Y/N POV
I'm cuddling with Gregg. I feel happy, well happier then I've been the past two years, that's for damn sure. I thank whatever god is above for allowing me to be this happy. I start to hum a song we sang in combat, we called it "Suck it, North Korea!", or as our German compatriots at our battery called it, "Lutsch es, Nordkorea!" After about twenty minutes of hugging Gregg and humming, Bea and Mae both wake up. Bea looks at us and smiles, saying
Bea: So, I think I know who Y/N likes, right Mae?
Mae: Oh definitely, the two lovebirds!
I see Gregg blush, so I kiss him on the forehead.
Y/N: Yep, and I'm proud of it!
Gregg smiled.
Gregg: Love you bro.
Y/N: Love you too dude.
Bea and Mae just kinda sit there, not knowing what to say. They were probably just trying to be arseholes, but jokes on them, Gregg and I are in a relationship now! Mae doesn't know I'm into dudes, so she just kind of sits there. Bea smiles, and Mae asked.
Mae: Y/N, when did you start liking guys?
Y/N: Oh, I've been into dudes since middle school, but I stayed closeted so I wouldn't get shit for it.
Mae: Oh, yeah I guess that makes sense.
Bea: Didn't you take a girl to junior prom?
Y/N: I was willing to do a lot of shit to hide it, hell I even had sex with that girl that you guys made me play seven minutes in heaven with.
They all looked at me.
Bea: Wow, umm, that's dedication.
Y/N: Yeah, I know.
Gregg: Well dude, you don't have to hide it anymore!
I smile. Of course they accept me, half of them are queer as well. Gregg decides to get up, sadly. He sits down on the chair next to the bed, and I sit up. All of us sat bullshitting. Bea is a socialist, I used to and still don't care, but now I'd prefer if she didn't talk about it around me. She started talking about it, so I tell her.
Y/N: Bea, you know we're friends right?
Bea: Yeah, why?
Y/N: Please, shut the fuck up about Socialism, at least around me.
Everyone looked at me again, kinda surprised. I've never been a confrontational person.
Bea: Uhh, yeah I can, why?
Y/N: I've seen the effects of a Socialist government first hand, and I've suffered at the hands at their soldiers in a Labor camp.
Everyone was stunned, they must've not heard about it.
Gregg: You were in one of their labor camps!? Why didn't you write?
Y/N: one they had strict censorship, and I mean strict. If I had even said that I was feeling less then ok, I'd be executed by a guard. Two, I didn't want you guys to be scared or worried for me.
Mae: Are you dumb or just stupid? We'd have been worried about you, didn't matter if you were in a Korean Labor camp or in a US hospital! We'd have been worried about you either way!
Bea and Gregg both nod, they agreed with her sentiments. I'm now feeling stupid. I look to the group, and frown.
Y/N: Sorry guys.
Gregg: It's okay dude, just make sure to correct that mistake in the future.
Y/N: Trust me, I'm never going back overseas.
Gregg: Good, love you.
Y/N: Love you too.
We start talking about random things, like birds for some reason.
Gregg: So yeah, I saw a bluebird the other day, it was pretty cool.
Bea: Gregg you could see a flying dildo and find it cool.
Gregg: Yeah, so?
Y/N: Flying dildos are funny!
Bea rolls her eyes again, and we continue talking. Soon, the doctor comes in.
Doctor: You gave us quite the scare Y/N, but we took care of you and now you can go home if you'd like.
Y/N: Sweet, thanks doc.
Gregg: Just please, if you start freaking out again, tell me. I'm your boyfriend now and I worry about you.
Y/N: sorry hon.
Gregg: It's good dude, let's just go home.
I get out of my medical gown, and get dressed back up in my street clothes. We walk down to the car, and hop in.
Bea: Y'all want anything to eat?
Mae: DONUT WOOOOLF!
Gregg: Yeah!
Y/N: Ride the chariot!
Mae and Gregg: To donut hell!
Bea sighs, she hates donut wolf. I forgot that but remembered it now.
Y/N: we can go get you something as well.
Bea: No, I'll be fine.
Y/N: Bea I insist, let's stop at a Burger Fox or something as well.
Bea: Ughh, if you insist.
We stop at the two different restaurants. On the drive home, we see a grain elevator fire. Fire rose about half a mile above the silo.
Gregg: Holy shit dude! Look at that!
Y/N: Damn, we didn't even have fires that big back overseas.
Mae: I thought Grain Elevators were relatively safe from fires?
Bea: No, there's a lot of dangers that can cause fires on them contraptions.
Mae: Since there's all that flammable grain, you'd think they'd have a crap ton of safety measures.
Y/N: They do, there was probably a touch of human error. I've never seen a elevator go up like that before.
Gregg: Didn't you work for a farmer in high school?
Y/N: Yeah. It was hard and rough work, but it built up a work ethic.
Gregg: Yeah, got you into good shape for the football team as well.
Y/N: Our team wasn't the best, but we somehow pulled a state championship out of our asses.
Gregg: Yeah, the fact that you, a lineman, made the game winning touchdown surprised the coaches even, even though they made the play that you ran.
Y/N: Heh, yeah.
Bea: Yeah, I didn't see that coming either, and I know nothing about football.
Mae: All I understand is the part that you get to hit others.
Y/N: Oh yeah, that was my normal job, but at that game I was thrown into a running back position, but was on the line. When I took off down the field, everyone on the other team ignored me, until I got twenty yards from the end zone, when I caught the ball and everyone was still down the other end. You should've seen the look on their D linemen's faces when I stopped and looked at them as I moonwalked into the end zone. God that was priceless.
Gregg: I bet!
Mae: yeah!
Bea: Yeah, didn't you have to run sprints the next day?
Y/N: Yeah but it was worth it.
Bea: Yeah, I'd say it would be.
After twenty minutes, we return to Possum Springs. Bea stops outside our apartment complex, and as I get out of the car, Gregg gets out as well. I look at him, confused. He looks at me, smiles and says.
Gregg: do you really think I'm leaving you alone after the bullshit you pulled yesterday? Plus, we have a cuddle session to continue!
I roll my eyes and we walk up to my apartment, hand in hand. When we enter, we sit down on the couch and start to cuddle. This is the life. We accidentally fall asleep in each other's arms.
