I Don’t Wanna Wait In Vain

My first Red White and Royal Blue fic!! Thank you to the discord who inspired me and encouraged me! Read on AO3 here.

When Alex arrived home a few hours earlier than scheduled, the last thing he expected to see was his roommate making out with some boy on their couch. Henry’s hands were tangled in his dark hair, one leg thrown over his hips. As soon as Henry caught sight of Alex in the doorway, he sprang back from the guy, pushing him away.

“Alex! I- I didn’t expect you home so soon! I- um- this is, uh, Aiden. Aiden, this is my roommate Alex.” Henry’s eyes darted between Alex and Aiden as Alex felt his face heat up.

“I’m just gonna… go to my room.” muttered Alex, and hurried past the couch. Shutting the door a little too hard, he sank to the ground and let his head fall back with a thump. Why was his heart racing? Why was there a lump in his throat and a knot in his stomach? He knew Henry was gay, and he didn’t have a problem with it. At least, he didn’t think he did. He certainly didn’t have a problem with Liam or his boyfriend Spencer. He didn’t have a problem with the LGBT people in his classes. So why did he have a problem with Henry?

He heard voices rising in volume on the other side of the door, one that he recognized as Henry’s, but he couldn’t make out what they were saying. Eventually, he heard the front door slam and Henry groan. There was a knock on Alex’s door.

“Hey, uhm, Aiden is gone if you wanna… y’know… come out.” Alex nodded, before realizing Henry couldn’t see him. Why did he feel like his chest was lighter and a weight was lifted off his shoulders? He had too many questions and not enough answers, so he decided to do what he always did when he needed a distraction- throw himself into his work. Opening his laptop and spreading out his books and papers, he started on an essay.

He was startled out of his concentration by another knock on his door and Henry informing him that it was dinnertime. A quick glance at the clock showed that it was almost 6:30. Alex finished the paragraph he was typing and closed his laptop. Leaving his room, he joined Henry on their couch, tucking one foot under his other leg. The TV was quietly playing in the background, some cooking show that Alex didn’t care for. His mind was cloudy and unfocused, and he couldn’t stop thinking about Henry kissing some guy on their couch.

“So. Who was that?” Alex asks.

“Aiden? He’s… no one.”

“No one? Is that why you were sucking face with him on our couch?” Alex’s voice had a bit more vitriol than he intended. Still, he didn’t back down, even when he saw Henry cringe.

“Erm… yes. He was… no one. Really, Alex, just let it go.” For some reason, that just made Alex angrier.

“Let it go? I’d rather not come home and see that. Can you at least do it in your room?”

“That's what we were planning to do. Sorry for not being able to predict that you would get home early!” That just clouded Alex’s thoughts more. In the back of his mind, he registered sharp points of pain in his shin. Looking down, he saw he had been digging his nails into his leg, most likely leaving crescent-shaped marks.

They sat in silence for a few minutes until the doorbell rang, and Alex went to get the pizza. When he returned, Henry had put on A New Hope. Alex forced himself to focus on the movie and not the thick tension between them as they ate their dinner. They were both uncharacteristically quiet, offering no comments or quips.

***

The silence and tension continued for a week, Henry bringing home various men and Alex trying in vain to ignore it. Eventually, Alex had enough. He knew he couldn’t fix this himself. He needed help. After laying in his bed for hours and thinking of how badly he fucked things up with Henry, he rolled over and grabbed his phone, texting Nora before he could talk himself out of it.

>Skype lunch this weekend? I need to talk to you.

>Only if you’re buying.

Can June come?

>Sure.

***

That Sunday, Alex eats lunch in his room instead of on the couch like usual. After taking a bite of his burger, he plugs in his headphones and opens skype on his laptop, calling Nora. After two rings she picks up. Straight to the point, Nora asks what’s bothering him. Sighing, Alex explains his problem.

“So Henry and I have been roommates for years, right, and I’ve know he’s gay the whole time. But last week, I got home early and he was making out with some guy on the couch. And then I realized that he’s never actually told me about any of his crushes or boyfriends, so I told him he’s welcome to talk about that stuff with me, and he said he didn’t have a love life and that the guys he’s brought over don’t actually mean anything. I don’t know what’s happening.”

Nora and June laugh so hard Alex has to rip his headphones off. Faintly, he can make out the words ‘Alex’ and ‘idiot’, and then more laughter. It takes several minutes for both of them to calm down, during which Alex huffs at them to stop multiple times. It only makes them laugh harder. Eventually, Nora is the first to speak.

“Alright, let’s go back to the guy on the couch. What happened there? Like, walk us through what happened when you walked in.” Alex frowns, but explains the events from when he walked into the apartment that day. That just prompted another bout of laughter from June and Nora. After sharing a look with Nora, June was the first to talk.

“Alex, what you’re describing- the lump in your throat, your stomach churning, your heart racing- are jealousy. You’re fucking jealous!” Nora and June smirked at each other, then looked expectantly at Alex.

“What do I have to be jealous of? I don’t want to kiss Aiden. I don’t even know him.” At that, the women groaned in unison.

“You’re jealous of Aiden, not Henry. Come on, you’ve wanted to kiss him practically since you saw him. And he wants to kiss you too.” Nora states matter-of-factly.

“Hold on. Back up. I don’t like Henry, and he doesn’t like me, at least not like that. We’re just friends. And I’m straight.” But Alex’s voice wavered, his mind already running through his and Henry’s relationship. The day they met and how Alex’s first thought was that his new roommate was very handsome, the light feeling in his chest when Henry laughs at a joke he told, and the fire in his gut when he saw Henry kissing Aiden. Then his mind wandered to his high school years- trying not to look at other guys in the locker room, thinking about large hands and wide shoulders when he was in the shower, and whatever went on between him and Liam. At the thought of Liam, Alex quickly ended the call and shut his laptop. He had a lot to think about.

***

Alex didn't pay attention to anything that afternoon, nor did he get any sleep that night. He had been too wired to fall asleep, wandering through his memories and picking out the moments that, in retrospect, he should’ve recognized as not being very straight. By the time the thin rays of dawn were filtering through his curtains, he had come up with a list.

One. He’s not as straight as he thought he was.

Two. He’s attracted to Henry, and probably has been since they moved in together.

Three. He really wants to kiss Henry.

Four. He can’t stand seeing Henry kiss other people.

Five. According to Nora, Henry also likes him.

Now he just has to figure out what to do with that information. He went through his day on autopilot, not retaining any information from his classes. His professors droned on about laws and their applications, but Alex’s mind was on Henry. Henry’s soft blond hair, Henry’s bright blue eyes, the way Henry gets excited when he talks about literature or LGBT history. His strong hands, his laugh, the way he comes out of his shell when they’re together.

When he pushed the door of the apartment open that afternoon, Henry was once again on their couch, this time curled up with a book against the armrest. Something by Jane Austen, Alex guesses. Steeling his nerves, he sits on the other side of the couch and clears his throat. Wordlessly, Henry looks up from his book and raises an eyebrow.

“I’m sorry. I’ve been an asshole lately.” Alex apologizes, hoping he looks as guilty as he feels. Thankfully, Henry closes the book and puts it down.

“Frankly, yeah, you have.”

“Yeah, um, I was because I was… jealous.” Multiple emotions flashed across Henry’s face, including something Alex couldn’t identify, before he schooled his features again.

“What do you have to be jealous of? You could get girls if you wanted. You tell me about all the girls who hit on you. I’m sure any one of them would be happy to sleep with you.”

“No, I’m…” Alex sighed, trying to figure out how to say what he wanted to. “I'm not jealous of you for how much you, ahem, get. I’m jealous… of Aiden. And… everyone else you bring home.” He could see Henry trying to wrap his mind around Alex’s confession.

“I, um, talked to Nora and June about me being an asshole, and they helped me realize that it was… jealousy. I thought about it, and I’m not as straight as I thought.” Henry’s brows furrowed in confusion.

“So… what are you trying to tell me?” Alex groaned and put his head in his hands. This was harder than he thought it would be. Then again, he had never confessed his love to his roommate after realizing he’s not straight.

“I’m bisexual and I like you. As more than a friend.” Alex said in one breath. As soon as he said the last word, he felt like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. Slowly, he looked up and saw Henry was staring at him, his eyes wide.

“You’re- I- What? Wait, really? I- I didn’t-”

“So, um, I get it if you’re not into me like that, but I just needed to get it off my chest.” Alex rubbed the back of his neck, self conscious of Henry’s eyes on him.

“Are you really that thick? I’ve been flirting with you since we met. I just had no hope because, y’know, you’re straight. Or at least, I thought you were.” A blush spread across Henry’s face, reaching from his cheeks to the tips of his ears.

“So, what was Aiden?”

“A pathetic attempt to get over you. Really, he was no one.” Alex let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding. They sat in silence, Henry shifting in his seat and Alex running his finger along the key around his neck. Alex was the first to speak.

“So what are we now? I mean, I’d like to, y’know, be with you…”

“I want that too!” Henry quickly interjected. Alex’s heart skipped a beat at the thought of dating Henry, of kissing him, of doing other things with him.

“So, I guess we can just, like, see where this goes?”

“Yeah, I think that would be best.” As soon as the words left Henry’s mouth, Alex realized how close they were. They had slowly been moving towards each other, and now they were almost touching. If he just leaned forward a bit, Alex realized with a start, he could press their lips together.

“Can I kiss you?” He asked breathlessly. Henry nodded. Their lips met, and it was perfect.

Since parting ways with Sennheiser, Danish audio hardware manufacturers EPOS have gone from strength to strength. Their target is the bustling gaming market, one that grows year on year and one of the best performers throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

The EPOS H3 wired gaming headset, then, enters a marketplace brimming with competition and not short of regular new entries.

At face value, the H3 looks great, and for many, wired audio always trumps wireless, no matter if you're gaming or just enjoying your favorite artists.

Read on for our hands-on review of the EPOS H3.

EPOS H3 Specifications

Style: Over-ear, closed-back, wired

Color: White, black

Frequency response: 10-30,000Hz

Impedance: 20 ohms

Microphone: Integrated bidirectional

Frequency response: 10-18,000Hz

Connectivity: 5mm jack

Cable length: 2m

Platforms: Any with a 3.5mm jack

Weight: 270g (9.5oz)

The EPOS H3 Is Designed for Gamers

Let's start with the H3 design. EPOS has opted for an over-ear, closed-back wired design for the H3, which is good for the audio-immersion side of things.

In terms of comfort, the H3 earpads are extremely soft memory foam covered with leatherette, using an ergonomic approach designed to fit any ear comfortably for prolonged periods. The earcup itself is of a decent size, covering most of the ear to create a decent seal to prevent audio leakage, in or out.

The headband's underside is also covered in soft material, and while every head is different, you can use the adjustable sliders to find the most comfortable wearing angle. The overall build quality of the EPOS H3 wired gaming headset feels good, if a bit heavy on the plastic. The sliders are metal, which does give you a feeling that that headphones won't suddenly break at this critical pressure point, which is always welcome.

One thing I did note was how quickly the headband adjusted to my head. It felt like the headband was becoming slack rather quickly, which was disconcerting. However, after hours of use, the headband now feels naturally contoured to my head size, which again, adds to the overall comfort level.

Another interesting point is weight distribution. The EPOS H3 headset weighs 270g (9.5oz), which is fairly average in terms of competitors and headsets in general. EPOS has designed the H3 with excellent balance, so the weight feels well distributed throughout the headset. This, rather than the bottom-heavy feeling you find with some headsets, which in turn can lead to pressure build-up on the ears.

The H3 comes with an integrated microphone. While that won't please everyone, it is unobtrusive and doesn't cause any issues when you're not using it. Also, being able to mute the microphone by pushing it into the upwards position is a handy option for those moments where you need to stop broadcasting on team-speak, Discord, or otherwise, but don't want to both finding the actual mute button.

Last but not least, the EPOS H3 is a wired gaming headset. With a cable length of 2 meters, it'll suit most gaming setups. However, if you're sitting further back, you'll be pleased to know that the audio quality doesn't suffer when connected to an extension cable.

How Do the EPOS H3 Sound?

Enough about design and comfort: how do the EPOS H3 wired gaming headphones handle audio?

As this is a gaming headset, it was only right to take it for a test run in all manner of games, covering first-person shooters, racing, and more.

First out of the blocks was Doom 2016, which is always a good test for any gaming headset. The combination of punchy, powerful weapons, howling demons, and incredible soundtrack come to life with the EPOS H3. I'm always amazed at the Super Shotgun's overall sound, the shotgun shells ripping from the barrels in unison, while recoil and reload both feel immeasurably close to you, delivering a great sense of immersion in the demonic world.

Dirt 5 was an interesting experience, too. The cars in Dirt 5 tend to ignore the sound of gears changing, instead just sound like they're moving through the same gear ratio five or six times without any change in tone. Of course, the H3s cannot help that. It's a game design issue.

However, I found the EPOS H3 picking out other noises in Dirt 5, which is a nice touch. On stages with driving rain, black skies, and thunder and lightning, the local environment very much comes to the fore. The rain actually sounds dense, puddles crash over your vehicle, and every grain of gravel under your tire crunches.

Then there games that don't blast sound at you, requiring a more subtle soundstage to pick up on every aspect of the audio design. The roguelike Noita very much fits this description, with sounds creeping into the gameplay depending on your location, environment, enemies, and bosses. The H3 headset picks up on those subtleties and doesn't overwhelm them with its own sound signature due to the soundstage design.

EPOS has taken the opportunity to tune the H3 soundstage to pick up every footstep, each shell casing dropping to the floor and each drop of rain with precision. But they cover the wider sound experience nicely, putting every ounce of EPOS's design expertise to good use.

The H3 headset very much lives up to the billing. EPOS wants the H3 to "deliver an accurate, clear midrange, with a controlled bass response," and you'll find that, honestly, this is the case.

H3 Headphones Deliver the Musical Goods, Too

It's not only games that the H3 headphones help to sound fantastic. Most people use their headphones to listen to music outside of their gaming sessions, and the H3 doesn't disappoint here, either.

The H3 EQ isn't flat like you would find with studio earphones. But it doesn't push particularly far into any specific sound signature, either. What I mean is that often when manufacturers try to deliver a soundstage suited to gaming, it can end up bass-heavy to account for explosions, or pushed too high to capture gunshots, and so on.

The H3 doesn't force you massively in any direction, with the same qualities that bring your favorite games to life also ringing home with music, too. You can really get a sense of this when listening to certain types of music. For example, a synth-wave playlist is the perfect type of music for the H3 headphones. In fairness, this is likely due to this genre's affinity with games, but nonetheless, they sound great.

Is the EPOS H3 Microphone Worth Using?

As far as integrated gaming headset microphones go, the EPOS H3s bidirectional option performs well across several different games, chat apps, and more. Integrated microphones are always a bit hit or miss, leaving you stuck with a lackluster microphone in some cases.

The H3 microphone, on the other hand, is crisp and clear, with friends and family alike commenting on the overall clarity of my voice while chatting. Handily, the microphone requires very little effort to position. You can move the microphone arm up and down, and there is a small flexible area in the middle of the arm, but the overall positioning didn't appear to affect my ability to be heard.

In that, the H3 microphone is reliably clear and easy to use, which is a great combination.

As mentioned above, the option to mute your voice broadcast by simply pushing the microphone arm up into the lock position is handy, especially when you're deep into a game that you cannot pause or leave—we've all been there!

Is the EPOS H3 Wired Gaming Headset Worth Your Money?

The biggest compliment I can possibly pay the EPOS H3 headset is that it has become my daily audio driver right now. In a world where headphone and earbuds options are essentially limitless and where I can review several different headsets a month, for the EPOS H3 wired gaming headphones to have landed and become my go-to is quite something.

Add in the fact that as a 3.5mm wired gaming headset, you can use the EPOS H3 with any platform or bit of hardware with a regular headphones port, and EPOS is definitely onto a winner.

The H3 headset is comfortable, too. You can wear these cans for hours without realizing it. The soft cushioning protects your ears from overheating or pressure fatigue, and the aforementioned weight balance means you genuinely don't notice the H3 upon your head.

The EPOS H3 is available in Snow White or Onyx Black for $120. For the comfort levels alone, the H3 is well worth your time.

Best Computer Gaming Headset Updated January 2021

As a long-time gamer, I've at all times discovered that the music and sound results actually set the sport's tone. The issue there's that to listen to the sound successfully, you typically find yourself together with your neighbors calling the police or your dad and mom yelling at you to "flip that noise off!" The answer is, after all, to make use of both ear buds or headsets. However they typically sound tinny and weak regardless of how loud you crank up the amount, making them fairly pointless. The way in which to avoid that's, after all, to search out and purchase a high gaming headset. This, nonetheless, could also be simpler stated than carried out!

You can, for instance, run out to any "tech" store of your selection and stand round attempting on varied headset makes and fashions to search out simply the suitable gaming headset amongst all of its friends. You can go to website after website and analysis all of them and simply hope you get fortunate. You can even inform Grandma that you really want a headset for Christmas and hold your fingers crossed.

Face it; with the plethora of high gaming headsets on the market, discovering simply the suitable and excellent one is sort of inconceivable. In spite of everything, if all of them declare to be high, how can the buyer actually inform? In Tritton's case, nonetheless, the phrases "high gaming headset" tackle a complete new which means. The Tritton AX 720 Precision Digital Gaming Headset has been designed particularly to be used with the Xbox® and PS3® gaming methods, and Dolby Digital and Dolby Headphone expertise and, due to this; it has set new benchmark requirements in 2-channel encompass sound headsets. Moreover, though designed primarily for gaming consoles, these headsets will work with just about any audio/video gadget that has a digital or optical port, a USB connection or perhaps a video card with stereo enter/output. This contains just about something out of your pc to your stereo to your iPhone!

So what? It really works with every thing? Is that any cause to say this headset is THE high gaming headset on the market? Properly, no, probably not. What does make it one of the best is the true 5.1 Dolby Digital audio, the eight precision audio system hiding inside these two ear cups and, lastly, the Dolby Digital decoder. All these work in direction of making a 3D audio atmosphere that would be the envy of your entire gaming buddies! In reality, you possibly can brag all about it to them utilizing the removable microphone after which hearken to their each whimper! Including but extra to your gaming expertise, it is simple and handy in-line audio controller options separate sport and voice quantity controls. These all add as much as provide you with whole management of the audio part of your gaming expertise.

Regardless of all this, and though its high quality is effectively past skilled grade, its value falls on the "Wow, a mean particular person can afford it!" aspect of the coin. On the entire I must say that the Tritton AX undoubtedly lives as much as its hype as the highest gaming headset on the market as we speak! Hearken to your video games and music your method, and revel in them 100 instances extra!

For my part, for the cash, Logitech makes one of the best gaming headsets. They're the one ones I exploit.

Why? Logitech is a superb selection in any pc peripherals, not solely headsets. They're recognized world-wide and a trusted title in private pc peripherals.

The corporate began with mice again in 1981, when mice had been a model new method of interacting together with your PC; they usually have been within the forefront of peripheral design and manufacturing ever since. As I sort this text on my Logitech keyboard and mouse, I'm reminded of why I normally look and ask for, Logitech peripherals.

My headsets are not any completely different. I've not had any bother with them. I do attempt to maintain my them, I do not rip them off my head, or throw them round, and I do not let my youngsters use them!

For example, the Logitech G330 is small, lightweight, comparatively cheap and has all of the options I want for on-line gaming on the PC. It's comfy, has noise canceling microphone, and a mute change on the wire for when I've to yell at one of many cats or the household! It's a nice first-time avid gamers headset, if you're nonetheless not too positive about all this MMORPG stuff, and possibly do not wish to spend out the nostril for a sport headset! It additionally works effectively with Skype and Ventrilo.

These of us who actually get into our gaming expertise, might want to transfer as much as a costlier and versatile wi-fi headset, the Logitech G-930 is an effective selection. It has encompass sound, so you possibly can really hear the footsteps arising behind you! Yeah, kinda eerie! Regardless that it's wi-fi, there's just about no lag as much as 40 toes away out of your PC. And naturally consolation all the best way.

Some individuals might have a number of cash to spend on costly pc peripherals, and additional gaming gear. I don't. So I keep on with my tried and true Logitech.

One of many comparatively massive choices that leisure avid gamers ultimately must make is whether or not or to not additional make investments extra money right into a gaming headset. Gaming consoles, and the video games themselves are already costly sufficient. Then, if you consider the price of web when you did not have already got it, plus the connection service that's generally required simply to go browsing, gaming can develop to be a expensive pastime in a short time.

Nonetheless, when you both choose gaming over most different pursuits that may pressure your pockets, have bigger quantities of disposable earnings, or are a bit extra critical than the typical leisure gamer, then a headset is probably going going to be a choice that can garner a good quantity of consideration.

The leisure and critical, or hardcore, gamer alike have to ask themselves some questions when deciding whether or not or to not buy a gaming headset. This text will go over crucial factors, and the extra components that needs to be thought-about when making a purchase order.

The primary, and most essential query that any shopper, must ask earlier than making a purchase order, is after all the associated fee. It does not matter in case you are a aggressive on-line gamer, or trying to purchase a brand new ebook, it's worthwhile to know what you might be getting for no matter sum of money you might be spending. With regards to gaming headsets, there are a number of choices, and a corresponding vary of costs. Listening to the options that are likely to correspond to a sure value level is essential to creating the shopping for expertise productive.
