Jake has never questioned if he was straight, not until today.
Mark says âOh I assumed that you wereâŚâ Jake instead of denying asks âWhat made you think thatâ Mark replies âYou seem pretty nervous talking to me right now and you have been staring at my body the entire time.â Jake pauses, mark says âLook I donât know whatâs going on here butâŚâ Jake replies âI meanâŚâ Mark interrupts âWas I right to assume you like meâ Jake pauses for minutesâŚ. Mark says âLook I donât know whatâs going on in your head but this doesnât have to be public. Jake finally replies and says âI mean I think I like you.â Mark smiling now replies âOk, why do you think that. Jake looks down, mark notices and thinks *Have i seriously not noticed that heâs been hard this entire time* Jake says âI mean Iâve had girlfriends before but no girl has made me this exited. Then suddenly Mark gets closer to Jake, gently resting a hand on his glute
Text in green, bold, and italic are messages
Mark, seeing that Jake seems to enjoy it, he asks âWhatâs did you do to get these glutes so big and softâ Jake replies âI donât really know I guess my genetics are good in that area, maybe too goodâ Mark replies âTheyâre perfect, like you.â
The sun starts to set and Mark asks Jake for his number, and they both go home.
The next day:
Jake wakes up to a text from Mark
Mark: Good morning, wanna hang today?
Jake: Sure, where do you want to go?
Jake gets up and ready for the day, he eats breakfast and doesnât look at his phone for a while. Unfortunately for Jake, it wouldâve been best if he wouldâve looked at his phone, because a message from a group chat spiraled into a long conversation. Jake finally picks up his phone only to see the group chat blowing up.
Samantha: Picture Sent
Weston: That picture of Mark and Jake cannot be real
Samantha: It is, someone sent it to me yesterday they were at the beach, and by the looks of it had a lot of funâŚ
Mark: âŚ
Cody: Jake, have anything youâd like to say?
Cody: Thatâs pretty weird to be doing that in public, and I thought that Jake was straight, didnât he have a girlfriend last year!??
Samantha: Yeah it was Kristy, she was crazy though, no wonder he didnât want to stay with her but this is entirely new.
Mark: Guys it was nothing, accidentally touched him in a really awkward spot. You guys take everything too far.
Samantha: Jake seemed pretty happy for you actually touching his ass.
Mark: He was pretty unbothered by it, I donât know what youâre seeing.
Henry: Oh my gosh, Mark are you serious??? You shouldnât touch people like that.
Samantha: Why do you care so much, Henry?
Henry: Itâs extremely weird to touch a person like that of the same gender when the other person is straight.
Lea: Oh my god, Mark and Jake are dating???
Mark: Weâre not dating, for the last time I accidentally touched him there, no need to take as far as dating.
Henry: Iâve known Jake since middle school, heâd never do anything like that.
Isabell: Whatâs going on?
Samantha: Look at the picture I sent.
Lea: I think theyâre lovers or something, thatâs no accident.
Isabell: No way, thatâs not possible. Jake is the straightest guy I know.
Jake picks up his phone, sees Isabellâs message first and replies.
Jake: Whatâs going on here?
Henry: They think youâre gay and dating Mark, no way thatâs true, right Jake?
Jake: Why would we be dating?
Lea: The picture, he was touching your ass and you seemed pleased by it.
Jake: That never happened.
Mark: Jake, thereâs a picture. Samantha sent it.
Samantha: Finally Jake, what took so long?
Jake: I was getting readyâŚ
Samantha: Ready for what?
Lea: Oh yâall going on a date thatâs why youâre getting ready!!!
Henry: For the last time they arenât datingâŚ
Jake: I was getting ready for the day, why would I be getting ready for a date at this hour?
Samantha: Are you guys really not dating?
Mark: We arenât.
Jake: Iâm not gay.
Henry: I told you guys.
Isabell: Whatever you say, the evidence is there.
The group chat stops, Mark texts Jake.
Mark: Shit how did they find that picture, and why is this happening so fast?
Jake: What are we supposed to do? I bet itâs going all around campus that weâre dating.
Mark: GoshâŚ
Jake: Maybe itâs best we donât talk in classes, maybe itâll die out.
Mark: Hopefully
The day goes on, rumors already spread all around about Mark and Jake.
In one of their classes together they accidentally bumped into each other and people started to whisper. All class they were staring at each other across the room. Not many people noticed that. After their classes were done they went to go get ice cream. They go to a place thatâs not so popular with other students. Mark says âSoâŚâ Jake replies âYeah?â Mark âAre we dating?â Jake âthat depends, do you want us to be dating? Mark replies âWell⌠of course I doâŚâ Jake says âGood, but how do you feel about people knowing?â Mark âItâs too early, theyâd go too crazy with all the rumors going aroundâ They talk, and bond together. They end the day together in bed, sleeping, for a moment they forget the rumors.
