2: Suspicious
Dean can feel his heart practically pumping out of his chest as Alexander gets closer
Alexander Mecca
Katie, you should leave. I’d like to be alone with him
Katie Mecca
But brother, Dean just…
Alexander Mecca
I won’t ask again Katie.
Katie Mecca
(*nods and leaves*) 💭I know how Alex feels about Dean. I’m his little sister after all. Still, I can’t help but worry if I’m actually wrong about this
Alexander is now just inches away from Deans face
Alexander Mecca
Alright, now tell me what you want to say
Dean Archer (MC)
(*blushing very hard, flustered*) Umm…well…I just…you know…
Alexander Mecca
(*grabs Deans chins and lifts it up*) please speak clearly
It takes Dean all the confidence he has to finally confess
Dean Archer (MC)
I…I LIKE YOU (*quickly closes his eyes*)
Alexander Mecca
(*smirking*) Hmm, is that so 😏
Dean opens his eyes just a little to take a peek at Alexander’s expression
Dean Archer (MC)
Umm…so…I’ve said it now. I’ll leave then (💭Ah I just want to disappear again)
Alexander Mecca
(*grabs Deans hand*) Hey, where do you think you’re going?
Dean Archer (MC)
(*looks down*) I…I’m going to class
Alexander Mecca
No. Not until you answer a few of my questions
Dean Archer (MC)
Like…like what?
Alexander Mecca
Since when did you like me?
Dean Archer (MC)
I don’t know.
Alexander Mecca
Have you told anyone else?
Dean Archer (MC)
Just Katie.
Alexander Mecca
Do you want to know how I feel?
Dean Archer (MC)
💭Oh no. This is the part where he calms me a disgusting homo, right? (*Nods head*)
Dean suddenly feels a soft kiss land in his lips. When he opens his eyes, he relieves that it came from Alexander
Dean Archer (MC)
(*shocked*)
Alexander Mecca
What’s that look on your face? Isn’t this what people who like each other do?
Dean Archer (MC)
Wait…you like me too?
Alexander Mecca
(*smiles*) I wouldn’t be kissing you otherwise silly
Dean Archer (MC)
Do…do you really mean it?
Alexander Mecca
(*kisses Dean again*) do you believe me now?
Dean Archer (MC)
Ha, I can’t believe this. You have no idea how happy this makes me feel
Alexander Mecca
I’m just glad we feel the same way
Dean Archer (MC)
So what do we do now? Do we start dating?
Alexander Mecca
Of course, but you must not tell anyone
Dean Archer (MC)
Huh? Why not?
Alexander Mecca
People will hate us because of our se.xuality. No one can know, otherwise our life will become he||
Dean Archer (MC)
(*nods head*) okay, that makes sense actually
Alexander Mecca
(*smiles at Dean again*) Good, now let’s go to class now before anyone gets suspicious
Dean Archer (MC)
(*nods head*) Okay, let’s go
~In the future, Dean always wondered if Alexander was being genuine in this moment. It’s hard to tell when the lies started and ended~
-The same day, during lunch-
Dean and Alexander sit beside one another as Neil and Jacob sit across from them
Neil
What did you get on the test guys
Alexander Mecca
I did pretty well actually
Dean Archer (MC)
Yeah, me too
Jacob
Well of course you guys got similar scores
Neil
Yeah, you’re always studying together
Jacob
Neil and I will start to feel left out if you guys keep doing that
Dean Archer (MC)
(*nervous*) Ah sorry guys. I didn’t know you felt that way
Alexander Mecca
Yeah, we can all do things together more often
Neil
Hmm, well all right then. I just want us all to have a good time since this is our last year in high school
Jacob
Exactly, I wouldn’t want anything to mess it up
Alexander Mecca
Like what?
Neil
Well one of us getting into a relationship, for example, would totally throw off the balance
Dean Archer (MC)
Umm…do you mean with each other?
Jacob
Eww, what the fu.ck. Why would you even think that?
Neil
Yeah, I definitely meant with a girl
Alexander Mecca
(*looks at Dean with a worried expression*)
Dean Archer (MC)
(*trying to laugh it off*) Oh I see, I was just confused for a moment. That makes more sense
Jacob
Hmm, well while we are on the topic, I heard that someone in another class came out as gay
Alexander Mecca
Hmm, well whatever
Neil
What do you mean whatever? That’s totally sick! I wouldn’t be surprised if he started to get bullied
Jacob
Well that’s none of our business, but I’m sure people from his friend group will treat him differently
Alexander Mecca
(*trying to fit in with the conversation*) Right, that’s how it usually goes
Dean starts to feel uncomfortable with his “friends” making homophobic comments and remarks
Dean Archer (MC)
Umm, I have to go to the bathroom real quick (*gets up and leaves*)
Neil
Gesh, what’s with him lately?
Alexander Mecca
Who, Dean?
Neil
Yeah, he’s been acting a bit weird around us
Jacob
I’ve noticed that too! He also started to tense up when I mentioned the gay kid from the other class
Neil
Hey…do you think maybe…
Alexander Mecca
No. There’s no way
Jacob
What? How do you even know what I was going to say?
Alexander Mecca
You were just going to start claiming that Dean could be gay, but that’s not true
Neil
Why are you being so defensive about this?
Alexander Mecca
I’m not. I just don’t want rumors to start
Jacob
Well I guess you have a point. Still…i can’t help but notice how extra friendly he is towards you
Alexander realizes that defending Dean would only make himself look suspicious too
Alexander Mecca
I don’t know what you’re talking about. We should probably head back to class though
Neil
Aren’t you going to wait for Dean?
Alexander Mecca
(💭I want to, but I can’t make it seem suspicious) Nah, he can walk on his own. Let’s just go
