2 Idiots in Love

(TW: Homophobia, slurs.)

"Boop!" I tap Amy's nose.

Laughing, she taps my nose back, "What are you doing? We need to study for the test."

"I knooow. But I'm bored." I said, half pouting, half smiling.

"That's not a good image on your behalf, you know?" 

Ugh, seriously? Don't tell me she's worried about my 'image' or some shit.

"But I'd like to see a rebellious side of you." She continued, putting a hand on her face.

I blush and hide my face.

"Ok. Whatever. Yep. By the way, do you have any phobias?" I say, spouting out random words. What the heck, why did I ask about her phobias? That's so random.

"..Do I have to answer? It's pretty embarrassing."

"You don't have to, but I'd like to know!"

"Heights." She fake coughs.

"What?"

"Heights."

"Aww I didn't know you were so cute behind that face!"

"Mmhmm... you?"

Getting abandoned, maybe. I wouldn't like that. After 'him'. Though, I can't say that. What's another fear I have..?

"Ummmm... I'd say spiders."

"And you said I was cute? Hah." She smiled.

"Whatever, spiders are scary either way. I don't like them. They're so... ew."

"Well.. should we go now? The library's closing soon."

Aww. Boo.

"Sure! Could I check out this textbook, though?"

"Okayyy. I'll wait for you."

As I walk up to the counter, I place my textbook on the desk. 

"Library card, please?" A familiar voice says.

"Ok, sure.." I rummage through my bag and find it, "Here..." I look up.

Him. Good riddance, that stupid piece of shit, August. 

His stupid red hair and green eyes. (No offense to red hairs and green eyed people. May's green eyed too.)

"...Oh." He says, eyeing me like he saw a dead animal, "It's you. Didn't realize. Still a fag?"

"The hell is wrong with you? Are you still not over me being bisexual?" I shoot back.

"Shut up. My God, you are so loud." He says.

"..Whatever. Check out my textbook, please?"

He takes it, rudely I note. And Amy shows up.

"Heyyyy!" She hugs me from behind, and I smile. She makes my mood better every time.

"What's up?" I say.

"Nothing, just thought you were taking long. Also missed you." She said, grinning.

"Hehe. You know I'll be coming over to your house?"

"You fucking done?" A voice cuts in.

"Goddamn, August just shut up." I say, rolling my eyes.

Amy steps back and kind of looks awkward and worried. She looks over at me and raises an eyebrow.

What's happening? You good? She mouths.

I nod.

"I won't. You convert back to being 'normal', or I'll talk and yell all I want." He said.

"I literally don't understand why it is so hard for you to get over it? I'm not your priority anymore?!"

Amy taps my shoulder.

I whisper, "You can go out. I'll be back soon."

She shoots me a worried glance at him, "You sure? I can stay." She whispered.

"I'll tell you about 'it' later."

"Fucking hell, May." He says after she leaves. "I don't understand. You dated me, and now you're dating a girl? You're not quirky or special. Just a player. I'll bet you don't even like her. Who even is she?"

"None of your business?" I shoot back.

"Yes, it is." He's so obsessive, it's crazy.

"Just admit you still like me. Even after what you've done to me."

"Fag." Is that all he's going to say? Because I don't mind.

"So you do?"

"Maybe I do. But you better convert back, or I won't come back."

"I hope you don't. Fuck you."

"Lesbo."

"I'm bisexual, actually."

"Whatever. You do know I'm going to attend Baylee High, though right?"

...What.

"I hate my life." And I walk out of the library.

May! She looks sad, though. :(

"Are you okay?" I ask her, holding her hands.

"Mhm." 

"Do you want to talk?"

"Sure."

We find a place near some flowers, because my house probably isn't the most suitable.

She rests her head on my shoulder. I pat her head.

"Sighhh. Amy, I don't know what to do." She says, her voice choking.

"Who was he..?"

"Ex." I almost audibly gasp. How dare he.

"What? Really? Why is he such a jerk, then?"

"I don't know, he's a wild one.. when I dated him, he was so possessive, didn't let me speak with guys, never let me wear revealing clothing, he had to know where I was, who I was with, and it all crumbled when I came out. He yelled at me for 'two-timing', saying I was a-- excuse my language, 'fag', he even slapped me once. When I once was with a girl, my friend by the way, he yanked me from the arm and accused me of cheating. I told him that's not how being bisexual works, I still love him and such, I don't like anyone else. He wouldn't believe me and so I broke up with him. The dipshit yelled at me and told the whole school, my old school, I was lesbian, though I was not, and a pervert. He said I peeked at girls changing and other shitty stuff. He said I used him for money, though scoff, what fucking money? And to put the cherry on top, he's going to transfer to this school. God.. I'm just so tired of it, Amy." She looked to the left and cried.

I hugged her and let her cry on my shoulder.

I wiped away her tears and let her look at me.

I looked at her lips, and almost slapped myself for it.

I kissed her on the cheek.

"Whatever happens, I'll be there for you." I said.

"Sniff. Sure, thank you." 

"..Shall we head to my house, m'lady?" I extend my hand.

"God, you are such a dork." She said, laughing, taking my hand.

Once we make it to my house, Smokey comes up to May and meows.

"Oh my gosh! You have a CAT?" May says.

"Yeah. Her name is Smokey. She likes it when you scratch her ear."

"Cute! I have a dog, Coco. Golden retriever."

"Really? I wanna meet him."

"Hehe, sure."

I lead her upstairs to my room. 

"Here it is...." Pause for dramatic effect. "My room. Woohoo."

I have my electric guitar put up, and drums. A few Cigarettes After Sex posters, along with Arctic Monkeys.

"Woah?!?!? You play the electric guitar?? AND DRUMS? Hot."

"..Hot?" I chuckle, blushing.

She stares at my posters and her eyes sparkle.

"You listen to Arctic Monkeys and Cigarettes After Sex, too?!"

"Y-yeah. My favorite song from AM is probably "Teddy Picker". For CAS, Cry or K. You?"

"'Arabella' and 'Sweet'. You are amazing."

I'm too busy watching her while she fangirls over my drums and guitar. She looks so happy, so without thinking I walk up and hold her face in my hands. 

I bring her face closer and May realizes what's happening, and accepts it. We bring our faces closer, and I put my lips onto hers, with my eyes closed. I hope hers are too.

As I pull away, "...Wait did we just have our first kiss in my room..?" I said. Oh my God, I'm so dumb.

"I guess we just did!" May says, smiling, "Your lips are soft. Hehe." 

Blushing, I put my face into my hands, "Ughhh. I was going to do it more romantically. Could we retry this?"

"More romantic than this? Can't wait."

"Stop it."

I sit on the bed and May sits beside me and snuggles up closer to me.

I rest my head on her head and we stay there for a bit.

"Wait. I wanna see you play the drums." May said

"You sure? They're loud. I have another set of ear plugs, if you wanna."

"Yeah!" She takes the ear plugs, "Right after, play the guitar please."

"Hah, sure. Be blown away from my awesome romantic drum skills."

"I am already, even though you're not playing anything."

"..Whatever."

"Hehe. Okay, okay! Go play now please!"

"Yeah, yeah."
