My Straight Best Friend Is Gay

Chapter Five

~ Dylan's POV ~

"I.. I, hm, uh." I can't get words out. What do I say to something this huge? "Let me think about it." I tell Zander, instantly regretting the words as sadness floods his facial features. He covers it up quickly though and smiles.

"That's fine. I understand." He replies quietly and we start walking the next 100 feet to my house.

"It's not that I don't want to, Z. I just... this is new. I'm just gonna shower and then I'll tell you my answer, okay?" I reply, trying to reassure him and make myself feel less guilty.

"Of course, Dyl. It's fine, honestly. Even if you say no, we're still best friends." Zander tells me with a small smile. I can tell it's killing him to say that, so I nod and smile back as we walk up the stairs to my house. I see my mom's car in the driveway and I know she'll be inside, asleep. We get into the house after we wipe the sand off our feet.

"You can hang in my room until I'm out okay?" I tell Zander. He nods and opens my bedroom door as I walk to the bathroom. As soon as I'm inside, I turn on the water and strip, getting in.

What is going on? I just made out with my best friend. Who is a guy. And I really liked it. What do you do with that? I mean, I think he's attractive, but like, do I really? I only just figured out I'm gay. If I am. Do I want a boyfriend already? Wow, score one for Dylan for getting a boyfriend the first day you find out you're gay.

I finish my shower quickly and wrap a towel around my waist. I wipe the fog off the mirror and stare into it at myself.

Do I want this?

I quickly walk out of the bathroom and down the hall to my bedroom. I open the door and see Zander lying on my bed, reading one of my books. He looks up and starts to smile, before he stops and his eyes travel to my chest. I start feeling self-concious, so I turn around and close the door before opening my closet door. I'm about to pull off my towel when I see Zander still looking at me.

"Turn around." I mumble and he rolls his eyes before turning around. I turn back and grab my boxers before dropping the towel. I hear the bed creak a little and I quickly slip on my boxers and turn around to see Zander checking out my ass. Again. "Dude." I say, putting my arms out as if to say 'what the hell?'. He just rolls his eyes again.

"It's not like I haven't seen it all before." He tells me. I shake my head and chuckle.

"Yeah, whatever." I grab my towel and dry off my shoulder's before throwing the towel on the floor. I move quickly towards my bed and straddle Zander, leaning down and kissing him quickly. "Yes." I say simply. A smile creeps onto his face and he moves up to kiss me again. I start kissing him back, but he moves away too soon.

"I'd love to do this, you know I would. But unless you want this to go too fast, you should get your basically naked body off of me." Zander says with a smirk. I blush and quickly move away. He chuckles and stands up off my bed.

"Sorry." I mumble. "Um, I'm gonna go to bed, but feel free to shower and whatever. I know your parents are home tomorrow, but you can come school shopping with my mom and I tomorrow, if you want." I tell him. He nods and moves towards the door.

"Sure, babe." He says and I blush. That's so weird, hearing it out of Zander's mouth. He smiles and quickly kisses my cheek. "Goodnight." He tells me before leaving my room and turning off the lights. I stand in the middle of my room after he's gone for a couple of seconds before I jump onto my bed, smiling to myself. 

I can't believe this. I have a boyfriend. Never in a million years would I have thought that was possible. I don't know what to think. All I know is that I'm happy. I get under my covers and snuggle into my pillow.
