Lover Boy (B×B)

8.|A Kiss: The End

(Brett's pov continued)

"So.. I think I like you." I tell Levi under the tall oak tree near our school. He breaks out into an enormous smile. He begins to fidget with his fingers, seeming to be anxious about something. "Can I.. Can I kiss you?" He asks and I quickly realize why he was anxious, becoming the same once I shyly answer, "Ok." 

He begins stepping closer to me, soon gently wrapping his hands around my waist. We each slowly lean in, softly laying our lips on the others. After a few sweet moments we pull away and I smile a sweet, happy smile. "That was.. nice." I remark after a few moments of us just staring into each other's eyes. "Yes.. Wanna do it again?" Levi replies with a small smirk pasted on his lips. "Yes please." I answer almost too quickly, making him chuckle before kissing me deeply. 

After we pull away a second time, I slip my hand into his and wonder exactly what to do next. He smiles once more. "Wanna come to my place?" He questions sweetly. 

[Time Skip, Three Years Into The Future] 

(Levi's pov.) 

There are times I often think back on that day, the day my high school crush confessed to liking me back. As well as thinking back to that fateful day, I also think back to our breakup. One in which I couldn't even say goodbye... One in which neither of us wanted to break up nor did we say we were going to. No one saw that day coming either.

One day Brett and I were happily cuddling on our couch in our apartment, the next he was gone. The doctors couldn't save him, he had been in the coma for far too long... You may be wondering what exactly put him into a coma, well, I shall tell you know. It was a car crash. Fatal for the one responsible, and later for the innocent. 

I remember the funeral... The smell of the freshly mown grass, the sound of the birds chirping, the sight of the light brown casket, and the tears staining each person's cheeks. I remember how surreal it felt to watch him be buried, to see the man I loved so deeply, so strongly, so truly, for the final time. 

We had just began planning our future. Just started dreaming of one where we could be together for a long, long time. But as fate will do, that dream was cut short. Much too short. Even though it was a little over a year ago, I still haven't moved on like he would have wanted. I can't and won't, at least not now. Not until I can get the feeling of his hand in mine out of my head. 

But for now I shall continue with my day-to-day life, not moving on yet not spending every waking moment mourning, like I once had done. I still wonder how things would be if he had survived. We would be falling asleep in each other's arms right now, I know it. We'd be sharing a goodnight kiss before drifting off into dreamland. 

I must bid you adieu, for I do not want to trouble you with these thoughts any longer. Goodbye dear reader, until we meet again in another time, another life, another world. One hopefully containing my departed love. 

This is my final farewell, I hope you enjoyed the short segment of Brett and my love, until next time. -Levi Andrews.
