Neil pov
"Can we keep this on the down low for now?" Max asked me, we were still holding hands.
"Why?" I questioned him.
"No reason." He looked down. "I just don't want the world to know about us so quickly."
Can't even look me in the eyes. I don't think that's the only reason why he wants to keep this on the dL(down low) but I decided to not push further.
"Yeah, okay. We'll wait to tell everyone."
"Who says we have to tell them? They'll figure it out eventually."
I mean, he's right. I just want to show affection no matter where we are. Max looked back at me. Squeezing my hand. "Don't get the wrong idea, okay?" he told me. I just nodded, not knowing what he was talking about. Max let go of my hand and began to stand up.
"Let's go. Nikki's probably wondering where we are." Max commanded, but I didn't want to go. I knew I couldn't do anything outside of this room. He wanted no know that's he's my boyfriend. I love saying that. Boyfriend! But then I realized Max was walking to the door. I quickly jogged over to him then grabbed him arm. He turned around quickly, Max looked puzzled as to why u stopped him. I didn't say anything and just lead him back to the bed. Placing my hands on his shoulders, pushing him back down on the bed. "Wha.." he began to say but I started to explain. "I want to...you know...cuddle."
Max smirked, letting out a small chuckle. "Cuddle? Neil we're at someone's house. Later."
"Later?" I whined. "Aw, Cmon Max. I know you want to."
Max thought for a moment. "Okay, fine. You impatient nerd. You only have a couple of minutes then back downstairs."
I squealed of happiness. I laid down on the bed. Max slowly lowered himself next to me. His face turned red. Aww.. I wrapped my arms around him, and he wrapped his arms around my shoulders. We sat there more a few moments until I heard a creek from the door. Oh shoot it was opening! Max noticed too. He tried to push me away but he ended up pushing me off the bed. While I was falling I grabbed onto Max to try to stay on the bed so he just fell on top of me. This is even worse than being caught cuddling! Ered walked into the room and stared at us. Nikki came up besides her.
"Oh-.." Ered muttered.
"ITS NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!" Max y e l l e d. He quickly rolled off of me. I felt like I was glued to the ground. Sweat formed on my forehead. "Right Neil?" Max asked something. Then I remembered he said he just had fallen on me in an awkward position. Right Neil? "Y-Ye..." I couldn't get out a full sentence. Nikki and Ered just looked very concerned.
"Look, we can just go if y'all were busy.." Ered requested. She also took a few steps back. Nikki nodded in agreement.
"We weren't busy at all!" Max kept yelling. I finally got away from the ground, and made my way over to Max. I then placed my hand on Max's shoulder. Trying to get him to calm down. I could hear him taking a couple of deep breaths.
"Just an accident." He finally said calmly. Which. Was true. We didn't get like that on purpose so there's nothing to really lie about. Nikki giggled. "Yeah accident. Wonder why you two came up here in private. ALONE." Nikki smirked.
"And I wonder why you two came up here in private ALONE." I argued back.
"Chill, I only have to get some paper." Ered informed me. She walked over to her small wooden table in her room. She took off a large stack of a paper and some pens.
"We're doing arts and craft. Just like camp! Dolf's idea." Nikki explained.
"Anyways I don't know what the heck you two are doing but If you want to draw we're all open and okay for that." Ered winked, walking out of the room after.
Nikki danced around in a circle. Stopping a little after she shook her head and tried to stay in place.
"What are you so worked up about?" Max asked the same question I had.
"Something is going on between you two and I know it!" Nikki grinned.
"No." Max responded quickly.
Nikki looked suspicious of us. I took a step away from Max, letting my hand get off his shoulder.
"Nikki, we would tell you if something was going on between us. You're the main one who wants to see this ship sail anyways." Max rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, yeah.True, true. But why were you two on the bed together. You said you fell?" Nikki questioned.
Max stood there for a moment thinking, then I said, "we did that last night, didn't we? It's no different this time. Just hanging out upstairs away from judgmental people."
Max turned around, looking at me. He then shrugged at my exceptional answer.
Nikki sucked her teeth. "But that hug..?"
"A friendly one." Max told her.
"Whatever." Nikki finally stopped interrogating us and left the room.
When I put my focus back on Max he was glaring at me.
"What did I do?" I asked.
"I told you that cuddling was a bad idea!" Max argued.
"But you agreed to it."
Max paused for a second. "Well...you were convincing."
"Why are you so worked up anyways?" I nudged his shoulder. "Are you embarrassed by us or something?"
"We've been dating for what? 10 minutes? Slow your roll. Also I'm not embarrassed by you. I promise." Max I explained to me. I guess it's WAY to soon for this stuff.
"Let's go downstairs." Max walked out before I could respond. Honestly, too many embarrassing stuff happened this sleepover. All my embarrassing actions have revealed to everyone that I'm pretty much gay. I like Max. Oh no Max and I aren't friends. Oh wait they're friends again and they're hugging and from what Ered and Nikki saw, they're trying to do some questionable things.
Max popped back into the room. "You coming or not?"
"Yeah." I walked out the room with him.
Downstairs had papers all over place. There were uncapped and capped markers on the ground, along with pencils, pens, crayons, paint brushes.
"Now everyone copy me." Dolf painted a sunset on his Canvas that I assume he brought for no reason. It was blended with oranges and pinks and yellows. It looked nice. Dolf's art came a long long way. "What is this, art class?" Someone asked.
"No...well, yes. Kinda." Dolf chuckled nervously.
"FINGER PAINT." Screamed Nikki.
"We don't have paint. Only Dolf does." Ered reminded her.
"Oh. MARKER PAINT."
Ered sighed, clearly giving up.
Max looked at me and whispered. "Yeah maybe this wasn't the best Id-"
Nerris popped out of no where. "You guys okay?" She asked us. She had a piece of paper that had been drawn on with colored pencils.
"We're good." Max nodded and smiled at me.
"Oh you're more than good." Nerris chuckled. A grin spread across her face. "Finally, all that talk about you will pay off." Nerris explained. I gave her a puzzled look. Max seemed to feel the same way.
"Well, Nikki used to hang out with me and Space kid, right? Harrison slipped in because he starting dating me." She began to explain before Max interrupted. "Yeah, dating for like the 5th time again." Nerris shot
Him a glare but still continued to explain. "She couldn't really keep a secret. Nikki told us about your little crush on Max here. We would purposely plan activities just for her to leave you two alone. Obviously that had it's pro's and con's." That makes sense. More and more Nikki would just vanish. Then boom! Me and Max are alone. I'm not sure if that damaged our relationship our help build it? Honestly it was getting way to awkward for me and my feelings grew stronger.
I guess it didn't matter what Nikki told them. They kept it so on the low I didn't even know that they knew about it.
"Is that all you wanna know? I could add this to my outfit!" She raised the piece of paper full of stars. Nerris was a cosplayer now and she's very passionate about it. Sometimes she'd work with Dolf to plan out her outfit. They're such a great team if you think about it.
Max Pov
I lowered my head. All this time I've been a little game for Nikki and to win you had to get me to find interest in Neil. Well. Jokes on her. It worked. I don't know when she's going to know that though.
"How could you not know, Max? Panic boy over her is not that good at hiding his feelings." Nerris questioned me. She was right. I guess I failed to realize Neil's sweaty palms and forehead, or the looks he gave me. I blinked hard. Maybe I did notice it, I just decided to not connect it to why he was doing that for.the obvious answer I mean, he loves me. Honestly, I don't care anymore. He likes me I like him. Boom. Who cares about the past. But of course they wouldn't know that "I don't know. I'm stupid. Yay."
