Chapter 28
Piers Nivans
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! It's Valentine's Day and I'm so fucking nervous! What the hell is it about Claire that makes me freak out like this? I don't know what the hell I'm going to do for her after school, I just have to make it through the day and I can plan it at lunch... Wait, it is lunch! How did I really not realize that I was sitting at the table with Chris, Jill, Helena, Forest and Richard. Forest had asked Helena to be his valentine about five minutes ago, she said no but then kissed him so I'm a little confused. Forest looks confused too. "So Piers, what are you and Claire doing today," Jill asks innocently. Chris flashes me a look meaning 'don't do anything to my sister or I'll kill you'. "I don't know. I'm really freaking out!" "Just take her to a movie," Helena says. "Take her to go see Frozen," Chris says. "Really? Or are you trying to sabotage our date night?" "No! I wouldn't do that to you two. The movie is all over her Tumblr and she's been wanting to see it. Take her and she'll be happy." "I guess that's a good plan." Jill smiles and nods.
"What are your plans," I ask Jill. "I don't know," she looks to Chris. "We're going to Enzo's. That fancy place downtown." "Ew, fancy," Jill repeats. "Ew?" "I guess I'll get dressed up," she sighs. Chris laughs before they kiss. I can't believe I dated him. How did I manage that, he's really hot, but I'm with his sister now. That's awkward. But I am over Chris, that'd be too weird if I wasn't.
After school ended I went home with Helena and started to get ready for the date. She was going to meet me at my house at 8 because my house was close to the movie theater. At 7:45 I panicked. Helena was upstairs and I was waiting in the living room alone. I felt my throat close and I begin to sweat, a weight felt like it was crushing my chest. I can't move, can't think. A few seconds later Helena came down and grabbed me, sitting me down on the couch. "Piers, calm down. You're fine. It's all okay." I started to calm down and breathe again. "Maybe I shouldn't go." "No Piers, you have to. She's your girlfriend and you love her. You need to relax." The doorbell rung. "Fuck," I yell. "Go answer it and go to the fucking movie Piers!"
I open the door and there she is. She looks so perfect. Her dyed auburn hair is in it's usual ponytail, while she wears a casual red dress. Her blue eyes contrast with the red and, well, she just looks beautiful. "H...Hey Claire." "Hey Piers, ready to go?" "Yeah," I go inside and grab my keys before following her. We walk to the theater since it's only maybe seven blocks from my house. "So, how was your day," she asks. "Fine. I mean, it was school so..." "Why are you so nervous Piers? We've been dating for about a month and a half now." "I just, I want tonight to be perfect. It's Valentine's Day, that's important for us as a couple!" "It'll be fine, as long as we're together."
So we bought the tickets and were walking toward the food court when I see him. Why is he here? This couldn't get any worse. Dave is walking by with another guy. Holy shit, this couldn't be any worse. I try to cover my face by looking around, but he saw me. "Piers?" I look up at him. "Oh, hi Dave." Claire also says hi to him, and the man he's with who's name seems to be Greg. "So, what are you doing here," Dave asks. "Oh, you know. Just taking my girlfriend out for Valentine's day. What about you?" "Doing the same with my boyfriend." "I'm going to go get the popcorn, you guys chat," Claire says and walks to the cashier. Why did she have to leave me alone? "So, nice beard," Dave smirks. "She's not a beard!" "Piers, I know you're gay. You don't have to hide it, everyone knows." "I'm not hiding it! I really like her!" "Oh shit, isn't that Redfield's sister?" "Maybe." "Can't believe you're using your best friend's sister as a beard!" "She's not a beard! And who's this? Your new boyfriend?" "Yeah actually, this is Greg." "Hi Greg, has Dave told you about his last boyfriend? The one he broke up with after his mother died?" Greg shoots Dave a look. "I didn't." "Oh no, so I wasn't driven to suicide by you?" "Piers..." "What's going on," Claire came back. "Nothing, let's go." I take her hand and walk with her into the movie theater, number 23.
Chris Redfield
Jill and I sat at Enzo's together enjoying a well cooked meal. I had to admit, this was a little too fancy for our taste, but it was still nice to have a real date like this. Jill's in a red dress with a plunging neckline that exposed most of her cleavage, and had a small slit in the side of the dress making it fall nicely around her well toned legs. Her hair was done, but let down and out of that ponytail for once. I had no problem with how it usually was, it was just nice to have something different. "I got you something," I smiled at her. She smiled back, tilting her head slightly to show she was flattered yet surprised. I take out a black necklace box and hand it to her. She opens it and her eyes open with awe. "Wow." "I had to save up like half my year's paycheck and my Christmas bonus to buy that. I know it's not the best but..." "I love it!" "You do?" She nods as she puts it around her neck. It's basically diamonds connected and running around her neck. I'm not really good at describing it, but it was nice. She seemed to love it too, thank god. I was afraid she'd hate it.
"Thank you," she smiles. "No problem, Valentine." I wink at her. "You're so cheesy." I shrug and we both laugh. "Thanks." We both move in for a kiss. "I love you." She smiles in reply. "I know, and I guess I love you too." We smile at each other, not saying a word but cherishing the moment. "Wonder how Claire and Piers are doing." "Chris, she's fine. Stop worrying about her. You know Piers, he's your best friend for Christ's sake!" "I'm not worried. I'm just hoping Piers isn't making a fool of himself." "He probably is."

Claire and I sat in the back of the theater, mostly cause it was dark and we could make out without people seeing our faces. We didn't start kissing until maybe ten minutes into the actual movie, but as the ads started in the beginning Dave and fucking Greg come in. They don't acknowledge me this time, but they saw me and sat right in front of us on purpose. So making out might've been both for pleasure and to mess with Dave. I think Claire picked up on the latter because she kicked Dave's chair a few times and his head once too. That was no lust driven accident. This is one of the reasons I love her!
The whole movie? We made out for the whole movie?! Wow, time flies when you're having fun! Dave wasn't too happy about his chair, or his head, but fuck him anyway! "Great seeing you again," I say with a great amount of sarcasm. He looks like he bites his tongue and Greg rests his hand on Dave's shoulder. Claire and I smile as we pass and then leave the theater. "That was amazing," Claire sounds sincere but she could be lying for all I knew. I don't reply but after I few seconds I say, "Thanks." She raises an eyebrow. "No! I mean... For kicking Dave! I'm not... ugh!" She laughs, "I get it Piers. I love you." She curls into my side and I put an arm around her. She said it... She said I love you first! Wait, what? This is big! This is the first time we've said it! "I love you too." She smiles and we walk back to the house. We go to my place and I invite her in. This wasn't the original plan, but I can't have people say I let my girlfriend walk me home. She accepted and we head up to my room. Dad knew she was here, didn't she was my girlfriend. He still thought I was gay.
So the night began with kissing, then we were interrupted by a yell. I couldn't tell where it was coming from at first but then I saw the window was open and so was Jill's. And Chris happened to be trying to climb out of Jill's and into mine with an angry expression on his face. "Ew Chris, get out of here," Claire yelled. She walked over to the window and closed it just before Chris' foot made it to my window. I saw Jill pulling Chris back into her house and I think she was yelling, "Let them be" but I couldn't hear her. Claire then closed the blinds so Chris couldn't see and then tackled me onto the bed. I expected more making out but then she moved for my pants. I guess today was the day for firsts. She throws my scarf from her neck to the ground. And as we kiss, we pull of articles of each other's clothing. Before it even really registered, we were having sex, and wow it felt good! This was her first time, like I said, the night of first. So there was some discomfort on her end, but after the initial pain, we were both in ecstasy.
Jill Valentine
"Chris, calm down." I put a palm to my forehead. "They're having sex!" "I know Chris." "And I'm suppose to be calm?!" "Yes Chris, you are. You should trust them! I'm sure she's being safe." "But she be innocent anymore." "Shut the fuck up Chris. They love each other, get over it." He lets out a sigh, "I guess you're right." Yeah I am. Piers is responsible and so is Claire. I trust them, even though I have no say in it anyway. I can atleast try to convince Chris. I look over to the window and see Piers open the shade. Claire moves over to the window and Piers puts his arm around her. Both are wearing their underwear. I smile back and wink. Chris moves over to us too. "Open the window," Chris says. I open the window and cover my eyes. Piers and Claire turn around and leave the room, probably for the best. Wait, but where did they go in their underwear?

Claire and I moved to Tom's old room, that one had a lock, and a window that Chris couldn't climb through. "Well, that happened," Claire smiles. I laugh before I hear something drop. "Oh hi Piers," my dad says from the stairs. "Oh, hey," I say as I throw Claire into the room, and block myself with the door. He goes to pick up the book he'd dropped and I head in. "Piers... Can I talk to you?" "Um, now isn't the best time Dad so ugh... I'll put it into my schedule." He just gave me a stare and I came out and walked over to him after closing the door. "Did you just have sex, with a girl, in my house?" "Maybe...?" "But I thought...?" "I don't know, I'm confused. It all just happened... We started dating after the Christmas Party." "And you didn't tell me?" "I didn't think you cared that much about my love life dad." "Well I mean, this is a whole new way of life for you. Ah, the wonders of girls. I couldn't really give you any advice when you were into guys, but now... You did use protection right?" "DAD! Of course we did!" "Good, because this is different than with a guy. She could get pregnant if you didn't!" "Dad, I know." "Well, no more sex in my house! Gay or straight! Or else you'll end up living at her place." "Um, okay." He nods and then heads for his bedroom. That was the most awkward conversation I've ever had with my dad, this beats all of them.
"Are we in trouble," Claire asks as I re-enter the room. "Nah, we just can't do it here or I'll be living on the streets." I rub the back of my head and she laughs. She had a sweet laugh, very feminine and soft. Where's Helena? The light turns on in the room and Helena sits up in the bed. "Guys... Really? I was sleeping!" "Oh, hey Helena," I shrug. "Why are you here?" "Chris and Jill can see us in the other room." "Put down the shades." "We did, but I think Chris knows we just had sex. So, I'm not putting it behind him to just through our window and strangle me." "So you want to switch rooms?" I nod. She lets out an annoyed moan and then grabs her pillow before walking toward the door. "Wait..." She freezes in place. "Did you say you had sex?" She turns around dramatically. Claire and I both nod in unison as our cheeks light up. Helena's mouth spreads into a huge smile and runs and tackles me. "I'm so proud of you! Look at how my little gay husband has grown!" I laugh nervously, looking over to Claire hoping that she didn't hear that. But then again, she knew me when I was gay so she must be okay with it. Come to think of it, she knew me when I was dating her older brother. Okay, I just made it weird.
