No Surprises - Radiohead

Iancorn

"Come on, Kalel." Anthony whispered, slipping his shoes off and quietly climbing up the stairs with his stack of pancakes, "He might wake up if we go any slower."

"So, we made him pancakes and an actual cake?" She asked, following him up.

"Yes." Anthony said softly, then gently opened the door.

"Surprise….?"

It was intended to come out as a shout, but upon seeing someone in Ian's bed with him, and upon realizing it was a man, the word was dampered.

"Shhh." The man held up his hand, "You might wake him."

"Who are you?"

He propped himself up off Ian's chest a bit, "Ah. Anthony, right? Ian talks about you a lot."

"Who are you?" Anthony repeated.

"You mean Ian hasn't told you yet?" He frowned, "Hmm….I told Matt and Josh."

"Don't make me ask you again."

"David Moss." He shrugged, "I work for Clevver Games. They call me Lasercorn."

Kalel smiled, "Yeah! I remember you. You were at that big fancy YouTuber party thing Clevver threw a few months ago."

"I've talked to Matt about forming one big super group of Smosh Games, but I'm not sure how that's going to be taken by the world." Anthony said, "Wait, why the fuck are we being so casual I just found a man in my best friend's bed."

"Be quiet. He's sleeping." David frowned, looking down at Ian like he was the greatest thing he had ever laid eyes on, "Let him rest. He's worn out from last night."

"What happened last-oh." Anthony looked down as Kalel put her hand on his shoulder.

"Sorry." David looked back over at Anthony, "I shouldn't have said that."

"No, you probably shouldn't have."

Ian stirred and began kissing along David's neck. Anthony began to realize that he really didn't care if his best friend was dating a guy, it only mattered that he was happy.

"Ian, we have company…." He craned his neck and his voice slowly drifted off.

Ian nibbled on David's earlobe, "Hmm?"

"You have a birthday visitor."

"I have a-what?" Ian looked up and saw Anthony, who waved nervously.

Ian leaned back, "No….I didn't want you to find out like this."

"Well, when were you going to tell him, Ian?" David frowned, "It's been almost a year and a half and he just found out today."

"I was going to tell him at some point." Ian huffed, though he knew that wasn't entirely the truth.

In all honesty, Ian had been afraid to tell Anthony because he was afraid of Anthony's reaction. He wasn't sure how it was all going to go down, but now he felt better.

"So you're cool with all this?" Ian looked at Anthony.

"Of course I am."

"A year and a half?" Kalel crossed her legs, "Let's spill the details."

"I fell in love with the loser who blew me in the McDonald's bathroom." David grinned at Ian, "A novel by David Moss."

"Don't you fucking even joke about turning our romance into a book." Ian warned him, pulling him closer to kiss his forehead.

"You haven't kissed full on the mouth yet…." Anthony frowned, "Is something wrong? That's the first thing I would've expected Ian to do."

"Actually, I taste like shit in the morning." Ian laughed, "So we never kiss until we're both up and or have eaten."

Anthony shrugged, "I brought you food."

"You did?"

"Happy Birthday, Ian. Just….next time, no surprises, okay?"

Ian nodded and dug into the pancakes.

"Warn me before you two have another fun night so I don't walk in on you."
