Black Star X Kid

Confiding

Black Stars POV

"THE GREAT BLACK STAR IS HERE!" I shout while kicking down the door to Maka and Souls apartment, a great big entrance for a great big guy like me! Honestly I hope Soul isn't home, I just need to talk to Maka...
"Anyone here to bask in my greatness??" I call out into the apartment, the lights are on... I hear a slight movement down the hall in Makas room.
"Black Star! At least knock!!! We have a door for a reason!" She calls in an annoyed tone. Maka eventually makes her way to the front door wearing a baggy yellow sweating and pink pyjama shorts.
"KYAHAHA! You look exhausted!! Fell asleep studying?"
"No, I was just reading. Since you're here why don't you come in, I'll make snacks." Maka dashes off to the kitchen and I take a seat in the living room.
"Ok remember," I whisper to myself. "You're Black Star, this conversation won't phase you whatsoever!" I guess it's time...
Maka jolts back carrying tea and a bag of chips.
"So what's up Black Star?"
"I have something to talk about... It kinda serious..."
"Oh, ok go a head." Her expression slips from friendly to concerned.
"I didn't really feel comfortable talking to Tsubaki about this cuz I live with her and stuff..."
"Are you calling me expandable?" She jokes, but I can still tell she's trying to hide the concern.
"You're a girl... And um..."
"Oh is this about a girl you like?" Maka giggles, "don't worry, I don't judge!" Her kind smile reassures me.
"Yeah, um... Kind of... I guess the first thing I need to say is..." I stutter, ok, it's ok. She won't judge, it's Maka I'm talking to. "He uh... I like guys."

The look of shock in her face forces my cheeks to go a bright shade of red, I can feel them warming as a blush. Was this a mistake? It's too late to turn back now, IM THE GREAT BLACK STAR I CAN DO THIS!
"No, I'm not gay. But I'm not strait either, I like dudes and chicks." My heart races. "I like Kid." I bury my face in my hands trying to hide my scared expression, DON'T SHOW WEAKNESS! "Please don't tell anyone!"
"Wow! You really scared me for a sec, I though something terrible happened!! Don't worry I won't tell anyone if you're not comfortable with it. Do you wanna talk for a bit?" I knew I could trust her! I was never even scared...

Kids POV

I stare into the polished mirror inside my private bathroom inside the mansion.
"Gay." I whisper. That's what I am. "Gay, I'm gay. That means I like males." Sounds like a pointless cheesy act from a dramatic movie, but over time it's become routine. A desperate attempt to accept myself. I've liked... No, loved guys since I can remember. Everyone is going to start relationships soon and I'll be left behind... Pathetic.
The grandfather clock reads "4:44am" time to prepare for school. Measure the picture frames, count the corn flakes in my breakfast cereal (only whole pieces) and burn down all the candles to symmetrical heights.
Just as I commence to leave the bathroom to get started I hear raspy voice.
"Kid? You up??" It's Liz.
"Yep, one second." I whisper and follow her voice to her room.
"Did I wake you up?"
"Kinda, where you watchin TV or something? I heard you talking." Shit.
"Uh... Yeah I was. I'll turn it down next time, I'm sorry for waking you." I turn to exit the room but Liz quickly grabs my arm.
"No... Please don't go."
