Is it love? (ianthony)

Chapter 2 "Blood and kisses"

Ian'sPOV:

"Anthony what are you doing?" I calmly asked.

"Uumm," he started to reply, but before he could finish I noticed his eyes were wet. I looked to his bloody, cut up arm and then to the towel near the tub and I realised exactly what he was doing.

Scrambling to express my feelings of horror I screamed,

"Dude! Wha- Just no!" I probably sounded stupid but I didn't care, I ran to the closet and pulled the bandages out and ran towards Anthony and quickly wrapped them around his arm, that was quickly drenching with blood. I saw Anthony starting to cry again, probably out of shame or something. I sighed and said,

"Anthony, don't ever do that again! You don't deserve that pain, don't ever think that you do either!"

Anthony's POV:

I nodded and blinked back more tears, god that was so embarassing, but I guess I'm somewhat grateful because he cheered me up somewhat. He almost always does. In a way, Ian has been my saviour, ever since our rel- middle school, but that's kinda gay so I don't like to think of it that way. I guess, he's just a really fucking good friend, a best friend.

I glanced at the bandages, the cuts still hurt, inside and outside, I know they will heal though.

"Well Anthony, we need to go to sleep now, and this time I better not be woken up to you with cuts all over."

"Yeah, okay man" I replied, and headed to my room.

"Goodnight" I heard Ian quietly say, but I was too far off by now for me to reply back.

I jumped into my bed and looked at the clock. 3:45 AM. I sighed and pulled the covers over myself. I shut my eyes and drifted into sleep. That night I had a dream, more like a flashback of 10th grade, when I shared my first kiss... but that kiss wasn't with some random girl or anything... I bet you guessed it already. Yes, my first kiss was with Ian Andrew Hecox.

Flashback to 2005

"Come on man! It's not really gay! It's just for practice! Y'know?" Ian said as we sat on my old bed.

"Okay! Okay! But.... how do we start?"

"It's easy! I've seen people do it all the time! I'll just do this..." He placed his hand on my face. "Then you tilt your head and then... Yeah the rest is self explanatory."

I tilted my head and he shoved my face into his, it was pretty disastrous at first, but then it got better, and holy shit! His lips felt like they were made for mine, it was perfect. I felt his tounge in my mouth and I allowed it. When the kiss was over I gasped and chuckled.

"That was... Interesting," I said while blushing furiously, I'm pretty sure I looked like a tomato with emo hair.

"Yeah... It was actually pretty fun!" At that moment he got a call from his mom. Then he had to leave.

"Goodbyee, boyfrieeend!" He jokingly said.

"Goodbye, buttface!" I replied just as humorously. And then he was gone.
