Someone told me stay away from things that aren't yours. But was he yours, if he wanted me so bad?
His relationship he had was a secret to all but one of his friends – but that's because he was in the relationship well. They have their reasons for keeping it a secret, the main one is walking in the door of Topanga's right now causing the two to just create that little gap between them.
With a bright smile, Riley smiled at her boyfriend and took hold of his hand – moving Farkle of off the seat in the process, causing him to roll his eyes a little but he didn't say anything as he went to order himself a coffee to go. Blue eyes watching the lovely 'couple' talking with each other. Though, to him it seemed like his bubbly friend was complaining about something – probably something that Maya did that she didn't approve of, or maybe it was Smackle up talked and forgot she was talking with Riley. His drink was ready and he left.
Sure, he really shouldn't be after his best friend's boyfriend – but, if he was truly hers why was he allowing what was going on to happen? That bit eases Farkle's conscious every time it pops into his head.
A few days later, Farkle was sitting on Riley's bay window – she had told him to be there so here he was. He was a few minutes early but he didn't care, and he's sure Riley wouldn't either. When she walks in, she is hand in hand with Lucas. Farkle gives the pair a smile, as she drops his hand and sits next to Farkle in the corner – while Lucas sits on her bed.
"Farkle, are you okay? Are you upset that Smackle is dating someone else?" Riley questioned as she looked at her friend, a worried expression plastered on her face. She wanted him to know, that he could tell her anything and that she was there for him. It must be hard to see your ex dating someone.
"I'm fine; me and Smackle broke up sophomore year. We are in senior year now, we've both moved on. She's free to date whoever she wants, as long as she is happy." Farkle spoke honestly.
"Okay, that's good. I'm going to go get a drink – you guys want one?" She asked as she stood up, and headed to the door. Both the boys shook their heads and she left the room.
Standing up Farkle walked over to Lucas, light smile spread across his lips – he had a short time frame in which to do things. He's quick with his movements and leans to whisper in the older male's ear. "I know I have moved on, you can't keep this from her. You don't love her." Farkle pulls away just in time for Riley to walk in . "I've got to go, but I'll see you at Topanga's tonight."
And with that, he leaves the two alone.
At Topanga's Farkle sits next to Maya, while the two couples sat next to each other. Riley sitting on Lucas' lap as he held her close to him, for some reason he seemed to avoid Farkle's looks. That was something that never happened it was new. Katy was hosting the karaoke night, so after the last act she gets up and announces the next person who has signed up.
"Next we have…Oo we have Farkle with Pacify Her by Melanie Martinez." Katy announced before gesturing for the stage, to which Farkle got up on.
"Tired blue boy walks my way, holding a girl's hand…" Farkle starts to sing, his eyes moving to Riley and Lucas who were situated not far from the little makeshift stage. During the whole song, he looks at the couple – a smile plasters his lips as he finishes and walks over to his spot. He barely gets a chance to sit down before Maya is pulling on him and walking him outside.
Once they were outside, Maya's hand is quick to slap across Farkle's face. Farkle rest his hand on his sore cheek, he was about to ask her what that was for when Maya starts to yell at him. "You asshole Farkle. How dare you do that to Riley! She's is your fucking friend for crying out loud!"
"It was j-"
"Don't lie to me. I know exactly what you were getting at. I thought you were a loyal friend, but clearly that is wrong. You shouldn't take something that isn't yours."
"Hey! I am. I'm not the one cheating on Riley. Lucas is, and if he wants me, is he hers?" The brunette male says standing his ground. Another slap to Farkle's face. "Fucking hell Maya."
"You will stop whatever it is that you have going on with Lucas now and let him and Riley live happily ever after."
"Yeah, going to be hard when one of those people in the relationship is gay, but you know. Fine, I'll leave Lucas alone." Farkle spoke, a smug smile upon his lips and he left before Maya could land another slap to his face.
A week passed by, and Farkle decided to be true to his word; showing Maya that he was loyal. Whenever the group was together, he was one of the first to leave or last to leave if Lucas left first. He limited his alone time with Lucas, to only classes they had together – other than that he made himself busy and 'unavailable' to talk to his friend. Now, he was home after the group study session that he and the rest of them had at Topanga's. He's just watching some YouTube video's to pass his time, when his sister came into his room.
"One of your friend's is here to see you." She told him.
Without thinking twice about it, he told her to let them in and he set's his laptop aside. His eyes looking up to find Lucas walking into his room. Raising an eyebrow Farkle crosses his arms against his chest a little. He was about to say something when Lucas moved so quick he didn't have time to react. Farkle fall back onto his bed with the collision that was Lucas falling and kissing him. Farkle honestly did miss their kissing sessions; he really did so he's kissing back.
Lucas pulled away, green eyes overlooking the boy underneath him. "You've been ignoring me. If it's some type of game you're playing. I'll play too, but next time you'll cave and come to me."
"Where does Riley think you are?" Farkle questions, the regret of asking hitting him almost immediately – they never really talked about her in these kind of moments.
"On my way home, but I'm taking a detour. Come on; let's not talk about her now. I just want you. I've missed you, why'd you stop? Wait…" Now Lucas pushes himself off of Farkle, and stands at the edge of the bed. "Do you want to break up?"
Farkle is quick to shake his head, standing up and going to wrap his arms around Lucas' neck. "No. Maya knows about us. She slapped me and told me to stay away from you."
"She did what? Are you okay? How badly did she slap you?" The questions fall out of Lucas' mouth quickly, his hands going to rest gently on Farkle's cheeks.
"Both times weren't that bad. I got out of the situation before she could get in a third. I'm okay." Farkle replies, leaning in to give him a light kiss.
"I love you." The words fall from Lucas' lips in a soft tone as he goes to lift Farkle up. Farkle then wraps his legs around Lucas' waist to secure himself as he lets this get back going. He really did miss Lucas' touch and his kisses.
"FARKLE MINKUS GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE NOW!" Maya's voice yelled a few hours later, making both boys jump in shock. Lucas is quick to gather all his clothes from the ground and Farkle pulls on a pair of pants before he heads out of his room into the living area to see Maya and Riley sitting with Zay and Smackle.
"What's going on?" Farkle asked, crossing his arms against his chest to try and keep warm in the cold living room. Maybe he should have put on a shirt before he left his room.
"Do you know where Lucas is?" Smackle asked.
"No. Why?" Farkle asked right back.
"Riley said he was going home, but his mother said he wasn't home and we've been trying to reach him. Even trying to reach you but you didn't answer. Neither of you did. We're worried." Maya spoke, holding Riley's hand tightly.
"I'm sure he's just on a walk or something and his phone just died." The brunette male said with a shrug of his shoulders.
"Hey, aren't those Lucas' jeans?" Zay questioned, his eyes looking at the jeans that Farkle was wearing causing everyone else to do so.
"No, they're not." It was a lie, they were Lucas' they must have picked up the wrong jeans each and just put them on without realising.
It's clear that Maya didn't buy the lie because she stood up and slapped Farkle across the face. "You are a fucking shit friend Farkle, I hope you know that."
"Maya, why would you do that?" Riley asked, looking up at her friends who were glaring at each other.
"Oh, I don't know, maybe because Farkle has been with Lucas this whole time! And clearly they had some kind of fun that they couldn't tell each other's clothes apart." Maya spoke, her voice almost a growl as she kept her eyes glaring at Farkle.
"You're trying to tell us that Farkle and Lucas…had sex?" Zay mused, looking over at Farkle, raising an eyebrow.
"He can't. Lucas said he wasn't ready to me." Riley piped up from her spot, going up behind Maya to pull her away from their friend.
"Riley, I know you're still naive to some things, but open your eyes Riley. Your boyfriend has been having an affair with your friend. Farkle even sang a song about it for crying out loud!" Maya told her best friend as she turned to look at her.
"No, you're wrong Maya." Riley whimpered, tears in her eyes as she pushes past everyone to go to Farkle's room. Because if what Maya was getting at was true, wouldn't that mean Lucas is in Farkle's room. If he was, it was true and if he wasn't Maya was lying. She sucks in a deep breath before opening up the room – she couldn't see Lucas. Her brown eyes scan the room, Farkle's sheets were a mess, and she thought nothing of it. She steps into the room; she knows everyone else was behind her. As she got closer to the bed she notices a few things, one including one of Lucas' boots.
Riley turns around and Farkle is right behind her and here he is getting another slap across his face. "Okay, what the fuck! Lucas isn't in my room."
"No, but he was! That's his boot. How could you do this to me Farkle?" Riley screamed at her friend before running out of the room, Maya not far behind her.
Smackle comes up to him, Farkle isn't sure what he's expecting of her as her face was pretty emotionless. But, god where her movements quick as she too slaps Farkle across the face pretty hard. By now, he wouldn't be surprised if Zay came up and slapped him across the face too, why not? Everyone else did.
"That isn't cool. What you did, if she forgives you it'll be a miracle." Zay spoke before leaving the room, closing the door behind him.
Tears fill his eyes and he falls onto his bed, curling in on himself and hugging his pillow close to his chest as he started to sob. Not even a minute passed before he felt familiar arms wrap around him and he turns so that he is cuddling into the Texan instead of his pillow. They stay like that until they fall sleep next to each other.
In the morning, Farkle wakes up without Lucas at his side and that hurts him. Maybe Lucas has decided to leave him too, he would understand that. It was a feeling he was honestly use too now. Farkle gets himself dressed, and makes his way into the living room where he can smell some cooking. Weird, his parents aren't meant to be home until tomorrow and his sister doesn't cook breakfast. So following where the smell was coming from, a little smile graced his lips when he saw Lucas setting up two plates.
"I'm sorry. This is my fault. I should have just broken it off with her." Lucas said as he sat down next to Farkle, placing a plate in front of them both. He reaches a hand up to gently touch Farkle's cheek, before leaning in to press a soft kiss to it. "They slapped you. I should be the one being slapped. I'm sorry Farkle."
"It's okay. I'm fine. I honestly thought you left, I would have understood if you did. My parents leave me all the time. My other sister did, Riley and the others. I'm sure they have. But, thank you for staying. I love you." Farkle spoke with a soft voice. He's honestly never said those words back to Lucas, but now, they just rolled off of his tongue.
"I'm always by your side, no matter what. Been that way since seventh grade, it's never going to change." Lucas told him, giving his hand a little squeeze. "I love you too."
