eight||confession

on monday morning, it was especially hard for joba to get out of bed. other than the fact that he stayed up late talking to matt, he didn't want to show his face out in public. ever since he developed his little crush on matt, he felt exposed and as if everybody knew that joba boring was not straight. the only person he told was romil and he knew damn well that romil would not tell a soul without asking joba first, so realistically he had nothing to worry about, but he felt guilty.

as he stared at his tired eyes in the mirror, he debated staying home again. it wasn't a wise decision, but he could just sleep the day away and ignore his problems. his mother did that and she got away with it, so why couldn't he? granted, his mother was deeply unhappy and absolutely hated her life, but joba was on that path anyway, so what was the harm in speeding it up? he was bound to die alone with not a single person who deeply cared about him- all because he couldn't just come to terms with the fact that he was... not straight. he finished brushing his teeth and returned to his room to throw on a baggy hoodie and some sweatpants. he made the reluctant decision to go to school, but only to see merlyn and dom.

as joba slid into his truck, he checked the text he received from matt 10 minutes ago.

matt: good morning! your cute as hell.

joba smiled to himself. he didn't even care that matt used the wrong "your", he was just glad to see that the other boy cared enough to think of him when he woke up. he pulled out of his complex and began to type a message.

joba: this made me smile. good morning matty.

matt: no offense but i hate when people call me matty but when u say it it makes my heart sing.

joba: awwwww!

matt: i dont have a nickname for u i need one.

matt: jobie!

joba: i cant even begin to tell you how much that makes me cringe, but if it makes you happy lol

matt: it makes me very happy.

matt: u arent driving right now are u????

joba chuckled and typed up one last message.

joba: i am but im gonna actually focus on driving so i dont die haha i'll text you when i get to school

matt: good boy.

something about matt's final text made joba's heart flutter in his chest. he drove just a little faster so he could get to school to text matt again. he was a man of his word and the second he parked his truck in a spot, he whipped out his phone and read matt's text.

matt: hey idk if ur down but do u wanna go get dinner or something later. not like a date or anything just to chill lol we could get wings or something idc

joba grinned.

joba: of course! its kinda greasy but can we get whataburger i haven't had it in so long and im DYING to have a monterey melt

matt: im so glad u asked i legit want a burger so badly lmaoooo

joba: cool. so i'll pick you up at like 5?

matt: sounds good. i gotta go to class so i'll text you later jobie

joba sighed and climbed out of his truck and made his way to him and his friends' usual meeting spot by the benches in front of the school. "there you are!" merlyn shouted, gesturing towards the lanky blond. "i thought you weren't comin' again! i was about to come to your house and drag you here." he laughed.
