~*Sky's POV*~
I walked nervously to the cliff. The cliff that me and my best friend, Ty, met at.
*Flashback*
I was almost to The Cliff. It was my favorite spot. Every day I went there to watch the sun go down. It was the perfect view of a beautiful field, with long grass that flowed like an ocean. Off in the distance were some mountains that I had vowed to one day climb.
When I arrived to The Cliff, I was startled to see a young boy, probably a couple years younger than I, sitting on the edge, admiring the view of the field, very much like I did. He had long, auburn hair. He wore a light grey t-shirt and dark grey jeans and black sneakers. He also had a pair of black and green headphones.
I was a bit annoyed because I liked to spend the experience of the sunset by myself. But it might be nice for a change.
I slowly walked over and sat beside the boy. When the boy saw me, he jumped a little and looked back down, not wanting me to see his tears.
I saw his face. It was red, his cheeks puffy. He had bangs that covered his entire left eye.
"A-are you ok?" I asked nervously.
The boy nervously wiped his eyes. "Y-yeah, I'm fine."
I didn't want to bother him any more, but I wanted to know why he was crying. "No you're not."
"Why do you care? We don't even know each other!" the boy said, raising his voice. His voice was shaky.
I didn't know what to say. I wasn't that great when it came to comforting people. "Please tell me, I promise you can trust me."
The boy shyly looked up at me with bloodshot eyes. "D-don't make fun of me or anything."
"I won't."
The boy sighed and looked out at the field. "W-well, a few hours ago I t-told my parents that I," he sighed shakily, "that I'm gay. They didn't take it well at all. My mom screamed in shock, not in a good way, and my dad started throwing stuff and threatening me a-and it was just a complete disaster," he managed to say before tears formed in his eyes and he buried his face in his knees again.
I shifted awkwardly. I obviously had nothing wrong with gay people, considering I'm bi, I just didn't know what to say. "Oh." was all I said.
"I knew you'd hate me." the boy choked out.
"I don't hate you! In fact, I'm actually bi. I know how it feels. My mom took it fine but my dad was upset." I said.
He looked up at me. I gave him a reassuring smile and the boy smiled back shyly and looked down.
*Flashback ends*
Almost a year later and we're best friends now. We don't go to The Cliff that often anymore, but when we rarely did, I loved it. I had practically fallen in love with my younger friend. But I knew Ty would never love me back.
When I got to The Cliff, I saw Ty sitting there, legs hanging off the edge. His hair blew in the wind like the long grass in the field in front of him. I started walking over and sat down next to Ty. Just being near him made my thoughts scatter into a big mess in my head.
Ty looked over at me and smiled. That smile that I loved so much. Ty's smile was the one thing that I looked forward to every day, the thing that I lived for.
"So, how was your day?" I asked.
Ty's eyes immediately lit up. "Honestly, it was great!" he said happily. Ty went on about his day, but I had stopped listening by then. I was too busy staring at Ty's beautiful face. The way his eyes lit up whenever he talked about something that made him happy. The way the sun reflected off of his scarlet eyes which made them shine with so much beauty. The way he hid behind his bangs whenever he got embarrassed or shy. I always wondered why he refused to let anyone see him without his bangs, but I didn't care. I thought they were unique. I thought everything about Ty was unique. Every little thing about him was like a work of art and when you put it all together you'd get a beautiful mosaic. A masterpiece.
"Why can't I have him?" I thought.
"Why can't I just kiss him right now?" I thought.
"Why can't I put my arm around his shoulder right now while he rests his head on my shoulder while I whisper 'I love you' over and over again?"
"Why?"
"Why?"
"Sky? Hello?" Ty said, snapping his fingers in front of my face. I came back to my senses and Ty giggled. I always loved when Ty did that dumb adorable giggle of his.
"What were you thinking about?" Ty asked.
I thought. "Just something that I really want that I can't have," I said.
"Oh. Well, I said that the sunset gets more and more beautiful every time we come here, don't you think?"
I smiled. "Sure does."
But Ty is more beautiful than the sunset will ever be.
~*Ty's POV*~
I waited patiently for Sky to get here. I loved spending the end of the day at The Cliff with him.
I heard footsteps behind me and then I felt the presence of Sky sit next to me. I felt butterflies in my stomach and my face get hot. I had already planned out what I was gonna say to him because he always asked me how my day was.
"So, how was your day?" Sky asked.
I couldn't hold back my smile "Honestly, it was great! I did good on my exam which I studied all night for, so that was cool." I felt Sky's gaze on me. I looked up for a split second and saw him staring at me. I quickly looked back down and I could feel the blush on my cheeks. I forgot everything I planned to talk about, my thoughts were racing through my head. "Y'know, every time I come here it's like the sunset gets more and more beautiful. Don't you think?" I asked. Sky didn't respond. I looked up and saw him still staring at me. I think he was zoned out. "Sky? Hello?" I snapped my fingers in front of his face. He finally snapped out of it and I giggled at him because he was blushing from embarrassment which I thought was adorable.
"What were you thinking about?" I asked.
He paused for a moment. "Just something that I really want that I can't have."
"Oh," I said, "well I said that the sunset gets more and more beautiful every time we come here, don't you think?"
He smiled. "Sure does."
