It All Started At The Party

Chapter 1

[Daniel’s POV]

“Ugh.” Stupid Hangover. Party was great though. Beau kissed me. Wait… BEAU KISSED ME!!!!! I jump up to do a little happy dance, but end up falling on my butt. Headrush. Slow down Daniel. I get up carefully and go to the bathroom. Where is the Asprin? Damn. No Asprin. I go back to my room and grab my phone. The light from it temporarily blinds me. I dial the number.

He answers on the first ring. “Hey Skip, outta Asprin?” It’s like he can read my freaking mind!

“Yea. Got any?” I ask. Living on my own sucks. Much more privacy though.

“Yea, be over in a minute.” He answers.

“Thanks man.”

“No problem.” He hangs up. I go to the living room and sit on the couch. Him and his brothers live a couple of streets away, so when he says he’ll be here in a minute, he means it. In no time I hear the bell ring. I squeeze my eyes shut as I open the door, but the light blinds me through my eyelids. I’m never drinking again. Someone pushes me inside and shuts the door. I open to find Beau standing really close to me. Like, REALLY close. He hands me the Asprin and a bottle of Pepsi. I take two pills and chase them down with the pop.

I lie back down on the couch. “Thanks man. I’d be dead without you.” The Asprin is already kicking in. My eyes start to droop. I feel Beau’s arms wrap around me and pull me off the couch. Woah. He got strong. He helps me stay up as I stumble along. Somehow he gets me to my bed.

I pull the covers over my head. I feel the bed dip a little and the covers are ripped away from me. I wrestle them back “HEY!” Beau shouts next to my ear. Good thing the pillow muffles it. My head would be pounding. “share!” I decide to bargain with him. I roll over to face him.

“Where’s my birthday present?” I ask. He smirks.

“You got it last night.” He frowns a little. “Did you like it?” he asks.

“Yea, I did.” A little too much. “I’ll give you the blanket if you give me another present.” I say. I hope he says yes. I’m willing to come out of the very comfortable closet for him.

“Okay.” He crashes his lips to mine. Soft and delicious. I dart my tongue across his lips, asking for permission, which he gives.

My tongue explores his mouth. I move my hips a little so he can’t feel my ’little friend’, who is growing rapidly. Crap. He noticed. He moves himself directly on top of me starts grinding. Well, from the looks of it, he’s gay too. And very happy to see me.

He moves his mouth from mine to my neck and starts sucking. I moan out loud. He’s going to give me a hicky! I flip him on his back and do the same to him. I push my hands up his shirt, feeling along his flat stomach. His hands find my belt buckle and start to undo it. I stop him.

“Not… ready…” I pant. I don’t know what to think. Everything’s foggy. I don’t know if we’re going to be in a relationship, or even if he’s gay! All I know is that wherever he touches sends sparks all through me.

“That’s okay Skip, I can wait.” He moves out from under me and we lay side by side. He plays with my hair until I drift off.

[Beau’s POV]

I don't know how he didn't notice I’m gay. I mean, has he seen any of our videos? I’ve liked him for so long, and now I get to act on it. I’m willing to wait as long as it takes. Although I doubt Luke and Jai are going to be happy about this. They’ll think it’ll screw up the Janoskians. It won’t. It can’t. Daniel is the best thing to ever happen to me. Nothing is going to screw this up.

I stop playing with his hair and get off the bed. He needs to rest. I walk back to the living room and pull out my phone. I call Luke. “Hey man, what’s up?” he asks. Luke is the only person I’ve told. He’s always been there for me.

“Can you come and get me?” I ask. “I need to talk.”

“Yea, no problem.”

“Thanks.” I say. “Bring Jai.” I think it’s time for me to tell him. I hope he can be mature.

“Uh, okay.” He sounds surprised. Well, who wouldn’t be? I hang up and sit on the couch to wait. A few minutes later a horn blares from outside. I jump up and run outside. The silver minivan sits on the curb. I jump in the back and Jai turns his head to look at me from the passenger side.

“So What’s up?” Jai asks. Luke starts driving in the opposite direction of home.

“Well, you know Skip’s party last night?” I ask, already knowing the very sarcastic answer.

“No duh.” He says, rolling his eyes.

“Well, I kind of kissed him last night.” He looks shocked. “And this morning.”

“WHAT!” he shouts. Cue the immaturity. “Why didn’t you tell me?” he asks, his voice quiet. Damn, wasn’t expecting that.

“I thought you would spaz and be immature.” I say. “Apparently I was wrong. Sorry bro.”

“You do realize I’m gay too, right?” he says.

“What! That’s awesome bro! Who do you like?” I ask. Crap. I hope he doesn’t say Skip! Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Cra-

“James.” He answers shyly. THANK GOD! Crap. James is straight. Crap. Wait. Luke will know.

“Lukey…” I say in my whiniest voice. “Is James gay?” he probably won’t tell me. Luke would take a secret to the grav-

“Yes.” Luke says. I guess he can’t keep a secret.

“Luke!” I shout. “You were the best secret-keeper ever! What happened?” I ask.

“I don’t lie. The fact that no one asks me anything is the only reason I’m ‘The best secret-keeper ever’.” He says. Well, that makes perfect sense. He could have told me. Skip probably told him he’s gay. If he's gay.

I reach over and turn the radio up. Set This World On Fire is playing. We all sing along under our breaths. Luke pulls into our drive. I run inside and grab some clothes and my board. And my wallet. Can’t forget that. I put them all in my red backpack. I run back outside and hop on my board. I cruise down the street, almost falling ‘cause of the backpack. I get to Skip’s in no time. I knock. A bleary eyed Skip opens the door.

“Hey Daniel.” I say. “We need to talk.”
