Steve begins to walk towards the comedy section, and I follow in behind him.

"So what comedies have you watched?" Steve asks me. Probably just to get an understanding of what I like in comedy.
   "Well uh none actually I've never watched comedy.I've always been more into gore and horror." I reply with a slight smile trying to cover up the fact that I am embarrassed to say that I've never watched comedic films before.
    "Well there's, "Crimes of the heart" which is pretty good, and "about last night" which is a little bit romantic, more of a romantic drama comedy. And then there's wise guys with Danny Devito." He began to list a few. I didn't really like much of those.

"Can we go back to Horror maybe?" I ask
      "Surely."

  We walk over to the back of family video where the horror section is.

  "Okay so here are some of the not as well known horror movies." He says with a smile

"Okay."
       "There's "killer party", man hunter, and slaughter high."
     "I'll take killer party. are there anymore good ones?" I ask trying to keep the conversation going.

   "Oh yes definitely, like "dead end drive in" that's a pretty good one, Robin dragged me to go see it in theaters. Mainly because it was set in the future but it's about these teenage lovers who get trapped in a drive in prisoners authority in the 1990s."  Steve begins to blab about how good this movie is. And how he actually quite enjoyed it. It was really cute.

I decided that two movies were, enough and Then we went to the checkout.

"So do you wanna come over and watch a movie sometime?" I ask Steve, I didn't say it but I really wanted to hang out with him again. Even if we only get high and watch movies.

Steve seemed a bit hesitant. I'm not sure why. But then after maybe 30 seconds of awkward silence he finally answered.

Steves pov:

I can't be hanging out with Eddie, I just can't. I'm not gay! Those three words lingered around in my mind. "I'm not gay" but Eddie looks so sad. I don't want him to be sad, not because I like like him or anything just out of not being an asshole. and so I reply.

"Yeah definitely, Maybe you could come over to my house sometime and we can watch some." I say to him, and his face immediately lights up.

"I'd love to!!" He was ecstatic. But then something else happened, he hugged me. Like leaned over the counter and gave me a hug. I didn't mind it for some reason though. If someone else did it I probably wouldn't have the same feelings about it.

"Tonight at 7:30?" I say trying to break the weird silence between us, it wasn't awkward silence but more like "AHH OH MY GOD I CANT THINK STRAIGHTTT." Kind of silence. 

"okay! That sounds great to me." Eddie said. Totally reciprocating those same feelings I had shared.

"See you later!" Eddie and I said our goodbyes, Eddie practically skipping out of the store. And me running to go tell Robin what I just experienced.

I burst the "Employe's only" door wide open.
And I unintentionally scare Robin.

  "ROBINNNNN"
   "YES DINGUS?"
         "I HAVE A DATE WITH EDDIE."
                "FINALLY,STEVE YOU'VE FOUND SOMEONE,IM SO PROUD OF YOU. AWW MY LITTLE STEVIE HAS GROWN UP."  Robin yells excitedly, and at the end she fakes whipping a little tear off of her cheek. That obviously isn't there.
