A Very Gay Highschool Story

Officially Dating

Sorry I haven't posted in 2 months, I just didn't have any ideas, and this is just something I felt like I should do now, since I don't think that they've done anything on talking about there feelings wise yet.

Stephen

Tony looked on edge. He kept pacing whenever it was just the two of us, alone. Like he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to put it into words at the moment. He had been like this since what happened between the two of us on the camping trip. Neither of us had brought up the events, the both of us dancing around the subject, wanting the other to bring it up first. It's not that I didn't want to talk about it, it's just that I wasn't really sure if he was ready to talk about it yet.

"Hey Stephen?" Tony called out from a different room, nervousness evident in his voice. "Could you come to the living room for a moment please?"

"Okay." I answered, getting up from my bed, heading for the living room, where a, suprise surprise, a pacing Tony was.

I sat on the couch, eyes following Tony as he nervously paced. He was muttered under his breath, and his hands were in his hair.

"Tony, there is nothing you should worry about." I told him as soothingly as I possibly could. "You can tell me anything, you know that."

"It's just.." Tony paused his pacing, sighing as he turned to face me. "You haven't said anything about what happened when we went camping, and I'm starting to think that you regret it, and I have been too scared to say anything until now."

I look at him processing what he had told me. He wanted me to talk about it. It made a bit of sense to me, since he was the one with the dream of me, and I guess he felt like the situation was a little forced on my part, though I had thought it was obviously that I wanted to help him, so what I did next I did without a second thought.

Tony

When he stood up, my heart dropped, thinking that he was going to leave. But instead of leaving, Stephen walked up to me, pressing himself against me. He hesitated for a moment, as if he was expecting me to pull away. I didn't, and I'm glad that I didn't.

He leaned down an kissed me. I felt a swarm of butterflies circulate from my stomach up to my shoulders. It was short and sweet. I wanted one more. I wanted more than one, I wanted a million more. Long, short, and in-between.

"The reason why I didn't say anything is because I thought you would say something when you were ready to." Stephen admitted to me. "I was the one that helped you, not the other way around."

Now I see the problem. I didn't force him to help me, he willingly helped, but because he did, I thought that he needed time before talking about it, not vice versa.

"I feel like an idiot." I say aloud, though I didn't mean to. "I should've known."

"How could you have?" Stephen asked. "If we're saying stuff like that, then I'm an idiot. I didn't know you wanted me to talk about it first."

"Yeah, but I should've known." I said.

"No, you shouldn't have." He assures me. "Neither of us can read minds, so neither of us knew what the other was thinking."

Instead of fighting with him, I pulled him into another kiss. It was a bit longer that the last one, and I enjoyed it just as much, if not more. Then another thought popped into my head, which made me pull away. I should probably say this now, before I chicken out and live in misery until he asks.

"Does that mean we're..... boyfriends?" I ask, wincing a little at the word boyfriends.

"We can be whatever you want." Stephan calmly stated. "We can be dating, we can be boyfriends, and if you're not ready for either of them we can just be friends still."

"Can we be dating?" I asked and Stephen nodded. "I don't think that I'm ready for the boyfriend label yet, if that's okay."

"Of course that's okay, Tony." Stephen said.

"And can we wait to tell my parents? I'm not ready to tell them yet." I asked, hoping deep down that he doesn't have a problem with that.

"We don't have to tell anyone until you're ready." He answered and I smiled."
