Strawberries and Stolen Kisses (boy x boy) [COMPLETED]

The whole house was heaving with people. Drunken girls stumbled out of the front door holding on to equally unstable men (both physically and mentally)

Sam ran his hands through his hair nervously and worriedly looked over at Chris. "Drinks?" Sam needed something to get through this.

Chris chuckled and shoved a bottle into Sam's hand "damn Sam I've never seen you so desperate to drink.... you're usually pretty weak" Chris teased.

Holly grabbed hold of Chris' arm and dragged him away "leave the poor boy alone. He is probably worried about seeing Amber" Holly winked and pulled Chris to the front door.

Sam looked away. The bad mood that had been following him all day descended quickly. Emily recognising this change gently pulled Sam after them. "Come on grumpy pants. Let's get a drink in you". Liam followed the two wondering what their relationship was.

Shoving a drunk girl off him, Liam poured the others some shots of Vodka, trying to get rid of the annoying thoughts that kept plaguing him. A couple of hours of loud yelling went by as they tried and failed to talk to each other over the loud music. Then he felt nails digging in to his bicep.

"Hello, handsome" Amber hissed seductively into his ear. "Let's go" she pulled him towards the dance floor before grinding her ass into Liam.

Liam could not imagine a more distasteful situation. Looking over at Sam he saw the boy turn away and drag Emily off somewhere.

.............................................................................

Sam was... very drunk. He was still aware of what was going on but he felt light and everything was very funny.

"Let's go in here" Emily almost fell over trying to get inside the bedroom. "Don't worry Sam I'm not going to try anything" she giggled at his wide eyes.

Sitting on the bed, Emily dragged Sam down to sit next to her. "Listen we need to talk. I like someone. Someone I shouldn't. You need to help me" She slurred

Sam tried to take hold of the situation "What's going on Emily you're being weird" Sam could kind of guess what was going on. He read people pretty well, well most people he thought, thinking about Liam.

"Well you see Sam the thing is that I'm different.."

"You like girls" Sam made a guess.

Emily smiled at Sam "you've always know us better than we know ourselves" she thought fondly "one girl actually. You're my best friend and since Holly is all lovey dovey with Chris, you're my only hope"

Sam tried to process all this "well you know I love you so you don't have to worry about coming out to them"

Emily laughed "no Sam that's not what I want.... can I kiss you?"

Sam stared at her in shock "why..?? I'm too drunk for this Ems... you know I don't like you like that! And you just said you liked girls and last time checked, I was a boy"

"Please Sam I don't like you like that but I need to know if I'm wrong before I come out... I haven't kissed anyone before"

"Ems you can't try and be someone you're not. Kissing me isn't going to help anyone... if you like this girl then be with her. I don't want to take your first kiss"

"I know but please I don't care about my first kiss I just need to know" Emily was desperate

Sam should have known better but in his drunken state he gave in. Placing his hands awkwardly on either side of her face, he squeezed his eyes shut and pretended he wasn't kissing his best mate. He didn't know if he wasn't feeling anything because of it being Emily or if it was something else.
