~*POV Jaime*~

The rest of dinner was perfect. The food was good and Vic's company was even better. I just love being with him, and I felt like it was less awkward now since our feelings about each other are out in the open. I don't know exactly what we are now... Relationship? Flirtationship? Friends with benefits? I doubted the last one, but this boy is full of surprises, so I can't be sure...

Right now we're driving back to the apartment, we'd been gone for awhile now... Oh well, I'm sure Mike and Tony are fine by themselves. The conversation in the car was light and flirtatious, just how I liked it. We fell into a comfortable silence after I calmed down from Vic's latest joke...

"Jaime," he said, breaking said silence, "I'm really glad I did this, tonight was really fun."

"It was," I said, smiling at him, "I can't believe our feelings for each other are mutual..."

"I know," he said, laughing slightly, "Never in my wildest dreams would this be happening. I never thought that you'd go for guys."

I shrugged, "Well, thinking about it now, I've always found both genders attractive... But I always called myself straight because I'd never found a guy I actually liked... Until now that is." I found myself blushing again as I said the last part.

Vic smiled and said, "Well, it's an honor to be your first then..."

We sat in silence again for a few more minutes before Vic said, "Jaime... What are we?"

"I don't know," I said, "We know that we have mutual feelings for each other... And I don't know about you, but that kiss felt special to me..."

He nodded, "It was special Hime-Time, it was."

I took in a deep breath and with an insane amount of courage asked, "Does this mean we are together?" I tried to not sound too hopeful, in case he doesn't want this.

"I could," he said slowly, "If you want it too. Because, I know I do, but... I guess what I'm saying is, I'd love to be your boyfriend Jaime, if you'd let me be."

I felt my face turn bright red and my heart beat faster. I opened my mouth to respond, but I couldn't form the words I needed, so I just nodded. He smiled and took one of his hands of the steering wheel and took mine. We sat like that for the rest of the drive. My boyfriend and I.

When we walked in the apartment, all of the lights were off and the tv was playing some movie that I didn't recognize. I saw someone's head tipped back on the couch, like they were asleep. I laughed to myself, it's not THAT late. Vic walked up to the tv to turn it, but instead he just stood in front of the couch and shook his head with a sly grin on his face.

I walked over to see what he was looking at. I felt my jaw drop slightly at the sight, it was Mike asleep with his head on the back of the couch. Resting on Mike's stomach was Tony's head, he was also asleep. Mikes arms were draped around Tony's chest clutching him tightly and Tony's hands were rested on top of Mike's wrists. I'm not going to lie, they looked really cute like this... I wonder how they got into this position though.

I looked at Vic, who was laughing quietly, "I told him this would happen... But he didn't believe me..."

I raised my eyebrow at him and mouthed, "What happened?" Not wanting to wake them up.

His eyes grew large and he grabbed my hand, pulling me into the kitchen so we could talk without waking them.

"I thought Tony would've told you," he said quietly, "Or I would've earlier... Even though it's not really my story to tell..."

"Vic," I said, even more confused, "What's going on?"

"Well," he started, "When I was a senior and Mike and Tony were juniors Tony came to our school with his cousin Austin." So, they knew each other in high school? What does that have to do with what's happening now?

"And to make a long story short," he said, hesitantly, "The boy from Tony's story of high school heartbreak and illness... Is Mike..."

I felt myself fall into the chair that I was standing in front of. Damn, it really is a small world... I tried to wrap my head around the idea. It was Mike that caused Tony so much pain, Tony cut because of Mike. Mike hurt him, and their he was cuddling up to Mike like everything was ok. I felt myself get angry.

"Then it was Mike that started Tony's little addiction," I said, venom dripping from my words, "It's all his fault that Tony was in pain."

Vic nodded, "Trust me Jaime, he knows. He hasn't slept at all since that day in the hospital. He's been trying so hard to compensate for all the pain he brought Tony by being his best friend now. He feels horrible."

"Well he should," I snapped, "You weren't there in the hotel room. I was scared Vic, I was really scared. I thought I was going to lose him, and for a while I thought it was a suicide attempt. He was so low Vic..."

Vic moved over to me and wrapped his arms around my torso, "I know Jaime. I know what pain looks like on another. You're forgetting the part of the story where Mike has anorexia and schizophrenia. I've seen some scary things, I've almost lost him so many times. I witnessed him almost commit suicide, I witnessed Tony stop him while I stood there and did nothing."

I didn't say anything, Vic was right, I did forget that part. I can't be mad at Mike, as much as I want to be, all I can picture is a scared little boy... I hugged Vic back and rested my head on his shoulder.

"Jaime I think it's time for bed," he said, leading me into my room. He tucked me into bed before walking out and turning the light off. I rolled over and quickly fell into a dreamless sleep.
