Lucas had gone back to Farkle's apartment after they had finished off their coffees and he had to go back to school. He was in his best friend's room, thinking it would be better off that way if his sister were to come home before Farkle did. He was sat on the king sized bed, a guitar he had found in Farkle's room sitting on his lap. Lucas would never admit it out loud, but he learnt how to play guitar at a young age, he's just never shown it off to his friends but he still practiced in his own time. He strummed a bit at the chords; while he may be able to play the instrument he can't warble a tune to save his life so he just stuck to playing the chords of the instrument. Time went by as he just plays the chords in no particular order, only stopping when he heard a door slam shut.
"Bethany, what is going on with you? Why are you do mad at me? What did I do?" Farkle's voice could be heard through the walls. Lucas had went silent, he felt like he was intruding on something that he probably shouldn't be.
"You know what you did?" She shot back. "And I hate you."
"First I have Lucas acting weird on me, now you too. And no I don't know what I did. I may have told him that you liked him, but that was it."
"That's not why I hate you. How dare you go and date him when you knew I liked him!"
"Date who! I'm single Bethany. I haven't dated anyone since Smackle."
"LUCAS!"
"What? We aren't dating. And anyway, you are too young for him. You are fourteen for crying out loud."
"So what."
"It would have been illegal! And I don't want to see him go to jail and I'm sure you don't either."
"Whatever Farkle. I'm going to stay with mother a bit longer, I've already asked her and father has Okayed it as well."
That was when the yelling had stopped, and Lucas felt guilty. It was his fault that Bethany was upset with Farkle but she was blaming her brother. He pushed aside the guitar and let out a small sigh, waiting for the younger male to walk into the room. It wasn't that long of a wait, Farkle walked in and sat down on the bed next to Lucas. His bag being placed at the foot of his bed.
"Farkle?" Lucas questioned his voice a little shaky as he spoke. Making the young brunette snap all his attention to the older male on his bed, Farkle gave a small nod signalling Lucas to continue speaking. "I'm sorry. Your sister hates you because of something I said."
"You told her we were dating?" Farkle was confused to say the least, his head tilted to the side a little.
"No, but as I was rejecting her I did." The Texan took in a deep breath and let it out slowly. His green eyes falling away from his friends gaze, to the sheets underneath him. "I kind of said the only Minkus I ever planned on ever having a thing with…was you."
It was a few second before Farkle clicked onto what the other was saying, what he had said. "Y-You did, why would you do that? You don't like me like that. You're y-you. You're Mr FreakFace, and I'm Squeak the Mouse."
"Don't tell me how I feel Farkle. I wasn't playing on telling you that I liked you, ever. But now that I have, I see it was a mistake like I thought it would be." Lucas said before standing up and leaving the room, not looking back as Farkle called out his name.
Lucas was terrified. He just admitted that he liked Farkle out loud and to Farkle. Oh, god this has ruined the friendship. The Texan didn't know anything else to do but go to the Bay Window, he needed advice. He needed his friends and he knew the girls were most likely hanging out in Riley's room like they always did. He made his way up the fire escape, trying to keep back those tears that threatened to spill out. The window was open and he climbed through to see Riley at her desk, he cleared his throat to tell her that he was in her room. The blond male tried to put on a smile when she faced him, only for it to disappear when she frowned. Of course she would see through his facade.
"What's wrong Lucas?" Fell from the tall brunette's mouth as she walked over to him, sitting at the window as he did the same.
"I-I did something more stupid then beating up that kid, then drinking." Lucas mumbled, eyes looking towards the ground.
"What did you?"
"I-I told Farkle I like him. I screwed us up. I don't think he wants to be my friend anymore."
Riley's frown deepened and she put a comforting arm around her friend , Lucas leaning a little into the touch as a few tears started to escape his eyes. "I don't think he would end your friendship over that. Do you know if he likes you back?"
Lucas shook his head lightly, no. He didn't stay around long enough to actually find out. He sucked in a deep breath and let it out slowly. And a few seconds later, Riley's door flew open, and in came a grinning Maya.
"Riley you would not believe what Ranger Ri-" Maya stopped what she saying when she saw the cowboy himself in the room. A frown replaced the grin that spread across her face. "You know what, never mind. What are you doing here Ranger Rick?"
"I just needed some advice."
"Well here's some, next time you tell someone that you like them. Don't run off until unless they have rejected you. Farkle hasn't, in fact he just called me to ask if I knew where you were. And as we speak, I've told him you are here. And that's where you are going to stay until he comes by."
"Why are you doing this to me? He doesn't like me, I get it. I knew I should have just ignored my feelings."
A scoff left the girls lips as they rolled their eyes a little. "That's never worked out for us before." Riley stated.
"But he's, he's a guy."
"And what? You are so supportive of others liking the same sex, but yourself? You can't why not?" Maya questioned as she sat on the other side of Lucas, almost squishing him into staying where he was. But there was no reply from the older, just silence.
