The next couple of days, Ricky is avoiding E.J., and E.J. is pissed. He's tried to talk to him, but every time he tries to, Ricky either runs away or ignores him. Finally, E.J. decided just to find Ricky at a place he couldn't leave.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

E.J. walks into the gym during a cheer practice and walks up to Ricky, who was sitting down. "Can we talk?" E.J. asks. Ricky looks up at him, and his face goes red before he quickly grabs his stuff and moves away from E.J. "Hey," E.J. says before chasing Ricky down. "Why are you being like this?" E.J. asks. 

Ricky again doesn't respond and soon packs his stuff up. "Hey E.J.," Gina smiles before walking over with Nini. 

"You taking Ricky again," Nini asks. 

"Nope, I'm gonna go home guys, I'm not feeling good," Ricky mumbles. "I'll see you at the game," Ricky says before running out of the gym. 

"Oh my god, do you know why he's ignoring me?" E.J. asks. 

"Nope," Nini says before walking away with a smirk. 

Gina watches her and soon realized she knew something. "We gotta finish up practice, bye E.J.," Gina says before chasing after Nini. E.J. sighs and soon leaves. "What do you know?" Gina asks. 

"Ricky has a crush on E.J.," Nini sings, making Gina chuckle. 

"Finally," Gina laughs before looking at everyone. "Ladies, are bet might be up tonight," Gina smirks, making some girls cheer and other girls groan. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I swear to god," E.J. grumbles as he pulls up in front of Ricky's house. He gets out and quickly walks to Ricky's window. He sighs and climbs up before knocking on the window. 

E.J. sees Ricky jump, and Ricky runs over before quickly opening the window. "You could have knocked on the door," Ricky mumbles before walking away and sitting on the bed. 

"You wouldn't have let me in," E.J. says before he gets in and shuts the window. "Now, why the hell are you ignoring me?" E.J. asks. Ricky sighs and doesn't answer him making E.J. sighs and sit next to E.J., "Your still mad at me cause of the party, aren't you?" E.J. asks. 

"No," Ricky mumbles. 

E.J. quickly grabs Ricky's face and makes him look at him. "Why are you ignoring me?" E.J. says. Ricky bites his lip and adverts his eyes. "What did I do?" E.J. asks. "Tell me so I can fix it," E.J. says. E.J. sighs when Ricky doesn't respond, so he lets go of his face, and Ricky turns away quickly. "Ricky," E.J. sighs. "Please," E.J. says. Ricky bites his lip again and soon gives in. He looks at E.J. and soon kisses him. E.J. sat there surprised but soon kissed back. The two pulled away, and E.J. just smirks. "You fell in love with me," E.J. smirks. 

"Shut up," Ricky grumbles, turning away. 

"Hey, don't you dare look away," E.J. smirks before making Ricky look at him again. "This is why you haven't talked to me cause you have a crush?" E.J. asks. 

Ricky's face turns pink, and he nods a little. "Yeah," Ricky mumbles. 

"Awwww," E.J. smirks before he chuckles. Ricky then looks away, and E.J. just smiles. "I told you you'd fall in love with me," E.J. chuckles. "Now, does the Ricky Bowen wanna be my boyfriend?" E.J. asks before grabbing Ricky's hand. Ricky looks at him before he nods. He soon, though, moves away and grabs a pillow. He hides his face in it, and E.J. chuckles. "Your adorable," E.J. smiles before he grabs Ricky and pulls him onto his lap. 

"I-I'm not gonna be very good at this," Ricky mumbles as E.J. takes the pillow away. 

"What dating? Oh, I expect that," E.J. says. 

"What do you mean expect?" Ricky asks. 

"You've only dated Nini, and we know how that ended," E.J. chuckles, making Ricky smile a little. "But I don't mind you being a little inexperienced; I can teach you whatever you need," E.J. smiles before holding Ricky's face in his hands. "You're kissing was ok though," E.J. smirks before kissing Ricky again. 

Ricky kisses back, of course, and soon pulls away. "I've practiced," Ricky smiles before wrapping his arms around E.J.'s neck. 

"Who have you practiced on?" E.J. asks before he puts his hands on Ricky's waist. 

"Nini, we practiced a lot on each other," Ricky chuckles. 

"Wow, yeah, now I definitely know both of you are gay," E.J. laughs, making Ricky smile. 

"Yeah, if you were doing that with a girl, you'd probably fall in love," Ricky smirks. 

E.J. looks at him before he quickly starts to tickle Ricky. "You can't say any of that anymore," E.J. smirks as Ricky starts to laugh. 

"E-E.J., please," Ricky begs. E.J. just smirks and keeps going. 

This goes on for a couple of minutes before E.J. finally stops. Ricky is catching his breath, and he glares at E.J. he goes to grab a pillow, but E.J. stops him, of course. "If you hit me with a pillow, I will tickle you again," E.J. threatens. Ricky pouts at this, and E.J. just grabs Ricky and making him sit on his lap. 

Ricky smiles as E.J. lays back, and he cuddles into his chest. E.J. smiles at this, and he runs his hands through Ricky's hair. "Sorry for ignoring you; I can't keep secrets very well," Ricky mumbles. 

"That is very good information to have," E.J. chuckles. "I have to leave for the game soon. Do you wanna come with me?" E.J. asks. 

Ricky whines and pouts a little. "Do you have to leave?" Ricky asks. 

E.J. rolls his eyes and nods. "Yes, I do, and you do as well," E.J. smiles. "You'll get to tell Nini and Gina we're finally dating, which I know they won't be too surprised at," E.J. smiles. 

Ricky chuckles at this and moves up a little to put his face in E.J.'s neck. "RICKY!!!" The two hear from downstairs, making the two jump. "Fuck my dad's home," Ricky says. 

"Well, good, I wanna meet him," E.J. smirks. 

"What?" Ricky asks. "You wanna meet my dad, the man who is the most protective of me," Ricky says. "Your gonna die," Ricky mumbles before getting off E.J. and standing up. "Upstairs, dad," Ricky says as he opens his door. He walks back over to E.J. and pulls him off the bed before slowly walking downstairs with him.

"There was a car outside. Do you have a friend over?" Ricky's dad asks. 

"Um, not really a friend," Ricky says as they walk into the kitchen. "Dad, this is my boyfriend E.J.," Ricky smiles, making Ricky's dad quickly look over at the two. 

"You have a boyfriend?" Ricky's dad asks before looking at E.J. 

"It's pretty new," Ricky says before holding E.J.'s hand. 

"Hello, sir," E.J. smiles before holding his hand out. 

Ricky's dad looks at him before shaking his hand. "I like him," Ricky's dad smiles. "But I swear if you ever break his heart, I will break you," Ricky's dad says while glaring at E.J.

Ricky's face fills with a small blush, and he whines. "Dad," Ricky whines. 

"I'm joking," Ricky's dad smiles. But he shakes his head and glares at E.J. Ricky sighs and looks at the time. 

"You should go," Ricky says. 

"Oh yeah, bye, Mr. Bowen," E.J. smiles as the two walk to the door. The two walk out to E.J.'s car and E.J. smiles at him. "Your dad is nice," E.J. chuckles. 

"Sorry about him," Ricky chuckles. He smiles as he looks at E.J. He kisses E.J. on the lips, and E.J. smiles. "I'll see you at the game," Ricky smiles before walking away. E.J. waves and soon gets in the car before driving away.
