I Too am a Him

First Kiss

Nate

Science was our last lesson. I ran into class and there he was as always. His curly hair was perfect and his smile could light up a room. I noticed I was answering more questions then before, the tutoring was working!

After science, we walked to mine.

"Truth or dare," I asked.

Alex looked puzzled.

"I know it's babyish but I'll do good ones."

"Fine truth."

"Hmm," I though for a while, "Do you have a crush?"

"Yes," he said without hesitation.

We played for a while until we got to my house.

"Dad I'm back!" I yelled.

We ran upstairs to my room

"Why don't we go to yours next time?" I asked.

Alex began to look sad and I realized I messed up.

"Oh, sorry you don't have to answer."

"No. It's fine. My mum doesn't support me and she was abusive to my dad and she kicked him out the house. He wanted to take me but she wouldn't let him."

"Alex," I replied sympathetically.

I gave him a hug.

"Anyways come on," Alex said, " I came here to tutor you not to bore you with my life story."

Alex

I'm actually glad Nate asked that question, it felt like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. I had kept it away for so long, being depressed about it and it felt good to get it out my system.

We did some work before Tom, his dad, shouted us down for dinner.

"Enchiladas tonight, hope you like them Alex."

"They're my favorite meal!!"

"Good."

We all talked as we ate, Tom was hilarious.

Afterwards, I went upstairs with Nate to talk.

"So do you sleep at your mums?" he asked.

"Yes but she get drunk sometimes and I have to stay at. Zara's."

"If you don't mind me asking, where are you staying tonight?"

Nate

I sort of hoped he could stay at mine.

"Umm I don't know my mum is out and Zara is going to see a show."

"You can stay here, if you want."

"If I can then that will be great!"

I went downstairs to ask my dad, who said yes.

I came into the room and nodded.

Alex's face lit up.

That night, we put on a movie, it was hairs deciding what to put on, but it was November 28th so I decided to put on a Christmas movie.

"Home Alone?" I asked.

"Yes! It's my favorite."

"Good."

I gave him a blanket and gave me one, so it wasn't awkward. We sat up and started watching it. I liked how Alex didn't get angry if I talked through to movie, of course, I didn't ruin it.

While to credits played,we were talking and making each other laugh.

"Truth or dare?" He said out of the blue.

"Truth."

"Who is your crush?"

I smiled, " You."

We both leaned closer before our lips crashed together. We began to kiss passionately . His hand was on my hair. This was perfect and in that moment, I felt I had won everything in the world.

We slowly went apart from each other and stared into each other's eyes.

"Your perfect Alex," I said.

He gave me a small kiss on the head.

I felt like my life was complete. No.

I knew my life was complete.

I love him.
