Alex wasn't quite the "over" sensitive type, he was good at handling emotions in general. but this time, he felt his chest and throat getting more squashed in, it hurt. he didn't cry, but it felt like he was going to. he couldn't speak at all. "fuck, why's he gotta be so pretty??" he thought to himself, obviously thinking of Simon, who was still terribly embarrassed.

after long seconds had passed, Simon took a deep breath and started walking again. he was frowning and looking down at the ground, to avoid Alex his look. he was walking pretty fast. the atmosphere was heavy, very heavy, and awkward in a terrible way.

it stayed this way until the night had fallen. "why...why don't we spend the night here-?" said Simon, in a small voice. they had reached some kind of clearing. the night was warm, the stars bright, and the cicadas loud. it honestly could have been the most beautiful night of their lives, but this upsetting feeling made it impossible for them to enjoy it.

Alex didn't say a word. he dropped off his stuff and started to prepare the bedding for both him and Simon. when he had done, he sat down, placing his hat over his face and leaning against a tree. he wasn't mad at Simon, only if he knew, but he wasn't either able to talk to him again. he was overwhelmed, by his feelings and thoughts, totally unable to make out what that truly meant. if he liked Simon, why'd he feel so much pain?? it's not like Simon was one who was hard to love...

Simon felt incridebly guilty, he knew he shouldn't have said that. "WHAT-?? A-AM I NOT CUTE ANYMORE??" this question he had asked replayed in his head over and over again, it was too much. eventually, he decided to speak again "Alex...I-...", a hesitant tone was noticeable, but the intention was there, definitely. he wanted to apologize. he began speaking again, this time in a more confident way "Alex, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have...-".

the black haired boy didn't get any time to finish. he's been interrupted by his friend's lips, sticked to his. it was an intense kiss, but Alex separated his face to Simon's pretty fast, which showed how badly the short one wanted to stay like this longer. he  was trying to reach Alex his lips again, but the cowboy only smiled and said "dumbass".
