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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzw4Vi6MH2
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77IVUjCbqt
“Lucian,” I hissed in annoyance, storming over to them. “Come on. Let’s go.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapA7zluexx
He only raised an eye-brow at my visible displeasure but gave in and followed me down the hallways of our school.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwGbsTMQrV
“What’s up with you?” Lucian asked with a hint of amusement in his voice.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGKv3Ryvjq
“Nothing,” I snapped back.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VxS9G4xml
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL4BA3O5PD
“Ethan! What’s wrong?” He asked, this time actually looking worried. “Did I do something wrong?”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2LK6OxhlP
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGwulluQL5
“Lucian, let go of me,” I said lightly. “Nothing’s wrong. You know I get sour.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEntoPTpxi
“Yeah, but there’s a reason why you’re sour,” he reasoned.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UDGR3I9pi
“Well, I can be sour whenever the hell I want to,” I said. “Now let go of my hand shit-head.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutdG11XjFE
Lucian looked unconvinced but didn’t push further and dropped my hand.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVseYmMWCQ
“Okay then,” Lucian said hesitantly. I smiled softly.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfo3y0OMQf
“I’m fine Lucian,” I reassured him. “Now come on! We have to get to class!”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMxoGAoySl
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uUzZdT4zU
“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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E5eHYyzDk
Lucian and I burst into the classroom, almost breaking the poor door, and we collapsed on our seats breathing heavily.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3nTMNGo9v
“I definitely won that,” I said, panting like a dog.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRnsF7pC5b
“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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PQqIgtK4d
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5XCT9vuHZ
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QtgxdzkZO
Since when did he have a mole?
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF5l3OaAoi
“You have a mole,” I blurted out. “You look cute with it.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EWuDIYXCW
He smiled softly. “Do I?”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsVkc0WiuK
I nodded, “I noticed it just now.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77fxjhAMox
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.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDAbpTVt8Y
“Well, what colour is it then?” I asked, a small blush rising into my cheek. I looked away from his gaze, feeling slightly embarrassed.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IDh6B6id0
He turned my face back towards him, forcing me to look at him.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVJ2zskieq
“Blue,” he answered. He smiled at me, his eyes darkening a little. “A deep, deep blue.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPVwCKLrC9
The door slammed open, breaking our moment.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLdBZ5rr5F
Was that even a moment?
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt57frg6Avu
Our Maths teacher, Mr. I-forgot-his-name stormed in, looking grumpy as ever and slammed his books down on the table.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2JHMzc6UI
He wrote down something on the board.
Page 158 -Ex 19A - Questions 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12. . . . . . . 40
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA1mVRaztg
The teacher turned towards us, “Do this and don’t bother me! Also, Lucian, Ethan! Get up from the floor!”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8p0SkEtky
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5kzYe7i4w
“Hey,” I whispered to Lucian, whose mouth is currently filled with Nutella pancakes. “What’s the teacher’s name again?”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXCQ0m4Dg4
“Mr. Tandy.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77oPJueWe9
“Mr. Sandy?” I whispered, mimicking his lips with a raised eyebrow.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcryc769fyS
Lucian slapped his forehead and repeated, “Mr. Tandy.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXsSsElAWY
“Mr. Dandy?” I tried again.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MQHsrABfh
He groaned in annoyance and gritted out, “T-A-N-D-Y.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b2MiNfh0m
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHiwaX0fYG
“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.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKOIKRJsWB
A look of understanding settled in Lucian’s eyes. “Yeah, I think we drank that expired milk in the morning.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38QUvnLvwY
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSafwdmZPO
“Fine,” the teacher grumbled. “Get out of here.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6ZiLfACUV
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukRBvIjXFy
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiytVxq5pvf
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcciGxMyvfz
“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!”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FPg4UPvDM
“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!”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHLfZUptsW
“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!”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYt5lTFCcA
“How the heck was I supposed to know that!” I yelled back.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyWo5pQtua
“I don’t if you’ve heard about it but there’s this thing called a brain–”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcoGiuXxo6
“Yeah, I know what that is, but mine doesn’t work!”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFdbrCuy2E
“I doubt you had one in the first place!”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiS5shUfkF
We ended up laughing for thirty minutes. My eyes were puffy and filled with tears by the time we stopped our fit.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldtbfmk7CK
“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.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VnSF7UN5B
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.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14fQbuKJXT
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSE6mokwfh
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F4Sn5RlND
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJM2SE6zts
I. . . . I knew then, that my heart belonged to him. He held it in his hand but he didn’t even know it.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE1GlWLean
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMpCyb1iiW
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjdW6e9Ksx
“Hey, Ethan?” Lucian called, glancing at me before looking back at the road.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBchAMvPmD
“Y-yeah?” I mumbled, breaking out of my thoughts.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9grTKMTk7F
“What are you thinking in that pretty little head of yours?” he asked, his lips tilting upwards in a small smile.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLAv1IYH87
“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.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb8tpS23VK
“At Least I have a brain,” he muttered.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QR6BxOcLz
“Pardon?”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhQ7Y9j6Yr
“You heard nothing,” And then he smoothly changed the subject saying, “Also, Kasha’s having a party tonight. You comin’?”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE1LxX8Zgj
“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.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqn3Ob5c2a
Lucian cackled and said, “You know me so well darling.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA6t7uam5k
I made a face at the darling even though I was blushing a little.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz1HnAQ7lr
“Zisgasting!”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqu0KwVrqb
“But you’re blushing,” he pointed out.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeW4ErZ1l9
“No, you’re just hallucinating like usual.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv0vsdku6o
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEdhhRHVfQ
“This place is colossal,” I said, entering the mansion and looking around the dancing people and loud music.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWDQxDjX71
“I know right? Come on, let’s go get a drink.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh85pNMsD5
“You know my tolerance is shit Luce.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5VSEY1gKI
“Yeah, pretty much non-existent when you think about it.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaY3GdrpV8
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCduq06cccs
“What the-” I stuttered. “What are you doing?”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bXpxdB59C
“Sitting,” he replied. “Why are you so embarrassed? We do this all the time.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCJFuf6uPW
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiHsdevWVu
“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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVQcVsAlwq
“There we go,” Lucian crooned at me. “Loosen up Ethan, it’s a party.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerQAYNaZ62
“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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhKO2ogaUo
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZWYn9ANbt
He chuckled, looking only slightly tipsy. “What did I do now?”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGqHrtz6Vd
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!”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi0Y9DWdip
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCI8ZFOUMO
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM3RqqhOq3
“Yeah,” I whispered. “I love you so much.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9kXFM4QVx
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59UqrRWtUC
“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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunJOvcRgxi
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUYlClMra6
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!
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDZX0bghJZ
Damn, that alcohol really got to me.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc99tEDMUP
I changed into some comfy clothes and I walked downstairs, still feeling as if something wasn’t right.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTqvZ74c0I
I saw Lucian plating the pancakes and pouring gallons of Nutella on them.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPneczPt6o
“Hey Luce!” I greeted him, with a smile.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTxeAc7kjL
He returned my smile, a bit tight-lipped. “Hey, good morning.” An unsure, questioning look was in his eyes.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OU0cGkzoL
“What’s wrong?” I asked in confusion. I walked towards the fridge to get some orange juice.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGkw9Sy4fe
“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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznJfdKE8SD
“Remember wha–”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbcqjdiEFy
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQefDRtz2h2
“L-Lucian, I- I-” I sputtered, not knowing what to say. Should I lie?
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBAyvDmqFp
Yes, I should.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU68arWiiyY
“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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMB8swathB
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUwbwseUWO
“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.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oBzvdLF1b
“I’m not lying,” I choked out.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U39vT3UPv
“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.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXOwRsQle3
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEF7yVhQq3
“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.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnHnLIXp5T
Those eyes looked startled and. . . . happy? I don’t even know anymore.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07SlByh8Od
“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–”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSGC67mHlX
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVXWFTtQyv
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–
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb1ATvMT1R
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNDc6lrRHO
We broke the kiss to get enough air and breathed hard, our exhales coming out in harsh pants.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctEMR3nSFz
I leaned my head against the door, clenching my eyes shut, “Fuck, shit, give me a minute. I can’t think straight.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuJaoO4ldd
Lucian let out a small laugh, “Yeah, no shit sherlock. You’re gay as a fucking pancake. You’re bendy and you taste nice.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajd7yKhJ8x
We both burst into hysterical laughter, collapsing to the floor, still holding each other. We laugh a lot.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxPZ9zKq2T
“Does this mean you like me back?” I asked with hope.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEh1h0mrI3
“Boy, I don’t like you,” he replied. My heart stopped beating. “I fucking love you!” Holy fuck, I died for a second there.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEEvoHhw4P
A bright grin was etched on his face and I grinned with him, unable to stop myself.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCnVjd8k8G
He loves me back.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqe2m2U8GX
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Qf5GnRH63
“I love you best boy friend,” I said.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCXg3VGAXk
“What?” he asked in amusement.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqOFHYnDEQ
“Boyfriend and best-friend and bam! Best boy friend!”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsIOBYDLFE
He laughed and looked at me with so much love in his eyes and he replied, “I love you too, best boy friend.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLf5fUr97D
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcws9H7R0tv
“Um, Ethan?” Lucian asked.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge9QCi0u6o
“Yeah?”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMjpi8bgYJ
“Like, uh, no homo though, right?”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHhST3yCEF
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoSFp35ouZ
Hm, guess that’s two things.
