'Polar opposites' ~ Minizerk

Chapter 13 - Boyfriend

Simon's POV:

I wake up and feel Josh's arms around my body. I tighten my grip around his waist.

"Morning" He said

"I didn't realise you were awake" I said

"Yep" He said and kissed the top of my head "come on let's go and have breakfast"

We walked down stairs his hand wrapped around mine

"Morning mom, morning Noah" He said taking a seat at the kitchen table. I sat next to him feeling slightly awkward. I'd never met his mom or brother before and I was aware of how much of a mess I looked.

"Morning Honey, who's this?" She asked I then became aware of the fact that I got here really late last night, she didn't know I was here and I looked a mess. I'm also a guy and Josh is gay which I'm pretty sure she was aware of. It looked a tad weird that's all I'm saying.

"This is Simon" he said. We all ate with little conversation.

Josh's POV:

"So why is he here and when did he get here?"

"Well I was down here at like 11 last night and I was about to go to bed but he knocked on the door so I invited him in. He's my best and only friend and he was upset"

"Is that why I heard crying from the hallway at like half past?" She asked

"Yeah I took him to the bathroom" I said trying not to give anything away about what happened

"Why was he upset?"

"Just some family stuff" I answered

"Sooooooo, you said best friend, but is he just that?" She asked smiling

"Well I want him to be my boyfriend and I know he likes me but I'm literally the only person who knows he's gay and he only told me yesterday but I haven't asked him yet"

*Meanwhile upstairs*

Simon's POV:

I went upstairs to his room whilst he talked to his mom presumably about me.

I heard a knock on the door before I saw Noah enter. He was 3 years younger than us (14) I think.

"Hi" I said slightly awkward but still as confident as my usual self

"Hi, when did you get here?" He asked. I suppose I had to expect this

"Late last night" I answered

"How come?" He asked

"I was upset and Josh is my best friend so I wanted to talk to him, sorry if I woke you" I said

"No it's fine you didn't. I know you said he's your best friend but I saw you holding hands on the way down stairs this morning. Are you his boyfriend?"

"Well I want to be" I said "And I think he wants me to be but I only told him last night that I was gay"

"Wait I know who you are you're like the most popular guy in school" he said

I started to panic, was he going to tell people what I had just said

"Okay Noah, out now, if you tell anyone anything he just said I'll snap your neck" Josh said walking in

"I wasn't going to don't worry" He said obviously knowing Josh was joking but also knowing that there was some truth in it

"Did you hear what I said?" I asked my cheeks tinted red

"I might have heard the last bit" He said smiling at me "Therefore Simon Minter will you be my boyfriend?" He asked

"I would love to" I said kissing him once again
