only one shot ✝

alex: i understand man. don't worry about it. hope everything's alright tho

alex: he cares about you rhys

alex: not that i want to get involved or anything so i'll shut my mouth about it but yeah

alex: you're welcome. i'm alright i guess, thanks for asking. yeah no he didn't take it well at all haha

rhys: i'm 10 days sober isn't that impressive :P

rhys: too much sometimes

rhys: well thanks anyway for that too

Zaki: :) I want to carry on making you happy. But there are just some things I'm not ready to do right now. I wish I was. Honestly, I wish I didn't care so much, I wish I wasn't so worried. But I am. There aren't a lot of options for me if my family disowns me, there aren't a lot of places I can go and I'm fairly certain my father will freeze my trust fund too. It's not as easy as you think it is, Rhys. So please, I just need to you to understand or be patient or something. I know that's asking for a lot but... please.

Zaki: Are you going to be more specific?

Rhys: okay. okay, i'm sorry, i just...i don't know. i just wish people could see how i feel about you i guess.

Rhys: why? do you want me to? ;)

Zaki: No, of course not... I don't expect you to stick around forever if that's the case. It's not fair on you, you deserve to be happy

Zaki: I just don't want to talk about it

Zaki: What kind of things do you think about?

Rhys: but don't you get it? you make me happy

Rhys: fine

Zaki: Rhys you knew this was how things are going to be when we started dating, you knew our relationship wouldn't be one we could flaunt about in public.

Zaki: Can we just drop this please? I'm sorry if I upset you by making you delete that picture but it made me uncomfortable.

Zaki: Wait, you think about our future?

Rhys: but is it going to be like that forever?

Rhys: why can't we just talk about it?

Zaki: It's easy for you to say! You don't know what will happen to me if I ever came out. I've only just learned to accept myself. Do you honestly think everyone else will accept me? My family? Some of my friends? My choice is choosing between having a roof over my head with a family that loves me and being "the real me" I will choose that former, always. It's not about you, okay?

Zaki: I assumed you understood, but I guess not

Rhys: wait so you'd take a roof over us?

Rhys: let me ask you something

Zaki: That's not fair, Rhys. You know I can't do anything about our situation

Zaki: Besides, it doesn't matter as long as we know it's real, right?

Rhys: yes you can! you have a CHOICE, zaki! you always have a choice!

Rhys: i don't get it

Rhys: why don't you want people to know the real you?

Zaki: Faris has threatened to tell him!

Zaki: I have no problem with you expressing it, in fact I encourage it. It's when it could potentially get me in a lot of trouble that it becomes a problem. There's nothing wrong with you expressing it off of social media and when it's just the two of us.

Rhys: faris has a stick up his ass just ignore him

Rhys: that's not the point

Zaki: It's more than a big deal and because of you, my father is going to kill me

Zaki: and 'sexy as hell', really Rhys? Thanks a whole lot!

Rhys: it's not like he's going to find out

Zaki: Thank you.

Zaki: Why the heck would you even do that Rhys?

Rhys: i didn't think it was a big deal

Zaki: Maybe in your eyes, but not in the eyes of my father and certainly not in the eyes of Allah!

Zaki: Delete it! Please Rhys...

Onyx: i literally just said that i'm the savior so as long as you stick with me everything will by peachy i'm sure, don't quote me on that though

Rhys: i'm a bad listener

Rhys: you're not making me feel better

Zaki: You know it's me, I know it's me, Faris knows it's me, I'm sure other people can hazard a guess that it's me.

Zaki: Delete the picture then I will calm down!

Rhys: but it's just a tattoo, there's nothing wrong with a tattoo

Zaki: You also promised you wouldn't tell anyone about the tattoo! Now everyone knows and before long Gossip Girl is going to post about it!

Zaki: Faris knows it's me! What's stopping him from telling my father?!

Zaki: Rhys, now is not the time and quite frankly I don't care! Delete that picture!

Rhys: oh c'mon nobody knows it's you! you're freaking out over nothing

Rhys: faris just thinks it's you, calm down

Zaki: Serious question right now: are you drunk or high? Not that you should be either of those things since you're supposed to be sober. However, there must be some plausible explanation as to why you would upload that picture on instagram.

Rhys: no and no, i made a promise that night we had dinner remember?

Rhys: what? nobody knows it's you

↳ INSTAGRAM: @rhyspieces: uploaded a new photo

sexy as hell.
