ｃｈａｐｔｅｒ ｔｗｅｎｔｙ－ｆｉｖｅ

It seemed like their argument never happened; Mikey and Jasper went back to how they were before it. They joked around, sent selfies to one another, but those seemed to grow more risky with each passing one. Surprisingly it was Jasper who started it, but Mikey was intrigued and turned on, staring a little too long at the blurry picture of Jasper's bare upper body from the bathroom mirror as he stepped out of the room.

The only thing the newly twenty-one year old could think to respond with was a picture of most of his face and a filter that added a sparkly blush to his cheeks and the sentence—hot—over his mouth. There was the constant thought in Mikey's head that he may have gone too far with Jasper, but the older of them didn't seem to care. It looked like he was into it, and Mikey didn't know how to feel—happy and try seeing how far he could go, or stay there with handjobs and sex.

Jasper snapped back, stfu, hoe, written with a filtered picture. Yet, Mikey still saw his best friend as hot and attractive. There was no denying it anymore, especially not after the very least of a year of having sex with Jasper Kirk, but now he's had his hand around his friend's dick more than once. He was both sexually and romantically attracted to Jasper and could not deny it anymore. He's told Aiden, so what was so hard about his grandma or even Jasper himself?

Instead of mulling over coming out, Mikey stuck his tongue out and typed, only for you with a kissing emoji, and added a heart sticker. He was feeling bold and apparently Jasper wasn't against it either.

They snapped for a little more until Jasper explicitly told Mikey to come over. Mikey didn't know if he meant for something else, but with a confirming snap that he didn't care but was more focused on watching a show with him, the young adult got in his car and drove over to the Kirk household. He'd told Aiden where he was going at ten at night and ignored the look he was given.

Aiden did call out after him, "use protection," and Mikey slyly responded, "we always do."

Then, he was driving to his best friend's home and dancing to the song on the radio. He parked and went inside, only having his phone and charger on his body, not needing anything else since he had clothes at Jasper's place as did Jasper at his. It'd been like that for as long as they were teens and not awkward with sharing clothes.

Jasper was lying on his bed without a shirt on still and Mikey involuntarily drank up the image, etching the image into his brain. He closed the door after stalling under the doorframe, Jasper's eyes seeking his.

"Hey, Mikey," he said sweetly and saw the beet red face his best friend had—cheeks horribly warm and his ears turning red as well. Jasper chuckled from the look, but nodded his head to encourage Mikey to lay next to him. He had to know how Mikey felt about him, the latter thought as he dropped onto the mattress.

As they were used to lying on Jasper's small college bed, the double-sized bed at the Kirk house left them plenty of room. But, Mikey laid with his shoulder lightly touching Jasper's. He looked at the tv and saw the familiar face of some actor he found extremely hot.

He muttered, hopefully to just himself, "fuck, I'm surrounded by hot guys." Then, he covered up his sentence with asking Jasper, "so what are we watching?"

The college student smiled widely and closed out of the show he was watching and clicked into Netflix. He chose the movie he wished to watch with his best friend, hoping to be able to use Mikey as a pillow in the end. Once it started playing Jasper felt his friend move around until they were basically cuddling.

Mikey has his side pressed into Jasper's and his head leaning towards the other's. The soft hair or Mikey tickled Jasper's shoulder and he scrunched away, brushing away the hair. He quietly apologized into the dark room and focused his attention on the screen.

It took until the movie tensed and Mikey gripped his friend's bicep with his short nails digging into the soft skin. Jasper winced and pulled his arm away, looking over to his best friend—Mikey's face screwed together in a hard cringe and eyes almost closed. So, Jasper grabbed his hand and laces their fingers together, watching from the corner of his eyes as Mikey'a face morphed into surprise. But, Jasper saw the raised eyebrows, then the appreciative, small smile. Mikey tightened his hold and used it as a way to get out his anxiety for the movie—Truth or Dare.

When they finished the movie Jasper chuckled at his best friend who was glaring towards the ceiling, his bottom lip between his teeth. Jasper couldn't help but imagine what it would feel like to align their mouths together and kiss his best friend. But, he told himself to not do that and looked away, but kept his hand in Mikey's grasp.

"You okay," Jasper asked with a light laugh and Mikey growled.

"I hate those types of movies. I'm fine with horror films, but suspenseful or tense ones like that are the ones I absolutely loathe!"

The next words tumbled from his lips without his brain thinking them over: "do you want a kiss for comfort?"

It didn't seem to bother Mikey since he mumbled something under breath while turning his head to look at Jasper's wall. Jasper made him repeat it and he nonchalantly said, "that's gay."

"You legit can't say anything, Mikey. Shut the fuck up."

He hummed, thinking over Jasper's words. "Do I have to though? You can't stop me."

"I will hurt you." Jasper's gaze was heated, his pupils blown wide, and his cheeks dusting red as he was the one to dip his toe across the line of friendship and the start of a relationship.

He wasn't sure who leaned forward first, but their faces were insanely close and both boys felt the breath of the other on their lips. Jasper's eyes charted the look on his best friend's face as equally aroused, and it all went to Jasper's second head. Mikey's eyes dipped down to Jasper's lips and he boldly whispered, "do it," his own lips a breath away, ghosting over Jasper's.
