You are my strength (mxm)

This Morning

Sometimes you don't want to wake up and face this world. You just to hold onto corner of your bed and just lie down there thinking what to do and how to face things without hurting feelings of others. It's possible but impossible at same time. I don't know if it make sense or not but for me it does. This is story of me, Aryan and of a amazing person  I met that made me proud, confident and taught me how to be myself and not to feel ashamed of it.

Aryan woke up late today because it was his day off.

He was feeling relax today but his dog was not because usually on his day off Aryan takes his dog, Bru for a walk in the morning. He woke up because of his dog licking his face all over and barking at him.

He gave Bru a big cuddle and then went to the washroom to get fresh. When he opened the door of the washroom, Bru was sitting there wagging his tail in excitement. That brought a big smile to Aryan's face. He checked his phone and there it was another text from his mother about a girl she wants him to marry. Aryan sighed, he has asked his mother so many times to stop arranging blind dates for him because he doesn't want to get married but his mother is just not ready to listen yet.

Aryan hugged Bru and said," Buddy, No one in this world understands me other than you."

The thing was that Aryan was not interested in girls, but he doesn't know how to tell his homophobic family about this, and he won't marry anyone to hide this from the world and destroy the life of his and the girl he will agree for the marriage. So, he always tries to ignore texts like this which makes his mom angry with him nut he wasn't ready to deal with things like this. He knew this can't keep going forever, he has to tell his family one day and he wanted to bad but he was afraid of their reaction.

The day was really beautiful today. Like every Sunday, He and Bru were taking walk in the park when suddenly Bru saw something and ran fast towards it to catch it and the way he ran was towards the road and lots of cars and bikes were going through it. Aryan ran immediately after Bru, his heart beating fast now because Bru was stuck in the middle of the road. He was trying to calm down and reach towards Bru when someone stopped his car in the middle of the road, came out and went to Bru and pet him on his head, then looked for his owner, when he was Aryan looking worried, he picked up Bru and went towards Aryan. Aryan ran towards the man and took Bru and hugged him and kissed his forehead. He almost forget the man that helped him, he looked towards the man to thank him but saw him smiling at them.

Rohit has a busy day today, he has an important meeting that he can't miss even though it's Sunday, So he was going to his office but he was a dog stuck in the middle of traffic and no one was helping the dog, he looked here and there and saw a guy looking very worried but unable to reach the dog. Rohit stopped his car, went to the dog, and took him to the guy.

He was startled as the guy jumped and took the dog from his hand and hugged him and kissed him, it was really beautiful. When the guy looked towards him after few moments and saw Rohit smiling at him, he blushed. This guy is totally his type and really cute. Yes, Rohit was also interested in guys and he is proud of this, his family already knew about this because he felt like and knew this is not something to be shame about You should be proud of yourself."

"Thank you so much for the help, I was so worried and you came at the right time."

"Don't worry about it. Your dog is really cute."

"Thank you and Yeah he is."

"So are you, I am Rohit by the way, and you?" Rohit said smiling.

Aryan was shocked to hear the compliment coming from Rohit, It was the first time someone called him cute and on top of that, it came from this handsome guy. He blushed again,

"Umm, Thanks and I am Aryan."

"Nice to meet you Aryan and If you don't mind can I have your number please?"

Aryan was a bit nervous because he just met this person and it was not a smart decision to give someone number you just met.

"You don't have to if you don't want to. It's okay I won't force you or anything."

"No, It's just that it's the first time someone asked me my number like this."

"No girl or ....guy ever asked your number for saying coffee date?"

"You are asking me on a date?"

"Yes, If it's okay with you."

On a date? Aryan never told anyone about his sexuality and has never been on a date or anything.

"But you just met me."

"Yes and I find you cute and handsome."

"What if I am not gay?"

"Then you can say No and also even if you are gay and still don't want to go on date, You can say No. It's okay."

Rohit seemed nice but you can't know someone's whole personality in first meeting, even though Aryan's mind was saying no, somewhere in his heart he really wanted to say yes. And he did.

"Okay", Aryan said.  First time in his life has he done something like this and it will be lie to say if he wasn't nervous and anxious.

"What?"

"I'll go on date with you but I need to tell you that I am not out yet so I hope you understand."

"Ofcourse.It's okay, You don't have to force yourself. You can be in the closet till you feel comfortable telling others. Now can I have your number?"

"Yes. Gimme your phone."

"I'll pick you up today, say at 7 pm. Are you free?

"Yes, I am free and no, you don't need to pick me up,Just text me the location. I'll go myself."

"Okay. Bye, take care. I'll look forward to it.", Rohit said smiling.

The whole way to his apartment, Aryan was rewinding of what just happened. Bru ran on the road full of traffic, A hot guy saved him and he got himself a date.
