Chapter 16: I'm an Animal

Keane's POV

We had just landed in Belfast, Eli and Cassie were going to pick us up at the Airport, even though we insisted we could get a taxi to their house, they wouldn't hear of it.

"Eli and Cassie?" I said, they beamed,

"Yes and you must be Keane," I was pulled into a warm hug, "And Tayte, Noah and Angelo" who were all after me pulled into a hug,

"Lovely to meet you all, your parents speak very highly of you" Eli said,

"They speak very highly of you too" I told him.

"Have you planned on what you want to do whilst you're here?" Cassie asked, that got Noah into a whirl wind of excitement as he chatted away to Cassie as we walked out of the airport and to their car.

"Your father rang me last night and told me to keep an eye on you" Eli said,

"I knew that was coming" I told him, Tayte squeezed my shoulder,

"It's only because he cares about you" Tayte said,

"I don't know what's been going on, or what you've been through, but if you want to talk to an outsider, Cassie and I are here okay"

"Thank you, very kind of you" I answered,

"Cassie said we should do the zoo today as it doesn't open until 10am, after she makes us some breakfast. She is actually amazing" Noah said as we climbed into their car, Cassie laughed,

"Such a charmer" She smiled, Angelo kissed him,

"I love you" He told him,

"Not as much as I love you"

"Were your parents shocked to find out both their sons were gay?" Cassie asked as Eli pulled away,

"Well...only I was gay from the beginning, from like ever" Noah said,

"What do you mean?" Eli asked,

"I came out...okay. I was always out" Noah said, I smiled "And then because Keane wanted to be like me because he saw how amazing I was, he decided he wanted to be gay too" I laughed,

"Yeah you wish it was like that" I said, "Tayte and Arii were a couple"

"Yes Tayte as in me, before you say anything" Tayte said,

"Can I just say, they were so secretly gay for each other when Arii and Tayte were together and in the end even she could see that" Noah said,

"I went through an incredibly tough time and Tayte and I grew closer than brothers, then he kissed me and yeah. I said we can't, because it's wrong, he was with my little sister and I just wanted her happy. But a few days later she said that the two of us should be together, because I was in a dark place and Tayte was the only one who could help me out" I said, the car was silent, "Tayte's been the only guy I've ever looked and felt the butterflies in my stomach and the beat of my heart pounding for him"

"I always said you were cute together" Noah said, Tayte kissed me,

"Well" Cassie began, "I don't know what to say"
