Okay, here's chapter 2. Thanks for waiting patiently. Hope you like it. I actually wasn't going to continue, but a couple of people wanted more, and a couple of people should get what they ask for.

Chapter 2

"Well, explain away." Angela insisted.

Shawn looked at Cory to see who was going to start talking. It so happened, Cory was looking a little scared, so Shawn decided to start.

"What's to explain? I was just resting on the couch and Cory happened to be underneath me." Shawn said as a lame excuse.

"We're not stupid, Shawn. We can put two and two together."Angela replied. She looked long and hard at him, than, turned her attention to Cory. "You want to try?" Cory just stared at her in silence.

"What does it matter to you?" Cory then answered.

"Well, we're only your girlfriends." She stated gesturing toward Topanga. Topanga looked up at the mention of her name, but she wasn't really listening to the conversation, she looked like she was thinking about something. The room was filled with silence, until Angela once again spoke up.

"You don't have anything to say about this?" She asked Topanga.

"Well......think about it,"She answered,"Cory and Shawn have been best friends for as long as I can remember. They've gone through everything together. Life, death you name it. Always in school, they were constantly getting in trouble, but they both took the blame even if it didn't seem like it at first. They learned everything together, and spent more time together than Cory and I. Plus, Cory and Shawn had their moments where I suspected, but didn't make anything of it. Now, I know they weren't just playing around."She ended.

The silence during the next minute felt like hours. Everyone was taking in her words. She looked at Shawn, who had a look of thanks. She smiled, looked at Cory who had a look of extreme happiness, then, she turned toward Angela. She didn't look quite as happy as the rest of them.

"Ange, you okay?" She worried. Angela just stared at her with a look of disbelief.

"How can you be on their side? How can you accept that? We were their girlfriends just this morning, and then all of a sudden they turn gay? That's just wrong."She explained.

"Angela, just because your father doesn't approve of homosexuals, doesn't mean you don't have to. Also, I don't think they just turned gay, they just haven't recognized it until now." Topanga answered. Cory was again looking frightened. Almost, as if he was about to cry. Shawn saw this, and walked over to him to comfort him.

"No, there will be none of that while I'm in the same room or same house. I want all of you out." Angela yelled. Shawn nodded and pulled Cory along with his arms around his shoulders, and Topanga wasn't sure of what to think about Angela anymore, but followed them out the door. Angela had slammed the door once they were all out. Outside the door, Topanga asked if they wanted to go to her place and relax for a while. Cory said no, and wanted to go back to his own house.

"I'll go with him. You go home and get some rest."Shawn said to Topanga. "And thank you so much for being so understanding." She just smiled, gave both of them a hug, and they all went down on the elevator and took their separate ways once they were outside.

At Cory's house, Shawn and him were lying down on the bed and staring up at the ceiling. Neither of them wanting to talk about what had happened earlier. Cory was even wondering if it was worth it, but he didn't want to tell Shawn. Shawn was also wondering, wondering what Cory's parents would say or do when they told them. Just then, Eric walked in and looked a little shocked when he noticed how close Cory and Shawn were on the bed, but decided to let it slide. Cory and Shawn had both sat up, but never moved away from one another.

"Dinner's ready, little bro."He told Cory. He looked at Shawn, "Are you going to mooch off of us again." When nobody said anything, Eric then realized there was a problem. "Okay, what's going on?" Still no response. "I'll go get mom."He said like a two year old telling on their older sibling.

"No." Cory quickly said. He didn't want to tell his parents, but figured he was going to have to tell Eric if he kept pressing to know what had happened. Eric just stared at Cory, then at Shawn, then, he looked down at their hands and saw that their fingers were interlocked with one another's in a tight grip. Cory watched him and followed his eyes, that's when he knew he was going to have to tell him.

"Eric,"he had started. Eric silenced him by holding a hand up.

"No need to explain Cory."He used Cory a lot when he was being serious."I'll go tell mom and dad you're not hungry, and we can talk about it after I'm done eating." Cory hopped up and wrapped him in a tight, brotherly embrace. "But, Jack's gonna be a little weirded out by this." Cory looked confused. "It's not that he won't approve, I know he'll approve. It's just going to be a bit weird because, oh I'll tell you after dinner." He ended early. He pulled Cory off of him and went downstairs. Cory turned around to Shawn.

"Why would Jack be weirded out?" Shawn wondered out loud.

"I don't know. But, there are bigger things to worry about right now. We're going to have to tell Eric everything, than, we're going to have to tell my mom and dad." Cory stated. Shawn nodded in agreement and laid back down on the bed. Cory lied down with his head on Shawn's stomach and wondered about everything.

After they told Eric everything, he was so supportive. That's why Cory loved him so much.

"Uhhh, so why won't Jack approve?" Cory questioned getting back to before dinner.

"Oh,"Eric said simply."Ummmm, it's because, well, he and I are sorta, uhhhhh....."He trailed off. Shawn was thinking of things to say to finish that sentence. 'He and I.....'Shawn suddenly realized what it was.

"You're with Jack aren't you?"Shawn asked, amusement lacing his voice. Cory looked shocked, but when he saw Eric get all red, he knew his friend was right.

"Oh my god, you're seriously with Jack."Cory said with a big smile. "For how long? When did it happen? Give me the details, man."Eric just looked between Cory and Shawn.

"Well, it all happened the first day I moved in. He and I had to share a bed that night since mine wasn't set up yet. We were talking late that night and I asked if he had a girlfriend. When he said no, I asked 'Why not, you're pretty cute.' I felt like punching myself after that, so I was about to leave when he pulled me back and he kissed me. After that, we've been seeing each then ever since, and you two are the first two other people to know."Eric finished.

"What about Rachel?" Cory asked.

"Ahh yes, the lovely Rachel. Well, I just made the excuse to like her so I could hang out with her more because she was always around Jack and she was my cover."Eric answered.

"Well, that is a little weird, but it's not like anyone's getting married, so we're not related or anything."Shawn said. Cory and Eric nodded in unison.

"Well, I'm going to bed now. See you tomorrow."Eric said while yawning.

"I think I'm going to bed, too."Cory also said.

"I think I'll crash here for the night. It's late and I really don't feel like going back home." Shawn stated. Eric nodded at him and went to the living room to sleep on the couch, wanting to leave Shawn and his little brother in peace. After he left, Shawn undressed himself and slid under the covers in his boxers. Cory followed suit and slid in to the other side of the small bed. He wrapped his arms around Shawn's waist and nuzzled his face into the back of his neck. He stayed liked that until he fell asleep. Shawn had pretty much fallen asleep with the warmth of his best friend behind him.

Sometime in the middle of the night, around three in the morning, Cory woke up. He always woke up around that time for some strange reason. He just turned over and checked the time. When he was slowly drifting off, he heard the doorknob turn and the light go on.

"What the hell is going on in here?!?!?!?!"He heard his dad yell.

"He sat upright quickly and shook Shawn awake since he was such a heavy sleeper. Shawn rubbed his eyes and made out the figure that was standing in the doorway.

"Oh crap." He simply said.

"What's going on in here????!!!!!"He asked again. At that moment, Eric had ran into the room. He saw the situation, and already knew what had happened. His dad must've come upstairs to see what was up with Cory because Eric was sleeping in the couch instead of his room, considering there were two beds. He groaned in frustration and covered his eyes with his hands. This was going to be a long night.

So, how was it? I felt like writing this since I actually have free time on my hands. Please review.
