Background: Sam and Colby are best friends. Sam has liked Colby for as long as he can remember. However, he has a secret he has been keeping from Colby for years. He wants to tell him, on prom night.
**TW: Cross-dressing!**
I walked into school, the air was buzzing with a calm sort of excitement. Tomorrow was our school's prom. I hadn't gone last year, I wasn't ready to admit my secret. I like to cross-dress; and no one knows this about me, except my mom of course. I was tired of hiding. I needed to come clean. Especially to my best friend: I couldn't keep lying to him--he had a right to know.
With prom being the next day, I had already gone shopping for my outfit. I wanted to wear a dress and surprise everyone. I had found the most beautiful dress, and it truly made me feel pretty. I just hoped Colby thought so too. I have spent my entire life trying to impress him. Everything I did was always to get his attention. I acted manlier and tougher in hopes that he would admire me. And then, I realized that wasn't me. I was more feminine. I like to wear skirts and crop tops. My favorite was dresses, though.
TIME SKIP
It was the morning of prom. Everyone would spend the entire day getting ready for the special night. I spent my morning pacing my room, trying to calm my nerves. I was shaking from head to toe; I had never been more nervous in my life. I wasn't scared when I told my mom, I honestly didn't try very hard to hide it around her. Colby, however, was a different story. I did everything within my power to make sure he wouldn't find out until I was ready. I hid my girlier clothes in my sister's old room. We kept it somewhat intact after she moved out so it gave me the perfect excuse.
I walked to the closet and examined my dress. It was a beautiful blush pink with gorgeous rhinestones littering the tulle of the skirt. I had never seen something so magnificent in my life: it screamed me. I held it up to my small frame. Watching myself in the mirror, I did a small twirl, watching as the dress moved so graciously. I couldn't help but smile; this felt right.
TIME SKIP
My mom offered to drive me to the dance earlier this week, and considering I'd never driven in heels, I took her up on this offer. When she pulled up at the school, she beamed at me that gorgeous smile of hers. My mother really was stunning. Colby thought so, I just hoped he would think the same about me tonight. I took a deep breath as I stepped out of the vehicle. I slowly grazed to the door of the high school, avoiding all the stares being thrown my direction.
As soon as I had entered the school, I made eye contact with the one and only Colby Brock. The smile on his face quickly being replaced with a look of disbelief. But as his eyes cascaded back to mine, his smile was regained, larger and brighter than before.
"Woah... um I definitely wasn't expecting this," he briefly paused, "but I definitely don't hate it."
"Really? You don't hate me?"
"Sam, I could never. I've loved you for years. And only now have I fallen more in love with you." I blushed at the statement, embarrassed that I had assumed the worst. "You look stunning, by the way. I realized I hadn't said that yet."
I smiled up at him. He began to lean in, and so did I. Just as our lips were about to collide, he paused to gain my consent, to which I took the opportunity to close the small gap between us. The kiss was the most angelic thing I have ever felt. I wished I could kiss him forever. It was perfect.
Sadly, we had to pull apart eventually. I put my forehead against his and stared into his beautiful blue eyes, falling farther for my best friend.
"I know this is a little overdue, but, Sam will you be my boyfriend?"
"Yes. Of course I will. I love you, Colby."
"I love you more, Sam."
