Jack's point of view

I had noticed how affectionate Finn had always been.

Sure, now he kissed me and called me sweet names, but he hugged me the same way he had since we were five, and he joked and played with my hair like he always had. It was the small things that made me slowly realize I was full on falling.

The eerie silence of my room on a Tuesday at twelve in the afternoon unsettled me. It might have been peaceful if I hadn't been thinking of Finn too much, and about how it had been a week since we did...that.

My phone lit up across the room, and I groaned as I rolled off my bed instead of getting up like a normal person to get it.

Mother Jaeden™: who wants to go hang out today

Daddy Wyatt™: when and where jae jae

Sophlilllis™: idc I'm going anyway

ChampionChosen™: yeah me too

Jer Bear™: me toooo

Finnlard 💕💓😫😩💦: I already have plans

Sophlilllis: with Jack?

Me: No, I'm gonna go with you guys

Mother Jaeden ™ : suspicious. Okay let's meet at the park in like fifteen minutes

I wondered where Finn was going, but I didn't sweat it too much.

Nobody showed up to the park until thirty minutes after we agreed, including me.

Sophia ran up to me and picked me up in a crushing hug, spinning me around so much that when she put me down I almost threw up.

"I'm so happy you and Finn finally got together! I've been waiting for like two years!"

Was everyone waiting for us to get together? Did I make it that obvious that I liked him?

You need to be more subtle, Jack.

I laughed nervously, patting Sophia on the back. "Well, I'm glad your dream came true."

Wyatt pushed Sophia out of the way, sticking his tongue out when she scoffed. "Jaeden and I, as your mom and daddy, approve of this relationship, as long as he touches nothing more than your hand."

My face turned pink. My sides started to ache where his fingertips left faint bruises and the marks below the neck of my shirt started to itch. I let out another nervous giggle.

"Cause if he does then I'll beat him up," Chosen added. "I just made myself your big brother."

"Hahahahaha, I, um, yeah we would, uh, never...do that?"

Jaeden's eyes widened. He hopped off the swing he was on and walked to me. I gave him a look that said 'try me.'

He pulled the top of my shirt down. The faded, yet there, hickeys that he left there were obvious against my pale neck.

Jeremy jumped up and down with Chosen, screaming and scaring the three toddlers nearby. What happened to Chosen beating Finn up?

Well, shit. They found you out, Jack.

"He did that?" Wyatt asked, frantically searching my neck for any more. "It's been a week! When did he find the time to do that?"

"Uuuuuhh..." I tried to think of a response, but was cut off by Jaeden.

"You know what, it doesn't matter, as long as nothing more happened."

My now back to normal face flared up in a flash of red again, and Sophia gasped this time. "Holy fuck! Tell us everything that happened!"
