A/N: Wow, I didn't know that RonSlash fics were so rare. Anyways, back by popular demand, is your second chapter.

Josh was surprised at his own confidence. Not to mention his own arrogance. He had actually assumed beforehand that Ron would say yes, but looking back now, felt like a fool at that notion. He could have just as easily been rejected horribly, with some comment like, "I don't like monkeys, and I don't like Mankey". But luckily, he wasn't, and now he was floating on air. Now was his chance. And he was nervous as hell. Questioning yourself a bit is normal when making a big decision that could affect the rest of your life, but throw someone else into the mix and you've got yourself a stresspot. He was placing Ron into a situation that might ruin his life, and he felt horribly about it. But if he was ever to be honest with himself again, he had to risk it. Besides, he was pretty sure that he was right. The signs had all shown up. But were those really worthy of putting himself into a potentially humiliating position?

He was deliberating all of this when he walked directly into Ron. While they scrambled to pick up the papers Ron had been carrying (they were all over the corridor now) they heard laughing behind them. Josh turned to see his girlfriend, Bonnie, standing less than three feet away.

"Why are you helping this loser?" she said. "You're so much better than that."

He muttered, no, I'm only as good as he is, but he said nothing intelligible and continued picking up the papers. As he had expected, Bonnie grabbed his arm and pulled him up into a kiss. "Come on, cutie. Let's go somewhere and leave this guy in his misery."

He struggled out of her grasp gently, trying not to hurt her. Why shouldn't I hurt her? He thought. She's hurt so many others…But all he did was free himself from her grasp and say, "I don't think things are working out. Maybe we should see other people."

She stared at him in shock for a moment, and then laughed.

"You're such a kidder. Come on, let's go."

"No, Bonnie, I'm serious."

Her eyes widened. Then her face contorted angrily, and she started to yell.

"HOW DARE YOU! I GIVE YOU EVERYTHING, EVEN MY VIRGINITY, AND YOU DO THIS TO ME!?"

"You didn't give me your virginity," he said sadly. "You took mine."

She ground her teeth together and stalked off down the hallway.

"You better go after her," Ron said, picking up the last of the papers.

Josh frowned at him and then looked away.

"No. She's taken too much from me already." He sighed, and then said too quietly to hear, "I' rather spend time with you anyway."

"Huh?" Ron said, stacking the papers.

"Nothing," Josh said after a short pause. "You want to go to lunch?"

Ron smiled widely. "Sure!"

They headed off down the hall together, people's stares at their backs.
