Bromance Gone Wrong

Lunch

Alex's POV:
I make my way out of P.E class shocked at what Dylan tried to pull. How could he possibly think that was good thing to do in the middle of class. To be fair if it wasn't the middle of class, I wouldn't have pushed his hand away. I make it to my locker alone as I think Dylan and Jackson went to the canteen together. I put all my stuff away and grab out a shitty sandwhich that i had packed. I was never an early bird person so packing my own lunch was always dificult to do.
I was making my way towards the basketball court as always, when i feel my phone go off in my pocket. I grab it out to look at it and its Dylan. He's asking me to meet him in the bathroom, probably to just apolgise for what he did in P.E.
I arrive at the bathroom and push it open to see Dylan standing by a sink. He turns around and smiles at my appearance. He runs over and hugs me like he did when we came out to each other.
"Hey Alex, I'm sorry about what I did in P.E, I hope I didn't make you too uncomfortable" He rambles.
"Don't worry about it, after the tention in the locker room, I was surprised you didn't do more haha," I say laughing.
"So you felt it too, does this mean anything?" He questions.
"Only if you want it to mean something," I answer.
He nods furriously and smiles, I smile back and think we both just got what happened. Dylan and I are dating.

Dylan's POV:
Alex and I? Dating? Last year I would of never seen this coming. I can't believe that just last week I thought Alex was homophobic and now, he's my boyfriend. I excitedly give him a tight hug and push the door open so he can walk out of the bathroom. We are walking down the hall in silence. We both have huge smiles on our faces but no words can come to mind. He finally breaks the ice by asking, "So do you want to tell people, or should we keep this a secret for a while."
The thought of telling people scares me. I've been trying to hide who I am for so long, that the thought of all that going to waste, makes me feel sick in the stomach. "I don't think I'm ready tell people yet, it's not you it's just..." I stutter.
"Hey, I get, we don't have to rush anything," he says comfortingly.
I smile at him thankingly, but I don't think he fully understands the pressure of it. See he is just bisexual so people think he still has a chance of getting a girlfriend. Me on the other hand, I'm gay, there is no chance. I really appreciate Alex's support but I need to think more about this. I walk off a bit ahead of Alex and seem to lose him. I hope that he understands.

Alex's POV:
Where is Dylan going? One second we were talking and the next he hurries off like a scared sheep. I can't be bothered to chase after him. I make the desicion to go to the basketball court to forget about what just happened. There isn't as many boys there as usual. I think theres an excursion on today. I see Jackson on the court, toying with ball in his hands as he squirms through the others. I look at the side of the court and see Jimmy sitting there again. He must actually be kind of getting into this basketball thing. Weird. I don't really feel like playing right now and I want to ask him if he understands why Dylan walked off. I walk over to him and give him a wave and a grin. He does the same back and I take a seat next to him on the floor.
"Hey Alex, your not going to join in?" He asks.
"I will eventually, I just have a question for you, but i need to know, can i trust you?" I question.
"Yeah, you've been super chill with me lately, your secrets safe with me," he states.
"Thanks, ok so Dylan and I starting dating like 5 minutes ago," I say " but he walked off as we were exiting the bathroom without saying a word."
"Hmm that is weird," he replys "Did you say anything to him before he walked off?"
"We were just talking about how we were going to keep it on thw down low," I respond.
"Ahhh, I see, he is experiencing some doubts about his feelings, not towards you but towards himself." He states "He probably just doesn't feel comfortable talking about it yet and he doesn't want that to make you feel like he doesn't like you" He explains.
"Yeah, that does seem like Dylan, jeez your pretty good at this stuff," I compliment him "Where did you learn this shit?"
"Cheesy romcoms, they aren't as dumb as they seem," he answers.
"Wow, thats shocking. Well, I should probably go find Dylan now," I say as i stand up.
"Good luck," he says as he turns his head back to the game.
I think Dylan will be at his locker so I should go there.

Dylan's POV:
After thinking this through, its not fair to blame Alex for still liking girls. I shouldn't protest my feelings towards him just because I don't want to seem like a wimp. Oh god, now I've made it look like I don't actually like Alex and that i did it as some kind of dumb joke. I should go find him and apologise.
As I make my way out from the area my locker is in, I see Alex walking towards me. He smiles and waves and I never been so happy in my life to see that smile of his.
"Hey Dylan, where did you go earlier, It took me by surpr-" he stops as i put my arms around him and squeeze. I feel him put his arms around me to and I've never felt so comforted in my life.
"Hey whats wrong? I think I have an idea but talk to me," he asks.
"I just didn't know how to feel about revealing our relationship to other people and I didn't want that to make you feel as if i didn't care," I explain.
"So Jimmy was right!" He exclaims.
"Huh? Jimmy, what about Jimmy?" I ask.
"I went to ask his opinion of why you had walked away earlier and he said exactly what you just explained," he answers.
"Huh, and how did he know exactly what i was feeling?" I question.
"Cheesy romcoms apaprently," he replys.
We both start laughing and for a second i forget that we are both still in each others arms, in the middle of the open. I panicedly exit myself from his grasp and look and him squimishly.
"Hey, like I said, I understand," he says caringly.
"Thanks Alex, you mean a lot to me and I just don't want other people to take that away from me," I explain.
"Well, you mean a lot to me too." He replys with a massive smile on his face. God its cute.
