Lucas knew any attempts at leaving would be thwarted so he just stayed in the room, the girls watching him. A mix of emotions in their eyes, and it wasn't long before Farkle had appeared at the bay window. He climbed in the window and took a seat next to Lucas as Maya stood up, Riley following Maya's lead before the pair of girls left the room. It was quiet for a little while before Lucas said something.
"I get it; you don't like me like that. Okay. I'm sorry I told you, we can just forget it and you can continue winning back Smackle." Lucas' eyes never meet Farkle's as he spoke; he wanted to look everywhere but at his friend. But the feeling of his hand being held made him turn.
"Me and Smackle agreed long ago that we were just friends. That we weren't working out as a couple." Farkle spoke, biting his lips a little before continuing. "She has actually been helping me out with something. I needed to do some research on my own, well away from you and the others."
"Why? We would have helped you?"
"I know, but this was something I needed to do for myself before coming to you guys. It was a part of finding out who I am. And I have got one more piece of me figured out."
"Yeah? And what did your research give you?"
"That there is more than one sexuality, and I have discovered that I am bisexual."
Lucas tilted his head slightly "B-Bisexual?"
"Yeah. I'm attracted to both males and females."
"Oh…" Yes Lucas' knows the term; he's just in a little shock right now. The Texan let out a shallow breath, eyes watching the other carefully. Farkle was able to admit it out loud, yet Lucas still couldn't utter those words about himself.
"And something else I came to realise, though I realised this not too long ago." Not even half an hour ago did he figure this out about himself, when his sister accused him of dating Lucas. He had felt something ping at the thought, but it went when he said he wasn't. "I like Lucas. I really do, and I am not saying this to play with you. Your feelings, they're mutual."
The older's jaw dropped as he looked at his friend, trying to see if he was lying at all but he couldn't see any signs of it. A smile started to spread across his lips and he noticed Farkle lean in and pressed a kiss against his lips. It was a soft, gentle kiss and Farkle pulled away. "I-You want to go on a date?"
Farkle laughed a little, a huge grin spread across his lips. "Of course I would love too."
"You see, asking doesn't hurt." It was Zay's voice as the male walked into the room, a bowl in his hands. That was what he said before he left the room.
Farkle and Lucas made it back to Farkle's apartment; they were holding hands the whole way. Riley and Maya had apparently sneaked their way onto the fire escape to watch what had happened, and congratulated the pair on doing something. It was now getting late into the night, and the pair were watching a few movies in Farkle's room, cuddling into each other when Lucas' phone went off. Farkle paused the movie as Lucas answered the phone. The brunette couldn't help but notice the frown that spread across the other's lips as he listened to whoever was on the other side of the call.
"Mother, I don't understand. What's going on?" Lucas asked after a little while, it looked like tears were starting form as his mother talked on the other side. "…No. NO! He can't do that… Mum, don't let him do that… I will go back. I will make sure he doesn't. Goodnight Mother." And with that Lucas chucked the phone on the bed, Farkle wrapped an arm around Lucas' shoulder's, rubbing his arm a little.
"What's going on?" He asked gently.
"My father, he's going to sell all of Nick's things. He can't do that, so I'm going to find a way to Texas as quick as I can."
"Nick?" Farkle questioned with a tilt of his head as he looked at the other. He's never heard of someone called Nick. Lucas has never spoken of him.
The Texan sniffled a little. "Nick. I had a brother. I don't like talking about him. He died when I was seven." And that was the year his parents started fighting, well fighting more. He let out a soft sigh before crawling under the blankets. "Can we go to sleep now?"
Farkle let out a sigh himself before nodding his head, turning off the TV and cuddling into Lucas's chest.
