I Want To Love You (Detch)

Confessing Crushes

Denis' POV:
I hear my alarm go off. I turn it off and get up. I get dressed and brush my teeth. I grab a poptart from the kitchen and head out the door. I hop into the car and drive to the airport.

Elijah's POV:
I wake up and see that the plane is landing, which is great timing. When the plane lands I get off and get my suitcase and bags. I sit on one of the chairs and wait for Denis.
*1 hour later*
"What's taking him so long?", I thought. Right after I say that, I see Denis coming through the door. I start getting butterflies in my stomach. I don't know why. It feels...weird. I ignore it for now. Denis walks up to me. I stand up and hug him. I didn't want to let go. I felt his warm, skinny body press against mine. It was a nice feeling. After a minute or 2 we let go. "Well, are you ready to go?", he asks. "Y-yeah, I'm ready!", I reply. We walk out to the car. I put my things in the trunk and hop into the passenger seat. We drive off. I start staring at him. His smooth brown silky hair, his beautiful, big brown eyes, and his lucious, soft lips. Was I developing... feelings? I think I...love Denis. More than a friend. I wanted his lips against mine. I began to blush. He glanced at me and I look away blushing really hard. I stared out the window, watching the cars fly by.

Denis' POV:
I shot a quick glance at Elijah. I saw him staring at me and he looked away. I couldn't help it! His messy brown hair, his soft looking lips, his cute little nose, and his sparkling brown eyes were everything to me. I wish I could tell him I liked him but he doesn't know that i'm gay and I don't think he his. "Denis?", Elijah says. "Yes?", I reply. "I...Can we get some food? I'm hungry!", he says. I swear my heart stopped beating for a second. "Uhm, sure...where ya wanna go?", I ask. He takes a moment to reply. "Uhm, can we go to Mcdonalds?", he asks. "Y-yeah!", I say. I turn to the nearest exit and stop at mcdonalds and get some gas.

Alex's POV:
While Denis was picking up Elijah, I head downstairs to Corl's room. I needed his advice. Since he knows that i'm gay (Well, EVERYONE knows) and he's the only person here, I think i'll tell him that I have a crush on...someone. I head down the stairs into the room. I see him sitting at his set up asleep. "He must've had a stressful day", I thought to myself. He looked kinda adorable with his face squished into the desk. I shake him violently. He opens his eyes a bit and says," Hmmm?". "WAKE UP!!", I yell. He yawns and sits up in the chair. "Awe man! Did I fall asleep at my set up again?", he asks confused. I giggle a bit. "Yeah, you did", I say. He looks at his monitor and looks at the time. "Why are you waking me up at 5:00 in the morning?", he asks. "Well, I need your advice on something", I say. His rosy cheeks turn even redder. "Uhm, s-sure...", he says," go ahead!" I can't believe I'm actually about to tell him this. "Well, I...I like...Denis and I was wondering if you could help me", I say.

Corl's POV:
I can't believe he actually said that! The funny thing is...I ALSO LIKE DENIS. No one knows i'm gay not even Denis. I've had a crush on Denis ever sense we first met on the internet. Besides, I highly doubt that he's gay and if he was, I think he would just like to stay friends and nothing more than friends. "Well?", Alex says. I was having mixed emotions right now. I wanted to crawl in to a hole and die, I wanted to slap Alex, and I wanted to just kill myself. "No...", I say quietly. "What?", he says. "I said...NO!", I yell. He looked at me with a confused look. "Gosh! You don't have to yell at me! But why not?", he asks. I guess it's finally time to confess."Because...I..also l-like Denis", I say hesitantly. "WHAT?!", he yells,"But I LIKE DENIS!" I frown. "Well, I liked him wayyy before you have! Now, get out of my room!", I say. Alex stomps out of my room and up the stairs. I get up from the chair and flop down on my bed. I start crying. A few minutes later, I hear my phone buzz. It was Elijah! I was tired because it was so early but I decided to text him:
Elijah: Hey Cork!
Me: Hey Elijah! What's up?
E: I kinda need yo help on something
M: Uhm, sure! What is it?
E: Well, don't tell ANYONE about this, ya hear me?
M: Okay...
E: Well, for starters, I'm gay!
M: I support that :)
E: Okay, and second I have a crush! but idk how to tell him I love him...
M: Well...
E: ?
M: You should drop little hints that you're hitting on him and that you like him
E: Sounds easy enough
M: Do you mind if I ask you something?
E: Hit me!
M: Who do you like?
E: Uhm, promise you won't tell him or anyone else
M: Wait, I know him?
E: You should :P
M: Okay, I promise
E: Well, it's...
He takes a moment to reply
E: It's Denis
You've got to be kidding me!
M: YOU TOO?!!?
E: What? What do ya mean?
M: Sorry, I gtg
I stopped texting him. Elijah too?! Why does everyone have a crush on Denis?! Y'know what, I'm gonna make Denis mine!

Denis' POV:
Before we drove off from Mcdonalds, I decided to text Alex. I needed his smarts to help me. Besides, he's into guys like me, except he doesn't know that. No one knows that I like guys. I wanted to come out but I've decided to wait a bit. Alex will probably know how to charm a guy! I texted him:
Me: Hey Alex!
Alex: Hey Dingo! What's up?
M: I want to ask you something!
A: Go ahead
M: Sooo, you don't know this but i'm gay and I like Elijah...

Alex's POV:
WHAT?! He likes Elijah? But why? His hair looks like the mcdonalds logo! Why not me?
Denis: Hey? You still there?
Me: Yeah! I'm still here
D: Well, can you help me charm him in anyway
M: No! Bye!
D: Wha? What's the matter with you?
M: Nothing...
D: Why can't you help me?
I just ignored him at that point. I wanted to scream into my pillow but instead, my eyes started to water. Before I even know it, tears roll down my face and I start crying.

Elijah's POV:
Denis was texting someone. We finally take off and head to Denis' house. I stared at him again. I can't help myself. He's really cute. We finally arrive at Denis' house. "Well, we're here!", Denis says excited. I grab my suitcase and bags and head inside. "Wow! You're house is huge!", I say. I set my stuff down by the couch. I hear someone coming down the stairs. It was Alex! "Hey Elijah!", he says. "Hi Alex", I reply. We hug each other. "Where's Braden?," Denis asks. "He's down stairs", Alex says. I was confused. I thought this was downstairs. "He doesn't want to be bothered", he says. "Wait! Isn't this the down stairs?", I ask. "Well, yes and no. I have a basement. Come i'll show you!", Denis says. He walks me down to the basement. It looked much like a man cave or something. I saw Braden laying on his bed asleep. "Whoa! This looks sick", I say. "Heh, yeah! Anyways, lets let Braden have his sleep", Denis says. We walk back to the living room. "Where do I sleep?", I ask. "I don't have anymore rooms so I guess you'll have go sleep on the couch," he says," or you can bunk in my room with me!" I liked the second idea better. Not because I liked Denis and I would watch him sleep (not scary at all) but because it sounded cool and it would be like a sleepover! "I wanna bunk with you," I say. He smiles. "Alright! It's settled then! Follow me", he says. I grab my bags and suitcase and follow Denis up the stairs. As I enter his room, I set my stuff down by a window. "I'll go get some blankets and make a little bed on the floor," he says. He exits out the room. I sit on his bed and admire his room. It was really nice. A few moments later, he comes back in with a lot of blankets. He sets them on the floor to make it like a bed. "Even though it's 5:30 in the morning, i'm going back to sleep", Denis says. "Okay", I reply. I should probably do the same. I lay down and stare at the ceiling. A few minutes later, I fall asleep.
