Chapter 10- Conversations and Confessions

"Dil?" Phil asked, getting to his feet and helping Dil to stand up, "You okay?" Phil asked, putting his hands on Dil's shoulders, not noticing the younger teens light blush.

"Y-Yeah. I'm fine. A-Are you okay?" Dil asked, looking down at his feet, "Sorry for knockin' you over Phil."

"It's okay. I'm fine. Just be careful next time." Phil said with a grin.

"That's good." Dil said, smiling back at him, "I'll try but careful is not somethin' I excel at." Dil continued with a small laugh.

"Good enough. Now come on, I want food." Phil said with a grin, grabbing Dil's hand and tugging him along as Tommy and Chuckie trailed slowly along behind them.

"Was it just me or did Dil seem slightly red just then?" Tommy said with a smirk.

"Yeah. Do you think he-?" Chuckie asked, pausing as a hesitant hand slipped in to loosely hold his.

"Yeah. I think he does." Tommy said, a light blush on his face as he smiled.

Squeezing gently, Chuckie smiled happily for a few moments before Tommy asked, "Ch-Chuckie?"

"Yes Tommy?" Chuckie asked pulling the younger male to a stop.

"I was just-um- wondering what we-um-are?" Tommy asked, looking down at his shoes shyly, realising that this was usually what Chuckie did when he was scared.

Before Chuckie could respond however Phil was looking back at them and calling, "Hey. Are you two okay?"

Turning around quickly Chuckie called back, "Yeah, we'll be there in a bit. Just need to talk about something." Chuckie smiled happily at Phil.

"Okay. See ya soon. Don't take too long or all the food'll be gone." Phil said, grinning back before tugging Dil to go and sit down at their usual table.

"Now then, your question." Chuckie said turning back around and smiling gently at the curious teen.

"Yeah. I'd really like to know the answer to that please." Tommy said with a shy smile.

"I... I really like you Tommy." Chuckie said, lifting Tommy's chin and looking into his eyes, "I'd like to cuddle with you and make blanket forts and watch Netflix with hot milo and kiss you and go on dates and really, what I'm saying Tommy is that I'd like to date you if you'd allow that?"

Chuckie blushed and waited for an answer from Tommy.

Tommy was blushing just as much as Chuckie while he smiled happily.

"Yes!" Tommy said, launching himself forward and hugging Chuckie, "Yes please." Tommy continued after he'd calmed down, "I'd like that." Tommy mumbled before giving Chuckie a quick kiss.

Chuckie grinned happily and hugged the younger tight and kissed him gently, quickly pulling away when he remembered where they were.

"So... Shall we go and get food now?" Tommy asked, a giant smile on his face as he slowly let go of Chuckie.

"Y-Yeah. Let's go." Chuckie said before asking something, "So, um, Tommy. Do you mind if we keep us a secret for now?"

Tommy was silent for a moment, "Okay. Just for now though. I wanna tell them eventually. Besides, Kimi, Lil and Fred already know." Tommy said quietly as they walked through the cafeteria doors and went to sit down with their friends.

"Okay." Chuckie said to Tommy as they sat down, before saying, "Hey." To all of their friends.

"Hiya." Dil said from his spot between Phil and Lil, his face red as he ate his chicken sandwich from home.

"Heya." Kimi said, grinning at the two of them.

"Hey." Phil managed to say between giant bites of chicken burger.

"Hi." Fred said with a grin.

"Hi, hey, whatever. Sit down and eat you two. I wanna go and play soccer; I'd be two players short without you. So come on." Lil said, whining slightly towards the end.

"Okay." Tommy said with a smirk as he started eating his ham sandwich.

"Fine." Chuckie sighed as he started to make and eat his Caesar salad.

By the time they'd all finished there was twenty minutes of break left and Lil was rushing them all out the doors to play 3-on-3 soccer.
