Jake took in the all-too familiar scent of mozzarella and garlic bread, Rich snickering at his actions. They ambled up to the cashier, who lost the look of boredom in her eyes upon seeing Jake. "Hello, sir~" She cooed, twirling a piece of her hair between her fingers.

Rich could see the boy grow noticeably uncomfortable, giving a forced smile. "Uhm, can we have 2 slices of Hawaiian?" Her lips curved into a smile  as she stalked away towards the back of the counter.

Jake let his smile drop, allowing it to form one of distaste, like he had a sour taste on the tip of his tongue. Rich gave him a reassuring pat on the shoulder, instantly causing the shorter boys smile to return. When the woman came back, she handed them a pizza box, a few numbers scrawled on top of it.

They paid for their food and went to go find seats outside the store, preferably far away from her.

~Timeskip~

The two sat on the edge of the fountain, laughing about something Jake said. "No Dude, that thoundth like thomething thraight people would do." Jake paused momentarily, choking on his pizza. Rich burst into laughter, but it quickly subsided when he saw the stare Jake gave him.

"What ith it?" Jake blinked twice, "your.. not straight?" The boys face fell white as he processed what he was asked. "Oh. Uhm, no, I'm- I'm bi." There was a moment of tense silence before Jake wrapped the small boy in a bone crushing hug. "it's.. It's cool."

Rich took a moment before hesitantly hugging back. This wasn't their usual 'hetbro hug™.' It was heartfelt. Rich nuzzled his face in the crook of Jakes neck to test the waters, not giving any sign of rejection.

"Ey, gays." Michael slid next to them, Jeremy awkwardly taking a seat beside him, his face flushed and his hair askew. "What's with him?" Rich asked pointing to Jeremy, who looked down quickly. "Michael don't you fucking dar-"

"WE WERE BEHIND 7/11 AND HE SUCKE-" Jeremy clamped his hand around the others mouth. Jake bursted out into laughter as Rich shamefully slid him a $5 bill.

"Oh, that reminds me." Jake snapped his fingers in realization, "Michael I need to talk to you." He followed the taller boy a few feet away from the fountain. Jake took a deep breath, looking noticeably embarrassed for asking this.

"Alright so.. I kind of, maybe, possibly wanna ask Rich out sometime next week?" Michael smirked knowingly, pushing his glasses up to his nose. He pulled out a list on his phone, handing it to Jake who's eyes widened. "I can't do this!" The Filipino scoffed dramatically.

"Sure you can!"
