Bullet Through My Heart - Adommy Love Story

Returned Feelings

(GUYS I AM SO SORRY I KNOW IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE I UPDATED AND I APOLOGIZE. I'VE BEEN BUSY WITH PERSONAL STUFF. BUT I'M BACK NOW. CONSIDER THIS YOUR HOLIDAY PRESENT, I GUESS.)

"Thomas Joseph Ratliff, I love you."

Adam said boldly, however, deep down, he was so nervous he felt like his soul and body was shaking like a leaf. Tommy's eyes widen slightly, then blinked before Tommy finally responded.

"I'm sorry, I don't think I heard you correctly. Could you...uh...please repeat that?" 

Tommy said, his voice shaking. Adam felt his heart shatter. He could practically already predict how Tommy feels about this. Nevertheless, he repeated himself.

"I love you." 

Adam repeated. Tommy's eyes widen more.

"Wait...actually...?"

He whispered. Adam nodded slowly.

The two men stared at each other for a long time in silence before Adam looked down at his feet, his eyes filled with mental pain.

Suddenly, Tommy approached Adam slowly. Adam heard Tommy's footsteps and looked up at Tommy. Adam slowly backed away. He knew Tommy would never, ever hurt him physically, but there was a look in his eyes that Adam has never seen before. Adam's back hit the wall and he was now trapped. Adam started to shake slightly as his eyes filled with tears.

"Go on! Shout, scream, say something!"

Adam said, his voice shaky. Tommy stopped right in front of Adam and gently cupped his cheek. Their eyes locked and they stared deep into one another's soul for a long time before Tommy slowly tilted his head to the side and connected their lips ever so gently and slowly. Adam was shocked, but he couldn't help but lean into it. After a few seconds, Tommy pulled away and whispered just barely loud enough for Adam to hear.

"I love you too."
