Make Me Beg [BL] COMPLETED

Chapter 16

Chet's POV

"What have you been doing lately?"

"Um," I took a moment to really think about it, "exercising, running, sculpting, weight lifting, school, um.. I've been hanging out with Harrison too. Sometimes we draw together."

My mom's voice was soft on the other side of the phone, "You sound busy. I hope you're getting enough sleep."

"I am." My head bobbed even if she couldn't see me. "What about you and dad?"

"I had to buy new ear plugs because of his snoring and they seem to work pretty well." I could hear her relief through the phone. "Your brother and sister are coming home to visit soon, do you think you'd be able to come too?"

My tail started wagging at the thought. I haven't seen them in a while. "Yeah~! When?"

She went on to tell me all the details and then about anything that popped into her head. Our conversation was a little everywhere and eventually she ended up asking, "What about any girlfriends? Have you found a girl you like?"

"I like boys now." Immediately after, I paused, "...and girls."

"Okay, any boyfriends or girlfriends then?"

I tilted my head silently at first. Should I tell her? I felt hesitant about revealing anything about Rylan and Kyler towards her. I don't know if she's genuinely asking or is just worried about- "Um, not really."

"No? That's okay, pup. I'm just glad that you're having fun." My smiled dimmed a bit when I heard the almost undetectable relief in her tone. "How's Kyler? Are you still training with him?"

"Yeah." I scratched at my cheek, trying to ignore the sudden displeasure I felt. "We're actually about to go running so I have to go."

"Okay, sweetheart. Be safe and have fun. I love you."

"I love you too."

I tipped my head back against the couch and mentally sulked. Why does everyone care about who I like? My sister cares too much, my brother only ever texts me when he's asking if I found a girlfriend yet, it's annoying.

"Was that your mom?" Kyler asked while fixing his hair in the hallway mirror. After tying it into a high ponytail, he turned towards me.

"Yeah, she was just checking on me."

He made a noise of understanding and came over to me. "Come on," he patted my shoulders, "let's go."

Perking up a bit, I got up as my tail started wagging. I love going on runs with him.

_____

"My lungs hurt." I told Kyler, completely out of breath from how cold it was. I was grateful our two mile run was over but I also didn't want to part with him yet.

He handed me his water bottle after taking a sip and held the door open to our apartment building. "Let's take the stairs for a cool down. You don't need to run or anything."

"'Kay." I nodded after downing most of his water.

On the way up the stairs, it was mostly silent besides our breathing. Trailing behind him like this, I got to watch him as much as I wanted.

His hair was still pulled tightly in a ponytail but he had a lot more fly aways now, caused by how windy it was. His jacket was unzipped, unlike when we started, and if he turned, I'd be able to see the sweat darkening his shirt.

Just as we were reaching our floor, he slowed down to waited for me. When I was only a step behind him, he reached out to rest his arm on my shoulder and ruffled my hair. "You did good today. It was cold as f**k but we still did a pretty good time."

My tail started wagging from the praise, unable to hide how pleased it made me, and how he kept his arm around me the entire way up.

When we were inside and the door was kicked shut, I was going to do the dishes from out breakfast earlier while Kyler showered. He usually showers first since he has work earlier than me but today, "Where you going?"

I glanced around, almost worried Lucas was somehow magically in the room with us. "Me? I was gonna do the dishes while I waited." I pointed at the small stack next to the sink as if to prove it.

"Why? Just take a shower with me." He was already taking his hair out of the ponytail so he could ruffle it out.

My mind seemed to go blank. Take a shower with Kyler.. Kyler and I in the same shower, together, naked..

"Okay." I nodded quickly.

He let out a small puff and amusement and ruffled my hair again when he walked by. I followed him blindly, uncaring about anything else but showering with him. Shower with Kyler.

When we were in the bathroom, I stood stiffly while he started undressing. "Stop staring at me and take your clothes off." He chuckled after noticing my intense gaze.

"Oh!" I startled and quickly reached for my pants. "Okay."

Once we were in the shower, we both quickly rinsed off just to get the sweat off before we actually started cleaning ourselves. "Are you ever gonna cut your hair?" I asked after noticing it got even longer when it was wet.

"I'll trim it sometimes but I like it long."

Hearing this, I toyed with a strand of my hair. "Should I grow my hair out?"

"You should do whatever you want." He dumped a mini pile of conditioner on my head and before I could rub it in, he was doing it. "You look nice no matter what you do."

He's basically petting me. "Nice?" I asked, almost as if the word were foreign. "You think so?"

"'Course." His fingers lightly scratched at my scalp as he washed my hair. It made me want to lean into his touch and when I did, he petted my soothingly. "Y'know, you're a really good kid. You're handsome, good at school, can make art out of anything, and you're really dedicated to whatever you do." His hands slid down to cup my neck. "You should have more confidence in yourself."

Confidence.

Was I unconfident?

I didn't usually care about my appearance but lately, I've caught myself trying to look better. Would Rylan like if I wore this shirt? If I do my hair like this, will Kyler like it? Will they like me if I wear this instead?

I wasn't unsure if that was because I was unconfident or just wanted to impress them.

Still, his words had a warm feeling settling in my stomach. "Thank you."

"Mhm." He pulled me towards him and just before our chests could touch, he switched our positions so he could wash the product out of my hair.

"You're handsome too." I blurted out with water dripping into my eyes and hair sticking to my forehead.

His lips twitched up, "Thank you."

"And you're really nice." I continued. "You make me food and you drive me places, and you helped me get a job, and you go on runs with me even if you don't have to, and you let me take your stuff, and you watch my dog a lot, and you-"

"I do that stuff because I want to." He interrupted me. "I go on runs with you because I like spending time with you and I let you take my stuff because I like seeing you wear it, and you got that job yourself. All I did was tell you there was an opening."

It was mostly silent after that besides the steady stream of water hitting the tile.

Kyler's said he likes me and I like him too. We kiss sometimes and we've even f****d before. Are we still just roommates?

Is this how a relationship works? Is this dating? Are we dating?

No- I would know if I was in a relationship. Right?

Before I could spiral down into another endless pit of questions, the bathroom door opened and I heard Lucas stumble. "Is that Chet or Kyler?" He asked groggily, sounding like he just woke up from a coma.

Kyler glanced at me before, "Kyler."

"Morning." He yawned loudly and lifted the toilet seat. "Dude, I've never slept that long before. Have you- Well you probably have never slept in Rylan's bed but it's uncomfortable as fuck."

"Sorry?"

"I'm just complaining." He waved off tiredly. "How was his heat? Are you guys dating yet?"

My ears perked from his question and Kyler and I both glanced at each other. "Uh..." He trailed off until it was just silent for a while. "..Ask Rylan."

"Alright, keep your secrets." Lucas didn't seem to care all that much as he stuffed his d**k back into his boxers and flushed the toilet.

While Lucas washed his hands, Kyler finished washing out his hair. "There's breakfast in the fridge for you."

"Thanks dad."

"Stop calling me dad."

"Stop acting like one."

"You're older than me." Kyler pointed out.

"You make me breakfast, do my laundry, clean the house, and make dinner."

"You're more than welcome to start helping."

"Hey~ I didn't say I wasn't grateful. I could kiss you for your efforts but Chet might get mad so you can keep any spare change you find instead." I would! I would get mad.

Kyler turned the water off. "Get out."

"Alright, here's a towel."

Kyler rolled his eyes but still grabbed the towel that Lucas was holding out. Though, he handed it to me and grabbed his own once Lucas left.

He has a cute butt.

Looking away from his ass, I watched him start to grab a few different hair products to put in his hair. He has a lot. "Um," I shifted nervously, "when Lucas asked if we're dating- Um, are we still just roommates?"

His gaze quickly found mine in the mirror. "No, we're both interested in each other. It's just," he tried finding the right words, "slower? I guess I would call it, since there's three of us. Rylan and I both like you a lot but we still don't see each other that often and the three of us don't go out altogether much."

"Oh, yeah." I mumbled, not having thought of it that way. I'm used to being the center of attention between them, I guess they still need to build their relationship.

"Poly relationships can work different ways, though. Like if you wanted Rylan and I to date you without dating each other." He explained. "But I'm interested in Rylan too so I think it's better if we all just wait to be in a relationship at once."

I wouldn't want to date them if we all didn't date each other- "Hurry up and like him." I shook his shoulders and he chuckled.

"I do, it's just different to how I like you. I've known you a lot longer and we spend most of our time together, it's harder to magically start having the same feelings for him."

"I did it."

He pulled on one of my ears, making me tilt my head away. "Go get dressed."

On my way out, "I think you guys would look very nice together, so just date~"

Kyler flipped his hair down and bent over to scrunch products in his hair. "He's intimidating, I'm not asking him."

I stopped. "Intimidating? Rylan?" He hummed softly in response. "Really? He's super nice to me, even when he was mad."

"Cause he likes you."

"He likes you too." I insisted.

"Yeah, but he mostly wants to f**k me." Before I could respond, he lifted his head back up and brushed his hair back. "It's okay, I feel the same."

"No, you have to like him. You can't just wanna f**k him."

"I wanna take him on a date and f**k him."

"Oh." I thought about it for a moment because that's how I feel. "Okay." And then I turned on my heel so I could go get dressed.

When I got to my room, Lucas was standing stiffly in the doorway. "Um.."

His head turned towards be quickly. "Your dog keeps coming in my room." Before I could respond, his eyes ran over me slowly. "...Were you in the shower with Kyler?"

"Um.."

"I don't care, I just would've said morning or something. Anyways," he moved on, "why can your dog open doors? I thought I was gonna die when my door opened and nobody was behind it."

"He's so smart~" I walked over and patted Sammy on the head. "Good boy~"

[the next day]

Kyler doesn't have work today, Rylan doesn't have work today, I don't have work today, and I'll just skip school.

Today, we're having our first date with the three of us~ My stomach felt like it was bubbling with anticipation and I couldn't stop checking my phone.

"Sit still." Lucas held my shoulders in place from behind the couch. "I promise Rylan is nothing to fawn over like this."

"Yes he is." I batted his hands away so he came around the couch and sat down.

"He's probably not gonna wake up for a few more hours. Our shift ended pretty late, almost 4am."

I chewed on my lip and checked my phone again. "He said he would wake up earlier today."

"Really?" He drawled, seeming impressed. "He must really like you, Rylan loves sleeping in."

"He does like me." I nodded firmly, causing my ears to flop down. "He likes me a lot."

From the kitchen, Kyler took his earbud out and glanced towards us. Realizing we weren't talking about him, he put it back in and went back to some movie he was watching.

"What are you guys doing for your date?"

My ears perked up and I turned to him with excitement. "Wanna see? I can show you."

Lucas thought about it for a second. "Sure, why the f**k not?"

"Come on, come on." I beckoned him to follow me towards my room where all my art supplies were. "Since I'm a sculpting major, Rylan said he wanted to try it so I got a bunch of my art supplies for us to sculpt with."

Lucas stared at everything I had laid out on my floor and slowly nodded. "That's actually.. really innocent? Like- that's a cute date. I didn't expect Rylan to do something like this." He patted my shoulder. "Good job."

My tail started whipping back and forth. "Really? You think so? He'll like it?"

He had to move to the side to avoid my tail. "Yeah, it seems fun. Let me try sometime."

I nodded quickly, always wanting to talk about art. The only person I could really talk about it with was Harrison, and I guess the girls too.. As much as Rylan and Kyler pretended to seem interested in it, they didn't know much so the conversation stopped pretty early on.

Ah, should I have picked something they would like instead?

My tail gradually stopped wagging as I thought about it. Playing a movie in the background would be easy, they both like movies a lot. Probably Kyler more than Rylan..

What does Rylan like? I don't have any nail polish. Should I tell him to bring nail polish? I don't think Kyler would wanna paint his nails- but maybe he would.

"What does Rylan like?"

"What he likes?" Lucas asked. "Um, he likes food a lot. He's not very good at exercising so don't try that with him." Mentally, I had to cross out any plans to invite him to the gym. "He watches youtube a lot, like beauty channels. Um.." He squinted at nothing as he thought. "I don't really f*****g know, man."

"It's okay." I'll just have to ask him myself.

"I think he likes reading?" He guessed. "I've only ever seen him read fan fiction though and there's a forty percent chance it was a joke."

Reading, he likes reading. I nodded for him to keep guessing. "Oh! He likes to play animal crossing. He bought a switch just for it."

"Animal crossing." I mumbled in thought. Should I buy a switch so we can play together?

Later on, when it was nearing 11 o'clock and Rylan still hadn't texted me back, I draped myself over Kyler's back sadly. Muffled into hair, "Would you paint your nails?"

"My nails? I wouldn't mind." He's so cool.

Slowly, I got off his back and sat next to him on the kitchen barstool. "What do you like besides movies?"

"I like you."

My mouth opened before promptly closing. A flush slowly crept up my neck until it tickled my ears pink. "Well- thank you." I quickly rushed out. "But what else?"

He thought about it for a moment. "Working out."

I perked up in my seat. "Me too!"

He chuckled at my enthusiasm. "You're pretty restless, huh? Are you that excited?"

"Yes, it's the first time we're all gonna see each other since saying we like each other. I wanna make him like us more." As I said this, I couldn't help but check my phone again. "But he won't text me back."

"No? Maybe he's still sleeping."

"Has he texted you?" I asked.

"Not since yesterday."

"What if he's ignoring me and doesn't wanna go on a date anymore?"

"Then we can just go on a date without him." He said like it was the simplest solution.

"I'm being serious~" I whined softly.

"Why wouldn't he wanna go out with you?" Kyler reached over, grabbed my head, and shook. "You're getting too worked up, everything's gonna be fine. He's gonna text you back, then he'll come over, and we'll have a good time, alright? Stop stressing."

I mumbled a small 'okay' just so he would let go. After he did, he got up and went to set his bowl of oatmeal in the sink.

"I'm gonna go change."

"Okay."

On his way out, he dipped down and pressed a kiss to my lips that completely surprised me. "Try not to think about it too much." He squeezed my chin and went to back up.

Before he could step away completely, I caught his shirt as I felt my ears heat even more. "..Can I have another?"
