And They Were Roommates

Headphones

I sat at my desk mixing together a song I had made before I left Maryland. After we left In-N-Out I shut myself out from possibly communicating with Samuel. Personally, I was avoiding the possible question of if I'm gay.

I hate when people ask me that. I mean I'm fine with the LGBT community but I'm just not a part of it. When I was high school, everyone thought if there was one person to come out as gay, it would be me. I hated being the kid who looked gay. There's always one at your school and I happened to be the one.

I sat in the room with my headphones in. Thankfully he was gone for who knows why. All i know was that i was goad he was gone. Then, in the corner of my eye, Samuel enters the room and I can feel him lookingat me. "Hey, can you hear me?"

I could but I didn't want to respond. I tried to act like I didn't hear what he said but I couldn't help myself from stopping in my tracks. "I know you can hear me." Dammit.

I take off my headphones and look over to his direction, avoiding any sort of eye contact. "Yes?" My voice is soft as I try to keep my volume low and head down. A minute goes by causing me to look up a bit, focusing my view around his light pink lips.

"Listen, I understand if you don't want to talk but I really want to get to know you. I know it might be a bit awkward because I was checking you out a bit. What can I say you're an attractive guy. Listen, all I'm saying is can we start out fresh?"

I couldn't help myself but smile. This informed me on two things, if we ever have some complications he'll be upfront about it. I also learned that he's a rambler.

"You want to know me?" I grabbed the headphones from of the table and handed it to him. "I'll show you who I am if you really want to know." I say with a smile on my face that I can't hide.

He put the headphones on and took a seat next to me. I turned down the volume so it wouldn't blast in his ears. "I wrote this song on the flight here. I'm just trying to put it all together." I pressed play and waited for a reaction. His head was nodding along to the beat.

"I haven't recorded the lyrics yets so that's just the beat and melody of it. What do you think?" I realized that he probably couldn't here me but I felt the need to say it.

He placed the headphones around his neck and smiled. "You made this?" I simply nodded with a small smile on my face. "This slaps. It's definitely eye catching. Or should I say ear catching?"

I tried really hard not to let out a laugh but I couldn't hold it in. "Thought you'd like that one," he says before elbowing me playfully. I push him back and laugh knowing I have no chance against him.

"Do you have lyrics for it already?" He took off the headphones and had them lay on his firm shoulders. I can't help myself but look into his eyes again. This time, more confident and not frozen.

This time it felt comforting and safe in his eyes. Last time all I could think about was the end result of what could happen next. Now I knew we would be fine. Now I knew how perfect he was.

What?

Before my thoughts could catch up with my mind I felt lips plant on to mine. Without hesitation I kissed back. My body was in control and I think I liked it.

I soon felt a hand crawl up my neck and up to my hair. I couldn't help but do the same. I slowly moved my hand to graze his cheek and resting it on his neck.

We both jump apart as we hear banging on our door. Thank God he locked the door. Samuel stood up from the chair, cheeks bright red, and answered the door. I couldn't tell who it was with Samuel standing in front of the door but it was definitely a guy.

"There's a huge party that my brothers and I are throwing at the Sigma Pi house for Freshman. We're ultimately looking for new recruits and to have a good time. If you're not busy you and any of your friends should stop by." He sounded like a total frat boy so I wasn't surprised at what he said. Samuel gave him a simple response before closing the door.

This, this is what I was scared of at In-N-Out. The awkwardness after doing something I didn't think about. Surprisingly, it wasn't awkward. If anything it was the last thing I'd thought that would happen.

Samuel took off the headphones and placed them on my desk. Without second guessing himself, he grabbed me by the shirt up off the chair. He wraped his arms around my waist and I can't help but smile. I looked up at him through my eyelashes.

He tilts my head up to face him and smirks."Where were we?" He leans in to kiss me once again but this time I'm thinking instead of doing. "Samuel, I can't." I gently push him away. I can't help but keep my eyes down at the ground. I can feel his hold loosen until he's no longer holding me.

"What do you mean?" His voice was indescribable. I couldn't tell if he was upset or just sad. All I want to do is walk right out of the room but I know I can't do that, not now.

The room is silent. All you could hear is heavy breathing. "Hunter, I asked you something." This time he seemed more upset. I looked up at him but couldn't handle it. I didn't know what was happening to me.

"Samuel, I'm not gay."

__Authors Note__

Well that was a chapter. Didn't want to get too specific with this kiss. If you'd like me too I can change it but yeahhhhhh. What do you think? You still think Hunter isn't gay? What do you think will happen next?

Sorry this one is short. I wanted to have a cliffhanger. Anyway, off to write the next chapter. Hope you guys enjoyed. If you did don't forget to vote and leave a comment. All comments are welcomed.
