Chapter 7 (Taj)
I felt a nice warmth around me and it felt nice and comfortable. I opened my eyes and looked to see that Yukine and I had slept in his bed and we were both cuddling each other! I was so shocked that I fell out of bed. THUD!
“Ow, fuck!”
“Oh my god are you ok?!”
I looked up and saw that Yukine was half asleep but was looking down at me with a worried look. I guess the thud must’ve woken him up.
“Yeah I’m fine, just wondering what I did last night”
“Oh that, yeah you kinda collapsed on me,”
“Oh my god I’m so sorry! I’m usually not in control of my body properly when I’m tired,”
“It’s fine I don’t mind!” He looked at me with a smile. It was cool he didn’t react badly to what I did, but I felt so bad because I collapsed on top of him. I sat up and rubbed my head. Here I’ll get an ice pack. He got out of bed and pulled out the mini fridge from underneath his bed and got a small ice pack out. He crawled over to me and placed it on the place that hurt. I never realised it but the guy was ripped as fuck! How come I only just noticed how hot he was?! I started to have a massive gay panic attack inside my head. My face was probably really red. Curse my white skin!
“Are you blushing!” He started laughing.
“Oh shut up I can’t help my gay ass if there’s a hot guy infront of me-”
I then shut my mouth and realised what I had just said. I literally just blurted out that I was gay to my roommate that was probably straight as hell! I started to panic and looked at him scared about what he was gonna say we sat in silence for a few seconds but then he opened his mouth. Oh my god he was probably gonna say how disgusting I am!
“Oh my god what a relief!”
“What!” I looked at him in absolute shock.
“What do you mean aren’t you straight?! Don’t you think I’m disgusting or something?!”
“What of course not! I’m gay!”
“Well I’m pan!”
We just sat there in silence and then bursted into laughter.
“Oh my fucking god and here I though you were some homophobic piece of shit!”
“Same here!”
We were just laughing on the floor because of how stupid we thought we were. We were basically dying on the ground. It was to the point I started crying because of how hard I was laughing.
“Oh my god are you crying!”
We both started laughing even more. This went on for about a few minutes until we finally calmed down.
“Jeez now I feel stupid! It was kinda obvious now that I think about it!” Yukine said after we finally calmed down.
“Oh really now?” I said sarcastically.
“What about you though you looked straight as fuck dude!”
“I know right!” We both started laughing again.
While we were laughing someone started to knock on our door loudly.
“Yo Yukine! Open up we are gonna play some Black Ops in your room remember!”
“Oh my god I forgot my friends were gonna come over today!”
“I’m gonna go in the bathroom to get changed out of my pjs”
“Ok,”
I grabbed my casual clothes that were hanging on the side of my bed and went inside the bathroom. I could hear Yukine and his friends talking with each other. I then realised that I had my makeup off the whole time and he’s now seen my actual face, how embarrassing! I quickly did a casual makeup look and walked out of the bathroom.
When I walked outside I saw two guys that were helping Yukine set up his PS4. One of the guys was really tall and quite muscular. He looked about 5, 9, the same height as me, had blonde hair and green eyes, his skin tone was also a light brown and his jawline was sharp. The other guy was kinda short. He was quite skinny but really fit and his hair was dark purple. His eyes were also brown but it almost seemed like they were black because of how dark they were. Both of their clothes had the same style and were pretty similar to Yukine’s style, were they a part of the swim team as well?
“Are you guys from the swim team?”
“Oh sorry didn’t notice you were there!”
“Oh uh guys meet my roommate Taj, Taj these are my friends! The tall one is Henry Jones captain of the swim team and the other is Jackson Roberts he’s also a part of the swim team!”
“Nice to finally meet Yukine’s friends!” I said because I realised I had never met his friends.
“Nice to finally meet the mysterious roommate!” Henry said. I gave him a confused look.
“Yukine talks about you a lot, believe it or not but never let us meet you!” Jackson explained
“Yukine how could you not let me meet your friends!”
“Sorry it’s just their kinda embarrassing,”
“I let you meet my friends and all they talk about is how the world’s gonna end! How could you!” I said dramatically and hugged him.
We all started to burst into laughter.
“Well it’s nice to know he has a sense of humour!” Jackson said.
“Of course!”
“Anyways I’ve gotta also meet up with some friends to see you guys!”
“See ya Taj!”
I walked up the stairs over to Jason’s room, a.k.a my old room, to meet up with him, Laurie and Harry. I then knocked on the door and it opened. I walked into the room to see Jason sitting on his bed and Laurie and Harry sitting on Harry’s bed, Harry and Laurie looked sort of nervous, I sat down next to Jason.
“So now that everyone is here…” Laurie said, looking really nervous.
“We want to tell you guys something!” Harry said, grabbing his arm.
“We are ummm sort of…”
“Well come on Lawrence spit it out would you!” Jason said teasing him.
“We’re dating!” Lawrence blurted out.
It was silent for a few seconds.
“Hah, gay!” I said as a joke and then Laurie started to blush.
“About time you guys! Know who asked who and when?”
Harry started to burst out laughing and Laurie looked so embarrassed.
“Well uhmm Harry asked me…”
“Yeah it was around two days ago when we went into the city!”
“Wait hold on! Does he know?!” Jason said with a worried tone. It seemed that he just realised something.
“Yeah! He told me right before he asked me out, I couldn’t believe he thought I wasn't gonna accept him!”
“Wait, what are you guys talking about?” I asked because it seemed like I was the only one that didn’t know.
Harry stood up and had this nervous look on his face and looked at me.“Oh well uhmm, you see Taj I’m…I’m trans,”
I was very surprised but at the same time it explained why he felt uncomfortable telling us why he moved in with Jason and why he never told us where he transferred from. I got up and walked over to him and then wrapped my arms around him.
“Well thanks for telling me!” I said knowing how difficult it must have been telling me.
He wrapped his arms around me.
“Thank you, for accepting me,”
Lawrence and Jason walked over and we all had a group hug. I was so grateful that Harry told me that he was trans. I know how hard it is to come out to people but to have to come out more then once on two very sensitive topics to other people must be scary especially when people are only starting to realise transgender.
For about an hour the guys and I hung out and we just talked about some random stuff. It was getting to the time for lunch and the guys wanted to go into town for a while. I didn’t really feel like going into town because I had just gone yesterday so I declined and decided to just steal some ramen out of Yukine’s stash. He doesn’t really mind me stealing stuff out of his food stash as long as I don’t over do it or take any of his chocolate.
I walked down the stairs to head back down to the room I got my keys out of my pocket as I reached the door. All of a sudden I heard a big crash coming from the inside of the dorm. I shoved my keys into the door and slammed open the door. I saw Henry and Jackson sitting in front of the TV on Yukine’s bed and Yukine on the ground surrounded by my text books that were supposed to be on my desk. The books surrounded him and they all looked up at me when they realised I entered the room.
“What the fuck did you guys do?!”
They all bursted into laughter right after I said that and after a few seconds I also bursted into laughter.
“What happened?”
“We were playing some COD and then when Yukine died, for probably the 10th time in a row, he stood up and raged and then fell backwards crashing into your desk and then now we’re here!”
“Sorry?”
I bursted into laughter when I looked over at Yukine who was just sitting on the floor surrounded by books realising he feel because he raged at a stupid game.
“Wow! You know you’re an idiot sometimes!” I closed the door and walked over to his bed to get an ice pack out of the mini fridge.
“Well I know I’m stupid but you don’t have to be that harsh!”
“Ok, now did you hit your head?”
“Yeah, sort of,”
I placed the ice pack on top of his head and realised we were in the exact situation this morning before I left.
“Well now we’re even I guess!”
“Yep!”
“So Jackson tells me more about why Yukine kept dying!”
“Gladly!”
“Oh come on guys! You can’t hold this against me forever!”
“Yes but we’re all gonna tease you about it until at least the end of term!”
Jackson and Henry told me all about the stupid shit that happened after I left. It was so funny teasing Yukine about it. The guys were all pretty fun and it was nice knowing more about them.
