I looked towards where Lucian, my best-friend since childhood, leaned against a locker. My heart beat wildly as he looked towards my way, a smirk growing on his handsome face.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPxrD0PBDb
I walked towards the coal-haired boy but stopped in my tracks when some girl threw herself over Lucian. I clenched my fists and tried to bury my jealousy and disgust at the sight. I only became even more pissed off when Lucian wrapped a sly arm around the girl’s waist.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT5vPZyhdj
“Lucian,” I hissed in annoyance, storming over to them. “Come on. Let’s go.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RxHQHFSwO
He only raised an eye-brow at my visible displeasure but gave in and followed me down the hallways of our school.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvSVFmWJBQ
“What’s up with you?” Lucian asked with a hint of amusement in his voice.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYKVlviUAs
“Nothing,” I snapped back.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAi7dEQC9x
Nothing. Haha. I wish it was nothing!I have a fucking crush on you! That’s what's up!
Lucian suddenly took hold of my wrist and spun me around to face him.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OghyENy83
“Ethan! What’s wrong?” He asked, this time actually looking worried. “Did I do something wrong?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtMu9dqmdA
I softened a little, feeling guilty. It’s not Lucian’s fault I have a stupid, hopless crush on him for a few seven years. “N-nothing. Just a bit cranky today.” I tried to get my wrist out of his tight grip but he wouldn’t budge, instead tightening it even more.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe0LgDEcnO
“Lucian, let go of me,” I said lightly. “Nothing’s wrong. You know I get sour.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHH5NlIQPT
“Yeah, but there’s a reason why you’re sour,” he reasoned.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebjTH0pBEj
“Well, I can be sour whenever the hell I want to,” I said. “Now let go of my hand shit-head.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJrDdKDgtF
Lucian looked unconvinced but didn’t push further and dropped my hand.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1idDcu5RhM
“Okay then,” Lucian said hesitantly. I smiled softly.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq22Xpa2Wt
“I’m fine Lucian,” I reassured him. “Now come on! We have to get to class!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUq9Ep7PMj
He let himself get dragged by me through the hallways. I suddenly let go of him and said, “Last one to class is straight!” And then I took off like my mom is chasing me with her belt.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV89V6xJgnX
“You cheating son of a bitch!” Lucian screamed, running after me. It was no secret to the school that I was gay and that he was bisexual. Sometimes people stared at us in disgust and confusion, like we were some alien species. I just didn’t understand why, because we were human just like them.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgjrifMf05
Lucian and I burst into the classroom, almost breaking the poor door, and we collapsed on our seats breathing heavily.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQw3dlmtHi
“I definitely won that,” I said, panting like a dog.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRl36dtOSC
“Boy, you wish,” he said. “Cheater.” We both exploded in hysterics and we fell to the floor clutching our stomachs. I didn’t even know what was so funny. All I knew was that everything becomes a hundred times funnier when you’re with your best friend.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HJmXkARVW
I looked up from where I was crouching on the floor to see Lucian, a thin coat of sweat covering his cedar brown skin, a gorgeous smile on his god-like face. I could feel a blush rising on my cheeks and I looked down, trying to hide it.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vSHAxomD7
A hand took hold of my chin and tilted my face upwards, making me look into Lucian’s azure eyes. I stared closely at him and noticed an adorable, tiny, black mole on the side of his eye.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb3shqM0d2
Since when did he have a mole?
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29clOvKIrb
“You have a mole,” I blurted out. “You look cute with it.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IDGGiIsF7
He smiled softly. “Do I?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb762TNNPAC
I nodded, “I noticed it just now.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS617dwdLfI
He hummed in thought, staring into me. “I’ve always wondered what colour your eye actually was,” he mumbled. “They’re always so dark so I couldn’t figure it out. Now I know what the colour is.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DkaILSnKU
“Well, what colour is it then?” I asked, a small blush rising into my cheek. I looked away from his gaze, feeling slightly embarrassed.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUGedLOOT4
He turned my face back towards him, forcing me to look at him.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtwfgCITQO
“Blue,” he answered. He smiled at me, his eyes darkening a little. “A deep, deep blue.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOAv13ecZS
The door slammed open, breaking our moment.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmOGgN5l9y
Was that even a moment?
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXuk7E5NrZ
Our Maths teacher, Mr. I-forgot-his-name stormed in, looking grumpy as ever and slammed his books down on the table.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKys0tQCSdI
He wrote down something on the board.
Page 158 -Ex 19A - Questions 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12. . . . . . . 40
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA0aVKQzSR
The teacher turned towards us, “Do this and don’t bother me! Also, Lucian, Ethan! Get up from the floor!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxebCrATxmK
We rolled our eyes and got up, sitting in our seats and opening our books. It was only two minutes and both of us were already waving our white flags. We decided to eat our food without the teacher noticing us.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ317Ex6hpdQ
“Hey,” I whispered to Lucian, whose mouth is currently filled with Nutella pancakes. “What’s the teacher’s name again?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFOQEMqHwa
“Mr. Tandy.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCeFcl2uSx
“Mr. Sandy?” I whispered, mimicking his lips with a raised eyebrow.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg021o9hGZL
Lucian slapped his forehead and repeated, “Mr. Tandy.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYizoPVlxkK
“Mr. Dandy?” I tried again.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlNb5tHLem
He groaned in annoyance and gritted out, “T-A-N-D-Y.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYinEGj1uh
My mouth formed an O-shape and nodded at him. I coughed loudly to get the teacher’s attention. Lucian looked at me, confused at what I was upto.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLfrFcp0U7
“Um, sir, can my friend and I go to the sickroom? We’re not feeling well. I feel like I’m about to throw up.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMMLTAA0Xz
A look of understanding settled in Lucian’s eyes. “Yeah, I think we drank that expired milk in the morning.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjo7BDDgzD
The teacher narrowed his eyes on the both of us. I put my acting skills to use and pretended to look uncomfortable, timidly rubbing my abdomen to get the effect right.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RmFyYISTK
“Fine,” the teacher grumbled. “Get out of here.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxpPThCZ15
I sneakily grinned at Lucian and winked at him. I took his hand and both of us slowly limped out of the class. I turned to face the teacher and said, “Thank you Mr. D-A-N-D-Y.” Lucian muffled a laugh-shriek and hauled me out of the room.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgOsxGvZMB
As soon as we were out we ran through the hallways until we were outside the school. We hid behind a wall so the gate-guard couldn't see us and we slipped past him and scaled the walls of the school easily. After all, practice makes perfect.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGLp3W72XL
We got into my car which was parked near the wall we just jumped off, in case of emergencies. Lucian got into the driver’s seat and I got into the passenger seat. We stared at each other in silence. We lasted for about seven seconds before we both burst into laughter.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gCF9bjQVE
“Why the fuck would you call him Mr. D-A-N-D-Y?” he screeched at me. I wanted to say something but I kept on gasping and bursting into laughter. “You fucking dumbass!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkNVnbu1DV
“B-but you said-” I spluttered, trying to get out a proper sentence. “Y-you said t-that was-” I let out a scream as I remembered the teacher’s face. “-you said that was h-his name!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUvCmSFgn1
“Oh Holy mother of all things gay!” my idiot exclaimed. “I was spelling it out for you! AND I SAID MR. T-A-N-D-Y!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IrFHkCgmI
“How the heck was I supposed to know that!” I yelled back.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiQeypH7Nn
“I don’t if you’ve heard about it but there’s this thing called a brain–”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwBKqF4LP6
“Yeah, I know what that is, but mine doesn’t work!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfYFGO05iu
“I doubt you had one in the first place!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Zap1RFetI
We ended up laughing for thirty minutes. My eyes were puffy and filled with tears by the time we stopped our fit.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB7fCLLB7y
“Oh gosh,” I murmured, sinking into the seat, thankful that my lungs are working again. My mind was messed up with all that bullshit from before and I accidentally uttered, “I fucking love you.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxg6AOCw3I
My eyes widened at what I said. I slowly turned in fear to see Lucian, his face similarly filled with shock. I waited for his reaction, dread slowly filling me. I let out a small exhale of relief when he smiled slowly. “I love you too bro.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxxtOJQWJW
Bro. Did I just get bro-zoned? My heart broke into tiny pieces knowing that my love for him and his love for me are two very different things. I shakily smiled and leaned my head against the window as he drove through the streets endlessly, with no direction in mind.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hFepQ3AjC
Yes, I loved him like a best-friend, but I knew what I felt for him. He was more than just a best-friend for me. No, it wasn’t some silly crush, I realised. I’m in love with him.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2X6KbYkhZ
I didn’t know why. I didn’t know how. I just knew. I knew I loved him from his coal hair to the tip of his toes. I knew I loved his laugh. I knew I loved his adorable smile. I knew I loved his stupid jokes. I knew I loved his obsession with Nutella and his blabbering and that amazed look on his face when he sees fish or something he likes.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoccsDZMl2X
I. . . . I knew then, that my heart belonged to him. He held it in his hand but he didn’t even know it.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTrBh43J8b
I wanted to tell him, I really did, but I was a coward. I didn’t want to lose what we had. I treasured what we were. So I silently gave him permission to break my heart as he pleases, even if he didn’t know it.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7yZZFaYcP
I turned to see Lucian’s face, now a calm and content look, as he drove through the familiar streets we always drove through when we ditched classes together. Even if I wasn’t in love with him romantically, I still would gladly walk through hell for that man. He would and will always be my best-friend. Nothing and no one would ever change that.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wpJVuDdpQ
“Hey, Ethan?” Lucian called, glancing at me before looking back at the road.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasONn28tgJ
“Y-yeah?” I mumbled, breaking out of my thoughts.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhtdlwwIkC
“What are you thinking in that pretty little head of yours?” he asked, his lips tilting upwards in a small smile.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV3gicwXkb
“Don’t even ask,” I replied, grinning at him. “You’d lose your remaining two brain cells trying to comprehend my wise, philosophical thoughts in that peanut-sized brain of yours.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk8YTJS651
“At Least I have a brain,” he muttered.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ky7EdJ3ry
“Pardon?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3MC85bBSy
“You heard nothing,” And then he smoothly changed the subject saying, “Also, Kasha’s having a party tonight. You comin’?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFbK6ubJE2
“You ask that as if you’re giving me a choice. If I refuse, you’d still drag me to that god-forsaken party anyway.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9tPbdsPrO
Lucian cackled and said, “You know me so well darling.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql9xF9KMH7
I made a face at the darling even though I was blushing a little.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6slZdoJw5c
“Zisgasting!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSoS41rMKl
“But you’re blushing,” he pointed out.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNx7GkYR7op
“No, you’re just hallucinating like usual.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRieuckPCg
We laughed and bickered all the way home. But my heart was heavy as the back of my mind kept reminding me that Lucian is never going to love me back the way I do.
* * *
I sighed, standing next to Lucian, dressed in black pants and a dark-red button down shirt.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRMIJi9OGp
“This place is colossal,” I said, entering the mansion and looking around the dancing people and loud music.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwHzMNOQaV
“I know right? Come on, let’s go get a drink.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFviYpU0Eev
“You know my tolerance is shit Luce.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0RpAxNYFW
“Yeah, pretty much non-existent when you think about it.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjKvTrCVMF
I rolled my eyes at him. He entwined my hand with him and dragged me to the bar. He never let go of my hand as he ordered mildly-strong cocktails. He sat down on the stool and pulled me into his lap, wrapping his arm around my waist.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K8ZvU66m4
“What the-” I stuttered. “What are you doing?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh3BCKLgfM
“Sitting,” he replied. “Why are you so embarrassed? We do this all the time.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9j7212CH1h
He was right, we did but it’s kind of different now. My stomach felt as if butterflies were stuck in them or something and my cheeks felt like they were burning. It felt weird. But it was a weird nice. But I felt scared too. When our drinks came I didn’t hesitate to down it in one go. Not a good idea as I almost choked. I let out a raspy sound as I placed my cup back on the table, the bartender re-filling it immediately.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm6YOimqns
“Drink it slowly,” Lucian said, his breath fanning my ear. I shivered at the feeling. I took my drink and drank it slowly this time. Some of the tension I didn’t even notice I had, eased from my shoulders.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9ao7hL41x
“There we go,” Lucian crooned at me. “Loosen up Ethan, it’s a party.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpObdEEJGB
“Okay,” I nodded, feeling breathless. And the both of us drank. Three cups turning into five. Five turns into I-can’t-even-remember and then we were on the dance floor. My arms around Lucian’s neck and his hands on my hips. We swayed to the music. One thing about Kasha was that she’s lesbian and homophobic people were out of her list so her parties were always nice and safe.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCibKJjy1R
I tilted my neck to look up at Lucian, feeling drunk. Everything was so woozy and wobbly and nothing made sense. “You fucking jerk,” I told him.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc40dKKpnxX
He chuckled, looking only slightly tipsy. “What did I do now?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDDpI4VIH6
I glared up at him, his hands tightening on my hips as my legs started to feel shaky. “What did you do?” I asked incredulously. “You made me fall in love with you! And not how bros do! I fucking love you! I fucking love you so much, it’s so hard not to kiss you! And you don’t love me back! You don’t even know how I feel!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis8SgIu2qf
I was down-right sobbing now. I couldn’t give a single fuck. He doesn’t love me back and that was all that mattered. I cried softly, letting my hands fall from his shoulders.
“You- You. . . l-love me?” I heard him ask in a shaky voice.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoOm0NgTwS
I choked on a laugh. . . or was it a sob? I leaned my head on his shoulder, letting my tears fall on his shirt. I felt tired. Very, very tired. And sleepy. And fucking heart-broken.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNGP1Ga2jX
“Yeah,” I whispered. “I love you so much.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHc8B2xiMY
My heart ripped when Lucian didn’t answer. He only swung his arm under my legs and placed his other arm behind my back, carrying me in his arms. I felt him say something to someone and we were out into the night, the cold wind touching my teary face. My eyes started drooping and I silently cried myself to sleep in his arms.
* * *
I woke up the next day, feeling like someone slammed my head on a desk and repeatedly kept on whopping my head with a metal spatula, drowning me and then throwing me into a bed. I looked around to see I was in Lucian’s bed.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnowUBNdpB
“Holy Goddess of lesbians,” I groaned. I was still in my outfit from yesterday but my socks and shoes were removed. The first three buttons of my shirt were unbuttoned but other than that, nothing else.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSxwdm1cTN
The smell of pancakes wafted through the air and into my nose. I looked around and saw the beautiful, lovely, fascinating, pain-killers. I quickly swallowed them with some water and got out of the bed, holding the wall for balance. I walked into the bathroom and showered quickly.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb60wLKQcyu
I felt like I wasn’t remembering something. I remembered drinking, a lot, and then Lucian dragging me to the dance floor and. . . then. . . ugh! I can’t remember!
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljG1BJpMOD
Damn, that alcohol really got to me.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2KMynVkp7
I changed into some comfy clothes and I walked downstairs, still feeling as if something wasn’t right.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy2iaBgvp3
I saw Lucian plating the pancakes and pouring gallons of Nutella on them.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIc9ODYI7b
“Hey Luce!” I greeted him, with a smile.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ma5EZDGOe
He returned my smile, a bit tight-lipped. “Hey, good morning.” An unsure, questioning look was in his eyes.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbzLts4z8p
“What’s wrong?” I asked in confusion. I walked towards the fridge to get some orange juice.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G4DPwGOSA
“You really don’t remember?” he asked, sounding frustrated and disappointed. But why was he like this? I poured juice into the glass and lifted it up.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHamkmmIId
“Remember wha–”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEZ9OCRPlW
A flurry of memories hit me in the head and I slammed my glass on the table, some of the juice spilling onto the marble top. My whole body started trembling and I leaned onto the countertop for support. My breathing started to elevate a little, I could feel my eyes darting back and forth.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnF6m4Eckx
“L-Lucian, I- I-” I sputtered, not knowing what to say. Should I lie?
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSWBdjVn3g
Yes, I should.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PN8s5Ylh9
“I was drunk!” I yelled, interrupting whatever he was going to say, “I- I- didn’t mean what I said! I was- I was not in a clear mind! It was just- It was the alcohol. I- I’m not- I’m not in love with you?” I mumbled the last part, sounding unconvinced myself.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydfd0FLckz
I had to get out of here real quick until I could formulate a convincing lie and a proper plan. I wordlessly speed-walked to the door and just as my hand was on the door knob I was spinned around by my shoulders and pinned to the wooden surface. I didn’t look up, avoiding Lucian’s eyes.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bZSZzh2ku
“You were drunk,” he said, gripping my jaw hard and making me look at him. “But you weren’t that drunk. You knew damn well what you were saying and it wasn’t your tongue or the alcohol doing shit. Don’t lie to me, Ethan.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiYHvGM6jz
“I’m not lying,” I choked out.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvoa0T2ljM
“But your fingers always twitch when you’re lying,” he pointed out smugly. I glanced down to see my fingers were indeed shaking, violently. “Don’t you dare lie to me Ethan, I’ve been your best-friend for ten years. I know you.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2E2lZHZBY
I clenched my fists and let out a shaky breath, deciding to give up. I might as well do it here and now so that I could end this shit-show of me hopelessly loving him and him not even knowing it.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4xyYqNyIw
“Fine,” I breathed. “Fine. I do love you. Have been for seven whole years. I meant what I said.” I looked up at him, staring into those pretty eyes. “I meant each and every single word. I fucking love you Lucian.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto7cQTTnLs
Those eyes looked startled and. . . . happy? I don’t even know anymore.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcyU04YUNB
“Look, I understand if you’re weirded out or something,” I began, “but please Lucian, don’t leave me. I only have you, I don’t want to lose you. I love you, romantically, yes, but I also love you because you’re my best-friend and I–”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgbJIZuTuT
I was cut off by Lucian kissing me on the lips. I let out a surprised yelp and tried to push him away but he only grabbed my hands and pinned them beside my head.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnU7YMetI0
What is happening? Did I get so wasted yesterday that I died and now I’m in heaven? Oh Lord, heaven feels so nice—
I FUCKING CAN’T BELIVE HE’S KISSING ME! HE’S KISSING ME! MY BEST-FRIEND IS KISSING ME–
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr201LJ8xus
My internal crisis was interrupted by Lucian licking my bottom lip, asking for entrance. I gave in to him and opened my mouth, feeling his tongue entwine with mine. I responded back to the kiss with equal passion, ripping my wrists off his hold and gripping the soft hair at the back of his head. One of my hands went to his shoulders and pushed him closer to me, my back pressed against the door.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheTs2UUPFH
We broke the kiss to get enough air and breathed hard, our exhales coming out in harsh pants.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjSBSubsRh
I leaned my head against the door, clenching my eyes shut, “Fuck, shit, give me a minute. I can’t think straight.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oeSLYLL3t
Lucian let out a small laugh, “Yeah, no shit sherlock. You’re gay as a fucking pancake. You’re bendy and you taste nice.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7koIIXF18J
We both burst into hysterical laughter, collapsing to the floor, still holding each other. We laugh a lot.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzTCeQ7bxt
“Does this mean you like me back?” I asked with hope.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9ui8iUOav
“Boy, I don’t like you,” he replied. My heart stopped beating. “I fucking love you!” Holy fuck, I died for a second there.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGticb0cV5
A bright grin was etched on his face and I grinned with him, unable to stop myself.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOecYJaM4Yz
He loves me back.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpbAoaoEuD
I grabbed his neck and kissed him again, this time slow and sweet. I felt like I was still drunk when he kissed me back. This man’s gonna kill me.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtfwgYwPRF
“I love you best boy friend,” I said.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKj5EDzNC4
“What?” he asked in amusement.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCGTHXz52v
“Boyfriend and best-friend and bam! Best boy friend!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4YadQuMzD
He laughed and looked at me with so much love in his eyes and he replied, “I love you too, best boy friend.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfzEt6XULN
I felt so fucking HAPPY! It’s like I was gonna burst out of joy and I love it. I really, really love it. Just as much as I love Lucian.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJH1soVeNk
“Um, Ethan?” Lucian asked.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iA1sauHVS
“Yeah?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nHs9dCKz1
“Like, uh, no homo though, right?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTxhseFBJl
I stared at him, gawking, but he started laughing like a choking pterodactyl and I joined him a few moments later. Even if we love each other romantically, one thing will stay the same. Lucian is my annoying best-friend and I fucking love him.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlZlmpQ5AQ
Hm, guess that’s two things.
