The Thing About Glenn Pearson (boyxboy)

Glenn- Eighteen

"So," Rebecca said slowly in Glenn's ear. He shifted on his bed to get more comfortable as he awaited her next words, trying to ignore the sound of Jason and Greg yelling at one another in the living room and his mother trying to calm them. It was no surprise to Glenn that Jason was flipping a lid. Greg had just announced that he actually found an apartment. "Let me make sure I'm getting this right, alright? So, Nathan Daily gets you to dance?"

"Correct".

"And then he kisses you-"

"Affirmative".

"And then when you try to take a break from all the kissing to talk about exactly what the fuck is going on he runs away from you-"

"Accurate".

"And when you call him the next day to talk about it he tells you that he regrets kissing you and that it was a big mistake-"

"Yes".

"And then he invites you over to his house to hang out?" Rebecca finished and Glenn hummed in agreement.

"Precisely".

For a moment Rebecca seemed to be at a loss of words, and Glenn took the silence to think about Nathan, as he often did. "That son of a bitch. I'm about to kick his goddamn ass into next fucking week-"

"I think that I'm going to go over there," Glenn interrupted and Rebecca cut off with a sharp inhale. Once again, she fell silent, and Glenn chewed his lip as he thought about it.

There really was not reason for him not to go... except for the fact that two days ago Nathan had kissed him and then said it meant nothing and that could potentially lead to an incredibly awkward situation when they were together. Groaning, Glenn rolled onto his side.

"I-" Beck began before she cut off and huffed. "Why the fuck would you do that, Glenn? What are you thinking? He doesn't deserve you".

"I don't know," Glenn grumbled. "I like spending time with him. It makes me happy. So what if he kissed me".

"So what?" Rebecca repeated, sounding as if she couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Glenn, sweetie, you've been waiting for Nathan to make a move on you for the past two years, and you're telling me that having him kiss you, and then tell you that it was a mistake and he regrets it didn't hurt you at all?"

"It hurt," Glenn confirmed after a pause. "But-"

"But what, Glenn? Nathan Daily is a fucking dick head idiot who doesn't deserve your friendship," Rebecca declared and Glenn rolled his eyes.

"You're over exaggerating. He's not a bad person, Becca".

"He's not a good one," his friend mumbled in return. "He's toying with you".

"No He's not". Glenn was confident of this. "He's just... oblivious".

"Is that really what you want?" Rebecca asked softly, and he didn't respond, distracted by the sound of Jason yelling I don't care if you fucking do on the other side of the door. "Is that my baby?"

"You could hear that too?" Glenn asked, and Rebecca hummed. "Yeah. It's Jace. Greg found an apartment".

Rebecca snorted. "Good".

"Hey," Glenn breathed. "This is going to be hard on Jason and he doesn't need you being a bitch about it the whole time". Rebecca scoffed.

"Well fuck you then. I'm hanging up". Glenn's eyes widened a little bit at her tone. He hated fighting with Rebecca. She was his best friend. Without her he barely knew how to function.
