Arc 2.5

Travis looks away from Glen angrily. Glen looked too long!

"Travis are you okay?" Glen asks worriedly. Travis nods but doesn't look Glen way.

"I wasn't looking at her! I was just thinking about why she would be here? Especially since she wants to destroy Tai! Do you think she knows that I'm his backing?" Glen explains to Travis. Travis frowns and looks at Glen.

"If she does that would explain the seducing. She might do something that will make you hate Tai" Travis adds. Glen looks down what would make him hate Tai?

"Let's think of this tomorrow when Tai arrives. He might know something about this girl. Maybe after we tell him we can invite Alaric he might have discovered something" Glen sighs. Travis nods in agreement and the two head to Glen's home.

++++Next day with Tai+++++

Tai uses the key to enter Glen's home. He takes off his shoes.

"I'm here Glen," Tai says as he enters heading to the living room.

"Tai you have arrived come here! Here are some snacks and orange juice" Travis exclaims with a smile. Glen is clearly nervous he has a worried look on his face.

"Thanks, Travis but what's wrong with Glen he looks nervous?" Tai asks curiously. Glen looks at Tai with a serious look.

"I'm gay and I have been dating Travis" Glen quickly says. Tai starts laughing shocking Travis and Glen. As they haven't heard him laugh this much in a long time it's usually a chuckle.

"I thought it was something serious! I've known since you first introduced Travis. I'm not that clueless my old friend. I could tell you were in love with Travis" Tai laughs but it wasn't for this reason. He finally realized why the original was hated by Glen. The death of Travis was clearly framed on him! The only way that Glen will hate Tai would be losing someone he loved.

"You did?!" Panics Glen in shock. Tai wipes a tear from his face from laughter.

"Of course did you think I would hate you for dating a man? I'm not like that never will be! I'm glad you found someone you love. I have been waiting for you to tell me" Tai answers with a smile. Glen couldn't help but cry and hug Tai.

"I'm so glad that you don't hate me" Glen cries. Tai pets his head like he did when they were kids and Glen would come crying to him. Glen cried even louder his old friend is breaking more out of his shell! Maybe he should get Alaric to hang out more with Tai! Travis smiles looking at the two.

"I told you!" Travis says jokingly. Glen looks at him sheepishly.

"Hey I was scared alright," Glen says a bit childishly.

"I invited Alaric if that's okay Tai! Since we gonna go out to eat! And didn't want you to feel left out in any way" Travis states cheerfully. Tai looks at Travis and nods in acceptance.

"Okay I'm alright now," Glen says as he wiped his tears and went back to his mature self. He only acted a bit childish when he is in front of Tai. As he is basically his brother even if they have different parents.

"Let's get going then!" Travis adds in. Tai nods in acceptance they head to a high up restaurant. Alaric is waiting near the entrance. He brightens up when he sees Tai. He waves at Tai which Tai returns.

"So that's Alaric he looks and acts like a puppy" Travis couldn't help but say.

"He reminds me of a golden retriever who just saw his owner" Glen adds trying not to laugh. Tai glares at the two to shut up.

"Alaric hopefully you haven't been waiting long," Tai says as he approaches Alaric.

"Not really I arrived just a couple minutes before you arrived. So this is your best friend Glen and this must be the guy who called me on the phone Travis right?" Alaric greets the two.

"hm, thanks for the help last time" Glen responds with a nod.

"Of course it wasn't a problem!" Alaric responds while he glances at Tai.

"Let's go in and eat now," Travis says as he enters and asks for their table. Everyone else follows in and they were quickly seated in a private room.

"So Alaric how and why did you befriend Tai" interrogates Glen. Alaric panics a bit and looks at Tai for help. Tai just shrugs and gives him you're on your own look.

"Umm, I don't know? Maybe when I saw he is actually very kind but is very socially awkward. Which I first thought was a bit weird as he is an actor but his acting is enchanting! After I saw that I really wanted to be his friend! Approaching him wasn't easy at all! He always left meh!" Alaric explains and ended up ranting a bit. Glen smiles widely thinking yep that sounds about right.

"Right! When I first met him he just looked at me coldly I thought he hated me! However, it's just him being socially awkward thankfully!" Travis agrees with Alaric. As he clutched his heart and acting like he was soo sad.

"Yeah! I'm so glad I kept bothering him until he accepted my presence!" Alaric fake cries while he glances at Tai.

"Glen we shouldn't have allowed them to meet" Tai states. Glen nods in agreement when Travis and Alaric are being chaotic and dramatic.

"Our lives just got more chaotic" Glen adds. Travis hugs Glen and whispers something in his ear. And Glen's face slowly became red.

"What do you think he said?" Whispers Alaric to Tai.

"I have no idea and I don't want to know" Tai answers. He did not want to know about Glens and Travis's sex life.
