Elton stood in the mirror, looking at himself.

"I know who you are..." He muttered.
"Some idiot who tells himself false truths to make it seem like-"
Elton sighed, eyes watering.

"Like you're not in love with your best friend."

"But you are." Elton said, pointing to himself.
"You're in love with your best friend, even though he's a man."
"And that doesn't matter to you, because all you can focus on is the feelings he creates for you." Elton whispered.

"Butterflies in your stomach, a warm and cozy feeling in your heart..." Elton said quietly.
"And you can't even tell him because he's straight and has a girlfriend."
"And those are reasons that make other feelings for you."

"Regret, heartbreak, anger and sadness." Elton listed off, a tear rolling down his cheek.
He stared himself in the eyes.
"You're pathetic, Elton Castee."
Elton trembled, looking away only to mumble to himself.

"I'm pathetically in love with my straight best friend."
