stumbling into line (sidemen ff)

Chapter 4: ' lose, not just a great romance, but a great friendship'

Freya had tears in her eyes as Josh shouted at her.

"You're so annoying!" He shouts as she lifts her foot from where she is laid on the sofa of the Sidemen house, her legs in Josh's lap. She pokes her big toe into his cheek and he reaches up grabbing it firmly in his hand, glaring at her. Another wave of laughter escapes her lips as more tears form in her eyes.

"Baaaaaaaaabe," he whines, "I'm trying to work."

She laughs out a quick insincere apology and a promise to leave him alone as she sits up twisting so she can rest her head on his shoulder as he edits some GTA video on his laptop.

"Don't you have any assignments to do?" He asks, his hands flying over the keys. His tone could easily be mistook for hostility, showing that, at this moment, he wants to get rid of her.

"Nope, I did them all. Might ring Bronagh, see if she wants to go to starbucks."

"Yeah, that sounds good. You should take Simon too, he hasn't left the house for three days."

Josh stuffs a jaffa cake in his mouth, 95% of his attention on his laptop. Freya frowns, not knowing whether to bring up the fact that Josh also hasn't left the house in three days. She decides against it and gets up, giving him a quick kiss before leaving.

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

"What the fuck are you doing?" Simon asks, slightly disgusted and weirded out as Freya pokes at her chest. Bronagh notices what she's doing and starts laughing.

"My boobs hurt." She whines, causing Bronagh to laugh even more and Simon to lean away in slight fear.

"What the actual, are you serious? Why do I need know that? Ugggh."

Freya glares up at him, dropping her breasts.

"You asked, fucktard."

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

"She was like a vicious dog." Simon retells as he lays on Ethan's bed, him picking out some clothes for the latest squad trip to wagamamas.

"Dude, never compare girls to dogs. You'll never pull." Ethan smirks looking over at Simon, who just looks back, a similar playful smirk on his face.

"And why would I need to pull?"

Ethan's signature laugh fills the room as he flops down on the bed, crawling up beside Simon and resting his head on his chest.

"For when you're mad at me. So you can realise that you're wrong and I'm always right."

"Nah, I'm always right, I just like to give you the benefit of the doubt." Simon smirks looking down at Ethan as Ethan looks up at him.

"Mmhmmm, of course." Ethan mumbles, leaning in and putting his lips to Simon's, who reacts immediately, moving his lips in sync with Ethan's. Pure emotion runs between them and they communicate all their feelings through one kiss. Anger, hate, sincerity and love.

Not much can be said about their relationship except that it's one of the most special things you may ever come across. No-one but them knew about it, except Ethan's parents, and they took pride in being not very physical, never going past a heavy make out session since neither of them had ever done anything of that nature with another man and were purely terrified that they wouldn't enjoy it and would lose, not just a great romance, but a great friendship.

They were both content with the strict rules they had agreed on. Things like hands never travelling below the waist made them comfortable but like most things, they sometimes tried to push these boundaries. It was mainly Ethan, he was the gay one, he was the one that had to watch gay porn to wank, whereas as Simon could get off to straight and gay and had repeatedly told Ethan that straight porn worked better for him. So, naturally Ethan was more comfortable with the idea of man on man action even if he wasn't comfortable with the reality yet and had to pull back multiple times, knowing that he was going too far for himself and Simon.

It comforted Simon that Ethan would stop without prompt, it reassured him that this was right and that Ethan cared about him. He also had urges that he would never let on about. Like just two days ago, they were just simply laying in bed and Simon was little spoon. Ethan had snuggled closer into him and had sent a wave of uncontrollable pleasure through Simon for no reason at all but the fact that his boyfriend was just there behind him. He had no idea what to do other than lay uncomfortably until the 'problem' went away. Luckily, Ethan never noticed and Simon had gone home and had a cold shower straight away, to wash away all the dirty thoughts he had had. After that he had gone to bed and experienced a series of hot, steamy wet dreams. None of them, surprisingly, involved Ethan.

All love is hard, Tobi, remember that.

His mother's words rang through his head, over and over.

He stared at the girl across the coffee shop, he didn't think he loved her but he was definitely attracted to this girl he had been to school with since he was seven. He hasn't noticed her much until about two weeks ago when they bumped into each other in a small cafe in the heart of London, turns out she worked here and for that sole purpose, Tobi had made this place a regular breakfast provider. It was damn good bacon though.

"Hey Tob, you ordered yet?" She asks, walking over, her green eyes glistening in the rising sun from the window he was sat next to.

"Yeah." He smiles back at her.

"Good, do you mind if I join you? I'm due a break." Her smile seems to radiate pure sunshine that almost blinded Tobi as he thanked the Lord for this opportunity.

And it's unexpected, ife mi, very unexpected.

:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:
(Ife mi means 'my love' in Yoruba, the language of Nigeria, I think... blame Google translate if it's wrong...)

Heyo! For some strange reason I feel like it has been a long time since I uploaded and this chapter is considerably shorter than the first couple but hey ho. <-- I did that and didn't realise that music had changed to 'ho hey'....

Anyway, I have been writing the first couple chapters to a Pack fanfiction and am going to post the prologue just after this so go check it out! It would be much appreciated, I've always wanted to do a story like this one but have never had the guts to be this original and I'm really proud of the idea and the things that I have written so I hope that those of you who do go check it out enjoy it!!!

Baaaiiii!!
