The Love That Could Be (H2OVanoss)

Confessions

   "So did you tell the guys yet?" Vanoss looked up at Delirious who was sitting next to him on the plane.

   "Yeah I did. I just told them that I was bringing a date." Trying his best not to smile, Evan looked out the window. "They seem really stoked to meet you, and they don't even know that you're you yet."

   Jonathan laughed, making Evan's smile finally come out. "Well, they better be. I do have that effect on people."

   "Haha. Shut up."

   "Bitch, don't be hating in me." Jonathan put his hands behind his head and leaned back. "I'm a people person."

  "Haha. Ok. That's why it took you this long to meet me?" Jonathan's smile faded away. Evan felt like he was kicked in the chest. Oh shit. I made him feel bad. He leaned over and put his arm around Jonathan. "Jonathan... I'm sorry if I hurt you. I was just joking. I know it was hard for you to do this, but now I'm here to help you the rest of the way."

   Vanoss noticed Jonathan's smile reappearing on his face. "Thanks, Evan. It's fine."

   "Well, babe, I think that we should practice our game plan for tonight."

   Confusion struck Jonathan's face. "What do you mean...?"

   "Well we need to go over our game plan so that way things will run smoothly and it will look more authentic."

   "So you're saying we should practice being a couple?"

   Evan blushed. Delirious was staring directly in his eyes. His confused look was so cute. "Well yeah... Sort of... Only if you want to."

   "Alright then." Jonathan kept his eyes on Evan and he genltly grabbed his hand, intertwining their fingers. "Like this?"

   Evan was so nervous. He didn't know what to do. With girls, he was never like this. He was a ladies man, and he always made the first moves. He had never been with a guy before, so he didn't know what to do next. "Yeah." He tried hard not to seem nervous, but he was doing a horrible job at it. "Exactly like that."

   "Evan, are you nervous?" Delirious had the cutest smile on his face.

   "No. What do you mean? I'm fine. I've never been better."

   "Don't worry, Evan. You can tell me."

   "I just... I've never been with a guy before. It's such a different experience. It's like I'm back in high school again on my first date."

   "Well, you know that that's not the case with me."

   The memory of their old conversation came into Evan's mind.

Flashback

   Evan and Jonathan were in the phone late at night. They were having deep conversations with each other. They talked about their secrets, family, friends, and past relationships.

   Jonathan was telling Evan about one of his past relationships and Evan noticed the tone in his voice change to hurt. "I used to date someone. We were close. We dated for like two years. I was so happy. That person was the only one in my life that I actually cared about. At the time, I didn't have many friends and I was going through a rough patch, so it felt good to have someone. I wanted to not feel alone for once. Even if that ment I had to put up with the way they treated me."

   Evan could almost hear the tears start rolling down his face and he felt an ache in his own heart. "Jonathan, what happened?" There was a pause on the other side of the phone, but Evan could hear the muffled sobs on the other side. "Jonathan, please. Tell me. I want to help you."
