Well I've done two Vikklans and two Meromes so far but only one Poofless... I guess I'll have to change that. ;)

*Roob's Poov*

"I can't believe you're actually making me do this" I laughed nervously, staring at the deadly weapon in my hands. I've only ever shot guns in video games, the real life version was quite frightening. But I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of Preston so I went along with it anyways.

"You aren't a real American until you've shot a gun, Rob" Preston said in the most patriotic voice he could. "I'm CANADIAN!" I yelled, laughing along with Preston. To be honest I was just buying time before I had to shoot the damn thing.

"Okay come on now... I've already put in ammo, just take the safety off now" Preston says as I turn towards the target. It was a little ways down the field, just enough for it to be a challenge for me.

"Uh huh" I said nervously, aiming the gun and flicking the safety switch to ' off '. Oh God this thing could kill me. Oh God oh God oh God oh G-

"Here now get into a firing position" Preston said, moving my body so that I was in the correct firing form. His hands grabbing my waist to shift me sent shivers through my back.

"Now aim and fire" He said, standing back and plugging his ears. How do I plug my ears if I'm holding the gun? I guess that I don't... Well here goes nothing.

I pulled the trigger and the gun pushed back into my shoulder forcefully, almost making me drop it. Damn that was going to bruise. But other then my injury firing a gun felt good... It made me feel powerful and in control. Which kind of scared me. What happens if I start going around killing people or something? Nah, that won't happen. I am literally the Flower King.

"Lets see how you did" Preston said excitedly, taking the gun from me. He switched the safety back on and pulled out the cartridge of ammo, setting it down on the ground next to the gun.

I followed Preston as he jogged across the field towards the target. I doubt I even hit the damn thing, but Preston wanted to see where my first shot landed.

"ROB! YOU'RE A NATURAL!" He shouted, waving me over. I jogged up to him. "Hm?" I asked, looking at the target. There was a bullet hole about 5 inches off from the center, which was pretty bad for Preston's standards but as a first timer- this was excellent for me.

"Goodness Rob! Are you sure you've never shot a gun before?" Preston joked. "Nope" I smile brightly, staring as Preston acted like a fangirl because I shot the gun well. He is so adorable I just want to kiss him. But sadly, it's against his religion so that's not going to happen anytime soon...

We continued shooting the guns for a while, exhausting our ammo until it was all gone. "Are you ready to go?" Preston asked me, loading up the guns. "Yeah" I smiled and got into the passenger's seat of his car.

We drove to this small restaurant with the best stereotypical southerner food I've ever had. After a great meal and a wonderful night with Preston, he drove us back to his empty apartment where we would stay the night.

"So now what?" Preston asked me, falling down onto the couch next to me. His hand landed on my shoulder and I smiled sadly at him. God I wish he were gay like me...

"Wanna play truth or dare?" He asked me, sitting up to turn and look at me. "Sure" I gave him another sad smile. "I'll go first, truth or dare?" Preston asked me. "Ehhh we'll start out easy then let it get hot and spicy later so truth for now" I told him, sitting back onto the couch.

"Why are you looking at me like your puppy died?" Preston asked me suddenly. "W-what do you mean?" I played dumb. Shoot was I that obvious? "You know what I mean" Preston said softly, looking up into my eyes. I had the extreme urge to kiss him, but I stopped myself.

Do I tell him? That I'm gay, that I like him, that I've been afraid to come out for so many years because of the possibility I'll loose my best friend who just so happens to be my crush?

"Rob, whatever it is. I'm here for you, buddy. You could be on drugs, you could be a gay, you could secretly be a male prostitute and I'd support you, buddy. You're my best friend and I love you because of who you are and nothing can change that" Preston told me, his head resting on my shoulder.

"I'm gay" I whispered before I could stop myself. Preston's body stiffened beside me, his head lifting off my shoulder. "W-what?" Preston asked. I didn't dare look at him. "I'm gay" I said again, a bit louder. Mind as well go with it now that the secret is out there.

We sat in silence for a moment. I stared at my hands that were in my lap as a single tear ran down my cheek. Preston's head rested back on my shoulder, his body closer to me then before, as he let out a sigh.

"Me too" He whispered.

I sat for a moment in shock. Preston... Gay? "Hard to believe?" He chuckled and I nodded, staying quiet. "Well then I guess you would think I'm lying if I told you I liked you..." He whispered.

My body tensed, the only thing moving being my rapid heart beat. "Yeah... That's what I thought" Preston let out a sad chuckle that made my heart hurt. He started to get up until my instincts took over and I pushed his back to the couch.

I stared into his eyes for a moment as he laid under me. "Please just kiss me" Preston whispered sadly, as if he thought I wouldn't. "I'd love to" I whispered back, slowly leaning forward to attach our lips.
