share so much about himself and that's why you knew about the tattoo he had on his lower back that he wouldn't show to anyone. Makes sense now..

Simon: Wouldn't show to anyone? I didn't know that... How do you know about it then?

Gavin: I saw it once without him knowing it. YOU CANT TELL HIM ABOUT THIS!!!

Simon: Hahah okay, don't worry.

Gavin: So.. uhh, have you had sex?

Simon: Oh you're very straight forward, heh yeah we have... many times....

Gavin: so you and my cousin are... gay?

Simon: yeaah, and so are you?

Gavin: Yeah...I guess, at least for Oliver. What happened between you two?

Simon: You know, Malek and I were together for three years but he cheated on me, so I broke up with him. It was quite recently and I've had a hard time forgetting him, that's why I got interested in you.

Gavin: Im sorry to hear that... But from what I know, Malek wouldn't cheat on his lover.

Simon: I know, but he didn't deny it. He didn't even try to explain the situation. Let's just talk about you instead, I don't want to talk about this. Gavin, if you really want Oliver, you have to do something about it.

Gavin: I've already confessed to him and that ended up really bad.

Simon: You can't just watch as he slowly fades away from you. People can change, you shouldn't give up. When I wanted to get together with Malek, I had a difficult time too. He didn't like me at first but I never gave up and in the end we became a couple. As you have noticed, Oliver has started to distance himself from us. If you want something to happen between you, you have to make a move. How about the two of you go to your house and try to talk about it?

We continue to talk about Oliver and other things like how it is to fall for another guy.

I'm pretty sure Oliver has something for Gavin, but he's probably confused about his feelings. When he's with Gavin, he's much kinder and when he's not with him, he seems a bit depressed. It isn't very noticeable that he's depressed but if you compare it to how happy he is with Gavin, you'll notice it.

I have also noticed that he's lying about Gavin. He's probably doing it because he wants to be the only one that knows so most about him, like having him for himself.

I didn't tell Gavin this because I think he should figure it out by himself.
