That one exception

part 26

"Is there any way we can stop time?" I mutter looking down at Mini again.

"I wish...if you find out hot let me know...I'm so done with only seeing him once a year...twice if I'm lucky"

"that sucks...can't you guys see more of each other? I mean flights aren't that expensive these days"

"I can't fly...damn things give me panic attacks, I had to drive from North Carolina to be here...I can't take the time off to drive to L.A, it would take me a couple of weeks to get enough video's so I could spend a few days with him"

"at which point you'd be so tired you would spend most of you time with him asleep"

"He's busy as all hell so...we're kinda screwed...we just make the most of skype and the time we do get together"

"you could always move in together, you wouldn't be the first youtubers to share"

"We've been talking about it, I'd have to move to L.A though...with the amount of stuff he does we'd see each other only a little more than we do now if he moved to Greensboro...what about you and Mini?"

"I'm going to be seeing as much of him as I can, I don't want to cowed him though I don't want him getting sick of me living in his pockets all the time"

"The way you two have been making googly eyes at each other...I doubt that will happen"

"I can't risk it, I can't lose him Delirious...the knowledge that I've got to let go of him tomorrow is like waiting to have part of me chopped off" I pulled Mini closer, running my hand up in to his hair, I was surprised when he didn't even stir from his sleep.

"I can't see him staying away from you too long either...the other night at the club, before that dickhead showed up, he was twitchy as hell and wouldn't take his eyes off you" Delirious lowered his voice as Evan fidgeted in his arms.

"So how long have you two been together?" I was expecting him to say they'd only been together a short time, I knew it was longer than a few months because he'd said they only got to see each other once or twice a year.

"four years...feels like only five minutes though...I still get that anxious excitement when I'm going to see him...even if it is only online for recording Gmod or something" a shy smile tugged at his mouth as he looked at the sleeping man next to him.

"Four years!" I repeated in surprise "you kept it hidden for four years?...how did we not notice?"

"We just didn't mention it...I won't lie it was insanely hard not to say anything at all and I did screw up once or twice...Evan was quick enough to cover my ass though"

"I never noticed anything and I'm sure the guys would of said something if they had...you've seen how they are with Min and I"

"the difference is we don't leak our intensions towards each other all over the place"

"Leak...that sounds vaguely dirty"

"In other words...for months you and Min have been acting different, you have been more protective of him and making comments along the lines of getting his ass or owning his ass...and Mini seems to have been more flustered or saying you couldn't have his ass, like he was setting you some kind of challenge"

"We weren't that bad!" I complain as I pull a face

"Yes you were" Evan mumbled sleepily but didn't move at all.

"Shut up and go back to snuggling your boyfriend" I chuckle realising he had been awake for the whole conversation.

"says the guy petting his bae" Evan fidgeted and looked over at where Mini and I were curled up.  It was then that I realised I was stroking Mini's hair.  I stopped and moved my hand to his waist and cleared my throat.  I could feel my face heating up and was pretty sure I was blushing.
