Sighing, Tyler returned his gaze to Nick, who just raised his eyebrows expectantly Sometimes Tyler hated hoell Nick knew hi sucked to be such an open book to Nick It had always annoyed Tyler back when they were in secondary school together—Nick had never bought his bullshit when Tyler boasted about his conquests Nick had always just huly as a little

It was annoying that he still couldn’t lie to Nick for shit, even after all these years It wasn’t like they lived in each other’s pockets nowadays They didn’t go to the same school anymore: Nick was in law school while Tyler hadn’t bothered with uni after sixth for to work at his family’s pub instead They had different friends these days, different interests and everything

But fuck it Nick Hardaas still his best friend They were bros for life; Tyler knew that They hadn’t lost contact even in the year Tyler had lived with his grandparents in LA When he’d returned to London, their friendship was as solid as ever Tyler had been the first person Nick had come out to, the person Nick had trusted the s—they weren’t little girls—but they both knew they had each other’s back, no matter what

Which hy Tyler was considering sharing his…problem with Nick

Licking his lips, Tyler stared at his best friend uncertainly

Nick stared back, his gray eyes expectant

“Reo?” Tyler said

Nick took a slow sip fro like curiosity in his eyes now Nick knew Tyler didn’t get worked up over his hookups Tyler hooked up a lot; it was easy, fun, and uncomplicated, which was basically his life motto

“The one as groping your prick on the dance floor?” Nick said

“Yeah,” Tyler said, leaning back in his seat with a smirk

Nick snorted “Drop that stupid ser one than you normally are”

“The girls that go horee with you, and sorry, their opinion is the one that counts”

Nick laughed “It’s fucking adorable that you really think they fuck you because of your stupid senes That’s the only reason you get laid Though, personally, I don’t see the appeal”

Tyler rolled his eyes Privately, he always thought Nick overdid it a little with the whole…not finding hi, really He wasn’t some kind of homophobic prick Nick should have known better by now He wasn’t going to run away screa

Like, Tyler was perfectly aware he was a little conceited, but it was for a reason, okay? It wasn’t his fault that wo dude, objectively He had nice, dark blond hair and blue eyes Chicks were crazy about his eyes—which, truth be told, Tyler didn’t get, but whatever
