Henz had troubles sleeping. He was haunted by his past mistakes and ever since then anxiety drowned him completely, causing him troubles to sleep. He couldn't remember when was the last time he slept peacefully. 

The trauma he had from ruining lives repeated over and over again in his head. The way he texted girls reminded him of his abusive father. (giving him trauma because he deserves it) 

He could not fall asleep. 

Just like any other day, Henz struggled to sleep once again. He decided to go through his phone. And he saw it, a stranger's number. 

"he looks familiar" Henz mumbled as he glanced at the stranger's profile picture. Henz decided to look through the stranger's bio. 

Bruno Marucci. He/him ig. anime boy ig. 

"OH" Henz gasped in surprised. Turns out it was his childhood friend, Bruno. 

Henz hasn't touched his phone for days, he didn't know that a friend so dear to him would suddenly get his new number and text him. 

Henz remembered that Bruno was always there for him whenever he wanted to vent when they were younger. How he missed the good old days with him.

Henz decided to look through the texts Bruno sent him.

Bruno
How are you bro? 

I haven't heard from you for a while

I'm pretty sure by the time you read this
it would already be pretty late. 

I hope your doing good

If you're not, call me and lets talk.

I will always be here for you.

Henz has always liked Bruno, he just didn't have the courage to tell him. Henz sighed. 'He must've have a girlfriend by now since he was always liked by girls' He thought. 

Just then, his phone rang. 

RING 

"hey" Henz gasped he didn't expected Bruno to call him, especially at this hour. Its already 3am. 

"You seen my texts why aren't you replying?" Bruno muttered. He sounded rather sad. 

"I- I'm just not doing good.. sorry for bothering you bro" 

"What are you saying Henz, I waited so long for you to contact me, so we could talk like how we did back then. Would you feel better if you talked to me?"

"I- *sighs* I was just having trouble sleeping.... and feeling loved...." 

It was silent at Bruno's side. Henz sighs in defeat. He didn't want to trouble Bruno with his own problems anymore. a wave of guilt pulled Henz into the void of depression again. 

"I'm sorry to trouble you bro, Goodnight." Henz ended the call. 

Bruno
Please open your front door. 

Henz was confused. 'This is the least I could do for him i guess.' he thought to himself. 

As Henz slowly made his way to the front door, He was reminded by how he selfishly ended the call between him and Bruno. Once again, he felt guilty. 

And the more he felt guilty, the more he wanted to see Bruno. He wanted to apologize. And he opened the door. 

"Bruno I'm s-" 

Before he was able to finish his sentence, there was something on his lips, preventing him from getting air. No, it was someone's lips. Bruno had clashed his lips onto Henz's. 

Henz widened his eyes in shock. And at there, a wave of emotions lighten him. Happy? Surprised? Sad? He didn't understand anything. But he felt as if he was in heaven. As if his problems didn't matter at all. 

Bruno pulled away to let Henz catch his breath. 

They were both breathing heavily. 

Just then, Bruno broke the silence between them. 

"How selfish can you get? Always thinking of yourself. Did you have any idea how I felt for years? When you stopped talking to me, I assumed you were ignoring me. Why didn't you contact me?! I was so mad. The first phone call we had in years would be about you not feeling loved. I HAD ALWAYS LOVED YOU. FOR YEARS. I WANTED TO BE WITH YOU. I LOVE YOU." 

Bruno suddenly let out all his emotions. 

Henz was in shock, tears started forming and flowed down his cheeks. 

"so please don't say that you don't feel loved anymore. I will always be here with you and love you." 

"I-" Henz was in too much shock. He felt happy. Bruno likes him. Henz was overjoyed as he let out tears of joy while holding on to Bruno's shirt. 

"I love you too" 

Bruno calmed Henz down as they both made their way to Henz's bedroom.

Bruno put Henz down on to his bed. "Don't go..." Henz muttered as he held on to Bruno's shirt refusing to let go of him. Bruno let out a sigh of relief. 

"Don't worry, I'll stay here." 

Bruno got on to his bed and they cuddled. 

It was the first time in a while that Henz could sleep. He felt relieved that Bruno was here with him. 

Henz  felt happy.
