Unlikely (Nerd! Fresh x Jock! Paperjam)

Chapter Twenty-Five

*Fresh POV*

PJ and I ate lunch and decided to find a bakery since we both wanted cupcakes so bad.

Since it was starting to get into the fall months it was okay to start wearing long sleeves and not die in the heat outside so I put on a turtleneck to cover up the hickeys and some jean shorts.

We both got into PJ's car (A/N: I can't remember if PJ has a car or not in the previous chapters and I don't really wanna look cause I'm lazy so let's just say he has a car now?) and he decided to stop by his house to get his clothes and tell his parents where he was last night.

"Can you wait in the car? I don't know how mad my parents are gonna be.." PJ asked. I laughed and nodded giving him a 'try not to get killed by your parents' thumbs up.

*PJ POV*

I took a deep breath before knocking on my front door. I heard a few footsteps here and there and then one of my dads, Ink, opened the door.

"PAPERJAM!!" He called excitedly and dragged me inside and onto the couch.

"I know I'm sorry I didn't tell you where I was last night-"

"DID YOU AND FRESH DO IT?!" Palette came running into the living room. My dad and Palette had asked the question at the same time.

I stared at them for a second. "How did you know?"

"PJ you're the most popular student at school. People are gonna notice when you leave in the middle of a dance with a drunk Fresh." Palette said and laughed as my cheeks heated up.

"No we didn't do it. I would never take advantage of someone under the influence." I stated. Ink nodded in a motherly/fatherly way.

"That's good." He said and patted me on the back and walked back into the kitchen. Palette grinned at me.

"Are you sure~?"

"YES." I yelled and quickly went up to my room. I changed from Fresh's puny clothes into some jeans and a long sleeved shirt that also had my basketball number on it.

I ran back to the car and got inside.

"I'm so sorry that took so long my dad was-"

"Yea I know Ink came out and we talked for a bit." Fresh cut me off and smiled. I chuckled then told Fresh to look up the directions to the bakery.

*Time Skip*

We both walked into the bakery hand in hand to find no one in there. We rang the little bell at the front and out came a small looking human girl with a bright pink apron on.

"Hi! Welcome! Sorry for the wait we are low on chefs today. What would you like?" She asked and gestures to the display of not just cupcakes but other goodies and pastries.

"Order anything you want it's on me." I said to Fresh.

"Are you sure?" He asked uncertainly. I nodded. He walked closer to the counter and ordered a red velvet cupcake. I ordered a pumpkin spice flavored cupcake to celebrate Autumn getting near. I also ordered 6 different flavored macaroons cause they are my favorite pastry ever.

"Okay your cupcakes and macaroons will be ready in about thirty minutes. Is that okay?" She asked. Fresh nodded. "I'm so sorry for the wait, like I said earlier we are very low on chefs today." She then hurried into the back.

We sat at a little table in the corner in silence. It wasn't an awkward silence just kinda like a peaceful silence. Us being alone in our thoughts.

Now that I think about it.. I've never seen Fresh's parents ever. He hasn't even talked about them once too. I've been to his house multiple times and never seen them. I've always assumed they had a job that was all day and came back really late but I stayed the night last night and they never came home. Maybe they are traveling or something?

"Hey Fresh I've just realized I've never met your parents." I said. I could feel Fresh stiffen since we were holding hands and he broke eye contact with me.

"Oh uh... they have a job that's all day and they come back late at night." Fresh mumbled.

"But I was with you all last night and I never heard them come home." I stated. Fresh winced and didn't respond.

"Your stuff is ready!" The girl came back and handed me a box. I walked Fresh to the car and we got inside.

"Fresh please don't hide anything from me.." I said as I started the car. The engine roared and I turned to face him.

A tear was rolling down his cheek and I quickly grabbed him and held him, trying to give him as much love and protection.

"I'm sorry is it a touchy topic?" I asked. Fresh nodded a bit and returned my hug.

"B-But I trust you Paperjam. The Truth is.." Fresh took a deep breath. "I've never had parents. They put me in adoption when I was super young. I don't remember them at all." He told me. "The orphanage I grew up in was horrible. It was ran by this nasty old man that always made us do work and fed us gross food. When I turned fourteen I was finally allowed to get a job so I ran away from the orphanage and got a job at a skate shop. Now I'm here." Fresh's tears slowly went away and now he was talking confidently.

"Fresh you've been through so much..." I said and smiled at him. He smiled back.

"It's okay I've moved on. My life is so much better than it was. I'm so glad you're my boyfriend."

I gave him another squeeze and I finally started driving back to Fresh's house.

"So, have you done your homework yet?" Fresh asked. I nodded my head no.

"We can do it when we get home and eat our cupcakes." Fresh smiled.

I love him.
