CRYDE

(7) Do You Love Me?

'"Hey.. I love you.. III LOOOVE YOOOUU. I.. Ugh.. This is hopeless.."'

Clyde murmured to himself in front of a mirror inside the boys bathroom of the school. He appeared to be practicing in front of himself.. An even more detailed confession than before, perhaps? He usually felt immediate confidence for himself when practicing something in the mirror (which he tends to do a lot), but seemed more stressed out about it this time. He decided to just get it over with, releasing a deep sigh before heading towards the exit.

(Clyde's POV)
I desperately wanted to leave and talk to Craig as soon as possible.. However, that apparently came sooner than I intended it to be. I suddenly backed up to the door opening before I could get to it. I looked up at the tall figure, quickly recognizing that familiar freckled face. "C-Craig?" I asked, taking another hesitant step back. "Clyde, we need to talk.." He said in a serious tone, closing and I couldn't stress this enough, locking the door behind us. "H-how'd you know I was in here?" I asked as my voice cracked a little from the worry. Craig was silent for a moment, looking down at me with a "you're a fucking idiot" look, "We literally got off the same bus. I saw you run in here." He answered, then quickly took me by the shoulders and leisurely pushed me against the wall before I was able to reply. "Craig?.." I asked, looking up into those crocodile green eyes. I tried to lightly struggle out of his hands against my shoulders as he finally released me, pressing his hands against the wall behind me to prevent my escape. Before I knew it, his lips were onto mine. Deeply kissing me with his soft mouth, pinning me against the firm wall, leaving me no choice but to kiss back. My eyes flutter close and my knees grew weak. How the heck did Craig have so much affect on me??

(Craig's POV)

'"Clyde, we need to talk.." Yeah, that was some great conversation. Way to go, Tucker.'

I slowly pulled away from the brunette, opening my eyes halfway to Clyde gazing at me with a red flustered expression. "Clyde. Do you really love me?.." I asked in curiosity, not even bothering to let him know that I heard him yelling "I love you" through the bathroom door earlier. His response was just a slow, simple nod. He didn't even say anything. He honestly didn't need to. I was fully convinced that this funny, dumbass, jock boy was in love with me. I gave him a soft smile and pulled my hands away from the wall, ruffling the hazel head of hair before me, "I love you too." I replied softly to the speechless answer. It was then that Clyde had engulfed me into a tight bear hug. I nearly melted. I tried my best to hug back with my imprisoned arms, squeezing the only parts of Clyde I was able to reach. Once we finally parted, I held Clyde by the shoulders once more, "We should get going. It's almost time for class." I explained, gently stroking a thumb across the shoulder part of the other boys' jacket. He nodded and we quickly began to make our way to the bathroom door when Clyde suddenly stopped us, "Wait.. Are we, like.. Together? Y'know, like.. G-gay?.." he asked, looking up at me with those sparkly as hell chocolate brown eyes, "Er.. Yeah, I guess so. Only if you wanted to be." I answered, holding an open hand out to my side. Clyde noticed this, and grinned up at me.. With that stupid, handsome fucking smile. I felt his hand softly grip onto my offered one, our fingers interlocking ever so nicely. Exiting the bathroom at last, we walked down the hall with each other, making our way to class. While walking, we got stares, mumbles, all of that nonsense. But we didn't care.. All we cared about is that we were finally happy.
