Painfully Evicted (boy x boy)

9.)

Milos P.O.V

We hadn't spoken about it since that night.

He says he was drunk, which I guess is a viable excuse, but now I knew I felt different than he did.

Useful, yet painful information.

I had continued to stay at his apartment though. It was just as fun as before.

I groan as my phone screams at me and roll over grabbing it.

"Alec?" I question at the contact. "ALEC." I gasp.

A bit of back story, Alec was a family friend for a while until he came out. Parents hated him after that and stopped talking to his parents after they accepted him.

I bite my lip and hit the green button at the bottom of the screen.

"its 1:00 am you, idiot." I joke as soon as he picks up. I tend to tease him. I used to pretty much stalk him. My first crush.

"no 'welcome back' or 'long time no see'?" he comments and I snicker back.

"I'm rolling my eyes right now. Just so you know." I say back and hear his deep laugh. "really though. I missed you. It's been almost a year right?!"

"mmhm." he murmurs and I smile. "I've heard some...things about you though." he comments and my eyes get huge.

"oh no." I say with a slight laugh. "what is...do I wanna know?" he laughs 

"you're um... Gay?" he asks.

"oh yeah! You can imagine how telling my parents went." I say with a sigh.

"hey. It's tough. Text me whenever you need me and I'll come over." He offers and a light blush fills my face.

"sure thing." I say, sitting up and getting comfortable.

"Hey uhh..." he mutters awkwardly. I hear some fidgeting from the other side of the line as he continues. "I used to have a major crush on you, and I can't stop thinking about you since I found out."

My eyes widen and I stay still, my body filling with adrenaline and my heart beating fast.

"you there?" he adds and I shake my head, rubbing my neck embarrassed.

"oh uh...yeah." I add, getting up and turning in the light. " I ugh...felt the same." I add and a sigh of relief rings out.

"do you wanna...meet up? Get some coffee or something?"

"of course!" I say loudly before clearing my throat. "oh uh...yeah. That'd be nice."

We continue plans. Tomorrow at the coffee shop on the corner after school.

The line ends and I set down my phone, face down, taking a deep breath, and standing up.

"Yes!" I yell, hearing steps from the hallway and slamming my hand over my mouth.

My door creaks open and a shirtless Jasper trots in.

Biting the inner lining of my cheek and keeping my eyes focused on his face, I shoot him a questioning look.

"excited? You woke me up." he laughs and comes over, sitting down.

"Alec called." Jasper's slight smile dropped.

"oh cool." he says without sincerity.

"I'm meeting up with him tomorrow. I'll be late after school." he just nods and stands up.

"I'm gonna go back to bed." he says with a slight smile, my door shutting and creaky footsteps walking to his room.

Is he mad?

------
This was a super short chapter but it was more of just an introduction to Alec than a real chapter.

You may not know him well yet, but how do y'all feel about Alec?
