Flippy And Fliqpy Roleplay!

SECTION 6 : REUNION Part 10

Splendid woke up to the sound of panicked breathing. For a while, he thought that he was still in the world of his dream. The breathing had ended by the time he remembered Fliqpy.
He got up and looked around for his roommate, before seeing him curled up in the corner as per usual, and sighed. He didn't look too comfortable once again.
He wrapped Fliqpy up in his duvet, being incredibly gentle. As much as Fliqpy had been a soldier in his life, his body felt like matchsticks. And the bruises appearing over the parts of him which were exposed were still present, looking no better after a day. That was more than worrying.
Splendid sighed and fell asleep on the bed, fully wanting to be with Fliqpy. But if he had another panic attack during the night, he needed space.

.......................

Flippy woke up in the morning and found that splendid was gone. He strolled around and realised Splendid didn't make his bed. He ten layed down and covered himself with the duvet. It still smelled of Splendid. And he saw one of his shirts on the armchair. He picked it up and held it close. Splendid was the one who calmed him down at night. He could feel it. And he wrapped him up in a duvet, he was so kind and caring. Maybe he could.... Just borrow his shirt? And just keep it for one day?...
He figured Splendid wouldn't mind. He put it on and texted his brother. He needed to say it. Soon he returned the text and Fliqpy headed out to his old house. Flippy was alone, thank God, and the two walked into their old room. Fliqpy sat in awkward silence.

"So..? What's up?"

Flippy asked. Fliqpy took a big breath.

"I... "

He trailed off.... How should he say it? He wasn't certain but it's not like there was another explanation.

"I think..."

He stopped again and made sure the door is closed before sitting down again. He lowered his voice and said quietly, making himself as small as possible not knowing how his brother would react.

"I think I'm gay."

.................

"Cool,"

Said Fliqpy. He hadn't got that much sleep last night. He'd woken up to a nightmare. It was only a small one, about the bodies they'd seen in that mission, but it had been enough to make him wake up sweating. Bad nightmares usually came after small ones, and it wasn't pretty when he had a bad one. So he spent the night awake, watching Flaky sleep, and trying not to disturb her sleep. He knew it was stupid even before it came out his mouth, but he said it anyway.

"Gay's the one where you like guys, right?"

Fliqpy nodded, "God, you remember nothing from high school? Just remember, don't tell our parents. Don't tell anyone."

Flippy nodded. This was big, but his tired brain couldn't quite process how big. He put his hand forward.

"Pinky promise,"

Fliqpy put his own hand forward, and the two brothers looked into their eyes and locked fingers

"Pinky promise."

The two nodded, and Flippy rubbed his tired eyes,

"Nice shirt... I don't think I've seen you wear this before. It really suits you."

.................

Fliqpy was glad his brother reacted so positively. But he got a shock when Flippy realised his different shirt.

"Uh... Yeah. It's new..."

He said and tried to hide his embarrassed face. Just then he smelled perfume in the whole room. He hasn't realised before.
