Thomas made sure Penny didn't catch him when he got home. Especially with the fact that he'd made sexual jokes while Thomas jacked off to him at the same time they were talking. James had accompanied him home and would stay for a few hours. It was just after 5 pm. The two sat in Thomas' room, Thomas on the edge of his bed, twiddling his thumbs and tapping his foot. James just watched him.
"So?"
Thomas looked up at him, "I don't know... should I text him?"
James shrugged and crossed his arms, "That's all up to you."
"It's just... it will probably be hella awkward, because now he knows I call him Penny and when we last spoke he probably knew I was, you know."
"So, is that a bad thing?" James wondered. Thomas inhaled.
"I don't know, James. I don't fucking know."
James was about to say something when the doorbell went. He frowned, "Who's that?" He wondered. Thomas shrugged and looked at his watch.
"No idea. Hold on, it might be my sister. She's meant to drop something off for me. I'll be back," he sighed, getting up. James nodded and let him go.
Thomas walked down the stairs then towards the front door, opening it, rolling his eyes as the bell went again.
"Martha, it's pretty rude to ke--" he cut himself off when he realised that it wasn't, indeed, Martha who was at the door. He just blinked, dumbfounded.
"Wrong timing, monsieur?" He asked. Thomas opened his mouth, but said nothing. Penny tilted his head,
"Okay, that's fine. I can come back tomo-"
"NO," Thomas cut in, Penny raising his eyebrows, "I m-m-mean, not no- I m-mean... stay- don't go- I'm just- I was just-"
"Thomas," James called, joining him at the door, "is everything o--" he cut himself off when he saw who Thomas was speaking to. The two men immediately caught one another's eye, both staring at each other as if staring into a mirror.
"James?" Penny questioned. James shrugged.
"Pff- guess so."
Thomas watched as the scene unfolded. He was hella lost, but this connection fascinated him. Penny chuckled and looked down then back up.
"Are you being serious?"
James just shrugged, a half smile.
"Seems so."
Penny chuckled, "Sacré bleu," he then looked to Thomas, "monsieur, you did not tell me you and James knew one another."
Thomas looked at Penny then looked at James.
"James didn't tell me he knew you..."
James just smiled and shrugged,
"You didn't tell me you were Penny," he laughed, "that makes so much sense now."Penny laughed too, "I did not know you knew Penny existed, mon ami!"
The two of them laughed, Thomas still confused as all hell.
"O-okay, what the fuck is going on?" He wondered. Penny looked to him and smiled,
"Will you let me inside, monsieur?"
Thomas nodded and he and James made way for Penny to walk in, James shutting the door behind him. He looked at his surroundings.
"Nice place, monsieur," he complimented, winking at Thomas who failed to conceal his blush. But he nodded,
