"You just gotta say the words, And."

Andy's POV
"Just say 'I love you?'" I asked.

He nodded, and pulled me into a hug. Man, I was lucky to have a friend like Jack.

Rye's POV
"Just say, I love you," I heard my baby's voice coming from his room. I looked in to see what was going on. Jack nodded pulled Andy into him, hugging him. Andy wrapped his arms around Jack's neck, burying his face.

I left the room and went to my own. I plopped myself down on my bed and burrowed myself under the covers. I wanted my baby to cuddle me, but apparently he wanted Jack, not me.

I felt like crying. I wanted, and needed to cry. But I couldn't. I couldn't make myself cry. That's sort of a weird thing, I guess, trying to force yourself to cry. But crying really does make me feel better sometimes, and I knew I needed it.

I just lay there, buried far into my bed, thinking about Andy. I truly loved him, more than anything else in the world, and I had somehow convinced myself that he loved me, too. And even if he didn't, I never would have thought he would love someone else more.

I felt my bed dip beside me. "Hey, babe. Are you okay?" I heard Andy's voice.

"Nope," I said.

"Do you want to talk about it?" he asked.

"No, not really."

"Well, can we talk about something else? There's something I need to tell you."

"No, Andy. I just want to be alone, right now!" I snapped. I couldn't help it. I just really wasn't in the mood for my boyfriend to break up with me for Jack right now.

"Okay, that's fine. I'll see you later, babe," he said, standing up and leaving the room. I heard the door shut, and I lifted my head out from under the blankets.

He really had left, probably to Jack or something. Now, I had tears running down my face, finally able to cry.

Jack's POV
After I'd talked with Andy, he went to go tell Rye what he was feeling. Obviously, Andy would be all like 'I love you' and then Rye would be all like 'I love you, too' and then they would live happily ever after. It was obvious to everyone but them that they were totally, completely, undeniably, in love. Everyone knew, except for them. Idiots.

I went to go try to find Sonny and my boyfriend, first checking Sonny's room, as that's where they usually hang out. When they weren't in there, I checked Brook's room, and found them both sat playing Fortnite. I rolled my eyes, but went over and sat behind my boyfriend.

He immediately leaned back into me, resting his head on my shoulder. I wrapped my arms around his waist, and kissed his forehead.

"You wanna play, Jack?" Sonny asked, offering me his remote.

"I'll just watch," I told him, shaking my head.

"Love you, baby," Brook said, turning his head slightly and kissing my neck, before turning his attention right back to the game.

"Love you, too Brooky."

Not too long later, Andy walked into the room, not looking as happy as I would have thought, and definitely not with his boyfriend.

"Hey, what's up, And?" Sonny asked, scooting over and making room for Andy.

"Rye's tired, and wants to be alone, so I'm cuddle deprived," Andy said, making all of us chuckle.

"Alone?" I asked him.

"That's what he said. I asked if he wanted to talk and he said no, he would rather just be alone."

"Well, you can always hang out with us," Brook offered.

"Thanks, Brooky," Andy said, ruffling Brook's hair.

"Anytime, And."

Andy ended up between Sonny and Brook, his head resting on Sonny's shoulder, with me cuddling into Brook from behind.

Eventually Brook handed off the controller to Andy. Him and Sonny played for awhile while me and Brook just cuddled.

Andy's POV
I was kind of hurt that Rye didn't want to talk, but I let him have some space, as it was obviously what he needed. I knew he was upset, and hell, he even confirmed it earlier, but I had no idea why.

Jack and Brook ended up, somehow, falling asleep cuddling while me and Sonny screamed and shouted at the TV while playing.

Sonny eventually got bored, and asked me if I wanted to stop playing. I agreed, and we went downstairs, leaving Brook and Jack alone to sleep.

"What's up with you and Rye lately?" Sonny asked.

"I'm not sure, really. And it hasn't even been 'lately' it's only really been today," I told him.

"What do you mean?"

"Like, earlier he snapped at Jack for cuddling up to me, which he almost never does. And then he didn't want me in the room with him when he was upset."

"Maybe he just needed alone time?" Sonny offered.

"Yeah, maybe. And I totally get that, but, I don't know, the whole thing just seemed off. Maybe it's just me. I'm probably over thinking it," I said.

"Yeah, probably," Sonny laughed. "Hey, weren't we supposed to go to studio today?"

"Yeah, but everyone else is sleeping. We can go after everyone wakes up," I said, and Sonny agreed.

Jack's POV
I woke up with a sleeping Brook on top of me. I ran my hand through his hair, and kissed all over his face to try to get him to wake up. It worked. He smiled down sleepily at me.

"Hey, you know I love you, and all, Brook, but please get off of me," I laughed.

"Sorry," Brook giggled, rolling off of me. He sat up, and I did the same.

"Come here," Brook said, pulling me toward him, crashing our lips together. I smiled into his lips.

"I love you, Brooky," I said, hugging him tightly to my chest.

"Love you, too Jack."

We sat there for awhile, not talking, just holding each other, before Brook said, "Hey, Jacky can we talk?"

"Of course baby. Anytime."

"Okay well, I've been thinking about this for awhile and I'm still not entirely sure how I feel or what it means but I want to talk to you about it but I don't want you to be mad," he said, all in one breath.

"Okay, baby, breathe," I told him. "Tell me how you're feeling, and we'll work it out together. I promise I won't get mad at you."

"Okay, well. I love you, I really do. But I feel like something's not working in our relationship."
