Chuck doesn't wanna hope. He can't let himself hope.

"Like....as friends?"

[unbreachable]

"Or as a date. If that's not..awkward. If it's awkward pretend I didn't say that."

He's pretty sure Chuck's gay. Or at the very least, swings both ways.

Still, he's putting himself out there and it could earn a dickpunch.

[simplepuzzle]

Well they did just have sex, so that's a pretty good assumption to make.

"I..." It's not that it's awkward, it's. Chuck didn't think he'd get this. "Yeah," he croaks, finally. "Yeah, okay. You wanna?" Really? With Chuck?

[unbreachable]

Sort of sex. Grinding...jacking each other off sex.

But it was good, so.

"Yeah. I wanna. Lets see a movie."

[simplepuzzle]

Yeah, that was sex.

"With me?"

Yes, Chuck, they'd established that. Sort of.

[unbreachable]

Raleigh peers up at him with a grin.

"Yeah. With you."

[simplepuzzle]

"...Why?"

Come on Chuck, quit while you're ahead, you're literally post-coital and wrapped in bed with the guy.

[unbreachable]

"...Because you're cool?"

Why wouldn't he? Chuck is cute, funny when he's not being a jerk, warm and cozy and Raleigh likes hanging around him.

[simplepuzzle]

Chuck turns to curl into Raleigh, hand combing through his hair absently.

"Why now, though?" Is it because Raleigh's drunk?

[unbreachable]

"...Should I schedule a better time?"

Amused, he smiles and pushes his head into Chuck's hand, a happy purr in his chest.

"Why not now?"

[simplepuzzle]

"No, I meant--" Chuck huffs.

"You never looked at me."
And it's getting pretty close to telling Raleigh he had a huge crush on him, but Chuck's tongue is loose from orgasm and rum and he can't tell.

[unbreachable]

"I thought you hated me for a while."

He shrugs.

"If you don't want to, that's fine too." Because Chuck's really questioning him and he's not sure if that's good or bad.

[simplepuzzle]

"I want to," he says quickly because if Raleigh wants to change his mind--

"I never hated you," he mumbles.

[unbreachable]

"Good. Me too." They both want to, that's progress.

"Felt a little like it. Sucked a lot."

[simplepuzzle]

Chuck tries to muffle a yawn against Raleigh's hair.

"Nnh--nah, it was just hard to be around you." Because of his GIANT CRUSH and resulting boner.

[unbreachable]

It's late. They're tipsy and sex stupid. Sleep is probably good.

"Mm...cause you liked me?"

[simplepuzzle]

Yeah but--they're in someone else's house, someone else's bedroom.

Chuck's blushing hard now.
"Uh. Yeah."

[unbreachable]

Eh, The parents are out of town. Raleigh isn't too worried about it.

"Cool."

[simplepuzzle]

"....cool?"

Chuck sort of leans back to look at him muzzily. "Is that all you have to say?"

[unbreachable]

"Mmm..."

He's getting kind of tired and dopey.

"What should I say?"

[simplepuzzle]

"...I dunno." Cos he doesn't it's just that he was expecting something more.

"Did you know?" That's a horrifying thought. Is that why he's being so cool?

[unbreachable]

"I could only guess. I really thought you didn't like me..I couldn't figure out why or what I'd done."

And it has sucked. A lot.

Hurt a lot too.

[simplepuzzle]

"I mean, but you get why I didn't tell you, right?"

Because it was utterly humiliating?

[unbreachable]

"Yeah, yeah I totally get it."

A lot of variables for Chuck. He understands that.

"I'm sleepy.."

[simplepuzzle]

Chuck's quiet for a minute.

"Okay." He's pretty sleepy too, lids heavy and comfortable in Raleigh's hold.
