Chapter Text
“So let me get this straight,” Charlie began, sitting on Jack’s bed with an expression of eager anticipation. “Davey confronted you in the school parking lot when you were getting in your car. He was really upset, you talked it out, kissed him, and then asked him out.”
Jack fell backwards, his back thumping against the mattress. “That’s pretty much it. Except he kissed me. I didn’t initiate it.”
“Wow, that’s a shock. You’re always the horny one in relationships.”
“Oh, shaddup, wouldja?” Jack rolled over, glaring at his little brother. He sighed, picking up his phone to check for a text. Still nothing.
“I’m just stating the obvious,” Charlie replied, glancing at the glowing screen.
“He keeps leaving me on read. I dunno what to do.”
“He’s probably going through the same thing you are. Raving to Sarah about how he kissed you and is panicking.”

“SARAH, OH MY GOD, I’M GONNA DIE, I’M GONNA DIE, I SWEAR TO GOD-“
“What? What, David, c’mon, calm down, Davey, TALK TO ME!” Sarah’s frantic voice echoes throughout the car.
Davey takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
“I kissed Jack. I kissed a boy.”
In contrary to her words from not even a minute before, now, Sarah was the one freaking out.
“What?! YOU’RE GAY?!”
“I know, I know- it’s a lot. And yes, I’m gay. And yes, Jack asked me out.”
“…are you gonna take him up on the offer?”
“Yeah. He keeps texting me, though, and I don’t know what to say, so I keep leaving him on read-“
“Well, don’t do THAT!!”
“Okay, okay- fine-“
