Chapter 6: Its ok

"Formaggio!" Luca rushed over and hugged his cousin. "It's ok Forma..I'm here...it's ok.." He ran his fingers through his short hair and brought him over to the couch. He whispered comforting words to him and Formaggio sobbed. "I-I'm sorry Luca....E-Ever since I met back up with Risotto I've been feeling so depressed. W-Why didn't he say anything? Why did he just discard me like I'm trash..?" Luca slowly rocked him and murmured praise to him. "It's ok Formaggio, it's all gonna be ok. You're not trash, you're not worthless, your emotions are completely normal.  I love you Forma, you're gonna be ok."

An hour later

Luca was making some coffee, Formaggio laid on the couch, asleep after crying for a while. He sighed as he wiped away a tear from his eye. "Formaggio...." He heard Formaggio's phone go off and he went over to it he picked it up and answered the phone. "Hello?" "Hey, Risotto told me you got hella drunk last night, didja get home safe?" Luca looked at the contact as another voice rang through the phone. "Yea man, he said you were so drunk you could hardly stand." Sorbet and Gelato were on the other line. "Sorry, Formaggio is asleep right now, this is his roommate Luca. He got home safely earlier this morning. I have no clue where he was last night." "Oh so you're Luca, he talks about you sometimes. Well I'm glad he's ok, tell him to call us back when he wakes up." "Sure thing." He hung up and put Formaggio's phone back. 'He talks about me? Huh, the more you know.' He finished his coffee and wiped another tear. "What a reckless kid...but at least he's got friends, looks like he won't be lonely anymore. What a nutcase."

Ghiaccio's apartment

The bluenette had just woken up to an abundance of texts in the group chat and some messages from classmates. "Why the fuck do they text so early in the morning.." He put on his glasses and started reading through the messages. "Huh, he got drunk as fuck, not surprised." He looked at the messages from his classmates, they were just about homework and projects. He checked some social media and he couldn't stop staring at a picture of Risotto. He thought back to them ice skating, the feeling of his hand on the small of his back, being pressed up against his larger body. 'I want to do that again...maybe I would mind him taking me to the changing rooms and-' He interrupted his own thoughts as his face started turning red. 'No way, I didn't just think of Risotto like that! He's just a friend...but he's really hot...stop it!' He slapped his cheeks to try and push away his thoughts about Risotto. He picked up his phone and went to his messages. "Should I talk to him...? Maybe I should hit up Sorbet and Gelato...they know about relationships." Ghiaccio internally debated for a while, he wasn't used to love.

He got up and went to the bathroom, he brushed his teeth and splashed his face with water. "God I'm a mess..." He brushed his curls and sighed. "I should just talk to him...I'm making things awkward without him even knowing." Ghiaccio went back to his bedroom and stared at his phone. 'What are you waiting for you idiot?! Just call him!' He picked up the phone and called Risotto. After the second ring his gruff voice could be heard. "Hey Ghiaccio, is something wrong?" "It's not that, I just wanted to talk to you. Do you think we could go to the library today?" "Yea sure, what time is good for you?" "Any is fine, maybe we could do something after as well?" Risotto was quiet for a few seconds. "Yea that's fine. I'll meet you at the library in 30 minutes."

Ghiaccio quickly got dressed and brought some books to read, yes they were going to a library but he did have some books he wanted to finish and share with Risotto. He left his apartment, locking the door and started walking towards the college, to use the library. He stopped for some coffee, since he had some time left before meeting Risotto. He stood outside drinking his coffee, when he saw Illuso. The brunette stood next to Ghiaccio. "How many cups has that been today." He chuckled as Ghiaccio grumbled. "This is only my first. What are you doing?" "Killing some time before my date." "Date?" Ghiaccio was quite surprised, how could an asshole like him get a date? "Yea, Melone asked me out, I didn't refuse so.." Ghiaccio sighed and moved his glasses, punching the bridge of his nose. "He just wants to sleep with you." "And who says I don't want to sleep with him?" Ghiaccio turned to Illuso and the brunette shrugged. He looked away. "Whatever man." He looked at his watch. "It's about time I get going, see ya. Enjoy your date or whatever." He walked away towards the college.

Risotto was already at the library, he gathered some books to read before Ghiaccio came. He sat at table in a corner. He heard the door opening and he got up from his table and saw Ghiaccio. He beckoned him over and Ghiaccio sat down at the other side of the table. "Hey." Risotto mumbled. "Hey." Ghiaccio whispered and pulled out some books from his bag. The two started reading quietly but Ghiaccio couldn't focus on the words at all. He kept looking up from his book to stare at Risotto for a little. Risotto didn't seem to notice as he kept reading his book. He looked up and saw Ghiaccio staring. He turned his head and Ghiaccio quickly looked back down at his book. "What's up? Is there something on my face?" He shook his head as his face burned. "N-No I just..." Ghiaccio looked back at his book and practically hid his face in it. "What is it Ghiaccio? Are you sick? Your face is quite red." Ghiaccio grumbled quietly. "I-I think you're attractive.." Risotto was silent and his cheeks started turning red. 'Oh shit, why did this happen to me...I like Formaggio but he doesn't reciprocate those feelings, I think...but Ghiaccio likes me...I also kinda like him...god why me..' Ghiaccio saw his silence as a rejection and he looked away. "Sorry if I made things awk-" "I like you Ghiaccio.." He interrupted. The two of them were now blushing messes. "S-So are we a thing now?" "If you want us to be." Ghiaccio got up and instead of leaving he sat next to Risotto. "I'd like that." Risotto placed a hand on his thigh, looking over at Ghiaccio.

At the strip club

"I could dance better than all of the girls here." Illuso quipped, Melone looked over at him with a playful smirk. "Oh really? Why don't you go up there, pretty boy?" Melone purred and he practically was sitting on his lap, that's how close they were. "Nah, but you can see me later, when I'm actually working." Melone was a bit shocked but he didn't let it show. "Fine, I'll come when you're working, you better put on a good show." The two shared a intimate kiss and Illuso picked him up and moved the lavender haired man to his lap. The two had an intense make out session full of hair tugs and teases. "How about we head back to your apartment, Mel?" "Why would we need to do that, there's upstairs where we can be alone~." "Fine, but if we get caught it's you who's responsible." Melone got off his lap and stood up, Illuso got up as well. They went upstairs to the more quieter area. Illuso sat down on the booth and Melone sat on his lap.

"I think this is the best spot in the house." Melone purred and he nipped at his neck. Illuso tugged on his hair when Melone kissed his neck. He pulled harder and kissed him. They had another intense make out session and their hands started to wander all over their bodies. "Melone, I want to go to your apartment. I'm not comfortable fucking here." Melone got off his lap. "Fiiine." They left the strip club and they got on Melone's motorcycle. He drove Illuso to his apartment when they got in his apartment Melone immediately shoved him against the door and started making out with him. Illuso grabbed his hips and pulled him closer. Melone finally pulled away and the two of them were panting hard. "So..." Illuso finally spoke up. "Why did you ask me out? I know you probably just wanted to fuck, but why me specifically?" Melone chuckled before responding. "You really think it's just because of that? Oh Illuso, you really are so simple." He caressed his cheek then tucked his brown hair behind his ear. "Yes, I did want to fuck and I just know you have a big dick. But I asked you out because besides Formaggio you have the most fun. Getting to know you was fun as well. But now I want to know you in a different way." He bit his lip, Illuso now knew his was in for a ride tonight.
