Let's be More Than..This.
Vic Fuentes x Kellin Quinn highschool AU (inokverse kinda?)
Kellin sat up in bed, sighing. he looked to the empty space beside him. oh, how he wished that space could be filled someday, preferably by Vic. Kellin climbed out of bed and headed to his bathroom, where he did his hair and brushed his teeth. his mind was full of thoughts, mostly about Vic. theyd been friends forever, but hed also been Kellin's crush for years too. he just couldnt help but admire Vic. he was attractive, funny, talented--seriously, he had a killer singing voice and he could play guitar. he said Kellin had a pretty good voice too, but Kellin doubted it at times.
Kellin grabbed his bag and headed out the door. he walked down his bus stop, just down the street from his house. school was so tiring. he was glad this was his senior year. soon, hed be free from his days at Clairmont High. the bus came to a stop in front of him, and he reluctantly climbed aboard.
meanwhile, Vic was driving himself to school, listening to his band's album that they were working on. he thought about his friends--Jaime, Tony, Warren, Illi, Kellin--especially Kellin. he couldnt help that he thought about the guy so much. Kellin was cute, funny, talented, pretty much everything Vic wasnt. but most importantly, Kellin made Vic happy.
Vic had been depressed since before high school started, and hed been struggling with self harm for just as long. his friends were the only things keeping him from killing himself. Kellin's happiness often rubbed off on Vic, keeping him from being edgy at school. Vic took a deep breath. tomorrow was the start of Spring Break. hed been planning to tell Kellin about his self harm today for the past two weeks. today was the day, and now he had to do it. hopefully Kellin wont freak out.
Vic arrived at the school. he got out of his car and waited outside the entrance for his friends. Illi and her younger brother, Mikey, climbed out of her car. Illi waved to Vic, walking up to him. Illi was the only one who knew about his mental issues, because she had some herself. together, they walked into the school and headed for the cafeteria. once they reached their usual table, they saw Kellin and Tony already there, talking about music.
Vic sat next to Kellin, giving him a warm smile. Kellin's blue eyes lit up when he saw Vic, just like they always do. Illi sat next to an open seat so Mikey could sit next to her. Vic turned to Kellin. "hey, Kells, can you meet me after school? maybe at your house?" Vic asked. Kellin shook his head. "not at my house. my mom doesnt let me bring people over," he explained, "we can go to your house though." Vic sighed. his house was a mess. "alright," he replied. "why, if you dont mind telling me?" Kellin asked. "oh, its just...something ive been meaning to tell you. nothin' important, really," Vic said.
the bell rung, and the friends parted ways. Vic and Tony walked to their first class together as always, while Illi, Kellin, and Mikey went seperate ways. Vic watched Pete, a friend of Mikey's, run up to Mikey and immediately start talking about nothing. Vic smiled. those two would make such a cute couple, he thought. he could almost imagine them under the sunset together...or himself and Kellin together like that. Vic cast one last look at Kellin before hurrying to his class.
the final period bell rung, and Kellin practically jumped out of his seat and quickly walked out the classroom. he couldnt stop thinking about what Vic had to say. Kellin wondered what it could be. what if Vic confessed that he had always liked Kellin? or what if Vic knew that Kellin liked him and didnt like him back? what if? what if? what if?
Kellin shook his head to clear his thoughts. he had to hope Vic didnt tell him anything bad. Kellin waited outside the school for Vic. he assumed Vic was taking him to his house, judging by how Kellin's car had broke down. (which wasnt his fault, by the way. it was Warren's.) Vic walked past Kellin, heading to his car and gesturing for Kellin to follow.
Kellin climbed in on the passenger side, smiling at Vic. Vic smiled back, like always. Kellin wanted to believe he made Vic happy. he always smiled around Kellin, and just seemed overall happier around him. on the drive to Vic's house, they listened to Vic's band's album. the album was called A Flair For The Dramatic. "your singing sounds good," Kellin said. Vic smiled. "thanks."
while Kellin was just happy to be alone with Vic, Vic was worried about how Kellin would respond to what he was going to tell him. what if he freaked out? or called the police? or thought Vic was weird? what if? what if? what if? Vic took a deep breath to clear his thoughts. Kellin was an understanding guy, and theyd been friends for a while. surely this wouldnt ruin that, right?
when they arrived, the two friends climbed out of the car and headed inside. Vic immediately led Kellin to his bedroom so they could be alone. "sorry if my room's a mess," Vic muttered. his room was a bit dirty, with clothes on his floor and a few empty bottles. otherwise his room was in pretty good condition, with band posters and pictures of his friends all over the walls.
Vic sat on his bed, patting the spot next to him. Kellin sat next to Vic, blushing slightly. Vic noticed, but he decided not to point it out. "so," Kellin said, "what did you want to tell me?" Vic was quiet for a moment. he didnt know how to word this. "I...," he began. he sighed, before taking a deep breath.
"ive been dealing with depression for a while now. i never told you guys because i was scared of what youd think of me," Vic explained. Kellin was about to speak, but Vic cut him off. "thats not all, though. i also...," he said, trailing off. he took another deep breath. "i also cut myself."
Kellin was quiet for a while. after a minute or so, he spoke. "can...can i see?" he asked. Vic nodded, rolling up his hoodie sleeve. all along his forearm were little dark red scars. Kellin reached out, gently running his fingers down Vic's arm. "i...i dont think any different of you because of this Vic. well, im a little worried about you, but otherwise? youre the same guy to me," Kellin replied. he trailed his fingers down Vic's arm one last time, before intertwining his fingers with Vic's.
Vic smiled. "thank you, Kells," he said. he leaned in, resting his forehead against Kellin's. "can i confess something as well?" Kellin asked. "sure," Vic responded. Kellin's fingers tightened around Vic's. "i think...i think i love you," Kellin admitted, his face red. Vic thought for a moment, processing the admission. finally, he said, "i love you too."
Kellin jerked back, looking caught off guard. "really? you..you really mean that?" he asked, stumbling over his words. Vic nodded, laughing softly. "ive always loved you, Kells. you make me so happy," he admitted. Kellin blinked in surprise. Vic shifted closer, his face inches from Kellin's. "id be even happier if you could be my boyfriend," he said, his voice dropping to a whisper.
Kellin blushed hard, looking anywhere but Vic's face. "i- uh- yes, please?" Kellin stammered. Vic laughed. he smiled, his dark eyes locking onto Kellin's blue ones. he leaned in, his lips pressing against Kellin's. the kiss was short, but sweet, and everything Kellin had ever wished for. when they both pulled back, Kellin was beaming. he immediately wrapped his arms around Vic, burying his face in Vic's shoulder. Vic reciprocated, wrapping his arms around Kellin.
"so...we're, like, boyfriends now, right?" Kellin asked awkwardly. "yeah, i think so," Vic responded. "yay," Kellin murmured. Vic smiled, before planting a kiss on Kellin's cheek. Vic finally had something to keep him going. maybe Kellin could even convince him to stop cutting. he smiled, hugging his new boyfriend tighter. ill never leave you, he thought to himself, never.
