~Vik's POV~

"I'm heading out!"

I hear footsteps running down the hall. Simon and Josh slide to a stop in front of me. They both cross their arms and give a 'where do you think you're going' look. Josh is the first to speak.

"Ahem, did you get permission to go out?"

"You guys realize we are only like 3 years apart in age right? You aren't actually my parents."

"Do not speak to your father that way Vikram!"

"Oh my God. I am twenty years old. I shouldn't have to go through this shit."

"Your mother is right Vikram. We can not have you disrespecting us and watch your language."

I see JJ watching this spectacle from the archway. I give him a pleading look and he nods.

"Guys leave little Vikky alone."

A smirk takes over his face.

"He's got a date with Lachlan."

"I DO NOT WE ARE JUST FRIENDS!"

Simon and Josh do the telepathic thing and then turn back to me.

"When he gets here have him come in so we can talk to him."

"Fuck off. I'm out."

I storm out the door and laughter floats past me. I can hear all three of their stupid laughs. The teasing has gotten really bad the past month.

It's been two months since my breakdown at the park. Lachlan and I texted a lot the few days after it. We begin hanging out after I got some encouragement from Daniel. We cleared up a ton of things.

For instance, Lachlan is indeed studying abroad and the dorm building I had painted was his. The friend that had called him that night was Jay, another Australian. He was very adamant about the fact that Jay was just a friend.

On my end, I introduced him to the Sidemen. Lachlan thinks that the whole Mama Minter/ Daddy Josh things is hilarious. He often refers to Josh as 'Father Josh', though never to his face. I eventually told him the reason my friends had fought and he supported me, even revealing that he was bisexual himself.

I open the door to the café; holding it open for a couple of people that are leaving. I spot Daniel at one of the tables. I give a little wave and head to the counter. I put in my name and order. I head to the table and sit down.

"Hey, Vik."

"Hi, Daniel. How are you this morning?"

"Pretty good. I'm excited to meet your friend."

"Yeah. He can't wait to meet you either."

My name gets called and I make my way back up to the counter. I see the cup with my name and go to grab it, but just as I reach it another hand grabs it and snatches it from its spot. I turn towards the retreating hand. I'm still slightly upset from the parent spectacle and this prankster is just adding insult to injury.

"Listen here you fuc- LACHLAN!"

His laughs greet my ears. I rip the cup from his hands and slap him. Tears spring to his eyes as he doubles over in laughter. I stomp back to the table. Daniel gives me an amused look. Lachlan pulls up another chair.
