"Why is this happening? I can't be in love with him! He is a boy and I am a boy. I'm a straight male... But my heart beats so fast for him and my palms get sweaty when he is around, and when we hang out. " I said to myself in my room. "But I don't understand why I like him so much... maybe it his brown eyes that stare back at my blue ones... Or it is how soft and fluffy his dark brown hair is." I am pulled out from talking to myself when Sam yells up the stairs if I want to go get Chipotle for lunch and of course I say yes just to get him off my mind.

I quickly throw on a hoodie and some skinny jeans and head out my bedroom door.

About fifteen-ish minutes later we are at chipotle and we have our food and we sit down. Then I notice someone across the room in the line. It is him.. It.. it.. can't be it can't be him I thought he was vlogging today. Oh, wait, he is probably doing the challenge that is trending on youtube right now when he lets his Instagram followers control his day and I guess they chose Chipotle over something else or he just didn't want Tender Greens. He just so happens to look over to where Sam and I sit and wave. Come on, luck is not on my side today! I slightly wave back to him.

Once he has got his food he comes over to our table and sits down. My heart starts the race, I bet he could hear it and I don't like that he could probably also see me sweating. No, no, calm down. Calm down. I need to calm down because he could probably see me freaking out.

After we finish eating lunch we get up and start to head out the door.

"Hey, is it okay if I come over and hang for a little bit?" he questions and of course we said yes he is our friend.

He hops into his truck and we hop into our car and head back to the house with him following.

We head to the living room to chat. We are just sitting on the couch lounging around talking about video ideas that we were thinking of doing. While we were talking I was just scanning his outfit. How it looked so perfect on him. There was no imperfection. How the oversized black sweatshirt fit his built body and how the skinny jeans hugged his legs. I was zoning off.

"Hey, Colby? Colby? You there?" He says and my heart starts to race and my hands turn clammy.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. I think I'm just tired." I say trying to wipe the sweat from my hands on my pants. "I think I'm going to head upstairs and take a nap till dinner." I stand up and head towards the stairs.

"Okay, I'll call you down!" I hear Sam yell and go back to talking with him.

I shut my door and flop down on my bed, face first into a pillow. What is wrong with me why do I like him so much? He looks so good but I know he'll never like me back and we always joke around being gay but now that I know I'm gay I don't know what to do.

I hear the door slowly open and I don't bother looking up to see who it is and pretend to sleep.

"Colby you can't-fool me." It's him. "I know you're not sleeping." I stay still then I feel him lay on top of me. Brennen. He is laying his head on my back. My heart starts to race and I start to sweat again. I try to forget everything that is happening right now.

"Colby, you know I can hear your heart race right and I love how it beats this fast for me..." I hear Brennen say. "I could tell from the beginning that you liked me or even loved me this way."

I try to stutter out words but it fails, I try and try again it still doesn't work then he just shushes me.
