Henry's PoV:

I picked up the phone. "Hey, babe, what is it?" I saw William make a face when I started talking to Jelena. Or rather when I said babe. "WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE ALL NIGHT, HUH?!", Jelena snapped from the other side of the phone, "DON'T YOU DARE TELL ME, THAT YOU FUCKED!"

I stared at William, perplexed. "F-fucked? What the- Don't you think you're overreacting? We just both fell asleep yesterday", I explained. "Of course! As if I trust you, Henry! I always knew you were into this weirdo!", she kept yelling at me. Overwhelmed with the situation, I searched for words while still looking at William for help. "Jelena, calm down, please! Why are you like this right now?"

Jelena sighed agressive. "Why am I like what? You just can't stay at the house of your best friend! Don't you think that this is making you a little bit gay?! Just a tiny bit?"

"Jelena... You know that I can end... this at any moment? You know how it is about us at the moment. And you also-"

All of a sudden, William came over to me and took my phone. "H-hey, what are you doing?", I protested, trying to get my hands on my phone again, but William was too big.

"Now listen, you little piece of shit. First things first, we haven't slept together, right? Second, stop overreacting. Whats wrong with you? Like Henry said, we just fell asleep. And last but not least: SHUT THE FUCK UP." Then he ended the call.

Wide-eyed looked at him. "Are you crazy or something? Y-you just roasted my fucking girlfriend!" William crossed his arms smugly across his chest. "I don't think she will be your girlfriend for much longer. I had no idea how toxic she is", he countered.

I massaged the bridge of my nose. "Well, uh... Okay, you're sort of right. Things with Jelena and I have been getting out of hand for a while now. I don't now if I... really should break up with her. I want but... I can't." William sighed. "Where's the problem?", he asked.

"I don't want to hurt her", I muttered.
William snorted in amusement. "Awww, someone must be very sensitive there, huh?", he smirked, "Trust me, you won't hurt her, she's acting like a fury. She would rather be happy to hear that."

"That hurted", I grumbled, but it actually didn't. I mean, William was right. Jelena would be glad if I told her to break up. Then she finally could make the shit she wanted to do or whatever.

"So... Are we gonna eat now?", William snapped me out of my thoughts and finally gave me my phone back. I nodded.

He walked back to his place and sat down. "And now no one bothers us."

William's PoV:

Henry and I put the dishes in the dishwasher. "And what are we going to do now?", I questioned. Henry replied, "Why are you always the one who asks? You're asking to much." "Maybe because you interests me", I admitted. Then I flushed after I realized what it must sounds like. "Uh, wait... Urgh, you know what I mean, right?"

Henry chuckled. "Yeah, I know. But we can... Man, I have no idea. We can play 'Would you rather'-", he suggested, scratching the back of his head.

"We can. Should we play in the living room?", I asked smiling. Henry nodded.
"We always played this when we were young. On school trips", I remembered. "Who didn't?", Henry returned.

As we entered the living room Henry hopped on the couch, grabbed a pillow and started cuddling with it. I smiled at him.
"Now come here", he urged. I also sat down on the opposite of him.

"I start", Henry determined. "Would you rather... have a pause or a rewind button in your life?"

I thought for a moment, then I answered, "A pause button." "And why?", Henry asked. "Because when you know it's your last day, your last hour, your last minute with a person you really like, you can stop and stay a bit", I explained.
'When I could, I would pause right now.'

Henry raised his eyebrows. "I didn't think you'd think so deep. But anyways, now it's your turn."
'What is a good question?', I pondered.

"Would you rather die before or after your partner?"
Henry didn't need long to answer this, "After him. I want to take advantage of all the time we have."

I looked at him a bit confused. "Him? Why male pronouns?" Henry blushed and seemed to realize what he had said. "I didn't meant- I mean...", he stuttered. I laughed. "So you are actually gay? Well, a sort of?" He nodded slightly. "Yeah... Bi..."

I suppressed a grin. "It's not bad. So... Well. Time to say something", I started, "I'm gay. Well, really gay. Guys, you know."
Henry eyed me nervously. "So... it could be me? I mean, if you're even in love..." He turned red even more and hid his face in the pillow he still held. Also I blushed a bit and played with my fingers.

What the fuck should I say? 'Yes, I'm in love with you' or 'No, don't be worried, you're not the one'?

"Don't be worried I'm in love with you. WAIT, NO-", I buried my face in my hands as my entire body heated up. I heard Henry gasp, followed by a sort of a squeak.

Slowly I looked at the light brown haired man in front of me. "This is awkward...", I mumbled.
Henry ignored this statement and asked: "You... really have feelings for me?"

I hesitantly replied: "Yes..."
"No cruel joke?"
I sighed. "Would I react like this, when it would be a prank? Look at me! I'm like a tomato or whatever!", I replied.

"Yeah... I love you", I said again, "That is the reason, why I invited you for dinner."
Henry questioned again: "Since when?"
I sat there tense. "For about half a year?", I answered. "A half year?"

He looked at me pitifully.
"Oh man, I've never... I really didn't noticed anything. I'm so sorry, Will, I-", he tried to apologize. "No, shut up. Why are you apologizing? You did nothing wrong", I interrupted him.

Unsure I took his hand and looked into his brown eyes, loosing myself in them.
"Next question... Would you rather kiss the hottest boy on the world or... me?", Henry whispered.

"You are the hottest boy I know."
With that, I leaned forward and placed my lips on his, while my heart totally freaked out.

Ah, if you feel bad right now: Listen to this, it really calms me down. <3

(Also I think, this could be Henry's voice when he was about 20 or smth)

Btw, I know tht there are more sexualities than gay, lesbian and bisexual (like omni, pan, poly, neptunic, etc)
