I Had To Look Up 'Nocturnal Emissions'
When Anthony woke up, his heart was beating quickly. His mind was filled with images of things he didn't understand. He tried to piece it all together, but couldn't seem to remember much.
Did I get drunk? His face was red with heat, as he had gotten overly warm in his sleep. He had a headache. Moving the sheets off of himself, he found that he had apparently had an... issue at night. A bit of, uh, nocturnal emission, it seemed. His face was now not only red just because of the heat. He went over to his dresser and grabbed a pair of clean boxers, along with some light gray sweatpants and a black tank top. Going back over to his bed, he cringed at the mess on his sheets and pulled the messy ones off, wrapping them up. He walked awkwardly out of his room and up to the bathroom, pushing open the ajar door. He changed out of his boxers into the new pair, along with the other clothing, and balled the sheets and boxers up, before heading out of the bathroom to go to the laundry room. On the way there, he nearly ran into Adam, who had messy hair and a tired face.
"Whatcha doin'?", Adam questioned, rubbing his left eye with a yawn. Anthony's memory decided to trigger at that moment and he ducked his head, looking away.
"J-Just, um... Cleaning up around the place." Adam's eyes brightened at that.
"I can help if you'd like!", he piped up, smiling, but Anthony shook his head no.
"Er, no, its fine. I've got it." Adam gave him an odd look but continued around him, heading for the bathroom. Once Anthony got inside the laundry room, he stuck the balled up mess of dirty cloth and put it inside of the washing machine. He proceeded to shut it, not turning it on as it wasn't full enough yet, and lean on it, shaking his head slowly.
Holy shit, I need to get myself in order... These past two days have been the gayest days of my whole fucking life... Anthony let out a slow breath, a shiver going down his spine. First, he practically made out with Steven, then he had a wet dream about Adam? Something was going on.
Am I sick? Maybe... Maybe I should talk to Minx... Or would that be insensitive-? No, I don't think she'd mind... I should do that. Heading back to his room, he grabbed his phone, silently thanking the world that he hadn't bumped into Adam again on the way back. He pulled up texting, clicking on Minx's contact with a slightly furrowed brow.
You: uh minx
You: we need to talk
You: asap
Anthony looked away, running his free hand through his hair with a long sigh. When his phone vibrated softly in his hand, he looked down.
Minxiepoo: Yah whats up?
You: okay uh this is a weird question (and dont judge me) but how can you tell if youre gay?
Minxiepoo: oh my god anthony
Minxiepoo: Oh uh sorry just
Minxiepoo: You caught me off guard x.x
Anthony stared intensely at his phone, practically holding his breath.
Minxiepoo: Well if you want the serious answer then I guess... If you are attracted to the same gender?
Minxiepoo: It is like all the things with being straight but to the same gender, really.
You: hmm...
Minxiepoo: Why do you ask?
Anthony debated not telling her, but caved in, deciding it couldn't possibly hurt.
You: uh well i kinda k
Anthony deleted the message, frowning.
You: i
He deleted it again, before deciding he has to do it.
You: i kissedsteven
Minxiepoo: Steven as in Ze?
You: uh yeah
Minxiepoo: Were you both alright with it?
You: well we were both drunk...
Minxiepoo: Did you go any further?
You: no! uh, i knew i was drunk so the farthest we went was just cuddling together...
Minxiepoo: Hmm. Well youve been attracted to girls, yes?
You: more than just attracted to them ;)
Minxiepoo: TMI
Minxiepoo: Do you think you like him?
Minxiepoo: I mean uh, Steven?
Anthony thought to himself for a long time, before closing his eyes, typing what he knew, in the back of his mind, was the truth,
You: yes a lot oh my god minx hes so cute help
Minxiepoo: Hehe aww
Minxiepoo: Well I dont think youre gay, at least.
You: well then how do you explain what happened, and my feelings for... him?
Minxiepoo: You very well could just be bi, you know.
Anthony stared at his phone for several seconds, running the thought over in his head.
You: maybe
You: well thanks minx
You: really
Minxiepoo: Im always happy to help!
Minxiepoo: See you at pax?
You: definitely.
Minxiepoo: Well, ttyl!
You: ttyl
Steven's bright green eyes were staring at the ceiling when the guest bedroom door opened. The orbs diverted away, looking towards the source of the noise. They fell on a smiling Adam.
"Good morning, Steven!" Steven sat up, smiling back just as brightly.
"Up already, Adam?"
"You bet your biscuits I'm up!", Adam said, a laugh on his tongue and a sparkle in his eyes. Steven laughed lightly.
"What's got you all excited?" Adam's expression changed slightly, and he sat on the edge of the guest bed, staring deep into Steven's eyes.
"I... can tell you, but you have to swear you won't repeat this. I shouldn't tell you, really, but because you are his closest friend, I trust you." Steven tilted his head, a look of confusion washing over his face.
"What is it?" Adam can't help the grin that appears on his face.
"I just found out that Anthony, Chilled Anthony..."
"Yeah?"
"Is... Super into me! I didn't even know he was gay! I mean, I guess the signs were there all along, but me? And he doesn't even KNOW I know, so I'm kinda nervous... Do you think I should bring it up to him? I guess I just-"
Adam kept going, but Steven wasn't listening. His ears were ringing loudly and he had to use all his effort to keep the smile on his face.
You have no reason to be upset. All he did was kiss you. Nothing else happened, he just kissed you. He's probably kissed Adam befor- Steven's thoughts were interrupted as he noticed Adam staring at him oddly.
"Are... you alright?" Putting on his best, brightest smile, Steven responded.
"Yep! Just happy for you! I hope it all works out!"
