The party

Liam and Malik

The rest of the group ended up where they needed and only Liam and Malik were left since they planned to go to the 7/11 and buy some snacks if they remembered their money. Malik turned to Liam and cleared his throat before speaking up, "So, uhm... You okay...?" Liam sighed and looked over to Malik to make eye contact, "Yeah I'm good, just got a little angry you know" Malik chuckled, "A little? More than a little dude" Liam nudged Maliks arm playfully and chuckled slightly with him, Malik did so too and spoke up again, "Seriously though, don't let it get to you it's just teasing. I know you don't actually like me that way you know." Liam sighed and looked down at his shoes as he kicked some rocks. "I know..." He mumbled before lifting his head up again, "Are we almost there?" Malik stopped and turned to Liam once again. "Your acting weird again man, what's up? Is anything wrong?" Liam put on a smile and chuckled, "I'm always fine!" Malik sighed, "Fine, I'll play along. We're practically here anyway, the place is right there" "Finally!" Liam shouted as he ran to the 7/11 quickly.

Malik ran after him and shortly they were in the candy section looking over all the various things they could choose from. "Sour or sweet... or chocolate?" Liam asked as he looked up at Malik. Liam was crouched down so he could see if anything was hidden underneath since according to him you never know if anybody's hiding the good stuff. Malik placed a finger over his lips as he thought. "Maybe just something sour, I guess? I mean-" Liam smiled, "Got it! Sour candy today." Liam started looking over everything in front of him and grabbing everything that had sour in the title then stood back up and held it up in front of them both, "So, which one?" Malik grabbed the candy and held them closer to his face, he shook them to try and see which had more in it. After a bit of testing, he answered Liam, "I'm feeling the strawberry sour patch kids today honestly." Liam grabbed them from Maliks hands, "Got it!" He chuckled as he tossed the rest of the candy back to where he thought it belonged. Liam paused for a second then grabbed onto Maliks hand, their fingers intertwining as he started to run off to the checkout counter with him. Both of the boys blushed but didn't speak up about it as they bought their candy. They walked out of the store awkwardly as their hands stayed together.

Liam coughed then spoke up finally but still quietly, "Dude... I think I'm gay..." Malik nodded, "Me too..." They both looked up at each other and stared at one another wide eyed. Liam let go of Maliks hand and turned his body to be face to face with him, he placed his hand onto Maliks cheek. Malik was still wide eyed and looked at Liam, "Wait are we gonna kiss? Thats kinda gay-" Malik was cut off by Liams lips crashing into his. Liams lips were rough yet soft and tasted like old chapstick in a way. Malik wrapped his arms around Liams waist and kissed him back. After a few seconds Liam pulled away and looked at Malik once again, "Dude- Woah... Are we like gay together now?" Malik sighed and nodded his head, "I think we are gay together now..."
