Chapter Text
“Bryce. I’m not gay. Not for you, at least.”
Liam sat next to Bryce, giving him sorry eyes. Bryce looks past him, not wanting to make eye contact now that he’d just ruined everything.
“Look, it’s not that I… don’t like you. It’s just that…” Liam’s voice trails off, finding itself after Bryce finally looks him in the eyes “After everything that happened, I feel like we’d get too stuck in the past. What happened with us- all of us- its not something that we can just forget. Especially if…” Liam doesn’t say anything more. He doesn’t have to. Bryce knows what he means. He nods, a small nod to let Liam know he understands. They both sit there awkwardly. What an idiot Bryce was. Of course Liam felt that way. He would, too.
He would… if it was someone else.
But Liam was different. Liam cares. Not just about everyone else. No, Liam cared about him. Despite everything, Liam cared about him.
Or so he thought.
Now he wasn’t sure. It’s not that he wasn’t sure whether or not Liam cared, it was just… he didn’t know how he cared. God, this was all so stupid to begin with. Bryce begins to stand up, but stops. Where was he going to go, anyways? It was his apartment. He can’t just leave, right? No, of course he couldn’t.
“You’re an idiot, Bryce.” He thinks to himself as he loosens back into his space on the bed “ Such an idiot.”
