Today is June 1st, a day Avery would have ignored if it weren’t for the fact Derek was gay. He spent 20 dollars at the dollar store, and too much at Walmart for his ultimate surprise. He slammed open their apartment door and set everything on the counter, Derek was on the couch trying to read, he looked over to find everything rainbow. That bright ass corporate rainbow. Derek slowly got off the couch to see what he had.
“Avery—“
“Happy gay month!” Avery cheered as he started to place down balloons and ribbons, “cuz you like…gay n stuff…” he added, Derek paused as he looked at all the rainbow balloons. Hastur managed to leave his eye to look. Only for him the snicker, that was his version of laughing.
“Avery—“ Derek tried to speak, but Avery gave him a rainbow balloon.
“Here’s your balloon, cuz yall are both the rainbow!” He cheered, Derek stared at him then at the balloon. He sighed and just held the balloon. Avery opened up the seal that was holding the cake and revealed the rainbow cake with rainbow sprinkles inside, vanilla flavor. “And here's a delicious cake that says be whooo you areeee!!” Avery cheered, Derek sighed as he heard this way to much yesterday because Avery was practicing in his room.
“For your prid—“
“PRIDEEEEEE” Avery sang out loudly, which only made Hastur snicker even more, Derek sighed and smiled at Avery, he had a true heart so he couldn’t be mad. Avery sighed gently then started to remove his jacket he wore outside.
“Walmart needs to have equal temperatures, it was so cold inside I had to run back to the car to put on a jacket, but then when I got out of that Walmart it was hell outside!” He groaned as he set the jacket down on the couch, revealing some muscle he gained over the months. Derek gulped as he watched the sweat fall from his shoulders. Avery grabbed a knife and cut a piece for Derek slowly. Derek watched the muscles for a moment, when the hell he got those!?
“I see…” Derek said calmly, trying to ignore the muscles, Hastur was doing the noticing expression as he stared as well, Avery could beat his ass if he wanted to. Avery handed Derek a slice and squeezed him tight.
“Happy Pride month, Derek! Since you went out of your way for Black history month, I will do the same to you!” He cheered, then went over to his room. “Ima go shower now!” He shouted from his room then shut the door. Derek stared for a moment and gulped.
“I want him to put me in an arm lock…” he said bluntly, Hastur paused and slowly turned to Derek.
“Excuse me.”
