Chapter Text
The sun’s rather bright out today, doesn’t Kel normally say that means that today’s gonna be a good day or something like that, Basil thinks to himself. The blonde haired boy has found himself spending a lot of time laying on the grass near the lake looking at the sky. He enjoys the calmness of the water and the ability to just think without interruption.
It’s been a few years since Sunny moved out of Faraway. That also means that it’s been a few years since Sunny told everyone the truth. The terrifying secret that Basil thought he would take to the grave, no matter how it may affect him, became known by the people he cared most about.
And surprisingly, that revelation did not completely end Basil’s life as he had feared. If anything, his life has been pretty good all things considered. It definitely wasn’t all smooth sailing, Hero is still rather distant towards Basil and Sunny, but Kel does insist that his brother has forgiven them despite not being able to show it well. It took Aubrey about a month to truly rationalize the information as well, while Kel handled the information with the nonchalance one would expect from him.
After the dust settled however, Basil’s life seemingly returned to a state of “normal,” or at least as close to what Basil considered “normal” may look like for someone like him.
Basil’s gotten a part time job at a small florist shop in town, and has made decent strides in therapy to reduce the overwhelming anxiety he once had. Polly is still around to help out, even if she has been preoccupied with nursing school. Basil even talks to Sunny regularly on the phone though he wishes that he could see him in person more than once or twice a year. The small crush that he’s had on Sunny since childhood has yet to wither away after all this time but he has mostly given up on ever pursuing it.
Currently Basil is spending this session of “lake-thinking” to try to fully process something that he probably shouldn’t have seen. The outcome that nobody expected when the truth was revealed was that Aubrey and Kel have become really close since everything has gone down, like really close…
Sure a lot of dynamics have shifted since that day, the hooligans have started to become more integrated into the group dynamic as Aubrey has begun to merge her two friend groups. Sunny somehow made a bunch of friends in the first three days he spent outside after four years which has only further complicated the web of friendship dynamics around Basil. But even with all that, Basil did not ever expect Aubrey and Kel to be spending as much time as they are together. Everybody has suspected that the two of them were dating, apparently Aubrey confided a lot in Kel in the month after the truth was revealed, but nobody has been able to get any significant proof that they were dating.
That was until two days ago when Basil went to have his usual “thinking time” at the lake when he caught the two of them fucking. Like actually fucking. It took him a minute to even process what was even going on, and honestly he still doesn’t believe what he saw. Two of his best friends in the entire world being completely intimate with each other and out in the open where he could accidentally stumble upon it.
Whatever facade of innocence that Basil pretended that he had has been fully erased now, as he can’t get the image out of his head and he can’t tell anybody what he even saw, would they think that he’s a creep for watching longer than he should? It wasn’t that long, it was just shock right? Basil’s mind begins to panic as he replays the incident in his mind as he attempts to rationalize what he saw. When all of a sudden–
“Hey Flower Boy”
Shit… Basil thinks.
He was too lost in thought that he failed to recognize that someone walked up to him. He looks up to see who’s here and is surprised to see… Kim?
“Uh hey Kim… what’s uh brought you here” Basil says awkwardly. He didn’t expect to see her here, especially not now of all times. The two have gotten along well recently, especially considering the amount of mental torment she used to put him through. He normally wouldn’t be bothered by her presence, it’s just that currently his dumb panicking has left him a little hot and bothered…
“Oh I just was walking around, the gang wanted to go watch some dumb movie or something so I decided to ditch them and I guess I happened to run into you, what are you doing here?” Kim responds
“Well, I like to come here and think I guess. It’s a nice quiet and secluded place, sometimes It’s just nice to be alone for once…” Basil says, adjusting his posture to attempt to hide any lingering physical effects of his prior thinking
“Oh shit sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt, I can leave if you want”
“No, No, It’s okay” Basil says, “ I don’t mind, I like spending time with you”
“Oh really, is that so?” Kim replies as she sits down next to him. Basil’s anxiety spiking as she positions herself right next to him shoulder to shoulder.
“Uh yeah! You’re like my friend, of course I like hanging out with you!”
“Hmmm sure… I guess I can accept that as the reason” Kim begins to form a smirk as her gaze trails down from Basil’s face to lower on his body, “ though you sure do look pretty excited to see me Flower Boy”
“Uh! I! Uh!” Basil stutters while turning beet red as he attempts to cover himself with his arms “It’s not what it looks like I swear!”
“Aww really, I'm a little disappointed then. I would have taken it as a compliment, you know” Kim says. She subtly plays with her hair while saying this, what was once a small smirk is now a knowing grin.
Basil is completely taken aback by this, sure she has always enjoyed teasing him, especially back when it came with a bit of malice towards him when they were in highschool. But her teasing has never gone this direction before.
“I…I’m sorry, you just caught me off guard” Basil finally musters.
Kim lightly jabs the flustered boy with her shoulder, “Hey man, I’m just messing with you. You can chill it’s alright.”
“Oh uh, okay, if you say so” Basil says, looking off into the distance trying to process what exactly just occurred.
A moment of silence occurs between the two of them, Kim being the one to finally break it.
“No seriously Basil, are you okay? Did I take it too far?”
Basil is not okay. What started as trying to rationalize an act that he shouldn’t have seen has now transformed into something much more. Basil hasn’t really had any romantic or sexual feelings for anybody, except for Sunny of course but that was so long ago that he’s never had to acknowledge it in any way deeper than a pure innocent childhood crush. Sure Basil knew he was into men, that was easy to figure out, but he’s never really considered if he likes girls that way. Until now that is.
“Uh yeah no I’m okay, just trying to figure out what exactly happened there” Basil says, attempting to seem earnest with his response.
“What do you mean?”
“Well…I think I realized that I guess I do like girls…” he responds, awkwardly scratching the hair on the back of his head just like a character in the sort of anime that Sunny used to watch.
“So I should have taken it as a compliment!” Kim says, beaming, “wait seriously, me teasing you then was your bi awakening?”
“Apparently so?”
“Huh, cool…wait does that mean you like me?”
“I don’t know! Everything’s been confusing recently” Basil begins to ramble, “First I catch Aubrey and Kel doing it, then I try to process what I accidentally saw, then you show up and surprise me, and you see me all hard cause I’m thinking about that. Then you begin to tease me about it and apparently I like that somehow! Now I'm here, rambling to you about the most embarrassing moment of my life as you probably think I’m insane because who honestly is this clueless?”
Kim listens to Basil’s exasperated ranting quietly, letting him speak freely. The bit about Aubrey and Kel was a surprise, she also had a hunch but she decides that interrogating her best friend can wait, Basil is more important right now. She waits until he finishes to quietly say under her breath, “God, you are kinda cute…”
“Wait, what did you say there?”
“I called you cute Flower Boy, what did you think I said”
Basil’s face returns to being beet red, the lower parts of him that were calmed down have now reset to their awakened state. “I–I didn’t realize you thought that”
“Yeah c’mon, you're kinda pathetic but it’s adorable I promise” Kim says, returning to the teasing tone and smirk that got the two into this situation.
Basil looks at the brunette girl currently sitting beside him, for some reason her teasing him like that again awoke something in him yet again. This time it was courage.
Basil closes his eyes as he leans over to Kim, quickly putting his lips against hers as he begins to kiss her.
Kim is shocked, she almost believed that despite her being direct in her intentions he wouldn’t have had the balls to actually make a move. She’s happy to be wrong however, as she cups the side of his face and reciprocates the kiss.
Every cliche that Basil has read about this sorta thing felt true in that moment, what was a short action felt like forever, every second their lips met felt like an eternity in a way that he didn’t expect. He’s actually kissing somebody, and she’s kissing back!
The two’s mouths begin to part, Basil beginning to softly pant as his body begins to catch up with his accelerated heartbeat. He opens his eyes and looks at Kim infront of her, that stupid smirk still on her face, but this time it carries with it a sense of smug pride.
“Wow pretty boy, didn’t think you had it in you,” Kim says.
“Heh, yeah, I guess I did,” Basil responds.
“Now is that gonna be a little one time thing or are you gonna kiss me again?” Kim says, clearly trying to get another reaction through her teasing.
Basil accepts her bait happily, pushing the girl onto her back, positioning himself on top of her as he again begins to meet her lips. Kim wraps her arms around his back tightly as her mouth opens a little, their breath beginning to combine as she gently begins to explore his mouth with her tongue.
The two continue like this, exploring each other while making out. Neither of them expected this conversation to end up like this but they were both very pleased with the result. Kim begins to think, she has an idea of how to get the cute boy to get even more flustered with her.
Basil is the first to pull away, looking down at her and simply muttering a quiet “fuck…”
“Mmm– You liked that didn’t you Basil” Kim teases
“Yeah…god I kinda understand Kel and Aubrey’s whole thing more now”
“You know, from what you were saying those two seemed to be doing more than just kissing”
“oh…I mean…” Basil begins to stutter, whatever confidence he has shown has been lost with the introduction of what Kim is now implying. He sheepishly rolls off the top of her, with the loss of his confidence he returns to being a flustered mess and their prior position was certainly not helping.
Kim quickly licks her lips, she’s excited to reveal what’s on her mind to him. She wants to see how he would react if she takes things further, would he continue to be all cute and flustered? Or maybe he might begin to take initiative again? The options excite her nonetheless. She moves over to Basil, now laying on the grass next to her, and puts her hands near the waistband of the shorts. Her eyes meet his, as she simply asks “Can I?”
Basil gently nods, the excitement and anxiety clashing in him as he lets whatever this girl has planned takes place. Kim begins to grab his shorts and gently begins to pull them off, slowly revealing more of his skin to her, every centimeter has them both growing in excitement. Finally, after slowly teasing him, she pulls his clothes down far enough to reveal what she’s been waiting for. In front of her is his dick, fully erect, visible to the both of them.
Basil’s heartbeat has managed to increase further somehow, he can’t believe this is about to happen. He can’t believe it’s about to happen with her. This hot girl is about to do god-knows-what and it’s with him. Whatever self esteem issues Basil has have evaporated for this moment, he is so ready for what’s to come.
Kim begins to take her fingers and place them along his shaft, gently caressing it as it subtly pulsates in her grasp. She looks at him, an expression devoid of the smugness before, instead earnest affection as she says to him, “I want you to feel good. After everything I’ve done you deserve this. Is that okay baby?”4
He simply nods and mutters a soft “Please.”
She accepts his consent and begins to massage his tip, gently preparing it as she leans down towards it. Her mouth slowly opens as her tongue begins to also move up his length. Basil grabs the grass beneath him, the pleasure building within as she barely has started. Kim lets out a small giggle as she notices the look of joy on his face before taking him into her mouth. She begins to bob her head on his cock, taking note of Basil’s moans as she tries to maximize his pleasure.
“Fuck Kim….” Basil moans
She continues, fighting any gag reflex she has as she begins to take him deeper in her throat. She wants her cute little flower boy to have the best first experience that he can, she owes him that much after all her teasing today. She begins to reach down her own body, her hands reaching into her underwear as she begins to pleasure herself as well.
“God I’m gonna…” Basil says
Taking this as a sign of good work she continues at an increased pace, she wants, no she needs, for him to enjoy this as much as she is right now. Basil clearly is, as his hands loosen his grip on the ground beneath the two of them and he begins to move his hands to rest on the back of her head. His grip increases on the shaved part of her head, holding it while his hips begin to gently buck into her mouth.
“Fuck Kim, you’re gonna make me cum, please Kim, I need you”
Kim continues, feeling the rising pressure begin to build within her mouth as she only increases the intensity of her actions. Finally he gives way, allowing himself to release as he hits his orgasm. His cum shoots down her throat as she takes every last drop, swallowing what she worked so hard for.
Kim pulls away after his orgasm subsides, the two of them catching their breath as they begin to bask in the afterglow of what they just did. Kim breaks the silence as she lays on his chest, “Not bad for your first time, right flower boy?”
“Yeah, definitely…” Basil says.
The boy realizes that he’s back to where he started this whole ordeal, laying on his back looking at the bright sky while he thinks. The calmness and the quiet of the setting helping him process the many events of his life, in both cases today somehow thinking about his friend having sex. This time though he’s not alone, and that makes him really happy. Probably the happiest he’s been in a while.
Bzzzt Bzzzt
Kim’s phone begins to vibrate from her pocket, interrupting their tender moment. She sighs before grabbing it to view whatever stupid message she just received. Basil lets out a small laugh at this, he really does find her cute huh.
Kim reads the messages:
Aubrey: hey loser, heard that you ditched the gang.
Aubrey: don’t blame you tbh, idky they wanted to watch that spaceboy knockoff
Aubrey: I wanted to see if you wanted to hit up othermart and get some candy. Kel’s gonna come along also if thats cool
Kim: yeah obviously I want candy I’ll be right there in a sec
Kim: I’m cool if Kel comes but only if it’s cool if Basil comes
Aubrey: yeah ofc he can come, but what’s up why r u2 hanging out together
Kim: oh it’s a whole thing I’ll update you later ;)
Kim puts her phone back into her pocket before looking up at Basil. She didn’t realize until that moment that he was running his fingers through her hair.
“Hey Flower Boy,” Kim asks “Wanna join Aubrey and Kel and get some candy?”
“Sure!” Basil responds, as he begins to lean up. He’s honestly just happy that what turned out to be a good day isn’t quite over yet.
