Part 1 of 2
So…I'm back! I'm home, I'm tired but at least I'm home.
I will now release the very upsetting news that in twelve days I will start my Marching band Training. And straight after that I will be going back to school. so…I will try very hard to update this school year but I think it's best to let you all know that things will be slowing down very soon.
My vacation ended on a very bad note. My iPod fell into the river and I lost six chapters that I had written down on it. I've lost everything from my music to pictures to one shots. Very angry at that but…yeah.
Anyways, hope you guys enjoy this chapter!
Don't forget to review!
EVENT: First relationship.
JASON: Fifteen.
It's during one of their tutoring sessions that Jason notices the way Charlie stares at him when he thinks Jason isn't looking.
For the first time ever, Jason's actually uncomfortable around Charlie and he doesn't like it.
"Um…so…do I have something on my face?" Jason asks, making a desperate attempt at making a joke.
Charlie only blushes and looks away from his friend.
"No dummy." Charlie chuckles.
"Is something wrong?" Jason asks cautiously.
"No. Why?" Charlie asks with a frown.
"You're acting weird. You've never acted weird."
"Jase…I have to tell you something. But you have to promise not to freak." Charlie mumbles softly, his green eyes flashing anywhere but to Jason's eyes.
"What's up Charlie? The mode is seriously setting in with all this pouting."
"Shut up! Like you've ever experienced any whelming aster recently." Charlie laughs.
"Charlie, Don't! Quoting my pop is probably the weirdest thing you can do."
"You're such a dork!" Charlie mumbles through his fits of laughter.
"Seriously though. What's got you all squinked?" Jason asks and throws a pillow at his friend playfully.
"Do you remember when we were little and we'd promise to tell each other everything?"
"Yeah."
"And you made me swear to always keep it between us whenever you'd tell something."
"Uh-huh."
"This is one of those times."
"Charlie, you can trust me. Promise."
"Jase…I think I like guys." Charlie whispers, his voice just loud enough for Jason to hear.
Jason feels his cheeks heat up and watches as Charlie looks at him patiently.
"Charlie…what brought on these feelings?" Jason asks quietly.
"I…I can't tell you." Charlie whispers.
"I won't judge you. Come on Charlie, please?"
"Jason…I can't."
"Charlie…this doesn't change anything between us. We're still best buds."
"Do you remember our seventh grade class trip to happy harbor? We were separated into groups by gender and the guys got to head down to the beach?"
"Yeah. You dragged me into the beach even though I didn't want to get salt water into my eyes."
"Remember when we got out of the water? You went over and played volleyball with some of the other guys."
"okay?"
"That's the day I started having feelings…for you." Charlie whispers shakily, his face pale from the nerves he's enduring.
"Me?" Jason looks at the blond boy in shock. He was sure that it was Robin who'd rustled up these feelings…not Jason himself!
"Yes…I understand if you want to leave. It's a lot to take in."
"Charlie…do you like anyone else? Am I the only one you like?" Jason asks softly, forcing the shock away in order to deal with the current…situation.
"Promise not to freak out."
"I swear Charlie." Jason grabs Charlie's hand and squeezes gently.
"That new guy…Robin. I kissed him a few nights ago."
"Robin? I thought you said he was a prick."
"I thought he was but then he saved me…and he was nice and protective and…I don't know, I guess I just kissed him. It's not like he'd ever like me back anyway. He left right after. Didn't even talk to me."
"He's an idiot." Jason says and scoots closer to his friend.
The truth?
Jason couldn't stop thinking about that night.
He could feel Charlie's lips on his own and although it scared him a little, he wanted that to happen again.
And this was his chance!
Charlie liked him and Jason could have Charlie all to himself!
"What are you talking about?" Charlie asks with a roll of his eyes.
"Charlie…" rather than explaining with words…Jason shows what he wants to say with actions.
A quick swoop forward and Jason's lip locked with Charlie.
There's no response for about a second or so…then Charlie snaps to the present and is kissing back.
The kiss isn't anything special.
Their mouths move slightly, the light pecks are nothing but sweet and loving.
Jason's hands move over to Charlie's waist unconsciously and Charlie's move to tangle into Jason's hair.
They pull away eventually and Charlie surprises Jason by hugging him tightly.
"You like me?" his Irish accent makes Jason smile and he nods with a chuckle.
"Duh. I wouldn't have kissed you otherwise."
"Jase? What…what does that make us?" Charlie asks, pulling back to look up at the other boy.
"What's that one word you're supposed to use when a guy holds your hand," Jason tangles his fingers with Charlie's and leans forward. "and kisses you." A light peck on the lips is given. "and likes you a lot."
"B-boyfriend." Charlie gasps, his face a bright red.
"Yeah…that." Jason smiles cheekily before moving forward to plant another kiss on Charlie's face.
