Ficlets

Come What May, Pt. 86

I’m in bed with Peter, when he says the words that nearly kill me. “Dream, one of the guys really has the hots for you, I think.â€? I lay there, still as a mouse. “Um, who Peter?â€? I ask innocently. I know he’s going to say Oliver. I brace myself.

“I really think that Will wants you for himself,â€? he says, turning to look at me. I nearly let out a sigh of relief. I’ve ironically just fended off his advances this morning. Of course, I don’t say this to Peter. “I know he’s my best friend, but I’m not comfortable with how he is around you. Besides, he’s a notorious flirt, and loves women. I’d think twice about you spending time with him like you do with Ollie.â€?

He goes quiet for a minute, and then chuckles. “Dreamy, do you want to know why I’m comfortable with you being around Oliver all of the time?â€? “Why?â€? I ask. I’m a bit curious about that myself. He really seems oblivious to the fact that the relationship between Oliver and I is anything but pure and innocent. “Dream, Oliver is obviously gay.”
