Remus Finds Out
Remus was the first of the team to find out. It was an accident honestly. They should’ve been more careful, but Jackson thought everyone else had left after the game.
So when they got to the parking garage, he pushed Zhenya against the car and pressed a deep kiss to his lips.
Their bodies were pressed together, Zhenya’s warm hands wrapping around his waist as he leaned into the kiss, “You play so good. Look so good.” He murmured, resting his forehead against Jackson’s.
Nado was about to reply, a gentle smile spread on his face when a soft gasp came from the other side of the car.
They were apart in seconds, eyes wide as they saw Remus standing there, his bag on his hip, “I-I’m sorry. I didn’t know anyone else was still here.” He murmured, eyes flickering between the two of them.
“Loops, I-I..” Jackson started, but honestly he wasn’t sure how to finish the sentence. What was he going to say? ‘It wasn’t what it looked like. He had something on his lips and I was getting it off with my lips.’ No, it was exactly what it looked like.
Remus shook his head, eyes going a bit soft as Zhenya’s hand reached out carefully intertwining with Nado’s, “It’s alright, I won’t tell anyone, you guys know that.” He murmured, walking over to them.
And they did know that. After all, it had happened to Remus, he knew how it was, how it felt. He would never force someone else through that.
“We tell team. Soon. Just… not yet.” Zhenya said quietly, squeezing Jackson’s hand. He still looked as though he was in shock. Eyes wide as he gripped onto Zhenya’s hand. They’d been so careful for so long, and just like that. Caught. Out.
Nodding, Remus’s eyes flickered between them as he rested his hand on Zhenya’s shoulder, “If you guys need anything, even just someone to talk to, call me. Anytime. Have a good night.” He murmured before heading off to his car in the corner. They hadn’t even seen it.
Jackson let out a shaky breath as Zhenya pulled him to his chest, rubbing a large hand up and down his back, “Nado, it’s okay. Remus not tell. We’re okay.” He whispered.
Fingers gripped tightly at the taller boy’s shirt as Nado hid his face, “I-It’s that easy. It could happen so quickly and everyone would know.”
Zhenya let out a soft sigh, “I’m think we should tell team. Need to know.” He said quietly, pressing a kiss to the top of Nado’s head.
“Y-Yeah. We should. Soon.” Nado whispered as he closed his eyes, resting his head against Zhenya’s chest as he listened to his heartbeat.
They had told Jackson’s parents already during a facetime, but were waiting to tell Zhenya’s. He wanted to go to Russia, do it in person. The team though. They had gone back and forth with it for a while. But maybe this was the push they needed.
They’d tell the team. Their chosen family.
Soon.
