Beneath the Clouds

The Great Disappointment

It all started when Phoenix (Freak) was narrating our lives again. A habit he had picked up from Diana, about a month ago. Don't get me wrong, he can make really detailed sentences but it gets annoying at some point. Scottie being his best friend, took it upon himself to get Freak to stop.

"If you keep doing that, I'll cut your bloody throat, ya hear me??" Scottie threatened. Obviously, we knew he wouldn't because he secretly has the biggest heart in our friend group. Knowing this, Phoenix laughed and turned his attention back to his guitar.

"Be nice, would ya?" Viktor signed at us as he climbed into the tent. "You'll scare him one of these days,".

"Oh he'll be fine, the last time Freak was actually scared, it was when Melony sent him that spooky text,". I look over at him and his face is completely red. Guess he hadn't told them yet. Oops.

Scottie caught on first.

"There somethin you're not tellin us Freak?" he said teasingly to Freak.

Viktor came second.

"Melony said what exactly? What could be that bad, it made YOU of all people scared?" Viktor was mute, but all of the emotions in the sentence could be read on his face. Freak began to panic. He mumbled out words and fiddled with his guitar. You can always tell when he's flustered because he'll become silent and look away. Adorable really. But Viktor is hot, so he wins. Fuck, i'm gay.

If you haven't noticed or weren't there, Viktor has a crush on Freak. Who doesn't? Freak has a crush on Scottie (you both are going to kill me), and I have a crush on Viktor. Pathetic I know, but he's my best friend and I wouldn't have it any other way. Scottie is straight, therefore doesn't like any of us. What a shame too, he has a nice ass.

Anyways, back to the tent. I invited a couple of my friends over for a birthday sleepover and nobody but my four best buds could make it. To be honest, I think this is going to be one of my favorite birthdays ever. Suddenly Freak yells out in what I assume to be pain. I look over and Scottie is sitting on his braced leg. His prosthetic kneecap was probably stabbing him to death.

"ARE YOU DATING MELONY??" he screamed at the smaller boy. Freak laughed in pain and attempted to push him off, but only made Scottie's evil smile widen. I sighed at them and turned to face Viktor. He was staring at them intently, knowing Scottie wouldn't budge until Freak had confessed. Worried about his little boyfriend I guess. Wait, what kind of thought is that? I sounded so mean...is this jealousy? Ah fuck.

"Okay, okay...she asked me if I was single a couple days ago and I replied with a risque comment," he said.

"Tell me more, or I won't get off," Scottie said in his serious voice. Viktor looked a bit worried, so I reached over and grabbed his hand. He turned to me and smiled, after blushing like hell. I turn back and Freak is smiling smugly at Scottie, who was across the tent, breathing heavily.

"What did you do to him babe?" I asked Phoenix, knowing that he was a sneaky little shit.

"I threatened to grab his dick if he didn't get off, and he didn't believe me," everyone in the tent started laughing really hard, except for the boy who was just harassed. He was trying to calm his steaming face.

"What's it like to grab your boyfriends dick, huh?" I asked, teasing the both of them.

"It's smaller than I thought it would be," he replied surprisingly confident. Though I can't blame him, if I were to grab Viktor's, I would probably. . . never mind, I should stop thinking about that. But it's so tempting just to picture all the things I could do to him, all scenarios ending in him blushing really hard. Oh fuck I'm gay. My wonderful thoughts are interrupted when Scottie's aunt comes into the tent to give us the last of the blankets.
