This is it. Today is the day I'm going to confess. Right now, me and Jack were just hanging around the house, doing whatever since we had some free time. We ended up sitting on the couch and playing Mario Kart for a while just for the hell of it. It was oddly quiet, and we didn't really talk to each other much. Weird. Well, for Jack at least.

I decided to pause the game, which made Jack look at me and raise a brow. "Somethin' wrong?"

"I was just about to ask you the same thing."

That made Jack stop for a moment and shifted his gaze away from mine, soon turning his head back to the screen. "Nah...it's nothin'.." He faintly frowned and looked at the floor for a moment. I raised a brow. "Are you sure? It sure seems like it."

"Look, I said it's nothing.." He trailed off and mumbled something that I couldn't hear. "What was that?"

Jack shook his head. "Nothing-"

"Jack, I can tell that you're not telling me something. Whatever it is, I'm here to at least be someone to talk to."

"But-..." He sighed and put his controller down. "...Fine...but please don't hate me or anything.."

I nodded and set mine down as well. "I won't."

Jack sighed, kind of taking a deep breath before, and started fiddling with his hands. "Um...M-Mark? I, um...me and Signe haven't really been talking or anything lately, and we got in a fight the other day...I think we're over.." He started tearing up, and I gave him the time to keep talking. "..And uh...I-I've been thinking... Look, Mark. I...I really like you-no-I love you. I think that's why Signe got mad at me...but, um, i-if you don't feel the same, that's fine.." He frowned, having a sad tone as he spoke.

I was taken back by what he said. He likes me? Well, just my luck!

"..Could we at least still be friends?"

I smiled softly and hugged him. "Seán, I love you too...and I'm sorry about the thing with Signe." I felt him hug back, a bit tightly, and I stopped smiling when I heard him start to cry. "Jack, are you okay?"

"Y-Yeah...I'm fine.." He pulled away and smiled, smiling more and blushing when I kissed his forehead. He hugged me again after I wiped some of his tears away. "And now I'm even better.."
