The Dream Boy (BoyxBoy)

Matthew

I sigh, looking at my suit, it's slowly getting sticky from the soda. It's gonna be hard to wash this out. Rich went to go get me a drink, I think.

"I'll be right back," he says running off somewhere but not before he leaves his suit behind on the chair beside me.

I feel like the night is ruined. I mean I can still dance with Rich but I'm just so upset right now. The tissue that I have is crumbling as I try to rub off some of the soda. It makes it even messier and I get even more frustrated.

The band in the stage is starting another song. Like a lower pitched version of Can't Take My Eyes Off You.

"You're just too good to be true

Can't take my eyes off of you"

My friends all look to the stage, their eyes widen. They quickly tap me on the shoulder and points to the stage.

"You feel like heaven to touch

I wanna hold you so much"

It's Rich. He's on stage. And he's singing. He's looking at me while singing. He's singing to me. My mouth drops and I laughed softly.

"At long last love has arrived

And I thank god I'm alive"

My friends gesture me to come to the dance floor again. I stand up and start walking with my hands covering my mouth and I just have the widest grin. The people give way for me.

"You're just too good to be true

Can't take my eyes off of you"

The song builds up for the chorus and Rich jumps down from the stage holding on to the wireless mic and approaches me before belting out to the chorus.

"I love you, baby!

And if it's quite alright

I need you, baby

To warm my lonely night

I love you, baby

Trust in me when I say"

I start tearing up as he holds my hand and squeezes it tightly.

"Oh, pretty baby!

Don't let me down, I pray

Oh, pretty baby

Now that I found you, stay

And let me love you, baby

Let me love you!"

He hands the mic back to the singer on stage and faces back to me. He laughs nervously and I pull him close and wrapped my arms around him and he returns the gesture. The other people were applauding us (or just him, I think). I'm sniffling and laughing on how ridiculous he is.

Once we break from the guy, two students approached us. One of them looked familiar.

"Cate?" Rich says. Cate. I think I see her at the library sometimes.

She and the other student are carrying two crowns with two white long silks. She smiles at us. In her other hand she's holding a microphone

"Ladies and Gentlemen, we are glad to announce our Prom Kings for tonight" she says to the microphone and everyone started cheering again.

"What? Wait, are you serious?" Rich asks, his voice cracks.

I think even Rich didn't anticipate this.

"Yes, we've never seen anything like that before," Cate says, "It was beautiful and nice and romantic, so it is only right for the both of you to have these."

"We actually made 2 sets of crowns and tiaras and sashes for these kind of outcomes" she followed.

We both looked at each other, holding hands as they made us bow so they can put the crowns on our heads and the sashes around our shoulders.

"Oh god, oh jeez," I laugh nervously," thank you so much," I told her and she smiles and nods as she backs away and starts clapping herself.

Both of us grinning from ear to ear as we bowed to the other students. I see my friends cheering and whistling to us and I laugh.

As the two of us started heading back to the tables, mom suddenly stops us with her hands crossed.

"Young man," she says to Rich "I cannot believe the stunt you have just pulled just for Mr. Diaz here," I hate it when she calls me that.

"Thank you," her tone drops, giving a warm gentle smile to him.

"Ugh, mom. Can you stop trying to scare my boyfriend?"

She laughs and Rich blushes. She puts a hand on his shoulders before letting us go back to our table. She really has a soft spot for me and I guess she's already developing a soft spot for Rich.
