Elliot: so you and Cam huh? don't think i haven't seen you two all cuddly tonight.

Cam had made himself at home in the student lounge with his laptop balanced on his lap and feet propped up on an ottoman while he was nestled in one of the most comfortable chairs. It was easy to lose himself in the coursework when it came to his major because he enjoyed learning more and thoughts of doing well in his chosen field kept him motivated to do well. A notification popped up on his phone that he should take a break to get something to eat. Cam set his laptop down and removed his wallet as he started to walk over to the nearby vending machines.

But as luck would have it, he nearly bumped into someone yet thankfully stopped walking just in time. “I’m sorry,” he apologized with a light chuckle while his brain finally caught up, registered who he nearly ran into. “Tristan, hey,” Cam greeted as his cheeks flushed pink and awkwardness came flooding back as well as reminders that he needed to continue with his soul searching. The late night conversation that had ended with a kiss brought back so many questions related to his sexuality yet it also installed a fair amount of weirdness between the two of them. Weirdness that Cam wasn’t a fan of, that he wanted to remedy seeing as how Tristan was one of his best friends. “How’ve you been?”

“So, the bonfire was fun,” Cam remarked as he settled on Tristan’s bed. And that was the truth, for the most part at least. The jealousy he’d experienced a couple of times throughout the night had taken Cam by surprise. Not only that, but they left him feeling seriously confused and going back to the same sexuality related questions he’d for years. He did the best he could to shake it off though because he just wanted to spend the rest of the night hanging out with Tristan. He had tomorrow and all of the time in the world ahead of him to dwell on all of this. For now, Cam just wanted to keep having fun with one of his best friends.

“I’m thinking movie marathon?” He suggested while he propped his chin on his hand. “Or any kind of marathon really, whatever you’re in the mood for,” he added since this was Tristan’s dorm after all. Plus the specifics of an activity never really mattered to Cam. As long as he was able to spend time with someone or people that he cared about, then he was easily one of the happiest campers known to man.

Honestly, he was excited to have Tristan in his life. Tristan was like one of the first people that knew was actually out and proud about his sexuality at least as a guy. It made things easier on him and Tristan was just so easy to talk to about things. Not that everyone had to be out about their sexuality. He knew it wasn’t easy for everyone. Although he liked both girls and guys he always found himself falling more for guys than he did girls. He started up the television and got Hulu up and running to where they could watch the first episode with Love, Victor. Elliot started gathering up some junk food and stuff for them to snack on while he waited for Tristan to show up.

He could see why this guy seemed to be getting a lot of the male attention around at school. Elliot could admit that Tristan was good looking. “Hey man, what’s up?” Elliot questions. He wanted to start getting to know Tristan more. He seemed to be like a good guy and he could use some more friends.
