The Fic Where Stephen Realizes He's Gay From a Picnic

Day 15 Part 1

Stephen awakes in bed, he's slow to wake up at first, until he remembers last night. He really fell asleep hugging Hosuh. He's never going to let himself live this down. Stephen immediately goes to his phone to text Hosuh how sorry he is, just to see Hosuh already texted him. Oh boy.

4:12AM

Hosuh the art slave

For when you wake up I'm surprised that you were so tired that you fell asleep during a hug if I knew you were that tired I would've left you be lol

8:34AM

Me

OH MY GOD I AM SORRY

Hosuh the art slave

It's okay!!!

Me

But I was supposed to be listening to you and I just FELL ASLEEP

Hosuh the art slave

There wasn't really anything left to say anyway, it's okay!

Hosuh smiles at his phone in amusement from Stephen's unexpected response. Stephen's not really one to be so loud about his feelings, especially over text. Stephen's a quiet guy in general, so maybe that's part of why he decided to go to him to vent. Other than the fact that Hosuh feels the closest to Stephen than anyone else, that is. Stephen has seen a lot of sides of him, and it sounds a little scary that he's given that much of himself, but nevermind that. Stephen knows him better than anyone else.

Hosuh feels a dip in the couch's cushion behind him, so he cranes his head around to see the green-haired Daniel, who donned a smug look. "While you're talking to him, tell him that we're going to the zoo with Ann and Joe, will you?" Hosuh lets out a snicker and turns back to his phone to relay the message, "You're weird,"

Me

Oh btw apparently we're going to the zoo I just heard about this.

Stephen

Punch Dan for me.

Me

Aye aye captain

"Wait, no," Daniel says behind him, laughing. Hosuh laughs a bit himself, "Are we actually going to the zoo?" and turns his head toward the voice that follows, "Yeah! We need animal therapy after exams," Hosuh nods with a light laugh.

"Oh, I still need to punch you," Hosuh gets up from where he sat on the couch, phone in one hand, and his other raised. "No!" Dan flees. "Stephen said so! I'm not strong enough to bruise you!" Hosuh doesn't chase after him despite saying that, and instead retreats upstairs to his room to make himself look a little more alive. The braid got good reactions last time, Dan said it looked nice, Jay said it made him look less of a mess, Ann said it was cute, (despite himself denying it, resulting in Ann telling Hosuh to learn how to just take a compliment,) but Stephen didn't comment on it. Maybe he could try something else to see if he gets Stephen's attention...
