Secrets. -RossxRoyxRobert Sleepover Story!-

Bouncing- Chapter 9

ROBERT'S POV

We walked and walked, making small talk about minecraft, or what we could do after. Ross seemed more quiet than usual though. I'm still worried about him. His head seemed down as we trotted across the pavement. He would nod his head, and make short remarks or answers, but nothing elaborate, or normal for that matter. "Ross?" I ask. "Hm?" He answers, not looking up. "Are you sure your-" I start. "I'm fine, Rob." Ross says. He called me Rob again! I like that nickname. I sigh as we continue to walk, as Roy talks about minecraft. "One time- I faced a hoard of like, 12 zombies, and got away with a singular heart left. On hardcore mode!!" Roy exclaimed as we moved towards my house. I could see it in the distance as he blabbered on.

ROY'S POV

I quiet down as we near his house. Though I'm still worried about Ross, I think, just maybe, we can enjoy this without something going wrong! "We're here!" Robert says happily. "Obviously." I say, and Robert opens the gate and lets us through. A giant trampoline, every 8/9 year olds dream, hovers above us, casting a shadow into the neighbors yard in the dense, cool sunlight. "Damn." I say. We'd never seen Robert's trampoline, it's very new to both him and us. It was bought mostly for his younger sister, but also for him.

ROSS'S POV

My head is spinning like crazy at this point. Are they doing this to me? Is this still a cold? Being near them while thinking about it almost makes it worse. I'm pretty sure I have a small cold, but just being near them is making my head spin. These damn crushes are worse than I thought. "Ugh." I say out loud by accident. "Are you sure you're fucking alright Ross?" Roy asks. "Yes, the sunlight is just bright. You know I like darker places." I say as an excuse. They probably don't believe me.

ROBERT'S POV

I don't think Ross is ok still. But we climb onto the trampoline, and take off our shoes. "Been a while since I've jumped on a trampoline." Roy says as he steadies himself on the bouncy surface. "Same here." Ross says, standing still. We all jump around for a bit, falling over now and then, making funny remarks and laughing. Ross doesn't seem to be enjoying it as much though. While jumping though, I slip, and bounce sideways. Directly, into, Roy.

ROY'S POV

"What the hell-" I start as Robert crashes into me. He rolls me over and next thing I know, I'm right. On. Top. Of. Him. Shit shit shit shit shitt this situation could not get any worse! We already were in this position yesterday!!! I turn an awkward shade of red and pink and quickly roll over, sitting down and taking a breath. The red fades slightly and I stand up as soon as possible. Ross saw that whole situation. I can't believe that just happened. My heart is freaking racing! I "like" these guys! More than I originally thought.

ROSS'S POV

Well, that just happened. Now Roy is a shade of light red and Robert is still laying there, in shock. My head still hurts. Really, really bad. "Guys, we've been here. A- while, so maybe we should... uh.. head back- soon?" I manage. That sounded really bad. Roy just looked at me, confused, and even Robert gave me a "What?" kind of look. "Ross. Seriously." Roy said, clearly annoyed. I didn't want to tell them, because part of it was them! I sighed, trying to calm down. Though, Robert lying there like a dead roach was very amusing. But I think he noticed me staring and sat up.

ROBERT'S POV

"Though I think Ross needs to go back anyways, we have been here a while. It is getting sorta late. Maybe we could watch another movie or two when we get back?" I asked, hoping it would be enough to get us to go back home. Though Roy seemed to want to go back anyways based off the expression on his face. Roy sat up, and said, "Robert's right. I'm getting a bit tired, and I should rest a bit myself from hitting my head yesterday." "Yeah." Ross agreed, and we started our trip back home.

ROY'S POV

We should get home after not too long. I can't stop thinking about them, and the possibility they like me. I mean, if we all liked each other it would be amazing, but... I don't know. I hope they do. We could all be poly together! I just wish I had the guts to ask them about it. But the thought of even doing that makes me nauseous. Just like crying out in the rain did. Which I don't want to think about right now. So I'll try to think about something else, like minecraft. Yet my thoughts keep drifting back to them. Eventually, through my struggle we make it back. We walk through the door and I lock it behind us.

ROSS'S POV

"I- I'll be right back guys." I say, in a not so awkward way, and head to the bathroom. I drench my face with water. I've liked people, but not this bad. The droplets splatter on the sink. My head hurts still. It's like it'll never end. Why though? I've accepted I like them, they might like me and we are having fun together! This isn't a cold anymore. I'm not roasting anymore either. This is something psychologically wrong, and I don't understand what it is! "You good Ross?" I hear Roy call from his bedroom. "Mhm!" I call back, hopefully loud enough for him to hear. Maybe the rest of the night will go better.

ROBERT'S POV

When Ross came out and sat near us, he didn't look as sickly. But something was still bothering him, and I'm determined to find out what it is! "You guys wanna watch a horror movie?" I suggest. Roy nods really fast at the idea, and Ross just shrugs. "Which one?" Roy asks. "I like Prey For The Devil!" I say, and Roy automatically rushes downstairs, clearly indicating that he wants to watch it, and knows well his parents own it. He returns pretty fast, and puts the movie in. He leans against the beds backboard like last night, and Ross sits close to me as the movie starts. Ross lets out a little shiver as it loads. I wonder why.
