MAXLEY-idk what to title this :>

chapter 11 (bradleys pov)

I started awkwardly speed walking home. What just happened?! Why didn't I resist?! Why did he... Kiss me? My head hurt so bad and I was halfway back to the gamma house. I sat down on the sidewalk to take a break. I felt like my insides were butter.

"Bradley? What are ya doing out ere'? What happened with max? " I could already tell it was tank. I didn't even look up at him. I was too buried in my thoughts. He got off his skateboard and sat next to me.

"Did something go wrong? Did he hurt you? You gotta tell me, baby. You know what happened last time your emotions were bottled up. " he sat there with his hand on my head. I looked up at him, and he Obsurdly started laughing! How rude! I was having a crisis!

"I'm sorry- but your face is practically neon red, Bradley. Lemme guess, it went well? "

"No! I mean.. Yes? UGH I DON'T KNOW. one second we were sitting in silence and the next he was on top of me! He-HE KISSED ME. and I didn't pull away!!! I'm supposed to hate him! I'm supposed to get a wife and have kids! So why is he the only thing I can think of?! " I layed on the sidewalk and started kicking my legs while holding my face. I don't even care if I look like a baby at this point.

"Baby, when will you just accept the fact that you like the little skater boy? It seems like he likes you! " we sat for half an hour as I babbled about max. Tank would laugh every so often and look at me. We finally got up and started walking to the gamma house. I told him to skate there without me, but he just picked up his board and walked with me.

"Why would someone like him want to kiss a snobby rich boy like me?" Tank thought for a moment, and just sighed.

"You know, you aren't that bad once people get to know you. I mean sure, you can have your bratty moments, but you can also be so cool to be around, baby. " he gave me a smile.

"What is that supposed to mean? " I questioned. It sounded strange the way he worded it.

" you know around when we first met? When we went to that festival because your dad wanted you out of the house?" I had totally forgot about that time.

"Oh yea! What about it? That was the time you got me that weird giraffe-crocodile hybrid stuffed animal!" I still think it looks horrifying, but I still have it.

"Exactly. You didn't even realize once that I was flirting with you, Bradley. I know you don't wanna admit it baby, but you can be so oblivious when people like ya. " I was stunned. I didn't even realize he ever liked me, let alone men in general till he told me!

"What?! Why didn't you say something! You know we would've still been friends if you told me, right? I mean, come on! Your my right-hand gamma brother! " I hit his arm slightly. He just chuckled and put his hands on his hips.

"Maybe that would be the case, but I was still figuring myself out!"

"Yea yea. Whatever. Thanks for telling me, though. Even now, that must be hard to admit. " we reached the gamma house, but we stood outside for a while.

"It gets easier to admit when you finally accept that you feel that way. Cmon. Go get some sleep, baby. You look like you got hit by a truck. A truck full of loveee~." I hit him and told him to shut his trap. We went inside and I went straight to my room. Today was one hell of a day.
