nanowrenletJustin's renewed Brian-obsession was distracting, but it didn't keep him from noticing there was still something going on with Eric and Knox. Or rather, that Eric was obviously crushing on Knox, and -hard-. After a third straight dinner shift spent watching Eric blush whenever Knox offered to light his cigarette, Justin decided it was time to bring it up.
They were naked, of course, sharing a cigarette because they'd smoked the last of Knox's stash two days ago and he wouldn't have more 'till the weekend.
"So. What's up with Eric?"
"Hmm? Up, how?"
Justin snickered, and bumped Knox's side with his knee. "Oh, come on. You can't expect me to believe that you knew he was gay, but that you don't see he's got an -enormous- crush on you."
Knox sighed quietly, and laid his arm across his forehead. "Well... yeah. I've noticed."
"Aaannnd?" Justin wasn't used to Knox being evasive. There was definitely something going on.
"He's a sweet kid." Knox sort of shrugged. "He is still... kind of a kid, though, you know?"
Justin did know, hell, he was the same age as Eric. Only 'Sean' wasn't, so he kept that to himself. "Yeah, well. Age isn't everything. You like him?"
Knox didn't answer. Justin turned his head, and found Knox just staring up at the ceiling. This was... kinda weird. And called for more direct measures.
Justin sat up, suddenly, and shifted around until he could straddle Knox's chest. Knox oofed a little, and caught Justin's thighs with his hands. "What?"
"I asked you a question," Justin smiled, just a bit. "Do you like Eric?"
"Hmmm." Knox's mouth twitched, and one hand slid up Justin's thigh towards his crotch. "I like -you-...."
Justin laughed and pushed Knox's hand away from his cock. "Uh-uh, no distracting me with sex. Just answer me."
Knox chewed his lip a little before he answered. "Yeah, I like him."
Justin walked his fingers up Knox's chest. "You think he's cute?"
That earned him a grin. "I know he's cute." Knox opened his mouth and tilted his head up, asking for a drag. Justin let him puff off the cigarette.
"And... you know he's probably a virgin, right?"
"Yeah, I kinda guessed that part."
"So," Justin thought of his own first time, and how relentlessly he'd stalked Brian afterwards, despite everything and everyone who'd warned him against it. "I'm just thinking out loud here, but if you guys do anything, he might tend to get a little... attached."
Knox's eyes slid away from Justin, and he turned his head to look out the window. "Would that be so bad?"
Wow, this was serious, more serious than Justin had realized. He leaned in a little, carded his fingers through Knox's hair and let his thumb rub along his lover's temple. "Maybe not. But if you're both at the restaurant, having to work together all the time? It could be, yeah."
Knox let out a slow breath, and his eyes slid shut. "I like him a lot, Sean. I want him."
Justin thought about that, while he let his fingers roam over Knox's scalp. "School starts up in... about two weeks, right? Think you'll still want him by then?"
Knox chuckled, "Uh, yeah."
"So... wait it out. Then if things don't work out between you, well, you're not stuck working all your shifts together and... he can go throw himself into his schoolwork or some shit."
Knox sighed heavily, and then turned to smile faintly up at Justin. "You're so smart. What would I do without you around?"
"Hmm, who knows." Justin smiled and leaned down to kiss him softly. "Probably fuck up a lot."
Knox laughed a little. "Probably." He lifted his arms and wrapped them around Justin's back, and Justin fumbled the cigarette into the ashtray on Knox's headboard as Knox pulled him into a kiss. "Mmmm... you okay with this?"
"Why-" They kissed again, and rolled and Knox's body was warm and solid between Justin's thighs. "Why wouldn't I be?"
Knox actually stopped, pulled his mouth away from Justin's neck and just looked up at him like it was the silliest question he'd ever heard. Justin giggled and cupped Knox's jaw with the palm of his hand. "We'll still be friends, right?"
"Yeah. 'Course we will." Knox's face was like an open book, so honest and easy and Justin could tell he'd actually been worried about this, maybe this was even why he'd been all indecisive about Eric.
Justin smiled and drew Knox's face closer. "Then I'm okay."
