A/N: Enjoy!

Chapter 13

Chris sat on the couch scrolling on his phone while he waited for Mike. He pressed his brows together looking at the post from Josh. It was a picture of him and Sam together. How long had those two been together Chris wondered. A month? No longer. What did it matter Chris was with Mike now and he was happy. Chris sighed signing out of his social media.

"You ready?" Mike asked entering the living room Chris smiled standing up.

"Yeah." He replied Mike held his hand out for Chris, Chris reached out taking it as they left the apartment.


There was a yearly fair happening, Chris and Mike decided to go a date to enjoy. Chris smiled as he looked around so many things to do he sniffed the air smelling all the food available.

"What do you want to do first?" Mike asked standing next to him.

"Let's try the rides!" Chris grinned. Mike laughed to see him so excited.

They walked heading to the rides. They got the tickets and went on a few rides then tried some games. It was a fun day for both of them. It began to get dark and the rides now were shiny with bright colors. Chris sat at the table waiting for Mike while he ordered their food.

"Mike!" the voice called. Mike looked back to see Josh with Sam.

"Hey." Mike greeted back.

"Babe, why don't you get us a table? I need to talk with Mike." Josh smiled Sam nodded heading off leaving the two.

"You got with Sam." Mike pointed out as Josh nodded.

"Yeah, anyway." Josh spoke.

"Sup?" Mike asked turning his attention to him.

"How's Chris?" Josh asked, Mike sighed crossing his arms.

"He told me what happened." Mike replied.

"Look I'm really sorry about that, but I'm with Sam now. I just want to make sure he's happy I do care for him still." Josh assured raising his hands up.

"Yeah man, he's good." Mike assured Josh smiled to hear.

"Good, take care of him Michael." Josh replied with a smile as he patted his shoulder leaving.

"Number 7!" the cook yelled Mike sighed shaking his head as he went to pick up the order.

Mike walked to the table where Chris was sitting he saw Sam sitting across him talking.

"Hey Sam." Mike greeted sitting the food down.

"Hey Mike." She greeted back as she got up.

"Was good talking to you Chris, I'll see you two around!" She waved leaving the two to enjoy their food. Chris smiled waving as he lowered his gaze.

"You ok?" Mike asked sitting down handing Chris his food.

"Y-yeah." Chris smiled looking up at Mike. Mike sat looking at Chris. He was confident he had won Chris they had been together now for a few months. But there were times were he couldn't help but feel that Chris thought about Josh. He couldn't blame him though he was with Josh since high school. He was sure Chris loved him deeply. But Mike had to be confident.

"Was there anything you wanted to do before we left?" Mike asked trying to distract Chris from whatever he was thinking about.

"There's going to be a firework display." Chris informed.

"Let's go." Mike smiled Chris looked up at him.

"Alright." Chris smiled back. They ate their food and relaxed a bit before heading to the display. It was dark now so they held hands as they made their way to the area where the fireworks would be at. They picked a spot on a hill. Mike sat with Chris next to him, there were others couples closer to the display. It gave the two some privacy but who would be watching them while the fireworks were fired into the sky? Chris sat admiring the colors in the sky. He sat watching them till something caught his eye, a few feet away he could see Josh and Sam together. They were staring into each other's eyes. Josh leaned in kissing Sam. Chris looked away feeling his heart clench in his chest. It hurt, no matter how many months may have passed Chris still loved Josh. Was he ever going to move on? Chris stood up making Mike look up at him.

"I-I need to go to the bathroom." He smiled looking down at Mike, it was a good thing it was dark. Mike couldn't see the pain expression Chris wore as he left.


Chris stood alone in the bathroom he splashed his face with cold water trying to make the tears stop. He choked as the knot snapped again. It hurt. It hurt him to see Josh with someone else. But if Chris was happy with Mike why couldn't Josh be happy? Chris was being selfish. He sniffed wiping his eyes as he reached over for his glasses.

"Here." The voice spoke. Chris looked up gasping to see Josh holding his glasses for him.

"Josh…"

"What's wrong?" Josh asked out of concern. Chris took his glasses looking down.

"Just. Had something in my eye." He lied pointing to eyes. Josh chuckled shaking his head.

"Did you get it out?" Josh asked. Chris looked up at him nodding.

"Think so."

"Let me have a look." Josh smiled as he stepped closer to him. Chris blushed as Josh held his face in his hands. Josh stood looking at his red eyes. Chris's heart was pounding loud against his chest. How long had it been since Josh and he were this close? Josh was close Chris could feel his breath on his face. Without warning Josh crashed his lips to Chris's lips. Chris looked at Josh wide eye as he held his face. Josh pulled away looking into Chris's eyes, Chris was lost for words as Josh leaned in again for another kiss. Chris closed his eyes wrapping his arms around Josh deepen their kiss. Their tongues battled. They stood with locked lips till Chris pulled away gasping for air Josh smiled as he caressed his red cheek.

"Josh…" Chris spoke.
