"This is so wrong... Kyle liked you first..." Josh said to himself as he laid in his bed which his arms behind his head. He turned to his side and imagined Declan beside him. "What should I do? Kyle would... He would feel so betrayed... I'm not a good person am I?"
As he sits in the living room watching television with Lori and Kyle he begins thinking...
I wonder... Are we fuck buddies or does he have feelings for me that I have for him...
"Josh? You seem lost." Lori asked.
"What? No I'm fine.. Can we watch something else?"
Kyle looked at the time on the cable box. It was almost 12 o'clock.
"Could you hand me the remote? My favorite show is almost on." Kyle asks. Curious as to what exactly Kyle does watch on television, Lori hands him the remote control. Kyle changes the channel. Its the national geographic channel.
"...Of course." Lori says snickering. Josh stands up and walks in front of Kyle's view. "Hand it over Kyle." Josh demanded. Kyle hid the remote behind his back under the couch cushion.
"Dammit Kyle!" Josh reaches behind Kyle for the remote as does Lori. Josh suddenly stops as he feels his cell phone vibrate in his pocket. He gets off of Kyle and walks away and checks his phone. It was a text from Declan.
"Can I come over?"
"Sure, I guess so."
................
"I'll be over in about 10 minutes. see ya soon."
Josh puts his phone back in his pocket. "Declan is coming over in a bit."
Lori and Kyle acknowledge what Josh says as Lori is tickling Kyle and Kyle is laughing hysterically.
Not long later, Declan arrives. He walks into the living room where everyone was sitting while Lori surfed through different channels on the television. Josh takes his seat and to no surprise to him, Declan sits next to him.
Lori felt an awkward aura around the three boys. "I think I'm gonna go wash my hair. I have to meet some friends at the mall." Lori says as she gets up and walks away leaving the three boys sitting in the living room.
Kyle wasn't felt really uncomfortable. He had thought that he was over Declan but feelings feel like they're about to set a blaze again. Josh on the other hand had a thousand thoughts running through his head while Declan on the other hand sat between Kyle and Josh laid back and relaxed.
How can he be so relaxed? Its like he has ice water in his veins. Doesn't he feel the awkwardness right now? Josh thought to himself.
"Declan, how are things coming along with that person you said you liked?" Kyle asked.
Josh's eyes widened in shock as he stared at the television.
"Oh, that? Well, we're going out now." Declan replied.
Going out now? So... He really does feel the same way about me... How should I feel? Should I feel happy or should I feel ashamed? I found someone that makes me happy yet I'm betraying Kyle...
"Would you tell me who it is now?" Kyle asked.
Declan paused. "I'd better not. I don't think he'd want someone to know we're going out..."
"Thats understandable. I hope you guys are happy." Kyle said.
Declan patted Kyle on the back. "Don't worry, Kyle. I'm sure you'll find someone too."
I'm such a prick... Its all my fucking fault. I should never have gotten involved! Look at the position I'm in now... I want to crawl under a fucking rock and die.
Josh got up. "I think I'm gonna take a nap. I don't feel well."
"Whats wrong?" Kyle asked.
Josh shook his head. "I just feel dizzy."
Declan looked at Josh as he walked away. "Oh... Okay then..." Kyle said. Kyle looked at Declan and moved next to him "I'm guess its just us then... What would you like to do?" Kyle asked.
This... Is awkward...
