Opposites (boyxboy)

After

Dask is gay. Who would have thought? I didn't even know he'd been questioning himself. I wondered how long that had gone on. One thing was clear, he had no doubts about it now. He said he knew for certain that he was gay.

I found it hard to sleep that night, so I lied awake thinking instead.

It must be a relief for him to know for sure that he's gay. I wondered how many sleepless nights he'd had thinking about it.

I wondered why hadn't he shared his thoughts about it with me. I guess can't really complain. It's not like I share all my thoughts with him. Especially how attractive I found him, or that occasionally I wondered if was I gay too.

Maybe I've been lying to myself for some time, or ignored things that I should have taken notice of about my relationship with Dask. He's the number one person I look out for in life and I really like holding him in my arms. The past year I've wanted to kiss him, and there's no one else I've wanted to make out with, other than him, lately. I've always been a little fascinated with his lips and thought he was good looking. I thought the reason I cared about him so much was cause we were best friends and we've been close a long time. And I guess I told myself the reason I messed around with him was cause I felt more comfortable with him than anyone else, and we were just two friends helping each other out. But now I was thinking maybe I was gay too, and perhaps I have been for a long time.

It's confusing to think about.

The thing is, I still find girls hot and I'm not attracted to any guys other than Dask. Maybe that meant I was bi or something.

I wondered what my parents or Derek would think if I was gay, and if they'd be good about it. I thought about how everyone at school might take the news. A whole bunch of negative scenes popped up in my head. Then there was Dask's reaction to think about as well. I decided I didn't want to think about it anymore.

The one thing I knew for sure was, I wasn't going to let anything bad happen to Dask when he came out to everyone.

I looked to the side of me, and there was Dask lying asleep next to me. He'd stayed over the night. My arm was wrapped around him and he had a content look on his face, and a gentle half smile upon his lips. His chest rose and fell lightly to a slow, steady rhythm. His hand was clasped over mine, and he'd tucked it close against him.

We hadn't talked much more about it after he'd first told me. He'd been upset enough and I'd just wanted to make him feel better. So we'd hung out and joked around for the rest of the night.

I moved closer behind his warm body and buried my nose in his soft hair, smelling his sweet scent. I felt myself relax and I drifted off to sleep.

Thank you for reading.

I'm sorry this chapter is so short. I'll probably add another short chapter within the next couple days to make up for it.

Lots of ♡
