HIDDEN MESS ━━

ANTHONY DID LISTEN INTENTLY TO ETHAN RAMBLE HIS HEART OUT about a topic he seemed to be so incredibly interested in as best as he could. However, there was a problem that was making this really difficult to succeed. Ethan was beautiful. The cutest smile with a set of adorable light brown eyes that complimented his darker hair. He didn't want to admit he was definitely staring at the boy because he knew he was, and he seemed to be a horrid mess in hiding it aswel.

It was more as if he was getting psychology class from a really cute teacher. He never followed psychology though, he definitely did not intend to follow it as a major either. Nonetheless he loved listening to Ethan rambled about a topic he had clearly interested himself in, it was actually kind of cute to see.

Maybe Anthony liked having an excuse to stare at Ethan without it coming across as if he was a lovesick puppy. Ethan and Anthony would never become a thing. Anthony had nothing against gay people, he was pretty sure Miguel was bisexual himself. But he could never be gay, that just felt odd. It was wrong to like guys, there was this deep uncomfortable feeling that rose deep inside of his stomach every time he thought about the possibility of him actually loving a guy like his dad loved his mom.

Loving should never be a wrong, but he couldn't help but feel this turn of disgust fill with him whenever he thought about it. Strangely enough he only had this with himself, maybe that was embarrassing even. He didn't mind other people who liked the same gender, as long as it was not him. He couldn't possibly be gay.

There came a knock on the door which caused Ethan to halt his uninterrupted rambling. Anthony felt startled but quickly composed himself to answer, "Yeah?" He called out.

Behing the door stood his dad, "Hey you kids need anything?" Was the question that followed. Anthony thought for a second, gathering the courage to lock eyes with Ethan again. "I- Umh- D'you want anything?" He stammered out.

Anthony felt his face heat up in a million different ways, he mentally shot himself in the head. Who stammers that embarrassingly?! Ethan looked up but shook his head gently, "No- No, Umh.. water would be helpful though." The boy spoke with a soft tone which Anthony returned in the most awkward way possible. He didn't even know why he was acting like a stupid teenage girl in the movies whenever they talk to their life long crush, he was merely friends with Ethan.

He couldn't be gay, he wouldn't be.

"U-umh a bit of water and maybe some M&Ms!" Anthony called out to his dad, you could faintly hear the father chuckling before he said okay. M&Ms happened to be Anthony his all time favourite snack ever since he was a little kid, Daniel wasn't even surprised when that was the first thing that he said.

Ethan perked up at that mention, "Are you an M&M person?" He asked biting away the smile that chewed its way on his lips. Anthony blushed when he felt the eyes of Ethan linger on his face but nodded quickly, trying to brush off how incredibly flustered he was. He had no idea why he was so flustered and he was worrying himself about it.

"U-uh yeah! Yeah, been my favourite ever since like kindergarten." Anthony replied with a small grin on his lips. Ethan nodded, "Great choice." He spoke in a playful tone, Anthony nodded and turned back to the paper as he tried to force his body to have less redness peaking out of his skin.

A few minutes later Daniel came back into the room with two glasses of water and three bowls filled with all types of different M&Ms. They both thanked him and Daniel was gone as quick as he had came into the room. Ethan had to be honest, he was envious of Anthony. He seemed to have such a cool, perfect life with parents that were actually home most of the time. It bothered him that he was envious, but he was.

They both continued their project, well that was until Ethan accidentally fell asleep on the paper. Anthony freaked, how could one be so adorable when sleeping? Maybe he should have also been worrying about his project but if he was honest he wasn't, he was worried about how he would ever wake someone with the cutest cheeks on the planet.

He was down bad, really bad.
