"Go ahead." Ryder grins and grabs the ladder.

"If you say so." I shrug and climb up.
575Please respect copyright.PENANAbtojouBv6E
"You better hold it for me!" Ryder yells as he climbs up.
575Please respect copyright.PENANA0vqk2WD6Tp
"What and let you fall?" I laugh.
575Please respect copyright.PENANA0UmckVATdB
We lay out a blanket and lay down on top of it.
575Please respect copyright.PENANANTtt65QQLl
"Wow. These stars are way more visible than in 2025." Ryder whispers. "When we were younger me and Iz would go out and watch the stars."
575Please respect copyright.PENANAPvVWxhoohM
"You miss her?" I ask.
575Please respect copyright.PENANAQlmfbKMTGs
"So much. She's one of my only real friends." Ryder looks like he's about to cry.
575Please respect copyright.PENANAp4OqO5RErx
"Here's a fun question!" I try to shift the mood. "Do you know any constellations?"
575Please respect copyright.PENANAbhURKwwWGB
"I do!" Ryder grins. "You see that square right there?"
575Please respect copyright.PENANAnsUAJStlMZ
"Yes." It's part of the Big Dipper.
575Please respect copyright.PENANABwHJi5v8oa
"Well thats Pegasus." Ryder smiles.
575Please respect copyright.PENANA6IWeY27nCD
I don't want to crush his dreams. "Really?"
575Please respect copyright.PENANAXByQB9AUer
"Yeah! And that's the Big Dipper. Or is it over there?" Ryder points at 2 different constellations which for your information neither are the Big Dipper.
575Please respect copyright.PENANA86Wp8Q2yjd
"You're an idiot." I laugh and I think Ryders face turns a little red.
575Please respect copyright.PENANApX0aV1fnzv
"I am not."
575Please respect copyright.PENANA1uQc7uarUa
"You definitely are." I Point up. "That's the Big Dipper. You pointed at the Little Dipper."
575Please respect copyright.PENANAMbD83PpxYk
"I was close." Ryder smirks.
575Please respect copyright.PENANAZumF3JbyWf
"Were not!" I laugh.
575Please respect copyright.PENANAkzT2bCOIGV
"They all look like squares to me!" He throws his arms up.
575Please respect copyright.PENANAd4GE3xlV6j
"That's a good point I guess."
575Please respect copyright.PENANAz7MjojrJ5m
We'd been laying there for a while when Ryder grabs my hand. I'd be lying if I didn't feel his pulse quicken.
575Please respect copyright.PENANA9OVMZBN0Xh
"I'm going to say a lot of things and I would like it if you said nothing until I'm finished please." Ryder starts.
575Please respect copyright.PENANAfMZKXfjDkp
"Alright I won't. And you know that you can tell me anything right?" I smile.
575Please respect copyright.PENANAODobfogk5J
"Yes." Ryder smiles back. "Well, I'm gay. I like men. And I don't know how to get this out right, but I think I'm in love with you." Ry sighs. "I've been in love with you almost since we've met. You're one of the most beautiful men I've ever laid eyes on. More beautiful than any of my 2 boyfriends. Jackie every time I see you I want to kiss you. It pains me. I don't know if you feel the same way and you probably don't but I told my friends the time and place that we're stuck in to bring me back. I can't stand feeling like this much longer. If you don't like men, I get it. If you never want to see me again I get it too."
575Please respect copyright.PENANA7FTpz543mU
"Ry I-" I start but get cut off by Ryders lips. On mine. They're so soft. So perfect. He's perfect. This is exactly how I imagined my first kiss. Not necessarily with a boy but now I can't imagine it any differently.
575Please respect copyright.PENANAzX1tXGaYdH
Ry pulls away and I think he's going to cry. "Jackie. I'm sorry I just needed to do that before I go." He stands up and starts to head to the ladder.
575Please respect copyright.PENANAwicyP6swhl
I grab his hand. "Ry!" I pull him to the blanket. "I need to tell you something too." I sigh. "I like men too. I think. People say that you can only be with a women but I don't feel that way. I think like men and women." I feel the tears come. "Is it different in your time? Is it acceptable to be with a man? I heard stories of boys being killed because they kissed other boys. Does that happen in your time?" I continue. "I think I'm in love with you too but I'm scared to do anything. Can I go back with you? I'm scared of anyone finding out I love a boy. I- I really don't want to die."
575Please respect copyright.PENANAwN0eH1Zats
I guess I started sobbing because Ryder wraps me in a giant hug. "You'll be alright. You're coming too. I can't leave you."
575Please respect copyright.PENANA8IKkpLWXej
"Does that mean we can kiss again?" I laugh wiping away the tears.
575Please respect copyright.PENANAvD99G8jlzK
"Of course." Ryder smiles one of his goofy little grins and leans in for another kiss.
