(3rd Person POV.)

[ ForthBeam + Aei - Dinner ]

💎

"So, when'd you two meet?" Aei asked as they sat down to eat dinner.

"Year and a half ago, Beam OD'ed and Pha came over to borrow the box to save Beam," Forth said.

"I don't remember that at all but ok," Beam said.

"You weren't sober when we first met, the only time I had ever seen you sober was that night on the balcony in Ming's room," Forth said and Beam looked confused.

"Anything before rehab I honestly don't remember too well," Beam said and stole one of Aei's french fries 🍟.

"True, Forth do you have a criminal past?" Aei was 100% serious with all of his questions.

"Yeah, just shoplifting twice in high school," Forth said and Beam was shocked.

"Goody-twoshoes was a badboy?" Beam looked at Forth who just kinda laughed.

"Not exactly," Forth said and was a bit nervous.

"Explain more, I need details," Aei said and ate more fries.

"My brother and I lived alone, we barely had money so I would go to grocery stores and steal food for us, it worked for a couple years till I turned 17 and finally got caught twice," Forth said.

"You don't have a criminal record, you were just trying to survive. Beam did the same thing for us," Aei said and Beam nodded.

"I'd rather not talk about it though," Beam said and both Aei and Forth nodded.

"Next question. How many people have you dated and/or slept with?" Aei asked and Beam just face palmed, Forth just laughed at Beam's reaction.

"Not counting Beam. Two people, dated one, slept with the other," Forth said and Aei stared at him for a couple seconds to make sure he was telling the truth.

"Serious?" Aei asked.

"Serious." Forth said and Aei smiled.

"At least he's not scared of me, I felt bad making Wayo and that one guy cry last time,"  Aei said to Beam who just gave a look saying change the subject. Now.

"Anyway, Forth, how long was your longest relationship and how did it end? Was it your fault?" Aei asked, Forth took a moment to think before answering.

"Longest was 3 years, he cheated on me, no it wasn't my fault that we ended, and that's all I'm gonna say about him," Forth said and Aei nodded.

"I don't wanna ask this but Jo made a bet with me to ask, how many times have you two fucked? Ew. Im cringing and I don't wanna know the answer," Aei said and made a disgusted face.

And Beam, just to mess with his brother, answered.

"Five times," Beam said and laughed while Aei freaked out and cringed. Then Forth thought about it.

"More than that... Or do we not talk about---"

"We don't talk about that one, and the one after that one, those never happened," Beam said and Forth nodded agreeing.

"Do I wanna know what happened? No... Don't Answer that. Please don't answer that," Aei said and Beam laughed again.

"Are you or have you ever been, a fuck-boy or a player?" Aei asked reading questions from Jo off his phone.

"Kind of, I flirted with everyone between middle and high school but never actually slept around or did anything more than a couple dates," Forth said and Beam looked at him shocked.

"You were an innocent-fuckboy too?" Beam asked and Forth was confused.

"Beam used to do the same thing, until he met him. Then he stopped, they broke up Beam went back to flirting around, then met Wayo and stopped, then they split and Beam's been single and boring ever since," Aei said and Beam nodded.

"Wow,"

"Last question. Do you love Beam? And BE HONEST WITH YOUR ANSWER," Aei said and Beam blushed while Forth took a second to answer.

"Honestly, yeah, I'm starting to fall for him," Forth said and looked over at Beam who pulled his hood up and over his face to hide.

"Aww! Ok, you're perfect for Beam, I'll leave you two alone, text me when it's time to leave," Aei said and got up and went over to a group of high school kids that were there too.

"What just happened?" Forth asked

"Aei approves of you," Beam mumbled and Forth just smiled and hugged Beam.
