totally unexpected

@Exalei


I'm so excited. I am freaking out. Karson  invited me on a road trip! Yeah, that Karson. The beautiful, popular, funny guy who I... may or may not have a massive crush on. We aren't good friends or anything so I'm not sure why he invited me. Wait. What if he likes me too!?


No, that can't be it. Why would he want to go out with me? I'm not hot and popular like him. I'm just Liam. The emo kid who can't even talk to a guy. I'm pretty sure he's straight anyway.


Oh well. I'm going to have so much fun. Oh my God, he just knocked on the door. I pull down my Bring Me The Horizon shirt and swipe my breakfast's crumbs off my black holey skinny jeans before opening the door.


He smiles. "Hey, Li!" He gave me a nickname oh my God.


"H-hey Karson," I stutter nervously. He either doesn't notice, or pretends he doesn't. He's wearing a jersey of some sort (I don't do sports) and light blue jeans with combat boots.


"Ready to go? I got you a soda." He holds the large drink out to me and I take a sip. Dr. Pepper, my favorite.


"H-how'd you know I l-like Dr. Pepper?"


Karson laughs. "You bring it to school every day for lunch." He watches me at lunch??


"Let's go!" he says, grinning to show me all of his beautiful straight teeth. I smile and follow him to his bright red convertible. There, another boy sits in the back seat. "Li, meet Nick. Nick, this is Liam."


I awkwardly wave. Nick is his best friend at school. Why isn't he sitting in front? "Well, get in," Karson laughs, gesturing at the passenger seat. I smile and excitedly hop in the car. Karson jumps right over the door into the driver's seat.


"Wh-where are we going again?" I shift in my seat.


"To Six Flaggs," Nick answers.


"That's three hours away."


"Yup!" says Karson. I shrug. If he wants me to, I'll go anywhere. It's summer break, after all.


~^~^~^~^~


It's been an hour, and I've gotten to know both Karson and Nick a lot better. We're taking turns choosing songs on YouTube on Karson's phone and singing along. He's a great singer.


That Dr. Pepper is really starting to go through me too. There's two more hours... I think I can make it. I can't embarrass myself in front of Karson by asking him to pull over because I can't hold it.


"Somethin' wrong, Liam?"


I snap out of my thoughts. "What? No, I'm good," I laugh awkwardly.


"Alright," Karson shrugs. You just seemed a little out of it."


"Oh." I cross my legs at the ankles and look out the window, then back at Karson. He's not paying attention to me at the moment. I lean forward and shift around a bit more.


A pang in my bladder makes me grimace. "Li?" Karson's voice.


"Y-yeah?"


"You okay? You looked in pain."


"I... I'm okay." I squeeze my legs together.


Nick chimes in with, "You don't look okay, bro." He called me bro! Does this mean I'm officially their friend?


"I..."


"Are you nervous?"


"W-well sorta. I've never gone to Six Flaggs before." I smile to cover up my embarrassment. Karson smiles and goes back to driving. I try not to hold myself with my hands.


~^~^~^~^~


It's been another hour, and I think I might explode. But I still can't bring myself to ask Karson to stop.


"Can we stop soon?" Nick's voice comes from the back seat. "I need a drink and a smoke." That's my chance! I'll just go to the bathroom when they get drinks! I wince at the thought of liquid. It actually hurts. I resist squirming with all my strength.


"The next exit's only like ten minutes away, we can get drinks and gas there."


Ten minutes. Only ten minutes. To my stretched bladder, that sounds like forever. Karson's not looking at me. I wiggle my butt around on the seat, lean forward and back, clench my fists. Ten minutes. Then I can go.


"Liam?" It was Nick this time. "Are you alright?"


I smile, hoping it doesn't look too forced. "Uh, yeah, yeah I-I'm fine." Perfectly fine, other than being about to piss all over this seat! He doesn't seem convinced, but says no more.


A few minutes pass. I involuntarily moan from the pressure. Karson pulls over. "Liam, what aren't you telling us?" Shit. He knows.


"Uhhh, Idon'tknowwhatyou'retalkingabout." Nice, Liam. That totally didn't sound suspicious.


Karson looks at my hands, repeatedly clenching into fists, then at my thighs, pushed together as tightly as possible. Finally he looks at my face, no doubt contorted in pain. His eyes widen, and he puts the car in drive. I wimper from the sudden movement. "We'll be at the gas station in like, a few minutes. You can hold on 'til then, right?"


I simply shrug and look out the window, hoping to conceal how absolutely mortified I feel. Now that they already know, there's no use in pretending. I shove a hand between my legs, gasping at the sudden slight relief. Looking over at Karson, I see him actually wince in sympathy.


Finally, we arrive at the gas station. I only grip myself tighter. Nick, seeing I'm making no move to get out of the car, asks what's wrong.


"I, uh, I don't th-think I can m-move..."


"Oh... uh... Karson?" Karson takes one look at me before acting. He opens the door and helps me up. The moment I'm standing, I lose all control.


"No, no, noooo, shit!" I exclaim as the liquid pours out of me, soaking my favorite jeans in front of my crush.


"Hey... It's alright..." Karson says, laying a hand on my shoulder.


"It's not alright!" I yell, "I fucking pissed myself in the parking lot of a gas station, in front of-" I pause and continue more softly, "in front of you."


Karson pulls me into a hug, whispering in my ear. "Li... I like you. Something like this isn't going to change that." He pulls away and smiles, blushing.


"Y-you like me?"


"Yeah... I've... kinda had a crush on you since freshman year."


Stunned, I say, "I like you too."


Karson takes a deep breath. "Liam, will you go out with me?"


Oh my God yes! Yes! "Yeah."


Nick groans. "Is this super romantic, totally unexpected moment over yet? 'Cause I'm thirsty," he says, rolling his eyes as he steps on his cigarette butt. Karson and I laugh.


"Here," Karson says, "I have some clothes in the trunk you can borrow." The jeans were a little too big, but he had a belt.


We got drinks and had the best time at Six Flaggs. Karson even held me close on all the scary rides.


Sorry for the lame ending, I didn't know what to do XD. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed.
