A Thorn in My Side(The Owl House Oc Story)

GAY HANG OUT!

Henry's POV

Henry walked through town. Not much father he thought. Picking up his pace. He could soon see the brown hair, "Renae!"

Renae lifted her head from her gaze. "Hey Rosie, I gotta go. I'm meeting up with a friend." She paused. "Alright. Lo-" Henry paused at the beginning of the word. Renae cleared her throat. "Cya."

Henry crossed his arms, "And who was that?"

Renae's face became a soft pink. "No one important!" She snapped. She reached up and soothed her hair. "Anyways. It'll be nice to hang out. We haven't in a long time."

Henry nodded, "I've been looking forward to it all week. Lucky's not to fond about it." He shrugged.

"Is he still jealous? I mean- I don't blame him. I mean look at me!" Renae said pretending to model.

Henry chuckled. "No. It's because I had to cancel our date. We had planned to eat out. But he got sick, and then you asked me to hang out. So." He shrugged. "But it'll be nice. Where are we going first?"

"I thought the park might be a good start. And on the way we can pick some food up." Renae smiled and spun on her heal leading the way.

Henry let out a soft sigh. "I remember our first date."

"Yea... Times were a lot more different then, huh?"

Henry shook his head, "Not really. Only difference is that I'm no longer single. And you have a crush on someone that's not me."

Renae's face became a bright red, "Okay look! I was stupid! I should've realized you were gay as hell!"

Henry bit back his laughter then cleared his throat. "Don't feel bad. I liked you too. I just never knew how to tell you. And then my feelings for Lucky replaced the ones for you." He shrugged.

Renae gave a light nod, "After Lucky helped me with my grandfather's death. I realized he belonged with you so I stayed away... It still hurt to see you with Lucky.. Until I ran into Rosalina at the cemetery....." Henry blinked at the swooning witch. "After she showed her sweet side to me... God I know it's stupid and cliché to fall in love with your frenemy... but I couldn't help it."

"So Rosalina is your crush....." Henry tapped his chin, a teasing tone wavered in his voice.

"Shit I didn't mean to say her name!" Renae face Palmed. "You better not tell anyone! Especially Lucky after she hit on him that one time." She groaned.

"That was her!" He had to keep his jaw from falling to the floor. He glanced away, "She was hot. You made a good choice."

"Fuck you! And I've already lost five jackets to her!" Renae complained. "Now I only have two left... I hope I'll get some from Holly and Sean for my birthday."

"Birthday?" Henry echoed.

"Oh yeah. I didn't tell you. I'll be turning 17 this weekend.." she shrugged it off like it was no big deal, "It's not a huge deal. I'll probably just hang out with y'all."

"No huge deal! Renae you're turning 17! I only just turned 15!" Henry exclaimed.

Renae elbowed him. "Shh! I don't need the whole world to know!"

Henry laughed and wrapped his arm around Renae. "So Bristle and Hope told me you planned to cut your hair."

"Yea I did. I thought it'd look nice." Renae remarked.

"Awe! You two are such a cute couple!" Henry froze and glanced back at Renae. The two started laughing.

"As if. Henry here had a boyfriend and I'm-" Renae looked down at her feet trying to think.

"And she's trying to get with a girl that keeps stealing her jackets." Henry laughed nudging Renae.

"Oh. I am so sorry! You to- I- I'm so sorry!"

"It's fine. We did have some sort of romance at one point but that failed." Renae rubbed the back of her neck.

The lady gave a small wave and walked off. Henry glanced around and spotted a barber. "Hey how about we get you that hair cut now." He said pointing over.

Renae followed his finger, a big smile appeared on her face. "Let's do it!"
