Jealous Is My Middle Name

{08} - Dinner

We arrive to my house. Scott and i walk inside and go straight to my room. I close the door behind us and we sit down on my bed.

"So... wanna play some video games?" I ask.

"Of course I do!" Scott responds. We both share a small followed by a chuckle. I stand and turn on my tv and PlayStation. I grab two controllers and sit back down on the bed.

"What do you wanna play?" I ask.

"Call of duty? We still need our rematch!" Scott says.

"Of course! Prepare to lose!" I say.

"Dream on! You are going down." Scott responds. Just then my dad walks in the room.

"Hey... Scott? Been a while since you've been here. Where's Rylee?" My dad asks.

"Rylee went home." I say.

"Hey sheriff." Scott says.

"Well it's a good thing you're here. I ordered pizza!" Dad says. Scott and I both smile at eachother. I stand up and pull my dad into a hug.

"Thanks dad!" I say. He pats me on the back and I pull away. I take a seat on the bed again.

"Yeah, I'll call out for you when it's here." Dad says. He walks away after closing the door.

"Pizza. Been while since we had pizza together." Scott chuckles.

"Yeah. Too long I must say." I respond.

I go into c.o.d black ops II on the PlayStation and we start playing free for all. Of course im kicking his ass! Like always.

"Boys! Pizzas here!" Dad calls out to us. Scott and I share a look before pausing our game and running to the kitchen. We sit down and my dad puts a box of pizza in front of us each.

Scott and I both open our boxes.

"Mmm pepperoni!" We both say in sync. My dad laughs at us before taking his own box with him to his room.

"Have fun boys." He says, closing his bedroom door. Scott and I dig into our pizza, enjoying every slice.

"So... Stiles... What did you and Rylee talk about?" Scott asks, his mouth full with pizza.

"Oh, um we talked about... feelings?" I respond. I probably sound so unconvincing right now.

"Like, your feelings or his?" Scott asks.

"Uh mine. Mainly mine." I say.

"Why yours?" Scott says.

"I don't know. Long story short we broke up." I say.

"Woah really? Is that why he isn't here right now?" Scott asks.

"Yeah, thats partially the reason." I say, not lying at all. The other reason, of course, being that I'm in love with you Scotty. But I would never tell you that. I'm not going to ruin our friendship all cause of some stupid feelings. "Hey, what about you and Allison?" I ask.

"I haven't spoken to her since the incident." Scott responds. Thank God! I couldn't bare to see them constantly making out.

"So you are not getting back together?" I ask.

"Oh god no. I would never. Especially if she hurt you like that." He says.

"So you would rather me over her?" I ask.

"Yes of course! Stiles, you are my best friend. I would never choose anyone over you." He says. I give him a smile wh9ch he returns.

"Thanks Scotty." I say ruffling his hair a little.

"Wait a minute. Why did you and Rylee break up?" Scott asks. I look down at the table. I'm not gonna tell him why. That would make for a very awkward car ride home.

"Uhh, as I said... We were talking about feelings. I like someone else, and he figured that out for me basically. He told me that he doesn't care who I'm with, just as long as I'm happy and we're still friends." I respond.

"Oh, well that's good I suppose. Who do you like?" Scott asks.

"Um well... you will know in due time. Maybe." I respond, my heart beating faster. Scott should have noticed. He did. He furrows his eyebrows at me. I can feel my face burning up and my heartbeat getting faster.

"Stiles? Are you okay?" Scott asks.

"Wh-what? Yeah- I'm fine.." I respond skittish. "J-just,, give me a minute." I stand up from my seat and run to the bathroom.

Well that went well. Totally didn't give away my feelings at all. Fucking great. I just hope then if he ever does find out... he doesn't ignore me for the rest of our lives.

"Stiles,, you okay in there?" Scott yells out through the door. I turn on the sink and splash my face with water.

"Yeah! I'm fine." I yell back.

"Stiles. Do you like me?" Scott asks. My eyes widen. How the hell! I feel my face burning up again, and my heartbeat speeds up. "You don't have to be scared of what I'll think Stiles. I just need to know if it's true."

"I-i-" I stutter. I don't know what to say. "Scott i-"

"Please open the door." Scott says. I listen. I walk to the door and open it. I didn't even notice that I was crying. "Stiles! Are you okay?" A tear rolls down my cheek. Scott wipes it away. He pulls me into a tight hug. My heartbeat slows down a little.

"Ho-how did you-" I start. Scott understands what I mean.

"So it is true?" He says pulling away from the hug, leaving his hands on my shoulder. I nod my head slightly.

"But how?" I ask.

"Rylee. I um... i may have overhesrd you talking in the woods." Scott replies.

"You did!? Oh god." I say bringing my hands up to my face and covering my face.

"Stiles." Scott says, moving my hands away from my face.

"Yeah?" I ask.

"Why didn't you just tell me?" Scott says.

"Cause i-i... I didn't want to ruin our friendship with my feelings." I reply, looking down at the ground. "And you were with Allison. You were so happy with her. You probably didn't even notice but whenever you were with her you ignored me a lot."

"I noticed... Allison told me to. She said either I spend my whole day with her or she would dump me. I'm so sorry for leaving you behind. But thats part of the reason why we broke up! We had a huge fight a about it." Scott responds.

"Wait... really?" I ask.

"Yes! She actually dumped me... I didn't dump her. Another reason why is because... well because I told her that I'm bisexual."

"You are? Wait what?!"

"I am. Stiles you are the reason I'm bi. I like you Stiles." I feel my heartbeat speed up again.

"Why didn't YOU tell me?" I ask.

"Same reason you didn't. I never wanted to ruin what we had. But when I heard you talking to Rylee I knew I had to tell you." Scott says. I pull him into another hug, never wanting it to end. He chuckles a little before hugging me back.
