“Do I look good?” Jeremy asked Jake, who looked up from his phone.

“Hot damn, I wish it was me and you Jer,” He said, getting up from his seat and strolling over to Jeremy. “I do have one question though,” He started, coming close to Jeremy so that Jeremy had to look up to look at his face. “Did you get this nervous going out with me?” He questioned, glancing down at Jeremy’s lips, which the shorter one was bitting.

“He did,” Michael called from where he was lying in the corner, “Every time,” he added.

“Guys, stop teasing me. This is my first time going out alone with Rich, what if he doesn’t like me?” Jeremy whined, but his voice turned quiet with anxiety as he continued with what he was saying.

“Hey,” Michael said softly standing up and coming over to Jeremy and Jake, the latter having wrapped his arms around Jeremy in comfort. “The two of us were pinning after both of you for god knows how long, both of you. Jake and Jeremy, the two hottest, sweetest, and all around best guys in the school. Excluding Rich and I of course,” Michael said, his face forming a smirk in the end.

“In your dreams Mell,” Jake shot back, making Jeremy giggle. “But seriously dude, he loves you. We all do. And we all hang out together all the time, and it’s going to be just like that since he loves you then and he loves you now, okay?” Jake said, giving Jeremy a small kiss on his forehead. Just then, the doorbell rung, making Jake full back.

“Now, go get him. And come back just as hot as you always do, I want to see you all dressed up too,” Jake teased. Jeremy gave the both of the one last kiss each and a quiet “Thank you,” before running down the stair. He almost tripped a few times but will never admit to it. He pulled open the door to see Rich a bit more put together than usual.

“Fuck,” Rich mumbled softly, looking Jeremy up and down.

“H-hey,” Jeremy mumbled, feeling heat run to his cheeks as he stood under Rich’s gaze. Rich stepped forward slightly, kissing Jeremy on the cheek.

“Hey to you too beautiful,” He said with a smile, his face rosy as well.

“I- um- got to get -um -shoes,” Jeremy blabbered, turning around quickly to grab them. He sat down the up them on, not looking up to see Rich and his heartbeat was racing. Once he finished, he looked up to see Rich with his hand stretched out to help Jeremy up. Jeremy took it with a smile, standing up to stand above Rich.

“I now know how Jake feels,” He said with a smile.

“Not even two minutes in and already insulting my height? I hurt,” Rich joked.

“Oh, sorry,” Jeremy responded, looking down. ‘You fucked up.’ His brain said. 'He hates you now doesn’t he,’ 'Of course you’d fuck it up, you’re pathetic,’

“Jeremy?” Rich asked again, and Jeremy looked up with sad eyes. “Hey, what’s wrong?” He asked, sitting down and pulling Jeremy with him so he could hold him better.

“I’m sorry,” He whispered out as his voice broke. He closed his eyes, listening to the voice.

“There’s nothing to be sorry for Jeremy, why do you think that?” Rich asked. Jeremy pointed to his head, and immediately Rich understood. Of course he would, he was the only one at the school who would, who went through the same with and had gotten the Squip so strong.

“Hey, I have some Red in my car. And if you want we can just stay here and not go out, I’m totally okay with it I know how it ge-” Rich was cut off by Jeremy.

“No, I don’t want it controlling my life, Rich. I want to go out with you, I really, really, really really like you. Like, so much,” Jeremy ranted on, making Rich giggle.

“Okay okay, I get it. Same to you, love. Now how about we get the dew and get out of this place. Let’s go see the world!” He joked, standing up with Jeremy who smiled at him.

It was silent as the two of them walked out to the car. Rich opened the door for Jeremy, reaching in first to grab him the Mountain Dew Red. He then closed the door and ran to the other side. Jeremy took a few sips of the Red before putting the bottle down. As Rich turned the ignition, he leaned over and kissed him.
