yeah [cooper x travis]

eleven.

it was no surprise to travis when he opened his phone to see support from their friend group for the both of them. cooper had his head on travis' chest, his hand was in tangled in his soft hair. the blonde was passed out, his cheeks still warm and hot from tears.

the brunette's eyes were half lidded as he read through the messages. ted seemed the most excited for them, especially for cooper. ted had known cooper for a while, though not as long as carson. he knew that the blonde had a hard time with clicking with girls but he could tell that travis was a good match for him right when he had met him.

5:20 pm - carson: i knew it

5:20 pm - schlatt: thats great

travis couldn't help but smile softly at the messages. he carefully shook cooper awake, the blonde's silver eyes fluttered open and he raised his head off of his chest. he sat up and closed his eyes for a second. "hm?"

"they're all okay with it." travis murmured, the smile on his face grew as he watched the blonde's face heat up.

cooper's eyes grew glossy and he had a small grin on his face, looking away from travis' face. he could feel tiny tears dance down his cheeks. he sniffled as he felt travis' hand on his cheek. the blonde melted into the touch, he placed his free hand onto the one on his face. "i'm sorry." he whispered.

"why're you apologizing?" the other asked, rubbing his thumb on the blonde's cheek.

cooper exhaled shakily, shaking his head. he ran his free hand through his hair, his gaze was soft and he was struggling to form words. "i overreacted." he laughed carefully. "i shouldn't have overreacted that much."

the following morning cooper had picked up travis from his house, which was probably the first time in a while. he had travis' sweatshirt on, the sleeves covering up his hands. as travis got into the car and looked at the sweatshirt, he smiled to him, placing a kiss on the blonde's cheek.

cooper's face was red and he smiled. he bit back a laugh as he pulled out of travis' driveway. he tightened his grip on the steering wheel as the blonde drove to the high school. it was a fifteen minute drive from travis' house to the building. they were in a soft silence, aside from the quiet music that was playing off of the blonde's playlist.

as cooper pulled into the parking lot, he grabbed his back from the back of the car and got out. cooper exhaled softly and walked around the front of the car, standing next to travis. he smiled and the brunette took his hand.

truth be told, the blonde was the most nervous he had ever been. they were going to be open. together. they were together-- and people would know.
