Delicate

Chapter Thirty Seven

Milan tried to maintain a straight face as he sat in the passenger seat of Leo's car. Leo had a pretty self explanatory smirk on his face as he drove. Nessa was passed out on the backseat, and Quinn was giving knowing looks to both of them through the rear view mirror.

"Oh my god, you both hooked up! I get it! What's with the tension, geez?" Quinn finally broke the silence.

"What? No, we didn't!" Milan attempted to lie. "I would never do that in someone else's house."

"You're a terrible liar," Quinn sighed.

Milan looked at Leo to defend him, but the older boy just pursed his lips before shrugging.

"You are a pretty bad liar, babe," Leo said. Milan narrowed his eyes at his boyfriend, before groaning.

"Okay, fine. We did it in the guest bathroom, happy?" Milan said.

"Hey, I'm not one that got a happy ending, you are," Quinn retorted. "Or at least I hope you did."

"Oh, he did," Leo smirked. "He very much did."

"Can we change the topic?" Milan spoke up.

"For someone that's been doing the dirty since freshman year, you're awfully shy about it." Quinn sighed. "Sex is good. Sex is healthy! Be proud and out!"

"I am out and proud," Milan frowned.

"Oh, you—" Quinn was interrupted by Leo.

"Are we taking Nessa to her place or yours?" Leo asked.

"Mine," Quinn answered. They opened their mouth to continue their conversation with Milan, but Leo once again cut them off.

"Cool. Is she okay though? She's passed out stone cold," Leo pointed out.

"She'll have a hangover tomorrow but other than that it's fine. Trust me, I've seen her drink much more than this." Quinn waved it off dismissively.

"Good. Good. What did you both do tonight? I didn't see either of you," Leo questioned.

"Oh, we were hanging out with Nessa's friends upstairs," Quinn answered. "Oh my god, did you both know that Jasmine is dating—"

Quinn went off on a rant about all the gossip they learned that night. Milan turned to give Leo a grateful look for successfully distracting Quinn, even though he knew Leo had no interest whatsoever in listening to school chit-chat and the latest rumors. Leo gave Milan a cheeky wink, before grabbing his hand and intertwining their fingers.

Nessa woke up mid-way through Quinn's rant, and joined in with more details. Leo had no clue how that girl had so much energy, but he mentally praised that about her. Ten minutes later, he dropped them off at Quinn's place, and once again it was finally just the two boyfriends.

They drove in silence until Leo stopped the car in front of Milan's house. They both removed their seatbelts, before facing one another. Leo leaned forward, connecting their lips and kissing Milan softly. He pulled back, resting his forehead against his boyfriend's.

"I'm so glad I met you," Leo whispered.

"And I'm happy I got to start the year with you," Milan smiled.

"Well, technically..." Leo grinned. "You got to start the year with me in you."

"Leo!"

One Hour Ago.

"Leo..."

"You've got to be quieter if you don't want anyone to know what we're doing in here," Leo whispered.
