Kevin woke up early the next morning from the familiar sound of his phone ringing. Clyde was laying behind him. The brunette's chin was pressed against the smaller boys shoulder, and his arm was wrapped around him. He was practically spooning the other. They were so close Kevin could even feel his package standing up, and poking him in his lower back. The dresser had remained in front of the door all through out the night, though that wasn't the original plan, it was much nicer. They had their privacy, they could be as close as they wanted, and they were even oblivious to the fact any one had heard them but Esther.
It was such a nice feeling that it was hard to even answer the phone, but as he looked at the caller ID he knew he had to. It was Bradley Biggle. His best friend.
He whispered into the phone, to prevent himself from waking Clyde but his voice showed he was a little upset to be woken up this early " What in the name of all things Vulcan do you want at this time?"
"Kev! Why didn't you tell me?" The blonde boy practically yelled into the phone. His voice sounded almost hurt, but by what? Kevin had no idea.
He gently moved the other boy's arm off of him and sat up, he was extremely confused, right now and it was too early to play games like this.
" what are you talking about?"
"You're gay! Why didn't you tell me man, I could have kept your secret!"
Kevin practically gulped hearing those words come from his friend , and his voice raised a bit, though he didn't bother denying anything "how did you find out?"
He did think about his sister yelling at him last night to some extent, but she wouldn't have told, besides she had only heard him, for all she knew he could have been jacking off.
Clyde stirred a bit from the other's voice and softly leaned up. He looked at his boyfriend, trying to read his facial expression, though all he figured out was this wasn't good.
Bradley explained that he had hear it from a friend who heard it from a friend who had heard it from a friend and so on.
Then Kevin understood partially , the story had been twisted and changed as it had been passed on, and ironically wound up as the truth. What it started out as, and who started it remained a mystery but it didn't matter. People knew.
He dismissed his friend quite rudely then burrowed his face into the front of Clyde's shirt. He hadn't meant to come off as mean, but he didn't want to talk right now. News traveled fast in small mountain towns, it wouldn't be long till his life changed completely.
He didn't even say much to Clyde, and appeared to be shaken up. People had hated him before, and now things could only be worse. " They know Clyde... They know about me... They know I'm gay."
Who they was was still even a mystery, but from the way it sounded, both figured "they" meant everyone.
Clyde easily could read the fear in his face and voice so he gently pressed his lips against his forehead. " it will be alright Kevin.
He wasn't for sure if he believed him or not, and stayed silent as he nuzzled into his front. School started soon, and they would find out soon enough.
