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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMSxHEydbS
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVHfyNhIPx
“Lucian,” I hissed in annoyance, storming over to them. “Come on. Let’s go.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5ooyvzdZ2
He only raised an eye-brow at my visible displeasure but gave in and followed me down the hallways of our school.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5FOlb4LOZ
“What’s up with you?” Lucian asked with a hint of amusement in his voice.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNPDscIS2G
“Nothing,” I snapped back.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4bzjFRS3J
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2hrjV5XMJ
“Ethan! What’s wrong?” He asked, this time actually looking worried. “Did I do something wrong?”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5Azxsl9EZ
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGmMReapvn
“Lucian, let go of me,” I said lightly. “Nothing’s wrong. You know I get sour.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSHz6CKDeR
“Yeah, but there’s a reason why you’re sour,” he reasoned.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzT7OWeLEs
“Well, I can be sour whenever the hell I want to,” I said. “Now let go of my hand shit-head.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxHScBYpAQ
Lucian looked unconvinced but didn’t push further and dropped my hand.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hHkgjFs0k
“Okay then,” Lucian said hesitantly. I smiled softly.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4E84Gd030
“I’m fine Lucian,” I reassured him. “Now come on! We have to get to class!”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFjRU1j2Ob
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbompiXQdDN
“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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT7KzbgAEz
Lucian and I burst into the classroom, almost breaking the poor door, and we collapsed on our seats breathing heavily.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQaK7iy5Ma
“I definitely won that,” I said, panting like a dog.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrIrzTiTog
“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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0KapN1gvL
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGAeD8f6VE
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFisyxeXsR
Since when did he have a mole?
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG58411nWxa
“You have a mole,” I blurted out. “You look cute with it.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrq1ltuNcz
He smiled softly. “Do I?”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyAmkeHGOn
I nodded, “I noticed it just now.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTw725l6fk
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.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPIFmeKPIl
“Well, what colour is it then?” I asked, a small blush rising into my cheek. I looked away from his gaze, feeling slightly embarrassed.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd2OZJhaDC
He turned my face back towards him, forcing me to look at him.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cgVlTxxz6
“Blue,” he answered. He smiled at me, his eyes darkening a little. “A deep, deep blue.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q2HH3vSEd
The door slammed open, breaking our moment.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9OS27koNE
Was that even a moment?
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsMbp7RvzI
Our Maths teacher, Mr. I-forgot-his-name stormed in, looking grumpy as ever and slammed his books down on the table.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIcsz35cCj
He wrote down something on the board.
Page 158 -Ex 19A - Questions 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12. . . . . . . 40
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNQxr6q8gR
The teacher turned towards us, “Do this and don’t bother me! Also, Lucian, Ethan! Get up from the floor!”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhx57KnFzE
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhA2FhfEiq
“Hey,” I whispered to Lucian, whose mouth is currently filled with Nutella pancakes. “What’s the teacher’s name again?”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yWLpw1U7h
“Mr. Tandy.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4xdPBW2qr
“Mr. Sandy?” I whispered, mimicking his lips with a raised eyebrow.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jeIGNv3D1
Lucian slapped his forehead and repeated, “Mr. Tandy.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmSnSMNssz
“Mr. Dandy?” I tried again.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EH0ZLmtX8
He groaned in annoyance and gritted out, “T-A-N-D-Y.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWesRfmslhQ
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGhlTkEcmr
“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.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBaPwgGIOX
A look of understanding settled in Lucian’s eyes. “Yeah, I think we drank that expired milk in the morning.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39fbogJ8wy
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgAcf8RSe6
“Fine,” the teacher grumbled. “Get out of here.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74xjPpVyyU
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8wf5j4HMT
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO9fq6rw9t
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkLJdJnfQ9
“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!”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8IccKTVNk
“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!”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QLX2jVROs
“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!”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wLm7KmJKl
“How the heck was I supposed to know that!” I yelled back.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN8TIsHHWp
“I don’t if you’ve heard about it but there’s this thing called a brain–”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq907XwcAn
“Yeah, I know what that is, but mine doesn’t work!”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQAeowbWHf
“I doubt you had one in the first place!”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqFo8hukTb
We ended up laughing for thirty minutes. My eyes were puffy and filled with tears by the time we stopped our fit.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hPcAf2dRj
“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.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmebY3pVxbu
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.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOGfTjoBLJ
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnwPpcKybW
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9z6vsCYTq
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQfoBEC29i
I. . . . I knew then, that my heart belonged to him. He held it in his hand but he didn’t even know it.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga1veiHdIK
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0TCLzmY4Q
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpvrlk43BS
“Hey, Ethan?” Lucian called, glancing at me before looking back at the road.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM0xIpg6Z6
“Y-yeah?” I mumbled, breaking out of my thoughts.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRFOJDxiRC
“What are you thinking in that pretty little head of yours?” he asked, his lips tilting upwards in a small smile.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYyhZInjNJ
“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.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MDFfA8hut
“At Least I have a brain,” he muttered.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h4mFBqb1Z
“Pardon?”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaCTN6SAie
“You heard nothing,” And then he smoothly changed the subject saying, “Also, Kasha’s having a party tonight. You comin’?”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Dq4mDsnXT
“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.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9KeKL0ycV
Lucian cackled and said, “You know me so well darling.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD9dSM9fde
I made a face at the darling even though I was blushing a little.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOH5sf8KJe
“Zisgasting!”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuDHemPxzn
“But you’re blushing,” he pointed out.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHACxq5Wzpz
“No, you’re just hallucinating like usual.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMmVDq3pIy
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSQRNcgekg
“This place is colossal,” I said, entering the mansion and looking around the dancing people and loud music.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGLES79V5j
“I know right? Come on, let’s go get a drink.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnVKXoayt6
“You know my tolerance is shit Luce.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd4C8hQHsl
“Yeah, pretty much non-existent when you think about it.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9jF0SRUPG
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotWsA9G9tB
“What the-” I stuttered. “What are you doing?”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdByMwiisn
“Sitting,” he replied. “Why are you so embarrassed? We do this all the time.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy2feLtHSN
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUh58VNE3n
“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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIbsahs2wU
“There we go,” Lucian crooned at me. “Loosen up Ethan, it’s a party.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFcbaA7UXB
“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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLBmh5Ryp3
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QNCQwFZmt
He chuckled, looking only slightly tipsy. “What did I do now?”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2opBvVJZoI
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!”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTJccBI9WX
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOWhxLQDen
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K9bRVqfVP
“Yeah,” I whispered. “I love you so much.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RSt2BtEpO
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X3nC4tuYw
“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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYwK9zoLsy
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF33ZrfKNS3
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!
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6mmEBUQsi
Damn, that alcohol really got to me.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWURRyWS7kz
I changed into some comfy clothes and I walked downstairs, still feeling as if something wasn’t right.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpo7De6Syc
I saw Lucian plating the pancakes and pouring gallons of Nutella on them.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVV4Q6xUfI
“Hey Luce!” I greeted him, with a smile.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK05pVDqbiR
He returned my smile, a bit tight-lipped. “Hey, good morning.” An unsure, questioning look was in his eyes.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4jspUvkji
“What’s wrong?” I asked in confusion. I walked towards the fridge to get some orange juice.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlKYZffPmt
“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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay2l7B5BNM
“Remember wha–”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZpym9bOGX
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcyNoF9hjq
“L-Lucian, I- I-” I sputtered, not knowing what to say. Should I lie?
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTTSxZcPd8
Yes, I should.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89jSE4nuiG
“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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf5SSGATaI
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweBi9UOdRQ
“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.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8dPRYsEOO
“I’m not lying,” I choked out.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh9pLJPZcF
“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.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmUEhKacU1
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RvJfrl9sr
“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.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbBtkVXLGe
Those eyes looked startled and. . . . happy? I don’t even know anymore.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7Xgvqu4xR
“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–”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vgjgc4Ed7
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaQqTQk6oE
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–
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGbjZFbE09
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB9BanJQsX
We broke the kiss to get enough air and breathed hard, our exhales coming out in harsh pants.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX0fpKXKP9
I leaned my head against the door, clenching my eyes shut, “Fuck, shit, give me a minute. I can’t think straight.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGIUYMCxSd
Lucian let out a small laugh, “Yeah, no shit sherlock. You’re gay as a fucking pancake. You’re bendy and you taste nice.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo7m2hWEuw
We both burst into hysterical laughter, collapsing to the floor, still holding each other. We laugh a lot.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA94xnkA02P
“Does this mean you like me back?” I asked with hope.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhKqpZ6LJ4
“Boy, I don’t like you,” he replied. My heart stopped beating. “I fucking love you!” Holy fuck, I died for a second there.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nZHh6qxYf
A bright grin was etched on his face and I grinned with him, unable to stop myself.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfCZmwkHXi
He loves me back.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd2lAu4tQg
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDCzzl08m7
“I love you best boy friend,” I said.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKfNuXte9a
“What?” he asked in amusement.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozBAszlZV3
“Boyfriend and best-friend and bam! Best boy friend!”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHWQwrt9Yp
He laughed and looked at me with so much love in his eyes and he replied, “I love you too, best boy friend.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVTBbFUxub
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OIKxcWeJg
“Um, Ethan?” Lucian asked.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jeyEpwnv3
“Yeah?”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0CYpSKBLJ
“Like, uh, no homo though, right?”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyuaBmxbUQ
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwwOdANsjJ
Hm, guess that’s two things.
