"Do you think that scientists just looked at the milky way and were like 'damn that looks like some milk' and that's how they named it?" Max giggled, looking at the stars.

It was about nine now and Ian and Max had broke into Ian's parent's liquor stash. Both boys were completely drunk.

They were now laying in Ian's backyard, side by side looking st the sky. Open beers next to them.

"Shit, probably," Ian laughed.

"You know," Max slurred as he rolled onto his stomach and put his chin on his arms. "You seem homophobic sometimes."

"I don't mean to," Ian said as he did the same. "I'm really not."

"That's good."

"You say that like you're a homosexual," Ian joked.

"What if I am?" Max shrugged before rolling back onto his back.

"Are you questioning?" Ian asked, looking at Max.

"I think I am but I've never done anything to prove it or disprove it," Max admitted as he closed his eyes.

A feel of something touching him made him open his eyes back up. When he opened them, he was shocked to see Ian on top of him.

"Let's test it, shall we?" Ian said before leaning in and kissing Max. Max was quick to kiss back. It was a sloppy drunk kiss, but nonetheless it was a kiss.

Max jolted awake and looked around. He was in his room and it was dark out. He didn't feel drunk or hungover at all.

Max sighed as he laid back down. It was only a dream, well a dream of a memory actually. That night happened a little over a year ago.

All they did was kiss but it ignited the small spark of attraction Max had for Ian. Sadly, Ian didn't remember the kiss the next morning and Max didn't remind him of it either.

Checking the time on his phone, Max realised it was two in the morning. He was awake now and decided to see if Ian was possibly up.
