I Like Him A Lot

The Kiss

~Back to Luke's POV~

Me and Alex were watching TikToks on my phone. we were sitting on my bed on  Tuesday after school. "Can we talk about it?" I asked. " Talk about what?" Alex asked. "A few days ago were were on the floor and you started touching my hand I just want to know what that was about." I said. " I don't know I really don't remember doing it sorry if I made you uncomfortable." He said. I shrugged off the thought about what happened. We continued watching the TikToks and eventually went to bed. The next day we ride the bus to school and we see Joe and Donny I'm homeroom and join them. Without me expecting it Alex tells them everything they has happened to him. They both gave him kind pats on the shoulders, kind words, and they thanked me for letting him stay at my house. I was glad that they knew about the situation with Alex because he needed all the support he could get.

~ALEX'S POV~

I told Joe and Donny. I didn't really intend to tell them especially not at school but my mouth kind of moved without telling my brain it's plan. I got home from school and went to the living room. Ava joined me on the couch. "Hi Ava." I said turning on the TV. "Hi can we watch cartoon network." She asked. I nodded and we watched Steven Universe on the TV. We watched for a while and I grabbed my backpack and went to Emily's room. "Hey Emily." I said as I walked into her room.( it was already open.) " Hey what's up?" She asked. " I am making your brother a Christmas present and I don't want him to see me make it so could I do it in here?" I asked. She nodded her head and I took out the bracket and the bracelet that I was working on. " That looks nice." She said as I added more beads on the bracelet. " Thanks I am almost done." I said. I grabbed a small box from a pocket of my backpack. It was an old jewelry box my grandma grave me. I gently placed the bracelet in the box. " Thanks Emily." I said. "Yeha of course Hey do you know how much longer you are going to stay here?" She asked. " I don't know just waiting for my parents to come around. I guess." I said. "Why did they kick you out anyway no one ever told me?"She asked. "I came out to my parents as bi and they threw me out." I said. She looked st me with sympathy." I'm sorry you are going through that I never knew that's why they threw you out." She said. " Thanks that means alot. I'm just hoping they will let me move back in with them so I can get ot of your guys hair." I said." You aren't a problem at all I saw what happened the other day at school with that girl I'm really sorry."she said. " it's okay she isn't worth my time." I said. "I'll see you later." I picked up my backpack and went into Luke's room. I sat next to him on his bed. "Hey how's it going?"He asked me as I sat down next to him. "Good still need to do my geometry homework." I said pulling out my text book from my back pack . I finish  my homework knowing it's wrong. I take my phone out. " Luke let's take a selfie." I said. " Okay." He agreed. I pointed the phone at us as he put up a peace sign. I took the picture. "That's nice." He said looking at the picture. " Yeah it's really nice." I said. I touch his knee with my own and I notice him turn red. I move my leg away awkwardly. He looks at my eyes, and I look down at our legs, avoiding eye contact. Then I look back up at him.Suddenly, without thinking, I pressed my lips against his. " Whoa," he says once I pull away.
