Him (BoyxBoy)

Chapter Six- Cuddle Buddies

Saturday, The Next Morning- I woke up to the wonderful smell of pancakes in the morning. I scanned the room and noticed everyone fell asleep in the air mattress, and Dakota... I noticed I was in his arms. All I remembered last night was that I fell asleep on the couch, and Dakota was on the couch too. I felt his arms have wrapped my body.

We were laying down on the couch on our sides. Dakota was behind me with his leg over mine and his arms across my chest so I wouldn't fall over onto the mattress where everyone was asleep. His face was behind my head, lowered near my neck. I felt the soft and gentle gust of air that came out of him when he exhaled. Still half asleep I looked up to see my grandmother staring at the two of us in each other's arms.

"Uh...uh." I tried to speak up saying that it's not what she thinks but nothing came out of my mouth. She smiled at me acknowledging the fact that I had slept with Dakota last night, but it wasn't supposed to happen. She went back to cooking and thankfully she didn't yell at me or anything.

I got up from of the couch gently removing his leg off of mine and his arms from holding me. I sat up and looked down at him. His hair was in with face and I gently brushed it clear of him. Damn he looked so adorable sleeping like that.

My grandmother had went back to cooking everyone some pancakes with bacon, sausage, and toast. I walked over the stool at the countertop and took a seat. I looked down at my hands playing with my figures being extremely nervous at the sight she had just saw.

"I know you like him." She said with her back to me focusing on the food.

"What?" I said in shock.

"I said, I know you like Dakota." She said whispering to me but loud enough for me to hear as she leaned my way. "I've known for a while that you liked him."

"Ho-how?" I stuttered.

"I've seen the way you looked at him. Checking him out and such. It's cute."

"Re-really?" I said in awe.

"Yes, I'd think you two would make the perfect couple together. You two get along so well. What are you Sweetie Pie? Gay, bi?" She said curiously.

"Ga... gay." I said with disappointment in my voice looking down.

"Awe Sweetie," she said walking over to me giving me a hug. "It's okay to be gay. Why do you seem sad about it?"

"I was afraid you'd see my differently." I said hugging her.

"No Jay, never. I love you no matter what. It doesn't bother me one bit that you're gay. You know, I used to have a gay friend."

"Really?" I said with happiness that I'm not the only one.

"Yes really. Remember Roger?" She said.

"Yeah. I remember him." I said.

"He's gay, and he's still one of my best friends that works for the district." She said heading back to the food.

After that I thought about it. Being gay. I accepted the fact that I am but I'm afraid of what Dakota will think. I was still shocked of what was going through her head about her only grandson, the only family member she has near, only to be gay.

"It doesn't bother you that I'm gay?" I said.

"No, not at all. I'm perfectly fine with it Sweetie. I think gay couples are cute. Especially when they're young teens like you and Dakota." She said. "Now, I have to go get dressed before the Wright's wake up. The food is almost done."

"Okay." I said.

She went to her bedroom and I sat at the stool for a few minutes thinking about life. Of how everyone has accepted me for being gay. Except for Dakota. Except, I don't know how he'll feel about me being gay or anything. I looked back at everyone as they were peacefully sleeping from the long night last night. I got up from the stool and walked over and laid down on the couch where Dakota and I were sleeping. Again his hair was in his face and I brushed it gently away from his eyes. I rubbed the back of Mt hand against his soft warm cheek. I cuddled up against his warm delicate body, wrapped my arms around him and hugged him tightly enough to where he wouldn't wake. I placed my head right next to his on the same pillow he was resting in. I looked at his face smiling as I watched him peacefully sleeping.
