Kleinsen-Totally Freaking Out Here

Long overdue oneshot requested by Bugiie

TW: kinda panicking? Little bit of anxiety, but I promise it's all good!!!!!

Evan had to leave.

Like now.

He couldn't stand being at the Kleinman's house any longer. His mind felt fuzzy, and he couldn't string together words to form a sentence. His heart was beating fast, and his breaths were shallow. He gripped the edge of the chair he was sitting in.

Why did he even go to this stupid pool party anyways? It's not like Jared invited him. His mom was friends with Jared's moms, Charlotte and Cordelia, so he was basically forced to go.

And the worst thing was that Cordelia can't even cook anything! It's like she hasn't touched a cookbook, like, at all.

Evan got up from his chair outside. It was way to hot for it to be May. Evan looked at the pool. Jared's sister, Natalie, was floating on a plastic watermelon, reading Pride and Prejudice. (AN: has anyone read that book? It's amazing, and I've read it like three times. It makes my inner feminist go crazy)

Evan opened the screen door, and stepped inside the house. Jared's house was big. He had been invited several times for pool parties, Hanukkah, Jared's Bar Mitzvah, or just to hang out and do homework. He went down a hallway and into a bathroom. He slowly opened the door.

Jared stood in the bathroom, his hands gripping the rim of the sink. Were his hands shaking? Wait...is he crying?

"Are you okay?" Evan asked. Jared quickly looked up at him, wiping his eyes under his glasses. His eyes were red and puffy, probably because he had been crying.

"I mean, yeah." Jared snuffed. "Do you know how great my life is?"

"It's gonna be okay," Evan attempted to soothe Jared, even though he was freaking out too.

"I mean, your life is perfect. You're the cute one, and you don't ever have to worry about-"

"My life?" Evan asked. "You...you think my life is great?"

"Yeah. At least you like living in yours."

"I only have one parent. You have two moms. My father left when I was eight, but hey, it's alright. I got stood up by one of my crushes, I can't sleep for God's sake, and I can't fucking deal with my own problems, so I see a psychiatrist every week," Evan said in one breath.

"Wow."

"I'm sorry for just dumping all that on-"

"How did you break your arm, Evan?" Jared asked. Evan bit his lip. Jared knew instantly. "Oh my god, Evan."

"I'm sorry."

"No..." Jared's eyes filled up with tears. "You didn't."

"Jar-"

"I'm so sorry." Jared grabbed ahold of Evan's hands. "I wish I could have been there."

"No-it's okay. Really." Evan lifted Jared's face with one of his hands. "I didn't know you care this much."

"I'm so sorry," Jared said, a tear sliding down his face. Evan wiped it with his finger. "I can't just assume stuff anymore."

"You're okay. It's all okay."

"No it's not! Can I just say something? For the longest time...nevermind. I shouldn't."

"No, keep going. I'm here to listen."

"You'll hate me."

"I could never hate you, Jared," Evan said, squeezing his hands.

Jared sighed. "For the longest time, I thought you weren't straight. I know. It's so stupid, because I see how you look at Zoe or anyone-"

"I'm not straight," Evan said, although Jared was talking and he didn't hear him.

"And I thought you would like me." Jared's eyes widened. "Wait...you're not?"

"Nope."

Jared felt his heart race. "So I was right?"

Evan didn't know how to answer him with words. So he pulled Jared into a kiss. Jared closed his eyes, savoring the moment. Jared was totally freaking out, even though he was calm. You know, like a good freaking out. Like the freaking out you experience when you find out that you got tickets to your favorite concert or broadway show.

"Was that too much? I mean, I don't even know if you're straight or not-" Evan was cut off. Jared had pulled him into another kiss, this one better than the last. They separated, and everything felt fine.

"And for the record, I'm not straight either," Jared said. He and Evan walked hand-in-hand to his room to play video games.

Whew I wrote this in one sitting.

Stay snazzy!!! I'll have some Treebros soon!!!!! 😊💄🐾
