And here we are, Ricky and EJ: the aftermath of the letter, it just them in a hallway, no one was there to see what was about to go down.
They just looked at each other not really talking at all because now that they're seeing each other, what can you possibly say that won't ruin this?
"I... I..." At the lack of words, EJ just let out a sigh and got closer to wrap Ricky in a tight hug. "I missed you."
"I missed you too," He replied in a soft tone, his face was deep into EJ's chest, almost crying (almost, we're not there yet). "I honestly forgot about you for a moment..." Ricky didn't feel like explaining, not today.
"That hurts." EJ let out a short laugh, Ricky wanted to let go but EJ grabbed him tightly. "Don't let go, listen," This is the moment, this may end up good or... nope, bad all the way, there's no good side in this. "I know this is gonna be awkward so I'd rather do this this way, still hugging, if that's okay."
"We're going there." Ricky whispered to himself, he knew what was coming, he wasn't ready for this conversation, his eyes started getting wet, he wanted to get out of there.
"Look, I never felt so flattered in my life..."
"Of course, you'd take any compliment given." He tried to make him laugh but who are we kidding? Ricky is about to break down.
"Right..." He was serious, he doesn't want to do this, neither of them want to have this conversation. "But Ricky, the last thing I wanna do is hurt you even more than I already had,"
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath and dropped the bomb."but you know... you and I... us... can't happen... right?" And with that, Ricky started to move and EJ took the cue to let go of him.
"Yes, I know." Ricky said looking down, a tear just fell down, just one single tear.
"I'm really sorry, Ricky, I... I like you, I really do," Ricky still wasn't looking, he was sort of thinking about something. "but I don't think us being... more... would be a good idea... I, I hope you understand, and hopefully we can still be friends, I-." He got interrupted.
"I'm just gonna say..." Ricky finally said, still looking down, not letting EJ see the mess he already is.
"Yeah, anything." EJ payed attention to him.
"I knew I was gonna get rejected, but..." He finally looked up to look straight into EJ's eyes, the boy just froze. "All those calls, all the messages... and now you coming to find me in the first moment I'm caught all alone... the fact that you were so desperate to do it, so desperate to reject me, that just breaks my heart." EJ got speechless, he never actually thought about it. "Bye, EJ."
