After the Podcast

Finally, the end of the podcast came. Click felt happy with how it had turned out, but time spent with friends is always time well spent. They stopped recording, and Click let out a breath he didn't know he was holding.

"You good, dude?" OT asked him with a slight concern. "You look really tired."

Click knew he was absolutely not okay. "Yeah, I'm good! Why you askin', Topiccy-Wopiccy?~"
He liked to see him laugh, it distracted him from the sickly lingering taste of Mt. Dew and bagels in his mouth.

"Just worried that you might be lonely in lockdown. It's no trouble for me though, I have human one!" He smiled in such a genuine way, but for some reason Click's heart sank. But, why would it hurt that he mentioned her? It was just his S/O. There was no issue with that.
OT continued on anyways. "If you need anyone to talk to, I'm here. I know how you can shut yourself in by accident. Love ya, dude."

Later that day, after the call had ended, Click was laying in bed and staring at the cieling, those words replaying inside of his head. "He loves me?" He knew it was in a friendly sense. But that buzzing feeling in his stomach didn't go away. The blood, rushing up to his cheeks didn't go away. The thoughts of him and OT didn't leave. And suddenly, everything clicked.

He liked One Topic. 

He was jealous that human one had him all to herself, when Click wanted him that badly. Oh, oh no. Oh dear. "Shit, shit shit...I like women...I'm straight...I'm just tired," Click tried mumbling every excuse to himself. But One Topic's sexy, hunky body was too much to deny. He'd placed a spell on Click, that couldn't be taken off of him.

He rolled over to check his phone, to see the time. There were a few notifications from Discord, nothing out of the ordinary. He scrolled through, only for OT's to catch his eye.
"You up?" 1:00AM - OT
Quickly, Click got to typin'.
"yea, why are you up" 1:03AM - click
"I was just thinking about stuff. Couldn't go to sleep, and you were the first one I thought of to text." 1:03AM - OT
"aww, how sweet :)" 1:04AM - click
"i was thinking about you. thanks for being there for me" 1:04AM - click
"i think i like you" 1:04AM - click

He sucked in a deep breath, not knowing what to do. He really just said it. He was always the type to just get his issues out the way, but maybe it was too sudden.

A buzz from his phone.

"What, like as in you have a crush on me?" 1:05AM - OT
"yea. sorry i don't mean to make you uncomfortable" 1:05AM - click
"I feel the same" 1:06AM - OT
"what about your s/o??" 1:06AM - click

Click was in shock, he felt happy, and confused, and guilty all at once. But he couldn't deny that One Topic felt like home to him. He couldn't stay awake much longer, there was too much to dwell on. He let the phone slip out of his hand, as his mind wandered off into the land of dreams.
