Crush - a Kyman fanfic

Confession

Kyles POV

I can do this. I can do this. Just breathe. It's gonna be okay. I can do this. He's round the back, by the gym steps. Where we always sit. I text him a pretty simple "meet me by the back of the gym". It's relatively empty round there, especially at lunch time. I get up from the lunchroom and start making my way out the big doors and walk around the corridor.
I turn round the corner, and there he is. Sat on the steps looking left and right, just where I asked him to meet. I start to feel the tension. That feeling. I'm stood still, just looking across the school corridor only ten yards away. Our eyes finally meet. His head heightens as he looks across at me, a smile starts to work itself out on his face. I do the same. I start walking over, nervously of course, but kinda hopeful. It's that smile.. that damned smile..
Eric: Hey Kahl, what's up?
he asks, standing up. Still smiling that smile..
Kyle: Heyy dude! Uhm.. can I..can I talk to you?
Eric: uh sure!
Our eyes are locked. My stomach full of butterflies. My heart in my mouth- I exhale. I look him straight in the eyes. His smile adjusts into a look of concern, I mean, no wonder, I'm a nervous wreck!
Kyle: look. I know..I know this might sound stupid. Or maybe you'd kinda understand. But to be honest, I don't care anymore. I don't care what anyone else might think..
Here goes.
I look him straight in the eyes.
Kyle: I think..that maybe I might like you. Kinda a lot.. I don't know how, or why, even after everything you've done to me and people around us.. this feeling..I've tried so hard but it won't go away. This whole time I've been trying to make up excuses like..well..anything but a crush. But it truly pains me to hide the truth for any longer. I don't know if there's a way in hell that you'd like me, uh, back, and I'm sure you're just gonna rip on me and call me a fag but.. I just needed to.. tell you.
It's silent. Oh god.. his face.. it's.. I can't tell. Oh god I feel sick-
Eric: Kahl.. do you wanna..go somewhere? Do you wanna.. come to my house after school?
Kyle: w-wait, you're not gonna bring me to your place to beat me up and-
Eric: no no! Kahl it's.. I think.. I might...maybe like you ba-
Kyle: Okay! Okay.. yea uh I'll meet you right here at three?
Eric: yea, yea.. then we can maybe figure this out..
I turn around to walk the other way, still shaken up.
Eric: Kahl, before you go..
I spin back around to face him.
Eric: do you think.. do you think that we're..uh..gay? I mean..because you dated Leslie and Nicole a-and I dated Heidi and stuff and-
God hearing those girls names- I can't. I pace back towards him and take his hand, I look right back him into his glossy eyes. I squeeze his hand gently.
Kyle: Cartm- uh- Eric.. we'll figure this out. Together. It's gonna be okay.
There's silence. My heart starts to beat faster, our eyes completely fixated into one anothers'. Our faces slowly getting closer, our foreheads touch gently. The bell rings, immediately catching both of us off guard. I jump back, letting go of his hand. I start fixing my hat and looking in all directions in pure shock of the situation. The corridor starts to fill up as we both stand around looking in all directions, our faces burning up.
Kyle: okay uh.. s-see ya.
We both start kinda speed walking in the opposite direction, heading towards our next classroom, which thank god, we don't share.
I did it.. I actually did it! I told him the truth..and...did he say he likes me back? Oh god, I'm going to his house after school! Is this really happening? This is a lot of pressure.. Okay.. we just gotta wait till the end of the day. Then.. I guess... whatever happens happens. *exhale*
