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

Day 39

Stephen wakes up a little confused as to why he's in Hosuh's bed and soon enough a bit embarrassed since he's holding Hosuh so close. Stephen untangles himself from Hosuh who thankfully didn't stir, and realizes his phone isn't in here. He grabs Hosuh's phone off the night stand to check the time, 7:04AM, and sets it back where it was. He doesn't want to be around when Hosuh wakes up, if he were still cuddling Hosuh like that he'd pronounce himself done for. He silently exits the room, closing the door behind him, and goes back to his own room. He grabs his phone off the nightstand, checking to see there weren't any messages he missed. He notices Torchy isn't on his bed. Did he leave Torchy with... Oh. The gears in Stephen's head start to turn as he tries to relay the events last night. They went to the party, he remembers seeing Joe, Dan escaped to hang out with Jay, Hosuh had a little too much and started playing hide and seek with him... He remembers there were messages, he navigates through his phone to those.

It starts to get a little blurry from here, but he notices that the groupchat had some messages from last night and his brain immediately remembers where he received the messages and when he received the messages. His heart stops. Everything seems to stop. He feels like he's in a state of limbo, and it's cold. He remembers what happened, and it hits him in the gut. Stephen lowers himself to the floor, using his mattress as support. He tries to think about what he should do, should he act like it never happened? But what if Hosuh knows it happened? If Hosuh didn't know it happened wouldn't he be mad if Stephen cracked and told him about it many many days later? He could try communicating with Hosuh to maybe figure out what to do from this, but Stephen would never be able to find his words since he's the worst at communicating his feelings. But that's the thing, he remembers Hosuh saying he loved him last night. Heck, Stephen even said it back! It's a lot to take in and he's sure Hosuh is expecting some conversation now, but Stephen just can't. Warm tears start falling down his face as he chokes and sputters on his breaths. What the hell is he to do?

He wipes an eye with the back of his hand, pulling it back to see colors upon it. I guess he forgot to take off the make-up. He might as well get it off now as a little distraction. Standing despite his legs shaking a little as a way to say no, he heads to the bathroom and stared at the mess in the mirror for a couple seconds. He eyes the black smudges on and around his lips before grabbing some toilet paper, wetting it down and wiping off the lipstick, then flipping it over to re-wet it and rids of the eyeshadow, his tears getting swept away with it. He knows the day has started, but he doesn't know if he wants it to since he's gonna have to face this somehow. He decides to stall until he has something to do.
