"I'm Thinking This Is a Problem We Can Solve Together" (Jevon One-shots)

First Fight part 3/3

It was now lunch time and I was following Junior to our lunch table, my eyes glued to the floor trying to convince myself to not cry. Junior has just told me that Jake told Lexy about the kiss before me, his boyfriend, the second person the kiss affected most(first being Jake). Jake would rather open up to his ex tormenter than his boyfriend with absolute ease and he just proved it. The question is answered, he doesn't feel comfortable opening up to me and that cut me deep.

I bump into Junior, now nothing that he stopped walking and is now a few steps away from our table. I look over his shoulder and see Tailey at out table yet again and attached to Jake like always. He didn't seem to be minding it nor stopping her just like when she kissed him. Junior looks to me and then looks back at the table, obviously asking me if I was comfortable going over there. I gulp before nodding and following his now moving footsteps again.

I sit next to Junior at the end of the table and don't speak a word, I just stare down at my lap with my head down and suffocate in my thoughts. I hear Paisley laugh dramatically and I can't help but lift my head and see what the cause of this was. I see Jake letting out a nervous laugh next to her, as her hands were wrapped around Jake's body in a side hug. I look around the table and see nobody else fazed by this. I feel jealousy and anger prick my chest and I gulp down my spiteful words in an attempt to be peaceful but that goes to hell when $8 ebay Ms. Frizzle kisses Jake's cheek.

"What the fuck is wrong with you? How desperate do you have to be? He doesn't want your musty ass, stop fucking touching him." I call to the redhead problem child. My tone isn't light but also isn't loud enough to draw attention to other students at different tables. "I'm sorry are you talking to me?" She asks. "No shit, who else would I be addressing?" I question back. "Why are you being so hostile towards me sevon? Is that how you were raised to talk to women?" Jackie asks.

"Bitch don't play with me, you know damn well fucking up your name is my thing and don't even question how I was raised when you're the one who's going after a taken gay guy. You're practically forcing yourself on him and I'm being hostile because you like to kiss other guys boyfriend who have shown no interest in you." I correct her. She gives me a look of shock. "Jake is not gay and he's definitely not taken...well besides by me. You're only saying this because you're obsessed with him." She states proudly, loud and wrong. Junior lets out a howl of laughter and Lexy lightly giggles before trying to stop herself. Jake whips his head towards both of us in shock that she thinks she is dating him and the fact that I know about kiss.

"Baisley- Bailey I am gay and I'm dating Devon." Jake says at the the same time I say "uh yes he is and I'm not the obsessed one." "Gay guys don't kiss girls and we kissed last week Jake. Now we're dating." Bailey says, turning to Jake. "Okay I didn't kiss you. You kissed me and without consent, and I've been ghosting you since then. People who are dating don't ghost each other and I never once gave you the impression that I like you." Jake says to her. Bailey scoffs before getting up and storming away from us.

Jake turns to me with a look of guilt and confusion. "You knew?" He voices. "Yeah...I actually saw it with my own eyes. You didn't even tell me... you told Lexy and not me." I say before getting up and walking away from our table.

Jake's pov (sorry for all the pov changes)

I spend the entire rest of the lunch period looking for Devon and blowing up his phone and getting no luck. After school I go to his house to look for him. His mom lets me inside and asks me to bring Devon his Advil she was taking to him, something about him not feeling well. I do as she asks and go upstairs towards Devon's room and knock before entering.

Devon lays on his bed in a huge blanket watching Gotham on Netflix.(what the author is doing rn...)
"Hey Dev...your mom told me to give you this." I say, slowly walking towards him. "You can leave it on the dresser, I don't actually need it. You can also leave." He says nonchalantly. "Devon we need to talk." I insist. "Why? You didn't want to talk before today." He replies. "Please Devon." I beg. He huffs before unraveling himself and pausing his episode and looking up at me. "I'm sorry. I didn't know how to bring the kiss up to you and I wasn't thinking properly when I told Lexy first instead of you." I admit.

"I was constantly pressing you out to tell. Hinting at it constantly, trying to reassure you that you can talk to me and that any moment would have been a great time to tell me." He states, voice drowned in sadness. "I know baby and I'm sorry. I don't know why I did what I did and I can't excuse that. I'm sorry for hurting you and not ignoring your feelings towards Bailey. She was bad news and you knew that and I just ignored it." I comfort him.

"How do I trust you? More importantly how do I get you to trust me? I don't understand how you couldn't open up to me but the words just flowed out when you were with Lexy. Do I make you uncomfortable or unsafe? Is that why you couldn't speak with me?" He asks. "What no! I....I guess I didn't tell you because I couldn't stand the idea of disappointing you or hurting you. Which I did anyway but none of this was because of you or your actions." I tell him.

"Devon, I feel safest, most comfortable, and respected whenever I'm with you. You are not at fault for my actions, okay. Everything that happened was because of my own stupidity and nerves and I'm sorry I made you second guess yourself and made you feel insecure. I promise I won't do it again." I continue. Devon smiles at me. "Yeah...you can be pretty stupid." He says. I chuckle. "Serious- can I kiss you pretty boy?" He cuts me off. I nod before he does as he asked.

When we pull apart he offers me room under his blanket and after I accept he unpaused his show and we watch in comfort, wrapped in both the warm blanket and each other's embrace.

This one shot originally had 4 parts but I changed that because I have over 12+ other oneshots I'm working on and I don't want to keep working on old ones such as this so I'm just leaving it at this instead of going with my original plan. This is rushed because I wanted to upload & my school brain is tired asf so I haven't posted in a minute. I'm going to try to have another oneshot out by Friday and another chapter of my squid games book out on the same day.
