Micah Vallenti has been in the closet all his life, taking his time in coming to terms with his sexuality as well as himself. Everything all of a sudden changes the second he gets outed by a boy he had trusted and known for years. Broken, dismayed...

"Micah see, you're too nice." Benny clicked his mouth. "That boy was being an asshole and you put him in his place. There shouldn't be a needed apology."
"I don't know, I think I should still feel pretty bad. I don't know how it feels to be in his situation and I used that against him." I sighed, sipping onto my coffee as Benny devoured a beautifully golden waffle topped with syrup and whipped cream.
"Micah, just help the boy out. Look, if you ever hear his dad say some crazy shit about converting him to being straight again, interrupt." He suggested, confusing me a little.
"How am I gonna do that?"
"Well." He chewed and quickly swallowed. "I want you to interrupt and pretend like you and Romeo been fucking for months and he can't do shit about it-" He couldn't even finish what he was saying as he exploded out in laughter.
I narrowed my eyes at him as I tried not to laugh. "Yea, wow, thanks. That's definitely the smartest thing to do Benny." I sarcastically responded as he kept laughing. "You know what? Romeo clearly hates me so why do I even care this much? I'm just gonna stay away from him." I added.
"I got a feeling that shit is gonna be impossible because your life is like a damn fictional novel." Benny quickly coughed. "Speaking of not being able to stay away from people, your Italian Stallion is coming." He chewed.
I quickly furrowed down my eyebrows. "Italian what?"
A familiarly charming voice appeared behind me as I quickly smiled. "Micah what's your Snapchat?" Jesse asked, his body sliding very closely next to mine, causing our skin to brush against each other.
Benny snorted before I tried to speak out. "I uh, I don't have Snapchat." I bit my lip.
Jesse surprisingly didn't seem bothered by this. "Instagram?" He asked again.
I shook my head no as his mouth slightly dropped now, Benny laughing quietly to himself. "I don't have social media, like at all-well actually I used too, but I made sure to delete everything after I got outed at school but I don't really wanna talk about that, s-so yea I don't have anything sorry."
"At least tell me you have a phone number." Jesse's deep blue eyes observed my face as his cologne crept itself into my senses.
"I do, hold on." I quickly whipped my phone out and gave it to him, my cheeks burning the whole time. "Obviously I have a phone number." I amusingly added, trying to act like me not using social media isn't weird.
"It's about time I get your phone number." Jesse smirked. "I was gonna text and ask where you were yesterday but I didn't have you on anything. Now I do." He adorably trailed off, his eyes landing on Benny. "What's so funny?" He deeply asked.
"I really don't wanna say." Benny struggled to speak as if his laugh was just gonna get louder.
I looked at him confused as Jesse leaned closer against me. "Say it."
