Figuring it Out (A Rickian Story)

A Little Romance Part 1

Kian's POV

I tried to find Connor all day but he is elusive. He and JC took Trevor shopping for a while. He's also on a fitness craze so he went for a run and I was not volunteering to do that with him. Then he went and filmed a video for Monday while Trevor and I played Wii games.

Finally he came down to go in the hot tub and I followed him out back. I did something weird and actually spent a few seconds looking at Connor's body including his shirtless chest. Really, I kinda want to know if I might be gay. I stared for a few moments, but no, nothing like I feel looking at Ricky. Connor is fit but, it's Connor...I burst out laughing.

"First your staring at me and then you start laughing. Do I have something on my chest?" He asks.

"Sorry Con, to be honest I was just trying to see if I felt any attraction to you. I'm trying to figure out this gay thing."

"And you started laughing at me? I haven't let myself go that much." He says kind of defensively.

"No. Actually you look great. Whoever you are dating is lucky. I just realized how dumb it was to see if I was attracted to you. It's all Ricky for me I'm afraid."

"So are you getting in?" He asks as he sinks down in the hot tub.

"Not wearing a suit." I respond.

"Like that's ever stopped you before. Maybe I want to check you out too." He winks at me. I love flirty Connor. This is going to be a fun chat. I strip to my boxers and jump in, splashing Connor a little.

"So I want to ask you about my plans with Ricky. I think he would like something dressy but beachy and maybe a nice restaurant too." I say.

"I think Ricky would like anything that involves new clothes and there aren't too many dressy items in your closet. Why don't you do a two part date. Take Ricky shopping to a nice dressy casual place tomorrow afternoon and let him pick you both out new outfits. Then, the following day do a restaurant near the beach and play on the beach or pier for the evening. I can call my sister and asks for suggestions."

I like Connor's plan. I'm going to add another part I think Ricky will like as well. "Great ideas Con. Ricky will like it. Thanks for the help with the restaurant. Anything I can do for you?"

"Yeah, I'm stiff from my run and could use a massage." He responds still flirty. I see an opportunity.

"Oh? And who do you wish was here giving you the massage?" I say with a smile.

"Nice try Keen! I promise I will tell you as soon as we can. Those massages are unbelievable by the way." He responds, grinning at me.

I splash him and get out, running past a confused looking Trevor in my boxers.

I tell Ricky about our plans before bed.

Ricky's POV, the next day

I wake up cuddled next to Kian as usual, for the 10th day in a row. I've never slept in the same bed with someone for so many nights in a row. I am excited for the day, even though it is Monday. I roll away from Kian and check my phone. I see tweets from Connor that even though I knew they were coming, I am just not ready to see.

"New main channel video: Missing Sam and Loving My Friends (link). @sampottorff I love you."

"New O2L video: My favorite Sam Video. @sampottorff I love you."

I am happy Connor did an O2L video. It means he is not gone yet from O2L and maybe he will stay with us for while. We agreed to do a simple first week back to making videos, just a brief introduction to our favorite videos that Sam made. I helped film both of Connor's videos for him. It was two hours of both of us trying not to cry, me behind the camera and him in front of it.
