Bianca and Courtney had become friends before that fateful day where they saw each other in the pink chamber of eyelashes and lipstick. Little did they know how close they would become.
After the filming of drag race, Shane and Roy started to talk more and more. Spending countless nights at each other apartments for weeks on end. Living across the country from each other gave them a great excuse to spend long periods of time with each other. Shane would visit Roy in New York for 2-3 weeks. During this time Bianca and Courtney would do gigs and shows together all the time. After those couple of weeks Shane would fly back to WeHo and immediately miss Roy. So they would proceed to set up more and more visits. Consistently spending time with each other caused suspicion amongst their mutual friends.
Courtney's POV
"So there's nothing going on between you and Roy?" Joslyn asked as we waited for Bianca to get dedrag after her gig in a local Los Angeles bar.
"No. Why would you think such a thing?" Shit. Is my head over heels crush really that obvious. I mean I get that we are together a lot but I didn't think it was that obvious.
"Oh please. You and Roy are those two "friends" that everyone but them know should be a couple. I can tell that you are head over heels for him Shane."
"We'll take two shots of fireball please." Joslyn asked the bartender as I sat speechless. How could she have found out so quickly. I'm completely screwed.
"Ok Joslyn. I will tell you the truth if you promise and swear that you won't say anything. Promise?" I said reaching my pinkie out like second grader, but let's be honest Joslyn is pretty close to one.
"Promise." she said returning the pinkie latch.
"Ok so maybe I have a slight crush on Roy..." I said clearly trying to play it off but no succeeding.
"Bitch please. You fell harder for that boy then Scarlet takes a tumble." Joslyn replied in a voice that let me know she knew the truth.
"Ok fine I like him alot..." and right as those words left my mouth the devil herself now himself walks up right behind me and of course Joslyn is using every muscle in her body not to laugh or spit out every bit of information she just received. And I can only imagine my face, but it probably had similarities to complete mortification by the look of concern on the bartender as he delivered the shots.
"Hey guys. What were you saying?" Roy asked innocently and I immediately lost all words.
"Um..." God what is wrong with me. There is just something about him that gets me weak in the knee and makes my heart flutter. I couldn't find one flaw even if I tried.
"We were just talking about how we were really feeling during drag race and how we think we will be perceived? Nothing that important." Thank the lord for Joslyn.
"Oh interesting. Is anyone gonna drink these cause I need something to wake me up. Do you mind?" Roy asked looking at me and gesturing towards the shots.
"Go ahead. Have at it." I replied figuring he would gladly take both.
"Here. Take one with me." Roy said offering me one of the two shots with a smirk that made my heart stop.
"Fine." I said giggling and cheer-sing before downing the fiery liquid.
"Ahhh." We both said in unison after finishing the shots.
"So.. what's been up with you Roy?" Joslyn asked pulling up a stool next to me for Roy to sit on.
"You know the usual sleeping, shopping, and doing shows. But it's quite enjoyable being able to visit LA often. I love New York, but here is a great getaway you know." Roy replied and proceeding to order a vodka, cranberry, and OJ. His usual.
"What's the best part of visiting LA for you?" Joslyn asked clearly trying to get something out of him.
"Well it's always great to spend time with Shane. And I get to see all of the other queens that are here like you. But yeah." After hearing the reply my heart started beating so fast I almost couldn't breathe. Man I really need to get this emotion thing under control. I look over to Joslyn who seems quite proud to see me in a sudden state of panic.
"What about you Shane what is it like getting to go to New York all the time." That shady little character. She's dumb like a fox. Why Joslyn? Why?
"Its great I've always been a fan of Broadway so it's great to be in the birthplace of all things musical related. And spending time with Roy is always great." I could feel myself blushing, but thankfully the club's lights were pretty dimmed. We proceeded to talk for a good hour.
"Well I think I should go get all my stuff packed up. I'll see you later Joslyn." Roy said getting up from his seat and slowly heading towards the dressing room.
"Bye Roy." "Well Well Well Ms.Act have a great evening with short dark and handsome over there..." she was interupted by Roy slight yell.
"Hey Shane would mind coming and helping me?" "Yeah one second."
"So you promise you'll mums the word." I asked sternly as I walked towards Roy who was waiting for me.
"Your secrets safe with me. Bye."
"Bye" I then slightly ran towards Roy.
"Hey sorry for the hold up last minute conversation." I said walking with him to the dressing room. We both walked into the dressing room as the local queens left. We exchanged goodbyes and began to gather up Bianca's things.
"It was nice talking with Joslyn..." I began to start a conversation, but noticed Roy walking towards me. I could feel my heartbeat start to speed up and me knees started to feel weak. God, this crush is severe. Even thought Roy and I have had several intimate moments like kissing and occasional drunken sex, but every time he's near me it feels like the first time all over again.
"Yeah it was, but my mind was preoccupied with something much more important." he replied holding my face gently and I could feel myself melt.
"What's that?" I asked barely getting the words out.
"Us." he said teasing my lips with his.
"Really?" I asked shaking from his gentle touch.
"Yeah I was thinking we should try being more than friends." he said bring me closer but no close enough.
"Well..." I tried to reply, but was cut off by the softness of Roy's lips. I was caught breathless just like every other time we locked lips. The sparks that I felt were unlike anything I have ever felt before. I left out a soft moan as I felt the kiss being broken by a smile growing on Roy's lips. We pulled apart slowly. When we were finally separated I shyly lowered my head with a huge smile on my face. I then felt my head being brought up by Roy's hand.
"So what do you think?" he asked me still bring my head up to be level with his.
"Roy can I be completely honest with you right now?" I asked still keeping my chin in his hand.
"Absolutely"
"Roy I'm in love with you. You might think I'm crazy but your best thing in my life and I've wanted us to be a thing since I first laid eyes on you." I said trying to turn my head away in embarrassment, but was stopped by Roy's hand.
"Shane I've had feelings for you for the longest time and being able to visit you all the time is the only thing I look forward to in life. I love you Shane." I was screaming on the inside but tried to keep my composer on the outside, but I couldn't keep a smile from washing over my cheeks.
"So is that a yes?" Roy asked pulling close again.
"Yes." I said this time grabbing his face and going into the kiss with a smile.
