Ryan's POV

I felt my eyes widen at the question. I blushed and glanced away from him. How would Felix react if I told him? Would he want to leave or would he stick around and then feel awkward around me? I didn't want him feeling uncomfortable because of this."Yes," I murmured barley audible. I removed my arms from his waist and took a step back, avoiding eye contact with him. I couldn't look at him now that he knew.

There was a long pause before I felt Felix remove one of his hands from my waist and place it under my chin, lifting it so I was looking up at him. He got a little closer to me, pulling me forward slightly. He leaned down a little and pressed his lips against mine, his eyes fluttering closed. My eyes widened and my heart sped up as a bolt of electricity surged through me, making my skin tingle.

After a moment, I started kissing him back. I moved my hands to rest back on his waist. He kissed me back for a few more seconds, running a hand through my hair. He pulled away,bit kept close to me, looking into my eyes. His face got a little more red and he gave me a warm smile.

"Yeah, you can say I have a thing for you too," he murmured, lovingly running his hands down my sides to my waist. I was actually surprised that he liked me as well. I smiled warmly back at him. I ran my hand through his hair.

"That's a relief. I thought you would have wanted to leave and never talk to me again," I murmured. He smiled lovingly.

"I would never have done that," he said warmly, pulling me back in closer and pressing another kiss to my lips. I smiled and kissed him back, wrapping my arms around his waist. He pulled away after a few seconds and rested his forehead against mine.

"How long have you liked me,"he breathed with a small smile. He gently ran his hands slowly and lightly up my back anthem down my chest, stopping at my waist and resting his hands there.

"A few weeks after we became friends," I answered and rubbed his back gently. He smiled warmly and closed his eyes for a moment.

"I'd say probably around a month after we became friends. Where we did the collabs and stuff," he murmured softly, running his hands up and down my sides lightly. He smiled softly.

"I'm glad that we told each other, after all that time..." he whispered, me another quick kiss before pulling away. He ran his hands down my arms and took my hands in his.

"Me too. I would have told you sooner, but I was afraid of how you would react," I murmured and ran my thumb up and down his hand.

"I would have done the same, but I was scared of Marzia," he admitted. He locked our fingers together and glanced down at our hands. He looked back up at me.

"You don't have to worry. She can't hurt you anymore," I murmured. I wouldn't let her hurt Felix any more then what she already had.

"I know," Felix whispered quietly, looking into my eyes." Even if she tried to, I know you wouldn't let her," he added, a soft smile on his face. He leaned forward and kissed my cheek, smiling." Can I ask you something else," he murmured and pulled back and looked into my eyes again.

"Of course," I said and gave him a small smile. Felix let go of my hands and wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer so our faces were very close.

"Will you be my boyfriend," he asked in a soft voice, looking into my eyes. My smile widened slight and I rubbed his side gently.

"Yes. Of course I will Felix," I whispered. He grinned, gazing at me for a few seconds. He smiled softly and stroked one hand through my hair, leaning forward and pressing his lips against mine. I kissed him back for as long as I could before pulling away to catch my breath.

"Do you want to stay longer or head home?" I asked, trailing my hand along his side gently. Felix ruffled my hair slightly.

"We can head home," he said. I nodded and made my way out of the water. Felix followed beside me. Once I was out I grabbed my towel and started drying off. Felix dried off and walked over to me, wrapping an arm around my waist. I flung the towel over my shoulder and wrapped an arm around his waist as well.

We both started walking back to the car. I noticed some people were glaring at us and others who were with somebody were talking quietly amongst themselves. I tightened my arm around his waist protectivly. I glanced up at Felix. He had an unreadable expression on his face and he was looking down.

"Come on Felix," I whispered quietly. I quickened my pace slightly until we were away from the beach and back in the parking lot. Felix got into the car with out saying a word. I opened the door and grabbed my shoes and shirt. I put my shoes on and slid my shirt on and got into the car. I glanced concernedly over at Felix. He was looking out the window, deep in thought. I placed my hand on his and interlocked our fingers together. I started driving back to the house.

"Don't let the get to you Felix. This is just how society is," I murmured after a few seconds of silence. Felix let out a small sigh.

"I'm trying Ryan. I really am, but I just can't ignore them," he whispered. I ran my thumb across his hand lightly. I know how he felt. I've beed bullied about me being bisexual back in school and I've been criticized about it as an adult. I wish I could change that,but I can't change the way people think. I just wished that they wouldn't be so cruel about it. After a long silence, Felix cleared his throat and looked over at me.

"Ryan,when we get back to the house can we have lunch," he asked. I nodded.

"Sure. I'll see what I can make when we get back," I said. Felix gave my hand a slight squeeze.

"Thanks," he murmured. He looked back out the window, a small smile on his face. I smiled a little myself and started humming quietly. Felix smiled a little more and shifted his gaze over to me.

"Hey Ryan, can you sing to me," he asked. I smiled.

"Sure. Just let me think of a song," I murmured. I racked my brain to think of a song to sing. I smiled as a thought came to my head. I drew in a deep breath and started singing.

"All those arrows you threw, you threw them away.

You kept falling in love, and then one day.

When you fell, you fell towards me.

When you crashed in the clouds, you found me.

Oh, please don't go.

I want you so.

I cant let go.

For I lose control.

Get these left handed lovers out of your way.

They look hopeful but you, you should not stay.

If you want me to break down and give you the keys.

I can do that but I cant let you leave.

Oh, please don't go.

I want you so.

I cant let go.

For I lose control."

I stopped singing and took a quick glance over at Felix before looking back at the road.

"That was amazing," Felix murmured. He rested his hand on my thigh."You're a really good singer," he said.I smiled.

"Thanks Felix," I whispered. I laid my hand on his.

"It's true," he said with a  warm smile.

"I'm not as good as you," I said and gave his hand a slight squeeze.

"Awh, babe, you're too sweet," he smiled warmly. He leaned forward and gave me a quick kiss just below my ear at my jawline. He pulled back and gave my hand a slight squeeze.

"You know I'm telling the truth," I murmured. I let out a soft laugh as I noticed Felix blush and look away.

"Thanks Ryan," he murmured. Felix glanced back over at me."I love you," he said with a warm smile. I smiled a little more. It felt so nice for him to say that out loud.

I was so happy right now. I've wanted to say those words out loud for so long and now that I could,it felt amazing.

"I love you too Felix."
