"Harper I don't know what to do" Andy whined combing his fingers through Harpers hair. Harper had found out that when Andy was nervous, he liked to tug at his hair so Harper let him play with his hair saving Andy from early baldness.
"Just tell him Andy. You've been super close in a more than friends way since you met" Harper said while yawning. Andy just had the best fingers for hair massages. His hands were super soft and baby sized basically with fairly small fingers.
"When are you gonna tell Sonny huh?" Andy asked taking his hands out of Harper's hair and allowing him to sit up much to Harper's dismay."This isn't about me and sonshine, this is about you and your bumblebee" Harper stated glaring at Andy.
This always happened when the two stayed at eachothers house. Andy would complain about his feelings for Rye and how he hadn't noticed his hints and Harper would always tell him to just talk to him. Andy would then turn the table and talk about him and sonny always trying to turn the attention away from him.
"His nickname is Honey not Bumblebee you idiot" Andy said which got him a pillow to the face. Andy hit Harper back with a pillow until it was an all out pillow war. The two were laughing and having a great time and for once he wasn't thinking about Rye.
He wasn't thinking about if he loved him back or not he was having fun and that made him happy for the short amount of time. "Look Andy you'll never know if he feels the same way if you dont at least try" Harper said holding his hand "And if he says he doesn't feel the same I'll always be a shoulder you can cry on" He said before giving Andy a small smile.
Andy smiled back then laid his head on Harpers shoulder and sighed. "You know I'm always here for you too right?" Andy said looking up at Harper with his big blue eyes. Harper nodded staring into Andy's eyes. Harper wont deny that Andy was beautiful.
Everything about him was beautiful but Harper's heart belonged to a certain emo boy who's beauty was indescribable. Harper absolutely loved sonny the moment he laid eyes on him in the second grade. They had been through everything together and always had eachothers back.
They had nicknames for each other just like Andy and Rye did. Sonny called Harper goldie because of his beautiful long hair and because of his golden and joyful vibe that causes Sonny to have a never fading smile on his face and Harper called him sonshine, not only because his name was Sonny but because he made Harpers life so much brighter.
When Harper had started realizing that he had feelings for sonny that couldn't be described as 'friendly' anymore, he needed someone to talk to and Andy was that person. Ever since the dance, the two had been spending alot of time together trying to sort out feelings and what not toward their best friends which caused them to spend less time with their best friends but what could they do?
They couldn't exactly tell them what they were feeling if what they were feeling was about them. "Ugh I hate feelings" Andy said then dramatically fell back onto his bed. "Same" Harper said before copying Andy.
Rye had been in his room all day. He didn't eat lunch. He didn't eat breakfast and he sure as hell wasn't going to eat dinner. He couldn't get Adams words out of his head. He couldn't get his own words out of his head.
He wanted to believe that it wasn't possible for him to be in love with Andy. Rye wasn't gay, he couldn't be. How was he gay if he had a girlfriend. Yeah, he felt nothing toward her but he still thought she was beautiful.
Rye completely overlooked the possibility of being bi claiming there was no need to even think about it because he liked girls and girls only. "I like girls and girls only" Rye repeated through his head everyday. His brain chanted it at him when he saw Andy smile. His brain chanted it when he heard Andy sing.
His brain chanted it when he heard Andy laugh. His brain chanted it when Andy gave him a hug. His brain continued to chant it when Andy had kissed him on the cheek. Everytime Andy did something rye thought was adorable, the chanting continued and got louder and louder trying to convince him that he liked girls and girls only.
So why did Rye want to murder Mikey when he kissed Andy on the cheek. They were sitting at a lunch table together like they use to but added Sonny and Harper to it. Mikey and Andy were playing a game on Mikeys phone. Jack and Brook were talking and joking around.
Rye had no problem with Harper being there because he wasnt close to Andy and was having a nice conversation with sonny, not even glancing Andy's way too distracted by the boy beside him. Rye turned to ask Andy a question when Mikey had suddenly yelled in victory grabbing Andy by the face and kissing his cheeks repeatedly.
Andy giggled and hugged Mikey around the neck only making Rye angry. He knew they had that sort of friendship, heck they all did except Harper and Sonny, they had their own weird friendship. He'd been kissed multiple times by the other boys and so did Andy So he didnt know why he suddenly was angry about it but he was.
So rye got up, confusing all the boys at the table, and moved to a new table. One that was full of girls including his gorgeous girlfriend Jenna. Jenna told one of her friends to move down so Rye could sit there. She happily got up giggling with the rest of the girls and chattering about how 'cute of a couple' they were.
Jenna hugged rye from the side and placed her head on his shoulder. All the girls at the table "awwed" and Rye looked down at his girlfriend. She was turned toward the girl she had asked to move and talking about some sale at some mall, Rye wasn't really listening he was staring at the side of her face.
If someone had been watching, they would've thought that Rye was admiring how beautiful she was but actually rye was imagining another blue eyed blondie in his girlfriend's place and that very thought seemed to have made something click in his mind. He was in love with his best friend, his little petal. He was in love with Andrew Robert Fowler.
