thank you -cherrybxbe
for this request!

Oliver was perfectly happy in his relationship with Emaline, so why couldn't he stop thinking about the curly haired boy from the AV club?

He was tossing and turning in his bed, trying to make sense of his feelings. Sure, he had thought guys were good-looking before, but not like Tyler. Tyler was different, but he couldn't figure out why.

It started the day the AV club came to the theater to pitch their movie idea. Tyler seemed to peak Oliver's interest. He dressed weirdly and had a squeaky voice. He was shy and unsure of himself. He was nothing like Emaline, so why was Oliver so drawn to him?

He wasn't sure if it was exactly a crush, but the signs were certainly there. When Tyler showed up to audition for Intergalactic Lust, the senior was eager to see him try out. Although he wasn't sure what he was saying, Oliver sure was interested. He could not stop smiling, and he felt butterflies in his stomach as he watched him.

When they spent time together in the woods, Oliver had never felt more free. When he made the younger boy laugh, his heart melted and he felt like he had achieved something great.

Now that they had started shooting the movie, Oliver always wanted to be around him. At first, he felt idiotic wearing his costume, but he got over it once Tyler had said, "You look awesome in blue face paint." Whenever they were together, Oliver would change completely. He would get flustered, start to blush and fumble over his words. When he saw him talking and laughing with other people in the group, he could feel his heart tinge of jealousy. He wanted to spend more time with him and become closer with him, but whenever he began to ask, he would get too nervous and stop himself. Their conversations, even simple and mundane ones, would make Oliver's day and he would replay them a thousand times in his head later.

He covered his head with a pillow and grunted in frustration, realizing what all of this meant. "I cannot believe I have a crush on a fucking freshman boy," he muttered to himself.

'What about Emaline' he thought. 'Does this mean I'm gay?' He realized he did think Tyler was cute... like really cute, and he was affecting his emotions this way, so he must not be so straight after all.

The next day, the group continued filming. The second he saw Tyler, his heart instantly sped up. "Hey, Oliver," he said with the crack in his voice that the older boy had come to love.

"Oh. H-hi Tyler," he stuttered. He could feel the familiar butterflies fluttering in his stomach.

"Do you want to hang out later? Like... after we're done shooting today's scenes?" the younger asked nervously.

Oliver was shocked. A blush fell over his cheeks and his lips grew into a small smile. Obviously, he wanted to say yes, but the words just wouldn't come out. Tyler looked at him worriedly.

"Y-yeah. That would be fun."
