Day one and David was already rolling his eyes. The first thing he noticed was the way they hugged each other. They held each other longer, squeezed a little harder. Their faces tucked against each other's neck, probably smelling each other like secret lovers. Honestly, Nogla was tired of it.

"You know you guys aren't fooling anyone." He crossed his arms and they finally broke apart looking at him like he was crazy.

"The fuck are you talking about?" Evan gave him a dirty look and walked off to the car in the airport parking lot while everyone was ending their greetings. Nogla narrowed his eyes at Delirious as he watched him get into the passenger's seat. Beside Evan, always.

They thought he was joking, but deep down he wasn't. He knew that they had a thing for each other and it was getting on his nerves that they wouldn't come out and say it.


Day two and Nogla was watching them like a hawk. He woke and heard them giggling to themselves in the kitchen before anyone else had got up. They were sipping coffee, shoulders pressed against each other, heads ducked down close. Jonathan caught Nogla's eye when he came around the corner and tried to make it not so obvious as he moved an inch away from Evan. He used the coffee pot as an excuse to move even further away, filling up his still full cup.

Nogla just smirked and shook his head as he passed by into the living room to wake everyone else up.


Day three and they were all sitting on the beach as the sun was going down, drinking a few beers, laughing at each other. All of them except the two guys that had been skirting around each other the entire time they'd known each other. Evan and Jonathan were sitting closer to the water, side by side and David could see the way Jonathan was watching Evan's face as the Asian told him a story.

He was looking at him with bright eyes, like he was mesmerized, completely taken with every word that left his mouth. When the story was finished they looked at each other and smiled. Jonathan snorted on a laugh and fell to Evan's shoulder and that's how they stayed.

Nogla wanted to slap them both.


Day four and they were going to the movies as a big group to see the new Star Trek movie and Nogla trailed behind them all, wanting to scream because Evan bought Jonathan three boxes of Bunch-a-Crunch and a large bag of popcorn because he knew he loved it.

They sat beside each other and Nogla looked over part-way through and saw Delirious slip his arm beneath Evan's and scoot closer in his seat. He could see the small grin on Evan's lips as they both got comfortable and continued to eat their popcorn and chocolate.


Day five and they were all leaving Dave Buster's and Nogla was losing his mind because for whatever fucking reason, he was the only that could see them practically holding hands as they walked through the city. Their hands kept brushing and at one point Evan caught one of Jonathan's fingers with his own and neither one of them batted an eye or pulled away.

"It's kind of cold out here." Jonathan stated and Evan didn't hesitate to shrug the jacket off his shoulders and give it to him.

"You gotta be fucking kidding me." Nogla mumbled.

"What?" Lui asked.

"Nothing. I'll deal with this myself since no one else can see how gay they are."


Day six and they were all piled up in Evan's living room having a LAN party over Call of Duty and Delirious was asking Evan if he had some pajama pants he could wear.

Nogla followed behind them and shut the bedroom door when they both weren't looking. He tied a thick string from the doorknob to the knob of the hallway bathroom so when they pulled, it wouldn't open.

"Nogla, what the fuck?" He heard Evan on the other side.

"Open the fucking door!" Delirious yelled and beat his fist against it.

"No, ye fucks. I won't open it up until you admit your feelings for each other. Because I'm sick of it." He said and without another word, turned and took his seat in the living room.

Lui giggled, "You are unbelievable."


"So, what do we do?" Jonathan asked. "He'll open it eventually, right?"

Evan shrugged and fell to his bed with a heavy sigh. "Maybe."

"Oh! We could go all Mission Impossible and scale your balcony and climb through the other one." Jonathan joked and laid down beside him.

"Definitely not." Evan rolled to his side and smiled fondly. "I don't want to die today."

Jonathan faced him. They were close when he whispered. "We could just pretend. Just to satisfy him and get him to open it."

Evan's smiled faded.

He took Jonathan's fingers and threaded them together for the first time. Even though he knew it wasn't the first time they'd wanted to. "I don't want to pretend, because this is real."

"I didn't know you wanted it to be." Jonathan squeezed his fingers. "I always thought you wanted us the way we were. So I never went any further."

"I've just always been scared to go past that point with a guy. With you." Evan admitted finally and Jonathan smiled at their stupidity.

"Well, I think we're being pushed over that line by an angry Irishman. So I'd kiss me now if you value your life." He hummed and felt his face heating up as Evan cupped his jaw and smoothly pulled him in until they were kissing like teenagers, until their hands were up each other's shirt.

They both silently were thanking David for forcing them in a room together because neither one of them knew how long they would've kept up their act of pretending they didn't want to be anything more than they were.


Day seven and Nogla was untying the string from the doorknobs as the sun was barely coming up. His heart was more than a little warm and happy when he saw them asleep under the same sheets. Jonathan was curled up against Evan's chest, wrapped up in his arms, sleeping soundly.

Together at last.

Lui nudged him and whispered. "Good job, man. I think we've all been waiting for this."

Nogla smiled and shut the door with a quiet click. "Yeah. I think they've been waiting the longest."
