Darryl POV
I held my head low as I walked to the park. I got there and sat on a bench to wait for Skeppy to arrive.
And I wasn't the least bit surprised when he showed up in his tuxedo and mask from the party.
He looked just as stunning and handsome as he did on the night of the party. Even more attractive now that I had gotten to know him.
"Skeppy! Over here!" I called.
His head turned and he smiled sadly as he approached me. "Hi Bad..." He seemed to be avoiding eye contact.
"It's good to see you again but you should have dressed warmer you muffin! It's cold out! It's like the middle of January!" I glared playfully at him, trying to alleviate the tension in the air.
A few moments of uncomfortable silence passed.
I sucked in a breath. "You hate me now that you know who I am. I'm just a gay loser."
"Bad no. I'm just worried you'll hate me because of what I've done to you. And what I'm about to do. Promise you won't?" I could see a small amount of liquid drop through the eye holes of the mask.
I wiped the tears on the mask away, that was the best I could do. "I promise Skeppy. Now show me what you needed to show me."
"Alright I guess this is happening then. Bad, I was straight. Then that night at the party I saw you and you looked gorgeous. Then suddenly I kissed you. It was like an instinct not a choice. Like I was meant to do that. I questioned my sexuality for weeks after that. And I found out I was Bi. I came out to my friends today and they abandoned me. The whole school knows and now everyone hates me. And today, I found out who you were completely by accident. And I felt really bad. I've done awful things to you. I hope you can forgive me for those things. And if not I understand and I will leave you alone. Darryl... I love you." He let out a sob.
I started to piece the puzzle together.
Skeppy reached up and untied the back of his mask letting it fall to the bench.
I avoided looking at the face of my best friend in fear of it being... him.
A hand gently tilted my face up and I was forced to face what I wished wasn't true.
I had to face my bully, my enemy, my best friend, the boy in blue, the mysterious stranger, the boy I kissed at the party, Skeppy, Zak, and my crush that liked me back. All at the same time.
Zak shifted awkwardly, anxiously fidgeting with his fingers. "Darryl... I'm really really sorry."
I didn't say anything. Thoughts were racing through my head. I wanted to kiss him and slap him at the same time. I decided on neither. I had to do what was best for both of us.
"Sk- I mean Zak... I really really want to, but I don't think I can forgive you for what you have done. I love you too. So much. But I can't. I am trying to do what's best for both of us. And my instincts tell me this is the better way to go." A tear slid down my cheek.
Zak nodded as if he had known this would happen, but had hoped for the best. Which was probably true. "I understand. I'll leave you be then..."
"I- I'm sorry. Maybe I can forgive you someday. It may just take some time." I smiled through my sadness.
Zak returned my smile, although his seemed way more... broken. "It's okay it's not your fault."
Zak turned to leave. And I reacted on impulse. Not stopping to think through my actions, now knowing wholeheartedly that this was better. For now. I leapt from the bench and wrapped him in a hug. He stiffened in surprise but melted into the hug, sobbing quietly into my shoulder. As good as the whole moment felt I knew it was torture for the both of us.
I leaned in and kissed him, quickly but passionately. I had pulled back before he could react. "Goodbye Zak."
I turned and ran from the scene. Tears falling more quickly now, I sprinted all the way home and I went straight to my room before I started to sob.
If it was the right thing, why did it hurt so much?
Zak POV
I stood in the same spot for minutes after Darryl had left. I was confused and heartbroken.
I could barely understand what had just happened. Darryl liked me back, but couldn't forgive me. Which I understood. But then he hugged me and gave me a kiss. Then ran.
My mind couldn't process what was happening. I shivered which brought me back to reality. I looked around to see it was lightly snowing and I picked my mask up off the ground and walked home.
As soon as I got home, I changed out of my suit and into my hoodie. I crawled into bed and the tears came. Ever since Darryl had left I had been suppressing them. But now? They couldn't stop coming. One after another until I could cry no more.
My heart ached, I couldn't help but remember all the good times Darryl and I had together.
Why did I have to be such an asshole?
Yay I stopped procrastinating and actually got this one done! (idk why it took me so long this was so easy -_-) But anyway, the title is I'm sorry in Latin uwu I'm so proud of myself for thinking of that one. I might write some more because It's only 11 and even if I went to bed now my sleep schedule is so fucked up I wouldn't be able to sleep for another couple hours. Anyway thanks for reading! I love you all! Cya my children's!
