I rest my head against his bare chest, my hands wrapping around his smooth back. I look up to see him smile at me, while he plays with my hair. I reach for his neck to pull him down a bit, and go in for a kiss. His warm lips, sweet like nectar, touching mine. Without pulling back, he softly holds me up against the wall, making me lift the back of my feet a bit to reach. But I don't care. At this moment, I have no problems. He stops kissing my lips, but starts again from the neck, all the way down to my belly button. My pants are still on, and so are his. He goes back up and kisses me again, then pulls back to look at me straight in the eyes, without his glasses. I don't even remember when he took them off.

"Can I?" his breath smells like mint. Cute.
"you mean...," I dart down quickly, and look back up to his flawless face.
"It's up to you my love." his hands intertwine with mine like the first time he was in my room. Even though there isn't much difference from last time, this was better. No doubt about it. I take in a deep breath, and nod, like the moon in the sky did.

...

"Thank you so much for letting him hang out at your house, he always asks and I happened to have time. Thank you!" Simon's mom had a pastel pink lip gloss slapped on her lips last minute. I can tell its last minute by how sloppy it is, I think I even saw some on her tooth. But in all seriousness, she has the potential to be a hot model. I don't think she's hot, cause, duh. That was from my mom's gossip in the salon with "the girlfriends". Hah.

"Oh anytime Diana! You are welcomed to drop him off here anytime you like! With a heads up first of course!"

Simon's mom is literally the opposite of my mother, but they are super good friends. Like me and Simon...
I wave Simon a goodbye and a smile. The glares on the lens of his glasses are  covering his real eyes, such a shame really. But I saw him close up already. Very close. Oh my god.
"So..." my mom wraps her arm around my neck as we walk down the rock pathway to our porch. "Did you and Simon have fun? You guys did anything cool?"
I feel as if she suspects something, I may be over reacting but it's okay. I'm not gonna crack. "We just played Jenga and listened to music. It was fun."
"You guys played Jenga?" the smirk on her face is really bothering me. What does this lady know.
"Yeah mom"
"Well that's interesting, if I can remember correctly, you had let Natsu borrow your Jenga game back during Winter Break..."

fuck.

"Sky.." she sits down on the porch stairs, and I do too. "Tell me what you both did."

He brought his own Jenga set
My bad it was monopoly
Mom we smoked
Mom he
It was
I
"Me and Simon kissed."

She stayed silent, and then just chuckled. She chuckled. Oh my god.

"You don't think I know what you've been up to?? HA. I'm not Diana hun, I saw you both going at it and I just thought it was about time!" I don't know how the hell this is a conversation me and my mom are having. what. "You two did use a condom right?"

...

I always tried planning out how to tell mom I was gay. But I guess she already knew. I wonder if my dad knew too, when he was alive at least. I don't want to talk about it.
So my mom told me that if I ever needed condoms, that she can get some for me when she goes to the market. Of course, I didn't reply. Instead I threw up in my mouth.
I go ahead and grab my bike and ride around the neighborhood. I need to get away, so I can get some fresh air, you know?
Sometimes, I wish I lived next to an observatory, just to see the planets all the time. I love astronomy. My mom says that life is a bore, but I say otherwise. I'm obsessed with theories, physics, paradoxes, brain games, and space. I'm a sucker for Rubik's Cubes. If you thought I wasn't lame enough, now you know I'm a total geek.
I ride to the local park and lock up my bike to a rusty rack. The air smells of smoke and meat. Most of the fire pits are already being used by unique families. Lots of mixed families, unlike mine.
The park has its sections: the playground, the plain fields. the Punic areas, and the forest.
The forest is were in heading, but stop dead in my tracks.
I see a little a boy, no older then 5, playing in a tree. But his sweater, no. No no no no. I-I-It has to be a coincidence. Right?
His sweater displays a moon, with a grin, exactly like the one in my dream. With its unique amount of craters, and pale surface.
I then close my eyelids, rubbing them as much as I could, and open again.
Ok, they boy is gone. And soon, I will be too. I unlock my bike form the pole and headed back home.

...

ouch.
I stand up from my dot, and kick the pebble I sat on. I then sit my ass back down again, crossing my legs. The sun bugs me so much I let my head hang down. It's 6th period and I'm still tired. I look over to Simon, he's talking with some girl, except he seems bored out of his mind. She won't stop talking, how has she not gone out of breath? Her hair, super long and blonde, pretty much swelling her neck. Her big plump lips, which can probably please any boy. Her blue eyes hypnotic and shit. I lean my ear a little closer to catch some words.

"Ohhhh Simon, you really know how to be a man. Girls dig that you know..."

Simon laughs and scratches under his ear. He seems oblivious to the fact that she's flirting with him. mhm.

"Thanks Kimmy, I was just protecting my babe." my blood stops dead in its tracks. Kimmy, I'm guessing her name is, seems to be shocked by this statement.
"Who's that!?"
Simon laughs and points at me.
"That's my sugar bun."
"YOU'RE GAY SIMON?"
"Yup. and proud."

Everyone looks at me. Their stares ripping me apart. I love you Simon but oh my god.

Hey guys it's @pugfits here (author), and I just wanted to apologize for trying to make this story dark, specifically in the "moon" chapter. I was gonna make this story twisted and stuff, but really I like making people smile than cry, so I'm just gonna stick with stuff like this. So that shit with the moon and what not, I'm probably not gonna touch it again. I'm pretty much just improvising as I go. And I don't know where I was going with the moon and dreams. I'm not gonna delete it or edit it, since I was always taught that there is no such things as mistakes. idk. I think I was gonna include magical realism in this story, but maybe in another story. Anyways, I'm gonna focus on actually completing this story. also, I want to apologize for some of the HORRIBLE GRAMMAR MISTAKES IN THE EARLIER CHAPTERS. Some of you may know I took some time off during "afraid", and in that time, I was starting to really get into my creative writing class, so these next chapters SHOULD NOT have so many freaking errors in them. but of course, mistakes are
inevitable.
Ok bye y'all. Also thank you ukulelevillan  & JaiaBallantyne  for encouraging me to continue this story! ~~~<3
