Heights. That fear of falling, uncertainty. Any wrong move and you'd be dead. It's not quick either; the fall slowly antagonising you and making you wait, knowing you're about to die. I don't see how people stand heights. I hate them. So why in the fuck am I willingly participating in a zip-line? I've been on a zip-line before for the Cell Outs video we did and I'm surprised I didn't shit myself. I suppose there was one distraction... Wes.
He makes me smile. Not a small smile, a large-as-life grin. He's just so... adorable. Don't tell anyone or I will personally make you regret it but I have a huge crush on Wesley. The way he laughs makes me want to smile and when he does anything childish I want to cuddle him. He's also very... large. His frame is well-built, making me wonder how such a child can have such a man's body and I want to experiment different positions of cuddling with him. His hair is so amazing. I especially love his new hairstyle. There's something about dyed colours that I find aesthetically pleasing, like my eye is always drawn to that hair. His lips, don't get me fucking started. They're just so... perfectly shaped. I want to touch them with my own lips. They look so soft and moist. Not that I've been staring at them secretly or anything! He's also so positive, kind and accepting, as bright as the sun. As beautiful as a star. Glimmering, bright, beautiful and amazing. However, he makes me nervous as shit. Not that I mind, but I'm afraid I'll get caught staring at his handsome face or saying something I shouldn't. Is he even gay? Probably not, but I can deal with fantasy.
Now, we're here just because we wanted to, or rather he wanted to and I didn't have the heart nor the balls to say no. His begging face accompanied with a huge, childish pout and silly voice begging had me convinced. So here we were, the two of us in a car, him driving with an excited smile while I was internally panicking. I stared at him and he calmed my nerves slightly. I didn't realise we had arrived until his head turned to face me. He caught me staring. I quickly looked in another direction, my face felt hot, and I knew I was blushing.
"You alright, David?" He asked me and I could hear the smile and giddiness in his voice. I looked at him, my eyes meeting his. I nodded quickly.
"Yeah." My voice betrayed me by cracking and I felt my heart beat quicker. I needed to get out of the situation fast before it got out of hand. Well, it depends what "out of hand" means. I quickly got out of the car and took a moment to breath in cool, fresh air. I heard his car door slam shut and I looked to him, regaining my usually casual personality. I cleared my throat and spoke normally. "Come on. Let's get this over with." I said in a joking tone. He smiled and started walking towards the zip-line place, a bounce to his step and a grin on his face. I walked behind him, trying to calm my nerves but I got distracted staring at him. We walked inside the building, signed in and got ready. We waited to be strapped in at the top and I looked down. Shit, shit, shit. Suddenly, I don't wanna do this. I felt my muscles tense and I quickly backed away from the edge, despite there being a large rail to prevent anyone from falling. My heart bashed against my rib cage, endlessly drumming in my ears as my chest rose and fell heavily to try and get as much oxygen as possible. Two hands grabbed my arms and snapped me away from my torment, my gaze meeting two pairs of concerned eyes that belonged to Wes' familiar face. Immediately, I calmed slightly.
"Are you okay?" He asked me. I didn't want to lie but I didn't want to be awkward. We were already in our harnesses and he was so happy that he was going on a zip-line again that I didn't want to ruin it for him.
"Yeah, fine." I shrugged but, again, my voice cracked. He looked at me with unconvinced eyes and I broke. "No, I'm not. I'm terrified." I look down in embarrassment but a finger was put under my chin, forcing my head to tilt upwards and his glance met my stare. I gulped in nervousness.
"Why didn't you tell me?" His voice showed nothing but understanding and concern, which made my heart melt.
"I don't know. I just didn't wanna seem like a loser, plus you were so excited and I didn't wanna ruin that." I sighed. He laughed slightly and my eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
"You think the zip-lining was why I was excited?" He asked me with a shocked tone and I nodded. "I was excited because I got to hang out with you. I don't care what we do." He smiled goofily but then it faded, replaced with a face of guilt and regret. "Oh my God, I forgot about your fear of heights!" He exclaimed. "I'm so sorry." This time, it was my turn to smile.
"Nah, it's no problem. I'll admit, I was excited to hang out with you too. If anyone else had asked me, I would've said no." I admitted with a slight blush and large smile. I saw something change in his gaze. His eyes held seriousness yet compassion. Then his focus flickered down. I blinked as my smile faded, guessing what he was thinking. I copied his movements, staring at those lips I'd memorised with my eyes. I looked back up to his beautiful hazel eyes and we both knew what was about to happen. However, I didn't expect what he actually did. Instead of a slow kiss, he grabbed my shirt and pulled me in quickly, leaning down and our lips slammed together. I gasped. Holy shit. I was actually kissing Wes. I had imagined this moment but it was incredible. His lips felt so warm and fit against mine perfectly. I instantly melted into the kiss, standing on my tiptoes to get more action. My arms slid up his chest and hung loosely around his neck, resting on his shoulders. Once his hands planted themselves on my waist, I pulled back and looked down, blushing furiously with a nervous chuckle.
"David." His voice was soft and I looked up to see the most loving pair of eyes to ever stare back at me. He smiled brightly. "We're next." He chuckled and removed his hands from my waist. I dropped my arms and was about to frown but he grabbed my hand and giggled cutely causing me to smile. We both got strapped up and I realised my nervousness had completely vanished. Until the gates lowered to reveal the city below me. I gulped as my breathing picked up and I stared in horror at the view. "David." Wes called my name and I looked at him. "I'll be waiting at the bottom, okay?" He said kindly, which made me smile and nod.
"Alright." I breathed.
"I love you." He said sweetly, making my heart explode. Then we were released. I screamed.
"Oh my God!" I shouted but looked to him briefly to see him squealing and giggling in excitement. I laughed.
"Wooooooo!" I shouted in delight, suddenly enjoying this. Perhaps it was the giddiness of what Wes had just said. He loved me. He actually loved me. We zoomed down the zip-line and the stopper caused us to suddenly stop and it almost knocked the wind out of me. I made a sound of shock due to the impact and we were gently lowered to the ground. I felt a little dizzy once I was removed from my harness but Wes approached me with the same energy he always had, beaming. I tried to walk but stumbled with an embarrassed laugh. However, I stumbled into him and he swiftly put his arms around me, hugging me. I breathed deeply for a couple of moments, relaxing into his embrace. "I love you too." I smiled and looked up at him, and we kissed tenderly.
Suddenly, I didn't have such a fear of heights anymore. I suppose there was one distraction... Wes.
