Race/Romeo- Secrets

This is part 2 to the last one. Hobokin8056 asked for this.

Jack had noticed Race and Romeo were spending more time together. He noticed they were acting strange. He weren't the only one, Albert noticed it to. He didn't like it how his best friend was spending less and less time with him as each day passed.

Albert asked Jack if he'd noticed their strange behaviour.

"Yes." Jack replied. "Ise asked them about it and they said nothing is going on. Something clearly is happening. It's making me mad." Jack said getting angry.

Albert nodded and left Jack to calm down.

———————————
Jack became more angry each day. The stranger they became, the more angry he had became.

Jack gave in one day when everyone was in the lodging room.

"Race, Romeo. Youse best tell me what's going on before Ise kill somethin' or someone." Jack shouted.

"Nothin's goin' on, Jack. How many times do Ise have to tell you." Race got up.

"Something is. It's not just me seeing it. Albert does too and the others." Jack replied.

Race shot a look over to Albert. Who nodded.

"He's right. Youse being different. Youse spending less time with me." Albert said quietly.

"We haven't been acting differently." Race shouted, tears welling up in his eyes.

Romeo noticed this and went an stood by Race. He put a hand on his back and rubbed it gently.

"If something wasn't up, youse wouldn't be crying." Jack said in a calmer voice.

"Fine." Race looked at Romeo who nodded. "We are going out."

Jack looked at them for a second and laughed.

"What? Youse find that funny?" Race said getting angry.

"No, Ise find it funny youse is getting worked up. Youse know we would never judge youses. Half of us is like youse." Jack laughed a little.

"Oh." Races angry frown had now turned into a smile. Romeo had a similar one on his face.

Everything was going to be okay.
