It was never effortless to love Aaron Warner. He was a difficult teenage boy who seemed to forget a lot of the time that that was what he was-a teenage boy. He'd always felt that loving or even caring for him would be impossible for all the world to...

"GOOD MORNING," KENJI grins at me as I enter the downstairs facility where we all work out. He's having his breakfast with everyone else on the floor, full plates of real food, unlike what they ate when they were back at Adam's place.
I stop in place instantly. "What do you know?"
He shrugs innocently, yet he's anything but. "Nothin',"
"Yes, you do, you liar," I approach him as the others chat amongst themselves and I pinch his arm, earning a weak squeak from him. "What did Isaac tell you?"
"He didn't say a word," Kenji shoves another spoonful of cereal into his mouth. "Didn't have to—you have that I just had sex with a guy glow about you,"
"Shut up," I drop down on the mat. "I do not have a glow, I've recently been fucked not recently pregnant,"
Kenji's eyes widen. "So it's true?"
"I don't seriously have a glow though, do I?"
"Have I now made you insecure?"
I sigh. "As always,"
He nudges me. "Did you seriously have sex with Warner? Tell me now 'cause I'll leave the rest of my breakfast alone before I throw it all up—"
I roll my eyes. "Shut up, it's not funny,"
He actually looks taken aback. "Wait, are you being serious?"
"Yes, I am," I take his water and gulp down some. Then place it on the ground again. "I don't like it when you all bash him like he has no feelings. Sure, he might not be around—"
"I wasn't bashing him!"
"You were about to!"
Kenji's eyes narrow. "What is. . .wait, are you two, like, officially back together or some shit?"
I straighten myself. "Yes,"
"Woah. . .um, okay. . ."
"What?" I say a little sharper than intended.
"Nothing," He raises his hands in defense. "I don't know, I guess I just wasn't expecting it to happen,"
"Or at all," Ian's voice sounds from behind me and I jump with a gasp, only then slowly turning my head. He and Lily stand there, arms crossed over their chests, staring down at me like I'm a misbehaving child. "You fucked Warner?"
Everything is happening way too fast. Only a minute ago no one knew about my life, no one knew that Aaron and I were a thing. Okay, maybe they did but they never showed signs of such things. But now? This is wild. Insane.
"What the hell is going on?" I ask. "Did Isaac tell everyone?"
"No, we overheard you," Lily frowns. "I wish we hadn't,"
