Vanoss

I stepped out of the taxi, grabbing my wallet on the way. I looked at Clay, waiting for my bill. He shook his head and gave me a slip of people. On the slip it said "$10 and a signature". I shake my head at the driver. "Clay, that drive is worth more than ten dollars and a signature." 

"Evan, just-"

"Fine." I sighed and signed the paper, and put $20 in instead of $10. 

 I grabbed my bags and waved off the driver. I turned around and stared at the regular sized house, two storied, and surrounded by other houses. This was it. I was finally going to meet Delirious face to face, or mask. 

I rolled my suitcase up the little side walk and walked up the dark colored porch. As I went to knock I noticed a dog in the window. I turned my head to the side, waiting for it to bark. Nothing. I shrugged and knocked. I heard footsteps, and then the door slightly swung open. 

I was greeted by Luke, or as everyone knows, the one and only CaRtoOnZ. "Hey man!" I greeted and bro hugged him. He laughed and looked at me, "So you here for Mr. H2O?"

"Yeah, I'm here to take care of him, sorta. Well, I don't know-" I quickly ended my babbling. Luke laughed and opened the door the whole way. "Well come in, getcha self settled in." I nodded a thank you and stepped the whole way into the house, getting a really warm feeling. I looked around what seemed to be the living room, waiting for Delirious. 

Luke had walked into another room as I stood in the middle of the living room. All of a sudden I heard little clipping noises. I gasped when the dog I saw before came charging at me. "Ah!" I cursed as the Pitbull jumped on top of me. From what I can tell it was a female. I laughed as she attacked my face with her slobbery tongue. "Okay! Okay! I like you too!" I laughed as I rubbed her head. Her tail was going crazy and she made a happy groaning noise when I rubbed right above her tail. 

"What's your name sweetie?" I asked the dog. 

"Samantha." A familiar voice, less muffled but not all the way muffled, answered. I jumped off the the floor to see a tall figure in the living room near a door. He had his arms crossed, and I could see a few abs through the- VANOSSGAMING T-SHIRT HE WAS WEARING! Oh my lord! Was this Delirious? I shook off my thoughts and walked towards the man, Samantha close behind. I walked really close and crossed my arms, mocking him. "So, you actually wear a fucking mask?" I laughed. He giggled and nodded, "No, no. Totally not." I started laughing even harder. "Wow, you're also sarcastic in real life." I smirked. "Ey! Ya two lovebirds! The pizza's here!" Luke yelled as he walked out of another room. Delirious groaned and grabbed his wallet, walking towards the door. 

We sat down at the small wooden table in Delirious's kitchen. "Dude, you don't know how much I love the supreme pizza." Luke said with his mouth full. "Don't talk with your mouth full!" Delirious scolded his friend. "You tell me that every Friday night babe." Luke joked as Delirious punched him in the arm. I laughed at the two and continued looking at Delirious as they talked. 

What can I say?! I might have the smallest crush on my best friend, no big deal! I mentally rolled my eyes and punched myself. I looked at his legs and how strong they looked, and they were very... not hairy? His arms were hairy though, but that was normal for males and females. His neck was a whole 'nother universe. It was perfect for my hickie- I mentally slapped myself as my face heated up. "You alright Vanoss?" Delirious asked as he lifted his mask up just above his lips to eat his pizza. As soon as I saw his plump lips I totally lost control over my body parts, specifically my lil buddy. I coughed and crossed my legs. "Yeah, I'm good, just wanna know why you lied to us the other night." When I said that Luke gave Delirious a look. The masked man's shoulders slunk and he pouted. Luke's stare got deeper. "Fine!" Delirious finally said. "Vanoss- I mean Evan, I need to explain a lot to you, but only you. Luke already knows anyways, but what I mean is... you can't tell the guys." As I looked through the mask holes into Delirious's bright blue eyes, I watched as pain went through them. I nodded, "I will never tell any of the guys, I will never do anything to hurt you Delirious, I promise." He stood up and hugged me, our strong arms squeezing each other's. 

Delirious grabbed my arm and pulled me up the stairs. He opened the wooden door and walked into a room that I expected to filled with blue everything, and heck, I was right. He had a blue comforter, curtains, wallpaper, and even a dark blue gaming chair. His set up was of course black, and his desk. Any of his other geeky stuff was any other color. I found another door, a door that slid, and looked like a closet, that door was locked. I wondered what was inside, what Delirious was hiding. Delirious suddenly pushed me onto the bed. He sat down beside me, "So... I'm gonna tell you about my past first, okay?" I nodded. And as he started I could see the tears in his eyes through the mask. Half way through he was full out balling, but I could understand him. At the end we were both balling. 

I instantly hugged him, our tears falling onto each other. "Now... the closet." He swallowed, "That goes along with the stuff in my story." He said and looked at me. I nodded and he gestured towards the locked closet. As the door clicked Delirious pulled me into a huge walk-in closet. On one side he had regular clothes. On the other side there was very little clothing, only one or two dresses and a few other outfits that looked a little feminine. I circled around the closet, looking for Delirious. He was staring at me from the back. He started walking towards me, and it felt so hot in the room all of a sudden.

He looked right into my eyes and grabbed my hand. He slowly pulled it to his mask. As he pulled my hand to the mask he took a shaky breath, "E-Evan?" 

"Yes Delirious?" His name was heavy on my lips.

"D-Do you know what an androgyny is?"
