Chapter 9
Brice's POV
I was more than a little mad at Adam, I was basically ready to kill him. He knew how I felt about people cheating, and now he was doing it. I was so caught up in yelling at Adam I didn't realize Seto and Ty had left. I go outside and see Ty just standing on the sidewalk crying, but I didn't care about that at the moment I just wanted to find Seto "Where'd he go?" I ask, Ty just points down the street. I start walking down when I decide to turn around and talk to Ty "Also your boyfriends waiting inside for you" I knew I shouldn't have felt good about that, but I did.
I walked down a while till I saw a kid walking home "'Seto!" I called he stopped and turned around "Hey Brice" I jogged and caught up with him "You okay?" I ask, he just nods his head "I'm not that upset I mean I'm upset just not that much" he says "Well I'm gonna give Adam hell on Monday" Me and him walk in silence for a while till I hear him stop walking, "Seto? I turn around and see him looking down tears falling onto the ground. I walk over to him, "I knew you weren't okay" I wrap my arms around him and just let him cry into my shirt. He stops crying after a while and we just stand embraced, "I wanna go back" I look down at him, "You sure?" he lets go of me before smiling at me, "Yeah I am"
We go back to my house and Seto immediately heads over to the cooler grabbing another beer. I walk over to him, "Do you really think you need that?" he rolls his eyes at me, "Calm down Brice, I'm fine" I sigh, "Okay, just watch how much you drink" he chuckles, "Will do mom"
Time goes by and I have lost track of where Seto is. I scan around my living room concern rushing through my body. I then spot his cape over near a corner, I begin making my way over to him when I notice he's talking to...Ty? As I move closer to them I hear snippets of their conversation, "Look Ty I get it" "Seto you don't need to get it. You don't deserve an idiot like me" I roll my eyes at that, Seto didn't even deserve to know him. I go behind him and place a hand on his shoulder, he looks up at me, "Oh hey Brice" "Seto," I glance up at Ty who was looking down at the ground, "can I talk to you?" Seto nods his head and we walk away from Ty. I cross my arms and he takes another drink from his beer, "Really?" I ask, he looks up at me before sighing, "Look we were just talking" "He cheated on you Seto!" he looks down, "Well so did I." My heart skips a beat after those words, he was right, we had kissed while him and Ty were together. "That's different" I try to defend, but Seto doesn't let it happen, "No it's not, we kissed while I was with Ty. There is no difference" I feel guilt invade my mind, "Fine, just be careful will you?" he looks up at me and gives me a slight smile, "Will do"
After that I go and find a beer chugging it slightly, "Woah slow down there Brice" I turn around and see Preston behind me. I chuckle slightly, "I'm fine, just really thirsty" he smiles softly at me, "Or something is bugging you, I'm gonna go with my option" I frown, "I'm fine Preston" he rolls his eyes, "Oh come on Brice, it's me, Preston! You can tell me anything" I look at him and smile, "Alright fine." We walk over to an empty couch and I let out everything. From my feelings for Seto, to how we kissed, to how Ty and Adam had kissed. He sat patiently listening to me, and when I finished he whistled, "Damn Brice, and you've kept that all in you?" I just nod my head, he moves closer to me, "That's not good Brice, keeping all of your feelings inside you like that" I put my head in my hands, "I know, I just don't know what to do." Preston stays quiet for a minute, he snaps his fingers before speaking, "Date me!" I look up at him quickly, confused by what he said. "What?" he smiles, "Date me, you know to make Seto jealous" I sit up and stare at Preston, "You're being serious" Preston laughs, "Yes! If we date, and Seto gets jealous then you know he likes you. Simple!" I laugh at how excited he was about this, "You seem a little too excited about this plan of yours" he shrugs, "I'm just dedicated to my plans, it wouldn't be real of course. Besides I got my own reasons for wanting to do this as well" he looks up and I follow his eyes over to Rob who was standing near Mitch and Jerome. I laugh again, "Well thanks Preston, but I think I'm gonna pass" he smiles, "Alright, but if you change your mind you know where to find me!" with those words he's gone.
Hours go by and I'm slightly tipsy now, I look down at my watch and see that it's nearly three. I quickly scan the room and see no one's really too keen on leaving yet. A pair of arms go around me and I jump, "Hey Brice!" I turn around and see Seto. I laugh, "Jesus you scared me" he laughs, "Sorry, I've actually been looking for you" my heart skips a beat and I smile again, "Really?" he nods his head. I then look over at the area with all the musical equipment and an idea comes to my head. I grab Seto's hand and pull him over to the instruments, "Brice what are you doing?" he says while laughing, "Well it's time to end the party, and I thought we'd end it on a high note." I had him the guitar and then click on the mix, "Hello all party goers!" cheers erupt from the crowd and I smile. "Okay well I'm sorry to say that the party is coming to an end," boos follow and I laugh slightly, "but we're gonna end the night with some live music from the one and only...Seto Loral!!" I stand back and Seto steps forward. He takes the mic "Uh hello everyone, so I didn't know I'd be performing today, but how many of you know Stressed out?" cheers erupt again. Seto laughs, "Well that's good," he then looks back at me then at the piano, "Brice wanna help me with this?" claps come from the crowd so I say fuck it and go to the piano.
Seto starts the song and I follow his lead:
I wish I found some better sounds no one's ever heard
I wish I had a better voice that sang some better words
I wish I found some chords in an order that is new
I wish I didn't have to rhyme every time I sang
I was told when I get older all my fears would shrink
But now I'm insecure and I care what people think
My name's Blurryface and I care what you think
My name's Blurryface and I care what you think
Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out
Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out
We're stressed out
Sometimes a certain smell will take me back to when I was young
How come I'm never able to identify where it's coming from
I'd make a candle out of it if I ever found it
Try to sell it, never sell out of it, I'd probably only sell one
It'd be to my brother, 'cause we have the same nose
Same clothes homegrown a stone's throw from a creek we used to roam
But it would remind us of when nothing really mattered
Out of student loans and tree-house homes we all would take the latter
My name's Blurryface and I care what you think
My name's Blurryface and I care what you think
Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out
Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out
We used to play pretend, give each other different names
We would build a rocket ship and then we'd fly it far away
Used to dream of outer space but now they're laughing at our face
Saying, "Wake up, you need to make money"
Yeah
We used to play pretend, give each other different names
We would build a rocket ship and then we'd fly it far away
Used to dream of outer space but now they're laughing at our face
Saying, "Wake up, you need to make money"
Yeah
Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out
Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out
Used to play pretend, used to play pretend, bunny
We used to play pretend, wake up, you need the money
Used to play pretend, used to play pretend, bunny
We used to play pretend, wake up, you need the money
We used to play pretend, give each other different names
We would build a rocket ship and then we'd fly it far away
Used to dream of outer space but now they're laughing at our face
Saying, "Wake up, you need to make money"
Yeah
Claps and cheers come from the crowd and Seto laughs, "Thank you guys! Have a safe time getting home!" That seems to have satisfied everyone and they start filing out. I sigh happily and can't stop smiling, that was the first time I played piano in a long time, it felt great. I look up and my smile immediately leaves as I see Seto talking to Ty. I feel my heart ache as they hug, Ty leaves after and Seto makes his way over to me. He smiles, "That was quite a show we put on out there wasn't it?" I smile again, "It sure was" silence then follows. I'm not quite sure what to say. The awkwardness takes over and I look away unsure of what to say. I sigh and turn back to Seto, he was looking down as well. "So Set-" my sentence is cut off as Seto presses his lips to mine. I'm shocked, but I quickly kiss back loving the way our lips feel together. Then the feelings gone, Seto smiles at me once more before he falls onto my shoulder asleep. My mind starts racing after and I can't think straight. I feel his soft breath hitting my neck, so I pick him up bridal style and carry him upstairs to my room. I lay him down in the bed and go to turn the lights off when a hand grabs mine, "No stay" I look down at him, "I'm just going to turn the lights off Seto" he groans, "Just come lay with me" I think about my two options and choose the latter. I turn the lights off and take off my shirt before climbing in my bed next to Seto. My family wasn't due home till tomorrow night so I had a while so I could clean. Seto wraps his arms around my waist and buries his head into my chest. My face warms up, but I just decide to let him sleep.
I wake up the next morning my head hurting slightly. I sit up and notice that Seto isn't next to me. I hear noises from downstairs, I get up and head down. I see Seto picking up trash from the floor into a trash bag, "Hey you don't have to do that" he jumps and turns around, "Jeez Brice, a little warning next time please" I laugh lightly, "Will do Seto" he turns back around and continues picking up the trash. I'm about to argue when he starts talking, "I'm doing this to make up for what I did last night" I'm not quite sure what he's talking about, "What do you mean?" he stops picking up trash and turns to look at me, "For umm you know-kissing you" his face is tinted a light pink. I'm about to tell him it's okay when he starts talking again, "Also for anything else I might have done, in the bed" I feel my face heat up now. He looks down his face now a cherry red, then my brain finally kicks in "Seto you didn't do anything like that" he looks up at me a little surprised, "I didn't?" I just nod my head. He sits down on the floor and lets out a deep breath, "Thank god," he then sighs again, "but the kiss wasn't fake" I rub the back of my neck, "No, it umm-it wasn't" he puts his head in his hands. I go over and sit next to him. I knew that he was beating himself up, but I had to ask, "Was it real?" he looks at me confused, before realizing what I meant, "Brice I-" I look away quickly talking, "Just answer me straight" silence follows the request. Then he starts talking, "Brice a drunken kiss isn't a real kiss, I just don't think I'm over Ty" those last few words get to me and I feel tears pricking at the corner of my eyes. "I'm sorry Brice" I wipe my eyes, "It's fine Seto" my voice is a little more harsh than what I meant to. His hand goes on my shoulder and I hastily stand up, "You should go, I need to start picking up" he stands up slower than me, "I can stay and help you know" I shake my head, "No, it's fine. You should just go" I can feel the guilt coming from him, but I just ignore it. "Okay well bye Brice, I'll see you tommorow" I just nod my head. I hear him leave and that's when I break down, I fall to the ground tears threatening to fall. That's when I remember what Preston said last night, I quickly pull out my phone and dial Prestons number. "Hello?" he sounds tired, but I could care less, "Hey Preston I got a question for you" "Yeah what's up Brice?" I take a deep breath before asking, "Will you go out with me?" I wait a few minutes before I hear laughing, "Of course Brice"
