How the hell am I going to tell Chris

Ricky and I are trying to come up with ways to tell Chris but everything either seems dumb, or would get me put into a mental hospital. Then Ricky says, "Why don't we just tell him?" His smile is so goofy, I can't help but start laughing. "What? It's smart!" As I calm down, I assure him that I like it. I'm honestly not sure why we didn't think of it before.

We head downstairs and I see Chris sitting at our kitchen table scrolling through his phone. Ricky laces his fingers through mine as we approach him. "Hey Chris," I begin, "I need to tell you something." "What is it Mini?" I look at Ricky and he gives me a reassuring nod of his head. "So you know how Ricky isn't alive anymore?"

"Yes Onyx it's sad and I'm so so sorry. I know how much he meant to you." he says sympathetically as he turns around. His face drops in absolute terror as he sees Ricky standing next to me. He rubs his eyes with shaky hands and when Ricky is still next to me, he blurts out, "What in the actual fuck..." "Listen we can explain-" I start.

"You can explain why your dead friend is in our kitchen? You can try." He chuckles sarcastically. Ricky interrupts, "I think I can." and Chris immediately stops laughing. He explains this the same way he explained it to me and Chris stared blank faced at him. His eyes trail down to where our hands are still laced together. "What's THAT?" He says with tinges of curiosity and anger. "Well you see, we're um kinda uh we-" "Yeah so we're dating." Ricky once again interrupts. Chris's face turns red with fury as he starts to stand. "Fuck it up and I swear to god I will make sure you can never walk the earth again." He says as he gets in Ricky's face. "You've known me for years, you should know I wouldn't hurt her. Besides, you knew I liked her." He says confidently. "I trust you man, I'm just warning you." he trails off. "You better not do anything with her." We laugh and Ricky vanishes. Chris stops laughing and has a look of question. "So does that mean he won't or-"

"CHRISTOPHER I SWEAR ON MY LIFE-" I scream and he once again starts hysterically laughing. My face turns red as I stomp back up the stairs.

"Did you HAVE to leave me back there with him?"

"Well how was I supposed to answer that question? He already seemed judgy so-" He sighs and a kind of sadness suddenly washes over his face. "Do you think this will even work? We'll never get married or be able to have kids or even be seen together by my family."

"Ricky I'm sure we can figure something out. Let's just take this day by day."

"You know I love you, right?"

"I would've never guessed."

I lean my head on his shoulder and close my eyes as he gently places a kiss on my head.
