NATHAN

I spotted Destry out of the corner of my eye walking towards the staircase. I rushed after him, catching up to him easily and grabbing his arm. He whirled around in surprise, then blinked.

"Oh, Nathan, it's you," he sighed in relief.

"Who did you think I was? Tao?" I asked, raising my eyebrows suspiciously. Destry paled.

"No, no, I just... I don't..." he sighed and gave in. "... Yeah."

"What's up with you two lately anyway?" probed I, playing the concerned friend, and pulling him aside on the staircase so we wouldn't block the way. Destry bowed his head, cheeks turning red.

"I just don't feel like talking," he mumbled innocently. I snorted, not buying it for a second. This boy was anything but innocent.

"Moses saw you kiss Tao," I informed him. His head snapped up, eyes wide in horror and mouth open in surprise. I chuckled, patting his shoulder in sympathy and reassurance.

"It's okay, we haven't told anyone," I reassured him. He still seemed on edge and awkward.

"I was just... testing things," he groaned, rubbing his eyes and turning to lean his back against the banister of the stairs. I crossed my arms over my chest, leaning against it too and watching him.

"Testing things?" I offered when he didn't continue. I heard him gulp from where I stood, and he squirmed awkwardly.

"The other night I was giving him a shoulder massage. It was just a friend thing, you know, but then I started..."

"Getting excited?" I mused. He glared up at me through his dark eyelashes.

"It just became quite... sexual, but only for me. I just..." Destry hung his head, catching it with his hands and groaning with embarrassment. "I'm not gay, but I'm attracted to him. I thought if I kissed him, I'd prove to myself that I didn't like him..."

"But when you kissed him, you liked it, right?" I finished for him. He nodded, kicking the side of the step in front of us in frustration. I rolled my eyes.

"Now I can't even face him. He trusts me as a friend, but my mind keeps betraying him and thinking weird thoughts," mumbled the conflicted boy. I took a deep breath, nudging him in the arm.

"That's exactly how Moses and I started out," I told him. He frowned into his hands.

"Moses and you are different, you guys are obviously meant to be together. Tao and I... even saying it out loud makes it sound wrong. Some things just aren't meant to happen, despite how much you might want them to," he ranted. I shook my head, smiling.

Denial, denial is a painful thing.

"Don't be so sure." I let him go, patting his arm and walking off. Some people just aren't as in-your-face as Moz and I; which is perfectly fine, it just means that we have to give them a little push in the right direction, that's all.

MOSES

I spotted Tao out of the corner of my eye carrying a box of recycling towards the side door of the school. I rushed after him, catching up to him easily and grabbing his shoulder. He looked back over his shoulder, then stopped to face me.
