I Should Tell You.. bxb

"I sure hope you're not clumsy with the set or lights.That wouldn't end well." He said back to him not really sure what to say in this whole sitatuation. Nico had backed up a few steps so that they weren't so close that it would begin to get uncomfortable. When Lisa was making her exit he raised an eyebrow in confusion at her mention of them being hopeless. Glancing at Alexander he asked, "What does she mean?" Clearly obvious to the fact that the other liked him or that Lisa was trying to get them together. He really didn't see it happening or even that any guy would like him due to his situation.

Nico gave a little chuckle at his rambling finding it nice that he was having just as hard as time as he was himself with all of this. "It's all good. Don't worry, I'm not offended." He tried telling him reasuuringly as Alexander rambled on. As he listened he took a drink from the cup he had been holding glancing around not to sure what else to say to him. "Alright.. hopefully she doesn't get to wasted and does something." He commented putting his gaze back on the other for a few moments. There was more people coming in the room and he felt as if they were in the way of everyone, "Hey? Do you want to like move into a different room ro something?" Waving his hand about motioning to the people that were in the room. It was beginning to get crowded and claustraphobic. Nico really wasn't to big of a fan with this. He wasn't trying to be rude or try to get them alone in a room it was just he was beggining to get uncomfortable and a bit anxious. Someone had turned up the music and now it seemed like it was blaring to the boy and people kept nudging him or saying little passing Hellos that were nice but it was a bit much.

Nico glanced around before he moved them or really responded. Trying to see an opening and also trying to see Katrina to motion that they were going to go in one of the rooms upstairs but he had no luck with locating her so it didn't matter to much. "Alright man c'mon." He told him as he began to walk forward and up the stairs once they got to them.

Thankfully as they went upstairs there wasn't as many people and the sound of the music was dulled throughout the walls of the house. There were multiple rooms in this hall being Katrina's room, her parents room and then one other that was a guest room. There was also a bathroom but it looked to be occupied and Nico wasn't about to just pull Alexander into the bathroom to talk. This wasn't a hookup and he wasn't wanting it to be one. But he was sure that either someone was using the bathroom or someone was in fact booking up in the room. Heck there was probably someone hooking up in all of the rooms and he wasn't sure if he should risk opening a door or looking into one with a slightly open door. As time passed and he tried looking around he got a pang in his side as his binder reminded him it was there. He muttered something under his breath in disappointment, this wasn't a good time for his ribs to be hurting and the only way to fix it was with taking his binder off but if Alexander was with him then he would find out. Nico wasn't sure if he knew Alexander well enough for him to know the secret. "Hey man," He started turning around to face him as they stood in the middle of the hall across from Katrina's room, the door was slightly ajar but still. "Do you want to risk going into a room to talk? Someone might be hookin up but I don't think Kat would mind if we went in here.." he told the other. There was a small amount of pain setting in on his face but he pushed it back not wanting to talk about it. He just had to keep breathing and everything will be okay.

Nico froze for a second when the question was asked he tried standing up a little bit straighter and went to brush it off as nothing, "yeah yeah of course. Just practiced a lot at rehearsal yknow?" He told the other as if that could be a reason for his sudden pang in his side. Which it probably was but not entirely. He knew he had been pushing it lately and he just kept doing more and more without regard to his body being in pain or what he could be doing to it. To everyone but Katrina, his parents and one other friend he was a cisgender guy that loved theater. He was stealth about his transness and he wanted to keep it that way even if it risked his health. He didn't want people seeing him as that kid. "Let's just go in there, Kat knows I do this at parties." He said quickly pushing open the door carefully. Thankfully no one was in here at the moment except the two of them.

It was a normal sized bedroom with pale purple walls decorated in photos, posters and other bits and pieces. There was a small closet to the left of the door in which Katrina had stuff majority of her things in and shut the door as fast as possible. No one would ever go in it unless they had a death wish. Her bed was on the other side of the room under a window with grey curtains, small little objects sat on the window sill and around her bed was some clothes that she had gotten to clean up but didn't take much away from the fairly put together room. There was some more furniture there as well such as a desk with a laptop and a few chairs for when friends were over. Overall it was a nice room. Her family was pretty well off to begin with so it was sort of excepted.

"Well I guess I'm not giving you a tour of Kat's house but this is her room." He said as they stepped in the room waving a hand at the stuff in here but keeping one holding onto his left side to try and stop any pain from happening.

Nico almost frantically shook his head in a no, "Nonono it's cool I'm chill. Nothin is hurt. No blood, see?" He held up both his hands to show that if there had been blood it wasn't there and it could also be seen that nothing was on his sides either since there was nothing but his shirt covering them. He was starting to realize that this was probably the final straw and he could get really hurt by this but he also wasn't about to strip in front of Alexander. That that would be crazy if he were to do that. While still keeping an eye on the other boy who just looked plain worried for him, he sat down on this friends bed. He knew that was was allowed to and that Katrina understood his situation so this was a normal party activity of his but he never brought some one else up there with him.

He stayed silent for a few moments, looking down at his knees trying to control his breathing and trying to take deep breathes. Once he found he was doing a good job at breathing and keeping his pain at bay he glanced up at Alexander. "This happens from time to time. I'm sorry to worry you. It wasn't my intention."

"Really Alexander, it's okay. I'm fine it's nothing to worry about," He told the other reassuringly putting a small smile on his face. "I'm not going to die. I promise." Wishing that this all could just stop right now. It was amazing that this guy he barely knew cared so much but Nico himself wasn't ready to out himself for the very same reason. It could go horribly wrong, completely ruin him and everything he has done thus far. He was a bit uncomfortable with him so close but it was more so his worrying getting to him then anything else.

"Well I mean you really don't have to. It's okay just let me text Kat something." He hastily told Alexander as he got out his phone not daring to really look at the other what so ever. He was beginning to get embarrassed and was starting to realize his stubbornness wasn't going to get him anywhere but if he took off his binder and left this room then everyone would know and there were drunk guys here. It wasn't like he had planned on his and brought extra clothes in case of an emergency. So he sat there texting his friend;

'Kat I have a situation'

'I'm in your room with a boy and my I cant breathe because of my binder'

'I don't know what to do,'

After a few moments he finally got a response that was only somewhat readable.

'0nit bestieee, bee up ther knfew monkeys.'

'minuts*'

'Minutes**'

A sigh of relief washed over Nico as he knew that his friend would be up here soon. She was drunk but still able to text so she would be able to help him to some extent which was good.

"Yeah it's okay. Katrina is gonna help me out with it. I know you wanted to but its something I'm not comfortable with everyone knowing about and news travels fast cauuse yknow drunk high school kids?" Nico explained in short as he laid down on the bed trying to stretch out his back and ease the pressure hat was being applied to his ribs at the moment. Feet on the floor and arms above his head just relaxing for a few minutes until Katrina got to the room.

And there she was She had walking into the room without much warning at all, cup in hand and her thick black hair a mess, it was clear she was wastes and in much less clothing from the beginning of the party now baring a tank top and shorts instead of the light sweater and jeans. Which explains the fact there was some clothing on the floor around her bed. Nico had shot up when she came in but relaxed when he realized ot was her. "Hey kat, having fun?"

"Oh yeaaaahh! Loads. Now let me get you something so you can get that binder off and you can get back to having funnn Nicky babe" She slurred as she dug through her dressed not having realized that Alexander was in here also and that Nico was looking mortified after she finished her sentance. He was muttering something under his breath and looking down at his knees as now there was no way in hell that Alexander didn't hear what Katrina had said.

Nico shouted out at kat telling her to shut up, getting up and grabbing whatever she was going to give him. Facing Alexander with a shocked and red face. "No! Nononono! I am not a girl. Do I look like one to you? Nonono this is a big misunderstanding, I'm Im im not a girl." He was stuttering and almost yelling at Alexander. Not mad at him but more upset at the situation and how this all went down. He was screwed and he knew it and everything was going to come crashing down around him. He was attacking like an animal caught in the headlights. Not sure if he should run or fight but he didn't need to actually fight but he knew that it was out and there wasn't anything he could do.
