Sorry I was in the shower. What’d I miss? Has A already gotten sweet little Ever into bed? Jericho is gonna be pissed, bro

Arsen

Arsen didn’t do anything. I wouldn’t do that.

Arlo

But it looked like you could if you wanted.

Dimitri

Do you? Want it?

Arsen flopped back onto the bed, staring at the text. Of course, he fucking wanted it. Who was he kidding? Clearly, not his friends.

Arsen

It doesn’t matter what I want.

Felix

Don’t be such a martyr.

Noah

What’s happening?

Felix

Arsen here thinks sweet little Ever is off the menu because of his tragic backstory. Apparently you can’t want sex if you’ve been traumatized.

Noah

Tell me you didn’t say that.

Arsen rolled his eyes before typing:

That’s NOT what I said.

Zane

You sort of did, though.

Arsen

You weren’t even there.

Cree

You guys all seem so sure Arsen is trying to fuck this kid. Didn’t he, like, just rescue him from life in a literal closet? It’s been like three days. Not fucking him seems like any easy ask. You guys are perverts.

Lake

Wait who is not fucking who? I’m too lazy to scroll back up. What did I miss? Wait. Is this about Arsen kissing Ever in front of all of Beyonce’s internet?

Levi

Why is everybody acting like this kid is so innocent. He might look like a Walt Disney creation but he is a feral little demon. I still have the mark where he bit me.
