JANUARY 16TH, 7:52 AM
bruce and vance were walking together in silence to the bus stop. no words came out of the duo's mouths.
the bus finally came after a bit and the two made small talk.
after finally arriving to school, they parted ways and arrived to their classes.
bruce was taking his math quiz in first period. as usual, it was super easy for him and he was able to answer everything without having to overcome any obstacles.
as he was writing down answers, he began to get distracted and daydream. he thought of what he was going to eat for dinner, if he turned off his room light before he left the house, and vance.
he couldn't stop thinking about vance. everything about him was just so cool. bruce thought vance was a bit scary, but after some time, he's just some teenager that needs more attention.
every time bruce daydreamed during the quiz, he would always think about vance and get butterflies in his stomach. he couldn't believe himself.
does he like vance?
bruce always liked girls. he didn't see himself with a boy at all. not that he was against the idea, but he's never had a crush on any boy before.
this feels different from liking girls though. bruce just was so addicted to daydreaming about the curly head and felt like his chest was going to explode from the flutters in his stomach.
quiz was over, and vance was relieved to leave his first period. he was looking for bruce to walk to their next class that they have together.
"hey, bruce!" vance called out. bruce seemed to be distracted though, leaning his back against the lockers and looking on his phone with his airpods in.
vance approached bruce and tapped him on the shoulder. bruce looked up and smiled as he took an airpod out.
"hey, pretty boy. what are you looking at?" vance flirted. though it sounded like a joke, bruce still blushed from vance calling him pretty.
"oh hey, sorry i was just looking through my playlist and removing some songs i didn't want in it," bruce explained, still having a pink flush on his cheeks.
vance peeked at bruce's phone. "what are you listening to?" he asked curiously.
"oh, it's embarrassing... you'd make fun of me," bruce laughed nervously, making eye contact with the taller one.
"just tell meeee," vance whined jokingly.
"fine, i'm listening to the way i spoke," bruce admitted, rubbing the back of his head nervously.
"ohh, by beabadoobee right? she's got good stuff." vance didn't seem like the person to listen to beabadoobee often, but every now and then, her music brings comfort to him.
"i thought you wouldn't like beabadoobee, haha!" bruce smiled of relief and was glad that vance didn't make fun of him.
the two walked and talked together, side by side, and just ignored what was going around them.
every time they talked in general, there was just an immediate spark. the two fit each other perfectly.
even though vance would never ever admit this to anyone, he's felt something for bruce. he didn't really know what.
vance liked all of his friends of course, but bruce was just different. vance only saw bruce as a tutor until recently.
the two finally arrived to their class and sat in their assigned seats.
bruce couldn't get his mind off of vance. he felt like he was going to burst any second now.
bruce finally realized he liked vance. he liked him more than a friend. he wanted him. he was in shock but couldn't show any emotion about it because he was in class, and vance was in the same room.
after school, the two parted ways and went home.
bruce wanted to talk about his feelings for vance, so he headed to his sisters room.
"hey, can we talk amy?" bruce nervously asked.
"yeah, what's up buttface?" amy replied as she sat up.
"i think i like this boy. he's really cool, but i don't even think he likes me. fuck, does he even like boys?" bruce confessed with a lump in his throat.
"i knew it! you like vance, don't you," amy laughed.
"huh? how did you know?" bruce was shocked and confused.
"it's so obvious, bruce. i've seen the way you two look at each other. and congratulations, you like boys now!" amy clapped her hands jokingly.
"haha, very funny. but thanks. i like him a lot, but i think he only likes girls," bruce mumbled. "he calls me pretty boy sometimes, but i know it's a joke."
"hold on- WHAT? pretty boy? he wants you, bruce," amy exclaimed with her jaw to the ground.
"are you sure amy?" bruce questioned.
"yes, trust your big sister. let's go get some boba to celebrate!" amy threw a sweater on and grabbed her keys.
"hah, alright," bruce laughed while walking out amy's room.
