"Do you want us to lie to Regis that you're celebrating your birthday with us?"
That afternoon, Noel met up with his friends at a cafe not far from their campus. He asked his friends to tell Regis that they were going out to celebrate his birthday together.
But actually, he wanted to go with Alastair to celebrate just the two of them.
"I know this sounds really silly, but this is my first birthday with him. We've been celebrating our birthdays together for several years now. So let me celebrate this year with my boyfriend?" he said cautiously, asking his friends.
Javier, Falcon, and William exchanged glances when they heard the request. They didn't immediately agree to the request, not because they didn't like hearing it.
However, they knew there would be consequences if they lied to Regis.
