AN: This was supposed to be the epilogue. There is a second part though. I decided to put them together so that it would be longer.

David walked into school Monday wondering if everyone would realize he and Jack were together. They hadn't told anyone, but David thought the grin on his face would give him away. He hadn't been able to stop smiling since what had happened in the park. He was coming in during third period because his alarm clock had chosen that morning to break. It was partly his fault; he had thrown it against the wall. But he had fallen back to sleep afterwards. He saw Blink and Mush coming towards him and they were in their own world laughing and joking around. They didn't notice him as they walked past. But Specs noticed him when he walked by him. He grabbed David by the arm and shoved against the lockers.

"What's with the grin? Did you get laid?" He asked sticking his head in his locker.

David laughed at him and shook his head.

"How long have you and Dutchy been together?" David asked teasing him.

"Long enough for him to rub off on me. So are you going to answer me?"

"I didn't get laid." David said shaking his head.

"Then what gives?"

"I finally realized that I can have it all."

"Huh?" Specs took his head out of his locker and gave him a weird look.

"I found someone that understands me better than anyone I've ever met."

"You're in love? Who's the lucky girl?"

"You'll find out when everybody else does." David said patting Specs on the back before walking away.

He needed to talk to Jack. So far he hadn't seen him yet. He was walking by the music room when someone pulled him into the room. Before he could protest the person shoved him against the wall with one arm and shut the door with the other. David reached for the light switch but the person pushed his hand away.

"You want us to get caught?"

"Jack?"

"Duh." He said with a laugh.

David pulled Jack to him then wrapped his arms around his neck. Jack crushed his lips to David's with a groan. They had been sneaking around all weekend. And so far no one suspected a thing. They had gone to the movies and sat in the last row of the balcony so that no one would bother them. The theater was empty except for a few rows on the ground floor. Jack had learned that David could be aggressive when he wanted to be. David had all but sat in Jack's lap as Jack put his hands up his shirt. Saturday night Jack had come up with the idea that they should go up to the bluff over looking town. David was surprised that no one was there. It was the perfect place to go when you didn't want to be bothered. Jack had understood when David said that he wasn't ready to go any farther than kissing and he didn't attempt to go below David's belt. He could fell David pressing against him and moaning as his lips trailed down his neck to his chest so he knew that it wouldn't be long before things went to the next level.

The doorknob to the music room rattled making them pull apart. David leaned against Jack to keep from sliding to the floor.

"It's a good thing I locked the door."

"You think they'll go away?"

"If it's Medda she's gotta get the key from Kloppman."

Kloppman had been the school Janitor since Jacks' parents went to school there. He was a good guy. He was the one who usually let Jack and his friends sneak out when they ditched. Jack unlocked the door then stuck his head out the door. Medda was walking down the hall away from them so he took hold of David's hand and pulled him out of the room. He draped an arm over David's shoulders as he got closer to him. Skittery walked towards them and noticed how close they were.

"So you two are friends again?" He asked falling in step with them.

"You could say that." Jack said with a smile.

"Good. I was getting tired of dealing with Jack."

Jack reached to smack him upside the head with his free hand but he moved out of the way laughing. They walked down the hall to English but stopped outside the door.

"I'll ask Denton if I can switch back with Snitch." David said looking up at him.

Jack brushed his fingers across the nape of David's neck as he pulled his arm away. David looked over at him and smiled before walking into class. He walked up to Denton's desk and leaned down to talk to him. Jack watched them wondering if Denton would let David switch seats again.

"Shane looks like your sitting up front again." Denton said as the bell rang.

Snitch gathered his things as David stood a few feet away. He gave Snitch an apologetic smile as he sat down. Jack tapped on his shoulder and David turned his head to look at him. Jack winked at him before Denton started class. David smile widened as he turned to face the front again. Things were good for them right now. Whatever happened when everyone found out could be dealt with later. That was how David saw it.

Jack was waiting for David after his next class. David wasn't expecting that. Jack smiled at him he linked arms with him. To the trained eye it was like nothing had happened. They had been like this ever since they started being friends. Blink and Mush, were more touchy feely than Jack and David were. Speaking of Mush and Blink the two of them hadn't been seen since third period. They were acting weirder than normal. It was like they were in their own world and no one else was allowed in. Jack and Skittery said that they had been like that since they were kids. David thought there was something else there. But he wasn't going to ask either of them. It was their business, not his.

Jack led him into the cafeteria and over to their table. When they sat down David noticed Specs was sitting next to Blink and was laughing at something he had said. It was good to know that those two were finally getting along again. Jack reached for David's hand under the table. David gave it a gentle squeeze before lacing his fingers through Jacks.

"So I hear Davey's got a girl." Dutchy said getting everyone's attention.

David glared at Specs who shrugged his shoulders sheepishly.

"I tell him everything." Specs said trying to explain himself.

"I never said it was a girl." David said with a laugh.

"Yeah." Jack said putting his two cents in.

"Shut up Jack." David said with a laugh.

Everyone stared at them trying to figure out what was going on. Had they missed something? Yeah they were friends again, but they weren't acting any more weird than they normally did.

"You two are together aren't you?" Skittery asked finally realizing what David meant.

"Yeah. What are you gonna do about Newcomb?" Jack asked trying to sound tough.

"Absolutely nothing. I don't have a problem with it." Skittery said shrugging his shoulders.

"Anybody else wanna put their two cents in?" David asked looking around the table.

"Yeah." Race said standing behind them.

"What do have to say?" Jack said giving him a confused look.

"It's about damn time." Race said sitting on the other side of Jack.

Conversations picked up where they were left off. David looked over at Jack and gave him a wide smile. Jack pulled their hands from under the table and placed them on top of the table. David was glad everyone knew. He knew that they wouldn't have a problem with it. Seeing as over three fourths of them were gay themselves. But it felt good to have it out in the open. Even if he didn't have the courage to tell his family yet.
