Everything You Are - Brendon Urie *completed* (part 2/3)

ninety: break involuntary ties

I laid on my back in a t-shirt and my underwear scrolling through my phone, patiently waiting for Brendon to show up outside my window like usual. I couldn't help the smile that didn't seem to leave my face as I waited for the tap on my window. When I heard it, I hopped out of bed and opened up my window to help him in. 

"Hi," I leaned in and kissed him, and we kissed for a little bit until he pulled away and smiled at me. 

"What's with the suddenly chipper mood?" he asked, taking my hands and sitting on my bed with me. 

"When I got home, my mother and Jason were sitting in the living room playing UNO and laughing, and he spent the evening with her, made her dinner and everything and they were genuinely having a good time together," I said. "And then I joined them and it felt natural, like things were finally okay in my family for once, even though my father wasn't there." 

"That's so great, Charlie, I'm glad to hear it," he smiled. "I seriously haven't seen you look so happy in so long, almost ever."

"It feels so good, you know, my family hasn't been put together in so long that it was a weird, nice nostalgic feeling when I went inside," I said. "And I really hope it sticks." 

"I do too, you know a smile suits you way more than that constantly angry face you always have," he teased. 

"Oh bite me," I rolled my eyes and shoved his shoulders, and he chuckled and playfully rolled me over onto my back and nibbled at my neck, playfully at first but the mood between us quickly shifted as he swiped his tongue against my skin and bit down a little harder, sucking on it and making me gasp slightly. 

He slipped his hand up my shirt and pushed his hips down into mine, and I wrapped my hand around his waist to pull him closer to me. He hummed against my neck in response, moving up to my lips and kissing me. His hand up my shirt cupped over my breast, squeezing it and I moaned softly against his lips. He used his other hand to pull my shirt over my head and move down my chest, kissing and sucking purple marks all over my skin as he worked his way further down my body. 

I knew what he wanted to do and since it was Valentine's Day, I wasn't going to refuse as he reached my hips, biting down on the skin of my inner thighs. I watched as he pulled away only long enough to tug his shirt over his head and discard it somewhere on the floor in my room to be found in the morning when he left. He softly pulled my underwear down my legs and positioned himself between them, lowering his head and disappearing between my thighs just before I felt his tongue against me.

Valentine's Day ended well between the two of us, Brendon happy that he got to have his way with me for as long as he wanted and he stayed a bit longer than usual in the morning by my request to cuddle and hold each other, appreciating the skin to skin contact for a little longer before he had to leave. 

I didn't see much of him for a few days after that, but Monday evening, he invited me over to hang out with him and Dallon while they wrote music together. I of course was glad to be spending time with both of them and agreed immediately, heading over as soon as I'd finished putting my homework away and informed my mother of my whereabouts. When I reached his door, I walked in, him and his mother both insisting that I let myself in whenever they were expecting me. I heard Brendon and Dallon down in his basement, and I followed their voices after saying hello to his mother. 

"Hi," I said as I walked through the door, and Dallon jumped slightly at my voice, Brendon having leaned in close to him as he was giggling about something. 

"Jesus, you scared me, Charlie," Dallon said, smiling at me as I sat down with them. 

"What are you guys working on?" I asked, plopping down onto the bean bag I usually sat on when I was over and they were writing together. 

Brendon shrugged. "Just messing around with lyrics, mostly. Nothing is sticking too much today." 

I watched as they interacted, being weirdly flirty with each other again. Dallon would say something to Brendon and he would laugh and lean in a little closer than necessary, or he'd even put his hand on Dallon's thigh a couple times here and there. It was harmless, but Brendon never acted like this with anyone but me, and apparently Dallon too. 

And it didn't just happen a couple times, it happened the entire time I was over at Brendon's. I left to go back home for dinner after a little while, but I couldn't shake their odd behavior from my mind, and the fact that it's been happening for so long and I have gotten no answers from either of them. It's like both of them think it's totally normal, the way they act with each other. 

It wasn't that I was jealous or not okay with it, I just wanted to know the truth. 

I invited Josh over to hang out for a bit after dinner to play video games and he did, sitting in my basement with me. We chatted idly for a few minutes, laughing with each other like we usually did. 

"Hey, Josh, can I ask you something seriously?" I asked, turning to face him. 

"Of course you can, what is it?" he asked, turning to me and looking at me with concern. 

"I know I've been dwelling on this for a while, it's just really been bugging me," I said. "It's about Brendon and Dallon."

"And how they keep acting all flirty and almost couple-y?" he asked.

"Yeah," I said. "You notice it too? Not just because of me saying something?" 

"Yeah, I notice it," he nodded. 

"Has Dallon said anything to you about it?" I asked. "I've asked them both before and they just brush it off but I know there's something going on between those two." 

He shook his head. "I asked him once but he said him and Brendon are just best friends and it's just natural for them." 

"I'm determined to get answers from them," I said. "I'm going to corner them both tomorrow and demand an explanation until I get one. Is Dallon doing anything tomorrow after school?"

"I don't think so," he said. "And Charlie, whatever you find out tomorrow, I just want you to know that I'm here for you whether it's good news or bad." 

His words sunk in a little deeper than they probably should have. What is Brendon really was cheating on me with Dallon? I knew it was far fetched but was it impossible? 

I tried not to think about it too much for the rest of the night, not wanting to stress myself out even more. I was determined to get to the bottom of this, and despite my doubts, my trust lies in Brendon. He's never lied to me about something like that, why would he start now?
